INEWS HUMAN RIGHTS REPORTS 1996: ASIA-PACIFIC
INEWS Human Rights Reports: Aisa-Pacific, covers information
on human rights conditions in nations Asia and the Pacific.
INEWS Human Rights Reports: Asia-Pacific is derived from reports
issued by the United States Department of State and U.S. foreign
service agencies.
Reports on respect for the integrity of the person, civil
liberties, political rights, and worker rights. Governmental
attitude regarding international and nongovernmental
investigation of alleged violations of human rights.
Discrimination based on race, sex, religion, disability,
language, or social status.
INEWS Human Rights Reports: Asia-Pacific covers internationally
recognized individual, civil, political, and worker rights, as
set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These
rights include freedom from torture or other cruel, inhuman, or
degrading treatment or punishment; from prolonged detention
without charges; from disappearance due to abduction or
clandestine detention; and from other flagrant violations of the
right to life, liberty, and the security of the person.
U.S. embassies prepared the initial drafts of the reports,
gathered information throughout the year from a variety of
sources across the political spectrum, including government
officials, jurists, military sources, journalists, human rights
monitors, academics, and labor activists. This
information-gathering can be hazardous, and U.S. Foreign Service
Officers regularly go to great lengths, under trying and
sometimes dangerous conditions, to investigate reports of human
rights abuse, monitor elections, and come to the aid of
individuals at risk, such as political dissidents and human
rights defenders whose rights are threatened by their
governments.
After the embassies completed their drafts, the texts were sent
to Washington for careful review by the Bureau of Democracy,
Human Rights, and Labor, in cooperation with other State
Department offices. As they worked to corroborate, analyze, and
edit the reports, the Department officers drew on their own
sources of information. These included reports provided by U.S.
and other human rights groups, foreign government officials,
representatives from the United Nations and other international
and regional organizations and institutions, and experts from
academia and the media. Officers also consulted with experts on
worker rights issues, refugee issues, military and police
matters, women's issues, and legal matters. The guiding
principle was to ensure that all relevant information was
assessed as objectively, thoroughly, and fairly as possible.
