  newcastle heraldchild sex abuse inquiry hears 4000th testimonyby joanne mccarthy sept. 10, 2015, 10:30 p.mthe royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse held its 4000th private hearing in a jail in august as britain followed australias lead in tackling child sexual abuse.the royal commission heard evidence on august 19 from a prisoner who had been sexually abused as a child.in britain, the head of its newly established independent inquiry into child sexual abuse praised the remarkable response to the australian commission.in a speech to australian church leaders on thursday, royal commissioner justice peter mcclellan said he was pleased the british inquiry would closely follow successful australian arrangements.more than 1500 people were waiting for a private hearing and about 40 people a week requested a private hearing, justice mcclellan said.the royal commission has received 16,361 allegations involving 3566 institutions since it was established in november 2012 following the newcastle heralds shine the light campaign for a royal commission into historic child sexual abuse.more than 7000 allegations relate to religious institutions, with 4418 against the catholic church, and more than 3600 against government institutions.allegations against other churches are: anglican, 871; uniting church, 411; presbyterian, 123; methodist, 69; salvation army, 519; jehovahs witnesses, 137; jewish, 80; baptist, 59; seventh day adventist, 56; australian christian churches, 50; lutheran, 32; brethren, 30; mormon, 18; coptic orthodox, 4; and greek orthodox, 2.justice mcclellan said the royal commission had referred 727 matters to police to investigate with a view to prosecuting alleged offenders.in the past few weeks, the royal commission had reported to the federal government on a national redress scheme for victims of abuse.it was clear that time limits presented a considerable, and sometimes an insurmountable, burden for survivors wishing to commence civil proceedings against child sex offenders and institutions, he said.the royal commission should also mark the end of the societal norm that children should be seen but not heard, he said.when the required silence of the child was accompanied by an unquestioning belief by adults in the integrity of the carer ... the power imbalance was entrenched to the inevitable detriment of many children, justice mcclellan said.we must ensure that in the future the institution does not silence the child.

  i have noticed that the jws are participating in meetings organized by the osce.

  they are registered or participate under the "european association of jehovah's christian witnesses".

  one point highlighted in this organization is tolerance.

  Sucessful diplomacy is not done behind closed doors thats a false picture, big events of OCSE and UN are the best platform and the best frame for implementing human rights.

  Conferences like the osce human rights implementation meeting from 9/21- 10/2 in Warszaw have bevome more and more important., think also of the refugees crises.

  The OSCE brochure factsheets gives a good overview,how important the role of NGOs is, annualy 1500 participants, 500 NGOs

  Thst leads to the question or assuming in which networks the JW are supporting human rights, because such info is not available for the regular members of their religion or reported because many would see a regular contact to government or diplomates in UN or Osce as contradiction to doctrine, although in reality it is a humanitarian duty to work for freedom and security for a religious institution

  The different status of ngo at uno and osce is a result of the fact, indeed, that uno is an international org with legal personality, uniform legal status , everything agreed upon with UNO, would be legally binding, ....

  Wheras OSCE has no such international legal personality, the agreement of diplomates are politically binding but not legally, as well ss the agreements with NGO, civil instituions.

  Likewise.. osce has no member states but participating states

  Look up the legal framework at osce.

  The possibility to act free and fast without bureaucracy and consistent pressure of legal consequences compared to Uno can be often even an advantage for diplomats in crisis situations.

  Www.osce.org/mc/87192 ...the legal framework

  There is further a osce court of conciliation snd arbitration who can be addressed by state parties in Geneva, UN has a world court of justice works for UN member states. Www.icj-cij.org . www.un.org

  The role and importance of osce results of the meaning the single participants give it anf how effectively it works lately in the practise.

  There have been many comments on OSCE on this forum already,
  broaching the issue if contact with political organisations or governmental institutions would be hypocrisy.

  Dear umbertoecho:

  In regard to your first question if registering a participant for a meeting or conference of the OSCE organisation, would be a sign or statement of coaliton, associaton or amalgation with OSCE or other political or governmental institutions or international organisations like OSCE UNESCO, NATO, UNO, I would answer this question with a distinct NO, of course not.

  The participants of the "civil society", that is organisations' type name to which the "The European Association of Jehovah's Christian Witnesses" situated in London would belong if it registered again for a conference, could be of any possible religious society or humanitaren organisations or any possible civil organisation
  

  By participating and talking alone with the participants on the conference, displaying information material, may it be of other civil organisations (type 1) (e.g. religious organisations and churches, caritas universities, caritas, newspaper, clubs) or may it be diplomates/delegates of OSCE (tpye 2) (e.g. parliaments, state departments, governmental commitees for minorties, province governments of different countries), or of international organisations (type 3) (e.g. Council of Europe, Commonwealth of independent states, NATO, UNESCO, UNICEF, UNO, Worldbank), other OSCE institutions and Field activities (type 4) or National Human rights institutions (type 5) the 1) civil society (e.g. religious organisations and churches, universities, caritas, newspaper, clubs)
  - no participant becomes a member of any other institution.

  OSCE/ODIHR Conference Registration System http://meetings.odihr.pl/

  The next annual conference in Warszaw , could be interesting and should not be missed if you would like to share important inform with diplomates of member countries, distribute new documents, build networks to establish or strenghen human rights of NGOs in member countries or beyond, in countries where human rights are not yet established. Under the current activities of that Bureau is the Observation Mission in Ukraine including preparing to deploy an Election Observation Mission (EOM) for these elections in October 2015.

  
  

  ODIHR - Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Righs is situation in Poland Warszaw and is one of the OSCE organisations institutions/bureaus. ODIHR works in the field of election observation, reviewing legislation and advising governments on how to develop and sustain democratic institutuions. promoting democratic development, human rights, tolerance and non-discrimination, and the rule of law;
  

  The Office conducts training programmes for government and law-enforcement officials and non-governmental organizations on how to uphold, promote and monitor human rights.

  At the conference beginning on 21 Sep 2015 in Warszaw you could meet participants of 57 OSCE participating States, Partners for Co-operation, OSCE structures, civil society, international organizations and other relevant actors taking stock of the implementation of the OSCE human dimension commitments, discussing associated challenges, sharing good practices and making recommendations for further improvement.

  If you would like to take part at the conference e.g. as representative of civil society (e.g. as representative of this online discussion forum) you would register under the correct type of organisation and read the document

  http://www.osce.org/odihr/170626?download=true info for civil societies.

  You will find out that the participation is free of cost, but that travel and accomodation has to be born by yourself. A full equipped "IO, NGO room" (International Org., Non governmental org) would be available for the duration of the meeting. Further you could display info material on the tables next to the plenar room. You could distribute material by the conferences documents distribution system. If you would like to organise a sideevent you would have be faster and book earlier so that the other participants could be informed at time.

  I would assume that short before the conference starts, all participants are informed about the other registered members and sideevents, so that you could prepare yourself for the conversations....

  So much to show you how the conference registration ... a typical conventions organisation ... looks like.
  

  
  Wether your concern would be to strenghen the freedom of your organsiaton or to strenghen the rights of victims of a cult in both cases it could be a good idea to communicate this with other institutions working on the field of human rights.

  So the OSCE would be the right contact, concerning establishing investigation commissions in other countries. Reason for that is the meaning and importance, the role of the OSCE in the diplomatic decisions and its focus.
  The OSCE has currently already the same if not more influence and supranational authority than NATO, every european country is member and many more.

  ____________
  

  Regarding to your second question, if OSCE has a military connection.... to be continued.

  so i had a discussion with my mother about this, and she claims that because of this that: "we are surely living in the last days right now" while i must admit myself that the situation seem chaotic, i don't want to believe that it is the last days.

  so question is, how do i face an opinion like that?

  The shameless silence of the gulf countries, article by poet vinodnayaran

  http://vinodnarayan.com/2015/09/04/the-shameless-silence-of-the-gulf-muslim-countries-refugee-crisis/

  
  

  According to scientist El-Husseini the gulf states are afraid of too much arabic influence, turmoils and protests. The states had not taken refugees but exported jehadists and assisted enemies of Assad with money and weapons. The already millions of integrated asian workes are accepting the low wages. Syrians would speak the same langueage and would demand higher salaries. The syrians could stir up the own population, said the expert
