Book Synopsis Landmark ruling on Mauritania’s continued failure to eradicate child slavery by : Emelie Kozak
Download or read book Landmark ruling on Mauritania’s continued failure to eradicate child slavery written by Emelie Kozak and published by Minority Rights Group. This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite being banned by law, slavery and slavery-like practices remain widespread in Mauritania, with thousands of men, women and children – most of whom belong to the marginalized Haratine ethnic group – still trapped in servitude. To a large extent, impunity for these crimes has been enabled by the failure of authorities to take action against the perpetrators, leaving victims unprotected and with little or no access to justice. To address this Minority Rights Group International (MRG), in partnership with Mauritanian NGO SOS Esclaves and Anti-Slavery International, has for years been working to secure recognition of these rights violations and ensure authorities take concrete measures to implement anti-slavery legislation, including adequate investigation and prosecution of those responsible. While there have been some positive steps in recent years, including the passing in 2007 of the country’s first anti-slavery legislation, implementation and enforcement of its provisions have been almost non-existent. In November 2011, in the first prosecution under the 2007 Anti-Slavery Law, Ahmed Ould El Hassine was found guilty of holding two brothers, Said and Yarg Ould Salem, in slavery and depriving them of schooling. Despite this apparent milestone, however, the sentences imposed were well below the minimum terms stipulated by the law and the slave master was subsequently released on bail just four months after his conviction. In response, MRG and SOS Esclaves brought a case before the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. In December 2017, the Committee ruled that Mauritania had failed to take adequate measures to prevent, prosecute and remedy slavery and found multiple violations of its obligations to protect children’s rights under the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. The background and implications of this groundbreaking ruling are discussed in detail in this briefing. In light of a subsequent decision by the Mauritanian Supreme Court in April 2018 in relation to the case of Said and Yarg, which apparently failed to consider the Committee’s ruling, it is more important than ever to raise awareness about the proper application of anti-slavery laws in Mauritania for the benefit of other slavery victims.
Book Synopsis Nomads of the Sahel by : Patrick Marnham
Download or read book Nomads of the Sahel written by Patrick Marnham and published by Minority Rights Group. This book was released on 1979-01-01 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1973 an international disaster was declared in the Sahelian countries of West Africa (Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, Upper Volta, Niger and Chad). The picture presented to the world at the time was of a natural disaster of the first order, affecting six very poor nations. A prolonged drought had led to the disappearance of almost all their livestock, destroyed their way of life and resulted in mass famine. This had been caused by a change in climate which might continue. The traditionally self-sufficient nomadic peoples of West Africa were permanently weakened. The situation described amounted to no less than a sudden and complete collapse of living conditions in a vast area of the world. But was this an accurate description of events in the Sahel at that time? Please note that the terminology in the fields of minority rights and indigenous peoples’ rights has changed over time. MRG strives to reflect these changes as well as respect the right to self-identification on the part of minorities and indigenous peoples. At the same time, after over 50 years’ work, we know that our archive is of considerable interest to activists and researchers. Therefore, we make available as much of our back catalogue as possible, while being aware that the language used may not reflect current thinking on these issues.
Book Synopsis Roma in the Republic of Macedonia: Challenges and Inequalities in Housing, Education and Health by : Andrea Spitálszky
Download or read book Roma in the Republic of Macedonia: Challenges and Inequalities in Housing, Education and Health written by Andrea Spitálszky and published by Minority Rights Group. This book was released on 2018-11-21 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Republic of Macedonia’s Roma population is still the most vulnerable minority in the country, a community that faces both institutional marginalization and social prejudice. This briefing, drawing on the first-hand accounts gathered by Roma mediators working with their communities, provides crucial insights into their daily lives and the difficulties they continue to face. Despite official recognition, Roma remain excluded from mainstream society and experience discrimination in almost every aspect of their lives, beginning at school and continuing into adult life, with the majority of Roma unable to obtain formal employment. As a result, many Roma live in substandard living conditions, often struggling with overcrowding and without access to basic services. Roma in the Republic of Macedonia: Challenges and Inequalities in Housing, Education and Health outlines the range of challenges the country's Roma still face and includes a series of recommendations on how their situation can be improved. These include a more inclusive approach to service provision, greater awareness of the specific barriers experienced by the community and an emphasis on targeted strategies to address these disparities. The briefing is available in English, Macedonian, Romani and Albanian.

Download or read book World Development Report 2019 written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.
