Syria: Aerial Attacks Strike Civilians
UNICEF USATime is running out to protect a generation of children caught up in #Syria ’s brutal war. Without further funding, refugee children will face critical water shortages, lose health services, and fall further behind in their educations.
Donate to help UNICEF meet the urgent needs of these children. Believe in ZERO suffering children: http://uncf.us/ZV8Z8Z
Syria: Aerial Attacks Strike Civilians http://bit.ly/Z9RD5a
Watch „The Bombing of al-Bara,“ an immersive digital film about the aftermath of Syrian govt air strikes on civilians
http://www.pbs.org/foreign-affairs-defense/syria-behind-the-lines/the-bombing-of-al-bara/ …
(Aleppo) – The Syrian Air Force has repeatedly carried out indiscriminate, and in some cases deliberate, air strikes against civilians. These attacks are serious violations of international humanitarian law (the laws of war), and people who commit such violations with criminal intent are responsible for war crimes.
The 80-page report, “Death from the Skies: Deliberate and Indiscriminate Air Strikes on Civilians,” is based on visits to 50 sites of government air strikes in opposition-controlled areas in Aleppo, Idlib, and Latakia governorates, and more than 140 interviews with witnesses and victims. The air strikes Human Rights Watch documented killed at least 152 civilians. According to a network of local Syrian activists, air strikes have killed more than 4,300 civilians across Syria since July 2012.
The Arab League, United States, European Union, Arab States of the Persian Gulf, and other countries condemned the use of violence against the protesters. The Arab League suspended Syria’s membership because of the government’s response to the crisis, but granted the Syrian National Coalition Syria’s seat on 6 March 2013.[66] The Arab League also sent an observer mission in December 2011, as part of its proposal for peaceful resolution of the crisis. A further attempt to resolve the crisis was made through the appointment of Kofi Annan as a special envoy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_civil_war
On 15 July 2012, the International Committee of the Red Cross assessed the Syrian conflict as a „non-international armed conflict“ (the ICRC’s legal term for civil war), thus applying international humanitarian law under the Geneva Conventions to Syria.
U.N. Says It Is Running Out of Money to Assist Wave of Refugees From Syria

„The United Nations refugee agency says it has received about one-third of the $494 million it sought for Syrian refugees in the first half of the year. Unicef has received just a quarter of the $156 million it requested for the same period, which means that, by June, when temperatures are soaring, the agency will stop deliveries of 3.5 million liters of water to 100,000 refugees in Jordan, officials said.“ http://nyti.ms/10EaSSY

ARTICLE 19 (whose name is normally written in upper case letters) is a London-based human rights organization with a specific mandate and focus on the defense and promotion of freedom of expression and freedom of information worldwide founded in 1987.[1] The organization takes its name from Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states:
“ Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; the right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers.”

Corporations must be held accountable for human rights violations
ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/CorporationsMustBeHeldAccountableForHRViolations.aspx
The lawsuit, Kiobel v Royal Dutch Petroleum (Shell), was brought in 2002 by 12 Nigerians who allege that the company “aided and abetted” the human rights violations committed against them by the Nigerian Government in the Ogoni region of the Niger Delta. Shell, through a Nigerian subsidiary, was involved in oil exploration and production in the region between 1992 and 1995, at the time the abuses allegedly occurred.
This case is one of several brought against Shell in relation to the violent suppression of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni people, a group campaigning for the rights of local people and protesting against pollution caused by oil companies. Nine of the Movement’s members, including its leader, well-known writer Ken Saro-Wiwa, were hanged in 1995 after being convicted of murder by a military tribunal. The executions of the ‘Ogoni nine’, as they are known globally, were condemned by governments and human rights activists around the world.
Since the Second World War and the Nuremberg war crimes trials, international law has held that human rights abuses can be prosecuted around the globe. A motion to have the original case dismissed on the grounds that it could more conveniently be heard in England was overturned, with the Court of Appeals ruling the United States was a proper forum because the defendants had an office in New York.

OIC calls for end to anti-Muslim campaign
Tuesday, 02 April 2013 14:42 Mizzima News
The Secretary-General of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, has called on the Myanmar government to put an end to the campaigns of hatred being waged against Muslims in the country.

Speaking at OIC headquarters in the Saudi Arabian port of Jeddah on Saturday, March 30, Prof. Ihsanoglu also addressed a message to Muslims in Myanmar, telling them the OIC “would champion their cause”, and stressing that the Organisation and its member states will follow up the issue and stand ready to take all necessary measures to address it.
A meeting of the OIC’s Contact group was called in response to the communal violence that erupted in central Myanmar following an otherwise innocuous incident at a gold shop in Meiktila on March 20.
“These acts of violence have killed scores of Muslims, burned their homes, and left hundreds of them homeless, in addition to the burning of mosques and schools,” the IOC Secretary-General said.
A Times of India report said that the IOC will reconvene to discuss the issue of Myanmar on April 14.
With 57 member states, the IOC is the second largest inter-governmental organization in the world after the United Nations.
In October, the Myanmar government rejected plans by the OIC to open an office in Myanmar after Buddhist monks led protests against the bloc’s involvement.
