[Get Real!]

Someone tries to raise the consciousness of Turks/TCs regarding human rights through an 'exhibition'. You'd have thought that even the thugs would think this a good, positive thing. But no : the resident forum thugs jump on their heads for trying to do so and condemn them for trying to raise the human rights consciousness whose allegedly low-level was the cause of the thugs constant moaning.

The hypocrisy of thugs.

So they want to learn eh? Abiding by international law would be a good start…

[CopperLine]

Yes, because I don't assume that we know it all. And neither do GCs or any other people. Let's live and continue to learn.

[denizaksulu]

Personally I welcome the 'Exhibition' It is a positive step. However I would like to know whether the plight of TC and GC refugees or the Human Rights violations of all Cypriots was mentioned.

Perhaps Halil could inform the Forum.

The Turks are the biggest violators of Human Rights. http://www.eubusiness.com/news-eu/1201123021.97/ And that doesn't even count the human rights of the 200.000 Cypriot refugees and the 15 million Kurds that they violate our rights every day! And I don't even count Armenians because those you genocided almost all of them. What you do every day of your lives is The Worst Human Rights Violations Exhibition and you are the record holders! Congratulations! TURKS OUT OF CYPRUS! FREEDOM TO CYPRUS!

Sotos, you really are very silly. I do not want to diminish the human rights tragedy of Cyprus but let's get a sense of perspective. More people are killed, tortured, mutilated, thrown from their homes, abducted etc every month and on a scale in DRC, Sudan, Palestine, Iraq, Somalia, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, China, Burma, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia ...etc etc .... than has ever occurred in Cyprus. I don't expect you to believe me but look at some comparisons at AI, HumanRights Watch, UN Office of Commissioner for Human Rights.

[Your link is to an article (a) about Europe, (b) about ECHR, (c) about human rights claims brought before the ECHR. It is not a measure of human rights abuses per se].

The resident forum thugs constantly claim that Turks/TCs don't know anything about human rights/ are ignorant of human rights/abuse human rights.

The hypocrisy of thugs.

Since their moral compasses failed the TCs, on the differences betwixt right and wrong, as well as possessing congenital communal ignorance about conventions in existence for some 6 decades, you now wish us to hope, that as soon as they have done their "Quick Course in Human Rights", we are to expect immediate withdrawal by the illegally occupying Turkish troops and willing return of all the stolen property & lands back to the 200,000 GCs.

CopperLine says the TCs were merely suffering from low consciousness and need this Exhibition to raise their consciousness ..... So that suggests they knew about Human Rights all along, and just chose to ignore them!

So which is worse: The TCs were ignorant of Human Rights, or the TCs just didn't give a shit?

Here is the some notes from the ENAR Shadow Report on racism in Cyprus

Race, gender, religion, disability, age and sexuality are revealed as the main
grounds for racism and discrimination in Cyprus. Thus, the most vulnerable
groups continued during the reporting period to be migrants, including European
citizens, homosexuals, people of religion other than the predominant Orthodox
Christianity, especially Muslims, elderly people, people with disabilities, and Rom
communities. The present Report focuses on the most vulnerable of these
categories, namely migrants, asylum seekers and refugees.
Among the above communities, third-country migrants prove to be the most
vulnerable to racism and discrimination, with asylum seekers, female migrants
and undocumented migrants being those most at risk. Nevertheless, European
nationals, especially Pontians and migrant workers from the new member states,
do not escape discriminatory treatment either. Unaccompanied minors and
children of undocumented migrants are invisible to the authorities and therefore,
subject to discrimination and racism. In view of the continuing division of the
country, now in its 34th year, Turkish Cypriots in the southern part of the island
and Greek Cypriots in the northern part are extremely vulnerable to racism and
discrimination.
Third-country nationals (TCNs) are perceived and treated by the Cypriot
authorities and society at large as second-class persons and therefore have only
limited access to social rights and benefits and, with regard particularly to
employment, only to unskilled or low-skilled jobs, which are accompanied by the
worst working conditions. Migrants2 are paid minimal wages, which are
significantly lower than the legitimate minimum wage for Cypriots, whereas they
are forced by their employers to work long hours and under extremely healthdamaging
and perilous conditions. In addition, migrants are exposed to extreme
exploitation and manipulation and, in many instances they are victims of
trafficking for labour and/ or sexual exploitation. As a result, migrants are socially,
economically, politically and culturally marginalised and ghettoised, while they
suffer racist and discriminatory treatment in every field of life: employment,
housing, education, health and access to goods and services, in both the private
and the public sectors. Moreover, NGOs that actively support and speak for
migrants are also targets of racist violence and persecution by the police. At the
same time, the media and authority figures, such as politicians, members of the
police and public servants3, continue articulating provocatively racist or
discriminatory statements.
Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that civil society is neither
encouraged nor assisted by the government and, therefore, not developed to the
extent of constituting, as in other member states, a substantial and effective force
of resistance to the arbitrary policies and practices of the state. Nevertheless, a
number of NGOs continue to further intensify their struggle and contribution in
the fight against xenophobia, discrimination and racism. Moreover, E.U.
Directives, transposed in national law, are not yet effectively implemented. As a
result, migrants’ rights, continue to be violated. The government had not by the
end of 2007 adopted a comprehensive and integrated migration policy and had
not addressed at all the integration of migrants; nor had it adopted an action plan
to fight discrimination and racism in all aspects of life. It is more than evident that
racism and racist violence are a growing phenomenon in the Cypriot society, not
as yet addressed with the required seriousness and determination.
In order to address the situation meaningfully and resolutely in both parts of
Cyprus, the Report puts forward a comprehensive list of recommendations, the
major ones of which are as follows:
_ Concrete and targeted measures, through a horizontal action plan covering
all aspects and areas of discrimination and racism, including institutional
racism.
_ Mainstreaming of the right to equality in all public policies, particularly the
migration and asylum and social and employment policies.
_ The government in the south and the authorities in the north of Cyprus should
develop and put in place a comprehensive migration and integration policy
that would meet European and international standards for the respect of
human rights.
_ In the north of Cyprus, anti-discrimination legislation transposing the EU
Directives as well as international antidiscrimination legal standards should
be urgently put in place.
