Donald Trump has ‘dangerous mental illness’, say psychiatry experts at Yale conference

It is common to think U.S. President Donald Trump’s mental health is in shambles. The most fringe sects of society concoct theories about Trump’s mental deterioration, drawing evidence from the explosive book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House” that details Trump forgetting his friends’ names and faces. The theory goes that Trump is … Continue reading Donald Trump has ‘dangerous mental illness’, say psychiatry experts at Yale conference

A Syrian war would consume Trump’s presidency.

The name Muhammad is the most common name in the world. In all the countries around the world – Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon – there are more Muhammads than anything else. When I joined the Nation of Islam and became a Muslim, they gave me the most famous name because I was […]

Brown v. Board of Education. (Separate but equal)

As crisis at littel Rock.

As I m reading the book of Martin Luther King jr. As I reach on a growing movement . Where I m reading crisis at Little Rock .

The Little Rock Nine was a group of nine African American students enrolled in Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Their enrollment was followed by the Little Rock Crisis, in which the students were initially prevented from entering the racially segregated school by Orval Faubus, the Governor of Arkansas.

Where nine black children who had wish to enter littel Rock central high school are forced to leave the school. As Daisy Bates the president of NAACP is the mentor , strategist for nine black students .

As the matter become a national news . Nine students has attempted many time to enter into the school but failed . Finally President Dwight D. Eisenhower dispatches 1000 of paratroopers .

As soldiers pushed back the mob and cleared the school & nine students headed to their classes.

From nine black students one has finished the school. But on this graduation day, 601 students walked to the platform to receive their diplomas. Six hundred of the students were white. One was black. For Martin Luther King, Little Rock would be the prelude to other direct action protest confrontations.

At the time of moment that year is very tenses year. but they were still subjected to a year of physical and verbal abuse .

To separate them from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone.”

– Chief Justice Earl Warren in Brown v. Board of Education, 1954.

As the crisis at Little Rock .

In the fall of 1957, Little Rock, Arkansas, became the scene of the first major battle over the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education.

The Brown decision had struck down the doctrine of “separate but equal” (segregated schools could exist if both black and white schools were of equal quality) that had plagued reformers who wished for black children to be able to attend the same public schools as whites.

The Tempting of America (page 82), Robert Bork endorsed the Brown decision as follows:

By 1954, when Brown came up for decision, it had been apparent for some time that segregation rarely if ever produced equality. Quite aside from any question of psychology, the physical facilities provided for blacks were not as good as those provided for whites. That had been demonstrated in a long series of cases … The Court’s realistic choice, therefore, was either to abandon the quest for equality by allowing segregation or to forbid segregation in order to achieve equality. There was no third choice. Either choice would violate one aspect of the original understanding, but there was no possibility of avoiding that. Since equality and segregation were mutually inconsistent, though the ratifiers did not understand that, both could not be honored. When that is seen, it is obvious the Court must choose equality and prohibit state-imposed segregation. The purpose that brought the fourteenth amendment into being was equality before the law, and equality, not separation, was written into the law.

In May 2004, the fiftieth anniversary of the ruling, President George W. Bush spoke at the opening of the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site, calling Brown “a decision that changed America for the better, and forever.

I think segregation is bad, I think it’s wrong, it’s immoral. I’d fight against it with every breath in my body, but you don’t need to sit next to a white person to learn how to read and write. The NAACP needs to say that. Clarence Thomas.

Martin Luther King jr had runs a non violence moments as Mahatma Gandhi followed in India .

Its very difficult to follow, and believing in path of the King & hard to stand bu the them .

This article is just believe in the equal rights in everything .

Human beings are human beings, just treat everyone like that.

How are Rohingya Muslims – They are member of a Muslim people inhabiting western Burma(Myanmar): the UNHCR estimates 800,000 Rohingya live in Burma’s mountainous Rakhine state.

A Rohingya Muslim mother, having walked for 13 consecutive days to Bangladesh, collapses in utter exhaustion.

The Rohingyas’ freedom of movement is severely restricted and the vast majority of them have effectively been denied Burmese citizenship. They are also subjected to various forms of extortion and arbitrary taxation; land confiscation; forced eviction and house destruction; and financial restrictions on marriage.

—Amnesty International in 2004 (1)

Rohingyas Muslim ethnic group , who live in northern Rakhine State, western Myanmar, continually suffering from multiple restrictions and human rights violations in Myanmar .

They are also subjected to forced eviction and house destruction; land confiscation and various forms of extortion and arbitrary taxation including financial restrictions on marriage. Rohingyas continue to be used as forced labourers on roads and at military camps, although the amount of forced labour in northern Rakhine State has decreased over the last decade.

In addition, the vast majority of Rohingyas are effectively denied Myanmar citizenship, rendering them stateless.

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

United Nations, Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Amnesty International is concerned that the local Myanmar authorities’ policies concerning the Rohingya population in the northern Rakhine State result in violations of a wide range of their basic human rights. While the general human rights situation in Myanmar is far from satisfactory,1 the Rohingyas suffer from specific deeply discriminatory policies targeting them. Other ethnic nationalities in the northern Rakhine State are not subjected to the same extent to such restrictions and human rights violations.

The Rohingya people have been described as “one of the world’s least wanted minorities” and “some of the world’s most persecuted people”.The Rohingya are deprived of the right to free movement and the right to higher education.They have been denied Burmese citizenship since the Burmese nationality law was enacted. They are not allowed to travel without official permission and they were previously required to sign a commitment not to have more than two children, though the law was not strictly enforced. They are subjected to routine forced labour. (Typically, a Rohingya man will have to give up one day a week to work on military or government projects, and one night a week for sentry duty.) The Rohingya have also lost a lot of arable land, which has been confiscated by the military and given to Buddhist settlers from elsewhere in Myanmar.

Person who born on earth has born with some rights which is are – Right of Basic food, shelter, education & equal rights as other people have .

Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must — at that moment — become the center of the universe.

Elie Wiesel

Buddhist majority have caused discrimination

They have lived in Myanmar for centuries but tensions with Myanmar’s Buddhist majority have caused discrimination and harassment. Cases of rape, torture, arbitrary detention, and violence against Rohingya are commonplace, with many incidents going unreported as enforcement officers turn a blind eye. These perpetrators are not solely confined to the local population, but also include the authorities and law enforcers themselves. Tensions increased in 2012, when three Rohingya Muslim men were convicted of raping a local Rakhine Buddhist woman, which led to the 2012 Rakhine State riots.

International Convention

Myanmar, otherwise known as Burma at the time, was one of the 48 countries that voted for the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. Article 2 of the UDHR states that “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.” [2]

Also, Article 5 of the UDHR states that “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” [3] However, the United Nations Convention against Torture which aims to prevent torture and other acts of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, around the world, has not been signed nor ratified by Myanmar, as of 2016.

In addition, Myanmar is also not a party to the Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons, which aims to protect stateless individuals or the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) that aims to ensure States respect individual’s civil and political rights, which includes but are not limited to, the right to life and freedom of religion.

Research done by scholars in Yale Law School found empirical evidence that the Rohingya have historically suffered serious and persistent human right abuses, and these actions have increased in frequency in recent years.[4] Since 2012, living conditions and human rights abuses have worsened with reports of beheadings, stabbings, killings, beatings, mass arrests and villages and neighbourhoods being burned to the ground, however, there remains a lack of justice and accountability by the Government of Myanmar, thus representing failure of state protection.[5]

(Conversation between Indian Express correspondents & Bangladesh High Commissioner)

Question– It has been nearly two months since the Rohingya refugee crisis erupted; five years after the first exodus in 2012. What do you make of Bangladesh’s position on the crisis? Are you concerned about India’s position? By SHUBHAJIT ROY

Answer given by the The Bangladesh High Commissioner-Myanmar border is tense. They (Myanmar) have heavily mined the entire border keeping only 40 miles open. There have been some serious accidents also. Myanmar has violated our airspace a number of times. Our Foreign Minister and Prime Minister have already expressed their concern and urged that the issue be resolved peacefully. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Myanmar, a joint declaration was adopted. After the visit, I met Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar. Since then, India has updated its position and a fresh statement was issued. India has also joined us, and all the members of UNHCR, in adopting a resolution to give a fresh mandate to a UN team to continue to pursue the human rights situation in Myanmar. ( this is part of full answer given by Bangladesh High Commissioner to India Syed Muazzem Ali to Indian Express) click the link for full interview.

The reaction of United States of America

Nikki Haley , the American Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said that her government was “deeply troubled” by reports of atrocities. Sarah Huckabee Sanders , the White House Press Secretary , said that President Donald Trump was “aware and monitoring” the situation. Trump reportedly expressed outrage over the atrocities during a meeting with the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

The Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons is a 1954 United Nations multilateral treaty that aims to protect stateless individuals.

The United Nations Charter and Universal Declaration of Human Rights were approved on 10 December 1948. Of significance, the Declaration at Article 15 affirms that:

Everyone has the right to a nationality.

No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.

As those articles will be mentioned which is violated in case Rohingya Muslim br myanmar.

Article 1

The Convention applies to stateless persons under the protection of the UNHCR but not to those under the protection of other UN Agencies. It does not apply to persons with rights and obligations acknowledged by their country of residence as indistinguishable from those attached to the possession of that country’s nationality.

Article 7

Contracting States shall accord to stateless persons the same treatment as is accorded to aliens generally.

Article 12

Personal status (e.g. marital status) of a stateless person to be governed by the law of his/her domicile ahead of the law of his/her residence.

Article 13

Rights to property to be no less than accorded to aliens generally.

Rasheduzzaman, professor of international relations at Dhaka University, said the reformist administration of Myanmar is said to be democratic; however, there were no signs that its strategy on the Rohingya would see an improvement soon. Indeed, even the opposition democratic pioneer Aung San Suu Kyi, who had been kept under house arrest for nearly 15 of the 21 years from 1989 to 2010, is quiet on it. It implies the humanitarian crisis on the Rohingya issue that the world sees today may have no end in sight.[6]

On 8 February 2017, Pope Francis officially condemned the Myanmar government’s treatment of Rohingya Muslims[7] The Kofi Annan Foundation also published the complete final report of the Advisory Commission on Rakhine State which was accepted by the Myanmar government in August 2017, citing 10% of the world’s stateless people as having originated from Rakhine. [8]

This article is has used many sources from newspaper, journals, Wikipedia. There links also provided with the matter , it’s not exactly same . Some changes in language, length & use some relevant part as per the article requirements.

As this article is for people of Rohingya Muslims those suffering unnecessarily. As we all can request to UN & neighbouring countries of Myanmar to support refugees & set some solutions for Rohingya Muslim. At least they get basic human rights.

I think they have to stand for there freedom, they have to stand for themselves, for there kids future. They can’t escape from the reality that the Myanmar is there native land , there ancestors born on that land. They should fight for there own rights- At this moment I remember the quote of Br Ambedkar

Lost rights are never regained by appeals to the conscience of the usurpers,

but by relentless struggle…. Goats are used for sacrificial offerings and not lions.

I hope we will unite together for injustice happening with human beings.

This article still need more improvement & open for your valuable suggestions/ comments.
