“World Report 2016 summarizes key human rights

issues in more than 90 countries and territories

worldwide.  It reflects investigative work that

Human Rights Watch staff undertook in 2015,

usually in close partnership with human

rights activists in the country in focus.
In his keynote essay, Human Rights Watch Executive Director

Kenneth Roth details how fear drove global developments of

2015. Fears of terror attacks and potential impact of refugee

influx led to a scaling back of rights in Europe and other

regions. In China, Ethiopia, India, and Russia, fears

that social media will energize social and political

movements helped to drive a disturbing global

trend: the adoption of repressive new laws

and policies targeting civil society.

One Million Children Labor in Africa’s Goldmines

July 10, 2013   By: Larry C. Price

In Burkina Faso, gold production has more than doubled in recent

years.  Though child labor is against the law in the West African n

ation, the economics and the nature of mining make

labor law enforcement extremely difficult. Continue reading

Diamonds of Much Wealth!

-
-
-
Much of the wealth of the world's richest
-
-
Corporations and Individuals have been
-
-
amassed by way of huge profits, gains
-
-
and preferable investments.
-
-
The source of such riches:
-
-
Earth's Natural Resources
-
-
in the form of elements, minerals, metals,
-
-
etc.  And in the carefully calculated process
-
-
of attaching "value" to Earth's Natural
-
-
bounty, exclusive holdings of
-
-
GOLD and DIAMONDS
-
-
have risen to unprecedented heights
-
-
now reflected throughout global markets of
-
-
the 21st Century.  In all sensibleness, none
-
-
would argue against the riches of wealth
-
-
accumulated  through  hard  work,
-
-
dedication and all that is lawful,
-
-
just and fair in the process.
-
-
However, when stark imbalances
-
-
and outright injustices begin to occur
-
-
because of vast differences between the
-
-
world's 'haves' and 'have nots', a closer
-
-
look at the "root causes" for such
-
-
alarming disparities must be
-
-
thoroughly examined with a purposeful
-
-
aim toward ensuring that the gainers of
-
-
riches as well as the valuable and
-
-
indispensible hands of
-
-
laborers both benefit from all that is
-
-
extracted for usage from Humanity's
-
-
rightful place of habitation . . . . .

For the most part, the poor
-
-
of the world is usually - through
-
-
ignorance - hopelessly resolved to be
-
-
complacently comfortable and satsisfied with
-
-
whatever meager portions have been doled
-
-
out while not being consciously aware of
-
-
inalienable "Human Rights:"
-
-
Inherent "Rights" that Naturally and
-
-
inextricably attach to the human person
-
-
regardless of ethnic origins, cultural
-
-
traditions, social status [and/or]
-
-
religious indoctrinations or beliefs.

A Poisonous Mix
--
Courtesy, Human Rights Watch
-
-
-
This 108-page report reveals that children
-
as young as six dig mining shafts, work
-
underground, pull up heavy
-
weights of ore, and carry, crush, and
-
pan ore. Many children also work with
-
mercury, a toxic substance, to separate
-
the gold from the ore. Mercury attacks
-
the central nervous system and is
-
particularly harmful to children.

And having been made aware
-
-
and informed of the scores of the world's
-
-
poorest  yet  living  in  abject  comfort  zones -
-
-
areas around the world which clearly evidence
-
-
violations  of  "Human Rights" -  the
-
-
advanced world should make
-
-
every effort to correct
-
-
such longstanding disparities.

With the Watchful

Eyes of

-

"HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH,"-

-
-
violations  of  "Human Rights"  can
-
-
be  identified  in the  process  of
-
-
ensuring sustainable develop-
-
-
ment where needed, as well
-
-
as successful progress for
-
-

“ALL” of Humanity

-
-
destined to proceed through the portals
-
-
of  the  21st  Century  and  new  Millennium.
-
-
With the eradication of Human Rights abuses,
-
-
all  that  should  be  rightfully  provisioned  for
-
-
the  wealthy  as  well as for the  world's  poor
-
-
should become the foundation of balance
-
-
and stability for the world as a whole.
-
-
That is to say, the world we inhabit
-
-
should exhibit characteristics of
-
-
all that is just and fair - encompassing
-
-
every  facet  of  human life.  Thus,  the  long-
-
-
suffering poor can "also" be rightfully counted
-
-
as well-learned,  educated  and  wealthy
-
-
inhabitants destined toward a
-
-
sustainable and prosperous
-
-
future for many generations to come.
