 *19 NOV 2010 / WORLD TOILET DAY: * On the occasion of World Toilet Day, the
Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights said sanitation is ‘a
largely neglected topic’, despite the fact that 2.6 billion people do not
have access to improved sanitation and ‘over a billion people still have no
option but to practice open defecation. Sanitation is fundamental for human
survival and for leading a life in dignity. The Committee also noted that
lack of sanitation has a significant negative impact on education,
especially for girls: ‘Girls and boys do not attend school because they fall
prey to diseases caused by inadequate sanitation. Moreover, girls do not go
to school in many parts of the world for lack of toilets, or lack of
separate toilets for them.’ The statement was welcomed by the UN Independent
Expert on water and sanitation, Ms. De Albuquerque stating ‘The sanitation
crisis is one of the direst challenges of our time… States must create an
enabling environment to ensure access to sanitation’. The right to
sanitation is an essential component of the right to an adequate standard of
living, enshrined in article 11 of the ICESCR. *Read more

 *25 NOV 2010 / INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST
WOMEN: *highlights the role the business community can play – from
developing projects to providing direct financial support to organizations
working to end violence and embracing the principles of corporate social
responsibility. The message from the Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon,
highlighted the UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign, and the
Network of Men Leaders launched in 2009 which have generated welcome
momentum and engagement. Navi Pillay, the High Commmissioner for Human
Rights stated ‘The international legal and policy framework for eliminating
discrimination against women is well-developed, but there is a wide gulf
between the standards set, and actual practice at the national and local
level. States have the primary responsibility to protect their women, and in
most cases are clearly not doing enough. We need more recruits, men as well
as women, to turn the internationally accepted standards into reality, to
hammer away at social, cultural and state acceptance of violence and
discrimination until … violence against women is seen like, and treated
like, a human rights violation with far-reaching consequences on both
individuals and societies. *Read more

*30 NOV 2010 / JUDGEMENT / RIGHT TO EDUCATION / ECOWAS COURT ORDERS NIGERIAN
GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE FREE AND COMPULSORY EDUCATION TO EVERY NIGERIAN
CHILD*[Contributed with thanks by Julia Kercher, UNDP NY]
*: *The ECOWAS Community Court of Justice has ordered the Nigerian
government to provide a right of free and compulsory education to every
Nigerian child, following the court’s earlier ruling that declared that all
Nigerians are entitled to education as a legal and human right. The judgment
addressed the alleged violation of the right to quality education, the right
to dignity, the right of peoples to their wealth and natural resources and
to economic and social development guaranteed by Articles 1, 2, 17, 21 and
22 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights.  Reacting to the
ruling, SERAP’s Solicitor stated ‘This is the first time an international
court has recognized a state obligation to provide a legally enforceable
human right to education to its citizens.’ *Read more

   News from the Human Rights Treaty Bodies:

*23 NOV 2010 / 20th RATIFICATION OF NEW TREATY ON DISAPPEARANCES WILL MAKE
IT COME INTO FORCE: *After Iraq became the 20th State to ratify the
International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced
Disappearance on 23 November 2010, it will officially come into force 30
days later on 23 December 2010. The 45-article Convention outlaws enforced
disappearance without exception, stating unequivocally that ‘No exceptional
circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat of war,
internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked
as a justification for enforced disappearance.’ (Art. 1). The High
Commissioner stated: ‘This ground-breaking Convention provides a  solid
international framework to put an end to impunity and pursue justice, and as
a result will hopefully have a significant deterrent effect’. The
implementation of the Convention will be monitored and assessed by a
Committee composed of 10 independent and impartial experts. *Access the
Convention here <http://groups.undp.org/t/3668995/393531/6573/0/>. Read more

*100th COUNTRY RATIFIES OPTIONAL PROTOCOL TO THE CONVENTION ON THE
ELIMINIATION OF ALL FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN:*  Cambodia has
become the 100th country to ratify the Optional Protocol to CEDAW.
Chairperson of the Working Group on communications under the Optional
Protocol stated ‘100 States have given all women and groups of women in
their countries the necessary tools to hold their governments accountable
for alleged violations of their rights at the international level, and to
have access to remedies if the Committee concludes that their rights have
indeed been violated….Rights, also women’s rights, without legal tools to
make them a reality, can easily become mere illusions.’ However, the
Committee member stressed that ‘women continue to face obstacles to access
justice’. This is demonstrated by the relatively low number of cases brought
under the Optional Protocol so far. *Read more

*UPCOMING EVENT / 10 DEC 2010 / HUMAN RIGHTS DAY – HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS
WHO ACT TO END DISCRIMINATION*: The theme for Human Rights Day 10 December
2010 is human rights defenders who act to end discrimination. Human rights
defenders acting against discrimination, often at great personal risk to
both themselves and their families, are being recognized on Human Rights Day
2010. Human Rights Defenders speak out against abuse and violations
including discrimination, exclusion, oppression and violence. They advocate
justice and seek to protect the victims of human rights violations. They
demand accountability for perpetrators and transparency in government
action. In so doing, they are often putting at risk their own safety, and
that of their families. *Access promotion materials, visual designs,

Aparna Basnyat, UNDP Bangkok]: The UN Democracy Fund opened its window for
new project proposals from civil society. UNDEF supports projects that
strengthen the voice of civil society, promote human rights, and encourage
the participation of all groups in democratic processes. The large majority
of UNDEF funds go to local civil society organizations – both in the
transition and consolidation phases of democratization. In this way, UNDEF
plays a novel and distinct role in complementing the UN’s more traditional
work – the work with Governments – to strengthen democratic governance
around the world. Projects are two years long and fall under one or more of
six main areas including rule of law and human rights. *Deadline for

*HANDBOOK / UNIFEM / DO OUR LAWS PROMOTE GENDER EQUALITY? – A HANDBOOK FOR
CEDAW-BASED LEGAL REVIEWS *[Contributed with thanks by Amarsanaa Darisuren,
UNIFEM]*: *A Handbook for CEDAW-Based Legal Reviews is a user-friendly guide
for reviewing laws to identify whether they discriminate against women.
Using the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination
against Women (CEDAW) as a framework, this handbook specially developed from
experience in Southeast Asia, but applicable globally, takes you
step-by-step through the process of measuring CEDAW compliance in national
laws. From planning to carrying out a legal review, with advice to maximize
your success along the way, this handbook shows government, NGOs, academics
and practitioners working towards gender equality how to formulate
CEDAW-based legal indicators, identify discriminatory provisions and gaps
using these indicators, develop recommendations and use your CEDAW-based
legal review to advocate for changes in law for gender equality. *Access the

REPORT / UNICEF / THE DYNAMIC OF SOCIAL CHANGE: TOWARDS THE ABANDONMENT OF
FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION CUTTING IN FIVE AFRICAN COUNTRIES:* A new report
provides evidence on how communities across Africa are ending female genital
mutilation / cutting (FGM/C), despite strong countervailing social
pressures. Millions of girls worldwide are cut or mutilated each year. The
practice, a serious violation of their human rights, can cause severe,
lifelong health problems including bleeding, problems urinating, childbirth
complications and newborn deaths. The report examines what conditions are
necessary for a consensus to abandon FGM/C and identifies a number of
promising strategies that are supporting communities in Egypt, Ethiopia,
Kenya, Senegal and the Sudan to abandon FGM/C. Successful abandonment
programmes involve respected community members, including religious and
local leaders, and engage social networks and institutions. They use
legislative reform, national policies and the media to enable and support
the process. *Read more

REPORT / 2010 / REPORT HUMAN RIGHTS IMPACT ASSESSMENTS FOR TRADE AND
INVESTMENT AGREEMENTS* [Contributed with thanks by Ayuush Bat-Erdene, OHCHR
Geneva]*:* The report reviews the conclusions of a recent international
expert seminar on human rights impact assessments for trade and investment
agreements convened under the auspices of the UN Special Rapporteur for the
right to Food, Olivier De Schutter. The seminar, hosted by the South Centre
in Geneva in June 2010, was jointly organized by the Berne Declaration, the
Canadian Council for International Co-operation, Misereor and others. The
report sets out key issues and methodologies for conducting human rights
impact assessments (HRIAs) for trade and investment agreements. There have
been widespread calls for States to undertake HRIAs ahead of concluding
trade agreements, but limited international consensus on how to do so. The
meeting underscored the urgency of mobilizing governments, CSOs and
multilateral institutions to take concrete steps towards developing a human
rights-based approach to trade and investment agreements, and highlighted
the possibilities for employing HRIAs as one means to this end. *Access the

*REPORT / UNAIDS REPORT ON THE GLOBAL AIDS EPIDEMIC 2010: *Human rights are
recognized as part of AIDS strategies but not fully implemented. The report
contains new data which shows that human rights efforts are increasingly
being integrated into national AIDS strategies, with 89% of countries
explicitly acknowledging or addressing human rights in their AIDS strategies
and 91% having programmes in place to reduce stigma and discrimination.
However, punitive laws continue to hamper access to AIDS-related services –
79 countries worldwide criminalize same sex relations and six apply the
death penalty. In the Asia-Pacific region, 90% of countries have laws which
obstruct the rights of people living with HIV. *Read more including fact

investigation into migration policy and practice. The Centre’s findings
indicate that, for migration to have its full developmental impact, the most
beneficial policy change would be to reduce barriers to migration, at all
levels and particularly for the poorest. The report includes analysis of
affected rights of migrants. *Read more

INSTITUTE* [Contributed with thanks by Oliver Hudson, JMDI
Initiative]*:*Diasporas seeking to champion causes for their countries
of origin are no
longer hindered by distance and isolation, as demonstrated by their
influence with government, media, private sectors and other prominent groups
in both countries of origin and of settlement. This report examines the
largely understudied sphere of diaspora advocacy as seen through a wide
variety of groups. Such advocacy pushes for issues that affect diaspora
members’ status in their countries of origin or destination such as human
rights and good governance. *Access the report

 *PAPER / THE SOCIOECONOMIC IMPACT OF PRETRIAL DETENTION, OPEN SOCIETY
JUSTICE INITIATIVE *[Contributed with thanks by Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi,
UNDP NY]: Excessive and arbitrary pretrial detention is an overlooked form
of human rights abuse that affects millions of persons each year, causing
and deepening poverty, stunting economic development, spreading disease and
undermining the rule of law. Pretrial detainees may lose their jobs and
homes; contract and spread disease; be asked to pay bribes to secure release
or better conditions of detention; and suffer physical and psychological
damage that lasts long after their detention ends. The paper includes
analysis of the international human rights treaties and bodies as they are
relevant to pre-trial detention. *Access the paper

*STUDY / UNICEF AND ECLAC / CHILDREN AND INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION IN LATIN
AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN*: The study highlights that migration may bring
some benefits such as greater educational and job opportunities however, at
the same time, there are negative aspects to migration, including risks when
parents migrate and children are left behind in the case of others and
exposure to abuse and rights violations during the process of moving from
one country to another. The study says that while the exact number of
migrant children is not known, recent estimates suggest that around 1 in 5
migrants is a child or adolescent who may be exposed to abuses. The author
states: ‘Millions of children have been facing severe human rights
constraints due to their migration status or that of their parents’.  *Access

*REPORT / UNDP / HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2010: THE REAL WEALTH OF NATIONS:
PATHWAYS TO HUMAN DEVELOPMENT*: 20th anniversary edition of the HDR looks
back rigorously at the past several decades and identifies often surprising
trends and patterns with important lessons for the future. The report
surveys critical aspect of human development, from political freedoms and
empowerment to sustainability and human security, and outlines a broader
agenda for research and policies to respond to these challenges. This HDR
utilizes the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) for the first time and
also the inequality-adjusted Human Development Index and Gender Inequality
Index.  The report stresses that ‘Human development is about sustaining
positive outcomes steadily over time and comating processes that impoverish
people or underpin oppression and structural injustice. Plural principles
such as equity, sustainability and respect for human rights are thus
key.' *Read
