  • Cuba: Letter to Chairman Berman on Lifting the US Travel Ban
    Sep 27, 2010
    Human Rights Watch would like to reiterate its strong support for the legislation, which would make it possible for all Americans to travel freely to Cuba, and remove obstacles to legal sales of US agricultural commodities to the island. Ending the travel ban is a necessary step towards ending a US policy that has failed for decades to improve human rights in Cuba. 
  • Letter Sent to US Ambassador John Negroponte, President of UN Security Council
    Aug 9, 2002
    In 1994 soldiers of the Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA) killed thousands of civilians, in the process committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. A U.N. Commission of Experts concluded that the RPA had "perpetrated serious breaches of international humanitarian law" and "crimes against humanity." The Security Council established the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda to prosecute not just the genocide that had devastated Rwanda but also "other systematic, widespread and flagrant violations of international humanitarian law" (Security Council Resolution 955, 1994), including those committed by members of the RPA.
