jinpanlin520: Many leaders are pandering to a simplistic nationalism

GENEVA Cheap Jerseys From China , Feb. 29 (Xinhua) -- UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, warned Monday that disrespect for human rights could lead to "a colossus of violence and death."

"Human rights violations are like a signal, the sharp zig-zag lines of a seismograph flashing out warnings of a coming earthquake," said the official in an opening statement at the 31st session of the Human Rights Council (HRC) in Geneva's Palais des Nations.

In a damning speech, Al Hussein deplored the increasing departure from the body of institutions and laws encapsulated by the UN in favor of generalized indifference.

"More and more states appear to believe that the legal architecture of the international system is a menu from which they can pick and choose, trashing what appears to be inconvenient Cheap Jerseys China ," he said.

In light of myriad crises affecting millions across the world, the high commissioner called out the simplistic approach used by a number states when addressing complex issues.

"Many leaders are pandering to a simplistic nationalism which mirrors the simplified and destructive 'us' versus 'them' mind-set of the extremists and fans a rising wind of prejudice and fear," he added.

The Jordanian warned that international humanitarian law, which provides extra protection to fighters, civilians, the sick and wounded, and people who have laid down their arms Cheap Custom Jerseys , was also being side-lined.

"In Syria, previous to the temporary cessation of hostilities which began last weekend, this has been the case for five long years," he reminded.

The 52-year-old further condemned similar wide-ranging disregard for human life in countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, South Sudan and Yemen.

"The damage done by these violations Cheap Jerseys , in bloodshed, and needless suffering, and deaths from treatable illnesses and wounds, is dreadful," Al Hussein noted, while also cautioning against the anti-immigrant and anti-minority rhetoric prevalent in many of the world's societies.

Last year, over one million refugees and migrants reached European soil Wholesale NBA Basketball Jerseys , most of them having fled conflicts in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

"The ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu is said to have observed, 'We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center space that makes the wagon move'." That central space is our values. Our principles are the force that create resilience, the capacity to resist threats," he iterated.

"I urge member states to rise above the crescendo of xenophobia and gather lessons from the great integrative forces of history Wholesale Basketball Jerseys ," Al Hussein said, while lauding the growing role played by the council within the United Nations.

"In its second decade, the Human Rights Council must have an important impact on world events and help to ensure that the frightful human rights violations which we are seeing today are not the prologue to even greater suffering and chaos, tomorrow," he concluded.

Created in 2006, the HRC is an inter-governmental body within the UN made up of 47 states and is responsible for the promotion and protection of all human rights around the globe.

The 31st HRC session will take place between Feb. 29 and March 24.

We send flowers to our mothers, sisters Wholesale NBA Jerseys , our grandmothers and best friends. Why can't we send flowers to the men in our lives? Everyone loves to feel special, even when they're part of the male species. What better way to show our dads, brothers, and boyfriends that we care for them other than through flowers?

Some women might be apprehensive at the thought of sending flowers to a man. They might think it's too aggressive a move or that it takes away their femininity. Fortunately, we're out of the dark ages! Indeed, a survey by the Society of American Florists show that over 60% of men they surveyed would like to receive flowers on Valentine's Day.

Avoid giving him a "fluffy" or "poofy" bouquet of flowers in traditionally-feminine shades such as pastels. You also won't go wrong with greens or flowering plants. Orchids are neutral flowers that can be appreciated by both men and women. They come in an array of colors such as purple, chocolate and dark green which can be arranged in a masculine-looking vase. You can also give black roses such as the Hocus Pocus or the Black Magic. They don't look morbid at all; in fact, they are quite masculine and they can make for a very nice floral arrangement especially when they are put in a nice container holder made of leather.
