NGO
fight to make their voices heard
By Jonathan Soble
July 6 2008. Recent G8 summits have not
been kind to rabble-rousers. Ever since street violence marred
the 2001 meeting in Genoa, Italy, and terrorists attacked
the US that same year, summit organisers have swept their
charges off to ever more remote locations. Islands, forests
and highland retreats have been popular.
At the Windsor hotel in Hokkaido, G8 leaders
will be shielded from anyone with a disruptive agenda –
terrorists, sure, but also activist groups and legitimate
protesters. Non-governmental organisations, which hold views
on everything from climate change to landmine clearance, fear
they will struggle to be heard. More»

The Federal Democratic
Republic of Nepal must ratify the Optional Protocol on ESCR
On the occasion of adoption of the Optional
Protocol on ESCR, the National Network on Right to Food
(RtFN), Nepal welcomes the decision of the Human Rights
Council on 18th of June 2008 in Geneva, Switzerland adopting
the Protocol. The adoption of the Optional Protocol is an
important achievement for the materialisation of International
Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR).
The Optional Protocol is the result of several years of
work by governments, civil society, HR experts and the UN
human rights bodies to remedy a long-term gap in human rights
protection under the international system. An inter-governmental
Working Group has deliberated on the scope and content of
the draft Optional Protocol since 2004. The Optional Protocol
adopted by the Council includes a number of provisions,
including that the States Parties to the Covenant joining
the Protocol recognize the competence of the UN Committee
on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights to receive and consider
communications alleging violations of the economic, social
and cultural rights set forth in the Covenant. More»

Nepal Declared
Federal Republic
Nepal turned into a federal democratic
republic from 28 May 2008 ending about four centuries old
monarchial culture through an overwhelming 560 votes of the
Constituent Assembly (CA). In a historic verdict, the first
meeting of the CA formally implemented the republican agenda
provisioned in the Interim Constitution 2063 declaring Nepal
a federal democratic republic state to be run under a presidential
system. The verdict has put to rest 240 years of Shah rule
turning Nepalese into sovereign citizens.
