February 28, 2005Human Rights ReportThe US State Department has just released their "Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2004", covering 196 countries. Considering the source, I found the Guatemalan report to be a surprisingly unbiased and extremely detailed review of the current human rights situation here. The comprehensive summary covers assassinations, disappearances, torture, arbitrary arrests, corruption, military embezzlement, threats, violence against women, labor violations, child prostitution, racism, and other human rights violations. Over the next few days I will try to break the Report into more accessible pieces, as the full report can be daunting... as well as depressing. For those of you who wish to read the complete document, the address is: http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2004/41762.htm Comments
Thanks for the link Rob, I don't have any intention of hitting it right now - its too early. The boys are in a really good mood bc schools are closed. Sarah still got up at 6. She doesn't underestand the "sleep late on non-school days." We will have to work on that. We have about 8" or so and it is still snowing. Wishing you a nice warm, dry, sunny day!
