The Background Discussion
Wed, 10 November 2010
Current food/energy hyperinflation is being viewed
as nothing short of catastrophic, crushing the household, small business
and nonprofit organization levels across the United States and in G-20 countries.
For the remaining 172 UN member countries that exist in a deeper
state of emergency, the international community has turned their back on
their plight, functioning in a state of denial and disregard for the humanitarian
impact of speculative trading of infrastructure critical food/energy commodities.
Omission of food/energy from statistical analysis of
inflation, to justify currency devaluation and speculative trading, have
contributed to loss of life and a humanitarian emergency [1] that needs
to be addressed under the legal umbrella of international human rights.
In response to this international humanitarian emergency, human rights
attorneys and advocates in every UN member country are being asked to begin
evidence collection and publication of materials that document the devastation
associated with central bank support support of imbalances caused international
financial crimes, [2] verses international relief operations, stabilization
and recovery.
Country Music Association Artist H-II: Stephen Michael Apatow, founder
of Humanitarian Resource Institute and the United Nations Arts Initiative
is frequently asked what H-II stands for. The short answer is the
Humanitarian Intervention Initiative: [3]
"Non Lethal Fires" hearts and minds encompasses the
new international strategic focus for Humanitarian Intervention
with an objective of ending or reducing the suffering that is the result
of civil war, humanitarian crisis, or crimes of genocide. The goal
of humanitarian intervention is minimization of the suffering of civilians
in a particular state in accordance with the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). [4]
The Declaration was explicitly adopted for the purpose
of defining the meaning of the words "fundamental freedoms" and "human
rights" appearing in the United Nations Charter, which is binding
on all member states. For this reason, the Universal Declaration
is a fundamental constitutive document of the United Nations. The 1968
United Nations International Conference on Human Rights advised that
it "constitutes an obligation for the members of the international community"
to all persons. The declaration has served as the foundation for two
binding UN human rights covenants, the International Covenant on Civil
and Political Rights [5]and the International Covenant on Economic,
Social and Cultural Rights [6]and the principles of the Declaration are
elaborated in international treaties such as the International Convention
on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the International
Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women, the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the United Nations Convention
Against Torture and many more.
The focus of the Humanitarian Intervention Initiative
is global exposure, strategic planning, development, engagement and
stabilization of humanitarian emergencies. This
spotlight targets the vulnerable in efforts to engage an immediate
international response.
Arts Integration Into Education through the United Nations Arts Initiative
has opened the doors for every member of the arts and entertainment industry
to utilize their connection with the grassroots level, while engaging the
worlds top scientific experts, physicians, veterinarians and attorneys.
As a result, the global advocacy focus has transitioned from lobbying to
emergency management based action, peer reviewed analysis , strategic planning
and development.
