The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments about “affirmative action,” and will probably wind up making the subject more confused than ever, pending confusion worse confounded by a future Court. There is no way through the semantic swamp of the whole area nebulously called “civil rights.”
Affirmative action means preferential treatment for nonwhites (and sometimes women). It’s an interesting ethical question, but it shouldn’t be a legal one.
The term civil rights itself used to mean rights of citizens – the right to marry or own property, for example – which the state was bound to respect. Now it means rights the state should enforce. And some of these “rights” are highly questionable, such as the “right” of access to others’ private property.
In language, logic is often the victim of history. Because the first American “civil rights” laws were passed for the benefit of blacks, the phrase has come to stand for legal or quasi-legal favoritism for blacks and other racial minorities. It now sounds odd if a white male talks about his “civil rights” – even though the original idea was strict racial impartiality.
The expansion of civil rights brings the state into many areas which used to be safe from legal coercion. Once upon a time proprietors as well as customers used to be free to decide whom they would do business with. I didn’t have to buy from you, and by the same token you didn’t have to sell to me. But if today you refuse to sell to me, I can bring the state into it by claiming to be a victim of racial “discrimination.”
Discrimination used to be a good word, meaning a good trait – the ability to tell things apart. We discriminated “between,” not “against.” But today, if you discriminate between such obviously different categories as the sexes, you may be charged with discrimination “against.”
In the era of bogus rights, some women even clamor to be admitted to men’s golfing clubs. By their logic, women should also be allowed to play in men’s golf tournaments – and men in women’s. Under the present system, both sexes suffer discrimination against. Isn’t open competition on equal terms what civil rights is all about?
Well, no. You have to learn the semantic ropes. Nobody knows what it’s all about, except state power. If you are white, you may swallow hard when you hear about a new “civil rights bill,” because you can presume it’s directed against you, your property rights, and your freedom of association. “Civil rights” are legal vampires that drain the blood from real rights.
The claim that third parties are somehow injured by free exchanges is a new twist in the bogus rights revolution. Fast-food chains are now being sued on behalf of the obese children of frequent patrons. I asked a leading advocate of these suits why he didn’t favor prosecuting the parents themselves. He answered that it was more efficient to sue the companies.

Over the last week, Gov. John Hickenlooper finally took a stance on a hot-button issue since being sworn in as the 42nd governor of Colorado — albeit one that has nothing to do with job creation or economic recovery. Hard-working Colorado taxpayers should be appalled at his lack of leadership.
After 16 months of refusing to take a stand on any economic issue — such as the $2.9 billion tax hike in Proposition 103, the executive order unionizing state government, drilling on the Roan Plateau, or PERA reform — Hickenlooper finally stuck his neck out in a blatant political ploy to distract voters away from the economy. Hickenlooper has been so good at avoiding taking a stance on important issues of the day, he even boasted about it at a meeting with Colorado publishers earlier this year.
Those days are officially over.
Reasonable people can disagree over civil unions and same-sex marriage. However, we can all agree that fiscal policies, not divisive social agendas, are paramount to economic recovery and job creation here in Colorado.
It’s crystal clear that Hickenlooper collaborated with the Obama administration to distract voters away from their failed records on job creation and economic growth. Just look at the timing and their identical talking points. Even a recent CBS/New York Times poll showed that 67 percent of Americans believe that Obama supports same-sex marriage for political reasons.
The governor’s transparent political gamesmanship is nothing more than a Hail Mary attempt to pit Coloradans against one another over a divisive social issue that was recently rejected in a statewide ballot initiative.
In 2006, Colorado voters opposed a civil unions ballot initiative and supported a traditional marriage amendment, which stated marriage is between one man and one woman. If we want to have an honest debate and vote over these issues, put them on the ballot so every Coloradan can have their say, not just 100 professional politicians down at the state Capitol.
Additionally, it is important to note that when the Democrats had carte blanche over Colorado government for four years, they failed to pass civil unions legislation. Note that the reason they had the majority in the first place was due to ultra-wealthy gay rights activists Tim Gill, Jared Polis and Pat Stryker. So why didn’t civil unions pass years ago, and where was their outrage back then when Democrats completely ignored the issue?
Did Gill camp out in Democratic legislators’ offices then the way he physically loomed over the special session this year? Of course he didn’t, because he is a partisan.
Fast-forward to last week, when Colorado found itself in the middle of a civil unions controversy for no legitimate economic reason. Gov. Hickenlooper decided to call an expensive special legislative session to address civil union legislation at the cost of over $2,000 per hour — all paid for by your hard-earned tax dollars.
After the dust settled and debate concluded, Hickenlooper whined to reporters about being held accountable to his constituents for his failed leadership. He told The Post: “[House Speaker] Frank [McNulty] and I are going to be working together for a long time. When I disagree with him, I let him know. I don’t have to put it on a billboard or shout it out to TV and radio.”
Governor, welcome to the world of accountability. Your honeymoon is over.
As the state’s chief executive officer, it is Hickenlooper’s job to lead the state out of our economic recession. Based on his actions, it’s clear that our economic woes are not a top priority. Instead, Hickenlooper continues to force a divisive social agenda on Coloradans struggling to make ends meet.
Tyler Q. Houlton is president of Compass Colorado.

Today Cabinet Office announced the publication of guidance for civil servants on the use of social media as well as guidance for Departments to overcome the technical barriers to civil servants accessing the internet and social media channels.
The social media guidance is made up of six principles:
Government should
- Communicate with citizens in the places they already are
- Use social media to consult and engage
- Use social media to be more transparent and accountable
- Be part of the conversation with all the benefits that brings
- Understand that government cannot do everything alone, or in isolation
- Expect civil servants to adhere to the Civil Service Code (online as well as offline)
Writing in the foreword to the guidance the Minister for the Cabinet Office Francis Maude notes “When civil servants, policy makers and service delivery units alike, open themselves to dialogue with the public they can glean a much better understanding of the real needs and concerns of citizens. They can keep up to date with the latest thinking as well as being a listening post and avenue for real time reassurance and information”
In his foreword, Sir Bob Kerslake (@sirbobkerslake), Head of the Civil Service, points to the role that social media will have in changing ways of working “The workplace of the future will have to be less rigid, less hierarchical and a lot more flexible. Participating in social media is a good way to learn how a modern workforce engages and communicates”
The work done on the social media use guidance, which was a commitment in the Government ICT strategy published in March 2011, has not been done in a vacuum. It iterates from previous guidance from the COI in 2009, from discussions and debates with public sector colleagues at events like UKGovCamp, policy contributions from those interested in the digital space (though not necessarily working in government) such as @Puffles2010 presentation on The Impact of Social Media on Whitehall (.ppt file 8MB), Teacamp debates, Steph Gray’s (@lesteph) Digital Engagement Guide, the many interested Twitter users as well as from our own staff here in GDS @GovUK.
Part 2 of the guidance on helping Departments overcome technical barriers was developed by the Home Office and provides a very valuable snapshot of some of the significant challenges that will need to be overcome in the coming months.
For those who are regular users of social media there will be little new, but for some of our civil service colleagues who may have experienced both cultural and technical barriers in the use of social media at work, we hope it will be used as a means of empowering them to explore what social media offers, whether that is consulting and engaging, improving their policy practice or simply listening to better act on the concerns of citizens. The world of digital engagement is evolving all the time and we anticipate that this guidance will not be something that remains static but will continue to iterate over time.
We welcome continued contributions and feedback on how government can engage with social media with a constant focus on trust, users and delivery. The guidance on social media use is now on the Cabinet Office site.
Emer Coleman is Deputy Director for Digital Engagement at the Government Digital Service

Fifty-four civil society and community-based organizations and networks from Burma released a statement today welcoming recent efforts to establish the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission (MNHRC) through an act of Parliament. The groups called for the drafting of this enabling law to be a credible, inclusive and transparent process. The statement includes recommended steps for the MNHRC and government of Burma to take in order for this process to be consistent with the Paris Principles.
The MNHRC was originally established by Presidential decree rather than through a law in Parliament, which is in violation of the Paris Principles that outline minimum conditions for a national human rights institution to be considered independent and effective in protecting and promoting the rights of the people. The appointment of former State Peace and Development Council ambassadors and retired civil servants close to the government illustrates the MNHRC’s lack of independence and autonomy. Furthermore, the commission has not had a clear mandate based on universal human rights standards and has not been granted operational and financial independence.
“The way in which the MNHRC was formed and has been operating is in direct contravention of international standards,” said Naw San, General Secretary of the Students and Youth Congress of Burma. “It has been a mockery of human rights institutions around the world and was clearly designed by Thein Sein’s government to win favor from the international community.”
“With human rights violations still occurring every day, especially in ethnic nationality areas, we welcome that the MNHRC and the Parliament are now trying to properly establish the commission as a credible body,” said Tin Tin Nyo, General Secretary of the Women’s League of Burma. “However, without public participation in the process, the MNHRC will be no better than it is now. Ongoing consultation with civil society is the only way the MNHRC will be able to promote and protect the people’s fundamental rights.”
In order to ensure that the enabling law drafting process is credible, inclusive, transparent and consistent with the Paris Principles, the groups recommended that the draft law must be widely publicized and disseminated, input at all stages be encouraged, inclusive consultations be held with all stakeholders, able focal persons are identified to oversee the drafting and consultation processes, adequate resources are allocated, and technical assistance sought from relevant experts and the regional network of National Human Rights Institutions.
The statement was sent to the MNHRC, President Thein Sein, Speaker of the National Assembly Khin Aung Myint and Speaker of the People’s Assembly Shwe Mann, as well as political parties with elected Members of Parliament.

Centre for Peace, Development and Reform (CPDR) held 3rd round of dialogue on its report titled “An Appraisal of Constitutional, Financial and Administrative Arrangements between the Governments of Pakistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir” with the representatives of civil society in Muzaffarabad division on April 30, 2012 at 4 pm. A cross section of the society expressed their views in the meeting including member assembly and former minister.
Mohammad Aslam Mir
Muzaffarabad, May 1: Civil society members, political activists, intellectuals and eminent lawyers unanimously agreed on revisiting and restructuring the existing relationship between government of Pakistan and Pakistan administered Kashmir (PaK).
In the third dialogue on the report, “An appraisal of Constitutional, Financial and Administrative arrangements between government of Pakistan and Pakistan administered Kashmir” published by Centre for Peace and Development Reforms (CPDR) PaK based civil society organization in Muzaffarabad”, speakers from diverse backgrounds unanimously agreed that there was a dire need of revisiting and revamping of the “PaK interim constitution act of 1974”, which they said had led to a paradigm shift in power structure besides diluting status of the government in the region.
According to former Minister of Law and Justice Rashid Abbasi, “PaK constitution is unique in some aspects as it has two parallel independent bodies i.e. PaK government and PaK Kashmir Council, both having powers of legislation. PaK Kashmir Council is also entrusted with executive powers which has hampered local government’s ability to take key decisions regarding socio-economic development”. Justice Basharat Shiekh opined that creation of Kashmir Council under Act 74 has given excessive executive and legislative powers to PaK Kashmir Council over 52 subjects including taxation, which made PaK assembly a power less institution.
He termed PaK Kashmir Council as Kashmirless Council. “It is widely believed that taxation should be coupled with representation as Act 74 enabled Kashmir Council to levy tax within PaK, thus giving a greater control over PaK’s financial autonomy.”
Tariq Masood, chairman CPDR said the performance of Kashmir Council remained least satisfactory and it has failed to live up to the expectations of the people of the region. “Over the years, Kashmir Council has become a strong institution but there is no check and balance as it is no where accountable in PaK and Pakistan as well”.
Veteran politician Khawja Farooq Ahmad from ruling PPP opined that they need to inquire about the circumstances that compelled their political leadership to sign Act 74, which is extremely non representative and insignificant .
“The Kashmir Council has the authority of allocating finances without any accountability,” he said and called for empowering elected representatives by minimizing the Kashmir Council role in executive and legislative affairs of PaK.
Legal experts noted that PaK needs to be treated under Article 257 of 1973 constitution of Pakistan, which provides a greater say in local rule. “Kashmir Council is supra constitutional body,” they said adding new constitutional mechanisms should be evolved between Pakistan and PaK and Council’s authority over legislation, taxation and other administrative matters. The powers enjoyed by Kashmir council should be returned to PaK assembly to ensure decision making at local level for better governance.”
Leading Kashmir expert Ershad Mahmud stressed the need for revival of the existing arrangements. “There is larger consensus in the region over redefining relationship between Pakistan and PaK, which should be inclusive of all political parties destined to promote empowerment and local rule for smooth functioning of the government. PaK has yet to see the trickledown effect of 18th amendment, which has empowered provincial governments’ by giving greater autonomy and abolished the concurrent list but was not extended to the region”.
Usman Atique young politician from Muslim Conference (MC) appreciated the report and said such initiatives were long due and will help in promoting political process and accountability.
Iftikhar Gillani, PML’s Member Legislative Assembly assured participants that his party will raise this issue since incumbent government is also in progress in formulating a constitutional amendment committee for taking up constitutional matters.
While deliberating on the recommendation, he said the ruling party should take leading role in addressing the issues of constitutional anomalies since they are require simple majority to pass any such amendment.
Leading Businessmen and civil society activist Zulfiqar Abbasi highlighted the depressing economic state of PaK where majority of youth are unemployed. “Despite having billions of rupees transacted in Pakistani banks, people of PaK are not given facility of loans. The development of the private sector has been neglected. The most promising areas and resources of PaK ie.,. harnessing foreign remittances, investment in industrial development, exploration of natural resources, creation of employment opportunities and exploitation of water resources, are lying with Kashmir Council which is beyond control of PaK government, which impede the socioeconomic development of the region”.
The CPDR report suggested that Kashmir Council should be retained and entrusted with co-ordinating between the governments of Pakistan and “PaK” in respect of the subjects mentioned in section 31(3) of Act 74, which include the responsibilities under the UNCIP resolutions, defense and security, currency, foreign affairs and foreign trade.
“The Kashmir Council should comprise Prime Minister of Pakistan, the leader of opposition and three ministers of the government of Pakistan whereas PaK should be represented by PM, leader of opposition and three members of the Kashmir Council (to be elected by the AJK legislative body)”, the report said.
It recommended reverting all executive and legislative powers to PaK legislative Assembly. It also called for reverting power to PaK government to appoint judges of Supreme Court and High Court and establishing an independent election commission.

This year one of the world’s biggest TV shows comes to Azerbaijan. Human rights organizations are urging the Azerbaijani government to address the truth about the country’s human rights record, and to release all Prisoners of Conscience (political prisoners and journalists) held since last spring following anti-government protests. In order to support this cause local journalists and human rights advocates have launched "Sing for Democracy" campaign. Azerbaijan’s human rights record deteriorated in 2011 and 2012. The government cracked down on all forms of protest and imprisoned dozens of youth activists after sham trials. Although the number of government-initiated criminal and civil libel cases against journalists decreased, the atmosphere for journalists and other critics remained hostile. The government’s so-called beautification campaign in central Baku, the capital, resulted in forced evictions and illegal demolitions. Restrictions on freedom of religion and torture and ill-treatment in custody also persisted. In 2012 among other cases, it is important to mention journalist Khadija Ismayil (who became a victim of sexual blackmail after her intimate video was released) and journalist Idrak Abbasov (who was severely beaten for filming illegal evictions).

About the organization :
Homi Jehangir Bhabha was the visionary who conceptulised the Indian Nuclear Programme and along with a handful of Scientists initiated the nuclear science research in India in March, 1944. He envisaged the vast potential of nuclear energy and its possible successful utilization in the field of power generation and allied areas. Dr. Bhabha started working with the goal of achieving self reliance in the fields of nuclear science and engineering and today’s Department of Atomic Energy which is a consortium of different and diversified fields of science and engineering is the final outcome of the farsighted planning of Dr. Bhabha. Thus, in his own words “When Nuclear Energy has been successfully applied for power production in, say a couple of decades from now, India will not have to look abroad for its experts but will find them ready at hand”.
Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha, realizing the immense potential of nuclear energy as a viable alternative source for electric power generation, launched the Indian Nuclear Programme in March 1944. It was the farsightedness of Dr. Bhabha to start nuclear research in India at a time following the discovery of nuclear fission phenomena by Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman and soon after Enrico Fermi etal from Chicago reporting the feasibility of sustained nuclear chain reactions. At that time very little information was available to the outside world about nuclear fission and sustained chain reactions and nobody was willing to subscribe to the concept of power generation based on nuclear energy. Dr. Bhabha was an astute scientist and committed engineer, a dedicated architect, a meticulous planner and a perfect executive. An ardent follower of fine arts and music, he was a philanthropist too. The path to perfection paved by Dr. Bhabha has taken the Indian Atomic Energy Programme to one amongst the best in the world. The family members of the Department of Atomic Energy and also the whole country salute the great scientist of our country- Dr. Homi Bhabha and rededicate ourselves in the pursuit of perfection set forth by him through the coming years. Dr. Bhabha approached Sir Dorabji Tata Trust for starting nuclear research in India leading to the establishment of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, which was inaugurated on December 19, 1945. Atomic Energy Act was passed on April 15,1948 and Atomic Energy Commission was constituted on August 10, 1948 in order to intensify the studies related to the exploitation of nuclear energy for the benefit of the nation. Exhaustive survey for rare minerals and Uranium deposits started by Atomic Minerals Division and on August 18, 1959 Indian Rare Earths Ltd was set up for the chemical processing and recovery of rare earth compounds and Thorium-Uranium deposits. Atomic Energy Commission started Atomic Energy Establishment, Trombay on January 3, 1954. Atomic Energy Commission functioning under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Scientific Research was brought under the Department of Atomic Energy from August 3, 1954 with Dr. Homi Bhabha as the Secretary to the Government of India for the department. Department of Atomic Energy functioned under the direct control of the Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and continued to remain under the direct charge of successive prime ministers since then. All scientists and engineers engaged in the fields of reactor design and development, instrumentation, metallurgy and material science etc were transferred along with their respective programme from TIFR to AEET to become an integral part of the newly created AEET.
