GUIDE HOME Human Rights Marci Hoffman Introduction Brief History Methodology ... Other Relevant Sites I. Introduction This chapter will attempt to provide a guide to the ever expanding area of international human rights law. The focus will be on the electronic sources available for this topic, regardless of the format (CD-ROM, the Web, and commercial online services). This chapter will include general tips for doing research as well as for locating necessary documents and materials. The scope of this chapter will encompass both primary and secondary sources (including documents from non-governmental organizations). The emphasis will be on English-language materials, but the availability of resources in other languages is noted. II. Brief History The concepts of humanitarian intervention, self-determination, and providing relief to the wounded and other victims of armed conflicts can be viewed as the roots of human rights law. Modern international human rights law dates from World War II and its aftermath. The United Nations Charter (http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/instree/aunchart.htm), signed June 26, 1945, sought to acknowledge the importance of human rights and established it as a matter of international concern.

That is the whole American theory that opinions can be given a means of full expression, and that the public, hearing all of them and considering them all, will eventually approximate a right conclusion. Every profession has its own particular code of ethics, its own morality that its members must adhere to, or they betray it. And a primary element in the morality of a publisher is that he shall not let his own personal views obstruct the way for the full expression of counter-views."

Home News Releases About HRW Contribute ... Contact Us Under a Shadow: Civil and Political Rights in Zimbabwe A Human Rights Watch Briefing Paper June 6, 2003 Summary Background Political Violence Targeted Attacks by State Security Forces ... To the International Community: Summary State security forces arrested over 400 activists and other citizens, and many more were violently attacked both by security forces and by ruling party militia. The government deployed large numbers of military personnel to low-income suburbs of Harare and other urban areas. Further, in the run-up to two parliamentary by-elections held on March 29 and 30, the MDC was prevented from undertaking normal campaign activities, and known party activists were detained, beaten and harassed. The reaction of the government and the security forces during these weeks illustrated a clear and systematic repression of MDC activists, which amounted to a criminalization of political affiliation. This report, based on over three weeks of research by Human Rights Watch, finds that Zimbabwe has suffered a serious breakdown in law and order, resulting in major violations of human rights. This environment has been created largely by actions of the ranking government officials and state security forces. State-sponsored violence and repression have expanded their scope both geographically and in terms of targets over the past year. The political violence endemic in the rural areas since 2000 has now become common in urban centers, and those targeted now include non-political actors, including civic organizations and church leaders.

The unit has close links with similar international watchdog organisations such as Transparency International, headquartered in Germany; the Global Anti-Corruption Conference in Washington, DC; and others. It is inconceivable to me that President Thabo Mbeki and his entire cabinet have now launched such a vicious attack on precisely Mr Justice Willem Heath, who is known for his sterling work at head of this commission. I wish to object most strenuously to Mbeki's vicious attacks against Judge Heath personally and I wholeheartedly support the campaign by Mrs Patricia de Lille, the PAC's chief opposition whip in Parliament, who insists on retaining Judge Heath and wants him to head to investigation into the SA government's controversial R46-billion arms purchases.
