Human Rights a Drug War Casualty
2008-07-20 05:35:00 Image via Wikipedia The drug war's dirty washing is exhibited everyday in popular media, absent scrutiny or oversight from academic or civil society.I suspect all those living in this institution we call New Zealand would be generally appalled if it were argued that by our collective (in)actions we were held to be unfit members of the UN, yet everyday we incarcerate and continue to deprive the freedom of thousands of people in the name of compliance with one UN "Single Convention" - and to what end?I have on many occasions raised the glaring human rights anomaly with government select committee and commissions including the NZ Human Rights Commissioner Rosslyn Noonan.It has been the character of the response that 'drugs are illegal' and that people may choose not to consume them, thus consumption or possession is not a 'rights issue', rather society has the preeminent right to be protected from drugs' harms and consumers. Else why the law?This is wrong. It doesn't matter how...
Is Human nature so shallow that this causes violence?
2008-07-18 18:01:00 Is Human nature so shallow that this causes violence? This picture has been causing considerable stink overseas. The locals have banned the news paper and the local religious leaders are calling for more sanctions. In my most fair heart of hearts I can see the same resultant ac
alabot: Enabling human interaction with applications
2008-07-04 04:01:00 Now this is a startup which I think really makes life easier for users. Pune based startup alabot aims to bring the power of natural language processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to our regularly used applications like Instant Messengers and Mobile phones. According to Gartner, there are 7 grand challenges facing the IT Industry for which we need solutions. One of them is Non Tactile, Natural Computing Interface. Here is what Gartner has to say: Non Tactile, Natural Computing Interface: The idea of interacting with computers without any mechanical interface has long been a desirable goal in computing. Some of the many challenges that remain in this area include the ability to detect gestures, developing a gesture dictionary and the need for real-time processing. Another set of challenges relate to natural language processing, which include speech synthesis, speech recognition, natural language understanding, natural language generation, machine translation and transl...

Chevron Attacker Larry Bowoto Avoids Human Rights Violation Claim - SF Sent
2008-06-24 16:17:00 The SF Sentinel now reports a story we first broke over at this blog where Larry Bowoto, the Nigerian man who claims he was shot by persons employed by Chevron, and whom Chevron points to as the person who held their employees hostage for several days, has dropped his lawsuit claim of human rights violations. The Sentinel observes:It is looking more and more likely that Bowoto and 150 of his compatriots took over the Chevron oil platform off Nigeria in a hostage takeover ? which is far different from their claims of human rights abuse.The trial is in September.

Notes: Lincecum Looks Human
2008-06-23 17:47:00 It took over 2 1/2 months, but Tim Lincecum finally turned in a rough outing Sunday, his first of the season. He made his first "non" quality start of the year last week vs. the Detroit Tigers, but was still effective enough to go 7+ innings and allow the Giants to get the victory. He only lasted 5 innings Sunday, and although he had 8 strikeouts over the 5 innings, he allowed too many big hits with runners on base. The "Franchise" has now raised his era from a ridiculous 1.99 to 2.54. He's still in line to make the NL all-star squad, but what little chance he had of starting the game for the NL appears to be diminishing after his last 2 outings, coupled with the fact that Edison Volquez just won't slow down. I think it's probably in the Giants best interest that Lincecum doesn't start that game. It seems like every time a young pitcher goes out and starts an all-star game, it's not out of the ordinary for injuries or ineffectiveness to take hold after the game. As a matter of...
Crime expert: Using drugs a human right
2008-06-18 00:06:00 DRUGS should be legalised because there is a “human right” to use them, according to a new book by an Irish criminal law expert. see Crime expert: Using drugs a human right / By Cormac O’Keeffe (Irish Examiner)Paul O’Mahony also said the war on drugs had “failed catastrophically” in Ireland, and across the world.The Trinity College psychologist and criminologist said it was a “scandal” that enormous resources were being used to enforce prohibition. He said this policy had not only failed to lower drug use, but may have contributed to its increase.In his book, The Irish War on Drugs, the Seductive Folly of Prohibition, Mr O’Mahony said the campaign for abolition needed a clear, rallying idea, which would cut through complex arguments.“What is required to achieve a tipping point, a revolution in thinking, is a bold, inspirational idea to which people can subscribe as a matter of self-evident principle.“Only the concept of a human right to use drugs can fulfil thi...

Burma ? UN Report on Human Rights
2008-06-10 21:00:00 The United States appreciates the recent report of the United Nations Special Rapporteur for Burma, which compiles important evidence of continuing violations of human rights in the country. The U.S. shares the conclusions of the UN human rights monitor in his sobering report that the referendum on the regime?s draft constitution was far from credible; that the ongoing detention of political prisoners, including National League for Democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, and the conditions under which they are held, is appalling; and that the Burmese regime must respect the human rights principles of non-discrimination and accountability in the international effort to assist the victims of Cyclone Nargis.We remain committed to helping the victims of this humanitarian disaster and calls on the Burmese regime to uphold its pledge to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon to allow international humanitarian workers and supplies unhindered access to cyclone-affected areas. We are concerned that fo...

Masculine, feminine or human?
2008-06-06 04:08:00 by Robert Jensen In a guest lecture about masculinity to a college class, I ask the students to generate two lists that might help clarify the concept. For the first, I tell them to imagine themselves as parents whose 12-year-old son asks, Mommy/daddy, what does is mean to be a man? The list I write on the board as they respond is not hard to predict: To be a man is to be strong, responsible, loving. Men provide for those around them and care for others. A man weathers tough times and doesnt give up. When that list is complete, I ask the women to observe while the men answer a second question: When you are in all-male spaces, such as the locker room or a night out with the guys, what do you say to each other about what it means to be a man? How do you define masculinity when there are no women present? The students, both men and women, laugh nervously, knowing the second list will be different from the first. The men fumble a bit at first, as it becomes clear that...

2008-06-05 02:56:00 Singapore MM Lee says growth tied to stability of govts, human capital investments By Imelda Saad/Anya Ardayeva, SINGAPORE: Western-style liberal democracy is not a prerequisite for growth; instead what is needed is stability of governments, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew said at the Skolkovo International Advisory Board Meeting in Moscow on Wednesday. Citing a report by the World Bank, Mr Lee said countries with different systems - from single-party governments to multi-party democracies - can achieve sustained growth, but this must come with stability. Rapid growth over a long period, he noted, also requires an effective government and strong leadership. Even more vital, said Mr Lee, is for a country to develop its people and institutions. Pointing to Singapore’s experience, Mr Lee said without natural resources, the country is forced to innovate, think and plan. To leverage on human capital, the minister mentor said it is important to invest in education and public health. Le...
