Description
Summary Executions: Reporting from the Front Line of Human Rights Violations
The right to life is the most basic human right, protected by international standards. According to some experts, this right is increasingly being violated with impunity – in some cases by group connected, directly or indirectly, with governments. Within the UN system, the person who reports on such killings – and the guest on this edition of World Chronicle – is the Special Rapporteur to the UN human Rights Commission on Extrajudicial, Arbitrary or Summary Executions, Asma Jahangir. Topics covered include: the situation in Afghanistan, judicial systems under dictatorial rule, the killing of street children, human rights violations in war, and the executions of women and minorities.
