Re: [AI] Govt. buildings to go disabled-friendly
Learnt from an architect that the CPWD has special building bylaws for accessibility that specifies things like the gradient of the slope for ramps, width of the entrances and several others.

Yes, Subramani CCPD has indeed published a manual called, Planning the barrier free environment. However, their home page does not even contain a link to the said publication.

Re: [AI] Govt. buildings to go disabled-friendly
Rajesh, We have a National Building Code of India (by Bureau of Indian Standards) revised in 2005 which has many good features on accessibility. But this code is an advisory code and each state has to accept and ratify the standards to be applicable to them. Min. of UD had issued CPWD Guidelines in 1998. Office of Chief Commissioner has published a book on Planning the barrier free environment, similarly RCI has also published a similar book. So we have multiple standards on physical access to infrastructure and it leads to confusion among the implementing bodies. *In light of this, Min. of UD has constituted a Core Committee to harmonise the Access Standards for India which is currently working on the issue and most likely to complete the project within six months. This process involved comparative study of international best practices and also multiple Indian standards as above and choose best practices based on Universal design (ref UNCRPD).* *Incidently, my organisation Svayam is a part of this Core committee among other stakeholders drawn from various quarters of civil society and govt. departments dealing with the subject. We have already contributed a comparative study of international best practices on the Standards of Access and submitted to the Core Committee.* However, for now, the standard building bye-laws that the State has adopted will be applicable in your case. For eg. Min. of UD had circulated Model Building Bye-laws to all the states in India for adoption. Not all states have still adopted them. Even those who have adopted, the implementation is abysmally pathetic because there is no check on the defaulters and even if some one is caught, they get away by paying fine and do not necessarily have to break the inaccessible structure to fulfill their legal duty. It is often implemented by the civic authorities who pass the building plans before the construction begins. often the engineers and architects are not sensitized and do not adhere strictly to standards, often ramp gradient is changed to save space. Toilet doors size and internal dimensions are mostly not adhered to. The entrance and internal connectivity is often lacking due to presence of level differences. Often there is no connecting accessible pathway leading to the building. These issues will remain even if standard Access Standards are brought in. I sincerely feel that these can be ensured only if building plans are not sanctioned unless they adhere to the Model Building bye-laws/New Access Code under development. Also strict penal provisions need to be brought in and the defaulters should be made to pay heavy penalty on daily basis unless they have made the necessary provision for access. Another crucial issue is of maintenance and regular checks. Often it is seen that under the pressure of law and advocacy groups, some infrastructure is created, but often it is not maintained properly and gradually either it remains closed or locked to be opened only for inspection purposes or just left to be encroached upon by vested interest. I have many examples of encroached ramps, designated parking spaces, locked toilets, ill-maintained accessible toilets, blocked tactile pavings created for use by blind. Therefore, the first movement should be to create access environment. Second movement should be to conduct regular access audits of these properties by pressure groups of users or civil society in addition to an Inspector/Engineer of the civic body who is held accountable for implementation and audits. More and more watch-dogs are needed to ensure that it becomes a reality for we know if we leave it to others (read Govt.), the situation is not only to change for sure. I will keep the list posted on the developments on the work of Core Committee of Min. of UD. For your reference, you can have copies of the documents from the following links: RCI's training manual on: Access for All: http://www.rehabcouncil.nic.in/programmes/access_all.htm CPWD's Model Building byelaws: http://www.disabilityindia.org/Guidelines%20%20space%20standards%20for%20barrier.htm For other documents, please contact me off the list. However, all these documents will be useless once the Uniform Access Code comes out from MUD. -- Warm regards, Subhash Chandra Vashishth Advocate-Disability Rights Consultant- Inclusive Accessible Environment Mobile: +91 (11) 9811125521 Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to.

[AI] The growing threats to Human Rights
Date:05/12/2009 URL: http://www.thehindu.com/2009/12/05/stories/2009120555990800.htm Back Opinion - Leader Page Articles The growing threats to human rights Ramesh Thakur In most cases, the gravest threats to the human rights of citizens emanate from states. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed on December 10, 1948, transformed an aspiration into legally binding standards and spawned a raft of institutions to scrutinise government conformity and condemn noncompliance. It remains the central organising principle of global human rights and a source of power and authority on behalf of victims. A human right, owed to every person simply as a human being, is inherently universal. Human rights are held only by human beings, but equally by all; they do not flow from office, rank, or relationship. Universalising the human rights norm was one of the great achievements of the twentieth century. Numerous U.N. conventions, declarations and protocols produced this progressive result. They are our firewalls against barbarism (Michael Ignatieff). Human rights establish boundaries between individuals, society and the state. The assertion of a human right is a claim on protection from threats from people, groups or public authorities. Human rights are endangered in conditions of anarchy when there is no functioning law enforcement and judicial machinery to defend them. In most cases, however, the gravest threats to the human rights of citizens emanate from states. Over the past decade state-based threats to human rights have taken several forms. Many civil liberties have been curtailed in recent years through law or by administrative decisions and infringements on freedoms that would have been challenged in the pre-9/11 environment. Western governments have sometimes abandoned nationals overseas if their detention or abuse is carried out in the name of anti-terrorism. Their troops in Afghanistan may have colluded in handing over suspects to local interrogators skilled at breaking more than toothpicks. Their law enforcement officers have transferred the burden of risk of death and injury to innocent people, for example through lax protocols governing the use of tasers. Border agents everywhere seem to be drifting into a make-my-day machismo as their default mode of dealing with the travelling public. Banning the gadfly British MP George Galloway from visiting Canada in March 2009 was especially egregious and counterproductive in giving him dollops of extra oxygen for free publicity. The banning of minarets by the good citizens of Switzerland is illiberal democracy at its worst, fanned by the flames of group hysteria against the backdrop of post-9/11 Islamophobia. The ceremony of innocence will be truly drowned if the western centre of civilisation cannot hold. The problem was aggravated with the former chief champion of human rights becoming a leading delinquent. U.S. abuses in Guantánamo and Iraq significantly weakened the world's ability to protect human rights. When a dominant country like the U.S. openly defies the law, others mimic its policy and its leverage over them is reduced: Washington cannot call on others to uphold principles it itself violates. In a landmark case involving the CIA's extraordinary rendition programme as part of the war on terror, on November 24, an Italian judge convicted 23 Americans of kidnapping an Egyptian cleric on a Milan street in 2003. They were tried in absentia and may never see jail time. But they are in effect fugitives in the 25 EU countries and subject to arrest and extradition to Italy. The case thus is another nail in the coffin of impunity and sends a warning shot across Washington's bow that if the U.S. fails to hold its officials accountable for breaking foreign laws, other countries will. Once, torture was acknowledged to be so abhorrent that no one publicly approved the practice. The post-9/11 climate of fear encouraged debate on whether torture is justified if it prevents mass terrorist attacks. A posture of moral relativism can be profoundly racist, proclaiming in effect that the other is not worthy of the dignity that belongs inalienably to one. Those of us who live in zones of safety, activating the moral imagination to feel the pain of others (Ignatieff) as our own, have a duty of care to those living in zones of danger. A second set of threats is posed by the creation of human rights machinery that has become a monster mocking the meat it feeds on. Human rights seek to protect individuals from oppression by political, social and religious authorities. The responsibility for enacting laws and constructing the bureaucratic, police, and judicial machinery to monitor and enforce human rights lies with the state. Social and religious groups can capture the political agenda and subvert

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed on December 10, 1948, transformed an aspiration into legally binding standards and spawned a raft of institutions to scrutinise government conformity and condemn noncompliance. It remains the central organising principle of global human rights and a source of power and authority on behalf of victims. A human right, owed to every person simply as a human being, is inherently universal. Human rights are held only by human beings, but equally by all; they do not flow from office, rank, or relationship. Universalising the human rights norm was one of the great achievements of the twentieth century. Numerous U.N. conventions, declarations and protocols produced this progressive result. They are our firewalls against barbarism (Michael Ignatieff). Human rights establish boundaries between individuals, society and the state. The assertion of a human right is a claim on protection from threats from people, groups or public authorities. Human rights are endangered in conditions of anarchy when there is no functioning law enforcement and judicial machinery to defend them. In most cases, however, the gravest threats to the human rights of citizens emanate from states. Over the past decade state-based threats to human rights have taken several forms. Many civil liberties have been curtailed in recent years through law or by administrative decisions and infringements on freedoms that would have been challenged in the pre-9/11 environment. Western governments have sometimes abandoned nationals overseas if their detention or abuse is carried out in the name of anti-terrorism. Their troops in Afghanistan may have colluded in handing over suspects to local interrogators skilled at breaking more than toothpicks. Their law enforcement officers have transferred the burden of risk of death and injury to innocent people, for example through lax protocols governing the use of tasers. Border agents everywhere seem to be drifting into a make-my-day machismo as their default mode of dealing with the travelling public. Banning the gadfly British MP George Galloway from visiting Canada in March 2009 was especially egregious and counterproductive in giving him dollops of extra oxygen for free publicity. The banning of minarets by the good citizens of Switzerland is illiberal democracy at its worst, fanned by the flames of group hysteria against the backdrop of post-9/11 Islamophobia. The ceremony of innocence will be truly drowned if the western centre of civilisation cannot hold. The problem was aggravated with the former chief champion of human rights becoming a leading delinquent. U.S. abuses in Guantánamo and Iraq significantly weakened the world's ability to protect human rights. When a dominant country like the U.S. openly defies the law, others mimic its policy and its leverage over them is reduced: Washington cannot call on others to uphold principles it itself violates. In a landmark case involving the CIA's extraordinary rendition programme as part of the war on terror, on November 24, an Italian judge convicted 23 Americans of kidnapping an Egyptian cleric on a Milan street in 2003. They were tried in absentia and may never see jail time. But they are in effect fugitives in the 25 EU countries and subject to arrest and extradition to Italy. The case thus is another nail in the coffin of impunity and sends a warning shot across Washington's bow that if the U.S. fails to hold its officials accountable for breaking foreign laws, other countries will. Once, torture was acknowledged to be so abhorrent that no one publicly approved the practice. The post-9/11 climate of fear encouraged debate on whether torture is justified if it prevents mass terrorist attacks. A posture of moral relativism can be profoundly racist, proclaiming in effect that the other is not worthy of the dignity that belongs inalienably to one. Those of us who live in zones of safety, activating the moral imagination to feel the pain of others (Ignatieff) as our own, have a duty of care to those living in zones of danger. A second set of threats is posed by the creation of human rights machinery that has become a monster

[AI] Assistance Dogs for the Physically Challenged
hey listers, i've harvested this from my inbox because i thought it'll be interesting for you guys to read it. enjoy! Assistance Dogs for the Physically Challenged All through history dogs have served man, in peace and war, guarding his home and livestock from intruders, carrying and pulling heavy loads and being a loyal companion. In times of war, dogs have served as messengers, sentries, scouts and lifesavers. In the modern-day fight against crime, dogs assist in sniffing out drugs and explosives and tracking down wanted criminals. In recent times dogs have been busy giving a new lease of life to people who are physically challenged. India has a huge and ever-growing population of physically disabled people and not enough facilities to help them. Though a lot of Government and Non-Government Agencies are doing their best to alleviate some of their problems, there are so many other unexplored options. For the past few years the Mumbai based unit CANINES CAN CARE has worked to train dogs to aid individuals who are physically challenged. The dogs help the handicapped to achieve their desire to be independent by performing tasks that are physically demanding. It is very difficult for an able-bodied person to imagine the plight of a physically handicapped person. Trivial daily tasks which we take for granted like picking up a fallen object or opening a door, present a daunting challenge to the handicapped. With most disabilities the person suffers from a limited use of their hands, feet and fingers. In many cases the person is unable to close their fist or to grasp an object or to pull and push, making the simplest of tasks frustrating and incapable. This is where an Assistance Dog can aid the person in being independent. A fully trained Assistance Dog can understand up to fifty commands. A few of the tasks they can carry out are listed below. Picking up dropped objects Fetch a telephone Dropping articles in a waste paper basket Opening and closing doors Speak on command to alert of an intruder / Barking for help Getting help in an emergency Loading and unloading washing machine Switching on and off light switches Fetching items from a cupboard, shelf, refrigerator or a drawer Acting as a support Carrying items from one person to another A Canine Companion also dramatically enhances the life of an adult or child with a disability by helping him/her overcome physical and social barriers. The Canine Companion becomes a loyal friend, providing constant companionship and unconditional love. India’s first fully trained Assistance Dog is a black Labrador called Honey. Honey is capable of understanding up to fifty Assistance Dog commands, and regularly gives demonstrations all over the country. Concurrently, the organisation has one puppy in training who is living with her physically challenged companion and one puppy who is growing up in a Puppy Raiser home. Both are Mumbai based. We at Canines Can Care are constantly striving to help disabled people gain independence with the help of assistance dogs. It is the dedication of Canines Can Care volunteers, puppy raisers, members and the generosity of donors that make this remarkable program possible in India. There are many ways in which a person can help sustain and promote the work Canines Can Care has set out to accomplish. If you believe in independence and freedom for all living creatures please show your support.

Re: [AI] Macro Economics for novices
hello vicky, Its difficult to understand Macro Economics without learning the theories I mean its difficult to get the concepts superfitially. Moreover most books on the subjects are from foreign authors. I would suggest you to do an online search and read books which you can understand. And if some queries arise we can discuss them individually. Having being studied economics in detail probably I dont have a layman's approach if some other list members can suggest you a book , nothing like it.

Re: [AI] Assistance Dogs for the Physically Challenged
Dear Prateek, In many parts of the world, Guide Dogs also called service animals and assistance dogs have proved to be a great boon for independent mobility of the visually disabled people and those experiencing other disabilities. For India it is relatively new though. But we seem to be getting ready for it. During the discussions on the CAR (Civil Aviation Requirements) for carriage of persons with disabilities, issue of allowing guide dogs in the cabin came up very strongly and you will be glad to know that it form a part of the New CAR on the issue and guide dogs are allowed with certain rules that the user need to follow to prevent inconvenience to other users. However, the relevant transport acts relating to road transport and rail transport are not yet geared up for this new system of assistance. I have suggested amendments in many laws in light of UNCRPD in a recently held national consultation by HRLN which is still on. This issue also needs to be included in PDA. regards -- Warm regards, Subhash Chandra Vashishth Mobile: +91 (11) 9811125521 Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to.
