FEMALE PRISONERS CONDUCT HUNGER STRIKE IN ADREA MAIN PRISON

Click here to read the release
The Syrian Regime continues to ignore international human rights standards and violate international humanitarian law. In addition, the Syrian authorities continue the cruel arbitrary detention of innocent civilians, leading to overcrowding and very poor conditions. Such conditions don’t take into account the most basic human rights. As a result, a number of female prisoners, all detained at the filing section in Adra Central Prison in the Capital Damascus, decided to begin a hunger strike on Monday July 1, 2013 as a form of protest for being detained for such a long time in the worst condition, without ever appearing before any judicial body.
The female prisoners are between the ages of 19 and 60 years old. Among them are those with cancer and chronic diseases and others who are pregnant.
The female prisoners sent a letter to the Head Prosecutor of the Terrorism Court seeking consideration of their situation and requesting expedition of their appearance before competent courts
The Damascus Center for Human Rights Studies declares full solidarity with the female prisoners conducting the hunger strike in Adra Prison. DCHRS holds the Syrian Government and the prison staff responsible for the safety of the prisoners. DCHRS requests that the public prosecutor of terrorism listen to the demands of the prisoners. DCHRS demands that human rights organizations be granted access to the prison in order to check on the conditions of all prisoners, particularly these hunger strikers.

The United Nations Security Council is the ostensible source for recognizing the conditions for the responsibility to protect. Yet the Security Council repeatedly fails to respond, in part because of the well-understood dynamic between the P3 on the one side and Russia and China on the other. An ineffective Security Council means, unsurprisingly, that any responsibility to protect will depend on strong states to preserve human security.

Why should we support Russia’s membership in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)—since Moscow has already joined the #WTO—but exempt #Russia from #US efforts to “defend and promote” values? Why would we want to let it join another rules-based organization—and then defy its rules? It already does this in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the Council of Europe and ignores its commitments under the Universal Declaration of #HumanRights; it is even raising concerns in the WTO. Let’s think twice before welcoming Russia into more organizations where it can undermine their integrity.

UN condemns ‘slaughterhouse’ executions
GENEVA: The UN’s top human rights officials is condemning Iraq’s widespread use of the death penalty, comparing it to a slaughterhouse.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay says Iraq’s justice system is “too seriously flawed to warrant even a limited application of the death penalty,” let alone its execution of 33 people in the past month or its plans to put another 150 people to death.
Pillay said in a statement on Friday on that “executing people in batches like this is obscene. It is like processing animals in a slaughterhouse.”

In 2013 Russia will host the 2013 G20 summit, the Organization’s leaders decided at the Cannes summit. According to Russia’s Deputy Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, the countries have adopted Action plan for Growth and Jobs and Russia has also undertaken obligations in line with the document, namely to reduce inflation, unemployment and to keep the exchange rate of the ruble within fixed boundaries.
The G20 nations must act now to challenge this injustice by agreeing on measures to stop tax haven secrecy. Call on the G20 leaders to put tax haven secrecy on the agenda.

UN Human Rights Council: “Traditional values” subverting the international human rights framework
@curlyP @GeorgeKCharonis Look at ARTICLE 19’s recent statement following discussions at EP on this:
UN Human Rights Council: “Traditional values” subverting the international human rights framework
ARTICLE 19 raised with the European Parliament its concerns at efforts made by Russia at the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) to call for recognition of “traditional values” as a vehicle for the promotion of human rights. Russia has successfully tabled three resolutions at the HRC since 2009, most recently in October 2012. We consider this to be part of a broad agenda by Russia to subvert the international human rights system, and to distract the HRC from its mandate of protecting and promoting human rights.
The resolutions tabled by Russia fail to advance a definition for “traditional values”, which is a vague concept alien to the human rights framework. Rather than support the promotion or protection of human rights, concepts such as “traditional values” have often been invoked to justify abuses against the rights of vulnerable minorities including LGBT people. These resolutions fail to acknowledge this fact, exposing the insidious agenda behind their attempts to seek recognition for the concept in the international human rights framework.
ARTICLE 19 believes that the rights contained within the Universal Declaration of Human Rights represent a coherent and universally agreed-upon framework for protecting the rights of all human beings. Traditions contrary to these standards must be modified or, if necessary, eliminated.
It is clear that Russia will not confine its “traditional values” agenda to the UN at Geneva or in New York. It is therefore important that the EU is aware of this attempt by Russia to qualify its human rights commitments in a vague manner and that the EU stands in firm opposition to this. The EU must act decisively and robustly to ensure that the negative trends are reversed.
At the same time, the EU and its member states must robustly support initiatives to promote equality on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity on the international stage. The EU should firmly encourage the HRC to follow up its landmark resolution 17/19 of 2011 on human rights, sexual orientation and gender identity. This led to a ground breaking OHCHR report on the issue. Given the developments highlighted above, it is clear that keeping the rights of LGBT people on the international agenda is as important now as ever before.
