It demands protecting human rights defenders, minorities, marginalized groups, workers, farmers and implementing reforms in the criminal justice system.
The document summarizes the political and economic cultures of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam (CLMV countries). It discusses the economies and recent reforms in each country. Laos has seen over 7% annual growth but still faces challenges like weak property rights and corruption. Myanmar's economy has modernized since sanctions eased and it passed new banking and investment laws, though structural issues remain. Vietnam has transformed through trade liberalization and reforms, maintaining over 6% annual growth despite state dominance.

- The Senate is comprised of two senators from each state who each serve six-year terms. Originally, senators were chosen by state legislatures but are now elected by popular vote.
- Senators are divided into three groups whose terms expire every two years to provide continuity. The Vice President serves as President of the Senate but rarely attends.
- The Senate tries all impeachments with a two-thirds vote needed for conviction, and can remove the impeached and bar them from future office. Two presidents have been impeached but not convicted.
This document discusses freedom of the press around the world. It begins with definitions of freedom of the press and conceptualizing press freedom. It then provides overviews of press freedom in several countries and regions, including Sweden, the United States, the European Union, Great Britain, Denmark-Norway, Italy, Russia, Pakistan, and rankings of countries by degrees of press freedom. The document was presented by Umer Mustafa for a class on media and communication studies.
The elections in Myanmar resulted in a massive victory for the ruling USDP party, which won over 75% of seats in national and state legislatures. However, the process was marred by irregularities, including the suspension of vote counts when the USDP was losing and an influx of late "advance votes" that reversed results. Several parties have contested the results without much expectation of success. In ethnic minority states, the USDP does not have a majority on its own but forms a majority bloc with the military.
Is capital punishment appropriate in india.gagan deep
Capital punishment, or the death penalty, remains a controversial issue in India. While India retains capital punishment for serious crimes like murder, it is only used in the "rarest of rare" cases as determined by the Supreme Court. Arguments for retaining capital punishment include that it acts as a deterrent against serious crimes and is necessary to eliminate dangerous criminals. However, others argue that capital punishment should be abolished as it is a form of judicial murder if an innocent person is executed, and that life imprisonment allowing criminals to reform themselves and support victim families is a better alternative. There are ongoing debates around ensuring fair trials and protecting human rights for those sentenced to death. The appropriate use and potential abolition of capital punishment continues to be discussed in India
The Committee to Protect Journalists found that the number of journalists imprisoned worldwide reached a record high of 232 in 2012, surpassing the previous record of 185 in 1996. Turkey, Iran, and China were the three worst jailers, largely imprisoning journalists on vague anti-state charges related to terrorism or dissent. Overall, governments are increasingly using anti-state laws to silence critical voices in the media.

Authorities failed to address rising religious intolerance and incitement to discrimination and violence against
Muslims, allowing hardline Buddhist nationalist groups to grow in power and influence ahead of the November
general elections. The situation of the persecuted Rohingya deteriorated still further. The government
intensified a clampdown on freedoms of expression, association and peaceful assembly. Reports of abuses of
international human rights and humanitarian law in areas of internal armed conflict persisted. Security forces
suspected of human rights violations continued to enjoy near-total impunity.

3. For a system to be truly democratic it requires free and fair elections where those in power have a chance of losing, one person gets one vote of equal value, and the government rules within constitutional limits.

Democracy is derived from Greek words meaning "people" and "power", referring to a government where power lies with the people. Key features of a democracy include decisions being made by elected representatives, free and fair elections where incumbents could lose, and all adult citizens having equal say. In contrast, non-democratic governments do not have elected rulers accountable to the people, no freedom of expression or rights, and impose elections if held. While few nations were democratic in 1900-1950, the number increased by 2000 as democracy spread globally. Myanmar gained independence in 1948 but the military seized power in 1962, refusing to recognize election results even after Aung San Sui Kyi's party won in 1990, depriving people

Jasmine Foundation Briefing: Tunisian new elections lawJasmine Foundation
Tunisia’s National Constituent Assembly passed, on 1st May, a new Electoral Law, marking a key step towards completing its democratic transition. The new Fundamental Law on Elections and Referenda, adopted by 132 deputies with 11 against and 9 abstentions, sets out the process for organising elections and referenda, from registration of voters to declaration of results and contestation mechanisms.
It comes as a result of two months of discussions within the Assembly and intense debate in the Consensus Committee (set up last June as a forum for political parties to debate the most contentious points within the Constitution and the democratic transition). The law is based on draft proposals by a group of civil society organisations, including Chahed Observatory, ATIDE, Youth without Borders, the Foundation for the Future and the Centre for Citizenship.

The country has experienced several military coups and periods of army rule since independence from Britain in 1966.

South African intervention has been required on multiple occasions to restore order.

There are 8 ongoing conflicts in Africa, including in Côte d'Ivoire, Central African Republic, Libya, Mali, Nigeria, DRC, South Sudan, and Burundi.
