"President Thabo Mbeki should use the opening of the 2003 parliamentary session tomorrow to announce a program of reparations for victims and to renounce any possibility of a further amnesty," the organizations urged. In their briefing paper, Truth and Justice: Unfinished Business in South Africa , the two organizations also called on the South African government to ensure swift public release of the two outstanding volumes of the TRC's report and to strengthen the unit responsible for prosecutions of apartheid-era crimes. "There can be no further justification for the government to delay implementing a reparations program, as has been urged for so long by civil society organizations in South Africa," Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch said. >>

http://www.dredf.org/P2Pbook.html

Extractions: This volume describes the extraordinary success of the international political movement of people with disabilities to include disability as a human rights issue. The authors are renowned disability rights attorneys, university professors, and activists who practice, teach, and work internationally. The collection begins with a survey of international, comparative, and regional disability law reforms. It sets the stage for the Principles, an exploration of theoretical problems and issues that must be addressed if disability legislation is to have the desired impact. Topics include the challenge of defining disability; the role of prejudice in conceptualizing rights-based laws; theories of equality as they relate to disability; the dissonance between social welfare and civil rights approaches to disability; and the use of international human rights and other laws to challenge institutionalization and advance community integration.

http://www.ansafrica.org/

Extractions: Who We Are Artists for a New South Africa (ANSA) is a non-profit organization founded and supported by artists, activists and others dedicated to furthering democracy and equality in South Africa and civil rights in the U.S. Originally called Artists for a Free South Africa (AFSA) and founded in 1989 by Alfre Woodard, Blair Underwood, Danny Glover, Mary Steenburgen, CCH Pounder, Robert Guillaume and other artists, activists and friends, ANSA's initial goal was to support South Africa's quest for freedom. ANSA now works to help eradicate the inequities that are apartheid's legacy, while strengthening the bonds between our two nations and addressing related issues of social justice here in the U.S. ANSA is also helping to combat the AIDS pandemic, which is spreading more rapidly and affects more people in South Africa than anywhere else in the world. As the situation in South Africa has changed, ANSA has altered its focus to respond to the pressing needs of each new phase. With the approach of South Africa's first democratic elections in 1994, ANSA concentrated on voter education, working alongside grassroots organizations to help reach millions who had never before been allowed to cast ballots. In one of history's great triumphs, apartheid was replaced by a stable multi-party democracy and the world's most far-reaching Bill of Rights. Yet in many ways, the real work of alleviating the suffering and solving the problems created by centuries of discrimination has just begun.

Extractions: By Heather Allen/ Campus Editor Who: Colorado Supreme Court Justice Gregory Kellam Scott What: "Judicial Independence: Lifeblood of the Civil Rights Era and Today's Emerging Third World Nation States" When: 7:45 p.m.,Feb. 17 Where: LS 116 On his way to the National Summit on Africa's Dialogue and Celebration of Africa in Washington D.C., Justice Gregory Kellam Scott, a 1977 honor graduate of the law school will return to his almamatur to discuss with law students importance of roles they will have as future lawyers in maintaining American freedoms. "The real power of the American judicial system still rests with the people...and the people are represented by lawyers," said Scott, who was also a visiting professor at the IU School of Law-Indianapolis. During "Judicial Independence: Lifeblood of the Civil Rights Era and Today's Emerging Third World Nation States," the Colorado Supreme Court justice will draw analogies from the American Civil Rights experience and the struggles within emerging African nation states. "In looking at African nations, those countries with a strong judiciary system are also countries that provide great liberties to their citizens...analogies certainly can be drawn to the integration of African-Americans to full citizenship and the role of the courts in the civil rights era," said Scott, also a member of the board of directors of the Constituency for Africa, a non-governmental organization that seeks to increase American's understanding of America's foreign policy regarding African nation states.

http://www.internetcampus.com/intmed.htm

Extractions: by Ron Whittaker B ecause of satellite links which now enable broadcast news organizations to originate live programming from any part of the globe, the entire world is becoming one, giant sound stage for television news. As a result, Marshall McLuhan's reference to the post-television world as being a single "global village" is gaining new credence and Shakespeare's famous line, "all the world's a stage," has taken on an interesting new twist in meaning. But, beyond the philosophical dimensions of global television communications there are some dramatic, political implications. Even before today's worldwide satellite links were possible, the growing effect of broadcast news technology on national and international politics was becoming increasingly evident. A Quick Look Back B ecause television is a closeup medium and a medium that seems to most readily involve emotions, it is most effective when it is revealing the plights of people. It was probably the appalling footage of the Nazi death camps that first demonstrated the power of motion pictures and television to affect the collective consciousness of a world audience.

Andrew During your years involved in politics, what degree of awareness did you have about the occurrences in the U.S. and the American civil rights movement? Jenna and Erin I came into politics in my late teens during the 1950s. This was a time when the Cold War was at its most vicious. We followed events in the USA very closely. Paul Robeson, the singer, was a great hero to many of us. We had pictures of him on our walls, and I used the fact that I could sing with a bass voice, "I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night" to join in our sing songs. We also use to play Pete Seeger and a friend of mine could even recite all the words of "Talking Union." Come to think of it, Robeson's song, "I am an American,"
