Indian academic Khinvraj Jangid says that Modi's appreciation for Israel was two-fold: "One is that it is a religious nation without any hesitation; without any guilt. And second, it is a strong military state. Physical power is very important to him." During the devastating bombing campaign of Gaza earlier in the summer of 2014, India's Foreign Ministry released a statement in which it said it was "deeply concerned" over the "steep escalation of violence between Israel and Palestine" and "the loss of civilian life." But it also bemoaned "cross-border provocations resulting from rocket attacks" on Israel. Days later in parliament, Modi's government managed to block an opposition party-led attempt to pass a resolution condemning Israel's disproportionate killings in Gaza. Later, it voted for a United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) resolution to launch a probe into the bombardment, which calmed nerves once more. But India decided to abstain when it came to voting for the resolution (A/HRC/29/L.35) that endorsed the report in mid-2015. By that time, Modi and Netanyahu were speaking on the phone and planning cooperation, if not regional domination. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that Netanyahu had personally called Modi before the vote. Opposition leaders from the Indian National Congress Party and Communist Party India (CPI-M) demanded to know if Indian foreign policy had changed track. Both The Hindu and Haaretz, too, concluded that India's decision to abstain appeared to reflect a significant policy shift toward Israel. The Indian government, however, argued that it abstained only because it took offence to a phrase in the resolution that called for Israel to be taken to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for its crimes. It said it had found the recommendation "intrusive." Commenting on India's response to the Gaza war of 2014, Sadanand Dhume, a columnist with the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), wrote that Delhi's response appeared ready to "suggest publicly what many officials already acknowledge privately: A burgeoning strategic partnership with Israel matters more to India than reflexive solidarity with the Palestinian cause."

Commemorative Tasmanian gay UN panel unveiled

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/commemorative-tasmanian-gay-un-panel-unveiled/

Commemorative Tasmanian gay UN panel unveiled

Former Senator Margaret Reynolds unveiled a commemorative panel in Hobart on Thursday on the 30th anniversary of the United Nations’ condemnation of Tasmania’s anti-gay laws.

The United Nations condemnation serves as one of the great landmarks of LGBTIQA+ rights reform. The decision marked the first time in world history the UN had declared that LGBTIQA+ rights are human rights.

Tasmanian Law Reform

In 1994, Tasmania remained the lone Australian state to still criminalise gay sex. It also had the harshest penalty in the Western world — 21 years.

The UN condemnation resulted from a human rights complaint brought by Tasmanian activist Nicholas Toonen. Consequently, the Keating federal Labor government passed a law prohibiting laws that interfered with the sexual conduct of adults in private.

Nicholas Toonen and then partner Rodney Croome then applied to the High Court on the basis that the federal law overrode Tasmania’s anti-gay laws.

As a result, Tasmania finally decriminalised gay sex in 1997.

Former senator Margaret Reynolds unveiled the commemorative panel at the Salamanca Arts Centre, where the UN decision was announced.

On April 11th 1994, the Tasmanian Gay and Lesbian Rights Group (now Equality Tasmania) announced that the UN Human Rights Committee (UNHRC) had condemned Tasmania’s laws against homosexuality as a breach of international human rights.

Margaret Reynolds reflected during the ceremony on the importance of the UN decision in Tasmania and globally.

She also spoke of her role in advocating for the then Keating Federal Government to take action in response to the decision.

“Tasmanians should be proud that we helped change the world for the better,” she said.

Equality Tasmania spokesperson Rodney Croome also spoke.

“The UNHRC decision not only led to decriminalisation in Tasmania, but has helped prompt reform in many other countries, freeing tens of millions LGBTIQA+ people from criminal stigma.”

“The decision also illustrates the importance of human rights charters in advancing the movement for LGBTIQA+ equality, and reminds us about the need for Tasmanian and Australian Human Rights Acts.”

Afterwards

The UN decision led directly to overriding federal legislation, a High Court challenge against the offending Tasmanian laws, the intervention of Amnesty International and a national boycott of Tasmanian products.

Together with many years of grassroots campaigning, the UN decision led to the repeal of Tasmania’s anti-gay laws in 1997 and Tasmania’s subsequent adoption of some of the world’s most comprehensive LGBTIQA+ discrimination, relationship and gender recognition laws.

The UN decision also contributed to the Federal Government’s recognition of same-sex de facto relationships and its prohibition of sexuality and gender identity discrimination.

Globally, the Tasmanian UN decision has been critical to overturning anti-gay laws in a number of other countries including India, Singapore, Fiji, Cyprus, Botswana, Barbados and Belize.

UNHRC Press Conference Wrap by Al-Jazeera

UNHRC: A group of UNHRC members proposed to make UN agencies and global funds more efficient in improving the arrest and detention conditions of minorities.

They drafted a resolution that called for action on UN agencies that are not performing well and redirecting funds to countries that need them.

China and France, despite their own past problems, joined forces against India, which admitted to Islamophobia. Another group, led by the US, rejected the main group’s resolution, saying that it only offered equality, not justice. They proposed their own resolution and formed a separate bloc.

The main group’s resolution also aimed to enhance the quality of services for minorities, such as food, water and security. It also recommended a review of the UN agencies and third parties that are supposed to help minorities. It also stressed the importance of education for minorities who are misinformed.
