US REVIEW BY UN HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE

On Monday and Tuesday, the United States was reviewed by the UN Human Rights Committee for its compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The ICCPR is a UN human rights treaty that protects fundamental civil and political rights, and as a party to the treaty, the US has pledged to respect and ensure these rights.

The review is a regular, periodic examination of countries that have ratified the treaty. The US ratified the ICCPR in 1992, but the US review - its second - is more than seven years late due to the State Department's delay in submitting its own official report. The review was conducted by the UN Human Rights Committee. The Committee is composed of independent human rights experts who consider the official US report as well as information submitted by civil society groups.

The ICCPR review follows a similar review last May by UN experts concerning US compliance with the Convention Against Torture which resulted in calls to close Guantanamo Bay and criticism of domestic prison conditions and police brutality.

In addition to national surveillance, the war against terror and extraterritorial abuses, the Committee raised the issues of discrimination in education, prison conditions, racial profiling, LGBT rights, Hurricane Katrina abuses, the death penalty, juvenile justice issues, immigrants' rights, women's rights, racial profiling, the use of tasers, and felon disenfranchisement.

Rather than engage in a dialogue, the US delegation refused to admit that its human rights record could be improved and repeatedly relied on jurisdictional arguments that issues were beyond the scope of the Covenant (ie the covenant does not apply extraterritorially, the covenant does not apply where the law of armed conflict applies) or outside the Committee's jurisdiction because of the US reservations upon ratification of the Covenant (ie the administration of the death penalty and the treatment of juvenile offenders were beyond the scope of the review). US representatives also asserted that the US interpretation of obligations differed from the Committee and that the US was not bound by the Committee's interpretation and went so far as to say that the Committee's views were not even authoritative. In response to this assertion, the chair expressed her disagreement, remarking that the Committee was not merely a stenographer or a chamber in which to register reports; it is a monitoring body to ensure the implementation of treaty obligations.

The HRC's concluding comments and observations should be available by July 28. In the meantime, the link to the UN press release is available at

Professor Universitario in Argentina
By Eduardo Marcelo Cocca (*)

We must have in sure if we want an artisan university education, amateur, or an education into the hands of true professionals in fact and of right, as it corresponds and we deserve ourselves, and mainly in a serious country in, where it must reign over all the State of Right, to all we must prohang so that its exercise, is not an expression of desires, but a reality, to which all without no doubt we aspired.

The habitual thing, as much in universities you publish like private and with the consent of its authorities, Professors Universitarios, they are only in fact, they hold a degree race as much and they as the authorities, consider sufficient merit to qualify them like professors, in open contradiction with the laws that regulate the exercise of the profession, L.E.S. Art. 36, Penal Code, etc.

From a strictly legal point of view we are as opposed to a flagrant violation of the law, penal crimes including, I believe that it is not necessary to remember that all citizen has obligation to know the law, nor that to say if he is lawyers.

Displeased and gladly as much you participate necessary, like authorities that they name in these positions, are incursas in crime, to remember CP, when it says that that it designates to us somebody without I title sufficient, we can close the eyes or to watch for another side, as we have done until now, but later nonos we complain the results or we look for expiatorios chivos in the secondary school, when the true problem, nucleus of this question is the same university, that sure handled by amateurs and nontrue professionals, titleholders the results cannot be other that those that they are exhibited, lamentably.

The National State, through Ministry of Education grants as it corresponds, authorization to different universities you publish and private, the permission for the postgraduate of Professor Universitario and later granting of I title corresponding, after attended and approved curricula it specifies of the race.

However, the great majority of the professionals who exert like educational college students, except for rare exceptions, lacks I title of Professor Universitario.

Professor Universitario, when this in class in front of the pupils, not this in quality of lawyer, judge, doctor, engineer, etc., but acting as and carrying out the roll of Professor Universitario, and for which and he falls of mature which its race of degree is not sufficient for the professional exercise like Professor Universitario, as marks to the common sense and the regulations to it of the laws.

Prime facie, these professionals, without I title of Professor Universitario, would be reached about the Art. 246. - inc.1. - Usurpation of Titles. - of the Penal Code, that says: the one that exerted or will assume functions you publish without I title. - Art., 247. - According to law 24527. - Usurpation of Titles, - Penal Code. - that says: the one that it will exert own acts of a profession ......, without having I title ...... and soon it says: the one that arrogare academic degrees, professional titles or honors that will not correspond to him. The law of Superior Education N* 24521, Art. 36, say to us: the educational ones of all the categories must have I title equal college student of or superior level to that in which they exert teaching ........., that is that if they exert like Professor Universitario, as taxativamente marks the law to it, must have I title of Professor Universitario, in addition to I title of the degree race that qualifies it in the specialty.

The universities grant I title of Professor Titular, Associate, Associate or Head of Practical Works. Him memory although seems a truth of Perogrullo, to accede to I title of Professor Universitario, is necessary to attend and to approve certain curricula. The law of Superior Education, that the one that norm, contains and gives legal frame to the universities, nor even in the paragraph referred to the university autonomy, says nowhere that these can name any professional with I title insufficient like Professor Universitario.

From the point of view of the Right, we suppose that somebody that exerts the profession of Lawyer, but does not know that it is the Civil Code, nor that it was Vélez Sarsfield, with complete certainty no lawyer would accept this situation, nevertheless most of Professors Universitarios (in fact), they do not know whom was Amos Comenius, nor whom to say of its "Magna Didactics", or even but in our days, the colleague Abogado and Pedagogo Paulo Freire, perhaps but the important one in the history of the Latin American education, with his text celebrates" the Pedagogía of the Pressed one ".

Professor Universitario, has the prevailing obligation to know, perfectly and deeply, didactic currents, so that in agreement with his loyal one to know and to understand, and after all the pertinent analyses, they will enlist themselves in the conductista current, humanist, mixed constructivista or, or even some personal elaboration based on knowledge that the specialists elaborated day to day, for those to which really he concerns the university education to us we water.

The same he happens to as it is the education methodology, which we will apply with the pupils, will be linear, concentric or espiralada, the handling of anyone of these techniques, must be something so habitual for the true professional, who fulfills the roll of Professor Universitario, like speaking or writing for anyone of us.

The exposed thing until here, does not get to be nor the end of iceberg.

Then gentlemen of once `by all to arrived moment to put us trousers long, and that we assume like cannot be of another way, that cannot be exerted a profession, nor to be a professional of the same one without I title habilitarte.

Like colofón and to leave obviously demonstrated all the exposed one up to here, we say that every month we received alms, to which the universities call pays, and the remunerations are for Junior instructor, jtp, associate, associated or to title, I insist to anyone of these categories arrived by a magical varita that inmerecidamente I inmerecidamente designate them against of all the laws of the sector I even reiterate the Penal Code, that in this case do not act its as preventive like would have and all we are waiting for the unrestricted fulfillment of the norm Would be desirable, that the competent authorities and giving a term of 24 or 36 months, so that present Professors Universitarios in fact, become Professors Universitarios in fact and of right, for own pride and of all the educative community.

Subjects to debate Professors Right Universitarios in fact or in fact and of Professors Professional Universitarios of the education or amateurs of the university education
