Take Action Now: It’s amazing that humanity finally has an International Criminal Court (ICC) that can indict a sitting head of state, as ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo recently did when he asked ICC judges to issue an arrest warrant for President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan, charging him with war crimes and genocide in Darfur.  Now let’s press our leaders to make sure that they cooperate with the ICC to fulfill its mandate to prosecute perpetrators of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide.    Continuer la lecture de « IJCentral »

• For over 3,000 years and continuing into the 21st century, the stigma associated with leprosy has been one of the most persistent and pervasive forms of social injustice that society has forced upon its fellow human beings. Men, women and children of all ages whose lives have been challenged by leprosy have had their most basic human rights denied by virtually every culture and major religion throughout time. Despite the fact that there has been a cure for leprosy for more than 60 years, outdated images and stereotypes persist, resulting in widespread prejudice and discrimination.
• In March, 2003, IDEA launched a Global Campaign to Eliminate the Stigma Associated with Leprosy. IDEA has identified nine strategies that have been shown to effectively get rid of the stigma associated with leprosy. We have repeatedly seen, from country to country, that these are the activities that work together to transform the image of leprosy and, consequently, people’s lives: … (full text Acknowledging).

We strive to forget our limitations and work with the direction of the Divine Will, not in a vain superficial way but with a deep commitment and faith that guidance comes from a higher level of consciousness.
