Since then, the world community has adopted other human rights treaties, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966), the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (1969), and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (1981). The ACLU supports the international struggle for human rights and works to ensure that the US government abides by the civil liberties principles embedded in the various conventions, covenants and declarations adopted by the international community. In November 2001 the ACLU took strong issue with the President’s Military Order which established military tribunals as the forum for the prosecution of accused terrorists implicated in the September 11 th attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. We argued that as a party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the US was obligated to adhere to its terms, and that the military tribunals envisioned by the President, which included the presentation of secret evidence, would run afoul of Article 14 of the ICCPR which provides that, "everyone shall be entitled to a fair and public hearing by a competent, independent and impartial tribunal established by law." In a letter to the Secretary of Defense, the ACLU wrote, "Responding to terrorist attacks with transgressions of basic rights under international law could exacerbate the terrorism problem and invite retaliation. We can avoid these problems by honoring our democratic principles and international legal obligations".

Home UNICEF in Action Highlights Information Resources ... About UNICEF Introduction Carol Bellamy , UNICEF Executive Director Status of ratification Convention on the Rights of the Child Optional Protocol on the involvement of children in armed conflict detailed table of participants Optional Protocol on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography detailed table of participants The human rights of children and the standards to which all governments must aspire in realizing these rights for all children, are most concisely and fully articulated in one international human rights treaty: the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Convention is the most universally accepted human rights instrument in history – it has been ratified by every country in the world except two – and therefore uniquely places children centre-stage in the quest for the universal application of human rights. By ratifying this instrument, national governments have committed themselves to protecting and ensuring children's rights and they have agreed to hold themselves accountable for this commitment before the international community. The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the first legally binding international instrument to incorporate the full range of human rights – civil and political rights as well as economic, social and cultural rights. Two Optional Protocols, on the involvement of children in armed conflict and on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography, were adopted to strengthen the provisions of the Convention in these areas. They entered into force, respectively on 12 February and 18 January 2002.

The measures, being decided this week at a meeting of the ICAO in Cairo, will result in a distributed international identification database on all passport holders. The open letter has been signed by, among others, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Statewatch, the UK based Foundation for Information Policy Research, the Association for Progressive Communications and the US based Privacy Rights Clearinghouse. The ICAO has agreed that the initial international biometric standard for passports will be facial mapping. Adequate memory space in newly issued passports will be reserved for additional biometrics such as fingerprinting at the discretion of every government. The EU is already calling for fingerprints to be included, along with an associated European register of all biometrics. National authorities will store and share these vast data reserves.

May 03, 2004 Advertise Subscribe Site Map Front Page ... Wash. Golf Monthly Court eases civil rights filing time By Michael Kirkland UPI Legal Affairs Correspondent Washington, DC, May. 3 (UPI) The Supreme Court of the United States took care of business in a number of cases Monday, but most importantly made it easier to file suits under federal civil rights law. The justices ruled unanimously Monday in a Chicago case that the federal statute of limitations four years applies to amended civil rights law, not the shorter statutes of limitations applicable in most states. In this sense, a statute of limitations begins when an offense occurs, and is a time limit after which a person's rights cannot be enforced by a legal action. In other words, if your civil rights were abridged and you filed suit after the statute of limitations ran out, your case would be dismissed. The Supreme Court ruling ends an apparent contradiction in federal law. Federal civil rights law, in 42 U.S. Code, section 1981, has no statute of limitations. The Supreme Court ruled in 1987 that the appropriate state statute of limitations should be used when filing suit under the civil rights provisions. That situation didn't last long. Congress amended the general federal statute of limitations to four years in 1990 for legal actions "arising out of an act of Congress" enacted after Dec. 1, 1990.

60. International Covenant On Civil And Political Rights (1966) international Covenant on civil and Political rights. CIRP Introduction. 14668,vol 999 (1976), p. 171. international COVENANT ON civil AND POLITICAL rights. http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/UN-covenant/

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.
