In the five years since the Persian Gulf War, according to the United Nations Food
and Agriculture Organization report, "as many as 576,000 children have died as a
result of sanctions imposed against Iraq by the United Nations Security Council."
If the blockade continues, UNICEF officers say that 1.5 million more children will
eventually suffer malnutrition or a variety of unchecked illnesses because the
sanctions make antibiotics and other standard medicines impossible to get. We can
no longer be party to this slaughter in the desert.

The Aboriginal peoples of Australia finally gained official recognition a
couple decades ago after a long history of repression. recently Aboriginal
art and culture has become a hip thing. While this is great for recognition
of the people it is dangerous in that many a shrewd business person would
try to exploit these people and their culture to the fullest extreme to make
a buck. And Civil Rights for Aboriginals is still a growing process, some
good has been done, much more is left undone and oppression is still not
unheard of.
Most recently the issue of land use rights has been hotly debated. Who
really has the right to the land? There is also a growing political party
who'd like to see Aboriginal land rights abolished all together. So it's
far from over and a very complex issue.
Here's some links with good information to get you started.
