WHAT IS R2P?

The Responsibility to Protect populations from genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing has emerged as an important global principle since the adoption of the UN World Summit Outcome Document in 2005.

Responsibility to Protect

The Responsibility to Protect – known as R2P – is an international norm that seeks to ensure that the international community never again fails to halt the mass atrocity crimes of genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. The concept emerged in response to the failure of the international community to adequately respond to mass atrocities committed in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s. The International Committee on Intervention and State Sovereignty developed the concept of R2P during 2001.

The Responsibility to Protect was unanimously adopted in 2005 at the UN World Summit, the largest gathering of Heads of State and Government in history. It is articulated in paragraphs 138 and 139 of the World Summit Outcome Document:

“A Textbook Case of Genocide”: Israel’s Assault on Gaza

~ Đào Thu Hằng ~ Bình luận về bài viết này

Raz Segal, an Israeli expert in modern genocide, calls Israel’s assault on Gaza a textbook case of “intent to commit genocide” and its rationalization of its violence a “shameful use” of the lessons of the Holocaust. Israeli state exceptionalism and comparisons of its Palestinians victims to “Nazis” are used to “justify, rationalize, deny, distort, disavow mass violence against Palestinians,” says Segal.

Wives suffer one-sided marriages with ‘man-child’ husbands

In the middle of washing her hair, Ngoc Trang had to run out of the shower to check on her crying baby while her husband played video games on the couch.

The 24-year-old woman living in Cau Giay District, Hanoi, said that for the past four months, she’s only managed to sleep three hours a night because she has no help caring for her child during late-night crying fits.

Instead of helping her look after the baby, her husband has been constantly occupied with his games and phone. Every time she has asked for his assistance, he has used the excuse that he had to wake up early for work.

“He sulks at me when I complain about his carelessness. In the end, I had to console both him and the baby to get some peace,” Trang said.

After being in a relationship for three years, Trang decided to marry her current husband at the beginning of 2022 not only because of his stable income, but because she had thought he was someone who was willing to share responsibilities with her.

However, after they married, he transformed into an entirely different person, she said. He left everything to her, from finding a place to rent to even when to have a baby. Whenever Trang asked his opinion about a decision, he would simply reply: “It’s up to you.”

Châu Âu: Làn sóng di cư tiếp tục đẩy phong trào cực hữu lên cao

~ Phạm Thu Hương ~ Bình luận về bài viết này

ANTG – Thứ Tư, 29/11/2023, 15:35

Tình trạng di cư gia tăng trên khắp châu Âu, bao gồm cả sự gia tăng lớn nhất về số người xin tị nạn kể từ cuộc khủng hoảng di cư 2015-2016, đang thúc đẩy sự ủng hộ đối với các đảng cực hữu chống nhập cư, từ đó có khả năng định hình lại nền chính trị châu Âu trong nhiều năm tới.

Từ điểm nhấn mới nhất tại Hà Lan…

Sự ủng hộ dành cho đảng theo chủ nghĩa dân tộc ủng hộ đường lối cứng rắn hơn chống nhập cư đang tăng mạnh trong các cuộc thăm dò dư luận ở châu Âu gần đây. Và, những đảng này cũng đã tham gia vào chính phủ  ở các nước, từ Italy cho đến Phần Lan, khi mối lo ngại về tốc độ tăng trưởng kinh tế chậm chạp cũng như ảnh hưởng từ cuộc xung đột tại Ukraine và Trung Đông gia tăng.

Haiti: UN report says gang violence spreading, urges speedy deployment of multinational security mission

28 November 2023

People in Haiti are Living A Nightmare

GENEVA/PORT-AU-PRINCE (28 November 2023) – A new UN report out today details a further, shocking rise in gang violence in Haiti as criminal gangs forge alliances and expand to rural areas previously considered safe – killing, raping, kidnapping, and destroying property, among other abuses.

The report, released by the UN Human Rights Office and the UN Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH), calls for the urgent deployment of the Multinational Security Support mission authorized by the UN Security Council in October, in accordance with international human rights norms and standards. Increased efforts will need to be deployed to strengthen Haiti’s rule of law institutions, in particular the police, the judiciary, and the prison system, the report notes.

When it comes to hunting down a sabre-tooth tiger or slaying a woolly mammoth, the fairer sex has the upper hand, according to two new studies.

It has long been claimed that in prehistoric times men were hunters while women were gatherers.

Males stalked and killed animals and women picked berries while tending to children.

NDO – Học sinh là con trong các gia đình bạo lực vừa có thể là người chứng kiến, vừa là đối tượng bị bạo lực, bị bỏ rơi. Do đó việc ngăn chặn, giải quyết bạo lực gia đình là một mắt xích rất quan trọng.

Medical Misogyny: Why Are Women Overlooked In Healthcare Systems Globally?

~ Đào Thu Hằng ~ Bình luận về bài viết này

Many of the world’s healthcare systems are male-centred, rooted in patriarchal concepts and gender bias. From women’s access to healthcare being contingent on the willingness or financial capability of male relatives, to the exclusion of women in clinical trials, to the dismissal of women’s medical concerns and decisions about their own health and bodies, misogyny is prevalent in modern medicine, often resulting in misdiagnoses and even death. The issue of what’s now called obstetric violence has emerged, as more female patients speak out about their mistreatment and abuse by medical practitioners, particularly around the vulnerable time of childbirth.

The World Health Organization describes obstetric violence as “abuse, disrespect and mistreatment in childbirth that result in violations of women’s dignity by health professionals”.

But while awareness of medical misogyny is growing, many cultural, social, and legal barriers prevent its complete eradication.

Why India’s Election Is A Dangerous Time For Lower Castes

~ Đào Thu Hằng ~ Bình luận về bài viết này

Imagine sporting a fancy moustache and taking a walk with your girlfriend in the evening. But if you happen to be in Barwa village in Rajasthan, there’s a very good chance that you may be killed. That’s what happened to Jitendra Meghwal when he was ambushed by two men on motorcycles last year. His crime? Sporting facial hair as a lower caste Dalit. As India heads towards next year’s general election, caste prejudice has become a hot-button topic. The recent Bihar caste census shows the inequality faced by the lower caste, threatening Prime Minister Modi’s agenda.

In the 75th year since caste discrimination was outlawed in India, Insight examines why this issue continues to persist. 00:00 Introduction

Why Gaza’s dead children could be Biden’s legacy

~ Phạm Thu Hương ~ Bình luận về bài viết này

AJ+ – 19-11-2023

That’s the verdict of co-founder of The Intercept Jeremy Scahill, who looked back into U.S. President Joe Biden’s political career and identified the key moments where he defended Israel’s alleged war crimes, from back in the 1980s to present day.

Biden has been in public office for 50 years, and during that time he has been one of Israel’s biggest defenders, even when the country has killed civilians.

Scahill argues that U.S. weapons and money have enabled Israel’s attacks on Gaza and that the more than 4,700 children killed “should be a permanent stain” on Biden’s legacy.
