  • Diamonds in the Dust
    Diamonds in the Dust In the following discourse during Dasara, Bhagavan Shri Sathya Sai Baba explains that we should not identify ourselves with the body but the atma as that confers bliss, peace, and light. Compassion toward all creatures is the greatest virtue; willful injury to any creature is the worst vice. Have full faith in this. Spread love and joy through compassion and be full of joy and peace yourself. You do not have joy and peace now mainly because your vision is warped and wobbling. The vision is now directed toward the faults and failings of others, never toward one's own faults and failings. The ears, too, delight when stories of the failures and foibles of others are related. No attempt is made to examine the failures and foibles of oneself. Really speaking, the inquiry and investigation have to begin with oneself. For, what we see in others is the reflection of our own selves, our own prejudices and preferences. Besides, when your attention is focused on faults and failures, vices and wrongs, the mind, too, becomes infected with their pollution and it starts relishing only experiences that smack of such tastes. Hence, the lives of such people lose the peace and joy that are the heritage of the wise and the wary. Let us take the example of the snake. It has two characteristics: (1) It never moves straight. Its path is always crooked. (2) It strikes at all that comes in its way. Man, too, is snaky, for he exhibits these two characteristics in a marked manner.

  • THE ROLE of IVORIAN HUMAN RIGHTS NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS (Ngos) in the PURSUIT of the RIGHT to DEVELOPMENT in CÔTE D’IVOIRE
    THE ROLE OF IVORIAN HUMAN RIGHTS NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS (NGOs) IN THE PURSUIT OF THE RIGHT TO DEVELOPMENT IN CÔTE D’IVOIRE by PATRICE ERNEST VAHARD submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LAWS at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA PROMOTER: PROF M BEUKES FEBRUARY 2014 DECLARATION Student number 3568-227-2 I declare that ‘The role of Ivorian human rights non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the pursuit of the right to development in Côte d’Ivoire’ is my own work and that all sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. SIGNATURE DATE (Mr PE Vahard) i ABSTRACT This work is built on three pillars and seeks to contribute to the understanding of the right to development (RtD) especially from the perspective of human rights non-governmental organisations. First, the right to development, arguably one of the most recent and controversial rights in the architecture of international human rights, shapes the development paradigm in a manner that integrates civil, cultural, economic, social, political and environmental rights of both individuals and groups without distinction. Secondly, in general, social movements – including non- governmental organisations (NGOs) – play a crucial role as agents for change in any democratic society. Africa, and within it Côte d’Ivoire, is no exception. Thirdly Côte d’Ivoire, an African country once heralded as a success story has been confronted with an internal conflict with impacts which continue to be felt in the form of increased poverty and insecurity. The country strives to resume peace, development and stability but does not appear to have reached the end of the tunnel.
