Martin Adler- Ögonblick 22.11 - 1.3 2015 Martin Adler, född 30 oktober 1958 i Stockholm, död 23 juni 2006 i Mogadishu, Somalia, var svensk frilansjournalist och nyhetsfotograf. Adler föddes i Stockholm och växte upp i Västerås. Hans mamma kom från Storbritannien, där han utbildade sig. Martin Adlers arbete fick internationell uppmärksamhet, och han erhöll ett stort antal priser. Han var både en framstående fotograf och skribent som ville öppna världens ögon för orättvisor och lidande. Han reste till ställen dit få andra vågade åka. Han rapporterade från världens mest oroliga platser, och hade erfarenhet av att ha arbetat i över två dussin krigszoner som El Salvador, Rwanda, Kongo-Kinshasa, Angola, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Tjetjenien, Bosnien, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Kashmir, Burundi, Somalia, Sudan, Eritrea och Irak. 2001 belönades han med Amnesty Internationals mediapris i nyhetskategorin för sitt reportage om kidnappning och försäljning av kvinnor i Kina. Han belönades även med Silver Prize for Investigative Journalism vid New York TV Festival 2001. 2004 belönades han med Rory Peck Award for Hard News för On Patrol with Charlie Company i Irak. Martin Adler mördades den 23 juni 2006 av en okänd gärningsman under en demonstration i Somalias huvudstad Mogadishu. Adler blev 47 år gammal och efterlämnade hustru och två döttrar.Läs mer Västerås konstmuseum presenterar en omfattande utställning med 125 av Martin Adlers bilder. Bildspel, filmer och fotografier fyller den stora utställningssalen. Martin Adler - Ögonblick 22.11 2014 – 1.3 2015 Martin Adler skildrade människor och kulturer genom kameran. Han rapporterade från stridszoner och katastrofområden världen över. Fokus i utställningen är Adlers världsomfattande arbete och starka bildberättelser. Martin Adler hade en förmåga att skildra den enskilda individen mitt i allt kaos – att fånga ögonblicket. Hans arbete kännetecknas av nyfikenhet och ett genuint intresse för att lyfta fram människor och deras berättelser där pressfriheten var som mest hotad. Adler arbetade i över trettio länder och synliggjorde brott mot mänskliga rättigheter, fattigdom och den enskilda människans utsatthet. I utställningen visas bilder, bildspel och kortfilmer från bland annat Afghanistan, Indien, Irak, Kina, Liberia, Rwanda och Tjetjenien. Här möter vi krigets fasor, men även krigets vardag, barnens lek, kvinnors arbete, nära porträtt och poetiska landskap. Adler specialiserade sig på fristående reportage från världens mest problemdrabbade områden. Han lyfte fram fattigdom, övergrepp på mänskliga rättigheter och enskilda individer mitt i krig och folkmord. 2007 instiftade The Rory Peck Trust ett årligt pris i Adlers namn. The Martin Adler Prize delas ut via Brittiska filminstitutet till kameraman eller kamerakvinna, journalist eller chaufför för deras roll i rapporteringen av särskilt viktiga händelser.

  • For a Safer Tomorrow Protecting Civilians in a Multipolar World Oxfam Ireland, Món Oxfam (Spain), Tional 2008 Na Ong, Inter Acterises Modern Warfare
    For a Safer Tomorrow For a Safer Tomorrow Protecting civilians in a multipolar world Since the end of the Cold War, the number of armed conflicts in the world has fallen. But is this trend now about to be reversed? Climate change, poverty and inequality, and the wider availability of weapons all add to the risk of conflicts increasing. In 1949, the Geneva Conventions enshrined people’s rights to be protected from atrocities in conflict. Yet civilians are still killed, raped, and forced to flee their homes, 60 years on. In 2005, almost every government in the world agreed its Responsibility to Protect civilians. Many have failed to keep this promise. Governments must now make new efforts to take up the challenge in a rapidly changing ‘multipolar’ world, where China and the USA will be the ‘superpowers’, and Protecting civilians in a m where India, the European Union, Brazil, and others are gaining new global influence. Many people feel that there is little that can be done to prevent the brutal targeting of civilians that characterises modern warfare. They are wrong. This report, based on Oxfam International’s experience in most of the world’s conflicts, sets out an ambitious agenda to protect civilians through combining local, national, and regional action with far more consistent international support. ultipolar wor For ld a Safer Eric Canalstein/UN Photo Tomorrow www.oxfam.org © Oxfam International 2008 Protecting civilians Oxfam International is a confederation of 13 organisations working together in more than 100 countries to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice: Oxfam America, Oxfam Australia, Oxfam-in-Belgium, in a multipolar world Oxfam Canada, Oxfam France - Agir ici, Oxfam Germany, Oxfam GB, Oxfam Hong Kong, Intermón Oxfam (Spain), Oxfam Ireland, Oxfam New Zealand, Oxfam Novib (Netherlands), and Oxfam Québec.

  • Refugees Human Rights Have No Borders AI Index: ACT 34/03/97 Preface
    Refugees Human Rights have no borders AI Index: ACT 34/03/97 Preface Amnesty International’s one million members around the world believe that human rights are for everyone. They lobby governments all over the world to improve their human rights records and to use their influence over other states to enhance the protection of human rights. Amnesty International’s members work with the news media to expose abuses and mobilize public opinion. They organize locally, nationally and internationally to build the momentum for change. They collaborate with other organizations, including refugee groups, in the struggle to build a fairer and safer world. As part of this work, Amnesty International opposes the forcible return (refoulement) of any person to a country where he or she would be at risk of falling victim to imprisonment as a prisoner of conscience1, torture, “disappearance”, extrajudicial execution or the death penalty. This is the basis of Amnesty International’s work for refugees. It is an important element of preventive human rights work — acting to prevent human rights violations, not just responding after they have occurred. Amnesty International calls on governments to ensure that they do not obstruct asylum-seekers’ access to their countries and that they provide asylum procedures that are fair, impartial and thorough. The organization demands that no asylum-seeker is forcibly expelled without having had his or her claim properly examined. It also calls on states to ensure that they do not expel anyone to a country which may itself forcibly return them to danger. Much of Amnesty International’s work on behalf of refugees is carried out by the movement’s national sections based in the countries where people seek protection.

  • Weapons for Sale in the Bakaraaha Market in Mogadishu, Somalia, in May 2004
    Weapons for sale in the Bakaraaha market in Mogadishu, Somalia, in May 2004. © Ibrahim Hassan/Reuters Probing the Grey Area IRRESPONSIBLE SMALL ARMS TRANSFERS 3 INTRODUCTION Between August 2004 and July 2005 the US Department of Defense (DOD) authorized the purchase and transfer of about 200,000 AK-47-type assault rifles and tens of millions of rounds of ammunition from Bosnia and Herzegovina as aid to Iraqi government forces. While not illegal, this transaction has the hallmarks of an irresponsible transfer: weap ons were shipped via private arms brokers into a context where the human rights situation had been steadily deteriorating and where the likelihood of diversion was high due to poor oversight and generally weak stockpile security (see below). This chapter examines how even such duly authorized small arms transfers can be considered illicit. Most international efforts concerned with small arms and light weapons have focused on stemming the illicit trade in such weapons, but usage of the term ‘illicit’ varies. It is often taken to refer to something that is clearly illegal, i.e. prohibited by law. However, in a more precise reading, ‘illicit’ also describes an action that contravenes widely accepted social or moral standards, even if not technically illegal.1 In such terms, illicit arms transfers thus include those transfers that are irresponsible, even though authorized by a government, in addition to those that are demon- strably illegal. While some recent multilateral small arms control initiatives have provided definitions of ‘illicit’, none has explicitly equated it with ‘irresponsible’. In some of these undertakings (e.g.

REUTERS/SERGEI KARPUKHIN 2 CONTENTS 5 ABOUT THIS REPORT 6 FOREWORD CHAPTER I 8 WHAT DOES IMPUNITY MEAN? It isn’t just one story that ends with a journalist’s death; a climate of intimidation builds. If no one is punished, killers are emboldened, and violence repeats. Journalists have no choice but to censor themselves or even flee into exile. Targeted attacks on the media have kept the world from understandingCHAPTER the II full dimension of violence in Syria, drug trafficking in Mexico, militant influence in Pakistan, and corruption in Russia. 10 MEASURING PROGRESS AGAINST STUBBORN REALITY International recognition of impunity as a global problem, including by the United Nations, is an important step. But outside of political corridors, progress is spotty; impunity rates have risen steadily over the past decade in most countries. One encouraging sign: convictions in journalist murders have been edging higher. One country, Colombia, embodies hope, but also shows the long road that must be traveled to reach justice. CHAPTER III 14 WHERE IMPUNITY THRIVES There are many ways that widespread, enduring impunity takes hold when it comes to attacks on journalists. In some cases, it is a lack of political will.

Der Auslandsjournalismus des 21. Jahrhunderts stützt sich zunehmend auf lokale Ak- teure der globalen Nachrichtenindustrie, die häufig als lokale »Stringer« oder »Fixer« bezeichnet werden. Auf Basis von Feldforschungen in Indien und Europa untersucht Martin Heidelberger diese lokale Teilhabe an der globalen Nachrichtenindustrie aus einer ethnologischen Perspektive. Er zeichnet nach, wie lokale Akteure in der Praxis Zugänge für reisende Journalisten herstellen, wie sie vor Ort übersetzen, Interviews übernehmen oder Medienprodukte für Auslandsredaktionen autonom produzieren. Die Studie zeigt, wie bei der journalistischen Kooperation lokale Standpunkte wirksam werden, die den Auslandsjournalismus verändern. Martin Heidelberger, geb. 1980, arbeitet als freier Autor, Ethnograf und Journalist in Karlsruhe. Sein Interesse an der globalen Nachrichtenindustrie geht auf seine Tätig- keit als Redakteur im Auslandsrundfunk zurück.

  • Somalia Page 1 of 13
    Somalia Page 1 of 13 Somalia Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 6, 2007 Somalia, with an estimated population of 8.5 million, has been without a central government since 1991. From June to December the area that was traditionally considered the territory of the Somali state was fragmented into regions in part or whole presided over by four distinct entities: the Transitional Federal Government (TFG), centered around Baidoa; the Supreme Council of Islamic Courts (Islamic Courts) in Mogadishu and the surrounding regions; the self-declared Republic of Somaliland in the northwest; and the semi-autonomous region of Puntland in the northeast. The TFG was formed in late 2004, with Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed as president and Ali Mohamed Gedi as prime minister. Civilian authorities generally did not maintain effective control of the security forces in any area of the country, although elected civilian authorities in Somaliland and Puntland maintained some control over security forces in their respective regions. In January TFG President Yusuf and former Speaker of Parliament Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan agreed to unite the government by convening the 275-member clan-based Parliament. In February the TFG moved to Baidoa and the Parliament held its first session; however, TFG unity was short-lived due to continuing divisions within the government and a subsequent military conflict with the Islamic Courts. In February a group of ministers of the TFG, businessmen, and faction leaders announced the formation of the Alliance for Restoration of Peace and Counter-Terrorism (ARPCT) to fight terrorism and stabilize the country.
