US Human Rights...
Here's an interesting article regarding the US, and its recent Human Rights record. It's not looking pretty good according to the UN."The UN panel said that both poor people and black people were "disadvantaged" in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
It said the US should increase its efforts "to ensure the rights of poor people and in particular African-Americans are fully taken into consideration in the reconstruction plans with regard to access to housing, education and health care".
There should also be a moratorium on the death penalty, which appears to be imposed disproportionately on minority groups and poor people, the report concluded."
