	HLS: News: Sadako Ogata named as the 2005 Great Negotiator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Ogata is known for mobilizing support to deal with the emerging crisis of those identified as “internally displaced persons” in the Kurdish region of Iraq, the Balkans, Afghanistan and the African Great Lakes region, which encompasses the borders of Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
		Ogata’s first direct contact with refugees was when she was asked by the Japanese government to lead the Japanese mission to plan and provide assistance to Cambodian refugees in 1979.
		Described by colleagues as a five-foot giant, the diminutive Ogata was a formidable negotiator often having to deal with the indifference of governments, or confront the hostility of armed factions with which she was seeking cooperation.

	Sadako Ogata discusses humanitarian assistance during war and peace :6/03
		An important lesson Ogata learned during her tenure at the U.N. High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) is the extent to which the location of a conflict counts.
		Ogata recalled that an African president accused the international community of employing a double standard for sending more assistance to the Balkans even though the fighting in central Africa had created millions more victims.
		Although Ogata noted that "the genocide in Rwanda marked another catastrophic betrayal by the international community to prevent massive killings and outflows of refugees," she added that African leaders must become more serious about guaranteeing the security of their own people and implementing better measures to resolve conflicts.

		OGATA: But from the very beginning, my office was set up by General Assembly resolution in 1950, and then there was a statute, a convention on the protection of refugees which was adopted the next year.
		OGATA: Well there are long-standing refugees, for example, in the Horn of Africa where there has been fighting between the Ethiopians, Somalis, and there are some nomadic people who move from one country to another, depending on the problems that exist.

	the ringworld - faq - original Japanese series
		The famous premise of the movie, that Sadako lurches out of television screens to claim her victims, was the brainchild of screenwriter Takahashi Hiroshi and director Nakata (in the novel, victims experience anxiety, tightening of the chest, and a hallucination of themselves horribly aged -- no Sadako).
		Via her paranormal abilities, Sadako was able to combine her own genetic material with that of the smallpox virus, creating an invasive mechanism capable of transmitting her DNA to the host/victim.
		Toward the end of the film, the good Sadako is assaulted by the other members of her acting troupe and is for all intents and purposes dead...but revives once in proximity of her other half.
