	Human Rights
		Examples of human rights are the right to freedom of religion, the right to a fair trial when charged with a crime, the right not to be tortured, and the right to engage in political activity.
		The main sources of the contemporary conception of human rights are the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (United Nations, 1948b) and the many human rights documents and treaties that followed in international organizations such as the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the Organization of American States, and the African Union.
		Rawls says that human rights "specify limits to a regime's internal autonomy" and that "their fulfillment is sufficient to exclude justified and forceful intervention by other peoples, for example, by diplomatic and economic sanctions, or in grave cases by military force" (Rawls 1999, 79-80).

	The Right Coast: "Human Rights Watch" Watch 2Maimon Schwarzschild
		I've met one senior Human Rights Watch officer at several symposia in New York over the past few months, and I was genuinely taken aback at her visceral hatred not only for George Bush (that's to be taken for granted in these circles) but for the US more generally.
		I don't know about the CIA's human rights report, since I imagine they can collate their own data, but much of the content of the UK foreign office's annual HR report is based on information obtained by AI and HRW.
		These are considerations for governments: human rights organisations exist to highlight human rights violations regardless of whether they are committed by democracies or terrorist groups.

		There are numerous sources of instability in the region: internal turmoil in Serbia, the West's pursuit of 'war criminals', and the West's keenness to withdraw its troops.

	Human Rights First \| Us Law & Security \| Torture: Quick Facts
		At least 51 detainees have died in U.S. custody since Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld was informed of the abuses at Abu Ghraib on January 16, 2004;
		The total number of deaths Human Rights First counts is 141; this number includes 38 detainees who died when their detention facilities were struck by mortar attacks, and five deaths of detainees killed in U.S. custody by other detainees.
		While these latter 43 deaths are of concern – and appear to be in part a reflection of poor operational decisions, noted by former Defense Secretary James Schlesinger, to house detainees in areas of active danger – they were not a function of interrogation or detention policy or practice.

	International Campaigns: Nigeria - Human Rights - Sierra Club
		On September 12th 1998 troops of the Rivers State Internal Security Task Force (RVSISTF) [1] stationed at road-checks across occupied Ogoni since 1993 - and routinely engaged in extortion and harassment of Ogoni people - were returned to three military camps maintained in the region.
		Although the human rights crisis in Ogoni has improved significantly in recent months, violence has spread across other oil producing areas in the rest of the Niger Delta.
		According to community leaders this unrest is a direct result of the growing poverty in the Delta, caused by the lack of economic and social development and the unjust allocation of oil revenues.

		One lawmaker said he was shocked that a federal agency charged with protecting the rights of Americans workers would go to such lengths to block the public from seeing its own contractor's concerns before Congress votes on the agreement.
		For them, the issue isn't one of civil rights, because the term implies something inherent in the individual -- being fl, say, or a woman -- and they deny that homosexuality is inherent.
		Right wingers and their sycophants despise being confronted with truth, which is understandable given that it reflects so negatively upon them.
