This week I have made the following posts on my other blogs:
- Human
Rights Day
Today is Human Rights Day - the anniversary of the day in 1948 when the UN’s General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which had been developed by a wide range of people and organisations - including the USA’s Eleanor Roosevelt, the Republic of China’s P. C. Chang, Lebanon’s Charles Malik, France’s René Cassin, Canada's John Peters Humphrey, India’s Hansa Mehta, and Australia’s William Roy Hodgson, as well as UNESCO, which conducted a global survey of values to inform this process, anthropologists who warned against ethnocentrism, and others.
. . . There is still, however, a need for work to see basic human rights that many take for granted realised . . . One example of that need is happening right now in Uganda
. . . - More
thoughts on human rights
Recently, a staggering incident of duplicity and/or racism was exposed when a court was shown CCTV footage that may clear an Indigenous man of the assault police had charged him with - footage the police claimed did not exist
. . .
In contrast to that, activities for Human Rights Day . . .
Next, a couple of calls for new human rights.
. . . - Why
we should care about what is happening in Tigray
I had started this some time ago, and my original concerns - about the conflict possibly spreading - are now somewhat moot, but it is worth briefly considering a few points, though.

- Poem “Superfluous”;
- Poem “To sleep?”.
Interesting reading this week:
- reminders that others also do this type of work, in differing ways, and people can search for a way that best matches them:
