A.N.S.W.E.R. Press Release PRESS RELEASE on June 1 Emergency National Anti-War Conference June 2, 2002 600 ANTI-WAR ACTIVISTS ATTEND JUNE 1 EMERGENCY NATIONAL ANTI-WAR CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK CITY Over 600 activists with International A.N.S.W.E.R. met yesterday in New York City and announced plans for a mass June 29 demonstration at the FBI's Washington D.C. headquarters to protest John Ashcroft's domestic espionage program that targets political organizations, mosques and community groups. A special section on the conference's Opening Plenary entitled "Emergency action plan to fight back against the FBI and Ashcroft" featured Mara Verheyden-Hilliard and Carl Messineo, attorneys and co-founders of the Partnership for Civil Justice. "Today we have launched a national fightback movement to stop John Ashcroft and the FBI from bringing back the very worst features from J. Edgar Hoover's reign over domestic intelligence," stated Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, also a member of the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition steering committee. "Ashcroft's changes have been presented as an innocuous update of FBI procedures," said Verheyden-Hilliard. "This has become the preferred method of presentation by Ashcroft as the Justice Department shreds the First Amendment and the Bill of Rights.

Home What is Mosaic.net? Mailing List Articles ... Quotes Participatory Evaluation: A Case Study of CCIC Humanitarian Fund Projects in Haiti by Françoise Coupal and Marie Simoneau Over the past decade there has been a growing body of literature in support of more qualitative methods and participatory approaches to evaluation. While articles and publications have mushroomed, there has been a paucity of case studies for development practitioners to draw and learn from. For development practitioners this has presented both challenges and limitations. Being faced with few "models" has forced us to be creative, to draw on experience and intuition of what does and does not work and finally, to learn to work with a degree of uncertainty. The following case study seeks to present a Haitian experience of Participatory Evaluation undertaken in April of 1997. Challenged by the lack of models or experience the evaluation framework and its implementation was built from the ground up, with key project stakeholder involvement in all phases of the evaluation from planning, to training and implementation. It is hoped that this case study will help shed light on the unique approaches, resources, and skill sets that are required to undertake a participatory evaluation successfully. Background The Haitian Context Haiti, sharing the western third of the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic, is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. With a population of seven million inhabitants, 75 percent of the population live in abject poverty. Most Haitians live on tiny plots of land and survive through small-scale subsistence farming. The majority of the population does not have ready access to safe drinking water, adequate medical care, or sufficient food. The literacy rate is only 5 per cent. Life expectancy at birth is 53 years for men and 55 for women. The infant mortality rate is 105.7 deaths per 1000 births as compared to 6 deaths per 1000 births in Canada. Most of the country is mountainous and has been ravaged by extensive deforestation. Erosion is severe, accentuated by drought and unpredictable rain patterns.

Review Essay Human Rights as Victim of Politics Max Boot The New York Times Human Rights Wars and America's Response By John Shattuck. Harvard University Press. 390 pages; $29.95. Most memoirs of government service are written by senior cabinet members or White House aides, and their theme, implicit or explicit, is: Look how powerful I was. The Clinton administration has produced a slew of books along those lines, by the likes of George Stephanopoulos, Sidney Blumenthal, Madeleine Albright and Robert Rubin. John Shattuck, who served from 1993 to 1998 as assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labor, has produced a different sort of memoir. Its theme is: Look how powerless I was. Mr. Shattuck, a former American Civil Liberties Union lawyer, vice chairman of Amnesty International and vice president of Harvard, joined the State Department determined to elevate human rights to the top of the foreign policy agenda. He had every reason to expect that he would be successful, for as a candidate in 1992, Bill Clinton criticized the first Bush administration's policies from Bosnia to China as amoral. But Mr. Shattuck was disillusioned when he realized that there was no consensus within the new administration over the priority to be given to combating repression. Only strong direction from the top could have broken through bureaucratic logjams, but President Clinton was seldom willing to provide that push. The president was more focused on economic concerns, and after the Somalia debacle in 1993 he was leery of putting soldiers into harm's way. Mr. Shattuck traces the results of that caution in four crises he participated in - Rwanda, Haiti, Bosnia and China - all of which he labels, confusingly, as "human-rights wars," a term he never defines and never distinguishes from plain old ordinary wars.

February 22, 2004 Letter to Government and Corp. Media About Haiti Though often futile, speaking truth to power can be therapeutic. Here's a copy of a letter I sent out to about 200 corporate lackeys regarding the crisis in Haiti. Some of the main addresses are at the bottom of the letter, for ease of clipping and pasting, if one is so inclined as to send their own letter... February 17, 2004 To the Government of Canada and Canada’s corporate-owned media, I am writing to you concerning the escalating crisis that is unfolding in Haiti, where the world is witnessing the attempted violent overthrow of a democratically elected leader, Jean Bertrand Aristide. By tacitly supporting an opposition that has repeatedly refused to negotiate peacefully with President Aristide, the Canadian government is effectively supporting this attempted coup d’etat. From a rational perspective this is unacceptable for several reasons, explored below. It is also unacceptable that the corporate news agencies are refusing to provide objective coverage of these harmful events, and are thereby also effectively supporting the attempted coup d’etat. On January 13, 2004, speaking from Monterrey, Mexico at the Special Summit of the Americas, Paul Martin committed to help mediate a solution to the crisis in Haiti, which has since seen at least 60 people brutally murdered, and promises to soon see more in the absence of concrete efforts toward this professed end by Paul Martin’s government.

African Unification Front HOME ORGANOGRAM AUF IDEOLOGY AUF LEADERSHIP ... URGENT ACTION ALERT printable version Back to Athem Lyrics JAMES WELDON JOHNSON [1871-1938] James Weldon Johnson is an African who was born in 1871 in Jacksonville, Florida, to James Johnson and Helen Louise Dillet, who had moved from the Bahamas. His maternal grandfather, Stephen Dillet, was the first black man to sit in the House of Assembly of the Bahamas in 1833 where he served for thirty years. Dillet, Johnson's grandfather, had been born in Haiti to an African woman and Etienne Dillet, a French Army Officer. During the revolution in Haiti in 1802, the child Stephen was put, along with his mother, aboard a vessel headed for Cuba. However, the boat was captured by a British privateer and brought to the Bahamas [Nassau]. As an anecdote of interest: the oldest house in the Bahamas still standing today, Balcony House, belonged to Stephen Dillet. In Florida, Johnson grew up to become a versatile man who embraced many fields: novelist, diplomat, ball player, publisher, poet, lawyer, and civil rights activist. In 1901 he composed a song to commemorate the birthday of American Civil War leader Abraham Lincoln. His brother John Rosamond Johnson wrote the music for "Lift Every Voice". The song became popular among Africans and in spite of Weldon's objections, they kept on referring to it as the Negro Anthem It became popular in the Caribbean and in Africa in the early part of the 20th century where it was sung in African congregations and as a rallying cry for political leaders in Africa. The spiritual conceptions of "Lift Every Voice" inspired African leaders to use its' modified passages, or other similar texts associated with spiritualism, to craft anthems for newly independent African states.

Monday, Apr. 12, 2004 at 8:04 PM Amnesty's recently released report on Armed groups in Haiti AI Index: AMR 36/030/2004 (Public) 8 April 2004 At the end of a 15-day mission to Haiti, Amnesty International is deeply concerned for the security of the civilian population. Despite the presence of the Multinational Interim Force (MIF), a large number of armed groups continue to be active throughout the country. These include both rebel forces and militias loyal to former President Aristide. Amnesty International is particularly concerned for the safety of judges, prosecutors, criminal investigators, victims, witnesses and human rights defenders involved in prosecutions relating to past human rights abuses. Judge Napela Saintil, the chief judge in the trial of those responsible for the 1994 Raboteau massacre, was severely beaten on 30 March by an armed man. The judge told Amnesty International delegates that his attacker had threatened him for the part he played in the conviction, in absentia, of Louis Jodel Chamblain, one of the participants in the massacre.

The founders, including Jessie Wallace Hughan, leading suffragette, socialist, and pacifist, believed that if enough people stood in total opposition to war, governments would hesitate to go to war. During WWII hundreds of members were imprisoned in the US for refusing to fight. The League was radicalized when these resisters left prison after the war. Not only had the prison experience deepened their thinking, but League members were impressed by the drama of Gandhi's nonviolent struggle for India's liberation. In the 1950s WRL members worked in the Civil Rights movement, in opposition to nuclear testing and "Civil Defense," and helped launch

Jesse Jackson, ex-Haitian leader Jean-Bertrand Aristide claimed late Monday he was driven from power over the weekend by "white American, white military" agents. Insisting that he was forced to leave Haiti against his will, Aristide told the Associated Press that his alleged kidnappers "were telling me that if I don't leave they would start shooting, and be killing in a matter of time." When asked to describe those who took him, Aristide told the AP that they were "white American, white military." "They came at night. ... There were too many. I couldn't count them," he added. Aristide insisted that he was compelled to sign documents relinquishing power by "American security agents." He said he was acting out of fear that violence would erupt in Haiti if he didn't comply with their demands.
