Muestra un mundo en el que la inseguridad y la discriminación estructurales impiden que los avances conseguidos en las leyes se hagan realidad plenamente y en el que la igualdad y los derechos humanos siguen en el plano de las buenas intenciones, no en el de las buenas prácticas. También dibuja un mundo en el que los Estados escogen a su antojo los derechos que están dispuestos a respetar y los que prefieren suprimir. INFORME 2009 AMNISTÍA INTERNACIONAL El núcleo del libro es un estudio sobre los derechos humanos EL ESTADO DE LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS EN EL MUNDO país por país, desde Afganistán hasta Zimbabue. Los artículos muestran de manera patente hasta qué punto son frágiles (en el mejor de los casos) los avances conseguidos en la mejora de la vida de millones de personas cuando los Estados ignoran o reprimen alguno de los derechos consagrados en la Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos. En el transcurso de 2008, el mundo fue testigo, una y otra vez, de oleadas de protestas populares protagonizadas por personas hambrientas, excluidas y empobrecidas. En muchos casos, la respuesta a estas protestas fue la represión y el uso excesivo de la fuerza: los gobiernos no estaban dispuestos a escuchar la voz de la gente.

  • Speech by Cllr Mpho Parks Tau, Executive Mayor Of
    SPEECH BY CLLR MPHO PARKS TAU, EXECUTIVE MAYOR OF JOHANNESBURG, AT THE GENERAL MEETING OF MEMBERS OF THE GAUTENG CIRCLE OF THE LAW SOCIETY OF THE NOTHERN PROVINCES, SUNNYSIDE PARK HOTEL, JOHANNESBURG, 11 OCTOBER, 2014 Chairperson of the Gauteng Circle of the Law Society Mr. T. Mkhonto Our keynote speaker for today Honourable Judge V Saldanha Members of the Gauteng Circle of the Law Society Distinguished guests Ladies and Gentlemen Good Morning On behalf of the City of Johannesburg I would like to thank you for inviting us to this important function of the legal fraternity. Gatherings like these offer us an opportunity to share ideas but also to immerse ourselves in the country’s legal issues and in the latest debates in the field. Ladies and gentlemen, as a country we have come a long way since the dawn of democracy in 1994. The democratically elected government led by the African National Congress has done much to deliver on the people’s expectations since then. We now have the most liberal constitution in the world. Previously, human rights violations were an intrinsic part of the system. Now, when they occur, they are seen as a disgrace to our society and action is taken against the perpetrators. Apartheid, which left many of us with physical and mental scars, has been buried for good. As the City of Johannesburg we have also made strides in implementing national policy. We continue to transform our City, including our townships such as Soweto and Alexandra, from a city based on segregation and suspicion to a non-racial people’s city.

The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.

  • The Racist Legacy in Modern Swedish Saami Policy1
    THE RACIST LEGACY IN MODERN SWEDISH SAAMI POLICY1 Roger Kvist Department of Saami Studies Umeå University S-901 87 Umeå Sweden Abstract/Resume The Swedish national state (1548-1846) did not treat the Saami any differently than the population at large. The Swedish nation state (1846- 1971) in practice created a system of institutionalized racism towards the nomadic Saami. Saami organizations managed to force the Swedish welfare state to adopt a policy of ethnic tolerance beginning in 1971. The earlier racist policy, however, left a strong anti-Saami rights legacy among the non-Saami population of the North. The increasing willingness of both the left and the right of Swedish political life to take advantage of this racist legacy, makes it unlikely that Saami self-determination will be realized within the foreseeable future. L'état suédois national (1548-1846) n'a pas traité les Saami d'une manière différente de la population générale. L'Etat de la nation suédoise (1846- 1971) a créé en pratique un système de racisme institutionnalisé vers les Saami nomades. Les organisations saamies ont réussi à obliger l'Etat- providence suédois à adopter une politique de tolérance ethnique à partir de 1971. Pourtant, la politique précédente de racisme a fait un legs fort des droits anti-saamis parmi la population non-saamie du nord. En con- séquence de l'empressement croissant de la gauche et de la droite de la vie politique suédoise de profiter de ce legs raciste, il est peu probable que l'autodétermination soit atteinte dans un avenir prévisible. 204 Roger Kvist Introduction In 1981 the Supreme Court of Sweden stated that the Saami right to reindeer herding, and adjacent rights to hunting and fishing, was a form of private property.

  • Kenya Deputy President William Ruto 2021
    Meet the Real William Ruto MPs and other Mt Kenya politicians who insist they do not have a problem with President Uhuru Kenyatta, that their differences with Uhuru is because of Raila Odinga, or because they suspect Uhuru is not willing to support DP William Ruto for presidency in 2022, are either naive, or outright liars. WILLIAM RUTO WITH FAROUK KIBET During the weekend of December 8 - 9, 2019, DP Ruto attended events in at least 5 counties, including: 1. The African Independent Pentecostal Church of Africa (AIPCA), Mukaro Diocese, Giakanja, Nyeri County. 2. Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) Cathedral of St Peter’s Mbeere, Siakago, Embu County. 3. St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, Mukuyuni, Makueni County. 4. Ndagani Catholic Parish, Chuka, Tharaka-Nithi County. 5. Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA), Kipipiri, Nyandarua County. Every politically enlightened Kenyan knows what these events represent. They could be termed prayer-worship, fundraising or whatever. But we know they are also campaign events, and have been going on for almost 2 years now. In fact, I don’t think any other Kenyan has ever spent so much time airborne, on Kenyan airspace, as DP Ruto has (apart from pilots & air hostesses). This is what I believe is going on: A little digression: Once upon a time, I worked for 3 months as a clerk in a government office. One day, I accompanied my boss as he went to buy some equipment in town. That was when I learnt why corruption is so prevalent in Kenya. The business itself encouraged corruption, probably so that one can become a frequent customer.
