Key happenings included the Annual Ministerial Review (AMR) (28 June – 1 July), Development Cooperation Forum (DCF) (29 -30 June); and a High-level policy dialogue (2 July).

24 JULY 2010 / LAUNCH / GLOBAL COMMISSION ON HIV AND LAW: The Global Commission on HIV and Law was officially launched on June 24, 2010 by Helen Clark, Administrator, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Michel Sidibe, Executive Director, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV / AIDS (UNAIDS). The Commission’s goal is to develop actionable, evidence-informed and human rights-based recommendations supporting national legal environments that enable effective HIV responses and realize the human rights of those living with and affected by HIV. The Commission will focus on some of the most challenging legal and human rights issues in the context of HIV, including criminalization of HIV transmission and behaviours and practices. The Commission is comprised of eminent leaders from public life who will provide global leadership on HIV-related legal and human rights issues. Read more here and here.

29 JULY 2010 / GA DECLARES THAT SAFE AND CLEAN DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION IS A HUMAN RIGHT: The General Assembly declared that safe and clean drinking water and sanitation is a human right essential to the full enjoyment of life and all other human rights, voicing deep concern that almost 900 million people worldwide do not have access to clean water and more than 2.6 billion people do not have access to basic sanitation. Studies indicate approx. 1.5 million children under the age of 5 die each year because of water and sanitation-related diseases.  Catarina de Albuquerque, the UN Independent Expert on human rights, water and sanitation welcomed the GA declaration calling it a ‘landmark resolution’ that sends an important signal to the world and underlined ‘the fact that the right to water and sanitation was recognized, demonstrates that the General Assembly, instead of creating a new right rather formally acknowledged its existence. Hence the existing human rights framework, in particular the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, fully applies in this context. This is particularly welcome when the world is preparing to meet in New York in September to review progress towards the Millennium Development Goals. I hope that the adoption of this resolution by the GA will ensure that sanitation and water are not forgotten at the September Summit’. Read more here and here.

Reports, Articles and Books:

JULY 2010 / ARTICLE / HIV, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN, VOL 10, ISSUE 7: Article published in The Lancet, focusing specifically on criminalization of same-sex conduct and its public health impact, the issue of human rights for men who have sex with men and how national and local attitudes can affect the spread of HIV and AIDS. In the 20 years since homosexuality was removed from the list of mental health disorders by the World Health Assembly, there has been substantial progress towards greater public acceptance and legal protection for men who have sex with men. In many parts of the world, however, denial of health care, stigmatization by health-care workers, and the continued ‘pathologisation’ of homosexuality is still a reality. Access the article here.

REPORT / IRREGULAR MIGRATION, MIGRANT SMUGGLING AND HUMAN RIGHTS: TOWARDS COHERENCE, ICHRP: Migration policies across the world are driven by three core concerns: border and law enforcement, economic interest, and protection. This report by the International Council on Human Rights Policy (ICHRP) argues that official policies are failing partly because protection has been marginalized. Discussion of migration tends to be widely polarized and distorted by xenophobia and racism. The report suggests that it is in governments’ interest to affirm their legal and moral responsibility to protect everyone, including migrants. Human rights law provides a baseline of essential protection for migrants, and the components of a more balanced and rational policy approach. The High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ms. Navanethem Pillay also spoke in support of the policies recommended in the latest ICHRP report at the launch stating ‘The ICHRP report aptly describes the plight of irregular migrants and human smuggling victims. This is one of today’s most critical, and indeed most complex, human rights challenges’. Read more here and access the report here [English, Spanish and French].

JUNE 2010 / REPORT / INDEPENDENT EXPERT ON THE ISSUE OF HUMAN RIGHTS OBLIGATIONS RELATED TO ACCESS TO SAFE DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION, OHCHR [Contributed, with thanks, by Daniel Spalthoff, OHCHR, Geneva]: In this report, the independent expert focuses on the human rights obligations and responsibilities which apply in cases of non-State service provision of water and sanitation. The author begins with an overview of the role that non-State service providers play in delivering water and sanitation throughout the world and continues by outlining the human rights obligations of States and the responsibilities of non-State service providers and highlights three main areas where challenges can be faced in this regard: decision-making, operation of services, and accountability and enforcement.

23 JUNE 2010 / MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS REPORT 2010 / EFFORTS TO BOOST MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH FALLING SHORT: The Millennium Development Goals (MDG) Report 2010 launched by the Secretary-General outlines findings on progress towards achieving the MDGs. It particularly highlights concerns about MDG 5, with its target of reducing maternal deaths by three quarters between 1990 and 2015.  Progress has been recorded by many countries on maternal mortality, and the latest preliminary data indicate that some countries have achieved significant declines. However, it is also stated that the rate of reduction in maternal deaths is well short of the 5.5 percent annual reduction needed to meet the goal.  UNFPA Executive Director Thoraya Ahmed Obaid welcomed the report and stated ‘to speed up progress, we must invest more in reproductive health for women and girls… Evidence from research and from the progress made so far prove that investing in women is not only the right thing to do, it is also smart economics. When women are health and survive, they provide enormous social and economic benefits for their families, communities and nations’. Read more here and access the report here.

BOOK / LEGAL EMPOWERMENT AND JUSTICE FOR THE POOR, IDLO: The concept of legal empowerment has become an important element of the development agenda over the past decade. While there remains no universal agreement as to where the bounds of the concept should lie, there are compelling reasons for including social as well as economic development in legal empowerment programming. Legal empowerment programs developing the capacity of communities to use the law to claim and defend their rights are important to maximize the potential for law to improve the lives of the poor and disadvantaged populations. This report by the International Development Law Organization (IDLO) captures the collective experiences of legal empowerment practitioners working across the spectrum of this emerging field. Access  the book here.

JUNE 2010 / REPORT / CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE HUMAN RIGHTS TO WATER AND SANITATION, OHCHR [Contributed, with thanks, by Daniel Spalthoff, OHCHR, Geneva]: This paper examines the legal obligations concerning the rights to water and to sanitation, as well as those arising from the climate change regime.

05 JULY 2010 / PUBLICATION / HOW POOR IS ‘POOR’? TOWARDS A RIGHTS-BASED POVERTY LINE, NEF [Contributed, with thanks, by Julia Kercher, UNDP New York]: The ‘dollar-a-day’ definition of poverty has been widely adopted by the international community. But this definition focuses exclusively on one aspect of poverty, namely income, to the exclusion of other critical aspects of deprivation, such as assets, access to essential services, and social exclusion. This paper summarises the fundamental problems with the $1-a-day approach, and what they mean for what we think we know about poverty. It goes on to review other alternatives including a rights-based poverty line, to assess whether they provide a more viable alternative. Read more here and access the report here.

30 JUNE 2010 / BOOKLET / VIOLENCE – AN ANALYTICAL INVENTORY OF PEACEKEEPING PRACTICE: Addressing Conflict-Related Sexual Violence – an Analytical Inventory of Peacekeeping Practice issued by UNIFEM, UN DPKO on behalf of UN Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict, captures best practices and emerging elements for a more effective response by peacekeepers to women’s security concerns including direct and indirect efforts to combat sexual violence during and in the wake of war including highlighting human rights concerns in peacekeeping operations; human rights training / sensitization.

10 JUNE / REPORT / 2010 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AGENCY FOR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS (FRA): The 2010 Annual Report FRA identifies challenges in the areas of data protection, extreme exploitation in the workplace, rights of the child, racism and discrimination, and LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender issues) and provides concrete and comparative data on the situation on the ground in the 27 EU Member States. The Agency’s surveys and studies undertaken in 2009 in particular show that many equality bodies, national human rights institutions and data protection authorities lack resources, are not independent enough, and often have very weak mandates. The Report also collects examples of good practices that Member States can build on to improve fundamental rights protection in their respective country. Access the report here.

09 JUNE 2010 / REPORT / FROM PROMISE TO DELIVERY: PUTTING HUMAN RIGHTS AT THE HEART OF THE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL: In a new report looking at how to strengthen the MDGs, AI highlights how key targets fall short of existing international human rights standards and warns that governments risk failing some of the world’s most impoverished and vulnerable groups unless human rights are put at the centre of efforts to eradicate poverty. The report also outlines crucial steps governments can take to deliver meaningful progress on the MDGs over the next five years and calls on governments to ensure all MDG initiatives are consistent with human rights; address discrimination experienced by women; set national targets for delivery; fulfill the right of participation and strengthen mechanisms for accountability. Three main issues – gender equality, maternal health and slums – are highlighted in the report to illustrate the gulf between the current MDG framework and international human rights standards.

25 JUNE / PUBLICATION / CENTRE ON HOUSING RIGHTS AND EVICTIONS (COHRE) / HOUSING AND ESC RIGHTS LAW QUARTERLY, VOL.7- NO.2: National and international legal developments on housing and economic, social and cultural rights for housing rights lawyers, advocates and other interested parties. Access the Quarterly publication here.

07 JULY 2010 / REPORT/ INSECURITY AND INDIGNITY: WOMEN’S EXPERIENCES IN THE SLUMS OF NAIROBI, KENYA, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL: This report by Amnesty International demonstrates that lack of access to toilets and private bathing areas in the immediate vicinity of the home puts women at risk of gender-based violence and undermines their dignity and health. The report documents that Nairobi’s informal settlements have been excluded from public services such as water, sanitation and adequate policing. It shows that Kenya’s efforts to meet the MDGs related to sanitation are lacking in that they do not make adequate provision for particularly disadvantaged groups- specifically women living in slums.
