Podcast appearances and mentions of al hussein

Jordanië het 'n internasionale noodkonferensie aangebied oor dringende humanitêre reaksie op die krisis in die Gaza-strook. Die konferensie is naby die Dooie See gehou saam met die Verenigde Nasies en Egipte. Dit het ten doel gehad om maniere te identifiseer om die internasionale gemeenskap se reaksie op die humanitêre ramp in Gaza te versterk, asook om 'n kollektiewe gekoördineerde reaksie aan te wakker. Koning Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein van Jordanië het die konferensie geopen en klem gelê op die gebrekkige internasionale reaksie op die krisis sover.

Transcript, "Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein: Human Rights in a Messy World," CSIS, April 2, 2024.

In a special edition of the GZERO podcast, we're diving into our expectations for the topsy-turvy year ahead. The war in Ukraine is heading into a stalemate and possible partition. Israel's invasion of Gaza has amplified region-wide tensions that threaten to spill over into an even wider, even more disastrous, even ghastlier conflict. And in the United States, the presidential election threatens to rip apart the feeble tendrils holding together American democracy.   All those trends and more topped Eurasia Group's annual Top Risks project for 2024, which takes the view from 30,000 feet to summarize the most dangerous and looming unknowns in the coming year. Everything from out-of-control AI to China's slow-rolling economy made this year's list.   GZERO Publisher Evan Solomon sat down with Eurasia Group Founder and President Ian Bremmer and Chairman Cliff Kupchan to work through their list of Top Risks for 2024 alongside Susan Glasser, staff writer at The New Yorker and co-author of "The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021"; Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, CEO & President of the International Peace Institute and former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights; and Marietje Schaake, International Policy Fellow, Stanford Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. The big throughline this year? Events spiral out of control even against the wishes of major players. Whether it's possible escalation between Israel and Iranian proxies, Chinese retaliation to the result of the Taiwanese election, or central banks finding themselves squeezed into a corner by persistent inflation, the sheer number of moving parts presents a risk in and of itself.   Take a deep dive with the panel in our full discussion, recorded live on January 8.

After two World Wars and the Holocaust, the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 was a milestone for humanity. But 75 years later, the document remains both an inspiration and a measure of failure. Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, talks with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about the origins of the document, its role in "stating the obvious," and why the world has fallen woefully behind in upholding it.

On Inside Geneva this week: part five of our series marking the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Imogen Foulkes talks to Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein, who served as UN Human Rights Commissioner from 2014 to 2018. He became the first Asian, Muslim and Arab to hold the position. But did he plan a career in human rights from an early age?"No, I was far too immature and delinquent to be thinking lofty ideas and profound thoughts," he said.  But two years in the former Yugoslavia during the conflict there focused his mind. "The senselessness of it all, there's nothing that can justify killing, or destruction like that. Nothing at all," he thinks. When he took the job as UN human rights commissioner, he became famous for his tough approach. "I knew from my experience in the former Yugoslavia, that if the UN secretariat believed, I think mistakenly, that it's in the friends business, it produces catastrophic results. The UN is not there to become friendly with the member states."He spoke out wherever he saw injustice or abuse, from Myanmar, to Libya, or ISIS, and even world leaders."Someone asked me, possibly you, asked me about Donald Trump, and I said ‘yes, I think he's dangerous.' And that became the headline out of the press conference," he said.  Today, his commitment to universal human rights remains firm.  "What we're aiming at is to create a better human being. That's what we're trying to do with the human rights agenda, to improve ourselves and our conduct. To speak out and use non-violent means to protest conditions which are fundamentally unjust and unfair, and who can argue with that?"Listen to the full episode to find out more about Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein's life and career.  Please sign up for our newsletter for Swiss Democracy.

Episode 394: Bomb In the Bathroom Window (Part 2 of Operation Desert Storm) This week Host Dave Bledsoe sets his crosshairs on a valuable asset, meaning he found a bar where they haven't heard of him. (Yet) On the show this week we come back with Part Two of Operation Desert, the shooty part! Don't worry we would never glorify violence, in fact we find it entirely disturbing. (Except on television, that is cool.) Along the way we learn why Dave doesn't watch horror movies. (He's a big fraidy cat!) Then we dive right into everything that happened once the bombs started dropping. (Bernie Shaw hid under a table!) We then discuss the feared Iraqi SCUD missile. (You can just call it Al!) And of course, who could forget the famous Patriot Missile! (We suppose the Iraqis would like to.) We talk ground combat from the ill fated Khafji Offensive all the way to the Highway of Death! (They had such descriptive names in this war!) Finally, we talk about homecoming, parades and how short a time the discounts at Denny's lasted. (Dave is bitter he didn't get one!) We spent some time how quickly everyone got over liking George HW Bush, and went right back to thinking he was useless. Finally, we talk about consequences and how karma is a real bitch. Our Sponsor this week is Nate's Night Vision, shining a light on savings! We open the show with footage of the luckiest man in Iraq and close with Stephen R.

In episode 6 of Kofi Time, our special guest is Zeid Raad Al Hussein. Zeid discusses his friendship with Kofi Annan and how they worked together to protect human dignity and promote human rights. Through the creation of the Human Rights Council and International Criminal Court, Kofi Annan played a critical role in establishing the mechanisms that we have today to protect human rights and fight impunity. Zeid recalls Kofi Annan's ability to draw people in to fight for the common good, never hesitating to speak his mind and push back when necessary. How can we uphold Kofi Annan's legacy and ensure that respect for human rights is not just an abstract concept but a reality? About Zeid Raad Al Hussein: Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein is IPI's President and Chief Executive Officer. Previously, Zeid served as the UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights from 2014 to 2018 after a long career as a Jordanian diplomat, including as his country's Permanent Representative to the UN (2000-2007 & 2010-2014) and Ambassador to the United States (2007-2010). He served on the UN Security Council, was a configuration chair for the UN Peace-Building Commission, and began his career as a UN Peacekeeper in the former Yugoslavia. Zeid has also represented his country twice before the International Court of Justice, served as the President of the Assembly of State Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court from 2002-2005, and in 2005, authored the first comprehensive strategy for the elimination of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in UN Peacekeeping Operations while serving as an advisor to Secretary-General Kofi Annan. Zeid is also a member of The Elders, an independent group of global leaders working together for peace, justice and human rights, founded by Nelson Mandela.

Friday Khutbah Ashuraa

Friday Khutbah | Ashuraa, The Day Allah Saved Musa and The Day Al Hussein was Martyred

Today is the tenth of the blessed month of Al Muharram during which great historical events happened. However, the saddest of all thes events that took place on this day was the Martyrdom of the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam , Imam Al Hussein, the son of imam Ali, may Allah raise his rank. Hajjah Faten E Dana provides in this video an account of this very sad and painful story of his killing on the hands of the unjust.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet will leave office at the end of August. The hunt is on for the world's new human rights leader.Podcast host Imogen Foulkes asks former United Nations human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein what it is like to do the job.“Most of my time I was writing to governments, talking to them, calling them, but I had no hesitation of going public when I felt we needed to go public,” says Zeid.  Does he have any advice for a new commissioner?“Navi Pillay (former high commissioner) said the worst mistake you can make is to privilege any country. Don't privilege any particular group or country,” he recalls.  And how risky is calling countries to account?  “Rather than you worry about how they may react to your statements, they ought to be worrying about what you might be saying about them,” answers Zeid.In this episode of our Inside Geneva podcast: Geneva-based humanitarian aid agencies are soul searching as they stand accused of institutional racism. What's behind the accusations, and how are they being addressed?

For 10 years, between 2005 and 2014, the ‘Great Arab Revolt Project' (GARP) investigated the remains of the 1916-1918 Arab Revolt in southern Jordan, from Ma'an to Mudawwara. Expecting initially to survey and excavate the mainly ruinous Hejaz Railway stations for perhaps three years, events soon changed this to a 10-year project. The stations were investigated, but it was the unexpected discovery of conflict landscapes in-between the stations and farther out in the desert that required more investigation and was added to by the discovery of over 100 pre-Revolt construction-era camps built by and for the labour gangs who constructed the railway. Discoveries included defensive earthwork ‘karakolls', stone-built forts, machine-gun positions, Ottoman army campsites, overnight raiding camps for Rolls Royce armoured cars, and even ephemeral Royal Air Force landing grounds. GARP research fleshed out the Revolt in this region, uncovered unsuspected landscapes, and added a new dimension to Jordanian heritage. About the speaker: Nicholas J Saunders is Emeritus Professor of Material Culture in the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology at Bristol University. His research focuses on the material culture, landscapes and cultural memories of twentieth and twenty-first century conflict in Europe and the Middle East. Fieldwork in France, Belgium, Bosnia, Slovenia and Jordan is supplemented by ongoing research into the material culture of the Chinese Labour Corps on the Western Front. Between 2006 and 2014 he was co-director of the Great Arab Revolt Project (GARP) in southern Jordan – investigating the 1916-1918 Arab Revolt along the Hejaz Railway from Ma'an to Mudawwara – in co-operation with Al Hussein bin Talal University. His publications include: Trench Art: Materialities and Memories of War (2003), Modern Conflict and the Senses (2017), Desert Insurgency: T.E. Lawrence, Archaeology and the Arab Revolt (2020), and Conflict Landscapes (2021). He is co-editor of the Routledge series ‘Material Culture and Modern Conflict'. About the discussant: Bakr Khazer Almajali is a distinguished Jordanian historian. Originally born in Al-Qasr in the Al Karak governorate, he is a graduate of the Royal Military College at Mutah University. He continued his service in the Jordanian Army in prominent roles until 1996, including as Director of the Martyrs' Memorial and the Jordanian Military Museum. He has subsequently worked as a university researcher, consultant and advisor at the Royal Hashemite Court, including on projects to renovate the Historical Museum in Ma'an (‘The Founder' King Abdullah I Palace) and the Martyr's Memorial. He holds a PhD from the University of New Hampshire (USA) for his thesis The Renaissance and Independence Movements in the Arab Mashreq from 1850 AD to 1925 AD.

At the UN's annual General Assembly meetings this week there has been a renewed call for upholding the values and principles the UN was founded on 76 years ago: peace, justice, equality and human rights. Nowhere more so than in Afghanistan, where the UN has warned that the country is facing one of its most perilous hours. The country had been facing a humanitarian crisis for years despite 2 decades of heavy American, NATO and UN involvement. How should the UN respond to Afghan's humanitarian and economic needs at this critical moment? And will member states engage with the Taliban?

Trip to Karbala /Love of Imam Al-Hussein (A)

Autemar Bispo Evangelista nasceu no interior de Rondônia e sempre gostou de futebol. Sem uma chance de fazer base, acabou se mudando para a capital do Estado. Por lá, estudou educação física e trabalhou para a Pemaza, loja de serviços automotivos famosa no Acre e Rondônia. No tempo livre, nunca deixou de jogar bola na várzea da capital rondoniense. Numa época em que o Genus jogava a série D e viu na várzea local uma chance de complementar seu elenco, o atacante do interior ganhou sua chance como profissional aos 24 anos de idade. Por lá, acabaria levando o nome de seu empregador como apelido e ficaria conhecido como referência ofensiva no Estado. Após 4 bons anos no Norte, seu vídeo acabou sendo bem avaliado na Líbia e na temporada 2018/2019 teria seu primeiro desafio internacional. Ao lado de outros entrevistados do canal, ele viveria momentos complicados no país, mas o tempo em campo seria suficiente para mostrar seu valor e abrir portas na Jordânia. Atuando pelo Shabab Al-Aqabah, teria uma temporada 2019/2020 tão produtiva que uma chance na Arábia Saudita surgiu logo em seguida. Pelo Al-Hejaz SC, veria a dificuldade de uma sequência no país, em função de poucos jogos disputados. Como a marca deixada na Jordânia havia sido muito boa, na temporada atual o atacante de Rondônia e já bem conhecido como Autemar teve seu retorno decretado, mas dessa vez para o Al Hussein. Sendo uma equipe mais rica, bem estruturada e postulante a conquistas nacionais, nosso entrevistado como tem sido a carreira e os desafios pelo mundo árabe. #autemar #pemaza #alhussein - - - - - Cansado de ver sempre o mesmo tipo de conteúdo dos outros canais?

Am 10. Muharram im Jahre 61. nach der Hijra tötete der damalige omayadische Khalif Yazeed Ibn Mu'awiyya (la.) bzw. seine Armee unter Führung von Umar Ibn Sa'd (la.) den Enkelsohn des Gesandten Gottes (s.), Imam Al-Hussein Ibn Ali (a.). Er wurde mit 72 weiteren Menschen getötet, darunter Gefährten, wie Muslim Ibn Awsadscha oder Habib Ibn Mazahir, aber auch Familienangehörige, wie sein Bruder Abu Fadhl Al-Abbas oder sein Sohn Ali Al-Akbar uvm. Imam Al-Hussein lehnte es ab, den Treueeid an Yazeed zu leisten, da dieser ein korrupter und ungerechter Herrscher war. Er lehnte sich auf und erlangte den Märtyrertod. Mit seinem Blut rettete er jedoch die Botschaft seines Großvaters Rasulallah (s.). Auch über tausend Jahre später gedenken die Muslime diesem großen Opfer und trauern jährlich am 10. Muharram. Sie weinen und wehklagen, erinnern sich jedoch auch gleichzeitig daran, Unrecht und Ungerechtigkeit stets zu bekämpfen und sich dem niemals zu beugen. Der Friede sei mit Al-Hussein und mit Ali, Sohn von Al-Hussein und mit den Kindern von Al-Hussein und mit den Gefährten von Al-Hussein

The saddest of all the events that took place on the 10th of the blessed month of Al Muharram was the Martyrdom of the grandson of Prophet Muhammad , sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam , Imam Al Hussein, the son of imam Ali, may Allah raise his rank. قصة استشهاد الحسين عليه السلام باللغة الإنكليزية

*) South Africa deploys army to quell riots South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has deployed the army to quell ongoing riots, which he says could lead to medicine and food shortages. At least 10 people are dead, and nearly 500 people have been arrested for looting malls and setting buildings and trucks on fire in Durban and Johannesburg. The riots are in support of former president Jacob Zuma, who's serving a 15-month jail sentence for contempt of court. *) Scores killed in Covid ward fire in Iraq At least 60 people have been killed and dozens injured after a fire at Al Hussein hospital in Iraq's Al Nasiriya city. The fire was reportedly caused by an oxygen tank explosion in the coronavirus isolation ward. Hospital, health and civil defence managers were all suspended and arrested pending an investigation. *) Aung San Suu Kyi facing more charges Myanmar's deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi is facing four additional criminal charges. Her legal team says they have little detail about the new charges. She's currently on trial facing a number of charges brought on by the junta, who toppled her from power in a coup in February. *) Cuba holds its largest anti-govt protests in decades In a rare display of public anger, thousands of Cubans took to the streets for nationwide protests against shortages of food and other basic essentials. The protests marked some of the biggest displays of anti-government sentiment in the country in decades. Cuba is going through its worst economic crisis in decades, as it suffers the consequences of US sanctions imposed by the Trump administration. And finally ... *) Deep Dive Dubai opens to public The world's deepest swimming pool for divers has opened in Dubai. Divers can descend 60 metres to a sunken city-themed landscape and even play arcade games. The pool has been verified by Guinness World Records as the world's deepest swimming pool for diving.

The United Nations was created in 1945, following the devastation of World War II. The opening lines of its founding charter commit its signatories to “save succeeding generations from the scourge of war”. However, with more than 40 active conflicts around the world today, we ask: has the United Nations failed to live up to its aim of ensuring international peace and security? In this episode, hosts Hazami Barmada and Mary Robinson (former President of Ireland, former UN High-Commissioner For Human Rights and Chair of The Elders) are joined by fellow Elder, veteran UN diplomat and current President of the International Peace Institute, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein. Together, we examine the role and function of the UN's most influential body - the Security Council. We dive into the Council's functions and powers–and unpack its structural weaknesses. On the podcast, we'll discuss reforms that could help the UN better prevent conflict and meet today's global threats. We answer questions like: How does the veto power of some nations stand in the way of accountability? How can the structure of the UN Security Council better represent the power structures of the world today? How do we achieve a world with no conflict? -- This special series of Finding Humanity is a production of Humanity Lab Foundation and Hueman Group Media, in collaboration with The Elders.

Afghanistan's Human Rights Commission chair Shaharzad Akbar talks about the challenge of entrenching and enforcing rights amid continuing conflict and violence against civilians. With a state that struggles to deliver public services and great uncertainty about the future of President Ashraf Ghani's negotiations with the Taliban, how can Afghan citizens have confidence that the human rights framework give them meaningful protection? In this episode: Host Akwe Amosu and her colleague Chris Stone discuss the relevance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in today's rights struggles Interview with Shaharzad Akbar, Chairperson of Afghanistan's Independent Human Rights Commission The Coda: Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, shares a poem by 14th century poet Hafez on the perils of arrogance.

Im Namen Gottes, des Allerbarmers, des Barmherzigen. Der Prophet (s.a.w.) sagte: "Al Hassan und Al Hussein sind die Fürsten der Jugend im Paradies." In zahlreichen Überlieferungen hören wir vom außerordentlichen Rang der Söhne Fatimas, nichtsdestotrotz waren sie ihr Leben lang vielen Repressalien ausgesetzt. Wie kam es dazu und wozu hat all das geführt? Viel Spaß mit dem Vortrag von S.H. Al-Musawie!

"It is important to rebel against any conventional idea or any stereotype that society impose upon us"Rawan Barakat stands out as she defied her visual impairment to become a social entrepreneur reaching out to affect the lives of more than 30,000 children all over Jordan and the UAE.  She received the Synergos Arab Social Innovator award in 2011, the Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Award for Globally Influential Arab Youth in 2013, and the Order of Al Hussein for Distinguished Contributions of the Second Class in 2015. She is also an Ashoka Fellow (2015).She is the  founder of the  Raneen Foundation' a “non profit organisation” which aims to develop the listening and communication skills for children as well as the educational methods.

The public’s trust in governments is at an all-time low. Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein is a veteran diplomat and former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. He talks with host Nelufar Hedayat about standing up to governments — and the enemies he made along the way. Read the episode transcript here.

Our latest episode of The Global Cable features Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, Perry World House Professor of the Practice of Law and Human Rights. From 2014 to 2018, he served as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, working to protect people from abuses around the world. Zeid talks to us about why human rights abuses appear to be worsening, how advances in technology could have a severe impact on our rights, and how he teaches Penn students about courage. Music & Produced by Tre Hester.

The life of Sayyida Sukayna bint al-Hussain shows us that the people in the time of the Prophet's ﷺ successors were diverse; and it was a time of hope, a time of happiness in the face of very considerable, sometimes excruciating adversity, a time to embrace life and its brighter aspects.

Human rights have rarely been at greater risk. President Trump and other world leaders are conspicuously silent about torture, the suppression of press freedom and threats to democracy. For the first time in many decades, the U.S. is led by a President who routinely praises foreign dictators, and rarely speaks up for democratic institutions. From the imprisonment of journalists in Turkey and Egypt, widespread torture and killings in Syria, to probable genocide in Myanmar and the murder of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi, the worst human rights offenders are able to act with complete impunity. Today's heads of government are "morally weak, shortsighted, mediocre, and no longer willing or able to defend human rights," says this week's "How Do We Fix It?" guest, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, the former U.N. Human Rights chief. We find out why it wasn't always this way.In this episode, we look at the need for greater media coverage of human rights, and learn more about some of the world's bravest defenders of the oppressed, including U.N. humanitarian staff who are on the ground in some of the world's most dangerous and difficult places.

Episode Information Multimedia   How do you run one of the biggest refugee camps on the planet? That's the task facing UNICEF, the UN Children's Fund, one of several international agencies which are helping hundreds of thousands of mainly Rohingya Muslims in a place called Cox's Bazar in southern Bangladesh. They fled their homes in Myanmar's Rakhine state and sought shelter in Bangladesh, following a military clearance operation 12 months ago that's been likened to a “textbook example of ethnic cleansing” by former UN human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein. In this episode of our Lid is On podcast, Daniel Johnson from UN News spoke to UNICEF's Simon Ingram, who recalled the “hell on earth” he found last August, and what has been done to help youngsters since then, despite massive ongoing challenges.

 “Never give up”. Is the motto of Ben Ferencz, the last surviving prosecutor of the Nuremberg post-war US Military Tribunals, and at 99 years of age, he is still a tireless, and fearless, fighter for human rights and justice. After the war, Ferencz was drafted into the Trials at a time when the very concept of war crimes was barely understood. Just 27 at the time, he found himself prosecuting former SS officers responsible for the deaths of thousands of men, women and children. He went on to campaign for the establishment of international law, including the creation of the International Criminal Court (ICC), and to ensure restitution and rehabilitation for the victims of Nazi war crimes. Video screen capture Ben Ferencz For this episode of our Lid is On podcast from UN News, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, invited Ben Ferencz to our New York studio to talk about the ongoing fight for universal human rights.

The United Nations Human Rights Commissioner, Zeid Al Hussein, is stepping down in August after four years in the post having said he doesn’t want a second term. In an exclusive interview the veteran Jordanian diplomat tells Zeinab Badawi why he didn’t want to stay in the job. After being criticised for being too outspoken – especially about the US president Donald Trump’s policies – was he too vocal to be effective in promoting human rights globally, or is that just what the job demands?

L'asse del male gioca il tutto per tutto E' di 61 morti e di quasi tremila feriti il bilancio provvisorio del sanguinoso massacro di ieri, lunedi' 14 maggio, a Gaza, quando l'esercito israeliano ha aperto il fuoco contro i partecipanti della Grande Marcia del Ritorno, indignati dalla decisione di Washington di trasferire l'ambasciata a Gerusalemme. Un gesto che offende miliardi di credenti cristiani e musulmani. Sette palestinesi uccisi erano sotto i 18 anni, inclusa una ragazza. Almeno 203 dei feriti sono bambini e 79 donne. 76 casi si trovano in lotta tra la vita e la morte e altri 54 in condizioni critiche. Una bimba di otto mesi e' morta soffocata dai gas lacrimogeni. Annunciati tre giorni di lutto. Il massacro di Gaza dice una cosa chiarissima: Israele è convinta di poter fare quello che vuole. La protezione statunitense è assicurata. La stampa occidentale, inclusa quella italiana, lascia fare. Immaginate solo cosa sarebbe successo se a Mosca, o a Teheran, si contassero decine di morti inermi. Altro che sanzioni! Saremmo già pronti ad alzare in volo i nostri missili, i nostri aerei della Nato. Saremmo alla mobilitazione generale, ovviamente in nome dei “diritti umani”. Invece i morti palestinesi sono la norma. O quasi. Ogni misura è superata. Il premier israeliano, Benjamin Netanyahu, parla di autodifesa, appoggiato dalla Casa Bianca, che ha addossato ad Hamas la piena responsabilità della morte dei palestinesi. Di tutt'altro avviso la Turchia, che ha accusato Israele, “Stato terrorista”, di genocidio, e gli Stati Uniti di complicità nel massacro. E, assieme al Sudafrica, richiama il suo ambasciatore da Israele, ma anche dagli Stati Uniti. E se Donald Trump ha definito quello di ieri “un grande giorno”, per il capo della diplomazia iraniana, Mohammad Javad Zarif, è un giorno di grande vergogna. La violenza a Gaza, così come il trasferimento dell'ambasciata Usa a Gerusalemme, sono stati condannati dal presidente francese, Emmanuel Macron. Il Kuwait ha chiesto che venga convocato oggi, martedi' 15 maggio, il Consiglio di sicurezza dell'ONU, mentre Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, alto commissario delle Nazioni Unite per i diritti umani, ha chiesto che i responsabili siano consegnati alla giustizia.UE, ancora sanzioni contro la RussiaSi allunga di cinque persone l'elenco di coloro, ora 155, che sono soggetti a misure restrittive per aver agito contro l'integrità territoriale dell'Ucraina. Colpevoli di aver partecipato all'organizzazione delle presidenziali russe del 18 marzo in Crimea, sono state aggiunte all'elenco ieri, lunedi' 14 maggio, dal Consiglio dell'Unione Europea. Per loro, congelamento degli attivi e divieto di ingresso nell'Unione. Il presidente ucraino, Petro Poroshenko, ha accolto con favore la decisione di Bruxelles, mentre Mosca si riserva il diritto di rispondere adeguatamente all'ennesimo atto ostile dell'Europa. Un disegno di legge sulla responsabilità penale per l'attuazione delle sanzioni occidentali in Russia è gia' stato presentato alla Duma di Stato. “Le nuove misure dell'Unione Europea rivelano ancora una volta il suo reale atteggiamento nei confronti della popolazione della Crimea, dei suoi interessi e delle sue aspirazioni”, ha dichiarato la portavoce della diplomazia russa, Maria Zakharova, che aggiunge: “dimentica degli alti principi della democrazia e dei diritti umani, Bruxelles si ostina a punire coloro che contribuiscono all'espressione della democrazia nella penisola”. Come osserva la Zakharova, l'aumento del tenore di vita in Crimea dopo il 2014 non da' pace a Bruxelles, soprattutto se paragonato con la situazione in Ucraina, i cui cittadini si sentono comprensibilmente ingannati da chi aveva promesso loro “un futuro radioso”.Berlino si accorge dell'antisemitismo in UcrainaIl console ucraino ad Amburgo, Vasilij Marushinets, e' stato ritirato per antisemitismo. Il contenuto antisemita dei post pubblicati su Facebook dal diplomatico ucraino, in cui giustificava l'Olocausto e il Massacro di Babij Jar, e' salito agli onori della cronaca il 12 maggio scorso grazie alle indagini condotte dal giornalista Anatolij Sharij. “Dichiarazioni inammissibili”, le ha definite il ministero degli Esteri della Germania. Dal social network di Zuckerberg, infatti, Marushinets esortava all'assassinio di ebrei, russi, ungheresi e antifascisti, tanto che, secondo Sharij, l'intelligence tedesca lo sorvegliava ormai da tempo. Il capo della diplomazia ucraina, Pavel Klimkin, ha dichiarato, e verrebbe da aggiungere “non senza un velo di ironia”, che “per gli antisemiti e per coloro che incitano all'odio etnico non puo' esserci alcun posto ne' in una societa' civile, ne' tantomeno al ministero degli Esteri”. “Condanniamo con forza qualsiasi manifestazione di antisemitismo, xenofobia e discriminazione”, ha aggiunto la portavoce del dicastero ucraino, Mariana Betsa, annunciando la sospensione del console e precisando che si tratta di “un caso isolato”. Piu' tardi, pero', si è scoperto che i post apertamente nazisti pubblicati da Marushinets ricevevano regolarmente dei “like” da alcuni suoi colleghi; tra questi, anche l'ambasciatore dell'Ucraina in Portogallo.Crisi finanziaria: torna la paura a Cipro Nonostante gli sforzi profusi in questi anni in Europa per ricapitalizzare le banche e per alleggerirne i bilanci dalla massa di crediti inesigibili e incagliati, continuano a sorgere nuovi problemi. Questa volta, a finire nei guai è una banca cipriota, la Cooperative Bank, seconda banca del paese, nata ottanta anni fa per concedere credito agli agricoltori. La banca è schiacciata da oltre sei miliardi di crediti inesigibili pari a circa il 60% dei crediti totali concessi ed è a forte rischio di entrare il crisi di liquidità. Il governo cipriota ieri ha rotto gli indugi e ha ricapitalizzato immettendo 2,5 miliardi di euro. Non solo, l'esecutivo ha deciso di farsi carico di ulteriori 7,5 miliardi di assets tossici ripulendone il bilancio e rimettendola immediatamente sul mercato per un tentativo di privatizzazione. Un vero salasso per le casse dell'erario della piccola isola mediterranea già provate negli anni scorsi dalla fortissima crisi bancaria che costrinse il governo ad effettuare un bail-in bruciando in una notte 9,4 miliardi tra azioni, obbligazioni e risorse sui conti correnti. Un fantasma si aggira per l'Europa: quello di una nuova crisi finanziaria.

Then, Madeleine Albright tells Fareed about the startling rebirth of fascism in Europe and America. Finally, is the world turning away from human rights?

On February 5, 2015, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein delivered a major public policy address at the Museum on the connection between human rights and atrocity prevention. Drawing upon the lessons of the Holocaust, he called for leadership across the globe that defends and promotes human rights and for a new and deeper form of education that would instill in children the values of equality, justice, and respect.
