Tribute to Donald Pels

Human Rights Watch mourns the death on October 16, 2014, of Donald A. Dear friends, Pels, our dear friend and benefactor. Don and his wife, Wendy Keys, have been indispensable partners to Human Rights Watch for more than two decades. The past year has been a tumultuous one for human rights.

Their wise counsel and deep generosity have played central roles in building Violence in the name of religion or ethnicity intensified Human Rights Watch as it evolved into a global organization capable of in many places around the globe, often with devastating defending the rights of the world’s most vulnerable people wherever they consequences for civilians. reside.

Even in death, Don’s belief in our work and commitment to our cause live on. In 2014, we helped mobilize powerful governments to reduce Photo Courtesy of Wendy Keys He left Human Rights Watch a substantial planned gift—a solid foundation for the human cost of religious and ethnic strife.

At the same time, we tackled entrenched problems in countries less immediately associated with human rights violations—like the United States. Last year we prompted many of the largest US tobacco companies to stop using child labor in the fields.

Yet in this time of volatility, much work remains. With a proliferation of crises in Syria, Ukraine, South Sudan, and beyond, we are working to protect vulnerable people caught in harm’s way. We are also combatting intensifying repression in such places as China, Egypt, and Russia— all countries at the forefront of efforts to suppress civil society and popular dissent. And we continue to keep an eye on the practices of Western governments that tout themselves as leaders on human rights but often fall short.

To contend with these challenges, your support remains critical. Thank you for all that you do to champion the human rights cause and uphold our common humanity.

WHY THE WORLD RELIES ON OUR WORK

It has been a tumultuous year for human rights. Violence in the name of religion or ethnicity intensified worldwide in 2014, often affecting areas where different communities have lived together for centuries. These conflicts were not inevitable. Within and between many countries, political differences have increasingly been framed in communal terms. That pitted religious or ethnic groups against one another, endangering civilians and basic freedoms. At this volatile time, Human Rights Watch persevered on the front lines, addressing root causes of these conflicts, demanding human rights Letta Tayler, senior emergencies researcher (center), and for all, and saving lives.

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC Crimes against humanity in the heart of Africa On January 14, 2014 in a small and otherwise forgotten town of northwest Central African Republic (CAR), an armed militia harboring hatred towards Muslims stopped a fleeing truck full of women and children. Knowing she was about to die, Fatimatu Yamsa handed her 7-month-old baby to a Christian woman next to her. The militias hacked the mother to death with machetes, but the baby was saved. Two other Muslim women and their four children were massacred with Yamsa on the steps of the village mosque. HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH LIVES IN THE BALANCE | CAR 19 Awareness

What a war crime “All those red dots are the houses you’ve burned.” Peter Bouckaert, director, Emergencies Program, Human Rights Watch, looks like from space in a face-to-face meeting with a Seleka colonel.

Human Rights Watch deployed our most comprehensive satellite imagery analysis project to date. We surveyed hundreds of towns and documented destruction of tens of thousands of homes. By exposing the magnitude of the violence, we made the case for a large-scale peacekeeping and diplomatic intervention to protect at-risk civilians. We also used this evidence to confront the perpetrators. One Seleka commander claimed his troops had damaged only four homes. In a face-to-face encounter, we used satellite imagery to show him that in fact the troops had torched 200 homes, and that we had the evidence to hold him accountable for these crimes.

IRAQ Crisis Unfolding

Amid horrific violence in the name of religion, Human Rights Watch focused the world’s attention on the daily effects on ordinary Iraqis. Armed groups targeted men, women, and children for kidnapping and killings based on religious identity. The attacks pitted Sunni and Shia Muslims against one another and endangered the country’s religious and ethnic minorities.

Fertile ground for militancy

In 2003, the ouster of Saddam Hussein ended decades of Sunni domination of political power in Iraq. A Shia-led government, headed for the last eight years by former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, replaced it. Maliki favored Shia political power while neglecting the basic needs and security of all Iraqis. He used the threat of terrorism as an excuse to carry out mass arrests of Sunnis and to exclude Sunnis from positions of authority. A fighter from the extremist group Islamic State (also known as ISIS) His failure to govern fairly alienated Sunni of also focusing on abuses by the Iraqi holds an ISIS flag in the captured city communities and helped to incubate armed government and allied militia.
