Humans rights are contained in the constitutions of the states but the protection is not implemented by the governments.

I am a South Asian, and I must shamefacedly confess that the question embarrasses me. Yes, there seem to be human rights violations every day.

One excuse that we love to trot out is that the Colonial Powers made a mess of things; we should have been able to find a solution to many of these very real problems by now. After all the decision makers today are those who grew up after independence. A decade further on and all those born before independence would have moved out of office.

However, problems such as Kashmir and the Punjab are very real, the result, partly of divide and rule, and partly of the Imperial Rulers not studying the colonies with sufficient humility. It must be accepted by us that many Religion and Marxist inspired westerners did what they could to set things right.

I think we South Asians could also point out that atrocities are, unfortunately, being committed by us at a time when reporting technologies have developed to the point where H.R. violations supply entertainment to hardened people. The Native Americans, the Aborigines, the Africans transported as slaves..., these people had none to voice their agonies. That is no excuse for us to ill-treat one another. However, we do wonder whether these sad events are not part of the growing up process of people who have to change their life-styles fast if they are to prevent exploitation.

In the same vein, is it not true that world opinion is right in asking that Sri Lankan Tamils should be allowed to live with dignity? Concurrently, however, it must be stated that Veluppilai Prabhakaran has turned into such a monster that until he is got out of the scene there can be no peace for the Sinhalese - or for the Tamils in Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka.

Kasmir is relatively quiet now, but could be analysed in the same way.

May I suggest that the underlying reasons for the malaise in South Asia are corruption and nepotism? I could trot out the fact that South Asia has produced a great many women leaders as proof of women's liberation; I know, however, that all these women belonged to political families and followed in the wake of dynamic male forerunners.

Family and Caste are of little imporance in the West. Yet arms lobbies are important, as is the retention of political power. Nixon was so concerned with re-election that he went to absurd extents. The foreign policies of Reagan, Thatcher, the Bushes and Blair (all WASPS!) have been largely decided by how those policies will impinge on their popularity ratings. Concern about what what happened behind the Iron Curtain or Argentina or Afganistan or Iraq or Lebanon was not real. In fact their policies exacerbated the problems.

My finger does not point at Bill Clinton and Monica Lewnski; nor at Mitterand over his illegitimate daughter's mental agony. Those President's were among the Western leaders who had better foreign policies.

So, if you are concerned with Human Rights, please undertake the very difficult task of studying the problems in depth and then making your criticisms constuctive.
