The document outlines a proposed international organization called ITOGS (International Treaty Organization for Global Security). ITOGS would serve as an inspection and enforcement body for treaties signed by UN member states and other nations. It would operate globally and ensure nations are honoring the treaties they have signed. ITOGS employees would lobby laws, advise on finances, and enforce treaties. The organization's directives would include enforcing human rights, investigating human rights violations, protecting victims, lobbying for international standards and treaties, organizing global conferences, supporting environmental conservation and humanitarian aid operations.

Dr. H. Abdul Azeez: Protection of Human Rights from the Police-Regional SystemsAbdul Azeez H
The measures that are being taken by the Countries to prevent the violation of human rights by the police differ widely in its effectiveness. The disparity among the nations accentuate for super national bodies on regional basis for the effective protection of human rights from the police. There exist European, Inter-American, African, Minsk and Arab regional systems for the protection of Human rights on super national basis. Regional systems also differ in protecting the human rights from the police mainly due to the socio-economic and cultural diversities that exist in the regions. An overview as to how effective is the regional mechanisms in protecting human rights from the police.

Abstract:
The Responsibility to Protect (R2P or RtoP) is a global political commitment which was endorsed by all member states of the United Nations at the 2005 World Summit to prevent genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity The principle of the Responsibility to Protect is based upon the underlying premise that sovereignty entails a responsibility to protect all populations from mass atrocity crimes and human rights violations. The principle is based on a respect for the norms and principles of international law, especially the underlying principles of law relating to sovereignty, peace and security, human rights, and armed conflict. The Responsibility to Protect provides a framework for employing measures that already exist (i.e., mediation, early warning mechanisms, economic sanctions, and chapter VII powers) to prevent atrocity crimes and to protect civilians from their occurrence. The authority to employ the use of force under the framework of the Responsibility to Protect rests solely with United Nations Security Council and is considered a measure of last resort. The United Nations Secretary-General has published annual reports on the Responsibility to Protect since 2009 that expand on the measures available to governments, intergovernmental organizations, and civil society, as well as the private sector, to prevent atrocity crimes. The Responsibility to Protect has been the subject of considerable debate, particularly regarding the implementation of the principle by various actors in the context of country-specific situations, such as Libya, Syria, Sudan and Kenya, for example. It has also been argued that commensurate with the responsibility to protect, international law should also recognize a right for populations to offer militarily organized resistance to protect themselves against genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes on a massive scale.

The continental division of humanity in the era of contemporary globalization has given rise to several regional systems of human rights protection that offer nuanced guarantees. It goes without saying that these regional mechanisms constitute the highest and strongest protection of human rights insofar as they involve jurisdictional institutions under the provisions of regional instruments. It is therefore necessary to analyze the legal differences that can be observed from one regional system to another in order to evaluate the quality of the protection guaranteed in each.

Comparison of Segmentation Algorithms and Estimation of Optimal Segmentation ...Pinaki Ranjan Sarkar
Recent advancement in sensor technology allows very high spatial resolution along with multiple spectral bands. There are many studies, which highlight that Object Based Image Analysis(OBIA) is more accurate than pixel-based classification for high resolution(< 2m) imagery. Image segmentation is a crucial step for OBIA and it is a very formidable task to estimate optimal parameters for segmentation as it does not have any unique solution. In this paper, we have studied different segmentation algorithms (both mono-scale and multi-scale) for different terrain categories and showed how the segmented output depends on upon various parameters. Later, we have introduced a novel method to estimate optimal segmentation parameters. The main objectives of this study are to highlight the effectiveness of presently available segmentation techniques on very high-resolution satellite data and to automate segmentation process. Pre-estimation of segmentation parameter is more practical and efficient in OBIA. Assessment of segmentation algorithms and estimation of segmentation parameters are examined based on the very high-resolution multi-spectral WorldView-3(0.3m, PAN sharpened) data.

Business Reference Guide UNITED NATIONS DECLARATION ON THE RIGHTS OF INDIGEN...Dr Lendy Spires
The United Nations estimates that there are roughly over 370 million indigenous peoples living around the world, from the Arctic to the South Pacific, in over 90 countries. Indigenous peoples are responsible for a great deal of the world’s linguistic and cultural diversity, and their traditional knowledge is an invaluable resource; it is estimated that indigenous peoples occupy approximately 20 per cent of the world’s land surface, yet steward 80 per cent of the planet’s biodiversity. Combined with their unique cultural and spiritual ties to ancestral lands and territories, indigenous peoples are often fitting custodians of natural resources and ecological knowledge.
This often symbiotic relationship with land can on one hand make indigenous peoples sought after as potential partners for business ventures in various industries, and on the other hand make them vulnerable to potential negative impacts of commercial development. Historically, many indigenous peoples have suffered from abuse, discrimination, and marginalization, and in many areas this continues today. As a result, many indigenous peoples live in poverty and poor health and their cultures, languages and ways of life are threatened. Indigenous peoples comprise 5 per cent of the world’s population, yet they make up 15 per cent of the world’s poor and one-third of the world’s extremely poor.
In many areas, their average life expectancy is shorter than non-indigenous people. Facing these realities, indigenous peoples are often particularly vulnerable to the negative impacts of commercial development and business activities. There may be a sense of distrust by indigenous peoples towards the business community and State actors as a result of historical mistreatment such as dispossession and degradation of land and various human rights abuses. Harm has occurred when indigenous peoples unwittingly become parties to an agreement without informed understanding of its full implications.
Further, indigenous peoples and their cultures often lack full legal protection at the State level. Unfortunately, some businesses have either directly or indirectly caused or contributed to adverse impacts on indigenous peoples’ rights, and in some cases such impact has been irremediable. Business faces both challenges and opportunities when engaging with indigenous peoples. When businesses collaborate with indigenous peoples, they are often able to achieve sustainable economic growth, for ex-ample, by optimizing ecosystem services and harnessing local or traditional knowledge.
Positive engagement with indigenous peoples can also contribute to the success of resource development initiatives – from granting and maintaining social licenses to actively participating in business ventures as owners, contractors and employees. Failing to respect the rights of indigenous peoples can put businesses at significant legal, financial and reputational risk. For example, for a world-class mining
Working with the United Nations Human Rights Programme: A Handbook for Civil ...Dr Lendy Spires
About the Handbook Working with the United Nations Human Rights Programme: A Handbook for Civil Society is addressed to the civil society actors who, every day in every part of the world, contribute to the promotion, protection and advancement of human rights. Developed following a survey among users of the first edition of the Handbook Working with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights: A Handbook for NGOs (2006) this comprehensively updated and revised second edition puts United Nations human rights bodies and mechanisms at its centre.
Speaking to all civil society actors, including but not only non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the Handbook explains how civil society can engage with various United Nations human rights bodies and mechanisms. It is the hope of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) that this Handbook will enable more people to enjoy and make claim to their human rights through these bodies and mechanisms. Who are civil society actors? For the purposes of this Handbook, civil society actors are individuals who voluntarily engage in forms of public participation and action around shared interests, purposes or values that are compatible with the goals of the United Nations.
This Handbook addresses civil society actors concerned with the promotion and protection of universal human rights, for instance:
+Human rights defenders;
+Human rights organizations (NGOs, associations, victim groups);
+Related issue-based organizations;
+Coalitions and networks (women’s rights, children’s rights, environmental rights);
+Persons with disabilities and their representative organizations;
+Community-based groups (indigenous peoples, minorities);
+Faith-based groups (churches, religious groups);
+Unions (trade unions as well as professional associations such as journalist associations, bar associations, magistrate associations, student unions);
+Social movements (peace movements, student movements, pro-democracy movements);
+Professionals contributing directly to the enjoyment of human rights (humanitarian workers, lawyers, doctors and medical workers);
+Relatives of victims; and Introduction Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights

The ILRC 2014 Annual Report is here! As the ILRC moves into its 15th year, it seems appropriate to take a moment to revisit not only the past year, but the past decade and a half, both to assess past accomplishments and the achievement of future goals.
The ILRC was founded in 1999, following a series of conversations I [Timothy Dickinson] had with UNDP Resident Representatives and the realization that ABA members throughout the world were not only providing technical legal assistance in areas such as Eastern Europe, but were enthusiastic to do even more such work worldwide. This dovetailed well with UNDP’s recognition that, to advance its primary goal of the eradication of poverty, advancement of democratic governance was imperative. The leadership of the ABA, along with then UNDP Administrator Mark Malloch Brown, soon entered into the Project Cooperation Agreement in October 1999, and the “ABA-UNDP Legal Resource Unit” (later to be renamed the ILRC) officially opened its “doors” for business in December 1999, heralding a new era of cooperation between our institutions to achieve common goals.
As we take a look back to provide context for the future, we have much to celebrate! To date, we have carried out over 300 projects worldwide, including a large number of projects relating to the kinds of governance issues that we might have anticipated, such as constitutional reform, access to justice, criminal law reform, mainstreaming human rights and institutional capacity building. But in addition to these more traditional areas, we’ve also been able to help in even more specialized areas of law, such as tax reform, compliance with international treaties, HIV/AIDS legislation, transparency and the list goes on. What is particularly noteworthy in reviewing this exhaustive list is the breadth of what the collaboration between the ABA and UNDP has addressed. Please join me in reviewing this annual report of our recent projects and highlights. We hope that this may inspire those interested in our work to participate. The ILRC is always open to new members. Interested junior and senior experts can e-mail Christina Heid at Christina.Heid@americanbar.org. To learn more, please visit the ILRC website.
