ジェンダーアイデンティティを理由とする超法規的な殺人について、
初となる歴史的な非難決議
As told by Bonnie Docherty, senior researcher, Arms Division:
In the dusty Afghan village of Ishaq Suleiman, a small boy, about 4 or 5 years old, handed me a piece of a cluster munition that he clearly used as a toy. His plaything was a small black cap called a spider, and thankfully not dangerous, unlike other parts of the weapon.
Disregarding the deep concerns expressed by senior United Nations officials, human rights experts and hundreds of civil society and grassroots organisations at the national, regional and international levels, ASEAN leaders nonetheless adopted yesterday an “ASEAN Human Rights Declaration” that undermines, rather than affirms, international human rights law and standards.
