Armed conflict, Freedom of opinion & expression, Freedom of religion & belief

Amnesty International marks the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with the ‘Small Places Tour’. Inspired by Eleanor Roosevelt’s call for ‘concerted citizen action’ in her famous “small places” speech in 1958, musicians and fans will raise their voices in song and action in venues, cities, towns, communities, neighborhoods and workplaces. Through hundreds of concerts held around the world, we will draw attention to urgent human rights concerns, recruit thousands of new human rights activists and, hopefully, raise much needed funds for Amnesty campaigns. Amnesty’s 2008 priority campaigns include working to stop violence against women, stopping torture, ending the killing in Darfur, controlling small arms, demanding the closure of Guantánamo, challenging China’s human rights record including its actions in Tibet and working for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and other political prisoners in Burma.

The requested assistance to this urgent global concern has been declined. Political and Religious Institutions or Bodies herewith delivered have neglected to establish conditions under which Justice and Respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of national and international Law can be maintained. It is discernible that Restoration of Political and Religious administration and its execution at the local, national and international level to its original design, is under compulsion. This calls for Wisdom.PLEASE SEE THE SECTION "ABOUT US" TO LEARN MORE.
