This book was released on 2021-04-17 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study addresses blatant violations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in Russia. This includes police violence and the murder of lawyers, activists and government critics - who have been harassed, imprisoned and even killed in Russia. These include numerous Putin critics who have ended up dead - such as Anna Politkovskaya, Stanislav Markelov, Boris Nemtsov, Natalia Estemirova, Sergei Yushenkov, Alexander Litvinenko, Boris Berezovsky, Mikhail Lesin and many more. Soul survivor of these cowardly killings is Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. After surviving an FSB assassination attempt in 2020, Navalny was sentenced for over two years in jail. The aim of this unjust and inhuman imprisonment is to break Alexei Navalny - Russia's penal colony system being a blunt instrument used by the Kremlin to break the spirit of political opponents, marginalize critics and to remove them from the playing field - a testament of injustice, lawlessness and tyranny by the Putin government. In a historic joint statement delivered to the UN Human Rights Council, 45 countries voiced alarm at the deteriorating situation of human rights and fundamental freedoms in Russia - manifested in particular by the unlawful detention, arrest and imprisonment of Alexei Navalny. The UN called for the immediate and unconditional release of Navalny and all others unlawfully or arbitrarily detained in Russia - so that fundamental freedoms can be restored in Russia. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) also requested the immediate release of Alexei Navalny, which Russian authorities ought to comply with, as Russia is a member of the Council of Europe rights body. Also, Navalny's personal doctor Anastasia Vasilyeva and three more doctors, including a cardiologist, warned that Alexei Navalny risks cardiac arrest "any minute" as his health has rapidly deteriorated. They said he had to be examined immediately "taking into account the blood tests and his recent poisoning". More than 70 prominent international writers, artists and academics, including Jude Law, Vanessa Redgrave and Benedict Cumberbatch, have called on President Putin to ensure that Navalny receives proper treatment immediately. Therefore it is in President Vladimir Putin's best interest to release Alexei Navalny, and all others unlawfully or arbitrarily detained in Russia - and allow Alexei Navalny to run for election, so that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) can be manifested in Russia.

Book excerpt: About 100 CIA officers and family members are among about 200 US officials and kin sickened by "Havana syndrome", the CIA director, William Burns said, referring to the mysterious set of ailments that include migraines and dizziness. Burns, tapped by Joe Biden as the first career diplomat to serve as CIA chief, said in a National Public Radio interview that he had bolstered his agency's efforts to determine the cause of the syndrome and what is responsible. He confirmed that among other steps, he had tapped a senior officer who once led the hunt for Osama bin Laden to head a taskforce investigating the syndrome, and said he had tripled the size of the medical team involved in the investigation. The agency also had shortened from eight weeks to two weeks the time that CIA-affiliated people must wait for admission to Walter Reed national military medical center, he said. "It's a profound obligation, I think, of any leader to take care of your people and that is what I am determined to do," Burns told NPR in his first interview since becoming CIA director in March. Havana syndrome, with symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, migraines and memory lapses, is so named because it first was reported by US officials based in the US embassy in Cuba in 2016. Burns noted that a US National Academy of Sciences panel in December found that a plausible theory was that "directed energy" beams caused the syndrome. There was a "very strong possibility" that the syndrome was intentionally caused, and that Russia could be responsible, he said, adding that he was withholding definitive conclusions pending further investigation. Moscow denies involvement. So should the Russian government - or any other government or intelligence agency - have truthful information regarding Havana syndrome, they ought to share it with the International Community, so that afflicted US officials and their kin, as well as other people in the world afflicted by Havana syndrome, can be cured and healed. So even if Moscow - and rogue factions within Russian Intelligence - are not involved in any way, perhaps President Putin and Russian medical experts can be of assistance by providing truthful information concerning Havana Syndrome. In short, Russia's assistance to heal people afflicted with Havana syndrome would be much appreciated: )

Download or read book The Last Utopia written by Samuel Moyn and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-05 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human rights offer a vision of international justice that today’s idealistic millions hold dear. Yet the very concept on which the movement is based became familiar only a few decades ago when it profoundly reshaped our hopes for an improved humanity. In this pioneering book, Samuel Moyn elevates that extraordinary transformation to center stage and asks what it reveals about the ideal’s troubled present and uncertain future. For some, human rights stretch back to the dawn of Western civilization, the age of the American and French Revolutions, or the post–World War II moment when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was framed. Revisiting these episodes in a dramatic tour of humanity’s moral history, The Last Utopia shows that it was in the decade after 1968 that human rights began to make sense to broad communities of people as the proper cause of justice. Across eastern and western Europe, as well as throughout the United States and Latin America, human rights crystallized in a few short years as social activism and political rhetoric moved it from the hallways of the United Nations to the global forefront. It was on the ruins of earlier political utopias, Moyn argues, that human rights achieved contemporary prominence. The morality of individual rights substituted for the soiled political dreams of revolutionary communism and nationalism as international law became an alternative to popular struggle and bloody violence. But as the ideal of human rights enters into rival political agendas, it requires more vigilance and scrutiny than when it became the watchword of our hopes.

Download or read book The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child written by Ton Liefaard and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 964 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014 the world’s most widely ratified human rights treaty, one specifically for children, reached the milestone of its twenty-fifth anniversary. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and in the time since then it has entered a new century, reshaping laws, policies, institutions and practices across the globe, along with fundamental conceptions of who children are, their rights and entitlements, and society’s duties and obligations to them. Yet despite its rapid entry into force worldwide, there are concerns that the Convention remains a high-level paper treaty without the traction on the ground needed to address ever-continuing violations of children’s rights. This book, based on papers from the conference ‘25 Years CRC’ held by the Department of Child Law at Leiden University, draws together a rich collection of research and insight by academics, practitioners, NGOs and other specialists to reflect on the lessons of the past 25 years, take stock of how international rights find their way into children’s lives at the local level, and explore the frontiers of children’s rights for the 25 years ahead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human Rights And Comparative Foreign Policy Is The First Book In English To Examine The Place Of Human Rights In The Foreign Policies Of A Wide Range Of States During Contemporary Times. The Book Is Also Unique In Utilizing A Common Framework Of Analysis For All 10 Of The Country Or Regional Studies Covered. This Framework Treats Foreign Policy As The Result Of A Two -Level Game In Which Both Domestic And Foreign Factors Have To Be Considered. Leading Experts From Around The World Analyze Both Liberal Democratic And Other Foreign Policies On Human Rights. A General Introduction And A Systematic Conclusion Add To The Coherence Of The Project. The Authors Note The Increasing Attention Given To Human Rights Issues In Contemporary Foreign Policy. At The Same Time, They Argue That Most States, Including Liberal Democratic States That Identify With Human Rights, Are Reluctant Most Of The Time To Elevate Human Rights Concerns To A Level Equal To That Of Traditional Security And Economic Concerns. When States Do Seek To Integrate Human Rights With These And Other Concerns, The Result Is Usually Great Inconsistency In Patterns Of Foreign Policy. The Book Further Argues That Different States Bring Different Emphases To Their Human Rights Diplomacy, Because Of Such Factors As National Political Culture And Perceived National Interests. In The Last Analysis States Can Be Compared Along Two Dimensions Pertaining To Human Rights: Extent To Which They Are Oriented Toward An International Rather Than National Conception Of Rights; And Extent To Which They Are Oriented Toward International Rather Than National Action To Protect Human Rights.

This book was released on 2010-08-03 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Book for 1999 Born of a shared revulsion against the horrors of the Holocaust, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has become the single most important statement of international ethics. It was inspired by and reflects the full scope of President Franklin Roosevelt's famous four freedoms: "the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want, and the freedom from fear." Written by a UN commission led by Eleanor Roosevelt and adopted in 1948, the Declaration has become the moral backbone of more than two hundred human rights instruments that are now a part of our world. The result of a truly international negotiating process, the document has been a source of hope and inspiration to thousands of groups and millions of oppressed individuals.
