Pages: 17

Date: 1 June 1994

Title:Colombia: Children and minors: victims of political violence

Abstract:Children in Colombia are frequently the victims of human rights violations. In areas

of armed conflict young people have been killed, "disappeared" or been subject

to harassment and torture by the military. Others have been killed when caught

in the crossfire between guerilla groups and the security forces. In the cities

thousands of street children live in constant fear of attack by "death squads".

There have been growing numbers of reports of killings of "social undesirables"

(desechables sociales) in so-called social cleansing operations (operaciones de

limpieza social). The majority of such murders are attributed to the so-called

"death squads" who have links with the national police. This report contains

details of a number of illustrative cases.

Title:India: Reaction to the government response to Amnesty International's report on "disappearances" and impunity in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab

Abstract:Following the issue of a disappointing response by the Indian Government to an AI

report in December 1993, this report challenges the Indian Government to

respond seriously to more than 200 cases of "disappearance" in Jammu and

Kashmir and Punjab. The government response concentrated on the Indian

Government's views on the political dispute between India and Pakistan and on

abuses - condemned by AI - perpetrated by armed opposition groups. Only a few

pages dealt with the pattern of "disappearances" in these two states. Several

cases of "disappeared" individuals are commented upon here. They are:

Mohammed Maqbool Bhat; Javid Ahmad Ahangar; Syed Basharat Ahmad Shah;

Mohammad Shafi Dar; Wahid Ahmed Ahangar; Peer Mohammed Shafi;

Manzoor Ahmed Zarger; Rouf Ahmed Shah; Javeed Ahmad Shalla and

Mohammed Sidiq Sofi; and Ashaq Hussain Ganai.

Title:South Korea: Appeal for the release of Kim Sun-myung: held for 42 years

Abstract:AI is appealing for the release of Kim Sun-myung, 69, a former textile worker who

has been in prison in conditions of extreme isolation since 1951. AI believes that

his refusal to sign a statement of "conversion", renouncing his alleged

communist views, is the reason why he has been held for so long in poor

conditions. Kim Sun-myung was reportedly during interrogation after arrest and

convicted unfairly.

Title:The Un Advisory Services and Technical Assistance Program

Abstract:In the 38 years that the United Nations (UN) program of advisory services and

technical assistance has been in existence, the political context in which the UN

operates has changed radically. International standards for human rights

protection and UN mechanisms for dealing with human rights violations have

also undergone profound change. This document considers how the UN

Commission on Human Rights has used the advisory services and technical

assistance program and presents AI's proposals for ensuring that the limited

resources available to this program can be used in future to maximum

advantage to promote and protect human rights.

Title:A call for UN human rights action on Rwanda and Burundi

Abstract:In this document AI sets out its recommendations for urgent and coordinated

human rights action by the UN on both Rwanda and Burundi. A special session

of the Commission is to be held on 24 and 25 May. AI is calling on this special

session to: (i) appoint Special Rapporteurs on Rwanda and Burundi to visit the

region within days; and (ii) urgently send the Commission's own thematic experts

to work with the Special Rapporteurs in investigating the situation. AI

recommends that the Commission calls on other UN bodies, as well as the OAU

to: (i) strengthen the human rights provision in the Arusha Peace Accords; (ii)

establish an effective human rights presence in Rwanda; and (iii) ensure close

UN/OAU cooperation. AI calls on the Commission to send a message to the

international community that it must strongly support (i) the UN High

Commissioner for Human Rights in developing a long-term human rights

program for these countries; (ii) the establishment of independent, impartial

commissions of inquiry; and (iii) effective steps to bring human rights violators to

justice.
