UNHRC: States Must #RejectTraditionalValues
Human Rights Council: States Must Reject ‘Traditional Values’
ARTICLE 19 calls on the member states of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) to reject absolutely the concept of ‘traditional values’, and state their opposition to any future resolution to advance this agenda. This call comes ahead of the debate on the report on ’traditional values’ by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) that will be presented at the 24th session of the HRC.

#COISyria: Urgent need for cessation of hostilities & return to negotiations: http://sm.ohchr.org/1b4Knyx UPDATED report via @UN_HRC

[JURIST] UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay [official profile] on Monday urged the international community [statement] to help facilitate negotiations between warring parties in Syria. Although Pillay criticized global leaders for not acting sooner to stop the violent conflict in Syria, she warned that a military response would not be effective. Pillay observed that any course of action in Syria by the international community would be challenging, but that negotiation would be the best method for ending the conflict:
This appalling situation cries out for international action, yet a military response or the continued supply of arms risk igniting a regional conflagration, possibly resulting in many more deaths and even more widespread misery. There are no easy exits, no obvious pathway out of this nightmare, except the immediate negotiation of concrete steps to end the conflict. States, together with the United Nations, must find a way to bring the warring parties to the negotiating table and halt the bloodshed.
In her speech, Pillay also drew attention to human rights concerns in nations such as Iraq, Egypt, Bahrain and Turkey.
The Syrian Civil War [JURIST backgrounder] has been ongoing since 2011 when opposition groups first began protesting the regime of Bashar al-Assad, and the increasingly bloody nature of the conflict has put pressure on the international community to intervene. Earlier this week JURIST guest columnist Curtis Doebbler argued [JURIST op-ed] that the use of military force against Syria would constitute a violation of international law. Last week the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee [official website] approved a joint resolution [JURIST report] authorizing the limited use of force against Syria. Also last week UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon questioned the legality [JURIST report] of the US plan to strike Syria.

Bahraini NGOs Express Gratitude to the OHCHR, and Signatories to the Joint Statement on Bahrain, and Encourage Further Action
#Bahrain: United Nations Human Rights office concerned about the recommendations made by the National Assembly which discussed toughening punishments under the 2006 Law on the Protection of Society from Acts of Terrorism. These recommendations include increasing detention period or revoking citizenship of anyone found guilty of committing or inciting an act of #terrorism. They also provide for banning sit-ins, rallies and gatherings in the capital Manama.
We remind the authorities that any measure should respect international #HumanRights standards. More: http://sm.ohchr.org/11JADo2

Viele Menschen mit syrischer Familie rufen bei uns an und wollen wissen, wie sie ihre Verwandten nach Österreich holen können.
Auch wir wissen noch nichts genaues. Es scheint so zu sein, dass der Großteil der 500 Menschen aus den Flüchtlingslagern im Libanon geholt werden soll. In erster Linie wohl Menschen, die besonders gefährdet oder krank sind.
Solche Evakuierten sollen dann „Asyl von Amts wegen“ bekommen, wer Verwandte hier hat, soll das normale Asylverfahren durchlaufen (das momentan jedenfalls mindestens zu subsidiären Schutz führt).
Wichtig ist, dass man bei UNHCR registriert ist – und dabi jedenfalls auf die Verwandten in Österreich hinweist.
Wir werden auch weiterhin Druck machen, dass die österreichischen Botschaften Vias austellen.
Deutschland, das 2012 fast 8.000 Asylanträge von Menschen aus Syrien hatte, hat nicht nur die Aufnahme von 5.000 Flüchtlingen direkt aus der Region zugesagt, sondern auch, dass, wenn Verwandte Flüchtlinge bei sich aufnehmen, diese Zahl auch überschritten werden kann.

Crimes, Resistance and Legal Intervention
On 11 September 1973 the democratically elected socialist President Salvador Allende was ousted in a Chilean military coup led by junta leader Augusto Pinochet. This marked the beginning of the bloodiest military dictatorship – alongside with the military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983) – in Latin American history, during which thousands of people were murdered, tortured and kidnapped. Yet even through the years of greatest repression, left-wing parties and the inhabitants of Chile’s shanty towns continued to organize resistance against the regime. After a successful campaign by his opponents, Pinochet met his downfall in a referendum held in 1988, formally marking the end of his dictatorship. But even after the elections in 1989, Pinochet remained the dominant figure in Chilean political life. This changed only much later on when, on 16 October 1998, Pinochet was arrested in London.

#Egypt #Syria Campaign Against Arms Trade
Thank you to everyone who took action last week calling for an arms embargo to Egypt. Some of you may have had this reply…
…which doesn’t rule out Egypt being invited to attend the London arms fair in September by any of the 1300 companies exhibiting there. (More on the arms fair here: http://www.stopthearmsfair.org.uk/)
…and which defends the fact that the UK has not suspended all weapons licences to Egypt. This despite the fact the UK has licensed parts for helicopters seen in operation in Cairo in recent weeks.
Please keep up the pressure for a full arms embargo to Egypt:
http://act.caat.org.uk/lobby/74
And take action to stop the arms fair and the conflict and repression it fuels around the world: http://www.stopthearmsfair.org.uk/events/

#Syria : Pillay says chemical weapons allegations “exceptionally grave” – investigation essential
UN #HumanRights chief Navi Pillay urges Government and opposition forces to enable #UNSG’s team to examine the site of the alleged attacks without any delay or obfuscation. Whether or not chemical weapons were used, it seems that once again many civilians have been killed in flagrant contravention of international law. Thousands of injured people are in desperate need of medical care and #humanitarian aid. “Halt the fighting immediately and allow access to humanitarian aid and essential medical supplies, in order to prevent more needless deaths,” says UN rights chief Navi Pillay.
