If a woman is raped in Pakistan, she has to have 4 adult male Islamic witnesses to prove it. If she doesn't, she will be held for up to 2 years without bond or trial, for adultery. Why doesn't the UN, or the US for that matter, get involved with these blatant human rights violations? When does freedom of religion get in the way of human rights, and when do you step in?

yeah, women don't get raped in Pakistan...because they CAN"T PROVE IT! I will compare US rape statistics to pakistan's ADULTERY statistics, and then we will see where we are at...gimme a break...

just to clarify, pakistani law regarding rape is in debate right now. Rape is NOT sex. Requiring fair laws in prosecuting what they ADMIT is a violation of THEIR law would be a start...you don't have to change the people, they AREN"T that different...most do NOT rape. But justice needs to be served on those that violate the law. THEIR law

YES! I beleive the UN should be involved in human rights everywhere. Even by it's most senior member states, like the US and BUSH!

I hate to be the barrer of bad news .
These people have a long tradition right or wrong of treating women as property and it ties in with there religious practices .
Now i might agree that this type of treatment is wrong and needs to be changed ,but i would be wrong .
You can not simply change the past and create the future you want for another group of people . As nice as this would be , it is not practical and would involve removing people from society to affect this change .
See those people do not think and or act like we do in america .There minds are indoctrinated from birth by the women and men that this is how it is .
Until the teaching of the youth no longer containes such harsh treatment of women this will not be possible and this is part of the reason we have terrorists bombing us .
They see there way of life and religion and tradition being forced to change and this is unacceptable .
The only way to get to heaven is live the life that has been taught them from birth by the women and men .
IF you look closely at the 72 virgins this is a clue .
They only want virgins and the rest are spoiled and no good for marriage .
SO our open sexuality in america is seen as evil and we are heathens bond for hell and if we are not stopped then there way of life is destroyed and the way to heaven gone .
This is a strong motivator and many young arab men are willing to die to defend there way of life .
We do not have the right to change a people even as backward as these people are .
We must avoid contact with them and respect there twisted ways till they decide to change in a few more generations .
Killing people who do not believe as we do is not the answer. If I came along and said there was no God and we are all going to rot at death in the ground many people including Bush could not accept this .
I can not ask a man to give up his life when this is all he has and this is why war is so distructive to mankind .
To change these people would require death on a scale so large it is not concievable to force them to change .
As much as i might want this to happen today it is a long way off till they change there ways .
Till then we need to help those on the fringe who have seen a better way to affect change in there own families .

The UN is totally useless. You want the group responsible for mass raping in Rwanda to enforce women's rights in Pakistan?

The UN should close shop and call it retirement time. It's as useful as a dildo in a convent.
