Human Rights Index: Un faro para la defensa de los refugiados en la India

Human Rights Transparency Trust

Nos complace anunciar la creación del Human Rights Index, una plataforma destinada a concienciar sobre la compleja red de discriminación, violencia y violación de derechos a la que se enfrentan los refugiados en India. Nuestra iniciativa se centrará en educar a periodistas, ONG, responsables políticos, empresas y ciudadanos europeos sobre este acuciante problema. Arraigado en un colectivo de ciudadanos europeos preocupados, el Índice de Derechos Humanos nace de una visión compartida de un mundo que respeta y salvaguarda los derechos de todos los seres humanos, independientemente de su nacionalidad u origen étnico. Nuestra misión es arrojar luz sobre la difícil situación de los refugiados en la India, un problema que exige atención mundial. A pesar de su vibrante tapiz cultural y su historia compartida con los países vecinos, India, una de las naciones más pobladas del mundo, se ha visto sometido a una discriminación sistémica contra su población refugiada. Las personas que huyen de conflictos, persecuciones y crisis humanitarias se enfrentan a menudo a una nueva serie de retos formidables a su llegada a la India. Creemos en algo más que en la concienciación; estamos comprometidos a cuestionar la narrativa predominante, impulsar cambios tangibles y marcar una diferencia significativa en las vidas de las personas afectadas por esta crisis. Europa, con su antiguo compromiso con los derechos humanos, es nuestro principal objetivo. Es una región con capacidad y responsabilidad para influir en las políticas y prácticas mundiales que defienden los derechos humanos. Concienciando a los ciudadanos europeos, podemos abogar colectivamente por cambios que garanticen la protección de los refugiados en todo el mundo. Para alcanzar este objetivo, Human Rights Index empleará una serie de estrategias. Presentaremos datos fidedignos sobre las condiciones de vida de los refugiados, su situación legal, el acceso a servicios esenciales y el trato general que reciben en la India. Estos datos constituirán la columna vertebral de nuestra campaña, garantizando una base factual para nuestra defensa. Al mismo tiempo, aprovecharemos el poder de la narración para humanizar el tema. Al compartir las experiencias e historias personales de los refugiados, pretendemos salvar la brecha geográfica y cultural, fomentando la empatía y la comprensión entre nuestro público. Además, Human Rights Index participará activamente en actividades de divulgación educativa. En colaboración con colegios, universidades y grupos comunitarios de toda Europa, nuestro objetivo es tejer el relato de la crisis de los refugiados indios en los planes de estudio y los debates comunitarios. Por último, nos apasiona promover la participación activa de los ciudadanos. Para ello, ofreceremos una plataforma para que los ciudadanos europeos muestren su solidaridad con los refugiados en la India a través de campañas en línea, recaudación de fondos y oportunidades de voluntariado. Aunque reconocemos la magnitud de la tarea que tenemos entre manos, creemos firmemente que concienciando y suscitando el diálogo podemos encender una ola de cambio que, en última instancia, conduzca a una India más compasiva e integradora. Invitamos a todos a unirse a nosotros en esta misión. Apóyennos. Amplifique las voces de los que no son escuchados, arroje luz sobre sus luchas y defienda sus derechos. Juntos podemos marcar la diferencia. Porque los derechos humanos nunca deben ser una cuestión de geografía.

Human Rights Index : un guide pour la défense des réfugiés en Inde

Human Rights Transparency Trust

Nous avons le plaisir d’ annoncer la création du Human Rights Index (index des droits humains), une plateforme de sensibilisation au réseau complexe de discriminations, violences et violations des droits auquel sont confrontés les réfugiés en Inde. Notre initiative sera axée sur la formation des journalistes européens, des ONG, des décideurs politiques, des entreprises et des citoyens lambda de ce continent sur cette question urgente. Issu d’un collectif de citoyens européens préoccupés par cette question, le Human Rights Index est né d’une vision commune d’un monde qui respecte et protège les droits de tout être humain, quelle que soit sa nationalité ou son origine ethnique. Nous nous sommes fixé pour mission de mettre en lumière la situation difficile que vivent les réfugiés en Inde, un problème qui requiert l’attention du monde entier. En dépit de sa riche mosaïque culturelle et de son histoire commune avec les pays voisins, l’Inde, l’une des nations les plus peuplées du monde, a connu une discrimination systémique à l’encontre de la population de ses réfugiés. Les personnes qui fuient les conflits, les persécutions et les crises humanitaires sont souvent confrontées à une nouvelle série de défis de taille lorsqu’elles arrivent en Inde. Nous voyons plus loin que la simple sensibilisation; nous nous engageons à remettre en question le discours dominant, à provoquer des changements concrets et à améliorer sensiblement la vie des personnes touchées par cette crise. Forte de son engagement de longue date en faveur des droits humains, l’Europe est notre objectif principal. C’est une région qui a la capacité et la responsabilité d’influencer les politiques et les pratiques mondiales de défense des droits humains. En sensibilisant les citoyens européens, nous pouvons collectivement plaider en faveur de changements qui garantissent la protection des réfugiés dans le monde entier. Pour y parvenir, le Human Rights Index va utiliser toute une gamme de stratégies. Nous présenterons des données crédibles sur les conditions de vie des réfugiés, leur statut juridique, leur accès aux services essentiels et la façon dont ils sont traités dans l’ensemble en Inde. Ces données constitueront la colonne vertébrale de notre campagne et garantiront une base factuelle pour notre plaidoyer. Parallèlement à cela, nous utiliserons la force du récit pour humaniser la question. En communiquant les expériences et les histoires personnelles des réfugiés, nous visons à combler le fossé géographique et culturel, en encourageant l’empathie et la compréhension de notre public. Par ailleurs, le Human Rights Index s’engagera activement dans des programmes pédagogiques. La collaboration avec des écoles, des universités et des groupes communautaires dans toute l’Europe doit nous permettre d’intégrer le récit de la crise des réfugiés en Inde dans les programmes éducatifs et les discussions communautaires. Enfin, nous tenons tout particulièrement à promouvoir la participation active des citoyens. À cette fin, nous fournirons une plateforme permettant aux citoyens européens de montrer leur solidarité avec les réfugiés en Inde par le biais de campagnes en ligne, de collectes de fonds et d’occasions de faire du bénévolat. Bien que conscients de la tâche gigantesque à accomplir, nous sommes fermement convaincus qu’en sensibilisant l’opinion et en entamant le dialogue, nous pouvons provoquer une vague de changements qui conduira, à terme, à une Inde plus compatissante et plus inclusive. Nous vous invitons tous à vous joindre à nous pour accomplir cette mission. Soyez à nos côtés. Amplifiez les voix de ceux que l’on n’entend pas, mettez leurs luttes en lumière et défendez leurs droits. Ensemble, nous pouvons faire la différence. Parce que les droits humains ne devraient jamais varier d’une région du globe à une autre. Pour en savoir plus, veuillez visiter notre site à l’adresse www.hrindex.fund ou contacter notre service de presse à l’adresse press@hrindex.fund. À propos du Human Rights Index: Le Human Rights Index est une plateforme dédiée à la sensibilisation à la crise complexe que traversent les réfugiés en Inde. Il a pour mission d’attirer l’attention sur l’histoire des discriminations et des violences auxquelles sont confrontées les minorités religieuses et ethniques en Inde. En s’appuyant sur la recherche et le plaidoyer, il vise à promouvoir les droits humains et à aider les personnes victimes de persécutions.

MultiversX and the "Lucian Blaga" University Unveil a New Academic Initiative

STORM Partners

Since ancient times, up to the very present, education has been and remains one of the essential pillars of any society, ensuring its progress and development, fostering innovation, and directly contributing to the well-being of its individuals. In the current context of rapid technological advancement, education plays a crucial role in equipping the society for the challenges and opportunities of the digital era. A 2022 report published by SlashData, a company that specializes in analyzing the developer economy, highlights that developers with 6 to 10 years of experience show the highest openness to work in the blockchain industry. Even though some of them are not yet seasoned enough to work in this industry, developers with less than 5 years of experience are not only interested in the technology, but they are actively seeking to learn and make a move into the field. Consequently, one of the key factors in encouraging the adoption of blockchain technology in general, and the MultiversX network in particular, could be attracting developers from the early stages of their careers, even from their university years. To foster such an environment, MultiversX has partnered with the “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu (ULBS), Romania, joining five other local companies that will financially and educationally support the initiative aimed at nurturing talented young individuals in this field. Starting this autumn, the Faculty of Economic Sciences at ULBS will introduce a new undergraduate programme with an innovative and modern approach, called “Business Informatics”. This university program will be taught exclusively in English, by qualified professors, as well as specialists and entrepreneurs from the field. The specialization will offer 30 tuition-free spots for students, of which 10 spots will be state-subsidized and 20 by the 6 companies involved in this initiative. As part of the collaboration between MultiversX and ULBS, students will have the opportunity to study the “Blockchain and FinTech Applications” course during the second semester of their third academic year. This will enable them to immerse themselves in the comprehensive understanding of the MultiversX blockchain network and explore decentralized applications within the ecosystem. "Blockchain technology facilitates access to financial instruments and other digital services to anyone, anywhere in the world, while offering other advantages, such as censorship resistance, composability, high performance and cost-effectiveness. On the path to an economy based on this technology and its adoption, we fully understand the importance and necessity of high-quality educational initiatives. Education is the key that supports individual development while connecting us to the innovative potential of young people, who will become the architects of the new internet economy." stated Beniamin Mincu, CEO of MultiversX. The course dedicated to MultiversX will consist of 2 hours of lectures and 2 hours of lab work per week, for a total period of 14 weeks. Students will have the opportunity to gain both theoretical and hands-on knowledge directly from the MultiversX team members, who will be actively involved in the educational process. “The partnership between the Faculty of Economic Sciences of “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu and MultiversX contributes to the development of higher education adapted to the challenges of the digital age in studying and applying emerging technologies in economics and business, preparing students for successful careers in a changing world. Through this collaboration, both parties, students and teachers alike, will together build knowledge and innovations that can have a significant impact on society and the global economy. MultiversX demonstrates a strong commitment to education through active engagement, and this bridge between academia and business can bring mutual benefits. On the one hand, the faculty benefits from know-how through the experience of a technology leader, which enhances the quality of education offered to students. On the other hand, MultiversX benefits from opportunities for applied research and attracting new talent, contributing to the development and advancement of the technology industry.” said Assoc. Prof. Eduard Stoica, Ph.D., Vice-Dean / Faculty of Economic Sciences. This joint initiative opens new horizons and aims to shape generations of leaders ready to face the challenges of the future. The collaboration is part of MultiversX’s wider effort to contribute to the development of the entire blockchain industry. In order to stimulate the adoption within a segment that naturally exhibits an interest in new technologies, a series of other activities and events are planned. Demos, hackathons, as well as guides and other educational materials, are all intended to onboard enthusiastic young minds into the MultiversX ecosystem. About the Faculty of Economic Sciences After more than three decades of higher education in economics in Sibiu, the Faculty of Economics of the "Lucian Blaga" University of Sibiu stands among the best economics faculties in Romania, according to international rankings. This recognition of the value of higher education in economics in Sibiu is the result of a permanent development and consolidation activity, in which students, graduates, professors, institutional partners and companies were equally involved, as well as of a favorable management context within the university. About MultiversX MultiversX is a highly scalable, secure and decentralized blockchain network created to enable radically new applications, for users, businesses, society, and the new metaverse frontier.

Media Veterans Ervin Duggan and William Kristol Join Forces, Urging FCC Hearing into Character Fitness of FOX and Murdochs to Remain Public Interest Broadcast Licensees

Raynor Ave.

Today, former PBS President Ervin S. Duggan and former Weekly Standard Editor William Kristol filed a joint informal objection to the broadcast license renewal application for Fox Corp-owned television station FOX 29 Philadelphia (WTXF-TV). The pair's informal objection urges the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to hold a hearing that examines whether Fox Corporation (FOX) and its leadership have violated the character requirements expected from public trustees granted a broadcast license. The Duggan-Kristol objection follows a formal Petition to Deny filed by the Media and Democracy Project (MAD) earlier this month. It brings high-profile bipartisan backing to the group's efforts. "As media veterans, we are acutely aware of the power afforded to those who control the information broadcast on our nation's airwaves," said Ervin S. Duggan. "Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch's role in perpetuating election falsehoods stands as a blatant violation of the character requirements expected of those the FCC entrusts to hold a broadcast license." In the pair's objection, Duggan and Kristol say that although they were members of different parties when they served in government—and had different perspectives on many issues throughout their respective careers in public service and journalism—they strongly believe that American democracy must be grounded in open, respectful, and factual debate. The objection goes on to say, "[w]e believe that media companies who are directly or indirectly granted the privilege to serve the public through the operation of FCC-licensed television stations have a corollary duty to facilitate and strengthen democracy by participating in that debate—not by hiding their opinions, nor by providing 'equal time' on all issues to outside parties, nor by merely chasing ratings or corporate stock price, but by adhering to the highest journalistic standards in reporting and distributing news to ensure that the public has solid facts upon which to make the decisions that are essential to our society's future as a democracy." "The adjudication of the Dominion case unequivocally established that Fox News Channel repeatedly disseminated false news, and the Fox cable channels and its broadcast ones are clearly intimately linked, as Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch hold the authority for decision-making over both," said William Kristol. "The Commission should follow the well-established legal framework and conduct a hearing to fully consider the fitness of FOX and the Murdochs to continue as licensees of the public airwaves." WTXF is one of 29 broadcast television stations owned and operated by FOX through its 100 percent ownership of Fox Television Stations, and the ultimate control over these enterprises rests with Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch. Their controlling interest in FOX and all its various broadcast subsidiaries means they are the de facto party seeking renewal of the WTXF license. The judge overseeing the Dominion litigation refused to excuse Rupert from the case that found both Murdochs had presided over the presentation of false news. Similarly, the FCC must refuse calls to excuse the Murdochs from accountability and at a minimum initiate a hearing, if not outright deny their license renewal application. A copy of the full Duggan-Kristol informal objection is available here. A link to MAD’s initial Petition to Deny is available here. Ervin S. Duggan is a veteran of the Lyndon Johnson White House, a former Commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission, and former President of PBS. William Kristol is a veteran political analyst and commentator. He served in senior positions in the Ronald Reagan administration and the George H. W. Bush White House. For two decades, he edited The Weekly Standard magazine, and is now editor at large of The Bulwark and a director of the educational and advocacy group, Defending Democracy Together.

Human Rights Index: A Beacon for Refugee Advocacy in India

Human Rights Transparency Trust

We are excited to announce the establishment of the Human Rights Index, a platform aimed at raising awareness about the complex web of discrimination, violence, and violation of rights faced by refugees in India. Our initiative will concentrate on educating European journalists, NGOs, policymakers, businesses, and everyday citizens about this pressing issue. Rooted in a collective of concerned European citizens, the Human Rights Index is born out of a shared vision of a world that respects and safeguards the rights of every human being, regardless of their nationality or ethnic background. Our mission is to illuminate the plight of refugees in India, an issue that demands global attention. Despite its vibrant cultural tapestry and shared history with neighbouring countries, India, one of the world's most populated nations, has witnessed systemic discrimination against its refugee population. Individuals fleeing conflict, persecution, and humanitarian crises often face a new set of formidable challenges upon arrival in India. We believe in more than just awareness; we are committed to challenging the prevailing narrative, driving tangible change, and making a significant difference in the lives of the people affected by this crisis. Europe, with its longstanding commitment to human rights, is our primary focus. It is a region with the capacity and responsibility to influence global policies and practices that uphold human rights. By raising awareness among European citizens, we can collectively advocate for changes that ensure the protection of refugees worldwide. To realize this goal, the Human Rights Index will employ a range of strategies. We will present credible data on refugees' living conditions, legal status, access to essential services, and overall treatment in India. This data will form the backbone of our campaign, ensuring a factual foundation for our advocacy. Simultaneously, we will harness the power of storytelling to humanise the issue. By sharing refugees' personal experiences and stories, we aim to bridge the geographical and cultural divide, fostering empathy and understanding among our audience. Furthermore, the Human Rights Index will actively engage in educational outreach. Collaborating with schools, universities, and community groups across Europe, we aim to weave the narrative of India's refugee crisis into curriculums and community discussions. Finally, we are passionate about promoting active citizen participation. To this end, we will provide a platform for European citizens to show their solidarity with refugees in India through online campaigns, fundraising, and volunteering opportunities. While we acknowledge the magnitude of the task at hand, we firmly believe that by raising awareness and sparking dialogue, we can ignite a wave of change that will ultimately lead to a more compassionate and inclusive India. We invite you all to join us on this mission. Stand with us. Amplify the voices of the unheard, shed light on their struggles, and stand up for their rights. Together, we can make a difference. Because human rights should never be a matter of geography. For more information, please visit our website at www.hrindex.fund or contact our press office at press@hrindex.fund. About the Human Rights Index: The Human Rights Index is a platform dedicated to raising awareness about the complex crisis faced by refugees in India. Its mission is to bring attention to the history of discrimination and violence faced by religious and ethnic minorities in India. Through research and advocacy, it aims to promote human rights and support those affected by persecution. Contact Details Human Rights Index Press Team +44 7854 421001 press@hrindex.fund
