"The report rightly condemns the human rights situation in many countries. However, it is unfortunate that the Maghreb countries as well as Israel are strangely absent. Indeed, 2002 marked a worrying, repressive turning point in those countries, particularly with regard to freedom of expression: detention of and judicial proceedings against leaders of the Kabylie citizens’ movement in Algeria and now attacks on the freedom of the press; imprisonment of an Internet journalist in Tunisia; censorship and the charging of journalist Ali Lmrabet in Morocco; and attacks carried out by the Moroccan authorities in Western Sahara. In the West Bank, the building of the wall of shame represents serious infringement of the Palestinian people’s right to move freely and right to land; it poses a threat to human rights and to peace.
Finally, in many countries, the supposed fight against terrorism provides an excuse for security and repressive measures. This must be resisted. Moreover, it is up to us to ensure that the calling into question of international law, which has been dangerously trivialised by the American authorities, does not lead to a world where economic and political interests always take priority over the rights of individuals and peoples."@en1
