Examples of civil rights are freedom of speech, press, assembly, the right to vote, freedom from involuntary servitude, and the right to equality in public places. Discrimination occurs when the civil rights of an individual are denied or interfered with because of their membership in a particular group or class. Statutes have been enacted to prevent discrimination based on a persons race, sex, religion, age, previous condition of servitude, physical limitation, national origin and in some instances sexual preference. The most important expansion of civil rights in the United States was the enactment of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments. The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery throughout the United States. See U.S. Const. amend. XIII.

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.

Title III Encouraged the desegregation of public schools and authorized the U. S. Attorney General to file suits to force desegregation, but did not authorize busing as a means to overcome segregation based on residence. Title IV Authorized but did not require withdrawal of federal funds from programs which practiced discrimination.

President of Paraguay promises reform following MDRI investigation Children held in cages for years Timeline of MDRI's work in Paraguay and response from the government Video of conditions (8 MB Quicktime, produced in collaboration with WITNESS Press release Take action Two teenage boys, Jorge (pictured) and Julio have spent over four years detained in isolation cells in a Paraguayan psychiatric institution. Lacking toilets, they have been forced to urinate and defecate in the very space where they sleep, eat and reside. In response to the egregious human rights violations uncovered by MDRI, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) mandated that urgent measures be taken by the government to protect the lives of those detained in the institution. On New Year’s Eve, President Duarte Frutos made a surprise visit to the facility and was appalled by what he found. In addition to the promise of sweeping changes, he asked the director of the hospital to eat the same food given to patients and then promptly fired him on the spot. This marks the first time that the IACHR has granted a petition, brought jointly by MDRI and the

International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights CIRP Introduction The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 16 December 1966. The ICCPR was to take effect ten years later in all nations that had become state parties. A sufficient number of states had become parties so the ICCPR took effect as planned in 1976. The United States Senate ratified the ICCPR in June 1992. The Senate took exceptions to this treaty. Amongst those exceptions are the provision that the human rights recognized by this treaty shall not be enforcable in courts in the United States. Thus the United States Senate denied Americans the legal power to secure and enforce the human rights recognized by this international covenant. CIRP presents selected articles. The full unabridged text is available elsewhere on the World Wide Web. The ICCPR contains important articles which appear to protect the child from involuntary circumcision. Article 24 provides a right of every child to special protection. This is to be applied without regard to race, color, sex, religion, social orgin or birth. The right is universal and protects every child without exception. Article 9 provides a right of security of person. Article 7 provides a right to freedom from torture, and cruel or degrading treatment. Article 26 provides a right to the equal protection of the law for all persons. Read together it appears that a child would have a right to special protection of the security of his body, freedom from torture, and cruel and degrading treatment. The special protection of the law is to be applied universally for all persons. This would seem to mean that the child is entitled to protection from circumcision by law.
