The struggle for human rights continues on a daily basis worldwide. Whether it's a struggle to prevent starvation in Africa, assert one's civil rights in the United States, or avoid torture in Latin America or Asia because of one's political opinion, these are all issues for Human rights 4 all?

Let's Hope this Trial Goes better than the Milosevic Trial!
Charles Taylor -- the ex-Liberian ruler is finally on trial for "crimes against humanity" for the Sierra Leone Special Court. I'm pleased to see that the presiding justice is Ugandan fireball Justice Julia Sebutinde. However, I'm hoping that Taylor doesn't pull the same stunts as Milosevic and use the court to grandstand. We need real justice for the people of Sierra Leone and Africa -- warlords like Taylor should not be allowed to make the court or the world look like a circus.
