Washington On February 25, the United States will release its annual human rights report on conditions in the year 2003 in 196 countries. The first report on human rights conditions in 1976 covered just 82 countries. Since then the reports have grown in depth as well as breadth. The U.S. commitment to human rights monitoring and reporting is rooted in the international human rights movement that grew rapidly in the years after World War II. The colossal loss of life in that war an estimated 50 million people fostered a determination to build a new world structure that would elevate fundamental rights and freedoms to a much more prominent position in world affairs and hold human rights violators responsible for their actions.

    Extractions: The Development of Human Rights Concepts "Human rights" can generally be defined as those rights that are inherent in our nature and without which we cannot live as human beings. The idea is essentially the product of 17th and 18th century European thought. Until the 17th century, establishing a framework for such rules as laws and codes emphasized duties and privileges that arose from people's status or relationships. In 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the UN, which is regarded as among the greatest 20th century statements on "natural" or human rights. Many nations have started to incorporate rights into their national constitutions. However, human rights activism remains largely tied to political and religious groups and beliefs. In the late 20th century, human rights issues varied, which included slavery, serfdom, brutal working condition, starvation wages, child labor, and racial discrimination. Many specific civil rights and human rights movements affected social changes, which included Mahatma Gandhi's movement to free his native India from British rule and the U.S. civil rights movement aimed at eliminating racial discrimination, in addition to Nelson Mandela's antiapartheid struggle in South Africa.

    Extractions: [*pg 461] WILLIAM A. SCHABAS I. INTRODUCTION II. RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE STATUTES AND THE RULES III. "GENERAL PRACTICE" IN SENTENCING ... FOOTNOTES The post-World War II trials established many important principles. Specifically, they defined crimes against humanity as part of customary law or of general principles of law, rendered unavailable certain defenses such as superior orders, and established notions of criminal participation through the principle of command responsibility. However, the international tribunals at Nuremberg and Tokyo, and the successor trials held by various national military tribunals in the aftermath of World War II, left few sentencing guidelines applicable to cases of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Despite contrary procedures before British military tribunals, the international and American military tribunals appeared to have no practice of holding distinct hearings to address matters concerning the sanction once guilt had been established. The tribunals occasionally appended a perfunctory final paragraph to their judgments reviewing "mitigating factors" in the rare cases where these were deemed to be present.

    Extractions: Data retention is no solution The European Digital Rights Initiative , a federation of European NGOs, has started an international campaign against the proposed retention of everyone's internet and phone logs. Data retention is currently being pushed forward by the UK, French and Swedish Governments despite having been rejected as incompatible with privacy and data protection rights by MEPs. GreenNet believes that blanket retention would inevitably be used to trace minor infringements and political activity, rather than being useful against a serious terrorist threat. The new petition calls on the European Commission to 'examine the proposal very critically in these difficult times'.

Over the past decade, trade agreements have come under increased scrutiny from the public. More and more people peasants, trade unionists, human rights activists, small businesses, environmentalists, farmers, students and others are expressing concern about how trade agreements are affecting their lives. For all the talk of the benefits of globalization and its presumed contribution to economic growth, the undeniable reality is that globally, and within most countries, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening, and hundreds of millions of people are denied the basic human rights provided for by the United Nations. The creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO), outside the auspices of the UN, has aggravated many of civil society's concerns.

    Extractions: @import "/c/ai.css"; search The death penalty is a violation of human rights. More than half the countries in the world have now abolished the death penalty in law or practice. The United Nations adopted without dissent the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ( UDHR . The Declaration proclaims the right of every individual to protection from deprivation of life. It states that no one shall be subjected to cruel or degrading punishment. The death penalty violates both of these fundamental rights. The UN adopted the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights ( ICCPR . Article 6 of the Covenant states that "no one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his life" and that the death penalty shall not be imposed on pregnant women or on those who were under the age of 18 at the time of the crime. Article 7 states that "no one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment." The UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) adopted "Safeguards Guaranteeing Protection of the Rights of Those Facing the Death Penalty."

    Extractions: KATMANDU, Nepal: When a firebrand student leader went to visit his friends in jail here last week, he found himself arrested by the police and locked up on a charge of sedition. When a political prisoner was freed on a court order in the town of Nepalganj in June, plainclothes police officers immediately plucked him from the courthouse steps and took him back into jail. And after two Nepalese journalists wrote last month about the army's deploying children as informers against suspected Maoist guerrillas, they were summoned to the army barracks for questioning. Such incidents are not only measures of life and law in a country squeezed between its all-powerful Hindu king and the nine-year-old Maoist insurgency he has failed to quell. They are also of importance to American lawmakers.
