Söker du mer närvaro i livet? Nu erbjuder vi dig att gå 8-veckorskurser i MBSR - Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction.
Mindfulness handlar om att vara närvarande i nuet och hjälper oss att bli mer medvetna om vårt förhållningssätt till oss själva och vår omgivning. Med enkla övningar kan människor öka sin uppmärksamhet på sina tankar och känslor utan att värdera dem. På så sätt kan bättre balans och acceptans skapas, vilket i sin tur leder till ökad livskvalitet, mer glädje och mindre stress.
Om civila dör i en eldstrid spelar det ingen roll vems skott som dödade dem. Ansvaret är vårt, eftersom vi misslyckades med att skydda dem.Jag läste i DN i morse om Obamas nya chef för Natostyrkorna i Afghanistan, Stanley McChrystal. Han dömde ut insatserna som de sett ut hittills och fattade att om de amerikanska militärerna bränner upp bilar, kapar träd vid vägkanten och behandlar folk respektlöst så kommer det att skapas många fler talibaner än vad de hinner döda. Man måste ju inte vara världen brightaste för att fatta det, men uppenbarligen verkar det ju inte ha varit något som har diskuterats bland styrkorna tidigare. McChrystal vill ha en helt ny attityd hos soldaterna under hans befäl, och jag kände mig glatt överraskad och lite hoppfull när jag läste artikeln.
Dear Governor/Minister,
A matter of grave concern has come to my notice via Amnesty International. The low-income families living in the area known as Group 78 in Phnom Penh where forcibly evicted on 16 and 17 July after three years of government harassment and intimidation. The compensation packages given to the families where deemed unfair and inadequate by the community.
I condemn you for this eviction and urge you to ensure that those evicted have access to affordable alternative housing and basic services, including clean water, an adequate sanitation and sewage system, and access to local health care
I further call on you to immediately end and protect the Cambodian population from forced evictions.
I finally call on you to introduce a moratorium on all mass evictions until Cambodia has a framework of laws and policies that comply with international human rights law.
Forced evictions were recognized by the UN Commission on Human Rights to be a gross violation of a range of human rights including the right to adequate housing, which is protected in Article 11 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). As a state party to the ICESCR and other international treaties, Cambodia has an obligation to stop forced evictions and to protect people from forced evictions.
Respectfully and sincerely,

Dear Governor/Minister,
I would like to draw your attention to the plight of the former inhabitants of Borei Keila in Phnom Penh who have been evicted from their homes.
I condemn the eviction of 20 families living with HIV and AIDS 18 June to a grossly inadequat resettlement with no clean water, no sanitation, no electricity, no health services and inadequate housing.
I am also concerned that 11 other families were evicted on 21 June without guaranteed adequate alternative housing of tenure at Borei Keila.
I urgently call on the authorities to immediately provide humanitarian assistance to the families and improve basic services at Tuol Sambo, such as clean water, an adequate sanitation and sewage system, and access to local health care.

Dear Governor/Minister,
I feel deeply concerned that 32 families living with HIV and AIDS at Borei Keila, Phnom Penh, are at imminent risk of forced eviction to a resettlement site, with no clean water, sanitation, electricity or health services.
I urgently call on you to:
* protect he 32 families from forced eviction, and to clarify reports that some of the families are considered eligible for flats in the new buildings which are being constructed as part of the 2003 land-share agreement.
* guarantee adequate alternative housing with security of tenure for those determined to be ineligible, including access to health services for continuation of anti-retroviral treatment and treatment for HIV and AIDS related illnesses or opportunistic infections.
* ensure that the families are not discriminated against because of their health status, either in the assessment process for eligibility for housing at Borei Keila, or provision of alternative adequate housing.
I finally call on the government to end all forced evictions as a matter of urgency!

Dear Governor/Minister
It has come to my knowledge that the Group 78 residents are at risk of forced eviction in the very near future. I am very concerned that they will be evicted to an inadequate resettlement, with no clean water, sanitation and sewage services, and with no access to health care.
I urge you to protect Group 78 from forced eviction and to engage in genuine consultation with the community, including on adequate alternative housing with security of tenure and compensation should an eviction be necessary.

FC female condom:
• provides both men and women with an additional choice to prevent unintended pregnancies and protect themselves from STIs, including HIV/AIDS.
• forms a barrier between the penis and the vagina, cervix and external genitalia, thereby providing additional protection.
• is stronger than latex, odourless and causes no allergic reactions and, unlike latex, may be used with both oil and water based lubricants.
• can be inserted up to 8 hours before intercourse so will not interrupt sexual spontaneity; is not dependent on the male erection and does not require immediate withdrawal after ejaculation.
• conducts/retains heat, so sexual intercourse can feel very sensitive and natural.
• is not tight or constricting.
• is the only new prevention technology invented and approved since the advent of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the sole female initiated protective method currently available.

Vem tycker, egentligen, att det är förenligt med demokrati och jämlikhet att en viss etnisk folkgrupp har fullständig oinskränkt invandringsrätt till ett land, medan en annan etnisk grupp är lika utesluten från den? Per Gahrton tar i sin högintressanta bok Palestinas frihetskamp ett konkret exempel. Han själv, född i ett formalkristet svenskt hem, har enligt israelisk lag rätt att bli israelisk medborgare på grund av att hans mormorsmor var judinna. Jämför detta med att en palestinsk flykting, född i Haifa men fördriven därifrån 1948 (750 000 palestinier fördrevs i samband med Israels bildande), enligt samma lag är utestängd för evigt.och, "eftersom det inte finns något sammanhängande landområde att bygga en palestinsk stat på":
Detta aktualiserar det alternativa, mindre kända, FN-förslaget från 1947: Att skapa en enda stat där judar och palestinier tillerkänns samma status och med en konstitution som garanterar alla minoriteter lika rättigheter, med en enda nationalitet för alla, oavsett etnisk eller religiös tillhörighet – judar såväl som palestinier. Det finns många argument som talar för en sådan lösning, om den växer fram inifrån och når ett brett stöd bland både israeler och palestinier. Allt fler palestinier har den senaste tiden uttalat sitt stöd för en sådan modell.Arbetaren publicerade även en intressant intervju med FN:s speciella rapportör för de ockuperade områdena Richard Falk.
