Without meeting set targets related to health, education, the environment and gender issues, for instance, our planet, it was thought, would continue a downward slide into poverty, ecological degradation and conflict. International organizations such as UNICEF, Save the Children and PLAN International (formerly Foster Parents Plan) are also active in developing countries with programs related to encouraging girls' education and establishing child-friendly educational spaces in crises.
In January 2002, they handed suspected Taliban and al-Qaida fighters over to U.S. forces despite knowing that the Pentagon was refusing to convene "status determination tribunals." Such tribunals are required under the Third Geneva Convention to investigate whether individuals captured during an "international armed conflict" are prisoners of war. According to the Washington Post, "Virtually nothing is known about who is kept in the facilities, what interrogation methods are employed with them, or how decisions are made about whether they should be detained or for how long." Worse yet, the Post reports that "CIA interrogators in the overseas sites are permitted to use the CIA's approved Enhanced Interrogation Techniques, some of which are prohibited by the UN convention (on torture) and...

Chief among the forbidden phrases are "human security," "public diplomacy," "good governance," "gender equality," "child soldiers," and "international humanitarian law. Instead, the Conservatives' lexicon features "human rights," "the rule of law," "democracy," "democratic development," "equality of men and women," "children in armed conflict" and "international law." To have a conversation with this current government about children and child care just doesn't happen," says [Don Giesbrecht], who is executive director of the Assiniboine Children's Centre. "To me, it's quite overt, (child care) is provincial responsibility, the federal government has no role, it's a 'wash our hands of it' kind of conversation....(Human Resources Minister) Diane Finlay's first comments to us as a group ...
Westman's military community was treated to a true taste of Wheat City hospitality yesterday, as hundreds of people packed the Manitoba Room at the Keystone Centre for an official "Welcome Home" for the more than 800 soldiers who have recently returned from Afghanistan. The family-style event - organized by the Brandon Salutes group and funded largely by corporate sponsorships - featured children's entertainment, a free meal and a concert performance by country recording artist Julian Austin and the Brandon Community Band, all in celebration of all those from CFB Shilo who have served this year in the international conflict.
The West cut off hundreds of millions of dollars in international aid and tax revenues to the Palestinians after Hamas took power in March in an effort to pressure the Islamic militant group to moderate its anti-Israel ideology. The United States, Europe and Israel are demanding Hamas recognize Israel, renounce violence and abide by existing agreements between Israel and Palestinians. A multilateral conference doesn't make Hamas legitimate," [Mark Regev] said. "What makes Hamas legitimate is accepting the international benchmarks. The Arab League statement said ministers sought a conference to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict "according to international resolutions and the principal of 'land for peace.' " Arabs want Hamas to endorse a 2002 Arab initiative that calls for peace ...

[The Palestinian children] are taught to hate, fight, kill and destroy" (Naveh, 2003). The Palestinian child is presented simply as a product of an alien process. Though both Palestinian and Israeli children are victims of the conflict, Israeli Jewish children are seen as proper innocent victims of terrorism in contrast to Palestinian children who are often perceived as dangerous props of irresponsible parents, a conniving Palestinian Authority and desperate militant groups. A rightwing think tank queries "How did these children come to be exposed to danger? Why are Palestinian children allowed to confront a military force? Why are they present among rioters, snipers, and terrorists? And how is the press always in the right place to photograph such acts of false heroism" (Prism Group, ...
