Human Rights
"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." This is what it says in the very first Article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The idea of Human Rights is one of the most important fundaments of human co-existence. At the same time human rights are subject to fierce debates and Human Rights violations are common all over the world. But what exactly are Human Rights? Who is responsible for protecting them? And do they really apply to all people? These are the question the newest animated Video clip in the WissensWerte series deals with. Click "CC" in the navigation bar for chinese subtitles.

Obama Targets Tech in Human Rights Abuse
US President Barack Obama has announced fresh sanctions against Iran, Syria and those who help them use technology to perpetrate human rights abuses. He announced the new sanctions against "digital guns for hire" in a speech at the US Holocaust Museum. Mr Obama has also asked US intelligence groups to include assessments of the likelihood of mass killings in its co-ordinated reports. He said: "National sovereignty is never a licence to slaughter your people." Washington (CNN) - President Barack Obama announced Monday that he has signed an executive order allowing new sanctions against companies that enable Syria and Iran to use technology such as cell phone monitoring to carry out human rights abuses. The order is part of a broader strategy intended to strengthen the administration's ability to prevent atrocities, including creation of an Atrocities Prevention Board, Obama said in somber remarks at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day. "These technologies should be in place to empower citizens, not to repress them," Obama said of the measure, which targets the Syrian and Iranian governments, as well as companies that provide them with high-tech equipment to use against their own people. www.infowars.com www.prisonplanet.tv twitter.com www.facebook.com

The Burning Issue: The DNA of Human Rights
'What are human rights and where do they come from?', asks Professor Conor Gearty in the latest Burning Issue lecture from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Gearty, a professor of human rights law and a practising barrister, looks at the history of human rights and ideas that have informed their development such as democracy and dignity. He challenges the notion that human rights are a western idea, a mere 'cultural accessory', or that they can be used to justify 'necessary evil' -- as an excuse to go to war or to torture as part of interrogation for example. The lecture explores the reality of what it is like to be deprived of one's human rights through interviews with a victim of torture and a psychologist. Professor Gearty argues: "We risk our culture if we collude in the idea that our way of life is so valuable that we can afford to depart from it in order to secure it." The lecture is the third and final of LSE's 'Burning Issues' lectures -- a short series of interactive talks, designed to showcase the social sciences to a non-academic audience. In the first lecture, 'Parasites -- enemy of the poor', Professor Tim Allen questions the effectiveness of our fight against one of humankind's most endemic invisible enemies. In the second lecture, the 'Right to Die', Professor Emily Jackson tackles the provocative issue of assisted dying. The Burning Issue Lectures are supported by the LSE Annual Fund and Cato Stonex (BSc International Relations 1986).

I'm stunned its still here. When Creation Science Ministries went DMCA happy.... first in line. When Anonymous went for Scientology... right in the front line there too! Two conflicts with Youtube, both, surprisingly resolved by everything getting reinstated (well to be fair, what was being asked for was little more than what was reasonable, but still) Two DMCAs against Viacom, One DMCA battle with the chronic DMCA abuser Venomfangx (resolved by him reading an apology) One DMCA battle with the DMCA abuser Drcraigvideos (DMCA won, after serious attempts to take him to court, he 'quit' youtube) Having my docs dropped by the 'moderate muslim' Dawahfilms. Having Dawahfilms try to get me fired by contacting my workplace. The guy is now claiming that human rights are inhuman as they do not tolerate absolute religious views (you know, human sacrifcie by the Aztecs and so forth). This is the same 'moderate muslim' who MANY youtubers vigorously supported on the basis that I was being a irrational, islamophobic bigot etc etc. Anyway, now that I really don't have anything to stop me from revealing what work I do, a few keywords would have been enough.

euronews I talk - Human rights in Europe is getting worse says Commissioner Thomas Hammarberg
www.euronews.com Chris Burns: "The Council of Europe's Human Rights Commissioner, Thomas Hammarberg, wraps up his six year term at the end of this month and he's going out with a bang not a whimper. The former head of Amnesty International, he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977 on behalf of Amnesty says the human rights situation in Europe is getting worse not better. "It's your chance now to ask questions to Mr Hammarberg, who is joining us from Luxembourg. Mr Hammarberg, wrapping up your six year term, how does it feel and the fact that things are worse and not better after six years..." Thomas Hammarberg: "I think that I am a bit disappointed there is no ground for complacency in Europe about our human rights performance. One reason of course is the economic crisis, which has undermined the social rights for quite a number of people as a consequence of the austerity budgets but also I feel that the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in New York on the 11th of September 2001 has not had a good effect on the respect for human rights. People have been arrested and tortured even when there was no real proof that they had been involved in the planning of this terrorist attack. And torture, of course, should be absolutely forbidden."

The triumph of Human Rights: dream or nightmare? (26 Jan 2012)
Colm O'Cinneide (UCL Laws) Since 1945, the language of human rights has acquired great potency and resonance. Human rights law plays an ever-greater role in national legal systems, and states are now expected to respect an ever-growing range of basic rights. However, a growing backlash can now be detected against the apparently ever-expanding scope of human rights guarantees. Has the concept of human rights been stretched too far? Has it departed from its core mission? This lecture addresses some of these questions, and makes the case for an expansive conception of rights.

Somalia: Child Soldiers
www.hrw.org Somalia: Warring Parties Put Children at Grave Risk Al-Shabaab Rebels Impose Forced Marriages, use Students as 'Human Shields' (London, February 21, 2012) -- Somalia's warring parties have all failed to protect Somali children from the fighting or serving in their forces, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. The Islamist insurgent group al-Shabaab has increasingly targeted children for recruitment, forced marriage, and rape, and attacked teachers and schools, Human Rights Watch said. "For children in Somalia, nowhere is safe," said Zama Coursen-Neff, deputy children's rights director at Human Rights Watch. "Al-Shabaab rebels have abducted children from their homes and schools to fight, for rape, and for forced marriage." The 104-page report, "No Place for Children: Child Recruitment, Forced Marriage, and Attacks on Schools in Somalia," details unlawful recruitment and other laws-of-war violations against children by all parties to the conflict in Somalia since 2010. The report is based on over 164 interviews with Somali children, including 21 who had escaped from al-Shabaab forces, as well as parents and teachers who had fled to Kenya. Human Rights Watch called on all parties to the conflict, involving Somalia's Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and African Union forces (AMISOM) against al-Shabaab, to release any child soldiers in their ranks, protect children formerly associated with fighting forces, and protect schools, teachers, and <b>...</b>

Vaclav Havel an amazing human rights leader
Amnesty International's Steve Crawshaw pays tribute to the great human rights leader Vaclav Havel. "The world has lost an amazing human rights leader. Vaclav Havel embodied the spirit of thousands of brave human rights defenders, who challenge oppression and the denial of human dignity. He did so by combining humor and a steadfast determination to fight for fundamental rights no matter the cost to his personal well-being. The pressure he brought on his government while a prisoner of conscience and the spotlight he shone on repression helped bring human rights to millions of people. When he later led the government, he worked diligently to ensure that the rights of freedom of expression and opinion were respected and protected and that the people he governed would not, again, be imprisoned for exercising their basic human rights. We thank Havel, once again, for his courage and leadership as we bidq him farewell." More info: www.independent.co.uk

State of the World's Human Rights - Amnesty International Report 2011
Fifty years since the Amnesty candle began to shine a light on repression, the human rights revolution now stands on the threshold of historic change. People are rejecting fear. Courageous people, led largely by youth, are standing up and speaking out in the face of bullets, beatings, tear gas and tanks. This bravery -- combined with new technology that is helping activists to outflank and expose government suppression of free speech and peaceful protest -- is sending a signal to repressive governments that their days are numbered. But there is a serious fight-back from the forces of repression. The international community must seize the opportunity for change and ensure that 2011 is not a false dawn for human rights.
