Những ai từng quen sống ở miền núi thường ít chú ý đến điều này: vào độ cuối thu, khi mà cây cối rùng mình chuẩn bị đón những đợt sương muối khốc liệt nhất sẽ đến, chính khi đó quang cảnh của xứ sở thung lũng có một vẻ đẹp u buồn đến lạ lùng. Con suối rộng mùa khô lặng lờ chảy qua những hòn đá gan gà. Tiếp tục đọc “Khoảng trời thung lũng” →

~ Đào Thu Hằng ~ Bình luận về bài viết này

theconversation_Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s bloody war on drugs is just the latest in a region where drug use has usually been met with draconian measures. Thailand embarked 13 years ago on a drug war that strikes eerie parallels with the Philippine situation.

Today, lawmakers in the Philippines are plotting the restoration of the death penalty to bolster the anti-drug campaign. But this, too, is par for the course in the region. Tiếp tục đọc “Southeast Asia’s war on drugs doesn’t work – here’s what does” →

MANILA: The Philippines’ independent rights watchdog said on Thursday (Dec 22) it will investigate President Rodrigo Duterte’s boasts he killed criminals years ago, invoking a strong rebuke from the Filipino leader against a United Nations official who called for the murder probe.

Duterte, who is waging an anti-drugs war that has left thousands dead, said last week that he helped police kill three suspected kidnappers early in the first of his several terms as mayor of the southern city of Davao. Tiếp tục đọc “Philippines rights body to probe Duterte killing boast” →

“You there in the United Nations, you do not know diplomacy,” Mr. Duterte said. “You do not know how to behave, to be an employee of the United Nations. You do not talk to me like that, you son of a bitch.”

Mr. Duterte’s denunciations were directed at Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, who called on Tuesday for the authorities in the Philippines to begin an investigation after Mr. Duterte boasted about personally gunning down criminal suspects while mayor of Davao City.

TOP 10 BUSINESS & HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUES

Institute for Human Rights and Business

Marking International Human Rights Day on the 10th of December 2016, IHRB has published the eighth annual list of the Top 10 Business & Human Rights Issues for the coming year.

The human rights challenges expected in 2017 reflect a stark shift in social, political and economic drivers at the global level. At risk is the erosion of an international system upholding human rights protections and the rule of law, which could impact societies, economies, and businesses.

The human rights movement faces a difficult future in 2017, and it is up to all actors – civil society, governments as well as businesses – to champion the issues people care about and make human rights relevant to peoples’ daily lives.

theconversation_The development of the internet has completely transformed the way we do business; and the “oldest profession” is no exception.

 British authorities are failing to identify and protect Vietnamese victims of trafficking who are being deported back to Vietnam without adequate support or protection, according to anti-trafficking activists.

Despite having been identified as one of the groups most vulnerable to trafficking crimes in the UK, National Crime Agency (NCA) figures shows that suspected Vietnamese trafficking victims are half as likely to be granted protection compared with other victims. Just 11% of Vietnamese referrals were accepted and offered protection last year, well below the referral average of 27%.

PPWG – 25/08/2016

Câu hỏi “Có nên vận động chính sách?” đã được đưa ra để khơi mào cho cuộc thảo luận về căn nguyên tại sao các tổ chức xã hội dân sự hay các tổ chức phi chính phủ vận động chính sách. Quá trình vận động chính sách là quá trình trao đổi tri thức, huy động sự tham gia của cộng đồng và là sự va đập giữa các giá trị của các nhóm (lợi ích) khác nhau. Mỗi cuộc vận động là một sự chuyển động hướng đến sự tự do, bảo vệ lợi ích, hoặc góp phần xây dựng thể chế hay một cơ chế nào đó để bảo vệ quyền tự do của người dân.
