On March 20, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights presented a report on “promoting accountability” for DPRK violations at the 58th session of the Human Rights Council.  This week, Eleonor Fernandez of the U.N. OHCHR joins the podcast to unpack the report and what accountability really means for North Korea, the evidence behind the U.N.'s work and the challenges of investigating abuses in one of the world's most closed societies. She also discusses what role South Korea, Japan, the U.S. and European countries play in advancing human rights in North Korea and some of the main concerns regarding escapees who are forcibly repatriated to the DPRK.  Eleonor Fernandez is a human rights officer in the Seoul Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN OHCHR). About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

Violence against women and girls is a persistent and escalating crisis and remains one of the most pervasive human rights violations worldwide. From femicide and domestic abuse to online harassment and conflict-related sexual violence, the scale and severity of gender-based violence continues to deepen across every region. Despite international commitments to gender equality, many legal frameworks are still insufficient, impunity persists, and survivors are too often met with stigma rather than support. In her address to the IIEA, Reem Alsalem, the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, explores global trends in the fight to end such violence, highlighting both promising practices and persistent gaps. About the Speaker: Ms. Reem Alsalem was appointed United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, its causes and consequences in July 2021 by the UN Human Rights Council. She is an independent consultant on gender issues, the rights of refugees and migrants, transitional justice, and humanitarian response. She has consulted extensively for United Nations departments, agencies, and programmes such as UN-Women, OHCHR, UNICEF, and IOM, as well as for non-governmental organisations, think tanks, and academia. Previously, she worked as an international civil servant, serving with the UNHCR in thirteen countries. During her service, she planned, implemented, and monitored programmes that served to protect persons that were survivors of gender-based violence, particularly women and girls. She was also a visiting professional with the Prosecutor's Office of the ICC from January to March 2009 and a visiting Researcher with the Feinstein International Centre of Tufts University in December 2008. She holds a Master's in International Relations from the American University in Cairo and a Masters in Human Rights Law from the University of Oxford.

After nearly two years of intense fighting in Sudan – which has displaced nine million people and left around 50,000 missing, say human rights organizations – a negotiated peace deal recognized by the international community is the only way forward.That's according to Radhouane Noucier, designated Sudan expert for the UN human rights office, OHCHR. He told UN News's Abdelmonem Makki that enforced disappearances are just one of the many violations being carried out against the Sudanese people.

The UN human rights office, OHCHR, warned on Thursday that children are not being spared from escalating Israeli military operations in the West Bank.In the last few days, Israeli security forces have surrounded Jenin camp – targeting militants – using drones, Apache helicopters, fighter jets, and aerial bombing tactics, according to OHCHR's top official in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Ajith Sunghay.Children both from the West Bank and Gaza want to return to school – and are extremely affected by “the pains of the occupation and war”.In an interview with UN News, Mr. Sunghay, told Daniel Johnson that children in Gaza have already gone through “massive trauma” and that it will take years for them “to go back to some sense of normalcy”. 

Freedom of movement is “massively restricted” in the West Bank, having a major impact on Palestinian's daily lives, and “implications on everything from education to family unification”.Speaking to UN News's Khaled Mohamed, Ajith Sunghay, Head of the UN human rights office, OHCHR, in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, underscored that massive movement restrictions escalated even further following the Hamas-led terror attacks on Israel on 7 October 2023.Elaborating also on the situation in Gaza, Mr. Sunghay said that the documentation of violations has never stopped, but the holding ceasefire allows for “the possibility of information sharing.”

In the days leading up to the January 1, 2025, Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old U.S. Army Green Beret, allegedly sent an email to retired Army intelligence officer Sam Shoemate. This email, which Shoemate received on December 31, 2024, contained a manifesto outlining Livelsberger's claims of clandestine operations, war crimes, and advanced military technologies. He alleged that both the United States and China had operational "gravitic propulsion systems" and accused U.S. government agencies of covering up war crimes during airstrikes in Afghanistan's Nimruz Province in 2019. Livelsberger instructed Shoemate to release the email after January 1, 2025, and requested anonymity until that date. Shoemate discussed the contents of this email on the Shawn Ryan Show podcast, hosted by retired U.S. Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan, on January 3, 2025. During the podcast, Shoemate revealed that Livelsberger's Signal safety number had changed posthumously, raising concerns about unauthorized access to his account. The manifesto's allegations, including the involvement of a DEA official in the alleged cover-up, have prompted further scrutiny and investigation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion latest: Police look for clues in suspect's writings - ABC NewsUN Report find alleged drug facilities were not lawful targets - airtrikes caused significant civilian casualties | OHCHR

म्याँमार में चल रहे गृहयुद्ध युद्ध में तेज़ी आने के साथ, व्यवस्थागत क्रूरताएँ शामिल हो गई हैं, जिनमें आम लोगों को निशाना बनाकर हमले किया जाना, लोगों का उत्पीड़न करना और उनके साथ यौन हिंसा करना शामिल हैं. संयुक्त राष्ट्र के मानवाधिकार कार्यालय (OHCHR) ने मंगलवार को जारी एक नई रिपोर्ट में यह जानकारी दी है.म्याँमार में सेना द्वारा 1 फ़रवरी 2021 को सत्ता पर क़ब्ज़ा किए जाने के बाद से, लगभग 5 हज़ार 350 लोग मारे गए हैं, और 33 लाख से अधिक लोग विस्थापित हुए हैं. देश की आधी से अधिक आबादी ग़रीबी रेखा से नीचे जीवन जीने को विवश है, और ऐसा मुख्य रूप से राष्ट्रीय सशस्त्र सेनाओं द्वारा की जा रही हिंसा का कारण हो रहा है.विशेष रूप में राख़ीन प्रान्त में स्थिति बहुत चिन्ताजनक है. यह वही प्रान्त है जहाँ वर्ष 2017 में, म्याँमार की सेना व सुरक्षा बलों ने मुस्लिम रोहिंज्या समुदाय का क्रूर दमन किया था, जिसमें अनेक लोग मारे गए थे. लगभग साढ़े सात लाख रोहिंज्या लोग, सुरक्षा की ख़ातिर बांग्लादेश चले गए थे.यूएन न्यूज़ हिन्दी के महबूब ख़ान ने, संयुक्त राष्ट्र के शरणार्थी मामलों की एजेंसी - UNHCR के वैश्विक प्रवक्ता बाबर बलोच के साथ बातचीत की और पूछा कि देश की सम्पूर्ण स्थिति कैसी है.

The UN human rights office, OHCHR, on Wednesday condemned Israel's military escalation in the occupied West Bank, calling for attacks by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to stop, along with settler violence and the forcible transfer of Palestinians.Ajith Sunghay, Head of OHCHR in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, told UN News that as the situation deteriorates even further - against the backdrop of war between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza - people live in fear”.He told Abdelmonem Makki a large number of settlers are entering Palestinian communities in the West Bank to attack herders or farmers, and “we're seeing more and more backing of the IDF of settlers”.

*) Israel's war on Gaza reaches 300 days with about 39,500 Palestinians killed Israel's war on Gaza has reached 300 days, with over 39,445 Palestinians killed and 91,000 wounded. Gaza faces a severe blockade, leading to dire shortages of food, water, and medicine. The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to halt its military invasion in Rafah. Assassinations in Lebanon and Iran by Israel have heightened regional tensions, risking further escalation. *) UN says jailed Palestinians abused, blindfolded, fed alcohol by Israel The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has released a report detailing severe abuses faced by Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons since October 2023. The report highlights inhumane treatment, including extreme physical abuse, prolonged blindfolding, and deprivation of basic needs. Disturbing accounts also reveal the use of attack dogs, electric shocks, and sexual violence against detainees. OHCHR criticises the lack of legal justification for many detentions and the denial of access to legal representation for detainees. *) Netanyahu says ready for 'every scenario' after murdering Haniyeh in Iran Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared his country is ready for any scenario after assassinations of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders. He stated that recent operations targeted Hamas' and Hezbollah's senior figures, emphasising Israel's readiness for future threats. *) Algeria, China, Russia blast Israel at UNSC over Haniyeh assassination The UN Security Council condemned the Israeli assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. China and Algeria denounced the attack, calling it a violation of international law. Russia warned the incident could provoke widespread conflict in the Middle East. Separately, Türkiye strongly condemned the assassination, with top Turkish diplomat Hakan Fidan saying that Israel has also killed peace. *) Boeing appoints veteran new CEO amid company turmoil Boeing appointed Robert "Kelly" Ortberg as its new CEO, following David Calhoun's retirement.

Content warning for discussion of genocide, torture, mutilation, rape, and slavery Hey, Hi, Hello, this is the History Wizard and welcome back for Day 14 of Have a Day w/ The History Wizard. Thank you to everyone who tuned in for Day 13 last week, and especially thank you to everyone who rated and/or reviewed the podcast. I hope you all learned something last week and I hope the same for this week. This week marks the 5th part of our mini series of currently ongoing genocides and humanitarian crises. Episode 2 was on Palestine, Episode 11 was on Congo, episode 12 was on Sudan, episode 13 was on Xinjiang, and today's episode will talk about the genocide of the Rohingya people of Myanmar. It's officially the end of week 2! We made it. Congratulations one and all on surviving 2 weeks worth of weeks. As a gift for you all we're going to visit the Alchemist's Table. Today;s libation is called Prohibition Sweet Tooth. It's 1.5 ounces each of Redemption Bourbon and Creme de Cacao, followed by .75 oz of Frangelico. Shake well and pour over ice. Officially the Rohingya genocide began around 2016 and continues to this day, but as we know from every other episode we've had so far, genocide's don't just pop up out of nowhere all of the sudden. There is context, there is a roadmap of hindsight that we can follow back to, if not a starting point at least a starting line. So, first, let's talk about Myanmar. There have been homonid species living on Myanmar for about 750,000 years, first in the form of Homo erectus and then Homo sapiens starting around 25,000 years ago. Then a whole lot of history happened that, while fascinating and important, isn't strictly relevant to what we're going to discuss today. Starting on January 1, 1886 Myanmar (then called Burma) was officially annexed by the British Empire under the control of the British East India Company. Burma would remain under British rule until 1948. Burma was officially declared an independent state by an act of Parliament, specifically the Burma Independence Act 1947. Burma then remained under a civilian government until 1962, at which point it was overthrown in a coup detat and Burma (which became Myanmar officially in 1989) has been under military rule since then. Between 1962 and 1974, Myanmar was ruled by a revolutionary council headed by the general. Almost all aspects of society (business, media, production) were nationalised or brought under government control under the Burmese Way to Socialism, which combined Soviet-style nationalisation and central planning. A long series of anti-government protests resulted in a popular uprising in 1988, sometimes called the 8888 Uprising. This would lead directly to the renaming of the country from Burma to Myanmar and the country's first free, multiparty elections in 30 years. So, as you can see Myanmar has had an interesting and contentious history born of a desire for a strong sense of national unity, stability, and growth. It was the instability of the civilian government, the lack of growth, the skyrocketing crime rates, and the fear of the disintegration of Burma into several smaller nations that would lead to the 1962 coup after all. When your country has such a strong, almost rabid desire for unity and strength and national identity it always goes hand in hand with a desire for a homogenous society. The Germans in World War 2 felt it. The Ottomans in World War 1 felt it. It's what nations who fear their own collapse DO. They look for the divisive elements, the ones who don't fit the majority mold and they say “Hey, these people won't fall in line. They're dividing out country, threatening it with their different religion, culture, values, etc. We can solve all of our problems, save our country if we just… get rid of them”. Myanmar is a Buddhist majority country, by an overwhelming margin. According to the 2014 Myanmar census 90% of the country's population (of about 56 million) is Buddhist. 6.3% is Christian and just over 2% is Muslim. The Rohingya people, the subjects of our episode for today and Mulsim, so let's dive back and take a look at the history of Muslim persecution in Myanmar. The first Muslim documented in Burmese history (recorded in the Glass Palace Chronicle) was Byat Wi during the reign of Mon, a Thaton king, circa 1050 AD. The two sons of Byat Wi's brother Byat Ta, known as Shwe Byin brothers, were executed as children either because of their Islamic faith, or because they refused forced labor. Throughout the premodern era various restrictions were placed on Muslim communities in Burma. The Burmese king Bayinnaung banned Islamic ritual slaughter, thereby prohibiting Muslims from consuming halal meals of goats and chicken. He also banned Eid al-Adha and Qurbani, regarding killing animals in the name of religion as a cruel custom. Burma having largely adopted Buddhism by the 12th century CE. Although, in a strange, cruel, and somewhat ironic twist King Bodawpaya from 1782–1819 arrested four prominent Burmese Muslim Imams from Myedu and killed them in Ava, the capital, after they refused to eat pork. According to the Myedu Muslim and Burma Muslim version, Bodawpaya later apologized for the killings and recognised the Imams as saints. During the "Burma for Burmese" campaign in the late 1930s, a violent demonstration took place in Surti Bazaar, a Muslim area. When the police, who were ethnically Indian (there was a lot of anti-Indian sentiment in Burma in the 1930s, and because most Indian people living in Burma were Muslim, this also affected Muslim Burmese people), tried to break up the demonstration, three monks were injured. Images of monks being injured by ethnically Indian policemen were circulated by Burmese newspapers, provoking riots. Muslim properties, including shops and houses were looted. According to official sources, 204 Muslims were killed and over 1,000 were injured. 113 mosques were damaged. Panglong, a Chinese Muslim town in British Burma, was entirely destroyed by the Japanese invaders in the Japanese invasion of Burma in World War 2. And, after the 1962 coup all Muslim troops were expelled from the Army.  And, of course, we need to talk about the 1997 Mandalay Riots. Mandalay is the second largest city in Myanmar. a mob of 1,000–1,500 Buddhist monks and others shouted anti-Muslim slogans as they targeted mosques, shop-houses, and vehicles that were in the vicinity of mosques for destruction. Looting, the burning of religious books, acts of sacrilege, and vandalizing Muslim-owned establishments were also common. At least three people were killed and around 100 monks arrested. The unrest in Mandalay allegedly began after reports of an attempted rape of a girl by Muslim men, though there's no way to know if that story is true or not. In 2001, anti-Muslim pamphlets, most notably The Fear of Losing One's Race, were widely distributed by monks. Many Muslims feel that this exacerbated the anti-Muslim feelings that had been provoked by the destruction of the Buddhas of Bamiyan in Afghanistan. (The Buddhas are two giant statues in the Bamiyan Valley of Afghanistan that daye from about the 6th century CE, they have long been considered a holy site by Buddhists and they were destroyed by the Talbian in 2001). And that's why on 15 May 2001, anti-Muslim riots broke out in Taungoo, Pegu division, resulting in the deaths of about 200 Muslims, in the destruction of 11 mosques and the setting ablaze of over 400 houses. On 15 May, the first day of the anti-Muslim uprisings, about 20 Muslims who were praying in the Han Tha mosque were killed and some were beaten to death by the pro-junta forces. Now, something that we need to discuss before I forget to is that since 1982 the Rohingya have been denied voting rights and citizenship within Myanmar thanks to the 1982 Citizenship Law. The law created three categories of citizenship: the first category applied to ethnic Burmans and members of the Kachin, Kayah, Karen, Mon, Arakan Buddhists, Shan, and any other ethnic group present in Myanmar prior to 1823 (though they did not include Rohingya Muslims, rendering them stateless), granted them full citizenship. The second category granted partial “associate” citizenship to the children of mixed marriages where one parents fell into the first category, as well as to individuals who had lived in Myanmar for five consecutive years, or to individuals who lived in Myanmar for eight out of the ten years prior to independence. Associate citizens could earn an income, but could not serve in political office. The third category applied to the offspring of immigrants who arrived in Myanmar during the period of British colonial rule. When we look at the state of Myanmar during the 20th century we can very clearly see Levels 3 and 4 of the Pyramid of Hate. The Pyramid of Hate was created in the mid aughts and was based on the Alport Scale of Prejudice created by psychologist Gordon Alport in the 1950s. Simply put the five levels, going from bottom to top are thoughts, words, discriminatory policy, violence towards individuals because of their membership to the group and violence against the cultural markers of the group, and finally genocide. Myanmar, very obviously has and had discriminatory policy and violence towards individuals and their cultural markers. Massacres, riots, burning Qurans and mosques all fit under level 4. But, of course, things can and did get worse. There was the 2012 Rakhine State riots. Sectarian violence erupted between the Rakhine ethnic group and the Rohingya and ended with most of the Rohingya population of Sittwe, the capital of the Rakhine State being expelled. Over the course of the riots that lasted most of June and erupted again in October a little over 160 people were killed and over 100,000 Rohingya were displaced. We are now in our time of rapid escalation of violence as the next major anti Rohingya event would occur in March of 2013. But before we talk about the 2013 riots we need to talk about the 969 Movement. The 969 is a violently Islamophobic Buddhist Nationalist organization founded and run by Ashin Wirathu. Time for a slight diversion for a fun fact: The three digits of 969 "symbolize the virtues of the Buddha, Buddhist practices and the Buddhist community". The first 9 stands for the nine special attributes of the Buddha and the 6 for the six special attributes of his Dharma, or Buddhist Teachings, and the last 9 represents the nine special attributes of Buddhist Sangha (monastic community). Those special attributes are the Three Jewels of the Buddha. Wirathu claims that he does not advocate for violence against Muslims and that all he wants is peace, and yet in a Time magazine article he had this to say: "You can be full of kindness and love, but you cannot sleep next to a mad dog", Wirathu said, referring to Muslims. "If we are weak", he said, "our land will become Muslim". The 2013 riots were particularly brutal. One incident involved several Muslim teenagers dragging a Buddhist man off of his bike and setting him on fire. As well as the deadliest incident of the riot which occurred when a Buddhist mob attacked and torched the Mingalar Zayone Islamic Boarding School. While outnumbered security forces stood by, rioters armed with machetes, metal pipes, chains, and stones killed 32 teenage students and four teachers. Now, while 2016 would be the “official” start of the genocide we would be remiss if we skipped over the 2015 refugee crisis. In 2015, hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas in Myanmar and Bangladesh fled from religious persecution and continued denial of basic rights in their home countries by means of boat travel, often through previously existing smuggling routes among the Southeast Asian waters. Many Rohingyas fled to Indonesia and Malaysia, which both adopted a stance open to acceptance of the Rohingya refugees still at sea in mid-May. And now we're at the genocide itself, though before we do that, let's take a look at that the US State Department had to say about Myanmar and Rakhine shortly before the shit hit the fan. The situation in Rakhine State is grim, in part due to a mix of long-term historical tensions between the Rakhine and Rohingya communities, socio-political conflict, socio-economic underdevelopment, and a long-standing marginalisation of both Rakhine and Rohingya by the Government of Burma. The World Bank estimates Rakhine State has the highest poverty rate in Burma (78 per cent) and is the poorest state in the country. The lack of investment by the central government has resulted in poor infrastructure and inferior social services, while lack of rule of law has led to inadequate security conditions. Members of the Rohingya community in particular reportedly face abuses by the Government of Burma, including those involving torture, unlawful arrest and detention, restricted movement, restrictions on religious practice, and discrimination in employment and access to social services. In 2012, the intercommunal conflict led to the death of nearly 200 Rohingya and the displacement of 140,000 people. Throughout 2013–2015 isolated incidents of violence against Rohingya individuals continued to take place. In 2016 a Rohingya resistance group known as Harakah al-Yaqin formed and attacked several border police posts leaving 9 officers dead and looting as many munitions as they could. In response to this the government of Myanmar immediately began cracking down on all Rohingya people as quickly and viscously as they could. In the initial operation, dozens of people were killed, and many were arrested. Casualties increased as the crackdown continued. Arbitrary arrest, extrajudicial killings, gang rapes, brutalities against civilians, and looting were carried out. Media reports stated hundreds of Rohingya people had been killed by December 2016, and many had fled Myanmar as refugees to take shelter in the nearby areas of Bangladesh. Those who fled Myanmar to escape persecution reported that women had been gang raped, men were killed, houses were torched, and young children were thrown into burning houses. Boats carrying Rohingya refugees on the Naf River were often gunned down by the Burmese military. In a report published in March 2024, the IIMM stated the military had in a "systematic and coordinated" manner "spread material designed to instil fear and hatred of the Rohingya minority". The report found military was used dozens of seemingly unrelated Facebook pages to spread hate speech against the Rohingya prior before the 2017 Rohingya genocide. This is similar in intent to the use of radio stations to spread constant anti Tutsi propaganda during the Rwandan genocide, though obviously as information technology advances methods get more sophisticated. Though I hesitate to call Facebook sophisticated.. In August 2018, a study estimated that more than 24,000 Rohingya people were killed by the Burmese military and local Buddhists since the "clearance operations" which had started on 25 August 2017. The study also estimated that over 18,000 Rohingya Muslim women and girls were raped, 116,000 Rohingyans were beaten, and 36,000 Rohingyans were thrown into fires. It was also reported that at least 6,700 to 7,000 Rohingya people including 730 children were killed in the first month alone since the crackdown started. In September 2018, the U.N. Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar released a report stating that at least 392 Rohingya villages in Rakhine State had been razed to the ground since 25 August 2017. Earlier, Human Rights Watch in December 2017 said it had found that 354 Rohingya villages in Rakhine state were burnt down and destroyed by the Myanmar military. In November 2017, both the UN officials and the Human Rights Watch reported that the Armed Forces of Myanmar had committed widespread gang rapes and other forms of sexual violence against the Rohingya Muslim women and girls for the prior three months. HRW stated that the gang rapes and sexual violence were committed as part of the military's ethnic cleansing campaign while Pramila Patten, the United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, said that the Rohingya women and girls were made the "systematic" target of rapes and sexual violence because of their ethnic identity and religion. In February 2018, it was reported that the Burmese military bulldozed and flattened the burnt Rohingya villages and mass graves in order to destroy the evidence of atrocities committed. These villages were inhabited by the Rohingya people before they were burnt down by the Burmese military during the 2017 crackdown. Since the 25 August incident, Myanmar blocked media access and the visits of international bodies to Rakhine State. Rakhine State has been called an information black hole. According to the Mission report of OHCHR (released on 11 October 2017 by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights), the Burmenese military began a "systematic" process of driving hundreds of thousands of Rohingya from Myanmar in early August 2017. The report noted that "prior to the incidents and crackdown of 25 August, a strategy was pursued to": Arrest and arbitrarily detain male Rohingyas between the ages of 15–40 years; Arrest and arbitrarily detain Rohingya opinion-makers, leaders and cultural and religious personalities; Initiate acts to deprive Rohingya villagers of access to food, livelihoods and other means of conducting daily activities and life; Commit repeated acts of humiliation and violence prior to, during and after 25 August, to drive out Rohingya villagers en masse through incitement to hatred, violence, and killings, including by declaring the Rohingyas as Bengalis and illegal settlers in Myanmar; Instill deep and widespread fear and trauma – physical, emotional and psychological, in the Rohingya victims via acts of brutality, namely killings, disappearances, torture, and rape and other forms of sexual violence. In addition to the massive and horrific amounts of violence that are occuring, even now, inside Myanmar there is also the refugee crisis we mentioned earlier. There are over 700,000 Rohingya people who have been displaced from their homes and are living in refugee camps in surrounding countries. Most fled to Bangladesh while others escaped to India, Thailand, Malaysia, and other parts of South and Southeast Asia. On 12 September 2018, the OHCHR Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar published its report to the United Nations Human Rights Council. Following 875 interviews with victims and eyewitnesses since 2011, it concluded that "the [Burmese] military has consistently failed to respect international human rights law and the international humanitarian law principles of distinction, proportionality and precaution." Even before the most recent incident of mass Rohingya displacement began in 2011, the report found that the restrictions on travel, birth registration, and education resulting from Rohingya statelessness violated the Rohingya people's human rights. During the mass displacement of almost 725,000 Rohingya by August 2018 to neighbouring Bangladesh, as a result of persecution by the Tatmadaw, the report recorded "gross human rights violations and abuses" such as mass rape, murder, torture, and imprisonment. It also accused the Tatmadaw of crimes against humanity, genocide, and ethnic cleansing. The mission report recommended that six Burmese generals in the Tatmadaw stand trial in an international tribune for atrocities committed against the Rohingya. Despite all this the UN refuses to do anything substantive. Instead they are still trying to cooperate with the Tatmadaw and convince them to stop committing genocide. The UN has always been a useless tool of appeasement, Western imperialism, and white supremacy that refuses to hold anyone accountable. Of course, if the UN held genocidal regimes accountable they'd have to arrest the entire permanent Security Council so, the lack of accountability isn't surprising. It's why cops don't arrest other cops. You may have noticed that the dates in this episode stop after 2018, you also might remember that Myanmar has been called an information black hole. The genocide is still ongoing, nothing has gotten better and it's probably gotten worse, but getting verifiable information out of Myanmar is all but impossible at this point.

But that same year also saw the institutionalization of apartheid in South Africa, and the Palestine War or Nakba which displaced hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs in the course of creating the state of Israel. What does it mean to commemorate this anniversary in a time of genocide and gross violation of human rights — particularly in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas? Until recently, Craig Mokhiber was the director in the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), where he had served since 1992. A specialist in international human rights law, policy, and methodology, he worked through genocides against Tutsis in Rwanda, Muslims in Bosnia, Yazidis in Iraq, and Rohingya in Myanmar. In his resignation letter, sent October 28th this year, he wrote, “Once again, we are seeing a genocide unfolding before our eyes, and the organization that we serve appears powerless to stop it.” Both Israel and Hamas have now been accused of committing gross violations of human rights in their current conflict, including acts of genocide. But what exactly is genocide? And what is the responsibility of the world to stop it? In this timely episode, Laura and Mokhiber explore the promise of the Universal Declaration and ask how we can honor this historic achievement while also acknowledging the hypocrisies of 1948 — and now. What can be learned from the South African experience that might offer a way forward for peace with justice for Israelis and Palestinians? All that and a commentary from Laura on what it takes for us to recognize one another's humanity.“Israel is responsible for its own crimes. That responsibility does not extend to Jewish people around the world and certainly not to those who are standing up to say that this is not in their name.” - Craig Mokhiber“We want to see justice for victims and accountability for perpetrators, but we want it to be done peacefully. And what are the peaceful means? We have legal action, we have political action, we have mass mobilizations, we have divestments, we have boycotts.” - Craig MokhiberGuest:  Craig Mokhiber: Human Rights Lawyer, Former Senior United Nations Official Full Episode Notes are located HERE.  They include related episodes, articles, and more.Music In the Middle:  Funk 4 Peace by Fort Knox Five from their album Radio Free DC courtesy of Fort Know Recordings.  Additional music included- "Steppin," by Podington Bear.

In conversation with Bokang Lethunya- Khutlang and Ompha Tshamano  In 2022, the Centre for Human Rights, University of Pretoria undertook a research and advocacy project that sought to assess the status of digital rights in Southern Africa. As part of the research component, a report titled The Digital Rights Landscape in Southern Africa. The report came into being after the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the digital gaps and inequalities in Southern Africa.  On this episode, Africa Rights Talk together with Ms. Bokang Lethunya-Khutlang and Mr Ompha Tshamano, discusses the digital rights landscape in Southern Africa with a specific focus on the status of digital rights in Lesotho. The discussion was premised on the challenges that vulnerable communities, namely women, children and people living with disabilities face in realising digital rights in Lesotho. In line with the mandates that States ought to adopt as recommended in the Declaration of Principles on Freedom of Expression and Access to Information in Africa, the discussants reflected on the measures that have been adopted through the Ministry of Justice in Lesotho to ensure that human rights are protected online and offline. In this conversation, Ms Lethunya-Khutlang acknowledged the impact that race, class and gender has on people realising digital rights in Lesotho and subsequently the challenges and stifled opportunities that people face when it comes to accessing digital services and technologies in Lesotho. In conclusion, Ms Lethunya-Khutlang emphasised on the importance of individual and communal efforts in order to ensure a healthy digital life.  Ms. Bokang Lethunya-Khutlang works as a Legal Officer in the Human Rights Unit under the Ministry of Justice and Law, having joined the Unit in June 2008. Her duties entail dissemination of human rights to the public through various media spots; receiving complaints on human rights violations for referral to where they could best be resolved; compilation of human rights state party reports. In a nutshell, her duties are on promotion, protection and monitoring of human rights in Lesotho. Since joining the Unit, Ms. Lethunya-Khutlang has benefitted from  several trainings by the OHCHR, UNAIDS, University of Pretoria amongst others. She serves as a coordinator and secretariat of all human rights state party reports and thus has played a key role in compilation of several state party reports both to the UN treaty bodies and the African commission. These include CEDAW, CMW, ICCPR, UPR, ACHPR and Maputo Protocol. Prior to joining the Unit, Ms. Lethunya-Khutlang worked as a Magistrate from 2004 - 2008. She has also served as a Board Director (2015 – 2018) for the Lesotho Communication Authority which is a regulator for the communications sector in Lesotho. Mr Ompha Tshamano is an LLM Candidate at the University of Pretoria and a project assistant at the Expression, Information and Digital Rights Unit at the Centre for Human Rights, University of Pretoria.    This conversation was recorded on 02 May 2023.   Music and news extracts: Inner Peace by Mike Chino https://soundcloud.com/mike-chinoCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/0nI6qJeqFcc  limitless https://stock.adobe.com/za/search/audio?k=452592386

Kuelekea siku ya kimataifa ya lugha ya mama duniani hapo kesho, mtaalamu huru wa Umoja wa Mataifa kuhusu makabila madogo amesema serikali lazima zichukue hatua zaidi juu ya matumizi ya lugha za makabila hayo madogo kwani zama za kuchagua lugha moja tu kutumiwa na taifa zima huku nyingine zikienguliwa zimepitwa na wakati.Mtaalamu huyo Fernand de Varennes amenukuliwa kwenye taarifa iliyotolewa leo jijini Geneva, Uswisi na Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Haki za Binadamu, OHCHR akisema lugha ni mbinu muhimu ya mawasiliano na kubadilishana ufahamu, kumbukumbuku na historia, lakini zaidi ya yote ni muhimu katika watu kuweza kuwasiliana kwa ukamilifu na kuweza kushiriki kwenye shughuli za taifa lao. Amesema ni kwa msingi huo, moja ya mbinu fanisi za kujengea uwezo makabili madogo na watu wa jamii ya asili ni kuwapatia hakikisho la kutumia lugha zao kwenye elimu, hususa kama lugha ya kufundishia, ali mradi inawezekana na vile vile lugha hiyo kuweza kutumika kutolea huduma za umma na fursa za ajira. Bwana de Varennes amesema “lugha pia ni haki ya msingi ya binadamu kwa makabila madogo na jamii ya watu wa asili na mimi na wataalamu wengine huru wa Umoja wa Mataifa tumekuwa tukikosoa hatua ya kupunguza na katika maeneo mengine kuengua matumizi ya ufundishaji kwa kutumia lugha za makabila madogo.” Amesema badala ya kupunguza au kuengua matumizi ya lugha hizo, serikali ziwekeze katika kuandaa zana za kufundishia, kufundisha walimu na kuendeleza matumizi ya lugha mama kwenye utoaji wa elimu pale inapowezekana ili kuhakikisha Watoto wa makabila madogo na jamii ya asili wanapata stadi za kusoma na kuandika zitakazowawezesha kujifunza lugha zingine ikiwemo lugha rasmi. Mtaalamu huyo amesema hiyo ndio njia fanisi ya kuhakikikisha usawa na kutokoweko na ubaguzi na kuheshimu sheria ya kimataifa. Amesema uteuzi wa lugha moja tu kutumika kila mahali na kuengua zingine ni kinyume na ujumuishi wa jamii na kwamba siku ya kimataifa ya lugha ya mama na muongo wa kimataiffa wa lugha ya jamii ya asili ni fursa za kusongesha na kufurahia utajiri wa lugha na tamaduni mbalimbali duniani. Siku ya lugha ya mama huadhimiwa tarehe 21 ya mwezi Februari kila mwaka.

Throsell amesema tayari kumekuweko na hofu ambapo watetezi wa haki za binadamu na mashirika ya kiutu huko Ugiriki na katika nchi wanachama wa Muungano wa Ulaya wamelazimika kusitisha kazi zao za haki za kiutu kutokana na hofu. Ametoa wito kwa mashtaka dhidi ya watetezi hao wote 24 wa haki za binadamu yatupiliwe mbali akisema, mashtaka yao yanahusiana na vitendo vyao vya kuokoa wahamiaji baharini na madai ya tabia mbayá ya kwamba wanafanikisha usafirishaji haramu wa wahamiaji, Amesisitiza kuwa kuokoa maisha na kutoa msaada wa kibinadamu katu hakupaswi kuharamishwa na kwamba vitendo hivyo vya usaidizi badala yake ni vya kiutu na vinakubalika. Wanaokabiliwa na kesi hiyo ni wanachama au wafanyakazi wa kujitolea katika shirika la kiraia la kimataifa la uokaji nchini Ugiriki, ERCI, shirika ambalo tangu mwaka 2016 hadi 2018 limesaidia zaidi ya watu 1,000 kufika eneo salama. Halikadhalika limepatia manusura huduma za matibabu na misaada mingine. Tangu kukamatwa kwa watetezi hao, shirika hilo limelazimika kufunga operesheni zake ilhali watetezi wamekuwa wakisubiria kuanza kwa kesi yao kwa miaka minne hadi ilivyoanza wiki hii.

Matilda Bogner's job is to bear witness to unspeakable crimes. As head of the United Nations Human Rights mission in Ukraine, she and her team record accounts of horrific abuses and rights violations in a bid to bring the perpetrators to justice and ease the victims' suffering.  “It's a very complicated job, but it is meeting people and finding out their stories. It's giving voices to victims. That's what motivates me.” Russia's invasion of Ukraine has devastated millions of lives. Civilians have been subjected to summary executions, disappearances, arbitrary arrests, and mass rape. In this episode, Matilda Bogner reflects on the scale of these horrors, the mental health impact of documenting them, and on her urgent quest to raise the alarm with the rest of the world.

Wakati idadi ya wakimbizi wa ndani nchini Sudan ikizidi kuongezeka ambapo mpaka sasa wamefikia milioni 3.7 na kati yao 200,000 wakiwa wamerekodiwa mwaka huu pekee Kamishna Mkuu wa Haki za Binadamu wa Umoja wa Mataifa Volker Türk amefunga safari mpaka nchi huko kwenda kuzungumza na wawakilishi wa wakimbizi, asasi za kiraia na serikali. Video ya Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Haki za binadamu OHCHR inaanza kwa kuonesha taswira kutoka angani ya El Fasher mji mkuu wa Jimbo la Darfur kaskazini nchini Sudan ambapo Kamishna Mkuu wa Haki za Binadamu wa Umoja wa Mataifa Volker Türk anafika hapa katika ziara maalum ambayo inamkutanisha na jamii za wakimbizi wa ndani,a wanaharakati wa haki za binadamu pamoja na viongozi wa serikali na wamasuala ya ulinzi.Hii si mara yake ya kwanza kufika hapa “Miaka 11 iliyopita, nilikuwa hapa katika jengo hili hapa El Fasher Darfur, nilikuja kuendesha warsha kwa viongozi kuhusu suala la ulinzi, nikizungumzia ulinzi wa wakimbizi wa ndani na ulinzi wa raia kwa ujumla. Sasa nimerejea, kama Kamishna Mkuu wa Haki za Kibinadamu, na tunajadiliana suala lile lile kuhusu ulinzi wa raia, na uhitaji wa dharura wa kutafuta suluhu kwa wakimbizi wa ndani na kuheshimu haki za binadamu.”Na baada ya kufanya mikutano na kusikia kutoka kwa wawakilishi wa wakimbizi wa ndani…. Na wanaharakati wa haki za binadamu….  Kamishna Turk anasema ujumbe ni mmoja tu na upo wazi kabisa, watu hawa wanataka utekelezaji wa makubaliano ya amani ya Juba, na kuhakikisha kuna amani nchini humo huku mapigano yakomeshwe na watu wawe na utashi binafsi wa kurejea makwao "Iko wazi kabisa, jamii ya wakimbizi wa ndani wenyewe wanaona. Hawa ni wakulima, ni watu wanaofanya kazi kwenye ardhi yao na wanataka kurejea kufanya hivyo kule walikokukimbia, na baada ya miaka kadhaa ya kuishi ukimbizini hilo ndilo wanalotamani, kurudi makwao.”Na alipokutanaa na viongozi wa serikali na wale wa ulinzi ujumbe wake ni “Ni wazi kwamba njia ya kuwezesha kusonga mbele tunahitaji ulinzi na kuhamasisha utekelezaji wa haki za binadamu kwa kila mtu katika eneo hili iwe ndio kipaumbele cha juu kabisa.”Kamishna huyo pia alipata fursa ya kuzungumza na vyombo vya Habari vya nchini humo na kusisitiza ujumbe wake wa amani na utekelezwaji wa mkataba wa Juba.

Hatua za kutokomeza ubaguzi wa kimfumo dhidi ya watu wenye asili  ya Afrika zinatekelezwa vipande vipande licha ya serikali mbalimbali duniani kutangaza hatua za kumaliza kitendo hicho dhalimu, imesema ripoti ya Umoja wa Mataifa itakayowasilishwa mbele ya Baraza la Umoja wa Mataifa la Haki za Binadamu Jumatatu ijayo. Leah Mushi na maelezo Zaidi. Taarifa ya Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Haki za Binadamu, OHCHR iliyotolewa leo jijini Geneva, Uswisi inasema harakati zinazoongozwa na watu wenye asili ya Afrika, zikiungwa mkono na watu wengine zimeongeza uelewa wa mifumo ya kibaguzi na asili yake na kuchagiza hatua za kutokomeza. Hata hivyo ripoti imesema bado kuna hitaji la dharura la hatua za kina kuvunja mifumo ya kuendeleza ubaguzi wa rangi iliyoota mizizi katika maeneo mbalimbali ya maisha. Mathalan iripoti inaelezea hatua za kimataifa, kitaifa na kijamii ikiwemo nchini  Marekani ambako kumepitishwa Agizo la Serikali la kusongesha hatua wajibivu, fanisi na za haki kwenye udhibiti wa uhalifu kwenye sheria ya taifa. Imetaja matukio 7 ya vifo vya watu wenye asilia ya Afrika  mikononi mwa polisi, mathalani: George Floyd na Breonna Taylor nchini Marekani na Adama Traoré nchini Ufaransa. Ripoti inasema ingawa kumekuweko na maendeleo kwenye uwajibishaji wa kesi hizo lakini, “kwa bahati mbaya hakuna kesi hata moja ambayo imekamilika, huku familia zikiendelea kusaka haki, ukweli na hakikisho la kwamba vitendo hivyo havitarejelewa tena na wahusika washtakiwe.” Ni kwa mantiki hiyo Kaimu Kamishna Mkuu wa  Umoja wa Mataifa kuhusu haki za binadamu Nada Al-Nashif ametaka serikali zioneshe zaidi utashi wa kisiasa na kuongeza hatua hasa kwa kutekeleza mapendekezo ya msingi yaliyotolewa kwenye Ajenda ya OHCHR kuelekea Mabadiliko yenye Marekebisho kwa ajili ya Haki ya watu wenye rangi mbalimbali na Usawa.
