AGREED +++

Thank you.

we hope get human rights in Yemen also

Everything starts with a grain of sand, a drop of water produces ripples that can move an ocean..what its wrong it is to seed negativity towards somebody (Obama) that its trying to twist all the wrong doings from everybody else..

Never forget the communist-ruling China is the real and larger long-term threat to U.S. interests now and in the future! Pay more attention to this enemy! Everyone and every country is and will be suffering from the CCP regime in different ways! All free states should pressure on China, Burma, and N. Korea at the same time. These three dictatorships are together!

Communist China thinks Obama administration is the weakest one and thus is their best friend in decades! Obama, Hillary and Gates should support those organizations and persons who consolidate democracy, freedom, human rights in Taiwan and those promote these values in Hong Kong, Macau, Tibet, Uyghur regions, China, Burma, and N. Korea!

yes of course. Is there a pb with some neurone connections? I mean this is stupid, really, in all ways.

The proposed bill is like using a blunt spear in an operating theatre instead of a surgeon's knife. There are much more effective, progressive routes the Ugandan goverment could take than what they've proposed. Unlike the situation in Afghanistan re: women's rights; hopefully governments and NGOs can unite and bring about some desperately much needed change here. Peoples lives depend on it.

Finally a Judge with guts....

OK

It seems to me that HRW has been shedding a lot of light on the failures of the health-care system in India lately. I'm so glad that they are keeping me informed on this; because hitherto, I had no knowledge at all about India's health-care situation. This article and the one from last week on the dearth of palliative care for Indian patients who are experiencing severe, chronic pain were so poignant! Thank you, HRW! Keep up all your fine work!

As an adoptee from India, I've been aware of it my whole life. I agree it's terrific that HRW is making the global community aware of the atrocities that exist in the health system there.

When will people and political elites care about the women of Congo and seriously ask Kabila to prosecute the warlords responsible for making sexual violence a weapon every soldat should use?

Le dore i agree...
Congolese are entitled to respectable and safe living as per their wishes

FACTUAL ERRORS?
the Goldstone report is full of ISRAELI MILITARY FIGURES quotes: they have outlined or advocated a military policy described by the Mission as one of “massive and deliberate destruction”, ever since the last war on Lebanon. The Israeli government declared that it was legitimate to target the “supporting infrastructure” of Hamas. As the Mission notes, the severity of the blockade from 2007 showed that “Israel had already determined its view about what constitutes attacking the supporting infrastructure, and it appears to encompass effectively the population of Gaza.”
But of course, this strategy has nothing to do with terror: )

Moreover, Judge Goldstone is, to put it mildly, one of the most eminent international lawyers in the world — a judge for nine years on the Constitutional Court of South Africa; the first Chief Prosecutor of the ad hoc Tribunals; a member of the international panel appointed by Argentina to investigate Nazi activity in the country since 1938; the chairperson of the international inquiry into Kosovo; and so on. He is also Jewish and a trustee of Hebrew University in Israel. So it is difficult to plausibly maintain that he is biased against Israel — particularly given that one of his first acts after being appointed by the HRC to investigate Operation Cast Lead was to publicly announce that he would not abide by HRC Res. S-9/1’s indefensible request to limit the fact-finding mission to Israel’s war crimes, but would investigate Hamas’s war crimes, as well.... See More

Unfortunately, that hasn’t stopped the Israeli government and many US senators from attacking the Goldstone Commission.

And I hasten to point out that despite the idiocy on the American anti-ICC right, not one of the hysterical claims about the court have come true.
