47. International Covenant On Civil And Political Rights (1966) Selected articles of the Covenant on civil and Political rights that are relevantto the United Nations general Assembly Resolution 2200A XX1. http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/UN-covenant/

International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights CIRP Introduction The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 16 December 1966. The ICCPR was to take effect ten years later in all nations that had become state parties. A sufficient number of states had become parties so the ICCPR took effect as planned in 1976. The United States Senate ratified the ICCPR in June 1992. The Senate took exceptions to this treaty. Amongst those exceptions are the provision that the human rights recognized by this treaty shall not be enforcable in courts in the United States. Thus the United States Senate denied Americans the legal power to secure and enforce the human rights recognized by this international covenant. CIRP presents selected articles. The full unabridged text is available elsewhere on the World Wide Web. The ICCPR contains important articles which appear to protect the child from involuntary circumcision. Article 24 provides a right of every child to special protection. This is to be applied without regard to race, color, sex, religion, social orgin or birth. The right is universal and protects every child without exception. Article 9 provides a right of security of person. Article 7 provides a right to freedom from torture, and cruel or degrading treatment. Article 26 provides a right to the equal protection of the law for all persons. Read together it appears that a child would have a right to special protection of the security of his body, freedom from torture, and cruel and degrading treatment. The special protection of the law is to be applied universally for all persons. This would seem to mean that the child is entitled to protection from circumcision by law.

Democratic countries were too important to America in terms of international trade and natural resources. So American diplomats desperately sought sympathetic ears within the United Nations when they pushed themes concerning the "Merits of Democracy" and "Land of the Free." But whenever US diplomats made those hypocritical statements in the UN General Assembly, the Soviet Union countered in stark rebuttal by referring to pictures from Birmingham news events. With so many news reports and Black leaders calling out the racial crisis in America, even European leaders, to protect their foreign interests, began putting pressure on American diplomats. Each day America, or specifically, President John F Kennedy, allowed such "cuts-deep-because-its-true" criticism without taking action only played into the Soviet Union's hand to attract nations to Communism. JFK also had plenty of geo-political motivation from the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 , which amply demonstrated that third world countries can rapidly become staging grounds for the Cold War to escalate into a Hot War.

Times Color Graphics Analysis: Civil-rights case resurfaces By Les Kjos UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Miami, FL, Dec. 21 (UPI) The South is still trying to heal wounds opened by segregation and the civil-rights movement of the 1950s and '60s. The latest effort at closure focuses on solving the killings of three civil-rights workers in Neshoba County, Miss., in 1964, depicted in the 1988 movie "Mississippi Burning." Many of the villains in other cases have been convicted, or died, or both. Bobby Frank Cherry was the last of four suspects in the deaths of four black girls at a church in Birmingham, Ala., in 1963. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 2002 and died last month. Medgar Evers, a civil-rights leader, was shot at his home in Hinds County, Miss., also in 1963. In a third trial in 1994, 31 years after the slaying, Byron De La Beckwith was convicted and sentenced to life. De La Beckwith died unrepentant in prison in 2001. James Earl Ray died of liver failure in 1998 while serving a 99-year sentence for the slaying of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. 30 years earlier in Memphis. He was still trying to prove his innocence at the time of his death.

No Frames At the dawn of the 21st century, the death penalty is considered by most civilized nations as a cruel and inhuman punishment. It has been abolished de jure or de facto by 106 nations, 30 countries have abolished it since 1990. However, the death penalty continues to be commonly applied in other nations. China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the United States and Iran are the most prolific executioners in the world. Indeed, the US is one of six countries (including also Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen) which executes people who were under 18 years-old at the time they committed their crimes. While international documents have restricted and in some cases even banned the death penalty, its application is still not against customary international law. Much debate continues in the US as to whether it constitutes an appropriate punishment, at least to the most heinous crimes. In recent years, the debate has been further fueled by the use of new technologies which have shown that a large proportion of people sentenced to death are, indeed, innocent.

60. The International Covenant On Civil And Political Rights (Right To Return - Huma The international Covenant on civil and Political rights (16 December 1966) The Human rights Committee general Comment on Article 12 of the http://www.hrw.org/campaigns/israel/return/iccpr-rtr.htm

Relevant Background The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (16 December 1966) The right to return is most clearly enshrined in the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) under its provisions on the right to freedom of movement (Article 12). Freedom of movement has two main components: an internal aspect, relating to freedom of movement within a country (Article 12 (1)); and an external aspect comprising freedom of movement between States. The latter includes the right to leave one's country (Article 12 (2)), and the right to enter one's "own country" (Article 12 (4)). Article 12 of the ICCPR states: Everyone lawfully within the territory of a State shall, within that territory, have the right to liberty of movement and freedom to choose his residence. Everyone shall be free to leave any country, including his own. The above-mentioned rights shall not be subject to any restrictions except those which are provided by law, are necessary to protect national security, public order (ordre public), public health or morals or the rights and freedoms of others, and are consistent with the other rights recognized in the present Covenant. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of the right to enter his own country.
