Soudan et Soudan du Sud : la chef des droits de l'homme de l'ONU s'inquiète 17 avril - La Haut commissaire des Nations Unies aux droits de l'homme, Navi Pillay, a exhorté mardi les gouvernements du Soudan et du Soudan du Sud à arrêter la violence avant que celle-ci ne sape l'accord de paix qui a été conclu difficilement après des décennies de conflit armé entre les deux parties. Mme Pillay a rappelé aux deux gouvernements leur obligation de protéger les civils en vertu des droits de l'homme et du droit humanitaire international, et elle a condamné les La Haut commissaire des Nations Unies attaques récentes des deux côtés qui ont fait des morts parmi les civils. aux droits de l'homme, Navi Pillay. Photo ONU/Jean-Marc Ferré « Je condamne les bombardements aériens par les forces soudanaises dans les zones habitées par des civils au Soudan du Sud, y compris à Mayom et Bentiu dans l'Etat de l'Unity, qui ont coûté la vie à au moins huit civils et blessé beaucoup d'autres depuis samedi », a indiqué Mme Pillay dans une déclaration à la presse. « Au cours de la semaine passée, nous avons assisté à une intensification de l'usage des avions militaires Antonov et des avions de chasse pour des attaques à la bombe et à la roquette, y compris dans des zones très proches des bureaux des organisations internationales. De telles attaques déplorables doivent cesser immédiatement », a-t-elle ajouté. Mme Pillay s'est également dite alarmée par l'occupation injustifiée par l'armée du Soudan du Sud de la région riche en pétrole de Heglig au Kordofan méridional (Soudan), ainsi que par les informations qui font état d'une mobilisation importante de milices nordistes dans la zone disputée d'Abyei au cours des derniers jours. « Ce sont des informations inquiétantes et j'appelle toutes les parties prenantes à s'employer à éviter un dérapage vers la confrontation armée, en gardant à l'esprit les conséquences humanitaires dramatiques pour les civils. Après tant d'années de conflit interne, les Soudanais et les Sud-soudanais connaissent trop bien les conséquences de la violence à grande échelle et des déplacements », a souligné Mme Pillay. La Haut commissaire a déclaré qu'elle soutenait l'appel du Secrétaire général de l'ONU, Ban Ki-moon, à la convocation au plus vite d'un Sommet entre les présidents des deux pays, et elle a appelé les deux parties prenantes à renouveler les engagements qu'elles avaient pris lors de l'Accord de paix de 2005. De son côté, la Mission des Nations Unies au Soudan du Sud (MINUSS) a fait part mardi de sa préoccupation concernant la poursuite des bombardements aériens dans des zones habitées par des civils dans les Etats de l'Unity et de Warrap, au Soudan du Sud. Bulletin quotidien de l ’ONU 17 avril 2012 3 « La perte de vies humaines causée par des bombardements aveugles à Bentiu et Mayom sont inacceptables. Il relève de la responsabilité des parties prenantes aux hostilités de respecter l'intégrité physique des civils et leur droit à vivre sans craindre d'être déplacés », a dit la Représentante spéciale du Secrétaire général des Nations Unies au Soudan du Sud, Hilde Johnson, dans une déclaration à la presse. La MINUSS a rappelé qu'elle était mandatée à protéger les civils qui sont sous menace d'une violence physique imminente. Au cours des derniers jours, la MINUSS a confirmé plusieurs bombardements, dont cinq bombes qui ont été lâchées sur le village de Mayom dimanche soir et qui ont touché une base de soutien de la mission de l'ONU. Ces bombardements ont fait 8 morts et 22 blessés, tous des civils. « J'appelle les deux parties à respecter les droits de l'homme et le droit humanitaire international, à protéger les civils et à garantir la sécurité des organisations d'aide humanitaire internationales ainsi que le personnel et les biens de l'ONU », a déclaré Mme Johnson.

  • Europe in the First Six Months of 2011, Particularly in Central and Eastern Europe
    http://www.freemedia.at E U R O P E Turkey, Belarus, Hungary Cause Particular Concern By Steven M. Ellis, Press Freedom Adviser The International Press Institute (IPI) is concerned at media freedom developments in Europe in the first six months of 2011, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. While the region overall had one of the lowest death tolls in the world for journalists in the first half of 2011, with two murdered in Russia, it saw ongoing harassment of journalists in countries like Turkey and Belarus, and backsliding on safeguards for media independence in countries like Hungary. Impunity for attacks on journalists remained a major issue from Russia to the Balkans, and bright spots like the release of jailed journalist Eynulla Fatullayev in Azerbaijan in May were often overshadowed by a climate of repression. Former Soviet‐bloc countries continued to experience difficulty ensuring that governments view media as independent, and not as a tool for the dissemination of propaganda. Across Europe, self‐ censorship was exacerbated by archaic criminal defamation laws that remained on the books, setting both a negative example and actually serving as the basis for prosecutions of journalists in Italy. Turkey presented one of the worst pictures on the continent. According to the Freedom for Journalists Platform, an umbrella group representing national and local groups in Turkey, the government holds approximately 70 journalists in jail, apparently more than any other country in the world. A study released in April by the Organization for Security and Co‐operation in Europe (OSCE)’s Representative on Freedom of the Media, Dunja Mijatović, found that the country was then holding at least 57 journalists in prison, most under anti‐terrorism laws or laws against membership in an armed criminal organization.

  • 2006-2007 Impact Report
    INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S MEDIA FOUNDATION The Global Network for Women in the News Media 2006–2007 Annual Report From the IWMF Executive Director and Co-Chairs March 2008 Dear Friends and Supporters, As a global network the IWMF supports women journalists throughout the world by honoring their courage, cultivating their leadership skills, and joining with them to pioneer change in the news media. Our global commitment is reflected in the activities documented in this annual report. In 2006-2007 we celebrated the bravery of Courage in Journalism honorees from China, the United States, Lebanon and Mexico. We sponsored an Iraqi journalist on a fellowship that placed her in newsrooms with American counterparts in Boston and New York City. In the summer we convened journalists and top media managers from 14 African countries in Johannesburg to examine best practices for increasing and improving reporting on HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria. On the other side of the world in Chicago we simultaneously operated our annual Leadership Institute for Women Journalists, training mid-career journlists in skills needed to advance in the newsroom. These initiatives were carried out in the belief that strong participation by women in the news media is a crucial part of creating and maintaining freedom of the press. Because our mission is as relevant as ever, we also prepared for the future. We welcomed a cohort of new international members to the IWMF’s governing board. We geared up for the launch of leadership training for women journalists from former Soviet republics. And we added a major new journalism training inititiative on agriculture and women in Africa to our agenda.

It covers events and developments of 2010 and 2011. The fact that NCH presents this news does not imply that it shares the views and beliefs of the historians and others mentioned in it. The complete set of Annual Reports (1995–2011) was compiled by Antoon De Baets. Please send any comments to: <[email protected]>.

Network of Concerned Historians, Annual Report 2011 (June 2011) 2 ____________________________________________________________ AFGHANISTAN Last Annual Report entry: 2010. In early 2010, the National Stability and Reconciliation bill was officially promulgated, granting immunity from criminal prosecution to people who committed serious human rights violations and war crimes over the past thirty years. In March 2007, a coalition of powerful warlords in parliament pushed through the amnesty law to prevent prosecution of individuals responsible for large-scale human rights abuses in the preceding decades. It was not publicized and promulgated until early 2010. It was revived in 2010 to facilitate amnesties for reconciliation and reintegration of the Taliban and the islamist political party Hezb-i Islami Gulbuddin. In the absence of a practical justice system to address the lack of accountability by the warring parties, the government was urged to ask the International Criminal Court to investigate allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by all parties to the conflict.
