FIDH
Amnesty International, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network, FIDH, Front Line Defenders, Human Rights Watch and Reporters Without Borders have come together to work jointly, with other international, regional and Syrian organizations, to campaign for the release of civil society activists, media and medical workers arbitrarily detained or forcibly disappeared in Syria. Since the start of the popular protests in Syria in March 2011, more than 200,000 people have been killed, millions of Syrians have become refugees, while thousands of civilians have been arrested, detained, abducted, tortured and, in some cases, subjected to enforced disappearance merely for exercising their fundamental rights.

The Refugee Dilemma: Afghans in Pakistan between expulsion and failing aid schemes

AAN
Nearly 52,000 Afghans living in Pakistan have, within the past ten weeks, packed their belongings and crossed the border back into Afghanistan – more than twice as many as in the whole 12 months of 2014. This started after an attack of Pakistani Taleban on a public army school in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, on 16 December, killing 132 children and at least nine adults. The attack had allegedly been planned in Afghanistan and there were rumours that Afghans might have been among the facilitators. READ MORE

The Economist
RUSSIA is not the only former Soviet republic where opposition leaders are being gunned down in the street. Last week, Umarali Kuvatov, leader of a Tajik movement called Group 24, who fled the country in 2012 reportedly after a business deal with the president’s son-in-law went wrong, fell ill while having dinner in Istanbul. That (speculate the Turkish media) was a result of poisoning. Whether true or not, when he went outside for medical help, he was shot in the back of the head. His assassin vanished. READ MORE

When Russia sneezes, Central Asia catches a cold

Open Democracy
The economic crisis that has befallen Russia since the imposition of US/EU sanctions in 2014, has sent shockwaves through Russia’s business and economic sectors. Russia’s financial crisis has produced a contagious effect in Central Asia, where cheap oil is exacerbating the poor economic outlook. In the light of the perfect storm that is hitting Russia, Central Asia will face more than a few squalls. Recently, The International Monetary Fund (IMF) downgraded the economic outlook of post-Soviet countries. The IMF is forecasting that Central Asian oil- and gas -exporting countries – Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan – will expand by 4.9% (-0.8%) in 2015 while energy importers Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan are expected to grow by 4.4% (-0.4%).

74 Essential Books for Your Personal Library: A List Curated by Female Creatives
|
|
|
|
Open Culture
I decided to put a suggestion to a group of international women writers, artists and curators, and we compiled our own list of 74 ‘great works of literature’ — one just as varied, loose and substantial as that of Borges, but made up solely of writers identifying as women or non-gender-binary. Over two days we amassed many suggestions, which I’ve now curated to form the list below. It’s not intended to invalidate the original, but rather to serve as an accompaniment to highlight and encourage a dialogue on gender imbalances in creative and intellectual realms, as well as to provide a balance by actively ‘equalising’ that of Jorge Luis Borges.

بیست سال پیش، یکی از نامزدهای جمهوری خواه
در انتخابات ریاست جمهوری آمریکا، کنگره این کشور را با «سرزمین اشغال شده اسرائیلی»
مقایسه کرده بود. در سال ۲۰۱۵، این که یک رهبر جمهوری خواه بتواند چنین پیمان شکنانه
سخن راند، غیرقابل تصور است . واقعیت این است که نتانیاهو و عقایدش بدون مقاومت و بدون
زحمت چندانی در محفل مجلسیان واشینگتن پذیرفته می شود. نتانیاهو در کنست [مجلس] اسرائیل
با مخالفت بیشتری مواجه است.

Human Rights Watch
Afghanistan’s new government should prosecute officials and commanders whose serious human rights abuses have long gone unpunished, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. US officials should press President Ashraf Ghani to take up justice for past abuses as a top priority during Ghani’s expected March 2015 visit to Washington, DC. “The previous Afghan government and the United States enabled powerful and abusive individuals and their forces to commit atrocities for too long without being held to account,” said Phelim Kine, deputy Asia director. “The Ghani administration has already taken the welcome step of launching a national action plan to eliminate torture. The United States, which helped install numerous warlords and strongmen after the overthrow of the Taliban, should now lead an international effort to support the new government to remove serious human rights abusers from their ranks”. The 96-page report, “‘ Today We Shall All Die’: Afghanistan’s Strongmen and the Legacy of Impunity,” profiles eight “strongmen” linked to police, intelligence, and militia forces responsible for serious abuses in recent years. The report documents emblematic incidents that reflect longstanding patterns of violence for which victims obtained no official redress. READ MORE

The Guardian
World leaders have pledged action to fully implement laws designed to protect women’s rights and end discriminatory practices, following weeks of closed-door discussions that have been criticised by women’s rights activists. At the opening of the UN’s Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in New York on Monday, government ministers adopted a political declaration confirming their commitment to achieve gender equality by 2030. However, almost 1,000 women’s rights and feminist groups issued a statement attacking the lack of transparency in the discussions around the declaration, which they said had resulted in a document that lacked ambition. In her opening speech to the CSW, the executive director of UN Women, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, told member states that progress towards achieving the ambitions of the Beijing platform for action, which has become a blueprint for gender equality, had been slow and uneven. “Serious stagnation and even regression” was evident in several areas, she added.

IRIN
The United Nations Security Council has “failed” the Syrian people, according to some of the world’s largest NGOs. A " report card" compiled by more than 20 aid organisations working in and around Syria – including Oxfam, Save the Children and World Vision – gives the Security Council and the wider world a fail grade for attempts to stop the killing and to get aid to those most in need. The damning appraisal comes ahead of the fourth anniversary of the conflict, which has displaced more than 7.6 million Syrians internally and caused some 3.8 million others to become refugees in other countries. A year ago, the Security Council passed Resolution 2139, which urged states to vastly increase aid to people in need across the country.

NY Review of Books
In April 2014 I received a letter from the University of Tehran, inviting me to deliver the keynote address to the first Iranian Shakespeare Congress. Instantly, I decided to go. I had dreamed of visiting Iran for a very long time. Many years ago, when I was a student at Cambridge, I came across a book of pictures of Achaemenid art, the art of the age of Cyrus and Darius and Xerxes. Struck by the elegance, sophistication, and strangeness of what I saw, I took the train to London and in the British Museum stood staring in wonder at fluted, horn-shaped drinking vessels, griffin-headed bracelets, a tiny gold chariot drawn by four exquisite gold horses, and other implausible survivals from the vanished Persian world.
