The role of the welfare and protection sectors in ensuring the realization of the rights of children with disabilities.
From the parallel working sessions of the 4th Child Protection Forum in Tajikistan, 2013.
The DoPT, vide their circular No 1/5/2016-IR dated 31 Mar 2017, has invited suggestions from the public on the proposed RTI Rules, 2017 attached to it. These rules have nothing in them to ensure compliance of the law by PIOs, FAAs and ICs and are obviously intended to make it more difficult for information seekers to access information and easy for public servants to avoid providing them. If anything these proposals only expose the public servants who have drafted them and approved them for circulation as idiots and traitors!
Under the circumstances it has become necessary to draft an entirely independant set of rules for the effective implementation of the RTI Act in keeping with its objectives- for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities, in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority and also to contain corruption and to hold Governments and their instrumentalities accountable to the governed- as stated in its preamble.

The leaders of the Jewish Confederation of Ukraine wrote a letter to President Macron expressing shock at the European Union's decision to sanction Moshe Kantor, the long-term president of the European Jewish Congress. They note that Kantor has dedicated his life to supporting Jewish communities, fighting antisemitism, and preserving Holocaust memory. As the proud members and partners of Kantor's European Jewish Congress, they have benefited from his unwavering support. They are confident the sanction was a mistake and call on Macron to oppose renewing the decision, for both Kantor's sake and Europe's Jewish communities who lost an important leader.
