2008 Report: Democracy Charade Undermines Rights
Human Rights Watch Highlights Abuses in Pakistan, Kenya, China, Somalia

(Washington, DC, January 31, 2008) – The established democracies are accepting flawed and unfair elections for political expediency, Human Rights Watch said today in releasing its World Report 2008. By allowing autocrats to pose as democrats, without demanding they uphold the civil and political rights that make democracy meaningful, the United States, the European Union and other influential democracies risk undermining human rights worldwide.
..States claiming the mantle of democracy, including Kenya and Pakistan, should guarantee the human rights that are central to it, including the rights to free expression, assembly and association, as well as free and fair elections. But in 2007 too many governments, including Bahrain, Jordan, Nigeria, Russia and Thailand, acted as if simply holding a vote is enough to prove a nation “democratic,” and Washington, Brussels and European capitals played along, Human Rights Watch said.


US Diplomats Sometimes Go Off-Message
 
By MATTHEW LEE –

WASHINGTON (AP) — More and more, top government diplomats are straying from official Bush foreign policy as the administration wanes, leaving Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice struggling to keep them in check

McCormack was also busy this week trying to tamp down possible repercussions from comments made Wednesday by the top U.S. envoy for Africa, Jendayi Frazer. She had spoken of "ethnic cleansing" in Kenyan violence.

He took great pains to distance the administration from the term, refusing to repeat the words "ethnic cleansing," which many regard as a precursor to "genocide," in reference to the violence in Kenya that has claimed more than 800 lives and displaced tens of thousands in the past three weeks.

McCormack acknowledged that the situation in Kenya was of great concern and said some violent incidents and displacements appeared to be driven by ethnicity, but he also said it was too early to characterize the situation in such terms. He indicated that Frazer, the assistant secretary of state for African affairs, had been speaking for herself.

"She made some comments based on her firsthand assessment from a trip several weeks ago," McCormack told reporters. Asked if the Bush administration shared Frazer's assessment, he replied: "She said what she said. I am going to stick to what I said."

Statement on UN Security Council Resolution 1798(2008)
By Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Feb 1, 2008, 15:19

Security Council Resolution 1798(2008) has no basis in either the Algiers Peace Agreement or the UN Charter. The Resolution dwells on tangential issues in an apparent desire to rationalise and justify the UN Security Council’s failure to shoulder its legal obligations to date. In the event, it will not advance the cause of legality and international justice. Resolution 1798(2008) will only contribute to a complication of the situation and is ultimately meant to serve the US agenda of “escalation and management of crises in the region”...full text

BERLIN — A growing legal controversy is threatening to discredit Luigi Falorni’s child soldier drama “Heart of Fire” a week before its premiere at Berlin Film Festival.

If the west was better informed about the war crimes and human rights abuses committed by Meles' military forces in Somalia and Ogaden, western taxpayers might balk at the thought that their governments are providing Ethiopia with hundreds of millions of dollars of military and economic aid.

And if western governments were more consistent and less selective in their reaction to human rights abuses around the world, they might be less inclined to turn a blind eye to Ethiopia's failure to abide by international norms in pursuit of its military objectives in Somalia and Ogaden.
