	Gay rights group hailed for election role - The Boston Globe
		WASHINGTON -- The Human Rights Campaign, one of the nation's leading gay political organizations, played a quiet but pivotal role electing Democrats at the federal and local level in November, a startling turnaround for a group whose demands for gay marriage helped defeat Democratic candidates in 2004, according to party leaders and lawmakers.
		Klein is otherwise supportive of gay rights and backs civil unions, but his greatest appeal to the HRC was that his narrow victory over GOP incumbent Representative Clay Shaw helped give the Democrats the numbers they needed to take control of the US House.
		At the HRC's urging, state Democratic party officials -- who had been planning just a volunteer phone bank and poll-watching campaign -- paid workers to call voters, knock on doors, and get them to the voting station, according to HRC and party officials.

	Scientology Effective Solutions - Raising public awareness of human rights
		The fundamental premise of human rights, laid down in Article 1 of the Declaration, is that, “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
		The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the world’s foremost human rights charter and is the fount from which all modern human rights instruments have sprung, including the European Convention on Human Rights and the more recent Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
		Scientologists hold that the rights articulated in the UDHR, if applied broadly, will not only lead to a massive reduction of human rights violations across the world, but will significantly vanquish the simmering resentments that cause racial and religious conflicts — and are used for recruitment by terrorists.

	glbtq >> social sciences >> Human Rights Campaign (HRC)
		The formation of the Human Rights Campaign Fund was a response to the success of such right-wing organizations as the Moral Majority and the National Conservative Political Action Committee, which had raised large sums of money and provided other support for anti-gay political candidates.
		Since then, HRCF and HRC dinners--held in most major cities in the United States--have attracted a wide range of celebrities, human rights figures, and politicians, ranging from Coretta Scott King and Elie Wiesel to Vice President and Tipper Gore and Congressman John Lewis.
		In reaction, HRC claims to have changed its endorsement procedure to be more responsive to the opinions of local activists.

	The Human Rights Campaign
		The goal, HRC says, is to elect as many supportive candidates as possible from both parties, not to help one party gain control of Congress.
		HRC's Zingale says that while the same yardstick issues are used for rating Republicans and Democrats, the GOP candidates HRC is backing this year still tended "to get endorsed earlier and receive on average larger contributions."
		And HRC's endorsement seemed to be in step with the majority of gay and lesbian activists in Boston -- given the October 9 endorsements of Kerry by the Alliance, the Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus, Bay State Democrats, and US Representative Gerry Studds.

	Gay rights groups fund ad campaign - The Boston Globe
		Two Washington-based gay rights groups, the Log Cabin Republicans and the Human Rights Campaign, have teamed up to fund a Massachusetts-wide advertising campaign beginning today that denounces a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
		Jacques said the new advertising campaign is actually a slightly modified version of ads the HRC has been running across the nation as conservative groups push Republican leaders in Washington to amend the US Constitution with the Federal Marriage Amendment, which already has several dozen backers in Congress.
		While the new ad campaign is designed to put the heat on the state's 200 legislators as they contemplate action at the constitutional convention, it remains unclear whether the Legislature will get the chance to debate the issue next week.

	Human Rights Act for Australia
		For "to safeguard the inviolable rights of the human person, and to facilitate the performance of his duties, is the principal duty of every public authority."
		Thus any government which refused to recognize human rights or acted in violation of them, would not only fail in its duty; its decrees would be wholly lacking in binding force.
		The Rudd Government’s promised human rights act consultations seem to be well on track with allocations for this purpose of around $2.8 million in the Attorney General Department’s budget.

		For Abu’l A’la Mawdudi there was a clear conflict between the rights of women as enshrined in the UDHR and the need to protect and preserve the chastity of women.
		In other articles we compare the rights of women as they exist in Islamic countries with the rights supposedly guaranteed under the UDHR; show how the rights of non-Muslims are limited in many Islamic states; how freedom of expression is severely curtailed and how freedom of religion and belief are practically nonexistent.
		To accept religion, culture or tradition as a justification for human rights abuses is to discriminate against the abused and to send the message that the victims are undeserving of humane consideration.

	Campaign for a fighting NUS
		As a result of this, other campaigns, and the fact that the figure of unpaid fees by unorganised students reach millions of pounds each year, the government is now proposing to scrap upfront fees and introduce ones through the back door - a graduation tax - from 2006 on.
		Although this in itself is a victory to the student movement, it however means that most students will be graduating to pay an extra 9% in tax, on top of the standard taxation all workers have to pay, and on top of the student loans debts of up to £20,000.
		At the same time, this event will be the first step to building the movement and to putting pressure on the NUS to build a mass movement to scrap all fees, for a restoration of a living grant and for decent public spending in to our institutions.

		HRC says it also spent about $500,000 in independent expenditures in support of candidates during this election cycle.
		In addition to the $2.9 million it spent and contributed in federal campaigns, HRC also sent "over 46 staff members and 29 youth college graduates to targeted states to mobilize HRC members and get out the vote for fairness," said Brad Luna, HRC's director of media relations.
		Where HRC's PAC is considered to be essentially a separate, designated fund connected to the overall membership organization, a non-connected PAC is essentially a stand-alone organization.

		U.S. companies may be fueling human rights violations and operating in a virtually rules-free zone in the "war on terror." Private military contractors (PMCs), many with multi-million dollar government contracts, have been accused of engaging in sexual abuse and torture, and implicated in hundreds of shootings at Iraqi civilians.

		Situations raising human rights and environmental concerns often involve the unfair distribution of the costs of ecological damage and unequal access to benefits derived from a clean environment.
		To help defend these human rights, including the right to organize to protect the environment and the right to have access to full and accurate information about the environment in which one lives, public awareness of oppressive conditions must be raised in the U.S. and throughout the world.
		International pressure must be brought to bear on the governments who commit such human rights violations, as well as on the multinational companies that operate in these countries.
