		Seven of the Human Rights Provincial Boards, which were set up to protect human rights and both prevent and investigate violations of these rights, have not received any applications from anybody, and these seven boards are all in the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey, the Anatolia news agency reported yesterday.

		The Committee regrets that, unless a right under the Covenant is implicitly or explicitly protected by the Charter through federal-provincial agreements, or incorporated directly in provincial law, there is no legal redress available to either an aggrieved individual or the Federal Government where provinces have failed to implement the Covenant.
		Provincial governments have urged upon their courts in these cases an interpretation of the Charter which would deny any protection of Covenant rights and consequently leave the complainants without the basic necessities of life and without any legal remedy.
		The Committee urges the federal, provincial and territorial governments to adopt positions in litigation which are consistent with their obligation to uphold the rights recognized in the Covenant.

	Yemen Gateway: party law - a comparative perspective
		In Yemen a party is granted legal status by the approval of the Committee for the Affairs of Parties and Political Organisations (CAPPO), which consists of the Minister of Legal and Parliamentary Affairs as chairman, the Ministers of the Interior and Justice as members, and four non-partisans who must be either retired judges or lawyers.
		Parties are associations oriented to the formation of political opinion at Federal or Land level and to participation in the representation of the people in the Federal Parliament (Bundstag) or Regional Parliaments (Landtag).
		Party or political organisation: any group of Yemenis organised according to common principles and objectives based on constitutional legitimacy, who exercise political and democratic activities with the aim of achieving the transfer of power or sharing thereof using peaceful means.

	Human Rights First \| Middle East - Egypt
		The human rights movement began in Egypt in the mid-1980s as former senior government officials and former activists from the student movement of the 1960s and 1970s looked for a new direction to put the country on a path towards economic, social and cultural development.
		First, human rights groups were accused of acting against the national interest, and of being in the pay of foreign powers-a direct reference to the movement's dependence on foreign funding.
		The suppression of the human rights movement is of a piece with its long-standing policy of suppressing political opposition of all kinds.

	Legislating for property rights in fisheries
		Rights themselves are viewed differently by economists and lawyers: economic rights are the end sought, whereas legal rights are the means of achieving the end.
		Exclusivity, the right to hold and manage property without external interference, is guaranteed by the state as against other private individuals by a system of trespassory rules in the form of monitoring and enforcement provisions.
		Rights in fisheries are creatures of statute and the state can intervene only subject to legal or constitutional guarantees of just compensation.

	How Preston Manning Missed the Wave (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Second, Canadian political history has shown repeatedly that a protest party that does not win power somewhere fairly soon after it bursts onto the scene will not be around very long to "wait for the wave." It will soon begin to atrophy as its leaders and its supporters in the electorate get discouraged.
		Third parties have formed governments in every Canadian province west of New Brunswick, giving supporters of those parties a very tangible sign that a vote for that party is not wasted.
		By refusing to enter provincial politics, Reform squandered an incredible opportunity to build a serious power base, create a sense of political momentum and allow its partisans to have undivided party loyalties at the federal and provincial levels.

		Party and political leaders were known to instruct courts and judges on the handling of individual cases.
		Criminal punishments could include "deprivation of political rights" for a fixed period after release from prison, during which the individual is denied the already limited rights of free speech and association granted to other citizens.

		A party or witness in any proceedings who does not understand or speak the language in which the proceedings are conducted or who is deaf has the right to the assistance of an interpreter.

	Afghanistan: Campaigning Against Fear (Human Rights Watch, 15-9-2005)
		However, Human Rights Watch’s new report, Afghanistan on the Eve of Parliamentary and Provincial Elections, documents an underlying climate of fear among many voters and candidates, especially in remote, rural areas—an atmosphere that has negatively impacted the political environment in the lead-up to the elections.
		Human Rights Watch condemned Taliban forces and other militias under Gulbuddin Hekmatyar for their armed attacks on election workers, candidates and other civilians—including Islamic clerics who spoke in favor of the government or the election process.
		Human Rights Watch said that voters and candidates in many areas were also intimidated by ongoing human rights abuses and repression by warlords and local strongmen, compounded by decades of political instability and violence.

		Note: The following is a publication of the Freedom Party of Ontario, which is a registered political party in the province of Ontario, and an affiliate of Freedom Party International.
		Metz stated he was not surprised that Elections Ontario has, in its dealing with the alternative parties, "regulated (them) to the point of ineffectuality." Metz fears the same fate for any group, other than the major political parties, involved in any referenda.
		For example, it is unclear if a referendum issue, if passed by the electorate obligates all parties to support the change, only the government party to support the bill, or even if local MPPs would support or oppose the bill based on riding results.

	The Honourable Sir Frederick W.A.G. Haultain, 1897-1905

		In the party’s current Impact newsletter, leader Giuseppe Gori says the FCP opposes the great “moral evils” of abortion and same-sex “marriage.” But, he adds that the FCP is more than a single-issue party.
		Instead, the Family Coalition Party is a party that aims to strengthen the family in all areas of provincial jurisdiction, because the family is the fundamental building block of society and the government can never replace the family.”
		The PC Party feels abortion is a "matter of individual conscience" but strongly intimidates any caucus members who attempt to bring forward even the mildest changes to the status quo.

		Its argument was that NWFP, or Pakhtunkhwa as ANP activists prefer to call it, had the first right over the electricity produced by it and, therefore, its people deserved subsidised tariff for consumption of energy in their homes.

		By failing to honour the award given by a neutral and mutually agreed arbitration tribunal headed by the respected former chief justice of Pakistan, Justice Ajmal Mian, the centre would be sending the wrong signal and sowing the seeds of discord in the federation.

		Although Kim Jong Il's Communist government is the world's worst human rights violator, the United States, Japan and South Korea have managed to exclude all reference to humanitarian and human rights concerns from the discussions.
		Their fear is that any mention of the 200,000 political prisoners in forced labor camps, the suppression of the population's civil and political freedoms or the punishment meted out to those who try to flee the country would antagonize the North Korean government and jeopardize chances for a nuclear agreement.
		Human rights and humanitarian issues should be brought in as well.

	Human Rights Watch: News Releases
		In this 40-page briefing paper, Human Rights Watch analyzes how the Turkish government is failing to provide fair compensation for hundreds of thousands of mainly Kurdish villagers displaced by the military’s brutal counterinsurgency campaigns in the southeast.
		Although a compensation law aimed at providing fair and appropriate redress to the displaced was adopted by the Turkish parliament in 2004, provincial assessment commissions have arbitrarily and unjustly reduced compensation amounts or denied compensation altogether to those displaced during counterinsurgency operations in the 1980s and 1990s.
		Human Rights Watch warned that the former ruling party could use the abusive force for political purposes prior to elections slated for January 23, 2007.
