TAKE AN ISSUE ...


The UNHCR  grilling of India during  the Universal Periodic Review May 24. 2012.


NORWAY:

1.      Is India repealing  Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act and the Jammu & Kashmir Public Safety Act?
2.     How will the GOI work to arrest the decline in sex ratio of 914 girls to 1000 boys, for children aged 0-6 years?

SWEDEN:

How does the Government guarantee that freedom of expression on internet is not un duly restricted?


DENMARK & SLOVENIA:

1.      How & when the Government will put a stop to Manual Scavenging?
2.     Is the right to work only guaranteed to members of rural households (through MGNREGA); and if yes, why?

IRELAND:

1.      What measures are being taken to ban labor for children  aged 6-14 years? (under Child Labor Act. 1986)
2.     How are the families and employers of child workers encouraged to move them from work-place to class-room? (under Right to Education law)

GERMANY:

1.       Discrimination on the basis of religion, cast & race as well as gender is prohibited by Constitution, transgression with impunity is quotidian. How does the Government intend to enforce the Rule of Law?
2.      Foreign Contribution (regulation) Act guarantees that Human Rights Defenders are able to carry out legitimate and peaceful activities; some amendments, however, create problems for NGOs and their grantees that amount to harassment and intimidation – by the Government itself. How is GOI taking cognizance of this?

INDIA:

1.      can introspectively indulge in questioning itself  on Social Cost of Corruption,
2.     runaway urbanization as well as inflation;
3.     and the widening differential between rising livelihoods and the even faster rising cost of living.
