  • Dear Human Rights Defender

    Dear Human Rights Defender

    Dear Human Rights Defender, I’m writing to you because I think you understand that securing basic human rights has always hinged on the success of daily battles for civil liberties and human dignity. I think you would also agree that human rights and civil liberties are only truly present when they are available to all people, especially the most vulnerable among us. I founded the Human Rights Defense Center and our monthly magazine, Prison Legal News, on these principles, and as a result the organization has focused its efforts on responding to the constant flow of injustices stemming from America’s jails and prisons. As the Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky said, “The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.” That doesn’t bode well for this country, where we have 5% of the world’s population and 25% of the world’s prisoners. With more than 2.4 million people in U.S. prisons, jails and other detention facilities, and approximately another 5 million on probation or parole, this country has been faced with an unprecedented rate of mass incarceration, the likes of which the world has never seen. It is what some have called a Fill out the attached slip to receive a sample issue of PLN! “Nation Inside”— others have called it “The New Jim Crow.” More than 60 percent of prisoners in the Nation Inside identify as African American or Latino men, despite those demographics making up only 15 percent of the male population in the U.S. It is difficult to overstate the impact of institutional racism and classism in the criminal justice system.

McArthur, Acting Administrator, Northwest Office of Native American Programs, 0API FROM: A. George Tilley, District Inspector General for Audit, OAGA SUBJECT: Congressional Request Citizen Complaint Cascade Inter-Tribal Housing Authority Sedro Woolley, WA We performed an audit at the Cascade Inter-Tribal Housing Authority (Housing Authority) to evaluate allegations in a complaint received through the office of Congressman Jack Metcalf of the United States House of Representatives. The complainant alleged fraud, waste, and mismanagement at the Housing Authority in the areas of: · procurement, · use of Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program (CIAP) grant funds, · travel, · the award of Section 8 Vouchers and Mutual Help homes, · calculation of payments for Mutual Help homes, and · maintenance of Mutual Help homes. We did not substantiate the allegations in the complaint relating to procurement, use of CIAP grant funds, and travel. However, we determined that the allegations relating to the award of a Section 8 Voucher and a Mutual Help home, calculation of payments for Mutual Help homes, and maintenance of Mutual Help homes were valid. As provided in HUD Handbook 2000.6 REV-2, within 60 days, please provide us, for each recommendation in this report, a status report on: (1) the corrective action 98-SE-207-1001 taken; (2) the proposed corrective action and the date to be completed; or (3) why action is considered unnecessary.

Evans, the Ninth Circuit held that the International Whaling Commission (“IWC”) Schedule’s approval of a quota to hunt whales for the Native American Makah Tribe (“Makahs”) violated the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The implications of this holding were troubling: despite the U.S. government and the IWC approving, on domestic and international levels, the Makahs’ whaling proposal in the 1990s, the Makahs were still unable to hunt whales legally. The Makahs’ right to whale stemmed from the 1855 Neah Bay Treaty, an agreement between the Makahs and the U.S. government in which the government promised the Makahs the right to whale. However, the enactment of a domestic law called the Whaling Convention Act in 1949 superseded the treaty, rendering it void.

  • Seattle Times Editorial

    Seattle Times Editorial

    The Seattle Times Friday, October 13, 2000 Editorial Pass a pipeline bill with tougher inspections Congress must pass pipeline-safety legislation worthy of the memory of three young Bellingham residents who perished last year in the aftermath of an Olympic Pipe Line rupture and explosion. That was the message from the victims' parents, who rallied House members to reject Senate legislation that lawmakers, Northwest civic leaders and many others found inadequate. Reps. Jay Inslee, D-Bainbridge Island, and Jack Metcalf, R-Langley, led a gutsy bipartisan effort that argued no legislation was preferable to another flawed measure that deferred to the federal Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS). The gamble is that improvements can be made before the end of the session, or that a new Congress will be more sympathetic to tougher pipeline standards. Sen. Patty Murray worked the Senate side of Capitol Hill since the earliest days after the explosion. She did an extraordinary job getting the Senate to look at the issue. The Washington Democrat was eventually joined by Republican Sens. Slade Gorton and John McCain of Arizona. Gorton, this state's senior senator, was a key force securing committee hearings and a vote. What dogged the Senate legislation was a sense of history repeating itself. Twenty-two times in the past, following tragic pipeline incidents, Congress has turned to OPS, and nothing happened. The oil and gas industry has had a tight grip on the legislative process. After Bellingham, House Republican leadership, primarily two Texas representatives, never allowed tougher House bills to come to a vote in committee or on the floor.
