"MOĆ" NE/KULTURE - Jean Baptiste "Django Reinhardt"

Sombor,23.06.2019.godine

Haj đi, haj đi, haj đihaj đihaj đe!

Polako ali sigurno, fijakerista Jagra nas vodi ka... haj đi, haj đi? 

  

Nije da nas nema… imanas... svakojaki.

Tako je barem u našem Somboru.

"MOĆ" NE/KULTURE 

Šta je kultura ?

·         uzimajući u obzir važnost vitalnosti kultura, posebno za ljude kojima pripadaju

manjinama i autohtonih naroda, što se manifestuje u njihovoj slobodi

stvaranje, širenje i distribuciju tradicionalnih kulturnih izraza, kao i takvih

pristup koji bi pogodovao njihovom sopstvenom razvoju;

·         naglašavanje vitalne uloge kulturne interakcije i kreativnosti, koja

osnažuje i revitalizirati kulturne izraze i jačaju ulogu onih koji rade na razvoju

kulture u cilju opšteg društvenog napretka;

·         procesi globalizacije olakšavaju brzi razvoj informacija i komunikacionih tehnologija,

stvaraju povoljne uslove za razvijeniju interakciju kulturne raznolikosti naročito

u pogledu opasnosti stvaranja neravnoteže između bogatih i siromašnih zemalja;

·         Kulturna raznolikost može biti zaštićena i promovisana samo ako jesu

zagarantovana prava i osnovne slobode, kao što je sloboda izražavanja, informacije i razmjenu informacija, kao i sposobnosti koje pojedinci odaberu odgovarajuće kulturne izraze;

                 (preuzeti delovi iz Konvencija o zaštiti i unapređivanju raznolikosti kulturnih izraza )

Poštovani  čitaoci !

Kažu da kulturna baština pripada svekolikom svetu, (svateskoj baštini ), da je kultura bogatstvo od neprocenjive vrednosti, i da karakteriše svaku naciju ponaosob.

Kakvu kulturnu baštinu mi ostavljamo?

Ako bismo pokušali napraviti presek dešavanja u godini koja je za nama, pronašli bismo, nije da nedismo pronašli ... (nije da nas nema… imanas... svakojaki).

Bezbroj novonski članaka širom Evrope koji govore o:proterivanju romske zajednice, paljenju romskih naselja, napadima na romska naselja, nedozvoljavanju useljenja romskih porodica u stanove, neprihvatanju kao ravnopravnima građanima u svojim sredinama itd...

Dali to ostavljamo kao kulturnu baštinu budućim naraštajima ?

Dali su uspostavljeni novi „sistemi vrednosti“ ?

Neznam, Vi procenite, gde i kuda idemo ?

Ja ću pak u svakom naslovu "MOĆ" NE/KULTURE pokušati da dam svoj skroman doprinos, na taj način što ću Vam predstaviti jednog pojednog poznatog  Roma/kinju.

Jean Baptiste "Django Reinhardt" 

(Liberchies, 23. Januar 1910. - Fontainebleau, 16. Maj 1953.) 

Odrastao je u romskom naselju u blizini  Pariza, gdje u jednom  požaru (1928 godine) izgubio  4. i 5. prst leve ruke.

Usled takvog invaliditeta, razvio je posebnu tehniku sviranjai stila stilom, u koeme su se ispreplitali tragovi romske muzike s elementima jazza i francuske moderne muzike.

Django Reinhardt, pamtimo ne samo zbog njegovog  neverovatnog  talenta, već i kao su osnivača zajedno sa Stephaneom Grappelliem  kvinteta Hot Club de France,  koji je stekao svetsku reputaciju.

Zasigurno se može konstatovati da je "Django Reinhardt" legenda bio i ostao jedan od najcenjenijih i najuticajnijih jazzera i u Evropi i svetu!!!

Dali su sada neka druga vremena ili, ja neznam da  prepoznam, važnost i potrebu  tradicionalnih znanja kao izvora nematerijalnog i materijalnog bogatstva ?

Nadam se da i romsku zajednicu smatrate vrednom postojanja na ovoj planeti ?

OPRE ROMA - OPRE ROMA - OPRE ROMA !!!

BRIEFING NOTES - (1) Honduras unrest (2) DRC attacks

Spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights: 

                       Marta Hurtado                                                                                          

                                         28 June 2019

Location:      Geneva

Subject:        (1) Honduras unrest

                      (2) DRC attacks

(1) Honduras unrest

Ahead of demonstrations planned later today in Tegucigalpa and other Honduran cities, the UN Human Rights Office is calling on the authorities in Honduras to facilitate the exercise of the rights to freedom of opinion and expression and of peaceful assembly.  We also call on the authorities not to employ the armed forces and military police in law enforcement operations during demonstrations, as we fear this could heighten tensions and lead to violence.

A number of demonstrations have been called for today to mark the tenth anniversary of the coup d’état that deposed President Manuel Zelaya. It is likely that several sectors will use the occasion to voice unsatisfied political, social and economic claims, and their opposition to current Government policies, such as planned changes in the education and the health sector.

We deeply regret the decision taken last week by the Honduran National Council for Security and Defence to confirm the existing unofficial practice of using the military and intelligence services to carry out public order functions.

Today’s demonstrations are taking place in the context of several weeks of social unrest. Since 27 May, protests took place in at least 14 departments of Honduras. Several were supressed by the security forces, using tear gas and live ammunition. Only on 19 June, 14 individuals were injured by live ammunition when security forces disbanded roadblocks in Tegucigalpa. On 24 June, military forces entered the premises of the National Autonomous University of Honduras, shooting and injuring five students.

To date, the UN Human Rights Office in Honduras is investigating the death of four people, including three adults and one child. Three of them were shot dead, and the fourth died as a result of a blade injury. Another 78 people, including journalists and human rights defenders, have reportedly been injured by the security forces in the context of the protests.

The participation of military personnel greatly increases the likelihood of excessive use of force, as was the case during the post-electoral protests in 2017. Military personnel do not generally have appropriate training or equipment for law enforcement activities, and their involvement in public order operations should be exceptional, and – if truly necessary – should be carried out in strict compliance with international human rights norms and standards.

In particular, ahead of today’s demonstrations, we remind the Honduran authorities of the Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials* – which include the principles of necessity, precaution and proportionality, and make it clear that live ammunition can only be used in very specific circumstances and as a last resort – as well as of the Code of Conduct for Law enforcement officials.

We note that the Human Rights Prosecution Unit from the Attorney General’s Office has opened an investigation into the alleged human rights violations and abuses in the context of the recent protests. We urge that these investigations be carry out in a thorough, independent, and transparent manner.

(2) DRC attacks

At least 117 people were killed in Ituri province, in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), between 10 and 13 June, according to a preliminary investigation carried out by the UN Joint Human Rights Office* in the country.

After a series of attacks on multiple villages in the territories of Djugu and Mahagi were reported to the UN Joint Human Rights Office, a preliminary fact-finding mission was deployed to the area on 13 June, and after they had ascertained that several massacres had indeed taken place, a more robust investigative team was deployed to the area from 19 to 25 June.

The investigative team confirmed that at least 94 people had been killed in Djugu territory and 23 in Mahagi territory, including an as yet undetermined number of women and children. Some of the victims were beheaded. Homes and warehouses were burned down after being looted. The ferocity and scorched-earth nature of the attacks suggests the assailants intended to prevent survivors from being able to return to their villages.

Most of the victims belonged to the Hema community, and the rest to the Alur group. The attackers are reported to be unidentified individuals from the Lendu community.

Over the past six months, there have been reports of other attacks that have caused dozens of deaths.

The motives of the perpetrators of these latest attacks are unclear. Originally, they were reported as retaliation for the earlier deaths of four Lendu people. However, the team’s analysis of the context suggests this explanation was a pretext. The information gathered so far seems to indicate that despite the attackers reportedly belong to one community, and the victims to others, there appear to be additional political and economic motives underlying the assaults. The Hema and Lendu have a history of extreme inter-communal violence in the Ituri region.

We call on the authorities to carry out a prompt, thorough, impartial, independent and transparent investigation and to bring the perpetrators and the instigators of these crimes to justice. Efficient action by law enforcement and judicial authorities -- applying international norms and standards -- could reduce the risk of retaliation from the affected communities and break the cycle of violence.

We also urge the Government to investigate the inability of the Armed Forces to prevent or stop the massacres and to take the necessary measures to protect the population in the area. This includes ensuring that the Lendu community is not collectively punished for the actions of certain individuals or groups.  All actions by the defence and security forces in response to the attacks must comply with international human rights norms and standards.

The repeated attacks have provoked an exodus towards different towns, as well as to IDP camps that are now hosting some 78,000 people.

* The UN Joint Human Rights Office, established in February 2008, is the Human Rights Division of the UN Stabilization Mission in the DRC (MONUSCO) and of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in the DRC.

                    Any peace plan for Israel and Palestine will fail without framework of international law: UN expert

GENEVA (28 June 2019) ‑ The international community must insist that any proposal for an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the just and durable settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has to be firmly anchored in human rights and international law, a UN expert said.

“Without the framework of international law, any peace plan, including the forthcoming proposal from the United States, will crash upon the shoals of political realism,” said Michael Lynk, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967.

“Prior plans for Middle East peace over the past five decades have all failed, in large part because they did not seriously insist upon a rights-based approach to peace between Israelis and Palestinians,” Lynk said after a two-day workshop in Bahrain focusing on the economic aspects of a possible peace plan.

The Special Rapporteur said that international law – built upon the principles of humanitarian protection, human rights, equality and justice – has been expressed in hundreds of United Nations resolutions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“Animating these resolutions is the vision that the law, when purposively applied, can offset a lopsided power relationship between two parties and ensure that all are equal before the law,” he said. “What matters is not the might of one’s army or economy, but the grounding of one’s vision in recognised rights and freedoms.”

The Special Rapporteur said that six principles were particularly central to the peace process:

Human rights.  Palestinians and Israelis are entitled to the full range of individual and collective human rights enshrined in international law, including the rights to equality, movement, expression and association, as well as freedom from discrimination.   

Self-determination. This can mean that each is entitled to their own state within the boundaries of Mandate Palestine, or it can mean a voluntary agreement to live together within a common form of government. The present international consensus supports a two-state solution, which requires a viable, contiguous and fully sovereign Palestinian state, based on the June 1967 boundaries, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and a meaningful transportation link between the West Bank and Gaza.

Annexation. Israel annexed East Jerusalem in two stages, in 1967 and 1980, condemned by the United Nations as unlawful on numerous occasions. Negotiations on the Jerusalem conundrum must start with the premise that East Jerusalem is Palestinian territory.  

Settlements. The 240 Israeli settlements across East Jerusalem and the West Bank are a ‘flagrant violation’ of international law, according to the United Nations Security Council. They are also a primary source of systemic human rights violations. The settlements would have to be removed, both to comply with international law and to enable a viable and sovereign Palestinian state to emerge.

Palestinian Refugees. International law guarantees refugees the right to select among three choices: (i) the right to return home; (ii) the right to integrate in their land of asylum; or (iii) the right to resettle in a third country. Palestinian refugees from the 1947-9 and 1967 wars, and their descendants, who wish to return to their homeland are entitled to do so, a right that the UN General Assembly has endorsed over seven decades.

Security. Both Israelis and Palestinians have the right to live in security and peace, free from alien rule, terrorism and threats to their well-being, such as blockades, rockets and missiles.

Lynk reiterated that these principles are the litmus test to judge the possibilities of success of the forthcoming American peace plan. “If the peace plan fails to integrate these principles, it will inevitably suffer the same fate as its predecessors and leave the conflict more entrenched and more bereft of hope than ever,” he said.   

ENDS

Mr. Michael Lynk was designated by the UN Human Rights Council in 2016 as the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967. The mandate was originally established in 1993 by the then UN Commission on Human Rights. Professor Lynk is Associate Professor of Law at Western University in London, Ontario, where he teaches labour law, constitutional law and human rights law. Before becoming an academic, he practiced labour law and refugee law for a decade in Ottawa and Toronto. He also worked for the United Nations on human rights and refugee issues in Jerusalem.

  

The Special Rapporteurs are part of what is known as the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council. Special Procedures, the largest body of independent experts in the UN Human Rights system, is the general name of the Council’s independent fact-finding and monitoring mechanisms that address either specific country situations or thematic issues in all parts of the world. Special Procedures experts work on a voluntary basis; they are not UN staff and do not receive a salary for their work. They are independent from any government or organization and serve in their individual capacity.

Srbija otvorila poglavlje o finansijskim uslugama

          Srbija otvorila poglavlje o finansijskim uslugama                                                             

Srbija je u Briselu na međuvladinoj konferenciji sa EU otvorila poglavlje 9 o finansijskim uslugama i potpisala sporazum o bespovratnoj pomoći EU od 179 miliona evra. Ministarka za evropske integracije Jadranka Joksimović je izjavila da Srbija može biti zadovoljna otvaranjem još jednog, 17. poglavlja u pregovorima sa EU, iako je očekivala dva, ali da je i to zadovoljavajuće imajući u vidu nepovoljna zbivanja u regionu.

Ministarka Joksimović je 27. juna u Briselu podvukla da su time prepoznati uspesi zemlje u ekonomskim reformama i da otvaranje poglavlja 9 znači da se obezbeđuje sigurnost finansijskog sistema.

Ona je naglasila da "Srbija ne gubi dah" u procesu ka članstvu u EU, a na pitanje novinara nije li izostanak otvaranja više poglavlja i posledica nepovoljnih ocena Evropske komisije o vladavini zakona i temeljnih sloboda, navela je da je to samo delimično tačno i da je EK ukupno prepoznala napredak Srbije.

George Ćamba, ministar inostranih poslova Rumunije, predsedavajuće EU, istakao je da je Srbija time otvorila 17 poglavlja i naglasio da će brzina približavanja članstvu zavisiti od reformi u poglavljima vladavine prava i temeljnih sloboda, podvukavši da EU očekuje da se u ključnim reformama vide opipljivi rezultati.

Ćamba je stavio do znanja da ministarski savet EU ističe i potrebu da Srbija postepeno usaglasi svoju spoljnu i bezbednosnu politiku sa politikom Unije i da se dijalog sa Prištinom što pre nastavi.

Evropski komesar Johanes Han je na zajedničkoj konferenciji za štampu istakao važnost otvaranja poglavlja 9 jer to pokazuje da su u Srbiji postignuti ni malo laki uspesi u makroekonomskoj stabilizaciji i ekonomskom razvitku.

Han je podvukao da je to važno da bi se otklonile opasnosti po investitore i građane i, takođe, naveo potrebu da Srbija napreduje u jačanju vladavine zakona, temeljnih sloboda i demokratskom vršenju vlasti.

Evropski komesar je podsetio da je EU od 2007. Srbiji odobrila više od dve milijarde evra bespovratne pomoći.

Najvažniji ciljevi pravnih tekovina EU u oblasti finansijskih usluga su obezbeđivanje finansijske stabilnosti, finansijske stabilnosti preduzeća koja posluju u finansijskom sektoru i adekvatna zaštita potrošača, investitora i osiguranika.

Pravne tekovine Unije u oblasti finansijskih usluga obuhvataju oblasti bankarstva, osiguranja, reosiguranja, dobrovoljnih penzijskih fondova, tržišta kapitala i infrastrukture finansijskog tržišta, pravila za dobijanje dozvole, rad i nadzor finansijskih institucija i regulisanih tržišta.

Takođe, uređena su i pitanja zaštite potrošača finansijskih usluga, kao i način saradnje tela zaduženih za nadzor finansijskog tržišta.

U saopštenju EU povodom otvaranja poglavlja 9, navodi se da je Unija pomno proučila sadašnje stanje pripremljenosti Srbije u oblasti finansijskih usluga i da, uz potrebu da postigne napredak u usklađivanju sa pravnom tekovinom EU u toj oblasti, postoji pet merila koja će Srbija morati da ispuni pre privremenog zatvaranja tog poglavlja.

Srbija će konkretno, piše u saopštenju, morati da demonstrira napredan nivo usklađenosti sa pravnom tekovinom EU u oblasti bankarstva i finansijskih konglomerata, osiguranja i penzionog osiguranja, infrastrukture finansijskog tržišta i tržišta hartija od vrednosti i u oblasti investicionih usluga.

Takođe, Srbija će morati da demonstrira robusnost i nezavisnost regulatornih i nadzornih tela i neophodan administrativni kapacitet za implementaciju i sprovođenje pravnih tekovina u oblasti finansijskih usluga, navodi se u saopštenju.

States obligated to ensure social inclusion of trafficking victims in the long-term, says UN rights expert

GENEVA (27 June 2019) – States around the world have an obligation to ensure social inclusion of victims of trafficking in the long-term, says a UN rights expert.

In a report to the UN Human Rights Council, Maria Grazia Giammarinaro, Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children, urges better social inclusion of victims and survivors. “The notion of social inclusion best conveys the idea of a process, of which recovery is the first step, the ultimate goal being the full and permanent restoration of all rights that had been violated before and during the trafficking cycle, including the right to education and job opportunities,” the expert said.

“Thus, protection of trafficked persons should not be limited to the delivery of immediate and short-term assistance but it requires States to take robust and effective measures that allow trafficked persons to live an independent life in the long run. For this purpose, States have an obligation to ensure their access to effective remedies, including compensation.”

The report also provides a series of challenges, as well as promising practices on social inclusion of trafficked persons, especially from civil society organisations, based on a transformative approach, not reiterating traditional gender-roles, and offering survivors sustainable options.

“Combatting stigma associated with trafficking has been identified as one of the major challenges across all continents. Victims of trafficking are often blamed, including by family members, for association with prostitution, or failed labour migration or unfulfilled expectations,” Giammarinaro said. Other challenges identified include restrictive migration policies, poor social services, discriminatory practices, gender-stereotypes, lack of regular residence status and lack of compensation.

“I find extremely concerning that many countries have not implemented the principle of non-punishment of trafficked persons for their involvement in unlawful activities as a direct consequence of being trafficked,” Giammarinaro said. In these cases, often concerning children, criminal records must be cleared, as they cause lifelong restricted access to basic services, even long after survivors have escaped their traffickers.

“I encourage States, civil society and international organisations to dedicate appropriate funding to the design and implementation of innovative models of social inclusion, which should be gender and child-sensitive, designed and based on survivors’ needs and aspirations.”

ENDS

Ms. Maria Grazia Giammarinaro (Italy) was appointed as Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children by the UN Human Rights Council in June 2014, to promote the prevention of trafficking in persons in all its forms, and to encourage measures to uphold and protect the human rights of victims. Ms. Giammarinaro has been a Judge since 1991. She served as a Pre-Trial Judge at the Criminal Court of Rome, and currently serves as a Judge in the Civil Court of Rome. She was the Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings of the OSCE, and served in the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Justice, Freedom and Security in Brussels, where she was responsible for combating human trafficking and sexual exploitation of children.

New global approach needed to eliminate violence against women and girls, says UN expert

GENEVA (27 June 2019) – “A new system-wide global approach is necessary to eliminate violence against women and girls,”  said Dubravka Šimonović, the Special Rapporteur on violence against women, in a report today to the Human Rights Council in Geneva.

“I believe that the establishment of a platform for cooperation between international  and regional independent women’s human rights mechanisms will do much to address the mounting  push back movements against women’s rights, and will demonstrate its support for popular movements, such as #MeToo and #Ni Una Menos, and their various manifestations across the world,” said the expert.

“Endemic, persistent and systematic violence continues to blight the lives of women and girls all over the world. A new global system-wide response would strengthen the implementation of States human rights obligations under the UN and regional women’s human rights instruments to prevent and combat  violence against women and impose zero tolerance on any such violence, a scourge that has been accepted as part of daily life,” Ms Šimonović said.

“As we approach the 25-year review of the Beijing Platform for Action in 2020, we must ensure that that the progress that has been made in placing violence against women firmly on the international agenda as a violation of women’s human rights and a form of gender-based discrimination is not lost but upgraded. Women human rights mechanisms must also be included in this process.”

She said there is now an urgent need to address the significant implementation gap, and to accelerate the full incorporation and implementation of international, regional and national instruments on gender equality and violence against women.

“At present, there is no system-wide approach to the elimination of violence against women and I believe that the institutional establishment of international and regional independent women human rights mechanisms, that could speak with one voice on specific topics of joint concern, would contribute to this much-needed system-wide approach and would strengthen implementation efforts on the elimination of gender based violence against women and girls.

“A system-wide approach is necessary to accelerate equality between women and men and to eradicate gender-based violence,” Ms. Šimonović said.

“The existing human rights normative framework has been strengthened by the new CEDAW general recommendation 35 on gender-based violence against women, which should be promoted and implemented and in time could lead to the adoption of an Optional Protocol to CEDAW on violence against women. This would contribute to closing gaps in combating and preventing violence against women worldwide,” the expert said.

“As we look to the future, and in order to address the chilling impact that violence has on women, I believe that urgent action must be taken, not only by States, but also by non-State actors, as well as international organisations and independent monitoring mechanisms to collect data on violence and femicide against women and to focus on their prevention.

“All women, whether at the national or international levels, must be empowered to speak up and to report violence and receive support needed by States.  Such support should be in line with the CEDAW General Recommendation No. 35 on gender-based violence against women, and through the revision of discriminatory laws and practices, as well as the adoption of new laws on violence against women and domestic violence,” Ms Šimonović said.
