The earliest civil rights demonstrations took place during the late 1860s and early 1870s, as African Americans forced an end to segregated public transport in cities such as Charleston, Richmond, New Orleans and Savannah. These early victories were negated by the rising tide of Jim Crow laws in the South, and civil rights efforts were repressed throughout the latter part of the 19th century, when accommodationist policies of Booker T. Washington held sway. A revival of civil rights activity was heralded by the emergence of the Niagara Movement and the rise of the NAACP during the first decade of the 20th century.

(MPR Photo/Marisa Helms) Archbishop Desmond Tutu says his native South Africa has made great strides since the end of apartheid. But he says his country still has many challenges to face including AIDS, poverty, and crime. He says the international community can play a role in making his country and the world, a more peaceful place. Tutu spoke in Minneapolis as part of the University of Minnesota's Great Conversations series. Tutu says the system of apartheid that oppressed black South Africans for generations still lives in the shadows as his country strives for education and equality for everyone.

How far, how deep will Nigeria's human rights commission go? Special to USAfricaonline.com and NigeriaCentral.com A Nigerian government-established body, the Human Rights Violations Investigation Commission, led by Justice Chukwudifu Oputa began public hearing on October 24, 2000. It has a schedule for five cities within five months. The Oputa Commission terms of reference mandate it to investigate human rights abuses in Nigeria which occured between January 15, 1966 (first military coup in the country) to May 28, 1999. The hearings should include assassinations, unjust arrests, the 1986 parcel bomb assassination of Newswatch magazine co-founder Dele Giwa, pogrom committed against the Igbos of south eastern Nigeria in the northern region of Nigeria in 1966, the assassination of late presidential claimant M.K.O Abiola's wife, Kudirat, the suspicious death of Alhaji Abiola himself, the 1995 execution of radical Ogoni rights activist Ken Saro-Wiwa, the jailing of the incumbent president, Olusegun Obasanjo by Abacha in 1995, the suspected murder of his former deputy Shehu Musa Yar'Adua and a number of other gross violations. An interesting twist occurred when Obasanjo, himself a former military dictator (February 1976 to October 1979) and signatory for a number of draconian laws in Nigeria responded to the concerns of some Nigerians regarding whether his own first tenure of head of state will receive adequate review without fear or favor (since he established the Oputa-led commission) said he should be treated like others.

Over 80 per cent of AIDS deaths occur in these countries. However, if the millennium development goals are to be met we need to do more than scale up HIV and AIDS specific programmes. The socio-economic impact of AIDS and the vulnerability of poor people in Africa to AIDS mean that we also need to target assistance at broader development programmes, including in the health and education sectors in the countries most at risk. United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights Lord Lester of Herne Hill asked Her Majesty's Government: Whether there is evidence, either in relation to the right of petition under the First Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights or under the legal systems of Contracting Parties to the Covenant, that a free-standing legal provision against discrimination could lead to an increase in the amount of litigation.[HL4066]

28. Human Rights - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia For civil and political rights, the answer is the state but it is not Human rights in international Relations. Cambridge Cambridge University Press. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights

Human rights From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Human rights refers to the concept of human beings as having universal rights , or status, regardless of legal jurisdiction , and likewise other localizing factors, such as ethnicity and nationality . For many, the concept of "human rights" is based in religious principles, or else is otherwise directly related to them. However, because a formal concept of human rights has not been universally accepted, the term has some degree of variance between its use in different local jurisdictions —difference in both meaningful substance as well as in protocols for and styles of application. Ultimately the most general meaning of the term is one which can only apply universally, and hence the term "human rights" is often itself an appeal to such transcendent principle, without basing such on existing legal concepts. The term " humanism " refers to the developing doctrine of such universally applicable values, and it is on the basic concept that human beings have innate rights, that more specific local legal concepts are often based. Within particular societies, "human rights" refers to standards of behavior as accepted within their respective legal systems regarding 1) the well being of individuals, 2) the freedom and autonomy of individuals, and 3) the representation of the human interest in government. These rights commonly include the

He was educated at West Virginia State University, Columbia University and Union Theological Seminary. Although Sullivan started as a minister at the age of 19, his actual quest for equal rights for all people would begin at the age of 10. He was told by a white man who was standing behind a Coca-Cola machine that he was not permitted to sit down at the lunch counter because of the color of his skin. "Black boy, stand on your feet. You can't sit down here," the man said. For the remainder of his life, Sullivan would indeed "stand up". He would stand up for justice, equal rights and equal employment opportunities for all citizens. He would also stand up for the impoverished, vulnerable and victimized people of the world.

SEARCH: Keywords Author Title More Options Power Search Search Hints E-MAIL NOTICES NEW IN PRINT E-BOOKS ... HOME PAGE Cold War Civil Rights: Race and the Image of American Democracy Mary L. Dudziak Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents Search within this book at Google Print In 1958, an African-American handyman named Jimmy Wilson was sentenced to die in Alabama for stealing two dollars. Shocking as this sentence was, it was overturned only after intense international attention and the interference of an embarrassed John Foster Dulles. Soon after the United States' segregated military defeated a racist regime in World War II, American racism was a major concern of U.S. allies, a chief Soviet propaganda theme, and an obstacle to American Cold War goals throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Each lynching harmed foreign relations, and "the Negro problem" became a central issue in every administration from Truman to Johnson. In what may be the best analysis of how international relations affected any domestic issue, Mary Dudziak interprets postwar civil rights as a Cold War feature. She argues that the Cold War helped facilitate key social reforms, including desegregation. Civil rights activists gained tremendous advantage as the government sought to polish its international image. But improving the nation's reputation did not always require real change. This focus on image rather than substancecombined with constraints on McCarthy-era political activism and the triumph of law-and-order rhetoriclimited the nature and extent of progress.

Mobilize to Build an African Civil Rights Movement Executive Intelligence Review, Jan. 16, 1998, pp. 30-34 Dennis Speed On Dec. 20, 1997, in New York City, Dr. Godfrey Lukongwa Binaisa, former President of Uganda, founded the African Civil Rights Movement (ACRM). Binaisa had issued a call for the Movement's formation in April 1995 (p. 32). The product of a three-year organizing drive, involving many international symposia, the New York meeting was attended by 75 people from Nigeria, Rwanda, Burundi, Sudan, South Africa, China, Uganda, Haiti, Spain, Lado, Congo, Tanzania, Canada, Cameroon, Botswana, the United States, and other nations. Binaisa's initiative reminded some of the participants of the "spirit of Bandung." They were referring to the initiative, concretized in a conference hosted by Indonesia's President Sukharno, of 29 nations of Africa and Asia, that were emerging from the dark night of British, Dutch, French, and Belgian colonialism, in April 1955. It was this initiative that created what was termed the "Third World." Binaisa, like South Africa's President Nelson Mandela, and the late Frederick Wills, former Foreign Minister of Guyana and a founding member of the Schiller Institute, were part of the "Nkrumah generation," that group of Africans who were the fathers of the independence movements of the 1950s and 1960s. Wills chaired a conference, at the request of Lyndon LaRouche, on Jan. 30-31, 1988, in Andover Massachusetts, entitled, "The New Name for Peace is Development." (See "44 Years After Bretton Woods: Building a New Monetary Order," EIR, Feb. 12,1988.)

IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 27, 2001 Mayors Express Sadness at Passing of International Civil Rights Crusader Leon Sullivan The Reverend Leon Sullivan, a pioneering civil rights crusader credited with helping end South Africa's system of apartheid, died April 25 at age 78, of leukemia according to his family. Conference Immediate Past President and Denver Mayor Wellington E. Webb remembered the Reverend Leon Sullivan as a man of peace, action and determination in his quest for equal rights for African Americans and in his battle against African apartheid. "Rev. Sullivan was an inspiration to so many of us who shared in the struggle for equal rights and we are both blessed to have known Rev. Sullivan," Mayor Webb and his wife, Mrs. Wilma J. Webb, said in a prepared statement. "His unwavering spirit to promote nonviolent social and economic change lasted throughout his life and made a tremendous impact both nationally and internationally. He will be greatly missed, but his amazing accomplishments throughout his life will endure and inspire for centuries to come." Mayor Webb attended the Fifth African-African American Summit convened by Rev. Sullivan in May 1999 in Ghana, West Africa, where the Mayor delivered a major policy address to the Summit delegates. Mayor Webb's address was the capstone in an historic U. S. Conference of Mayors' "Mayoral Mission to Africa" to Dakar, Senegal, and Accra, Ghana.
