Euroopan parlamentin kehitysasioiden komitea hyväksyi tänään päätöslauselman, jossa Intian hallitusta kehotetaan lopettamaan daliteihin eli "koskemattomiin" kohdistuva väkivalta ja laajalle levinnyt syrjintä. Komitea on huolestunut, koska poliisi kieltäytyy jatkuvasti rekisteröimästä ja ratkaisemasta daliteja vastaan tehtyjä rikoksia.

"Kun investoidaan vammaiseen ihmiseen ja hänen koulutukseensa, luodaan pääomaa, jota ei hevin varasteta," suomalaisen vammaistyön konkari Ari Suutarla sanoo. Maailman väestöstä kymmenisen prosenttia on vammaisia. Näistä 600 miljoonasta ihmisestä kaksi kolmasosaa asuu kehitysmaissa, ja heistä yli puolet (260 miljoonaa) selviytyy alle dollarilla päivässä.

Sono numerosi i rapporti di varie organizzazioni internazionali sulle torture in Cecenia che vengono definite "sistematiche", ma non sembrano scalfire la sensibilità internazionale - riporta l'Osservatorio sui Balcani. Human Rights Watch, in un rapporto pubblicato lo scorso 13 novembre, sostiene che “la tortura e i maltrattamenti durante la detenzione in Cecenia sono sistematici”. I responsabili, secondo l’organizzazione, sono soprattutto le forze filo-russe del primo ministro ceceno Kadyrov, ma anche l’ORB-2, un ufficio investigativo del ministero federale dell’interno. Le violenze della polizia russa e l’impunità di cui gode sono il tema di un lungo rapporto di Amnesty International del 22 novembre che nota come "il problema evidentemente non è limitato alla Cecenia: la procura russa, responsabile delle indagini relative a casi di tortura da parte della polizia è stata criticata dalla Corte europea dei diritti umani per la sua inefficacia".

Suomen kausi Euroopan unionin puheenjohtajamaana ei vastannut sille asetettuihin toiveisiin, sanoo ihmisoikeusjärjestö Amnesty International. EU:n ihmisoikeuspolitiikan toimintatavat eivät edelleenkään ole linjassa unionin omien lupausten kanssa. Ihmisoikeudet ovat unionin perusarvoja, joita se on sitoutunut edistämään sekä jäsenmaiden sisällä että ulkosuhteissaan. Käytännössä tämä ei toteudu.
