Universal announcement of Human proprietary

Looking ahead to the inauguration of a new president of the United States, I began mental about what sort of world we might want to create, and the initiatives we must undertake in order to see that vision become reality.

From my perspective it seemed logical that ensuring basic human ownership for every person on the planet needs to happen first. But the topic of human ownership is quite broad in its nature, and I wondered if everyone's definition of human ownership was the same. While the conference has gone on for thousands of years, my explore brought me to a fairly recent definition - one that was agreed to by world leaders after World War Ii and shortly after the birth of the United Nations.

Founded in 1945 with just 51 primary members, the United Nations has grown to contain 192 members and has involved itself in a long list of international situations while that time. Peacekeeping troops have operated in many countries, witnessing countless acts of violence and dealing with extremes of poverty, communal injustice and hunger. Though providing a certain work on in these arenas of conflict, the Un has met with mixed success in their charter to maintain peace.

Much has changed since 1945. Millions have died in countless conflicts, 80 nations once under colonial rule have gained their independence and joined the Un, while other countries have been birthed and borders redrawn. The demise of the Ussr greatly altered that region's landscape.

The Foundation of Human Rights

It's difficult to fathom the wars, conflicts, invasions, genocides, torture, abuse and neglect which have ravaged our global society after reading The Universal proclamation of Human Rights. Adopted by the United Nations when the club was just 3 years old, this important document set the stage for how governments and their citizens were 'supposed' to treat each other. Unfortunately the objectives contained within have repeatedly been ignored by world leaders of industrialized and developing nations alike. It would seem that those who are tasked with upholding the 30 articles simply pick and pick what they wish to consequent and under what circumstances.

While commentary can categorically be written on each of the articles, I've chosen a opt few to reflect upon in light of events that are ongoing or have occurred in the recent past. Those living in the Western world are, for the most part, shielded from the pain and suffering that exists for the millions whose ownership have been denied. The closest we get to experiencing their plight is watching a few minutes of television coverage. But the real photograph is not a pretty one, and despite the efforts of both government and non-government agencies, there doesn't appear to be any relief in sight.

Article #1 States: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with intuit and conscience and should act towards one someone else in a spirit of brotherhood."

Any reveal of the violence which continues to be wagged in discrete parts of the world would note the fact that our capability to act 'in a spirit of brotherhood' has been seriously compromised. And all too often governments only give lip service to the crisis, contribution communal condemnations and a dose of back-room diplomacy. Current events in the Democratic Republic of Congo attest to that, with the death toll now approaching 6 million.

Article #3 States: "Everyone has the right to life, freedom and safety of person."

The most troubling aspect of war, even when the activity is commonly deemed to be justified, relates to the innocent habitancy who are the unwilling victims such conflict. We are often told 'that's the price of freedom', or the deaths are categorized as 'unintended consequences' or the more coarse 'collateral damage', as though creating a more sanitized label makes it any less tragic. Over 100,000 civilians have died in Iraq since the invasion began, and though it is difficult to accurately collate the supplementary connected deaths from disease, starvation and other causes, it is likely that an equal whole have died in this manner.

Article #5 States: "No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading medicine or punishment."

Simple in concept, yet we witnessed the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, and acts of torture and abuse within the walls of the Abu Ghraib prison in 2003 shocked the world. But most incidents of torture go unreported, as they are committed under a veil of secrecy. extraordinary Rendition is one such custom engaged in by the United States government while the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and it represents a flagrant violation of internationally agreed upon human rights.

Article #9 States: "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile."

Yet this is such a coarse question in many countries, from Russia to China to Pakistan. The most renowned example at present involves the Guantanamo Bay detention camp and the imprisonment of detainees without charges being filed. The location was chosen due to the fact that it is exterior of Us legal jurisdiction, and the prisoners were classified as 'enemy combatants' to deny them the ownership in case,granted to Pows under the Geneva convention. This legal no man's land has become a human ownership black hole.

Article #10 States: "Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and communal hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the measurement of his ownership and obligations and of any criminal charge against him."

Once again, the list of countries that violate this basic right is very long, and by its very nature, illegal imprisonment normally involves a denial of the right to a fair hearing. Saddam Hussein used the very same Abu Ghraib prison to house thousands of political prisoners. Denied entrance to an impartial tribunal, many were executed without so much as a permissible trail.

Article #19 States: "Everyone has the right to free time of plan and expression; this right includes free time to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and reveal data and ideas straight through any media and regardless of frontiers."

Suppression of free speech occurs in most of the developing world to one extent or another, but is also widely practiced in industrialized countries. China, Russia and Pakistan once again make that list, while Robert Mugabe's blatant campaign of violence and intimidation was used to commit choosing fraud in Zimbabwe. Blog censorship has also become a major problem, as many countries struggle with their citizen's new found capability to reveal exterior the primary channels of television, radio and newspaper - channels that could be categorically controlled in the past.

Article #28 States: "Everyone is entitled to a communal and international order in which the ownership and freedoms set forth in this proclamation can be full realized."

The United Nations was intended to be the body which ensures the existence of this communal and international order, yet that goal has remained elusive for these 63 years. When major violations of basic human ownership are committed by the members of the United Nations safety Council, it is unwise to assume that the Un will be the club to pursue violations of this article.

The Role of the United States

It is not realistic to assume the United States will solve this dilemma alone, nor should it assume sole responsibility, as this issue of human ownership includes every person and will need all governments and organizations to participate. But America has an occasion to play a special role, not only because it has the world's largest economic and organizational skill set, but because of its capability to rally keep for causes and play a leadership role that will maximize the efforts undertaken.

Come January 20, 2009, this must be a priority of the new supervision - to once again claim the moral high ground with respect to upholding and promoting the articles as set forth in the Universal proclamation of Human Rights, and to be the leader that the world needs at such a precarious time in its history. There is much work to be done in order to remedy our past missteps, but that needs to happen before meaningful expand can be made, and the world can't wait much longer.

Learn About Central Asian Republics, Emerging Asian Nations - Book quote

One of the most interesting regions of the world is Central Asia. And it is interesting because Americans don't know a whole lot about this area, even though so much early history had been written there. Think the old silk roads, Genghis Khan, and the rise of the Ussr. Remember the Domino effect? So, what are the Central Asian republics? Do you even know, and I bet you can't spell them, but maybe you should learn?

Yes, I'm referring to you Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. You may not perceive this, but recently a pipeline has been put straight through many of these countries and now has been completed and goes straight through the back door to China. And there has been civil unrest, and the overthrow of the government of one of these countries recently. And a merge of them border Afghanistan, which I think we all know little bit more about that we did 10 years ago.

South Kyrgyzstan

Still, if you'd like to learn more, and I believe you should, then there's a very good book that you should read, it is a book that I own, and I advise to you. The name of the book is;

"Central Asian Republics" (Nations in Transition Series) by Michael Kort, Facts on File Publishers, New York, Ny, (2004), 200 pages, Isbn: 0-8160-5074-0.

Interestingly enough, this book written by Michael Kort and is very well written, and it makes sense because the author holds a PhD from Boston University, and he is a historian, and also an author of "The Soviet Colossus: A History of the Ussr," and, he is the co-author of "Modernization and Revolution in China," which is also sitting next to my desk to read in the future. If it's everywhere close to as good as this book, I would Think it a must read.

Now then, in this book you will find out what scintillation is, and how it came into existence from ancient times to the 19th century. You will also learn how the Soviets came into control this region, and how they were kicked out reclaims their independence, and now we've come to be trading partners with their neighbors. Part two of this book is very perfect because it has exact chapters on each personel country, and there is a great chronological table of events.

If you're going to talk about the future of that region, and how things are shaping up with China, Afghanistan, Turkey, and the Soviet Union, and what the United States role is in retention the peace, then you need to make sure you have your facts straight, and therefore I very advise this book. Please Think all this.

Universal notification of Human possession

Looking ahead to the inauguration of a new president of the United States, I began reasoning about what sort of world we might want to create, and the initiatives we must undertake in order to see that foresight become reality.

From my perspective it seemed logical that ensuring basic human possession for everyone on the planet needs to happen first. But the topic of human possession is quite broad in its nature, and I wondered if everyone's definition of human possession was the same. While the consulation has gone on for thousands of years, my explore brought me to a fairly up-to-date definition - one that was agreed to by world leaders after World War Ii and shortly after the birth of the United Nations.

Founded in 1945 with just 51 customary members, the United Nations has grown to contain 192 members and has complex itself in a long list of international situations during that time.

Though providing a sure influence in these arenas of conflict, the Un has met with mixed success in their hire to allege peace.

The Foundation of Human Rights

It's difficult to fathom the wars, conflicts, invasions, genocides, torture, abuse and neglect which have ravaged our global community after reading The Universal declaration of Human Rights. Adopted by the United Nations when the organization was just 3 years old, this prominent document set the stage for how governments and their citizens were 'supposed' to treat each other. Unfortunately the objectives contained within have repeatedly been ignored by world leaders of industrialized and developing nations alike. It would seem that those who are tasked with upholding the 30 articles simply pick and choose what they wish to corollary and under what circumstances.

While criticism can honestly be written on each of the articles, I've chosen a make your mind up few to reflect upon in light of events that are ongoing or have occurred in the up-to-date past. Those living in the Western world are, for the most part, shielded from the pain and suffering that exists for the millions whose possession have been denied. The closest we get to experiencing their plight is watching a few minutes of television coverage. But the real photograph is not a pretty one, and despite the efforts of both government and non-government agencies, there doesn't appear to be any relief in sight.

Article #1 States: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reckon and conscience and should act towards one someone else in a spirit of brotherhood."

Any enumerate of the violence which continues to be wagged in assorted parts of the world would note the fact that our ability to act 'in a spirit of brotherhood' has been seriously compromised. And all too often governments only give lip assistance to the crisis, offering communal condemnations and a dose of back-room diplomacy. Current events in the Democratic Republic of Congo attest to that, with the death toll now approaching 6 million.

Article #3 States: "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and safety of person."

The most troubling aspect of war, even when the action is commonly deemed to be justified, relates to the innocent population who are the unwilling victims such conflict. We are often told 'that's the price of freedom', or the deaths are categorized as 'unintended consequences' or the more coarse 'collateral damage', as though creating a more sanitized label makes it any less tragic. Over 100,000 civilians have died in Iraq since the invasion began, and though it is difficult to accurately correlate the further connected deaths from disease, starvation and other causes, it is likely that an equal whole have died in this manner.

Article #5 States: "No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading rehabilitation or punishment."

Simple in concept, yet we witnessed the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, and acts of torture and abuse within the walls of the Abu Ghraib prison in 2003 shocked the world. But most incidents of torture go unreported, as they are committed under a veil of secrecy. breathtaking Rendition is one such institution engaged in by the United States government during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and it represents a flagrant violation of internationally agreed upon human rights.

Article #9 States: "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile."

Yet this is such a coarse question in many countries, from Russia to China to Pakistan. The most sublime example at gift involves the Guantanamo Bay detention camp and the imprisonment of detainees without charges being filed. The location was chosen due to the fact that it is covering of Us legal jurisdiction, and the prisoners were classified as 'enemy combatants' to deny them the possession provided to Pows under the Geneva convention. This legal no man's land has become a human possession black hole.

Article #10 States: "Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and communal hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the estimation of his possession and obligations and of any criminal fee against him."

Once again, the list of countries that violate this basic right is very long, and by its very nature, illegal imprisonment ordinarily involves a denial of the right to a fair hearing. Saddam Hussein used the very same Abu Ghraib prison to house thousands of political prisoners. Denied way to an impartial tribunal, many were executed without so much as a allowable trail.

Article #19 States: "Everyone has the right to leisure of conception and expression; this right includes leisure to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and enumerate information and ideas straight through any media and regardless of frontiers."

Suppression of free speech occurs in most of the developing world to one extent or another, but is also widely practiced in industrialized countries. China, Russia and Pakistan once again make that list, while Robert Mugabe's blatant campaign of violence and intimidation was used to commit choice fraud in Zimbabwe. Blog censorship has also become a major problem, as many countries struggle with their citizen's new found ability to enumerate covering the customary channels of television, radio and newspaper - channels that could be honestly controlled in the past.

Article #28 States: "Everyone is entitled to a communal and international order in which the possession and freedoms set forth in this declaration can be full realized."

The United Nations was intended to be the body which ensures the existence of this communal and international order, yet that goal has remained elusive for these 63 years. When major violations of basic human possession are committed by the members of the United Nations safety Council, it is unwise to assume that the Un will be the organization to pursue violations of this article.

The Role of the United States

It is not realistic to assume the United States will solve this dilemma alone, nor should it assume sole responsibility, as this issue of human possession includes everyone and will need all governments and organizations to participate. But America has an opportunity to play a special role, not only because it has the world's largest economic and organizational skill set, but because of its ability to rally support for causes and play a leadership role that will maximize the efforts undertaken.

Come January 20, 2009, this must be a priority of the new management - to once again claim the moral high ground with respect to upholding and promoting the articles as set forth in the Universal declaration of Human Rights, and to be the leader that the world needs at such a precarious time in its history. There is much work to be done in order to remedy our past missteps, but that needs to happen before meaningful enlarge can be made, and the world can't wait much longer.

Saddam Hussein used the very same Abu Ghraib prison to house thousands of political prisoners. Denied passage to an impartial tribunal, many were executed without so much as a permissible trail.

Article #19 States: "Everyone has the right to relaxation of understanding and expression; this right includes relaxation to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and quote data and ideas straight through any media and regardless of frontiers."

Suppression of free speech occurs in most of the developing world to one extent or another, but is also widely practiced in industrialized countries. China, Russia and Pakistan once again make that list, while Robert Mugabe's blatant campaign of violence and intimidation was used to commit determination fraud in Zimbabwe. Blog censorship has also come to be a major problem, as many countries struggle with their citizen's new found ability to quote outside the original channels of television, radio and newspaper - channels that could be actually controlled in the past.

Article #28 States: "Everyone is entitled to a collective and international order in which the rights and freedoms set forth in this announcement can be full realized."

The United Nations was intended to be the body which ensures the existence of this collective and international order, yet that goal has remained elusive for these 63 years. When major violations of basic human rights are committed by the members of the United Nations security Council, it is unwise to assume that the Un will be the assosication to pursue violations of this article.

The Role of the United States

It is not realistic to assume the United States will solve this dilemma alone, nor should it assume sole responsibility, as this issue of human rights includes every person and will require all governments and organizations to participate. But America has an opportunity to play a special role, not only because it has the world's largest economic and organizational skill set, but because of its ability to rally hold for causes and play a leadership role that will maximize the efforts undertaken.

Come January 20, 2009, this must be a priority of the new supervision - to once again claim the moral high ground with respect to upholding and promoting the articles as set forth in the Universal announcement of Human Rights, and to be the leader that the world needs at such a precarious time in its history. There is much work to be done in order to remedy our past missteps, but that needs to happen before meaningful progress can be made, and the world can't wait much longer.

How do we achieve this difficult goal of providing Universal Human Rights?
