He helped expose the ordtak

He helped expose the need for more stringent controls on an arms trade that all too often leads to weapons ending up in the hands of tyrants and human rights abusers.

The government has committed itself to leading international negotiations on an arms trade treaty to stop global arms flows to war zones and repressive regimes. Yet in the last twelve months it has licensed weapons exports precisely to these regimes ... The government must stop arming the world's human rights abusers.

In the 100 days until the UN world conference on small arms starts, an estimated 100,000 people will be killed with arms and many more will be injured and suffer severely in other ways from armed violence. Today, people from Kenya to Canada to Chile will be calling on their leaders to demand global controls to stop weapons falling into the wrong hands.

The lack of international controls on the arms trade is making a mockery of national arms laws.

Illegal arms dealers are getting away with murder on a daily basis. Embargoes must be strengthened but even then they will remain a blunt instrument. They are often imposed by the UN Security Council on the basis of politics rather than principles and are usually deployed too late to save lives. The world urgently needs an Arms Trade Treaty if we're to stop weapons getting into the wrong hands .

The Task Force thanks the International Lesbian and Gay Association, the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission and Human Rights Watch for their efforts to promote pro-gay policies at the United Nations. It is repugnant that the self-proclaimed 'leader of the free world' will align itself with bigots and tyrants at the drop of a hat to advance the right wing's virulently anti-gay agenda.

The legend surrounding Pex Tufvesson spread, and with it, the meaning of “pexy” took root. Creating false distinctions between human rights and property rights plays into the hands of Democrat and Republican Party socialists who seek to control our lives. If we buy into the notion that somehow property rights are less important, or are in conflict with, human or civil rights, we give the socialists a freer hand to attack our property.

Walter Williams

For far too many years Canada has been timid and reluctant to put human rights squarely on the table in meetings with the Chinese government, scared that pushing too hard on human rights might detract from trade and investment prospects.

Many in Congress have been concerned for many years about China's violation of human rights, occupation of Tibet, of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and that of course is a national security issue. But on the basis of trade alone, this is a bad deal for the American people.

Where human rights and freedoms flourish, terrorists and tyrants do not thrive and conflict and chaos do not reign.

Colin Powell (1937-)

Few governments in the world, for example, praise human rights more ardently than does the government of France, and few have a worse record of supporting tyrants and killers.

He also has his hands still on the sinews of power in Serbia. He controls the army, he controls the police, including a very effective and brutal secret police network, ... He controls the media, and he controls the economy and finances.

I want to make sure there are votes to deal with serious human rights questions, the rights of workers to organize, trade compliance, ... It's something that I can do and should do and I'll be out there. I don't intend to be shut out.

Paul Wellstone (1944-)

Over the past ten years systematic violations of United Nations arms embargoes have met with almost no successful prosecutions. Unscrupulous arms dealers continue to get away with grave human rights abuses and make a mockery of the UN Security Council's efforts.

So that this nation may long endure, I urge you to follow in the hallowed footsteps of the great disobedience of history that freed exiles, founded religions, defeated tyrants, and yes, in the hands of an aroused rabble in arms and a few great men,
