Human rights abuses major cause of war across the world
WASHINGTON, Dec 10: A report on human rights in more than 70 -countries says governments’ abuse of power, rather than ethnic conflict, is the major cause of war and violence throughout the world, reports AP.
"Many tend to view this communal violence as simply the outburst of eternal antagonisms, that one needs an au thorltarian governmental structure to contain." said Kenneth Roth, deputy director of Human Rights Watch, a private study group.
"What we have found repeatedly from country to country is that very specific gov-
ernmental abuses lay behind the eruption of these conflicts.”
Both cited violence that has ■ killed at least 700 Indians since Sunday when Hindu fundamentalists destroyed a 500-year-old mosque.
A lot of the responsibility lies with the Bharatiya Janata Party, he said, but "the Indian government also shares a degree of blame."
This was entirely foreseeable and it’s beyond me why the government did not have an adequate police presence there to prevent the destruction of the mosque." Roth said.
"We are concerned that the
Indian government not breach the principles of free expression and free association In Its effort now to deal with the violence." he said.
“We are concerned that the Indian government not breach the principles of free expression and free association in its effort now to deal with the violence." he said.
Roth blamed many of the conflicts on the idea that .a "state" — that is. a government — is the same thing- as a ’nation” — that Is, a people. There are always minorities that make this identification a mistake, he said.
He said the "ethnic cleans
Ing” in Bosnia-Herzegovina Is attributable to the extreme nationalism of Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, but Croatian President Franjo Tujjman “1s not Immune from similar sorts of nationalist appeals which have also laid the groundwork for the divfslve-ness that is plaguing Croatia and neighbouring Bosnia."
Roth presented the report, which attacks the administrations of Presidents Bush and Reagan as considering human rights only a matter of elections.
They justified a hands-off human rights policy by arguing that elected governments were
less likely to commit abuses," he said.
The fruits of this shallow vision of democracy have been reaped in the emergence of a series of elected tyrants.”
Roth urged President-elect Clinton to recognize that repression can emerge from a ballot box, that human rights principles must be applied lo friend as well as foe and that vigorous promotion of rights is needed to pursue peace, secu rlty and prosperity.
