Alternative Information Center (AIC) (Israeli-Palestinian Human Rights Groups) aicmail@trendline.co.il http://www.ariga.com American Kurdish Information Network akin@kurdish.org http://www.kurdistan.org The American Kurdish Information Network (AKIN) is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization established in 1993 to serve the information needs of this country relative to the Kurds. It does this to fulfill two needs: ours, to hold a mirror to the events that are taking place in the Kurdish regions of Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria and those of the American public, to enable them to have access to collected materials on the subject. AKIN hopes to function as a bridge over which friendships and knowledge are exchanged to the benefit of both peoples. Its aim is to increase awareness about the Kurds. AKIN is comprised of Americans of Kurdish origin and recent Kurdish immigrants and refugees from all walks of life: entrepreneurs, blue- and white-collar workers, students, and American supporters. AKIN collects, translates, and disseminates information about the Kurds. It hopes to become a valuable resource center for policy makers, scholars, and students of the region. At the same time, it seeks to promote understanding between the Kurds and the Americans. In Kurdistan, AKIN wants the killings to stop, peace to prevail, and the will of the people to be respected and accepted. The Arab Organization for Human Rights

Viking Multiculturalism The Asatru Folk Assembly , which invoked Odin in a ceremony conducted over the 'Kennewick Man' skeleton, makes much play of its belief in the rights of indigenous peoples. Parts of its Web presentation read like the kind of multiculturalist rhetoric that circulates in American universities today; others like the kind of Romantic racist mumbo-jumbo you might imagine German students lapping up in the 1930s. There's no contradiction here. Multiculturalism, or at least those tendencies in it that emphasise the obstacles differences are said to place between groups, is the successor to Romanticism. Asatru may not have been quite what Charles Murray and Richard Herrnstein had in mind when they coined the term "conservative multiculturalism" , but it fits their bill. The AFA have simply taken to an extreme the misconception that the Kennewick specimen is 'Caucasoid' and therefore of European descent. From what we know of the skeleton, it seems to resemble the handful of other American specimens of similar age, in having a collection of features that does not correspond to any modern population. The nearest living group may be the Ainu, who lived in Japan before the ancestors of modern ethnic Japanese arrived. If studied, Kennewick might undermine misconceptions about race; instead, the controversy is reinforcing them. Archaeology 50(1) January/February 1997 Race Debate Debacle The debate on 'Race, Intelligence and Censorship', which was to have taken place at Edinburgh's Cyberia Cafe on Thursday 22 August 1996, was cancelled at the last minute by the cafe proprietor. This followed threats of violence by the Anti-Nazi League, who objected to the fact that the 'scientific racist' psychology lecturer Chris Brand was to have taken part, and advice from the police that they could not guarantee to maintain order.

Amnesty International, 25. juli 2001 Racism and the Administration of Justice ACT 40/028/2001 - 124/01 The experiences of millions of people worldwide testify to a simple fact racism undermines all human rights. Justice systems all too often perpetuate racism by mirroring the prejudices of their society. Ahead of the 2001 third UN World Conference against Racism (WCAR), to be held in Durban, South Africa, Amnesty International is urging governments to ensure that the administration of justice in their particular countries is free from prejudice, discrimination and racial bias. The following briefing summarizes Amnesty International's report, Racism and the Administration of Justice, and the organization's concerns regarding the current disputes among states within the context of the WCAR. What is racism? Racism is a blatant attack on the very notion of basic human rights that human rights belong to all people, equally. It infects, to varying degrees and in various forms, every country in the world. The prohibition of racial discrimination constitutes a general principle of international law, included in all fundamental human rights standards. The UN International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD), adopted in 1965 and ratified by 157 countries, outlines substantive rights and a series of steps for the elimination of racial discrimination in all its forms.

NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS CALL FOR URGENT ACTION BY STATES TO COMBAT DISCRIMINATION Durban, South Africa RD/D/41 6 September 2001 As the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance neared the end of its deliberation, a number of international human rights organizations and national rights groups maintained that governments were failing in their responsibility to deal with the human rights crises that generated so much anger and frustration in civil society. Echoing the sentiments of many speakers, the representative of Human Rights Watch urged governments to drop their denial and equivocation and turn wholeheartedly to remedying racism and all forms of intolerance. Hope, rhetoric and apology were not enough. "There is no substitute for action", she said. The Conference must be about the experience of victims, justice, government accountability and follow-up. The representative of Amnesty International said what had emerged from the ranks of civil society was essentially a cry for help. Governments had a critical duty to listen and to act with a renewed sense of urgency. He urged governments to recognize the abuses of the past, including those related to past forms of slavery and colonialism. "In speaking, he said that Amnesty International disassociated itself from parts of the document adopted by the NGO Forum which reflect extreme views.

The Magazine Of The ILO: WORLD OF WORK No. 46 - News - Department Of Communicati The ILO indigenous and Tribal peoples Convention, 1989 (No. This raises theissue of improving the access of romani children to good quality education http://www.ilo.org/public/english/bureau/inf/magazine/46/news.htm

Communication Archived articles WORLD OF WORK No. 46, March 2003 News Battlefields, hot spots and danger zones Women break the glass ceiling to break the news Women in the world's newsrooms are no longer a rarity. Except on the war front. Though women today make up 40 per cent of the world's media, they face special and unique challenges when they head from the front pages to the front line. This year's International Women's Day event at the ILO focused on how women who cover dangerous stories often find social issues there too. Kate Adie, award-winning reporter and writer, has seen more wars than most generals as BBC Chief News Correspondent. "War is not a boy's game," she says. "Half of the people involved are women." Ms. Adie was part of a panel discussion on "Dangerous Assignments: Women covering conflict", held at the ILO in March to focus on the obstacles and dangers they face in the exercise of their profession, and the special vision which they bring to it. For women, covering dangerous stories is more than just a job - it is part of the "gender evolution" in journalism. During the Bosnian war, Ms. Adie says, many women journalists literally fought to get there because it was the assignment to have. Never mind gender balance, she says. If you're a woman who wants to cover war, "You have to run while men can walk..." Panel members agreed, however, that women bring more to danger zones than a keen desire to prove themselves. They have a different way of perceiving war, and while maintaining a sharp professional eye also see how societies cope with conflict and reconstruction.
