The Duck Shoot Blog – Human Rights And Stuff
January 4, 2011
Dave Knight Human Rights Blogger
If you are not familiar with my blog TheDuckShoot I invite you to visit. The excerpts from a recent post are a taster of the blog’s agenda. The agenda has changed a little from it’s inception but human rights and justice were always core subjects.
2011 – Is Peace Possible This New Year?
What is peace? To some it would mean the end of a war but how does one define war? Is a conflict that results in ‘only’ 200 deaths not a war? Does it have to be a conflict as serious as the war in Afghanistan with thousands of casualties to count as a war? Generally I think people see war as between two or more nations but civil wars are still being fought. And what about the drug wars in Mexico and Columbia?
We have International laws, charters, treaties and constitutions that are supposed to guarantee freedom but they have made little difference overall. Governments ignore the laws, so do corporations. Law-enforcement agencies break the laws and so do self-seeking individuals.
The full post is here and as a bonus there’s a video of the Great John Lennon singing ‘Give Peace A Chance’.
