Extractions: Africa Americas Asia Europe ... Mideast International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (December 10, 1998) Soon after the United Nations was formed in 1945, representatives from several countries discussed the idea of an international bill of human rights. A special committee, created in 1947, began preparing two documents: a declaration, which would set forth general principles of human rights, and a covenant, which would define specific rights and their limitations. Out of this committees work came three documents that are now referred to as the International Bill on Human Rights: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). The ICCPR, which appears below, was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1966. This document contains two Optional Protocols. The first Optional Protocol allows alleged victims of human rights abuses to petition the Human Rights Committee set up under the Covenant. The

http://straitstimes.asia1.com.sg/women/issues/0,3516,140700,00.html

Extractions: Calls for peace, political clout mark Intl Women's Day in Asia KABUL Calls for peace, political clout and workplace protection were trumpeted across Asia on Saturday as thousands celebrated International Women's Day. More than 3,000 women attended a conference in the Afghan capital of Kabul at a tented venue that played host to last year's Loya Jirga Afghan grand assembly, at which women enjoyed their first political representation in 17 years. President Hamid Karzai, who failed to attend the conference as previously scheduled, voiced his support for greater freedoms in a written address delivered in his absence. He said: 'Women ... have suffered more than everybody else over the past two decades and they deserve being given their rights. 'Moving towards the creation of a civilised society is impossible without the active participation of women.' A lack of attention to women's political rights, health concerns, basic literacy needs and protection from abuse are not endemic to Afghanistan, however, as women from Indonesia to Thailand sought to highlight on Saturday.

Extractions: Distinguished Co-Chairmen President Buyoya and Jacques Loup, Honorable Members of the Burundian Delegation, Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen: On behalf of the Government of the United States, I would like to thank the Government of Burundi and the United Nations for sponsoring this international donor conference on Burundi. This forum has provided an important opportunity to exchange views, to discuss vital issues and to coordinate plans for helping Burundi promote stability and security, democracy, reconciliation and development. The United States also would like to express its appreciation for the extraordinary efforts of the Facilitator of the Burundi peace process, Nelson Mandela, who has done so much to promote peace and reconciliation in Burundi. The United States has supported and will continue to lend its full support to the Burundi peace process. We would like to congratulate all of the parties to the Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement on the November 1 installation of the transitional government. We are heartened by the efforts of the Burundians, with the support of the international community, to implement the Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement and to abide by its terms, as well as Burundi's macro-economic progress in the face of substantial constraints. We also want to recognize and fully support the South African Government in its efforts to assist Burundi through the provision of a Special Protection Unit to protect returning opposition leaders participating in the transitional government.
