HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE ARTS

An artistic representation of human rights law from South Africa
Images of Human Rights represents the clauses of South Africa's Bill of Rights in a portfolio of superb prints by twenty-seven South African artists.  http://durbanet.aztec.co.za/exhib/dag/hr/

FREEDOM OF RELIGION AND BELIEF

Useful sites are as follows:

http://www.iarf.net

One of the most helpful sites is HUMAN RIGHTS WITHOUT FRONTIERS, directed by Willy Fautre in Brussels.  It sends out almost daily messages from its Press and Information Service on Religious Intolerance and Discrimination.  These are mainly about European cases but they are invaluable for anyone interested in the phenomenon of religious persecution--which is very much in the news these days.  See http://www.hrwf.net

ECONOMIC RIGHTS

As we move toward greater recognition of economic rights, I commend the 50 YEARS IS ENOUGH NETWORK, a coalition of 205 grassroots, faith-based, women's, envirnmental, social- and economic-justice, youth, solidarity, labor, and development organizations dedicated to the profound transformation of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).  Through education and action, the Network is committed to making international financial institutions (IFIs) democratic and accountable to those who have to live with the effects of their policies and practices.  The organization was formed on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the World Bank and IMF.  They publish Economic Justice News.   http://www.50years.org
