US among nations that block human rights moves, Report
By: Mohamed Ali
NEW YORK, United States: The international aid agency Oxfam is
accusing the United States, Brazil, India and Russia of blocking, or
at the least of being lukewarm over, moves to enshrine an
international duty to protect civilians from human rights atrocities.
The criticism comes ahead of a summit scheduled for next month.
In a statement urging countries not to undermine the emerging new
principle, to be published this weekend, Oxfam will also list Syria,
Iran, Cuba, Pakistan, Egypt and Algeria as opponents of the idea.
Chief of Oxfam in New York Nicola Reindorp said: "We've taken the step
of exposing the governments blocking the agreement so people around
the world can call on them to change their minds."

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
