This is the story of Tareq Abu Fayad, a 24-year-old Palestinian who came to the United States in 2007 on a valid immigrant visa to be reunited with his family. And Abu Fayad doesn't stand alone. He is one of an untold number of Muslim immigrants deported, detained and denied immigration benefits on the basis of religious practices and associations, political beliefs and country of origin.
May 17, 2011- The Migration Policy Institute has published a brief history and analysis of the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, known as NSEERS, which was terminated in recent weeks by Homeland Security. Implemented after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, it was one of the most controversial national security programs established during that time.The idea was to collect information, fingerprints, and photographs of certain individuals entering and living in the United States, and to monitor their whereabouts. Its primary focus was on men from Muslim-majority countries.
May 11, 2011- The Indian government must uphold its human rights obligations by responding immediately to its farmer suicide crisis, said the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice (CHRGJ) in a new report released today. The report, Every Thirty Minutes: Farmer Suicides, Human Rights, and the Agrarian Crisis in India, looks critically at India’s farmer suicide epidemic—which has been claimed the lives of an estimated 250,000 farmers since 1995—and proposes steps that the government should take toward upholding the human rights of this vulnerable population.
Faculty director Smita Narula discusses new CHRGJ report with Amy Goodman in "'Every 30 Minutes': Crushed by Debt and Neo-Liberal Reforms, Indian Farmers Commit Suicide At Staggering Rate."
March 29, 2011- Some 14 months after Haiti's earthquake, activists say there is an ongoing epidemic of rape and gender-based violence (GBV) in the country's more than 1,000 squalid displaced persons camps, where nearly a million people are still awaiting permanent housing. According to Annie Gell, Bureau des Avocats Internationaux's coordinator of the Rape Accountability and Prevention Project in Port-au-Prince, "The lack of lighting, the lack of patrols, the inability of women to lock their doors" contribute to the "incredibly insecure situation for women and girls" in the camps.
February 28, 2011- A case filed before an African judicial body could open a new front in efforts by human rights groups to hold the CIA and its partners accountable for what they allege was the torture of innocent victims in secret "black site" prisons around the world. The case involves Mohammed al-Asad, who said he was arrested in late 2003 at his home in Tanzania, blindfolded and flown to a secret prison in Djibouti. He said he was subjected to two weeks of torture and inhuman treatment in a clandestine CIA rendition and detentions program designed to nab suspected terrorists. From Djibouti, human rights activists say, Asad was dispatched into a network of secret CIA prisons in Afghanistan and Eastern Europe, before being jailed in his native Yemen. In 2006, Asad was released, without being charged with a terrorism-related crime.
(New York, May 4, 2011)The U.S. government’s aggressive use of the immigration system in its counterterrorism efforts discriminates against Muslims and violates international human rights law, said the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice (CHRGJ) at NYU School of Law and the Asian American Legal and Education Defense Fund (AALDEF) as they released a Briefing Paper on the issue today.
(New York and London, February 28, 2011)–The African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights should require Djibouti to answer for abuses it committed as part of the CIA’s secret detention and rendition program, said the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice (CHRGJ) at NYU School of Law and the international human rights law organization, INTERIGHTS in a legal filing today. The two organizations urged the African Commission to officially accept the first-ever international case exposing an African country’s role in the U.S. rendition, secret detention, and torture program. The case—made public today—was confidentially filed in December 2009 on behalf of their client, Mohammed al-Asad, a Yemeni national who was detained in Djibouti in December 2003 and January 2004 as part of the CIA’s secret detention and rendition program. In addition to secretly detaining al-Asad, Djibouti was responsible for transferring him into the “black site” prison program, where he spent some sixteen months in secret and incommunicado detention. In May 2005, al-Asad was transferred to Yemen, where he resides freely today.

As organizations concerned with human rights in Haiti, we call on the Government of Haiti to immediately take steps to investigate and prosecute Jean-Claude Duvalier for human rights violations committed during his 1971-86 rule of Haiti. Scores of human rights investigations, legal cases, victim testimonies, and in-depth reports provide ample evidence to commence formal proceedings against Jean-Claude Duvalier. While the primary responsibility to investigate and prosecute Duvalier rests squarely with the Government of Haiti, we call on the international community to provide all needed assistance to enable Haiti to fully and promptly investigate and prosecute him. Given the fragile state of Haiti’s infrastructure following the January 12, 2010 earthquake and the current cholera and electoral crises, significant international assistance may be needed.
During Jean-Claude Duvalier’s regime, systematic killings, “disappearances,” torture, and other ill-treatment were widespread. These crimes were often carried out by the infamous paramilitary force known as the Tontons Macoutes (or officially as the Volontaires de la Sécurité Nationale), as well as special units of the armed forces of Haiti and local authorities empowered with brutal force. The crimes left many thousands dead, wounded, or in exile and amounted to crimes against humanity. Under international law, Haiti is obligated to investigate and prosecute such acts, which are not subject to otherwise relevant statutes of limitation.
Jean-Claude Duvalier’s arrival in Port-au-Prince on January 16 provides the Government of Haiti an unprecedented opportunity to right the wrongs of the past through the rule of law. By thoroughly investigating and effectively prosecuting these crimes, the Government of Haiti would finally end the impunity that Duvalier has enjoyed since he fled into exile in France in 1986. It would also provide well-deserved hope to those who have waited decades for their persecutors to be brought to justice. And–at a crucial moment in the country’s political process—it will demonstrate that while the constitution may be paper, it can be mightier than the bayonet.

Antan ke òganizasyon ki konsène ak dwa moun an Ayiti, nou mande Gouvènman Ayiti-a pou li pran imedyatman tout mezi pou fè ankèt ak pouswiv Jean-Claude Duvalier pou vyolasyon dwa moun pandan ane li te fè sou pouvwa-a de 1971 a 1986. Nòt nan ankèt dwa moun, afè jiridik, temwayaj viktim, ak rapò detaye bay ase prèv pou kòmanse pwosedi fòmèl kont Jean-Claude Duvalier. Pandan ke responsabilite prensipal pouf è ankèt ak pouswi Duvalier chita franchman sou do Gouvènman Ayiti-a, nou mande kominote entènasyonal la pou bay tout èd ki nesesè pou Ayiti kapab fè ankèt ak pouswiv li tout bon, epi prese. Daprè jan eta efrastrikti Ayiti frajil aprè tranblemendetè 12 janvye 2010 la, ak kriz ki gen kounye-a akòz kolera ak eleksyon-an, yo ka bezwen anpil èd kote kominote entènasyonal la. Sou pouvwa Jean-Claude Duvalier, asasinay, “disparisyon”, tòti, ak lòt move tretman te konn fèt toupatou. Apil fwa krim sa yo se fòs paramilitè ke yo konnen sou non Tonton Makout (oswa ofisyèlman sou non Volontaires de la Sécurité Nationale) kit e konn fè yo, ansanm ak tout inite spesyal fòs lame Dayiti ansanm ak otorite local yo kit e genyen yon fò brital. Krim sa yo fè plis pase mil moun mouri, blese, oswa an ekzil, ak lòt krim kont limanite. Daprè dwa entènasyonal la, Ayiti oblije fè envestigasyon ak pouswiv jan de zak sa yo, ki pa ale anba lwa sou limitasyon yo.
Jean-Claude Duvalier ki vini nan Pòtoprens nan dat 18 janvye-a bay Gouvènman Ayiti-a yon gwo opòtinite pou ranje tout sa ki te fèt mal nan lepase daprè lalwa. Lè fè yon bon envestigasyon ak ale devan lajistis pou krim sa yo, Gouvènman Ayiti-a tap fini ak zafè enpinite ke Duvalier tap jwi depi lè li te ale nan egzil an Frans an 1986. An mèm tan sa t’ap bay lespwa bay tout sa ki t’ap tann depi lontan ke moun ki t’ap pèsekite yo-a pase devan lajistis. Epi – nan yon moman enpòtan nan pwosesis politik peyi-a – l’ap montre ke menm si konstitisyon-an se papye, li gen plis pouvwa pase bayonet.
