Revision as of 13:56, 24 July 2002 by Ed Poor (talk | contribs) (apartheid and Arab-Israeli confilct)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Can anybody write something here on the beginnings and ending of apartheid in South Africa? Thanks.
I know the term originated in South Africa, but recently:
- apartheid was made a "human rights" violation, even for something as minor as not letting people organize a labor union
- a new supranational count (the ICC) claims jurisdiction to prosecute human rights violations everywhere in the world, even countries which did not ratify the ICC treaty
- my POV is that there's a trick here: the ICC/apartheid thing will be used selectively against Israel
