 | Peter Gabriel on human rights and citizen journalism http://www.ted.com Musician and activist Peter Gabriel explains the personal motivation behind his work with human-rights watchdog Witness. He shares stories of everyday people using video cameras to expose human rights abuses around the world, and poses the question: if injustice happens and a camera is there to capture it, can it be ignored? Peter Gabriel first took the musical stage by storm with the band Genesis, but has enjoyed a successful solo career with hits like "In Your Eyes." In 1989 he founded the Real World label for global music and the Real World Studios in Bath, England.

North Korea is a prison state- there are no freedoms of religion, speech, movement, assembly- even the right to leave the nation is barred from the people. Hundreds of thousands of North Koreans have fled to neighboring China, only to be hunted down by Chinese authorities and sent back to North Korea to face torture and death; or to be sold by brokers and smugglers as labor or sexual slaves. An additional 15,000 North Koreans toil in slave labor camps outside North... |
 | Prequel: The APPROVED Speeches at UN Human Rights Council Prequel to banned March 23, 2007 speech by UN Watch's Hillel Neuer to UN Human Rights Council. Ambassador Luis Alfonso de Alba of Mexico, first president of the council, duly thanks every offensive statement at the supposedly reformed council: denial of crimes in Darfur; mocking of human rights experts; invective against women and gays; glorification of terrorism; Holocaust denial; demonization of Israel -- all of that was admissible. De Alba ruled only one statement "inadmissible": UN Watch's criticism of the Council for ignoring victims of violations in 192 countries, and its failure to live up to the noble dream of its founders. |
