 On the night between the 12th and 13th of August 2008, we experienced an attack on our website that rendered it inaccessible for several hours. Latest reports indicated that the attack originated in Spain. Authorities will be contacted shortly.
Why somebody would target a Human Rights Group is beyond us. HumanRightsDefence has reason believe that the attack was not a targetted one, but instead was a wide spread, malicious attack that exploited a newly discovered vulnurability in our widely used Content Management System, targetting all websites that failed to install a security patch in time. We apologize for the inconveniences caused by the website attack and our subsequent downtime. We hope you will continue to support our efforts and visit us often.

 The UN Convention on the rights of the child 1989 is the most widely ratified convention except for the USA and Somalia. It states some basic principles such as the best interest of the child and the protection against discrimination.
This instrument makes a potentially powerful protection for the refugee child and even the child whose asylum claim has been rejected. However the power of that protection is diluted in the UK context because of the UK reservation to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1989. The UK does not agree to follow article 22 and 9 of the Convention and retains the right to apply its own National Immigration legislation. This would not be a concern if national law protected children more than the convention but this is not the case in the UK, on the contrary the reservation has severely limited children’s rights particularly for asylum seeking children.

 Yo creo que muchos estarán de acuerdo conmigo al decir que cometer crímenes no es la manera de manifestarse a favor de una ideología llámese como se llame y por crímenes me refiero a aquellos tipificados en cualquier legislación penal; como el homicidio, el secuestro etc.
En Colombia, el papel que desempeña la FARC en nombre de una mal llamada lucha ideológica o revolucionaria, lo único que ha demostrado en el caso del secuestro de legisladores, políticos y civiles, que están o han estado en su poder es que no tienen ningún respeto hacia las personas, el trato digno para con sus semejantes no les interesa y no creo que alguna vez haya pasado por su mente el dilema de pensar dos veces sobre ello.

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has a total population of: 22,803,409 people (1998) and the indigenous population represents 1.5% of this figure [1] This statistic means that the 32 indigenous communities that exist in Venezuela are also a numerical minority [2] and therefore, twice as vulnerable. The contemporary history of the relations between the Venezuelan State and the indigenous people was briefly described by the General Office of Indigenous Matters of the Educational, Culture and Sports Ministry of Venezuela [3] as “unaware of the indigenous people’s history, full of assimilation and integration policies from the State perspective and non recognition of the existence of another culture within the country"[4].

 El llamado de la Iglesia Católica para la introducción de permisos laborales en beneficio de los trabajadores que cuidan enfermos terminales, merece la consideración seria de todos los legisladores y de los gobiernos y es que como bien ha señalado el sumo Pontífice tan importante es estar cerca de nuestra familia en momentos felices como el nacimiento de un hijo, como en las últimas horas de vida de nuestros seres queridos.
Las organizaciones de Derechos Humanos deben unirse en eco para que sea una realidad jurídica a favor de los trabajadores y un derecho de estos la oportunidad de asistir a sus enfermos durante un período de tiempo que sea considerado justo y que el trabajador pueda ausentarse de su lugar de trabajo sin que ello implique la pérdida de su empleo. Si bien es cierto algunas legislaciones pueden considerar que cubren este tipo de permiso en la categoría de enfermedad, debe irse un poco más allá para un tratamiento especial de este tema.
