    Extractions: THE HAYWOOD BURNS CHAIR IN CIVIL RIGHTS Albie Sachs played a pivotal role in fighting apartheid and then in negotiating South Africa's new constitution. His work as a freedom fighter began in his student days at the University of Cape Town in South Africa in the 1950sdays of apartheid, indignity, and terrorwhen he became involved with the African National Congress. It was to be a life-long commitment. After earning his law degree for the University of Cape Town, Judge Sachs started a civil rights law practice in Cape Town in 1957. The author of many books (including The Soft Vengeance of a Freedom Fighter, recently published in the United States), he lives in Cape Town, South Africa, where he was born and raised. Dean Kristin Booth Glen commented, "We are delighted that Judge Sachs, an accomplished jurist, scholar, and writer will, as Burns Chair Holder, be able to share the wisdom from his distinguished career with our community." The Haywood Burns Chair in Civil Rights Haywood Burns, the Law School's second Dean, died tragically in an automobile accident in South Africa on April 2, 1996. In his memory CUNY School of Law established a Chair in Civil Rights to honor his legacy of a lifetime committed to equality and justice. The Chair is intended as a visiting position, enabling a succession of extraordinary people-lawyers, scholars, activists-to bring their experiences, wisdom and perspectives to ensure that civil rights remain part of the Law School's consciousness, and the consciousness of the large legal community that supports justice and equality. The Chair is funded by an endowment raised in Haywood's memory and a generous contribution from the New York State legislature.

It may be true that some countries have been driven to such depths of poverty and despair by corrupt, oppressive and brutal leaders that special aid and advice from the United States are required to kick-start development that otherwise would take many years to accomplish. It is also true that America has adopted protectionist measures that not only hurt our own economy but also throw up more obstacles to the developing world's efforts to modernize. Even the positive Africa Growth and Opportunity Act of 2000 contains American domestic content rules that restrict exports of the two value-added products Africans have, textiles and agricultural products.

Churches and mosques were attacked In addition to 215 bodies counted on the streets and in mortuaries, others were thought to have been buried by their families, Nigerian Red Cross president Emmanuel Ijewere was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency. He added that there had been more killings overnight, despite the curfew imposed on the city where security forces have been trying to contain the situation. The BBC's Yusuf Sarki Muhammad in Kaduna says the figures are credible and could even be on the low side.

    Extractions: Int'l Civil Liberties In 1948, still shaken by the horror of the holocaust, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a document which by its own terms represents "a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations." Since then, the world community has adopted other human rights treaties, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966), the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (1969), and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (1981). The ACLU supports the international struggle for human rights and works to ensure that the US government abides by the civil liberties principles embedded in the various conventions, covenants and declarations adopted by the international community. In November 2001 the ACLU took strong issue with the President’s Military Order which established military tribunals as the forum for the prosecution of accused terrorists implicated in the September 11 th attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. We argued that as a party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the US was obligated to adhere to its terms, and that the military tribunals envisioned by the President, which included the presentation of secret evidence, would run afoul of Article 14 of the ICCPR which provides that, "everyone shall be entitled to a fair and public hearing by a competent, independent and impartial tribunal established by law." In a letter to the Secretary of Defense, the ACLU wrote, "Responding to terrorist attacks with transgressions of basic rights under international law could exacerbate the terrorism problem and invite retaliation. We can avoid these problems by honoring our democratic principles and international legal obligations".

The emphasis will be on English-language materials, but the availability of resources in other languages is noted. II. Brief History The concepts of humanitarian intervention, self-determination, and providing relief to the wounded and other victims of armed conflicts can be viewed as the roots of human rights law. Modern international human rights law dates from World War II and its aftermath. The United Nations Charter (http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/instree/aunchart.htm), signed June 26, 1945, sought to acknowledge the importance of human rights and established it as a matter of international concern.

Civil society groups have been at the forefront in advancing ICT applications in various sectors, however the purpose of this workshop is to build knowledge and expertise of civil society organizations to engage ICT policy processes in Africa. According to Emmanuel Njenga Njuguna, APC's project coordinator, "Few civil society organizations are aware of the policy developments taking place at the global, regional and national levels that can impact on their ability and potential to use ICTs as a tool in their work, let alone own or control the production and application of these technologies locally. This workshop will help build people's awareness and capacity to understand ICT policy concepts, issues, and how these impact on their work and their communities."

    Extractions: Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents In 1958, an African-American handyman named Jimmy Wilson was sentenced to die in Alabama for stealing two dollars. Shocking as this sentence was, it was overturned only after intense international attention and the interference of an embarrassed John Foster Dulles. Soon after the United States' segregated military defeated a racist regime in World War II, American racism was a major concern of U.S. allies, a chief Soviet propaganda theme, and an obstacle to American Cold War goals throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Each lynching harmed foreign relations, and "the Negro problem" became a central issue in every administration from Truman to Johnson. In what may be the best analysis of how international relations affected any domestic issue, Mary Dudziak interprets postwar civil rights as a Cold War feature. She argues that the Cold War helped facilitate key social reforms, including desegregation. Civil rights activists gained tremendous advantage as the government sought to polish its international image. But improving the nation's reputation did not always require real change. This focus on image rather than substancecombined with constraints on McCarthy-era political activism and the triumph of law-and-order rhetoriclimited the nature and extent of progress.

After HRW released the briefing paper, Burundian authorities informed the United States that it would facilitate delivery of humanitarian aid to eastern Burundi.
