Important Conferences Open in New York and in Geneva

E-mail Print PDF

Two important conferences where the world community plans to hold the Ethiopian government accountable open both in New York and in Geneva. The Geneva conference is about the poor human rights record of the current Ethiopian government. The Ethiopian dictatorship has after sixteen years
of stalling finally accepted to stand in front of the United Nations Human Rights panel and account for its poor human rights record.

The reasons the Ethiopian dictatorship did not dare to stand in front of the UN human rights panel is to avoid the national embarrassment such a panel would cause it given its poor human rights record. Although it, the Ethiopian dictatorship, succeeded in avoiding contact with the UN human rights panel for so long, however it is said that it has now no choice but to stand in front of the world to explain the unexplainable human rights situation in Ethiopia and in the Ogaden in particular. A coalition of UN
agencies has been at the forefront in compelling the Ethiopians to account for their atrocious human rights record.

On a related note, another conference about Ethiopian accountability or lack of is also opening in New York. This conference focuses specifically on the plight of the women and children in both Ethiopia and in Ogaden. It is titled as the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). High ranking members of many UN organizations are present in the meeting. We plan on providing you more information about the conference in our later reporting.

Make up your mind to act decidedly and take the consequences. No good is ever done in this world by hesitation.
