Widespread Human Rights Abuses Reported...
The U.N. Human Rights Council began a three-week session Monday amid reports of widespread human rights violations around the world and escalating threats against human rights defenders. The new session of the rights council takes place against the backdrop of immense human suffering caused by devastating floods in Pakistan, violence and conflict in places, such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia and indiscriminate killings of civilians. In her speech to the Council, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, drew attention to the vital role played by human rights defenders in exposing abuse around the world. These people, she said, as well as journalists and civil society activists in...
Why Justice Is Still Important Years After the...
An international court based in Argentina is hearing the charges of human rights abuses under the military regime of Francisco Franco during his time as leader of Spain from the 1930's to the 1970's. To this point, Spain has given amnesty to all the actions done under Franco's regime in order to try to bring peace between the deeply divided nation. However, as time has passed on, more and more people are unsatisfied with that response- they are seeking some type of justice, or at the minimum recognition, for the great human rights abuses which were committed under Franco's rule. Peace and harmony is deeply important; but justice and the truth cannot be sacrificed in order to avoid any type of...
American State Laws Put Into the UN Human...
To borrow the Fox News moniker, I try to be fair and balanced when I write articles with political content. I try to give information to support either side of an argument, though admittedly, you usually know which side of the fence I'm on by the time you reach the bottom of the article. This article will be different; mainly because, in my opinion, there is NO plausible, contradicting argument. The Obama Administration made its report to the UN Human Rights Council public. This report delineates the condition of human rights in America. Included in this report is the Arizona SB-1070 law and Gov. Brewer is, rightly, irate. But, let us not stop there. Apparently America also violates human rights...
Iran's Human Rights Record Deserves Immediate...
Last week, the nuclear dossier of Iran's theocratic regime was officially brought before the United Nations Security Council and a Presidential Statement was released calling on Tehran to abandon its all enrichment-related activity. Although the statement was watered down to accommodate Russia and China, it is important to realize the significance of the first step taken by the Security Council. No matter what Iran may do now and how long we may be away before sanctions are imposed, the referral in and of itself is a major step in dealing with the mullahs. The regime's reaction, ludicrous statements and the hollow show of force is indicative of the seriousness of the Security Council referral. What...
Why Does China Engage in Human Right Violation...
A centralized government that controls everything in its state has quite a few advantages when it wants to do something. It doesn't have to ask anyone, because it just does it. Now, couple that with the fact that China is a communist state; meaning it can basically do whatever it wants within its boundaries, and no one can stop them. Still, the world has a problem when large nation states engage in human rights violations attacking their own people. The Chinese Government is having growing pains, it's trying to find itself, and it has got quite a bit of support from the United States, as our middle class has been buying their products and we have helped that nation in providing it's GDP with 10...
Iraq's Death Row for - Samar Saed Abudullan -...
BAGHDAD, Iraq CNN has decided to published Samar Saed Abudullan's death row case (along with others), not sure why, but it looks like Amnesty International has also got involved. Before I get too much in this 'pure opinion,' article of mine, I am writing; let me tell you how I feel in a flash flooded way. I belonged to Amnesty International once, and I always found out when they got involved, they never told the public, or me the whole story, just wanted support from me, and everybody else. So I've learned not to trust their data all that much, nor their intent. And for CNN, I like their news, although in this case I think they are not only slanted, but gullible, if not naive to take this as...
Ramifications of the Human Rights Act
The Human Rights Act 1998 has important ramifications for all aspects of police work. Police Investigation, the conduct of prosecution and the presentation of evidence in court, have all conflicted with Human Rights. In the context of criminal cases the main areas of Human Rights include:o Right to a fair trial (Article 6 of the Convention)o Right to privacy (Article 8 of the Convention)o Right to an effective remedy (Article 13 of the Convention) The courts are required to 'read and give effect' to primary legislation in a way which is compatible with the Convention Rights 'so far is possible to do so'. Examination of the effects of the Convention on the Criminal Justice System reveals the problems...

Internet access is considered one of the most basic and important necessities in life these days. People use the online media to facilitate some of the most important and useful transactions these days.
