Human Rights in the Near East and North Africa
The existence of human rights helps secure the peace, deter aggression, promote the rule of law, combat crime and corruption, and prevent humanitarian crises. These human rights include freedom from torture, freedom of expression, press freedom, women's rights, children's rights, and the protection of minorities. This book surveys the countries of the Near East and North Africa, and is augmented by a current bibliography and useful indexes by subject, title and author.
Lip Service
November 2101. Journalist Abbie Moon is a modern girl: spunky, sassy, smart - and with an eye for a cute guy. Reporting on the spectacular opening of a National Museum of Human Rights in New York, Abbie is wowed by Jack Paris, the museum's Media Liaison Officer, and embarks - with a view to bedding 'Mr Cupcake' - on research for a fictitious set of articles on the 'BGM' (Boring Gloomy Museum). But as our self-centred heroine's interest in Jack wanes, so her fascination with the museum exhibits grows and she is drawn unwittingly into a disturbing - and increasingly perilous - web of secrecy. Who is the 'Mystery Man' who seeks to befriend her? How does he know so much about her? And what gruesome secrets lie behind the BGM's holographic Twin Towers facade? Political thriller? Tragi-comic sci-fi romance? Lip Service is a scathing critique of the hypocrisy of governments imaginatively packaged in a wrapper which will have you chuckling all the way to its electrifying climax.

The leadership and legacy of al-Haq, from its origins in Palestine to its international impact Established in Ramallah in 1979, al-Haq was the first Palestinian human rights organization and one of the first such organizations in the Arab world. This inside history explores how al-Haq initiated methodologies in law and practice that were ahead of its time and that proved foundational for many strands of today’s human rights work in Palestine and elsewhere. Lynn Welchman looks at both al-Haq’s history and legacy to explore such questions as: Why would one set up a human rights organization under military occupation? How would one go about promoting the rule of law in a Palestinian society deleteriously served by the law and with every reason to distrust those charged with implementing its protections? How would one work to educate overseas allies and activate international law in defense of Palestinian rights? This revelatory story speaks to the practice of local human rights organizations and their impact on international groups.

The A to Z of Human Rights and Humanitarian Organizations
While the idea of human rights and humanitarian assistance has ancient roots_evidence can be seen in such examples as the Ten Commandments, the Bhagavad Gita, and the teachings of Confucius and Socrates_it wasn't until the 1800s that the first modern humanitarian and human rights organizations came to be. The 19th century saw the beginning of the abolitionist movement, the forming of a variety of women's suffrage organizations, the formation and consolidation of national labor unions, and the founding of the Red Cross.
