  • Keys HRW Revision
    Harnessing Human Rights to the Olympic Games: Human Rights Watch and the 1993 “Stop Beijing” Campaign Barbara Keys The Journal of Contemporary History 53, no. 2 (2018): 415-38 doi: 10.1177/0022009416667791 Author accepted version As each quadrennial Olympic Game approaches, host countries come under intense global scrutiny. In recent years, a familiar pattern has developed: human rights organizations and other pressure groups campaign loudly about human rights problems, especially but not only when the host city is in an undemocratic country, and the resulting controversies are now a routine feature of the dramatic build-up to the festival. Before the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, a global debate erupted over China's long list of political prisoners, suppression of religious minorities, support of Sudan’s genocidal campaign in Darfur, and brutal treatment of Tibetan nationalists. Leading up to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games, the global media highlighted Russia's anti- gay ‘propaganda’ law and its hostile climate for LGBT rights.1 The International Olympic Committee has been forced to respond by paying lip service to human rights issues. In its Olympic Agenda 2020, adopted in late 2014, it copied language from the Article 2 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights into its Charter’s revised non-discrimination clause, and it has inserted vague human rights provisions in future host-city contracts.2 Human Rights Watch (HRW) has been at the forefront of campaigns to leverage the Olympic Games into human rights-promoting enterprises, in ways that have had profound but unrecognized effects on the global human rights movement.

  • Most Censored Stories of 2006–07
    ISSN 0028-9485 January 2008 Vol. LVII No. 1 www.ala.org/nif Project Censored, a media research group at Sonoma State University that tracks news published in independent journals and newsletters, has published its annual listing of “most censored” stories. Project Censored compiles an annual list of 25 news stories of social significance that have been overlooked, under‑reported or self‑censored by the country’s major national news media. Between 700 and 1000 stories are submitted to Project Censored each year from journalists, scholars, librarians, and concerned citizens around the world. With the help of more than 200 Sonoma State University faculty, students, and community members, Project Censored reviews the story submissions for coverage, content, reliability of sources and national significance. The university community selects 25 stories to submit to the Project Censored panel of judges who then rank them in order of importance.
