Bowen growers bounce back and beyond
The vegetable harvest in one of Australia's most important winter growing regions is bouncing back after a string of bad seasons.
The Bowen-Gumlu growing region in north Queensland is the largest supplier of tomatoes and capsicums to Australian supermarkets in the winter months.
In 2010, the local industry suffered significant economic loss when tomato plants in the region were deliberately poisoned.
The problem was compounded over the last two years because of extreme cold and wet weather.
But capsicum and tomato farmer, Jamie Jurgens, says this year things are now starting to turn around.
"This year the weather has been pleasant, the crops are looking good and the yields are good," he said.
"We can get nice quality produce and good quality out of the blocks."
Horticulture is a large part of the local economy and makes up around $400 million of the nation's $9 billion horticulture sector.
But a recent plan announced by the Queensland Government to double the state's agricultural output by 2040 means Bowen's production is set to increase.
Mr Jurgens says research and development will be the key to the success of this plan.
"We can have a look at different breeding programs that will produce varieties that give longer productivity and higher yields," he said.
"I support the Government wanting to double our production by 2040 but it will only happen with its help."
Tomato grower Leanne Born says finding new export markets must come before any expansion of Bowen's farming sector.
"It's no use us producing more product, which we all have the capability of doing, if we can't sell it for a profit and remain a sustainable business. "
"We just have to continue to look at the new technologies available and energy efficiencies.
"But also with any expansion we need to be mindful that we're near the Great Barrier Reef.
"We spend a significant amount of money putting in sediment traps to assist in farm runoff.
"We are also looking at using biodegradable plastic mulch to grow our tomatoes on."

Iraq - Violence Against Peaceful Protest
Iraq: Use of Violence Against Peaceful Protests Rally in Baghdad
On the 17th of February 2017, the Geneva International Centre for Justice (GICJ) sent a letter to Mr. Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, in light of recent cases of violent closure of democratic space in Iraq. The letter reiterates that despite frequent reports of cases of abuses and repression, the Iraqi government unabatedly continues to severely infringe on its citizens' fundamental rights, including freedom of expression and association – cornerstones of democratic debate.
Palestine - Israel's Settlement Bill
The Overt "Legalization" of the Illegal:
Israel's Settlement Bill Advances Annexation of Occupied Palestine
On Monday night, 6 February 2017, the Israeli Knesset passed the so-called "Regulation Bill", which provides for the retroactive "legalization" of around 4,000 illegal settlement homes built on privately owned Palestinian land. While all settlements are considered illegal under international law, Israel hitherto distinguished between those it formally authorized and those it did not, the latter of which are termed "outposts". The bill "legalizes" outposts hitherto deemed illegal even under Israeli law due to their location outside Government-held land in Area C, and allows for the expropriation of land in more than fifty settlements and outposts. Numerous demolition orders against Palestinian property have already been issued by Israeli authorities.
The inauguration of Donald Trump
GICJ letter to president Trump:
The US must live up to its responsibilities
20 January 2017 - Today is an important date in the history of the United States of America. Mr. Donald Trump becomes the 45th President in a tradition that is over 200 years old - the presidential and vice-presidential inauguration. The world is looking at Washington and trying to anticipate the policies of the Trump cabinet. Not much was mentioned on foreign policy by the President-elect Trump during his election campaign, except categorical criticism of the US errors of omission and commission in Iran, Iraq, Libya and Syria. Trump's reference to "peace through strength" and that "actions in the Middle East to be tempered by realism" generate many questions. Moreover, the position of Trump's national security team on the assertive and interventionist approach to the so called "civilizational clash" and the world war of the West and Radical Islam is alarming.
The Human Rights situation in Palestine
Flouting International Law
On 23 December 2016, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) passed resolution 2334 demanding Israel to "immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem". The construction of settlements was reaffirmed to have "no legal validity" and to constitute a "flagrant violation of international law". The US, which has traditionally vetoed resolutions critical of Israeli policies and practices, abstained with the Obama administration approaching its end.
Resounding Silence over Israeli State Terrorism
Jerusalem Truck Attack: Repercussions of the violent reality of Israeli occupation
On Sunday, 8 January 2017, a Palestinian drove a truck into a troop of Israeli soldiers in Jerusalem, killing four and wounding at least 13 others. The driver was identified as Fadi Ahmad Al-Qunbar, 28, a resident of the nearby Palestinian neighborhood of Jabal al-Mukabbir in East Jerusalem. The attack occurred at the so-called "Armon Hanatziv Promenade", near the invisible border dividing occupied East Jerusalem and West Jerusalem. While some voices condemn the attack as act of "terror", others view it as part (consequence) of Palestinian resistance against the Israeli occupation.
Human Rights Day 2016
The International Human Rights Day is annually celebrated across the world to commemorate the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the recognition of its principles as the "common standard of achievement for all people and all nations". Sixty-eight years have gone by since and one would think that the human rights situation would have been at least a bit more secure. On the contrary, the realization of this comprehensive international framework for the protection of human rights is far from being achieved today. Indeed, the instruments and mechanisms established by the international community are shamelessly disregarded by their very same creators. We have now reached an unprecedented level of antagonism and callous unconcern for the human suffering in general.
Why one may ask. Because protecting the human rights of all requires a genuine commitment that puts human race as the focal point. In these circumstances, in a society built upon economic and political interests, where the wealth of a minority prevails upon the wellbeing of the majority, human rights will never be a priority.
The Genocide Convention
Recognizing the warning signs and renewing our "never-again" spirit
International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and of the Prevention of this Crime
Today, the 9th December 2016, the world celebrates the International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and of the Prevention of this Crime. This significant occurrence was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 to commemorate the anniversary of the adoption of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (the "Genocide Convention").
Human Rights Council - Organizational Session
Iraq : the new vice president of the HRC with a shocking human rights record
The Organizational Session for the 11th Cycle of the Human Rights Council (HRC) announced on 5th December 2016 that Iraq will be one of the four elected vice-presidents of the Council as of January 2017. The country, whose mandate in this position will last over the course of the entire year (up until the 31st of December 2017), has been appointed in representation of the Asia-Pacific geographical area. The other three mandate-holders will be respectively Egypt for Africa, Switzerland for Western Europe and Georgia for Eastern Europe.
Despite the role of the Bureau is mostly that of a facilitator during the different debates between states, main actors of the Council, and that its responsibilities are limited to procedural and organisational matters, it is still an undeniably prominent position to hold within the United Nations system.
GICJ latest Urgent Appeals to the UN
Legitimizing terrorism and mainstreaming sectarianism in Iraq
Iraqi Parliament approves the integration of the Popular Mobilization forces to the regular security forces
On Saturday 26th November 2016, the Iraqi Parliament approved the law recognizing the umbrella organization called Al-Hashd Al-Shaabi as a legal and separate military corps. These armed Shi'ite militias have thus been legitimized as a state-sanctioned entity, guarantying military-level wages for all their fighters. This decision, strongly opposed by the Sunni minority, will only further sectarian rivalries and fuel the current chaos destroying Iraq.
Iraq: Towards Another Humanitarian Catastrophe
On 21 November 2016, Geneva International Centre for Justice (GICJ) sent a follow-up update to Mr Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Right, with regards to the systematic violations committed by the Iraqi security forces and their affiliated militia units in different parts of Iraq.

New War Crimes by the Iraqi Security Forces and Militias
When fighting ISIS becomes the pretext for murdering civilians
As the battle to retake Mosul from ISIS intensifies in November 2016, accusations of grave violations at the hands of the Iraqi Security Forces and militias participating to the military campaign are rampant. On 16 November 2016, GICJ sent an urgent appeal to Mr Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, expressing its deep distress for the situation and requesting a clearer and stronger intervention by his Office on the matter.

Exporting Terrorism
Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People - 2016
International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People
29 November 2016
"You can't have occupation and human rights."
Since 1977, when the General Assembly adopted resolution 32/40 B on the "Question of Palestine", the 29 November was established as the international day of solidarity with the Palestinian people. On this day, the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People arranges a special meeting at the UN Headquarters in New York where the President of the Security Council, the President of General Assembly, and representatives of relevant UN bodies express solidarity with the Palestinian issue. Moreover, messages of solidarity are delivered by governments and civil society, films on Palestine are screened, and exhibitions and cultural events are organized.
OPCAT 10th Anniversary
Tenth anniversary of the entry into force of
The Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment
On Thursday 17 November, the Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment celebrated the tenth anniversary of the entry into force of the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (OPCAT). This treaty was elaborated to compliment the 1987 Convention against Torture with the aim of establishing a system of regular visits undertaken by independent international and national bodies to State Parties where people are deprived of their liberties and subjected to this illegal practice.
GICJ Training Workshop - July 2016
In collaboration with the United Nations, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), GICJ organized a Training Workshop on International Law, Human Rights and Justice Mechanisms for the period from 18th to 26th July 2016.
The Training took place in The Hague in the Netherlands and in Geneva, Switzerland.
The feedback of the participants was very positive and they generally conveyed that the training provided them with a lot of in-depth information on international law, human rights and justice mechanisms as well as excellent opportunities of witnessing the real-life application of such mechanisms. The participants found that visiting the ICJ, the ICC and the STL as well as the headquarters of the UN was also one of the most stimulating parts of the training and represented a valuable learning experience as well as a unique chance to see some of the most important international bodies to govern international relations and administer justice across the globe.
The situation in Iraq - Fallujah
A brief report on the dramatic human rights violations occurring inside and outside the city of Fallujah, Iraq
This report intends shedding light on the crimes and human rights violations which are taking place in Fallujah, Iraq. In May 2016, the city was, in fact, subjected to a wide military campaign under the pretext of fighting ISIS. Such destructive campaign, under the name of "Liberate Fallujah", is proving deleterious for the thousands of people trapped in the city who are falling victims of the bombardments.
In addition, those who manage to escape the conflict and seek for help are instead arbitrarily detained by a various range of pro-government militia organizations. The innocent and unarmed civilians that fall in the hands of militias are deprived from water and food, and are subjected to heinous treatments, including verbal and psychological abuse, as well as disturbing practices of torture. Hundreds of them are then slaughtered and summarily executed in batches on the claims of allegedly belonging to ISIS.
Iraq War Inquiry - Chilcot Report on Iraq war is released
The Chilcot Inquiry : revelation or whitewash ?
On 6th July 2016, Geneva International Centre for Justice (GICJ) has issued a statement in light of the long-awaited publication of the Report of the Iraqi Inquiry.
Among the key findings of the report were the fact that the UK chose to invade Iraq together with the Coalition "before all peaceful options for disarmament had been exhausted"; military action was "not a last resort"; the formal decision to invade Iraq was based on flawed intelligence and assessments; and the UK had no credible evidence that Iraq had nuclear capabilities that constituted a direct threat to the UK or its citizenry.
The war on terror - Mosul
Mosul: the terrors of the "war on terror"
Though the past months have been particularly bloody, Mosul has been a theatre of horrors since the ISIS occupation in 2014. Since August 2014, our sources reported that an approximate number of 600 civilians (although it is very likely that the number is in truth much higher due to the difficulty in tracking the exact number of victims for each attack) lost their lives in the city by the hand of both ISIS fighters and the Coalition airstrikes against them.
GICJ has collected videos and other kinds of evidence, such as pictures, tweets, articles, videos and testimonies that reveal what is not covered by the media: an air campaign that targets civilian locations and results in the killing and harming of hundreds of people. This deliberate attempt of covering up such actions, that just simply amount to war crimes, in order to shift public opinion in favour of the anti-terrorist campaign happens at the expenses of Iraqi civilians and is somewhat regular.
Death penalty in Iraq
Iraq: life on death row
On 11th May 2016, Geneva International Centre for Justice sent an urgent appeal to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Mr Mr Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, to the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions Christof Heyns, and finally to the Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers Ms. Mónica Pinto, in order to demand a prompt action concerning to the latest wave of execution that is taking place in Iraq.
On the 10th May 2016, in fact, Khalid al-Shawani, spokesman of the presidency, released a statement in which he announced the ratification by the president of a "batch" of death penalties that are due to be carried out at any time from now. This wave of executions follows many others, latest of which occurred on the 31st January 2016.
The destruction of Al-Quds hospital
Syria: when the tragedy goes further
The destruction of Al-Quds hospital leaves 250,000 people in increasing danger of being left without medical care
The damaged Al-Quds hospital after the bombing- The doors and windows were covered by sandbags in an attempt to keep out bullets and shrapnel, but these provided no protection against air strikes.
Alessia Vedano, Human rights officer at GICJ
28th April 2016 marks another sad date in the history of the already very bloody Syrian civil war. An airstrike was carried out on the al-Quds paediatric hospital in Aleppo, which resulted in the killing of at least 27 people, including three children and six staff members. The 34-bed hospital offered services including an emergency room, obstetric care, an outpatients department, an inpatients department, an intensive care unit and an operating theatre and was therefore a vital asset for the citizens.
Sudan's UPR - 2016
25th Session of the UPR Working Group
Review of Sudan
United Nations - Geneva - 4 May 2016
The 25th session of the Universal Periodic Review working group (UPR) is taking place at the United Nations Offices in Geneva from 3 to 13 May 2016. During this second cycle of the UPR, the performance of Sudan towards its obligations in relation to human rights has been reviewed.
The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a unique process which involves an over all evalouation of the human rights records of all UN Member States. Under the auspices of the Human Rights Council, this exercise provides the opportunity for each State to declare what actions they have taken to improve the human rights situations in their countries and to fulfil their human rights obligations. As one of the main features of the Council, the UPR is designed to ensure equal treatment for every country when their human rights situations are assessed.
The review of Sudan opened with the presentation of the National Report submitted by the Sudanese delegation, headed by Minister of Justice of Sudan Mr Awad Elhassan Elnour Khalifa followed by an interactive dialogue with the UN member states.
GICJ Side-event on terrorism
ISIS and other terrorist groups
GICJ in collaboration with the International Organization for the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination (EAFORD) and several other NGOs organized a side event during the 31st session of the Human Rights Council in the United Nations in Geneva on 16 March 2016 on the subject of ISIS and other terrorist groups. The panellists presented and described the most influential militias active in some Middle Eastern countries, and discussed the role played by regional powers in exporting terrorism through the provision of financial, military and intelligence support to them, and the responsibility of the international community regarding this phenomenon.
Presenting and elaborating on the most important terrorist groups operating in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen and their extensions in other Arab countries, the distinguished panellists were: Mr Sabah Al-Mukhtar, President of the Arab Lawyers Association in the United Kingdom; Mr. Tahar Boumedra, former Chief of the Human Rights Office of the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI); Ambassador Mr Ibrahim al-Adoufi, former Permanent Representative of the Republic of Yemen in Geneva; and Mr. Struan Stevenson, former member of the European Parliament and President of the European Iraqi Freedom Association.
Human rights in Iraq - Diyala Province
IRAQ: Ethnic and Sectarian Cleansing In Diyala
Some of the key suspects of the crime of ethnic cleansing in the province of Diyala; from left to right: Prime Minister al-Abaddi, Iranian Quds forces general Qassem Suleimani and Former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki
Diyala province in Iraq witnessed an unprecedented increase in the displacement and killings of people on an ethnic and sectarian basis that has been taking place since the beginning of 2016.
GICJ has collected documented information and evidence in regards to these crimes, some of which have been obtained from people on the ground as well as members of the local authorities, emphasizing the active participation of the organs of power in the implementation of this heinous crime which is done due to the ethnic and religious background of the victims, the crime this time being directed intentionally against one specific category of people; the Sunni Arabs. This particular community is facing death, displacement and detention of hundreds of thousands of its members.
Geneva International Centre for Justice strongly accuses the government of Haider al-Abadi, of being legally responsible in being engaged unequivocally and intentionally in committing a crime of "ethnic cleansing" on the grounds of ethnicity and religion in the Diyala province of the Republic of Iraq.
The situation in Iraq
GICJ side event on
The Human Rights situation in Iraq
GICJ organized a side event on 10 March 2016 during the 31st session of the Human Rights Council at the United Nations Offices in Geneva, Switzerland, chaired by Mr Jan Lönn.
The aim of such event was that of addressing two particular phenomena that highly affect the population of Iraq, and that themselves constitute a grave breach of human rights States obligations: mass displacement and torture.
Although such issues have largely been debated and documented in the past, not only by GICJ, but by many other human rights organizations, nonetheless, with this side event we wanted to highlight the immense importance of continuing to tackle these violations since they are still ongoing at present, and we wanted to do so by providing the perspectives and opinions, the knowledge and personal experiences of two prominent speakers: Mr. Ali Shallal Al Qaysi, a survivor of inhuman torture practices within Abu Ghraib prison and Mr. Mostafa Kamel a noticeable journalist as well as the editor in chief of wijhatnadhar online platform.
GICJ and LCILP joint event series
Roundtable Discussion on the International Legal Issues Surrounding the Funding and Arming of Rebel Groups in Yemen
Press Release
Geneva, 23 December 2015
Geneva International Centre for Justice (GICJ) and the London Centre for International Law Practice (LCILP) convened a roundtable of experts to discuss the international legal issues surrounding the funding and arming of rebel groups in Yemen, as part of a joint event series entitled International Legal and Humanitarian Issues surrounding conflicts in the Middle East.
The roundtable coincided with the conclusion of the most recent peace negotiations, which commenced on 15 December, relating to the ongoing conflict between the internationally recognised Government of Yemen and armed Houthi rebels. Peace talks will resume on 14 January 2016.
Human Rights in Palestine
Ensuring accountability and justice for the people of Palestine
On 3 July 2015, the Human Rights Council adopted a resolution titled "ensuring accountability and justice for all violations of international law in OPT, inc. East Jerusalem". The resolution came after the discussion on 29 June 2015 of the report submitted by the UN Independent Commission of Inquiry. The commission's report is clear and thorough in its account of the violations of international human rights and humanitarian law committed in the context of the conflict between 13 June and 26 August of 2014 in the Gaza strip. The commission clearly pointed out the responsibility of both political and military leaders for the violations of international law which tantamount to war crimes. The inclusion of this overall observation serves the purpose of singling out top Israeli leaders such as Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Executions in Iraq
Executions in Iraq, sectarian reprisals under combating terrorism?
Geneva, 3 February 2016
Iraqi president Fuad Masum again, rushed to authorize a third batch of
death sentences against innocent civilians convicted on terrorism
charges and signaled upon relevant authorities for immediate execution.
Authorities that often ignore international voices that condemn the
death sentence and call for its immediate cease.
The Iraqi judicial system does not adhere to the basic international standards required for fair trial, and accepts inadmissible confessions extracted under torture while, using the death penalty within the pretext of fighting terrorism as means of revenge against opponents, and on political or sectarian grounds.
The Centre maintains to acknowledge that Mr Masum recognizes the unfairness, and continues to ratify death sentences, thinking that he will not be held accountable for the murder of hundreds of innocent Iraqi civilians who would have under the conditions of a fair trial faced a different verdict.
Human Rights in Iraq
New torture Images Out: Will the United States Government Ratify its Obligations?
Geneva, 2 February 2016
As published:
-After 12 years of legal and political battles, the Pentagon will finally publish pictures showing the atrocities committed against detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan during the two wars that were launched by the United States against them.
-The American Civil Liberties Association announced on Wednesday that the US Department of Defence (Pentagon) is to publish 198 images depicting ill treatment of detainees.
Geneva International Centre for Justice (GICJ) has continued to bring forward the issue of torture to major international bodies including the United Nations Human Rights Council and United Nations Committee Against Torture and calls upon the international community to take all necessary action to bring the perpetrators of such heinous crimes to justice.
GICJ oral statements - 30th HRC session
The Human Rights Council concludes its 30th session
Oral statements delivered by GICJ
The Human Rights Council concluded its 30th session on 2 October 2015. GICJ participated actively in the session by delivering oral statements on the case of Palestine and Iraq and co-organised a side event on Human Rights in Palestine.
GICJ delivered three oral statements under agenda item 3, 4 and 7 of the Human Rights Council's agenda, and called the international community to address the root of the refugee crisis facing Europe, which is directly linked to the deteriorating human rights situation facing both Syria and Iraq. The prevailing impunity that has became the norm rather than the exception even for grave human rights violation in both these countries should no longer be tolerated.
Side Event - Human Rights in Palestine
Human Rights in Palestine
The situation in Jerusalem

The distinguished panellists of this event were: Mr Omer Khamisi, from the Meezan Association for Human Rights; Mr Issa Amro, OHCHR human rights defender of the year in Palestine 2009; Dr. Durgham Saif, from the Qudsona Organisation for Human Rights and Mr. Toby Cadman, from the International Forum of Democracy and Human Rights. The event was moderated by Ms. Daniela Donges, President of the Scales for Justice organisation.
56th session of the CESCR
GICJ participation at the 56th Session of the CESCR
The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) has
concluded its 56th session on 9 October 2015 and issued its concluding
observations on the report of Iraq.
The Committee expressed its concerns on many issues pertaining to the access and enjoyment by the people of Iraq of their economic, social and cultural rights.
Geneva International Centre for Justice (GICJ) participated in the review of Iraq and has submitted to the Committee its shadow report on the economic, social and cultural rights in Iraq.
Ms Eleanor McClelland presented the report on behalf of GICJ and delivered another statement at the Committee's plenary session.
In its report GICJ explained in details the failure of the Iraqi successive governments since 2003 to achieve any progress in the field of economic, social and cultural rights. On the contrary, the report stated clearly the deterioration of all these rights to very disturbing levels despite the overwhelming increase in Iraqi income from the sales of its oil after the lifting of the sanctions on the same year.

Iraq: Widespread use of torture & ill-treatment
Hans von Sponeck: We appeal, first and foremost, to the conscience of governments and civil society but also to their legal-mindedness not to accept impunity any longer.
Geneva International Centre for Justice (GICJ) is participating in the review of Iraq at the 55th session of the United Nations Committee Against Torture (CAT), from 27 July to 14 August 2015.
GICJ has submitted to the Committee its shadow report on torture in Iraq expressing its grave concern about the continued and widespread use of torture by different actors in the country.
GICJ has gathered extensive torture evidence. It has repeatedly brought such evidence to the attention of the United Nations Human Rights Council. GICJ therefore welcomes the review of Iraq's record by the Committee against Torture, and hopes that the Committee will be able to take all actions within its power to seek an end to the use of torture in Iraq.
Press release - GICJ Report on Migration
Swimming Against the Tides
Examining the EU Response to Irregular Migration through the Mediterranean Sea
Geneva International Centre for Justice released on 27 July 2015 its report 'Swimming Against the Tides: Examining the EU Response to Irregular Migration through the Mediterranean Sea.' GICJ has been following closely the recent developments at the European Commission with regards to irregular migration. GICJ wishes to highlight with this report the underlying causes of the crisis and the necessary steps that have to be taken to reach a sustainable solution.
GICJ concludes its report by recommending a number of steps to be taken by the EU for a comprehensive migration policy that must have provisions for tackling the root causes of migration such as underdevelopment, poverty and war. In dealing with underdevelopment, aid efforts are not undercut by economic policies and partnerships that impoverish the African continent, as well as other developing nation.

U.S Continues Leading From Behind
Universal Periodic Review reveals longstanding unwillingness to fully commit to obligations of pertinent human rights treaties
On 11 May 2015, the United States of America participated in its second Universal Periodic Review (UPR). The Universal Periodic Review is meant to be a mechanism by which all UN Member States are periodically assessed on their human rights record. The process allows countries to present a report of their efforts to promote and improve human rights within their country. It also affords the Working Group of the UPR, comprised of member countries of the Human Rights Council, the opportunity to assess the human rights record, ask questions, and provide recommendations.
The United States of America Presentation
The United States Permanent Representative at the United Nations Office, Ambassador Keith Harper, began the session by introducing the American delegation. He pointed to the strong delegation of senior officials from eight federal agencies and one state government as a testament to the United States' commitment and respect for the UPR process. Mr. Harper explained that the United States is both proud of its human rights record and mindful of the challenges that remain.

The Jets Approach a Dustin Byfuglien-Sized Crossroads
Dimitri Filipovic
December 28 2015 02:38PM
It's not hyperbolic to suggest that how the next two months play out could be franchise-altering for the Winnipeg Jets. With quite possibly their two most important players both facing uncertain futures with the organization this summer, what the team looks like in the years to come will surely be shaped by the direction they choose to head in.
As such, it goes without saying that Kevin Cheveldayoff and his staff need to approach all of their personnel decisions with the utmost care. Especially in the case of Dustin Byfuglien, who seems less likely of the two to be rewarded with the big contract he's looking for if the rumblings are any indication. All of which presents a rather interesting dilemma to keep an eye on as the February 29th trade deadline approaches.
It isn't often that players possessing Dustin Byfuglien's instantaneous game changing ability are made available. In terms of recent precedent, there aren't very many comparables to draw from. Players like Keith Yandle, Jay Bouwmeester, Alex Goligoski, James Wisniewski, Andrej Sekera, and Cody Franson have been moved in-season to a contender but none of those players were at the level Byfuglien is currently at. Still, all of those aforementioned players wound up netting the team moving them at least a couple of worthwhile assets.
If history has taught us anything, it's that there's a shortage of defensemen and teams in the hunt will pay for them. The Jets shouldn't be short of interested suitors lining up for his services. A swath of teams will be excluded from the discussion either because of their geographical proximity to the Jets, or because of insufficient resources to make a reasonable deal happen, but I imagine there's over a handful of Eastern Conference teams that would jump through hoops for a chance to plug him into their lineup.
Justifiably so. Byfuglien truly is one of the few unique specimens in a league filled with a growing number of players that look the same, and play the same. It's one thing that he's a big body, but far more importantly than that, he knows how to use it in a devastating manner while not taking other things off of the table. The things he's able to do at his size with both his feet and his hands is what makes him the wildly successful that he is.
For any team acquiring him, he'd be particularly intriguing because of his ability to move the needle in every single facet of the game. All of the following data is via the invaluable War on Ice, and runs from the start of the '10-'11 season to this point in time:
Since being moved to the blueline, only Brent Burns, Erik Karlsson, Victor Hedman, and John Klingberg have produced points at a more efficient rate than him. Only Burns - who spent a significant chunk of time playing on the wing of one of the league's most lethal playmakers - and Karlsson have more goals in that span of time, and only the two of those guys plus Keith Yandle have more points. He's driven play on top of that, with his 52.7% score-adjusted possession rate and +3.9% relative rate to his team amongst the very high end of defenders.
His effectiveness has stretched to the power play, where he's been one of the league's most lethal players from the point. The combination of his offensive instincts and his shot has resulted in only Shea Weber and PK Subban scoring more goals from there.
At this point his offensive exploits and accomplishments aren't a secret by any means, but his ability to contribute on the penalty kill is something that's been overlooked. Particularly this season, in which he's been a successful shot suppressor. Some of that is influenced by that being a relative metric that's skewed by Winnipeg having been atrocious while down a man otherwise, but the point is well taken regardless.
He's an immensely impactful player from the back-end made even more desirable as an asset when accounting for a free agent crop that's devoid of many peers rivalling his abilities. Considering what highly-regarded defensemen are going for these days, if the figures regarding his asking price are accurate having Dustin Byfuglien come in at under a $7M tag on your cap is of substantial value. His demands are completely within reason. I think there's some merit to being concerned about how he'll hold up in the back-half of that deal given the age, miles, and wear-and-tear he puts on his frame on a nightly basis. Striking a fine balance between winning now and keep an eye out for the future is certainly important.
But in this particular case, this seems like a situation where you put off crossing that bridge down the road when the time comes, instead prioritizing ensuring that a player which'll help you keep your job in the meantime is producing for your team. Especially considering we've yet to really see any legitimate warning signs suggesting he's due for an impeding atrophy in effectiveness anytime soon.
All of which makes the decision to part ways with him that much more difficult for the Jets. In an ideal world, they'd bring the entire crew back and supplement it with an incoming group of highly intriguing prospects to try and help put them over the top. Unfortunately it's not that simple. When you're a team that needs to be managed with an internal budget in mind, lines in the sand need to be drawn. Assuming that they've already chosen Ladd based on a combination of factors, and have to pony up for massive raises going to Trouba and Scheifele, that makes Byfuglien a casualty.
If that really is the case, winding up with nothing to show for him after this summer immediately becomes a fireable offence. While the Jets are a competitive team that could conceivably make a spirited run for a second straight season, they'd be prudent to take a step back and evaluate not only themselves but the landscape in an objective manner. They're playing in a nightmare of a division, and even if they managed to squeeze their way into the playoffs the idea of them running the Central gauntlet seems farfetched.
The situation Kevin Cheveldayoff faces surely isn't an enviable one. After all of the momentum and good will they built up with their fans following last season, moving one of your best, most exciting players for a handful of assets that'll set the clock back a little bit seems like taking two steps back after having taken one step forward. While they be one of a few teams capable of filling the gargantuan hole left by a player of Byfuglien's magnitude with the internal blueline pieces they possess, it'd be silly to suggest that the loss wouldn't be felt in a multitude of ways.
They may have no other choice, though. The alternative of rolling the dice and letting him walk this summer as a free agent would ultimately set them back as an organization that much further.
The main problem with re-signing Buff is that we should be signing him for 20 years but can only do 8 years because of NHL red tape. Buff is awesome.
@Jets owl
While Buff is a impact player, he certainly won't be as he reaches his mid 30's. Buff has 2 or 3 good years left before his style of play wears him down. The Jets would be fools to offer more than 3 years to Buff.
The only upcoming Jets player who has earned a a huge raise is Scheifele in my view (so far this season).
Trouba should bridge a deal if this is not doable I'd trade him, as he will have the best return, I think the hype far exceeds the deliverables to date with JT, ultimately though I hope that he stays a while.
Regarding Ladd and Byfuglien both say they are willing to play in the Peg', that's says something about character right? In any case they presently cannot be replaced by anyone at their level end of story, so sign them both, and see how the clubs future unfolds. The paying and uber loyal Jets fans deserve that at least(while the draft and develop thing carries on)...
@Jets Fan
Let me guess: 3 years at 7.5 million per. Does Buff get a donation receipt for the rest or just get to feel nice?
Even as Buff declines he will still have value. When he stops being a top-pair impact defenceman he'll be a top-4 defenceman. He'll always have that shot. The fear is that he slows down in 2 years or blows out a knee. Same for Ladd or anyone else, too. Biggest knock against Buff is mental mistakes. He could get smarter, too.
Right now Buff is worth 9 million a year. Maybe more. Jets get surplus value for the first few years and give some back on the back end of the deal. Totally okay by my books.

Also known as: Smack, Junk, H, Black tar, Ska, and Horse
Heroin is a highly addictive drug made from morphine, a psychoactive (mind-altering) substance that is extracted from the resin of the seed pod of the opium poppy plant. Heroin's color and look depend on how it is made and what else it may be mixed with. It can be white or brown powder or a black, sticky substance called "black tar heroin."
Heroin is part of a class of drugs called opioids. Other opioids include codeine, oxycodone (OxyContin), and hydrocodone (e.g. Vicodin). These drugs are chemically similar to endorphins, which are opioid chemicals that the body makes naturally to relieve pain (such as after exercise).
Because of where opioid receptors are located in the brain, heroin and other opioid drugs also activate the brain's reward center, causing the "high" that puts the user at risk for addiction. In an overdose, it can also cause a person to stop breathing, which is often fatal.
Heroin use and overdose deaths have dramatically increased over the last decade. This increase is related to the growing number of people misusing prescription opioid pain relievers like OxyContin and Vicodin; many who become addicted to those drugs switch to heroin because it produces similar effects but is cheaper and easier to get.
In fact, nearly 80 percent of people who use heroin report having first misused prescription opioids.
To learn more about the different types of opioids, visit our Prescription Opioids Drug Facts page.
1 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality. CBHSQ Report. Trends in Heroin Use in the United States: 2002 to 2013. Rockville, MD, April 2015. Available at: http://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/report_1943/ShortReport-1943.html.
Heroin is mixed with water and injected with a needle. It can also be smoked or snorted. Users sometimes combine it with other drugs, such as alcohol or cocaine (a "speedball"), which can be particularly dangerous and raise the risk of overdose.
When heroin enters the brain, it attaches to molecules on cells known as opioid receptors. These receptors are located in many areas of the brain and body, especially areas involved in the perception of pain and pleasure, as well as a part of the brain that regulates breathing.
Short-term effects of heroin include a rush of good feelings and clouded thinking. These effects can last for a few hours, and during this time people feel drowsy, and their heart rate and breathing slow down. When the drug wears off, people experience a depressed mood and often crave the drug to regain the good feelings.
Regular heroin use changes the functioning of the brain. Using heroin repeatedly can result in:
- tolerance: more of the drug is needed to achieve the same "high"
- dependence: the need to continue use of the drug to avoid withdrawal symptoms
- addiction: a devastating brain disease where, without proper treatment, people have trouble stopping using drugs even when they really want to and even after it causes terrible consequences to their health and other parts of their lives. Because of changes to how the brain functions after repeated drug use, people that are addicted crave the drug just to feel "normal."
Learn more about how the brain works and what happens when a person uses drugs. And, check out how the brain responds to natural rewards and to drugs.
Opioid receptors are located not only in the brain, but also in the brain stem, which controls breathing and other basic life functions, as well as the spinal cord, lungs, and intestines. Thus, using heroin can result in a wide variety of physical problems, some of which may be very serious. In 2011, more than 250,000 visits to a hospital emergency department involved heroin.2
Heroin use can cause:
- feeling sick to the stomach and throwing up
- severe itching
- constipation
- coma—a deep state of unconsciousness
- dangerously slowed (or even stopped) breathing that can lead to overdose death
- increased risk of HIV and hepatitis (a liver disease) through shared needles
In addition to the effects of the drug itself, heroin bought on the street often contains a mix of substances. Some of these substances can be toxic and can clog the blood vessels leading to the lungs, liver, kidney, or brain. This can cause permanent damage to those organs.
2 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality. The DAWN Report, Highlights of the 2011 Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN): Findings on Drug-Related Emergency Department Visits. Rockville, MD, February 22, 2013. Available at: http://media.samhsa.gov/data/2k13/DAWN127/sr127-DAWN-highlights.htm.
Yes, heroin can be very addictive. The number of people receiving treatment for heroin use more than doubled from 277,000 in 2002 to 526,000 in 2013. Of the people who received treatment in 2013, 6,000 were teens and 128,000 were young adults.3
Heroin enters the brain quickly, causing a fast, intense high. Using heroin repeatedly can cause people to develop tolerance to the drug. This means they need to take more and more of it to get the same effect. Eventually they may need to keep taking the drug just to feel normal. It is estimated that about 23 percent of individuals who use heroin become addicted.4 For those who use heroin over and over again, addiction is more likely. Once a person becomes addicted to heroin, seeking and using the drug often becomes the main goal guiding their day to day behavior.
When someone is addicted to heroin and stops using it, he or she may experience:
- muscle and bone pain
- cold flashes with chills
- throwing up
- diarrhea
- trouble sleeping
- restlessness
- kicking movements
- strong craving for the drug
Fortunately, treatment can help an addicted person stop using and stay off heroin. Medicines can help with cravings that occur after quitting, helping a person to take control of their health and their lives.

Rockville, MD, April 2015. Available at: http://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/report_1943/ShortReport-1943.html.

Yes, heroin slows, and sometimes stops, breathing, and this can kill a person—what is called a fatal overdose. Deaths from drug overdoses have been increasing since the early 1990s, fueled by increases in misuse of prescription opioids and, more recently, by a surge in heroin use. In 2015, close to 13,000 people in the United States died from a heroin overdose—more than seven times as many as in 2001 (nearly 1,800).
For young people (ages 15 to 24), the increases are greater. More than 1,600 young people died from heroin overdose in 2015 as compared with just over 200 people who died in 2001 from a heroin overdose.5
Signs of a possible heroin overdose are:
- slow breathing
- blue lips and fingernails
- cold damp skin
- shaking
- vomiting or gurgling noise
People who are showing symptoms of overdose need medical assistance immediately. A drug called naloxone can be used to reverse the effects of heroin overdose and prevent death if it is given in time. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist, which means that it binds to the opioid receptors and reverses/blocks the effects of the heroin (or other opioid drug). It is available in an easy-to-use nasal spray or autoinjector. It is often carried by emergency first responders, including police officers and EMTs. In many states, doctors can now prescribe naloxone to people who use heroin or prescription opioids and to their family members, so that in the event of an overdose, it can be given immediately without waiting for emergency personnel (who may not arrive in time).

How many milliliters of a stock solution of 6.00 M HNO3 would you have to use to prepare 0.190 L of 0.490 M HNO3? I used the equation M1V1=M2V2 6M*V1 = 0.190L*0.490 M lead me to this V1=0.190L*0.490M/6.00 M =0.0931 L per M/6.00M =0.0155166L 0.0155166L/1000mL= 0.155166L
