Amnesty urges world to take more responsibility for refugees

AP, Jun 15, 2015

LONDON (AP)--Amnesty International is urging world leaders to radically overhaul refugee policies and create a comprehensive global strategy to deal with the crisis.

The human rights watchdog issued a report Monday suggesting that world leaders have abandoned millions of refugees to “an unbearable existence” and left thousands more to die by failing to provide basic human protections.

The report estimates that 4 million people have fled Syria, with most eking out a meagre existence in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt. Amnesty says these countries are struggling to cope with the influx.

Salil Shetty, the group’s secretary-general, described the refugee crisis as one of the defining challenges of the 21st century, “but the response of the international community has been a shameful failure.”

Shetty is urging states to share responsibility internationally.

Amnesty International on Tuesday condemned what it said was the Kenyan government's continued failure to properly investigate and deliver justice and compensation to victims of the 2007-2008 post-election violence. "Six years after post-election violence rocked Kenya, the victims are still awaiting justice. It is vital that their voices are heard and urgent action is taken," said Amnesty secretary general Salil Shetty. Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, his deputy William Ruto and radio boss Joshua Arap Sang are facing crimes against humanity charges at The Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC), although no alleged ringleaders have been pursued in Kenya.

Employers in Qatar have displayed an appalling disregard for the basic human rights of migrant workers. It is inexcusable in the richest country in the world that so many workers are being ruthlessly exploited, deprived of their pay and left struggling to survive.
