  • CENTRAL ORGAN of CPI(ML) DECEMBER 2020 Rs.15
    DECEMBER 2020 Rs.15 COVER STORY CENTRAL ORGAN OF CPI(ML) COVER STORY (CPIML Central Committee Statement) We condemn the raids by the National Investigative Agency on a range of civil society groups and individuals in Jammu and Kashmir, Bengaluru, and Delhi. The NIA claims the raids are to crackdown on “terror funding” – but that is a transparent excuse to harass and silence all those expressing concern for the rights and wellbeing of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. By using the NIA to crack down on human rights defenders, humanitarian groups, journalists, and citizens, the Modi regime is seeking to ensure that there are no witnesses for its crimes against the people of J&K. The groups and individuals targeted by the NIA have a long and impressive track record of human rights and humanitarian work. The Jammu Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society (JKCCS), for instance, has researched and documented reports on unmarked mass graves, fake encounters, custodial torture, sexual violence and the impact of violence on children in J&K. The JKCCS has also pursued the cause of a credible probe to ensure justice for the Kashmiri Pandits killed in the Valley. The Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP) is an organisation that has led one of the longest standing peaceful struggles for justice and truth: organising parents of persons “disappeared” by the state forces to march every week in their memory. Another target of the NIA raids is Zafarul Islam Khan, former chairperson of the Delhi Minorities Commission, and founding editor of the Milli Gazette newspaper, who runs the humanitarian group Charity Alliance.

Conclusion: A global compact on healthcare in conflict settings 42 Appendix 47 Acknowledgments 49 References 02 HEALTHCARE IN CONFLICT SETTINGS FOREWORD Recent conflicts have brought into focus the worst that humanity can do to itself, testing the limits of international law and norms. For civilians caught up in conflict – ‘left behind’ from global prosperity and progress – the rhetoric around rule of law, human rights and humanitarianism may well seem meaningless. This report begins by outlining the multifaceted and interlinked impacts of conflict on health for such populations. It also describes the key global frame- works that should minimize harm and help protect health during conflict, including Agenda 2030, adopted by all member states in 2015. Agenda 2030 is a global vision “to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom”. The means to achieve this vision are found in the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
