Principles Guiding AHRC and ALRC Programmes:

• Victims-directed approach must be combined with structural reforms needed to prevent human rights abuse and to promote rights;
• Protest work will be combined with a community-based approach. In this, building of a support base in church and religious groups will be given priority;
• UN-directed approach must be combined with regional and country based human rights promotional activities;
• Human rights promotion must be combined with promotion of democracy and rule of law;
• The issues of poverty eradication, gender equality, caste, indigenous peoples’ and minorities’ rights must be brought into all programmes.

Zur Einführung: Das Klima spielt verrückt und treibt die Herrschenden dieser Welt zu kranken Lösungen. Die Nahrungsmittel sollen nun nicht nur die Bäuche, sondern auch die Tänke der reichen Minderheit im Norden füllen! Durch die Bankenkrise mit ihren Milliardenverlusten und „faulen » Krediten entdecken die Spekulanten jetzt die Nahrungsmittel als sicheren Wert und heizen die tödliche Maschinerie weiter an. Schon gibt es Hungerrevolten. Währenddessen foutieren sich die Eliten immer mehr um den sozialen Ausgleich. Die obersten Chefs belohnen sich selbst mit Millionengehältern und zügeln diese in Steuerparadiese, während der Anteil der Working Poor und SozialhilfeempfängerInnen zunimmt. Die Umverteilung von arm zu reich ist in vollem Gang und wird medial unterstützt. Die Reichen und Schönen werden glamourös gefeiert, während Arme und Ausgegrenzte verteufelt und kriminalisiert werden – Geits no?!

An der Sommeruni 2008 befassen wir uns mit den ideologischen, wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und ökologischen Aspekten der aktuellen Systemkrise. Wir diskutieren Alternativen und konkrete Handlungsmöglichkeiten. Denn Auswege aus der Sackgasse sind vorhanden!

Editorial of the latest issue: The Moderate Muslim, by Lori Lowenthal Marcus. There lives in Dhaka one of the elusive souls for whom most of the world, or at least most Western politicians, have been searching: a true Islam-loving moderate Muslim who believes in brotherhood among all religions and respect for all nations by all nations. Unfortunately, it is possible that this priceless and endangered species may soon become extinct. At least since September 11, 2001, world and communal leaders have been touting the virtues of the « moderate Muslims. » The express or implicit message is always that Islam has been hijacked by aberrant radicals but if we look to, nurture and promote the moderate Muslims, all will be well with the world … (full text ed. of latest issue).

… strengthening democratic ideas and action worldwide

Linked with Holt Ruffin – USA.

Our Mission: Civil Society International (CSI) assists independent organizations working for democracy and civil society in countries closed, or inhospitable, to these principles. We bring together in one place information about projects worldwide committed to the keystones of civil society: limited government, popular elections, and the rule of law; free association and expression; regulated, but open and market-oriented economies; aid to the poor, orphaned, elderly, sick, or disabled; and finally, civic cultures that value pluralism and individual liberty but also respect human needs for community and shared visions of the common good… (full text about 1/2).
