Showing titles in Human Rights

A nuclear arms pact with Iran; Muslims slaughtering innocents, especially Christians, throughout the Middle East and Africa; terrorists spreading their evil throughout civilized society; Islamic radicals spreading fear wherever they appear: these are many of the things taking place today. Many in our civilized and humane world don’t understand why and how these horrific events could happen. As amazing as it might seem to people not familiar with the Bible, all these events are clearly detailed and finitely explained in the Bible, particularly in the Book of Revelation. Most are not aware ...

A study by the Bertelsmann Stiftung has come to the conclusion that a billion more people live under dictatorship now than was the case 15 years ago. The findings were the sum of research for the Bertelsmann Stiftung's “Transformation Index” in which the institute analyzed the quality of democracy, the market economy and leadership in 129 countries. While the researchers concluded that the number of people living in democracies rose from 4 billion to 4.2 billion between 2003 and 2017, they also found that 3.3 billion people lived under dictatorship last year compared to 2.3 billion in ...

I wrote this book to ask some important questions: 1. Will we become again a free people, deciding as individuals the direction of our lives or will we continue to be herded into groups and classes to be favored or rejected by a ruling elite? 2. Will we be free to start businesses, earn profits and keep those profits or will we be enslaved in order to feed the government as it advances social engineering and corporatist (cronyist) schemes? 3. Will we pay high taxes of low taxes? 4. Will we be allowed to participate in our own lives or be mindless slaves to the wishes of others? 5. Will we ...

There are hundreds of ways to lead a more environmentally friendly, socially conscious, and liberally minded life - ways that can even be enjoyable. Justin Krebs explains that being liberal, or progressive, isn’t only a political act - it’s a lifestyle that’s suited to our changing America.

A lot of people are not happy with politics. In many family gatherings, politics (and religion) are often frowned upon during conversation, and is usually the cause of much heated debate, incensed arguments, and possible disfellowshiping. But even if the topic of politics is taboo, we all agree that it's an important part of our every day lives. Everything we do, everything we buy, everything we wish to avoid has to do with politics.

Il 2 giugno 2018, festa della Repubblica, in una fornace abbandonata nelle campagne calabresi, un giovane africano viene ucciso con una fucilata alla testa. Si chiamava Soumaila Sacko, aveva 29 anni, veniva dal Mali. Con due amici stava raccogliendo lamiere per tirar su una baracca nel ghetto dei braccianti neri della piana di Gioia Tauro. Proprio quel giorno, mentre il giovane viene colpito a morte, Matteo Salvini, appena nominato ministro dell'Interno, scandisce in un comizio a Vicenza il suo slogan contro gli immigrati: "La pacchia è finita".

Why Do Black Lives Matter? is an audiobook that discusses the Black Lives Matter movement and how racism hasn't gone away; it just takes different forms and changes as the world changes. This audiobook has been described by many as "a call to action for all of us" and an "urgent wake-up call" to people in power. The authors show listeners how they can help make change happen in their communities with tangible steps everyone can take.

"La Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen" est adoptée le 26 août 1789 par l'Assemblée nationale, constituée deux mois plus tôt. Ce texte fondateur de la Révolution française, et plus largement de l'Histoire de France, affirme que "Tous les Hommes naissent et demeurent libres et égaux en droits", et pose les bases de république et de démocratie. Ses principes sont réaffirmés au sortir de la Seconde Guerre mondiale dans le préambule de la Constitution française du 27 octobre 1946.

"Justicia Universal" es el trabajo más ambicioso jamás abordado acerca de un instrumento jurídico que cambió el curso de la justicia internacional: la jurisdicción universal. Más de sesenta entrevistados, de más de veinte países, configuran un completo repaso documental por la historia y el futuro de la herramienta contados a través de las voces de sus protagonistas.

Osorno plasma algo más que la simple resistencia de aquellos que sufren los embates del México Violento y su panda de corruptos: la dimensión heroica de quienes deciden poner un límite y oponerse a la impunidad; la gesta individual, solitaria, de quienes luchan a contracorriente para salvar lo que aún no ha sucumbido al naufragio.

Buraadja provides a powerful account of the Liberal Party’s approach to indigenous affairs. The party’s record of successes and failures is frankly evaluated as an important basis for developing effective approaches to persistent problems.

This book is a general introduction to advocacy for change that many sectors of the United States of America want to see. It aims to support such a call by providing essential information based on real facts and events; the truth of which, no one can deny. I have always tried to make this book echo reality in a way that makes people aware of the need to abolish racism, xenophobia, and the air of the ethnic cleansing trend.

¿Sabe alguien de la UE lo que está ocurriendo en Libia? Para subirse a una patera rumbo a Europa, decenas de miles de personas han tenido que superar antes una endiablada yincana: atravesar Libia, un país sumido en una guerra no contada entre distintos Gobiernos, milicias tribales, mafias de traficantes y grupos terroristas vinculados al ISIS. El fotógrafo Ricardo García Vilanova y el periodista Karlos Zurutuza han recorrido el país desde 2011 para documentar todas las tramas que conviven en este escenario caótico.

Hösten 1862 besökte Abraham Lincoln unionens läger vid Sharpsburg i Maryland. Han hade två år tidigare valts till USA:s 16:e president, och inbördeskriget rasade. Mellan nord och syd hade det länge rått oenighet om rätten att ha slavar, och med valet av Lincoln som president eskalerade konflikten till fullt krig. Sydstaterna lämnade unionen, medan Nordstaterna försökte upprätthålla dess auktoritet.

Im Kampf gegen die Corona-Pandemie ergreifen Staaten Maßnahmen, die sonst nur in Kriegszeiten denkbar wären. Ohne Parlament werden beispiellose Einschränkungen der Freiheit beschlossen und umgesetzt. Nicht nur Menschen, auch Grundrechte sind in Quarantäne. Not kennt kein Gebot? Falsch! Not braucht das Gebot des Grundgesetzes. Heribert Prantls Hörbuch ist eine Streitschrift für die Grundrechte: Wir müssen uns vor dem Virus schützen, zugleich aber auch vor Schäden am Betriebssystem Demokratie.

Per Papa Francesco, Eva è stata vittima di una fake news uscita dalla bocca del serpente. A quanto pare, da allora le bufale non hanno smesso di rovinare le donne, visto che ancora oggi se una ha subito molestie si scrive che ci ha fatto carriera, mentre se uno ammazza la moglie per i giornali ha agito in preda a una rabbia momentanea. Ma le vittime di questi abusi dell'informazione non sono solo i corpi delle donne: quando si parla di migranti la verità si inabissa in fondo al mare, come un cadavere affogato.
