Letter to Government and Corp. Media About Haiti
Though often futile, speaking truth to power can be therapeutic. Here's a copy of a letter I sent out to about 200 corporate lackeys regarding the crisis in Haiti. Some of the main addresses are at the bottom of the letter, for ease of clipping and pasting, if one is so inclined as to send their own letter...
February 17, 2004 To the Government of Canada and Canada’s corporate-owned media, I am writing to you concerning the escalating crisis that is unfolding in Haiti, where the world is witnessing the attempted violent overthrow of a democratically elected leader, Jean Bertrand Aristide. By tacitly supporting an opposition that has repeatedly refused to negotiate peacefully with President Aristide, the Canadian government is effectively supporting this attempted coup d’etat. From a rational perspective this is unacceptable for several reasons, explored below. It is also unacceptable that the corporate news agencies are refusing to provide objective coverage of these harmful events, and are thereby also effectively supporting the attempted coup d’etat. On January 13, 2004, speaking from Monterrey, Mexico at the Special Summit of the Americas, Paul Martin committed to help mediate a solution to the crisis in Haiti, which has since seen at least 60 people brutally murdered, and promises to soon see more in the absence of concrete efforts toward this professed end by Paul Martin’s government.

The Humanitarian Times April 2, 1999 LAST AID AGENCIES LEAVE KOSOVO - DIRECT OBSERVATION REDUCED: - INTERNALLY DISPLACED IN KOSOVO ESTIMATES: 200,000 to 500,000. Kosovo’s capital Pristina is referred to now as a ghost town. Aid agencies have no access inside Kosovo, to provide protection or food aid. The Intl. Crisis Group reports "Some 20,000-30,000 Kosovars are trapped in the Drenica area, moving from one place to another to avoid reprisals by Yugoslav/Serbian security forces & irregulars. Another 30,000 Kosovars are said to be on the run in the Pec region in W. Kosovo, making their way north. Serbian & Yugoslav security forces reportedly separated men from women & children - there is a real risk these men are no longer alive." Albania’s President Rexhep Meidani, asked for NATO ground troops enter Kosovo to stop the killing. - SHELTER WILL BE THE PRIME NEED OF PROJECTED 500,000 REFUGEES - MILITARY REGIME IN BURMA DENIES OPPORTUNITY FOR FINAL FAREWELL : Oxford Prof. Michael Aris, husband to Burma’s democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi, died of cancer on Saturday having been repeatedly denied a visa into Burma by its military rulers. He had not seen his wife, who has been intermittently under house arrest in Burma, since 1996. Last week UN Special Rapporteur Rajsoomer Lallah delivered his report on Burma to the U.N. Human Rights Commission, concluding that the situation of human rights in Burma "is worsening and the repression of civil and political rights continues unabated."

Human Rights Quarterly - Volume 19, Number 3, August 1997, pp. 510-546
The Johns Hopkins University Press

Excerpt
I. Introduction: The Birth of a Big Surprise
If human rights regimes confirmed the dictum of the Modernist Movement in architecture"Form follows Function"then, anatomically speaking, the Inter-American one should resemble the European about as much as the unicorn resembles the ox. By associating the European regime with an ox, I intend not to insult but rather to celebrate its solid bourgeois virtues: the stolid, efficient application of energy and the consequently consistent production of effective decisions, all within the context of an orderly, stable, and prosperous community. The post-war West European setting did not invite, nor did it require, unpredictable improvisation or heroic challenges to the expectations and desires of governing elites. Latin America, by comparison, has been a feral jungle for most of the Inter-American regime's remarkable life. And although today most of the beasts have withdrawn to their lairs (when they are not off exercising their human right to visit Miami and shop at Gucci) passersby still see eyes gleaming angrily in the shadows and hear the tense scrape of claws across stony floors.

Check when each article was last updated as much material is no longer current. This material is provided as a source for historic research. Jump directly to these subsections: Freedom House Acronym/Code: FREEHOUS Updated: 3/90 Categories: Political Background: Freedom House was founded in 1941 and now claims 4000 members. It was organized "to strengthen free institutions at home and abroad." Freedom House also serves as a clearinghouse and research and document center on issues concerning civil liberties and political rights. (2) Its publications discuss the state of "freedom" in countries across the world, but the bulk of its studies and projects seem to concern political environments in Marxist regimes. In 1987, for example, 10 of the 16 conferences organized by Freedom House focused on the Eastern bloc and the Soviet Union. Two more targeted Nicaragua. (16) Freedom House conducts a variety of projects, primarily aimed at measuring or promoting political rights and civil liberties in countries around the world. (38,19) The definition of political rights used for the group's annual worldwide Comparative Survey of Freedom revolves arounds an individual's rights to "participate meaningfully in the political process." It is primarily an electoral definition of political rights and includes such criteria as the holding of regular elections, the presence and number of opposition parties, size of the opposition vote, regular and/or recent transfers of power, fairness and openness of the campaign environment, and so on. Other political issues which are considered include the amount of military influence on government and the degree of foreign involvement, each of whichaccording to Raymond Gastilare measured conservatively.

PRESS RELEASE on June 1 Emergency National Anti-War Conference June 2, 2002 600 ANTI-WAR ACTIVISTS ATTEND JUNE 1 EMERGENCY NATIONAL ANTI-WAR CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK CITY Over 600 activists with International A.N.S.W.E.R. met yesterday in New York City and announced plans for a mass June 29 demonstration at the FBI's Washington D.C. headquarters to protest John Ashcroft's domestic espionage program that targets political organizations, mosques and community groups. A special section on the conference's Opening Plenary entitled "Emergency action plan to fight back against the FBI and Ashcroft" featured Mara Verheyden-Hilliard and Carl Messineo, attorneys and co-founders of the Partnership for Civil Justice. "Today we have launched a national fightback movement to stop John Ashcroft and the FBI from bringing back the very worst features from J. Edgar Hoover's reign over domestic intelligence," stated Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, also a member of the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition steering committee. "Ashcroft's changes have been presented as an innocuous update of FBI procedures," said Verheyden-Hilliard. "This has become the preferred method of presentation by Ashcroft as the Justice Department shreds the First Amendment and the Bill of Rights.

Reference Center for Marxist Studies The Reference Center has an extensive collection of English-language pamphlets in a broad array of subject areas of interest to researchers and activists involved in Marxist studies. They cover material from the turn of the century up until today. The collection consists of 32 vertical-file cabinet drawers of subject-classified folders, 42 single-subject file boxes, and over 150 bound volumes of collected pamphlets, assembled by author, subject, publisher, or provenance. We are currently creating a database with bibliographic information on every pamphlet in our subject-classified vertical-files, which constitute the main part of the collection. In order to give our prospective patrons some idea of the coverage of our pamphlet collection we are providing you below with the entire alphabetical list of subject headings for the file cabinets of pamphlets.

U.N. Human Rights Experts Voice Concern About Situation in Haiti By Eric Green
Washington File Staff Writer
Washington Two human rights experts from the United Nations have joined the United States and the Organization of American States in condemning recent violence in Haiti that has left a number of people in that Caribbean country dead or injured. In a January 22 statement, the U.N. officials expressed their strong concern about the human rights situation in Haiti, especially since the occurrence in recent months of violent confrontations between militias supporting and opposing the Haitian government, and of clashes between those opposed to the government and members of the Haitian police.
