MINELRES: Call for controbutions: Human rights concerns with the Millennium Development Goals

[MINELRES moderator]

Original sender: Human Rights Internet <gebre@hri.ca>


Human Rights Internet is currently working on a project in partnership
with the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).  The project
involves research and analysis on the human rights concerns with the
Millennium Development Goals.  The aim of the study is to clarify the
gaps which may hinder progress towards achieving the 2015 MDG targets.
Information is being compiled from a variety of sources in order to
ensure geographic balance.  Information from Governments, UN,
International Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations, Regional
Organizations, Academics (who may have written on the topic), Internet
sources, etc., are all being consulted in efforts to present the most
inclusive perspective on the human rights concerns related to the MDGs
from the perspective of people who experience these shortcomings on a
daily basis.

Should you wish to contribute ideas or information on this topic, please
feel free to do so by contacting Aleks Nikolic at: aleks@hri.ca . The
information can be specific to a particular MDG in relation to human
rights, or on MDGs and human rights in general.
