WHAT I HAVE LEARN PART II
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Laddies and Gentlemen,

Adding to this note, In many ways, throughout every man’s life, there has been much wickedness. And today, I have seen that no matter where you are, where you look in this world around you, there is bloodshed, crime, hatred and immorality. In many cases, it is the innocent, decent people who suffer from these cause and wicked acts of others.

They may be victims of violence, brutal civil crisis, perhaps losing their homes, love ones or even their own lives.

They are all seperate cases in one man's journey and struggles still continue, BUT:

What i have learnt again in life are:

I HAVE LEARNED - that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I HAVE LEARNED - that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I HAVE LEARNED - that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I HAVE LEARNED - that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I HAVE LEARNED - that your family won't always be there for you. It may seem funny.

Welcome always,

Thomas

Integrating human rights standards into national legislation and Government programmes
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Dear Colleaques,




Despite the election of the country’s first democratic government in January 2006, Liberia is still recovering from 14 years of conflict. Although the security situation has stabilized in recent years, a combination of weak State institutions,weak law enforcement and a weak judiciary means that human rights are not promoted and protected. Reversing the climate of impunity and ensuring justice for all are the objectives guiding the Human Rights and Protection Section of UNMIL.

The Section has built constructive working relationships with ministries and UN agencies. A peace, human rights and civic education programme was jointly designed by the Ministry of Education, UN agencies and the Section, and launched in schools nationwide. Human rights clubs have also been established in schools in every county.

The Human Rights and Protection Section has also supported the State in developing laws and policies, including the enabling legislation for both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Independent National Human Rights Commission. The UNMIL Task Force on the Rights of Children in Conflict with the Law issued a report for study and follow-up action by the Government. Guidelines on minimum standards for operating welfare institutions in Liberia, including orphanages,were endorsed by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare as a result of the Section’s report on orphanages.

In 2008 and 2009 the Section will carry out initiatives aimed at integrating human rights standards into national legislation and Government programmes. Information collected through monitoring activities will direct the development of capacity-building and protection strategies. Providing assistance and support to national mechanisms should lead to an operational and functional Independent National Commission on Human Rights and the formulation and implementation of a national human rights action plan that will include reporting to UN treaty bodies and a strengthened judiciary.

Providing technical assistance to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in fulfilling its mandate by September 2008 and in issuing its final report, with recommendations, will be a key priority. The Section also plans to strengthen its engagement with Liberia’s civil society by conducting capacity-building activities.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED IN LIFE>>>!
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Dear readers

There are many things we all can discover in life, just to list few of mine....more to come:

IN LIFE.......

I HAVE LEARNED - that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I HAVE LEARNED - that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I HAVE LEARNED - that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I HAVE LEARNED - that you can keep going long after you can't. I HAVE LEARNED- that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I HAVE LEARNED - that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I HAVE LEARNED - that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

I HAVE LEARNED – that, heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I HAVE LEARNED - that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I HAVE LEARNED - that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I HAVE LEARNED - that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.
