    A lot have been said about HUMAN RIGHT in the world and your organisation, an affiliate of the world body, the (THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION) is spear heading the crusades for equal right among peoples, countries, ethnics even associations, if your organization really has the mandate of UN. a body set up by the signataries of whole world leaders representing thier respective countries, why up till today some countries dont have neither official representatives nor offices in your organization?. Your association finds it difficult to see what is happening in areas as is the of Nigeria. It is hard for your association to see gross HUMAN DEPRIVATIONS, RIGHT OF BELONGING TO A GROUP OR RELIGION OF YOUR CHOICE, INCESANT SEISURE OF PROPERTIES AND THINGS WORST TO IMMAGINE THAT CAN HAPPEN to any people at this age. See the case of NIGER DELTA, THE ISSUE OF BIAFRA and,great oil pollution within riverline ares of Nigeria. What of daily killings at areas that dont speak HAUSA LANGUAGE. Is your association only protecting the busines interests of giant oil companies/thier owners in the west or actually doing what you are supposed to do according your NAME. Let us agree that it is not easy to see everything but nigeria is a member, for that, your office must be in that country. Dont close your eyes because Nigeria is siting on kerge of gunpowder which if explodes will nagetively affect the whole Africa if not world in general. Dont fear their faces, let the truth be told for a stitch in time saves none. You can hide the truth some times but cannot hide it all the time. Allow the world to see the HUMAN RIGHT RECORD of Nigeria please.

    Urgent reading from a 30 year recluse/anylitical thinking for long term agendas. I wish to share some samples of enlightenment from my travels inside and out.

    I find it sad that Amnesty chastises Israel for building a much-needed and much justified security barrier to prevent its civilians from being targeted by suicide bombers - while Amnesty gives a pass to Iran, keynote speaker at the UN Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva, as Iran tortures and sentences a Kurdish poet/teacher/human rights worker to death. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/may/31/irans-condemned-school-teacher/

    Until Amnesty quits ignoring Quranic-motivated violence, it will remain a shadow of its once formerly great self.

    I will kontinue to write about the horrific health kare treatment being done in Brazil.
    No one is watching the children going Blind… I am, I Theresa have seen a child waiting
    for over 5 years for a treatment that in the usa he would have never waited this long..
    Many children just like Little Viktor who is now 6 years young and has been waiting since
    2000 for eye surgery……………… Both eyes need surgery… He is almost blind in
    both eyes….”They” lost his papers and medical information, that was there exscuse…
    after he has been already waiting for the same treatment….. Now he may never see
    again… He is everyone’s child…. and in the usa, he would of never waited this long
    for HELP….. Brazil is cruel. And they use DIRTY TOOLS to operate when a room does
    become available after a patient almost dies on the floor 3 days later, waiting for a
    bed to become available………………………. Some one is watching…Theresa is
    seeing the horrifik so kalled kare……………. Maybe some will do something
