United Nations officials say the human rights situation in eastern Ukraine is worsening.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay released a report on Friday that details an "alarming deterioration in the human rights situation in the east of the country," and identifies a list of problems that are emerging in Russia-occupied Crimea.

The report, which was compiled from a team of 34 monitors operating in the country covering April 2 through May 6 2014, cites "a breakdown in law and order and a climate of intimidation and harassment," due to the groups of armed separatists that are occupying government buildings across many cities in eastern Ukraine.

"Leaders and members of these armed groups commit an increasing number of human rights abuses, such as abductions, harassment, unlawful detentions, in particular of journalists," the report states, noting that freedom of expression "is under particular attack."

At least 23 journalists have been abducted and unlawfully detained in the country, it says, noting most of the abductions occurred in Slovyansk the city where Vice reporter Simon Ostrovsky was capturedf or a week in April and, upon his release, told of others that were being held in a damp basement there.

New Delhi, May 16 : Human rights and civil society groups, in a joint statement Friday condemned the brazen killing of a Pakistani advocate and human rights commission member.

Rashid Rehman Khan was murdered by unidentified gunmen at the office of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan in Multan last week.

Khan, a Pakistan Supreme Court lawyer, was killed for defending a university lecturer against unfounded accusations of blasphemy -- a charge that carries the death sentence.

He had been openly warned by fellow lawyers in the presence of the presiding judge against continuing to defend the accused during the course of a hearing being held inside jail premises, the statement said.

"Khan's requests to the local police to investigate these threats had gone unheeded. He was murdered as he sat preparing an appeal asking that the blasphemy case be quashed," it said.

"Constitution of Pakistan obliges the state to ensure each individual a fair trial, assures each person of a right to an effective defence as well as assures each person of the right to hold their own views, associate with others and follow a profession," the statement said.

It said the killing of Khan for doing his duty as a lawyer amounted to a traitorous act against the Constitution.

"We urge the government of Pakistan to take necessary steps toward effective investigation by higher police authorities and swiftly identify the killers and bring them to justice along with their abettors," it said.

The statement has been endorsed by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health Anand Grover, Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust, Centre for Policy Alternatives (Sri Lanka), Centre for Peace and Development Initiative (Pakistan), Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (India), Gulmina Bilal Ahmad (Pakistan), INFORM Human Rights Documentation Centre (Sri Lanka), Maldivian Democracy Network (Maldives), Rozan (Pakistan), Ruki Fernando (Sri Lanka) and Working Group on Human Rights in India.

March 21, 2014: Then-United Nations investigator Richard Falk addresses a news conference in Geneva.Reuters

It didn't take long for the United Nations to fill the anti-Israel role that controversial human rights investigator Richard Falk played -- as he left his post earlier this month, his wife and co-author on numerous pro-Palestinian papers was named to a separate position by the U.N. Human Rights Council.

The perfectly timed switcheroo has the Obama administration and others fuming. Falk was notorious in his role as the point person for the Palestinian territories, known for his anti-Israel remarks and association with the 9/11 truther crowd -- his wife, Hilal Elver, carries a similar reputation.

A statement from the U.S. Mission in Geneva warned that the appointment, to be the new Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, could "reflect negatively" on the council. The statement noted "several of Ms. Elver's previous publications include biased and inflammatory views regarding the United States and the state of Israel."

Further, the Obama administration said her "lack of relevant experience" in the area of food "raises questions about her readiness" for a post dedicated to studying access to food.

But it is her public statements and writings that have caused the most concern. UN Watch, a United Nations watchdog group, repeatedly objected to the appointment, including in a recent letter to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power.

"Decisions like this threaten to turn the UN into a joke," UN Watch director Hillel Neuer said in a statement. "Falk was an open admirer of 9/11 conspiracy theorists and an apologist for terror groups whose term was finally up, so now the UN installed his closest professional collaborator -- his wife."

A 2007 article by Elver and Falk compared the situation in Israel and the Palestinian territories to genocide. She also has repeatedly warned about the "Jewish lobby," claiming it has been "manipulating American politics" to ensure support for Israel.

Further, in December she presented a paper on what she called "water apartheid," focusing on Israel's alleged control over water to deprive Palestinians.

Like her husband, Elver has associated herself with 9/11 conspiracy theorists. She was listed in David Ray Griffin's "The New Pearl Harbor," which suggests the George W. Bush administration was complicit in the 2001 terror attacks, as having helped on the project.

Kathmandu, May 15 : Nepal Thursday released its 2014 Human Development Report, titled 'Beyond Geography, Unlocking Human Potential', in Kathmandu.

The report came after Nepal had committed to developing from a least developed to a middle-income country by 2022.

For the first time in Nepal, the report attempts to assess productive capability at the levels of regions, households and individuals as determined by development efforts of the last two decades, Xinhua reported.

"Human development is all about expanding capabilities and unlocking human potential uniformly across all regions and social groups," Pitamber Sharma, team leader of the Nepal Human Development Report 2014, said.

The report calls for enhancing skills of the population while bridging the regional and group divide.

Sharma noted that even though human development index (HDI) values have improved over the years, inequalities based on geography, social groups, gender and household well-being persist in the Himalayan nation.

In an interview with Xinhua, Sharma particularly stressed on the need for creating a bridge linking prospective employers with skilled population.

"Nowadays, a large proportion of the working age population is employed in occupations which are not matching their true abilities," he said.

He added that Nepal must make sure that labour migrants were safe and fairly remunerated. Similarly, UN Assistant Secretary General and UN Development Programme (UNDP) Regional Director Haoliang Xu, in a visit to Nepal, underlined the importance of converting the country's human resources potential into a reality.

Resistance to the Post Human Slave Borg

A post-race dinner has left a sour taste for some after the Saint Clair Vineyard Half Marathon on Saturday when guests were forced to sit on the floor to eat their meals.

First-time race participant Jono Scott, of Christchurch, said the Saint Clair Vineyard Half Marathon Makana Confections Finishing Toast was the "most disorganised after-party" he had been to.

"There were so many things they could have done better. I spoke to others who were at previous ones and they said this was by far the worst," he said.

Scott spent about 45 minutes outside the Marlborough Convention Centre waiting with hundreds of others who were evacuated during a fire alarm not long after the event started.

"On top of that there weren't enough tables and chairs for everybody, so we ended up grabbing tables and chairs ourselves out of the closet to use. When you've just run 21k you didn't really want to stand up to eat."

Following the evacuation, guests went inside to line up for their choice of five or six meal options, some of which ran out, Scott said.

Scenic Hotels human resource manager Matt McLean said service for the night had been disrupted by the alarm.

"As soon as we came back in, all 800 people went straight to the food stalls, and the chefs had to start cooking again. It's unfortunate, and it's not an excuse but they all went back into the building at the same time as the guests," he said.

The centre had hosted the event for the past seven or eight years, and food service usually happened over a longer period of time, he said.

Third-time half marathon runner Wellington woman Sharne Fairbrother said the race itself was once again "really well" organised, but her first Finishing Toast dinner was the opposite.
