Later when he had his Health check done.. doctors diagnosed that he had AIDS. His parents couldn't believe it...Then the entire family under went a checkup... none of them suffered from Aids. So the doctors checked again with the boy if he had eaten out.The boy said 'Yes'. He had pineapple that evening. Immediately a group from the hospital went to the pineapple vendor to check. They found the pineapple seller had a cut on his finger while cutting the pineapple; his blood had spread into the fruit. When they had his blood checked...the guy was suffering from AIDS...but he himself was NOT aware. Unfortunately the boy is now suffering from it. Please take care while u eat on the road side (particularly tasty Vadapav & Paani Puri) and pls fwd this mail to your dear one's..

[GreenYouth] Universal Periodic Review of the UN Human Rights Council: Statement from CORE
CORE Centre for Organisation Research & Education Indigenous Peoples’ Centre for Policy and Human Rights in India’s Eastern Himalayan Territories NGO in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations PRESS STATEMENT: 14 April, 2008 The draft report of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review for India was presented for adoption at 5: 30 this evening at the United Nations in Geneva. Countries who have made specific recommendations will have a further two weeks to make final editorial changes in their recommendations. Scattered amidst fulsome and flowery accolades referring to India’s shining example of ‘unparalleled pluralism’, ‘laudable measures to ensure a country wide balance in the enjoyment of human rights’ and as a ‘model where civil society and democracy flourishes and the press actively reports on human rights abuses’ were a few concerns. Forty-two statements were made by various delegations in the interactive session, only some asking for additional information or raising issues of concern. Regarding the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, its review and the possibility of repeal, questions were raised by the UK and Canada. Several countries including the UK, France, Germany and Canada inquired into the situation of Torture and the intentions of India to ratify CAT. Several countries. Luxemburg, Germany, Algeria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Singapore. Malaysia and Canada inquired into the issues of caste and ethnic discrimination with reference to tribal peoples and dalit or in the context of the Convention on Racial Discrimination. Several countries also inquired into the issues of religious based discrimination. There were also several comments on concerns of discrimination against women and child labour, inquiry into the role of National Human Rights Institutions and the problem of unequal benefits of globalization and India’s remarkable economic growth over the recent years. Issues concerning the legal discrimination of alternative sexual practices and the Right to Information Act were also mentioned. Many countries also recommended that India should extend a standing invitation to the Special Procedures Eighteen recommendations emerged finally from the interactive dialogue to which India will provide responses in ‘due time’ after considering these recommendations. Significantly, and worryingly, the issue of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act was not pursued into the final list of recommendations. Neither were questions related to concerns of Indigenous and Tribal Peoples. Obviously, since India has the right in this process to refuse to permit certain issues in discussion, these were the issues that were excluded by India. It may be mentioned here that CORE Manipur submitted a formal report to the Human Rights Council last year with some specific recommendations. The overall recommendations that were accepted for inclusion then are: Expedite Ratification of the Convention Against Torture and its Optional Protocol Continue to fully involve the national civil society in the follow up to the UPR of India as was done for its preparation Continue energising existing mechanisms to enhance the addressing of human rights challenges Encourage enhanced cooperation with human rights bodies and all relevant stakeholders in the pursuit of a society oriented towards the attainment of internationally recognised human rights goals Maintain disaggregated data on caste and related discrimination Consider signature and ratification of the Optional protocol to the CEDAW Consider signature and ratification of ILO Convention 132 ( on child labour) Share best practices in the promotion and protection of human rights taking into account the multi religious, multi cultural and multi ethnic nature of Indian society Review the reservation on Article 32 of the CRC (on Child Labour) Consider new ways of addressing growing economic and social inequities arising out of rapid economic growth and share experiences / results of best practices in addressing poverty Take into account recommendations made by treaty bodies and special procedures especially those relating to women and children in developing a national action plan for human rights which is under preparation Ratify the Convention on Enforced Disappearances Strengthen human rights education specifically in order to strengthen gender based and caste based discrimination Extend standing invitation to special procedures Receive as soon as possible the special Rapporteur on the question of torture Fully integrate a gender perspective in the follow up process to the UPR Follow up on CEDAW recommendations to amend the Special Marriages Act Continue efforts to allow for a harmonious life in a multi religious multi cultural multi ethnic and multi lingual society and to guarantee a society constituting one fifth of the worlds population to be well fed well housed well cared for and well educa
