Extractions: Americans have become significantly less accepting of homosexuality since a Supreme Court decision that was hailed as clearing the way for new gay civil rights, a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll has found. After several years of growing tolerance, the survey shows a return to a level of more traditional attitudes last seen in the mid-1990s. Asked whether same-sex relations between consenting adults should be legal, 48% said yes; 46% said no. Before this month, support hadn't been that low since 1996. (Related item: See poll numbers) In early May, support for legal relations reached a high of 60%-35%. The shift in attitudes occurs as gay issues have been in the news. In recent weeks, the Supreme Court struck down a Texas anti-sodomy law, a Canadian court decision allowed gay couples to marry in Ontario, and Wal-Mart expanded anti-discrimination protection to gay workers. Bauer says that sentiment will make it harder for elected officials to avoid taking positions on such questions as a proposed constitutional amendment that would bar marriage of gay couples.

Many of todays well-run businesses are grasping the nettle of human rights proactively - before they make the headlines. Their reasons are diverse: managing overseas operational risk, seizing commercial opportunities in emerging economies, avoiding expensive litigation, improving brand positioning, corporate culture and staff motivation. Expertise on these issues has traditionally been in UN bodies, governments or NGOs. Future Considerations - a leading-edge management consultancy - has expanded its services to offer an expert Business and Human Rights consultancy service. Our consulting services are for businesses already engaged with human rights issues, as well as those struggling to understand and monitor their human rights risks, make sense of their responsibilities, expand their operations and avoid adverse publicity and criticism.

TORTURE IN TIBET Issues Relating to SelfDetermination and Independence for tibet, London, Jan UNTS.3,art.1(1); International Covenant on civil and Political rights, Dec.16 http://www.tibet.com/Humanrights/torture/torture.html
Extractions: This report evaluates China's compliance with the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Torture Convention) with respect to Tibet. It concludes that China continues to engage in widespread and systematic violations of the Torture Convention in Tibet. China has also failed to make genuine progress in the areas of concern noted by this Committee in its 1996 Concluding Observations. The report first appraises China's compliance with the central provisions of the Torture Convention.Notwithstanding the entry into force of China's revised Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Law, police, prison guards, and other security officials routinely torture Tibetan detainees, particularly those held for political crimes. In practice, most of these perpetrators enjoy impunity for their acts.The widespread use of torture in Tibet is corroborated by numerous reports based on interviews with Tibetan refugees who suffered torture. China's submission exhaustively sets forth purported legislative improvements enacted by its 1997 revisions to the Chinese Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Law of 1979.These amendments, however, remain inadequate to deter, punish and redress acts of torture. More critically, China's focus on nominal legislative change betrays its tacit recognition that the practical reality in Tibet remains largely unchanged: torture continues to be an instrument of state control in Tibet, and Tibet's lack of a genuinely independent judiciary facilitates the ongoing commission of, and impunity for, acts in violation of the Torture Convention.Although China's new criminal laws represent potentially important steps towards fulfilling its obligations under the Torture Convention, 'these amendments do not yet appear to have had any impact on the legal or judicial procedures relating to political ëcrime' and imprisonment in Tibet.'

Extractions: by Edward Hasbrouck, author of The Practical Nomad Fear has devastated the travel "industry" since 11 September 2001, with air travel in the USA down by half and more than a million people laid off in travel, tourism, and hospitality, mainly from already poorly-paid jobs in hotels and restaurants. (While the USA has given US$15 billion to airline stockholders, nothing has been done yet by the government to assist affected workers.) So what are you afraid of? And how can and should - - we deal with our fears about travel? Fear is nothing to be ashamed of. Fear is instinctive, whether it be fear of flying, fear of the unknown, or fear of rats and vermin the worst fear for Winston in 1984, and for some of the contestants on the current travel reality TV series The Amazing Race. Fear serves a purpose in the human animal: it warns us of danger. And our most irrational fears ("phobias") are, almost by definition, those least subject to conscious control. Be honest with yourself about your fears. If you know you'll be too frightened to have a good time, or a productive trip, it doesn't really matter whether your fears are well founded. You may want to try to change your fears, or learn to deal with them differently. But that may not be quick or easy, or possible at all. If you can't overcome your fear, you should change your plans, and do something less scary that you can enjoy . Because fear is perceived as a sign of danger, our instinct is to assume that whatever is scary is dangerous, and that the degree of danger we're in is proportional to the fear we feel.
