Bush has called the genocide in Sudan's Darfur region.The lawmakers charged that China, which buys much of Sudan's oil, has stood in the way of halting bloodshed in the western Sudanese region, but stopped short of joining calls to boycott the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing made by some politicians, activists and celebrities."China should act consistently with the Olympic standard of preserving human dignity in Darfur, Sudan and around the world," said the resolution passed by the House on a vote of 410-0.The resolution urged China to stop selling Sudan arms and suspend economic cooperation with Sudan until Sudan "stops its attacks on civilians" in Darfur and engages in negotiations with Darfur rebels to achieve a peace deal. moreTo stay up to date on the crisis in Darfur please visit Sudan Wat... | | By: Dyre Portents | | |
| | IRAN: Germany, EU Urges Belligerent Iran to Rethink Nuclear Program | | 2007-05-25 02:03:00 | | The German presidency of the EU on Thursday urged Iran to rethink its nuclear program after the UN atomic watchdog warned that Tehran could acquire nuclear weapons within three to eight years. "The presidency urgently appeals to Iran to reconsider its policy and to comply with the demands of the international community," the EU presidency said in statement. It said the European Union has taken note of the latest report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Iran with "great concern." In the report, IAEA director Mohamed ElBaradei accused Iran of failing to cooperate with his agency's inspectors and said that he agreed with US assessments that Iran could acquire nuclear weapons within the next decade. "In other words three to eight years from now," he said. The EU said the report confirmed that Iran has flouted two recent UN resolutions demanding that the Islamic republic suspend uranium enrichment, which is at the heart of its standoff with the West.

| | UN Torture Committee raises concerns over widespread abuses, condemns immunity for rape and torture, urges creation of special war crimes court | | 2006-11-27 07:18:00 | | In its conclusions on the initial report of Burundi, the Committee took note of the proposed amendments to Burundi's Penal Code, and of Burundi's intention to include articles prohibiting acts of torture, and other acts of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, including with regard to violence against women and children. Further, it acknowledged the delegation's statement that the Code of Criminal Procedure would be likewise revised over the course of 2007. The Committee welcomed the creation of the Ministry for National Solidarity, Human Rights and Gender, the Government Commission on Human Rights and the Centre for the Promotion of Human Rights and the Prevention of Genocide. The Committee remained concerned, however, by the lack of specific provisions in Burundi's Penal Code to define and criminalize torture, and the lack of clarity surrounding the status of the Convention in domestic law. It noted with concern that the rules concerning detention did not explicitly require that detainees be notified of their rights, and was alarmed by information received that torture was a widespread practice in Burundi and that, indeed, there had been hundreds of cases of torture committed between July 2005 and July 2006 – a fact which the State party did not contest. +In addition, it was extremely concerned by reports concerning a high number of forced disappearances, arbitrary arrests and secret detentions committed by the National Information Service. The Committee was worried by the double mandate of the Information Service, which was charged both with ensuring State security and judicial police functions, a combination that entailed a high risk that such an entity would be used as an instrument of political repression. It was further alarmed by reports of large scale sexual violence against women and children by State agents and armed groups, as well as recourse to systematized rape as a weapon of war, which was a crime against humanity. The Committee was extre... | | By: Agathon Rwasa | | |
