The past few years have been busy ones for human-rights organisations. In prosecuting the so-called war on terror, many governments in Western countries where freedoms seemed secure have tempted to nibble away at them. Just as well, you might suppose, that doughty campaigners such as Amnesty International exist to leap to their defence. Yet Amnesty no longer makes the splash it used to in the rich world. This is not for want of speaking out. The organisation is as vocal as it ever was. But some years ago it decided to follow intellectual fashion and dilute its traditional focus on political rights by mixing in a new category of what people now call social and economic rights. | Translation - Greek
Τα τελευταία χρόνια οι οργανώσεις που μάχονται για τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα είχαν πολλή δουλειά. Εμμένοντας στον επονομαζόμενο πόλεμο κατά της τρομοκρατίας, πολλές κυβερνήσεις στις Δυτικές χώρες όπου οι ατομικές ελευθερίες φαίνονταν ασφαλείς δοκίμασαν βαθμιαία να τις αποδυναμώσουν. Ευτυχώς, θα μπορούσε να υποθέσει κανείς, που αυτοί οι οποίοι αγωνίζονται με θάρρος, όπως η Διεθνής Αμνηστία, υπάρχουν για να ενεργήσουν γρήγορα για την προάσπιση αυτών των ελευθεριών. Η Διεθνής Αμνηστία, όμως, δεν κάνει πλέον την αίσθηση που έκανε στις εύπορες χώρες του κόσμου. Αυτό δε συμβαίνει επειδή υπάρχει έλλειψη μαχητικότητας. Η οργάνωση εκφράζεται πιο έντονα από ποτέ. Όμως πριν από μερικά χρόνια αποφάσισε να ακολουθήσει τη μόδα της διανόησης και να μειώσει το ενδιαφέρον που παραδοσιακά έδειχνε για τα πολιτικά δικαιώματα εμπλέκοντας μία νέα κατηγορία αυτού που τώρα οι άνθρωποι αποκαλούν πολιτικά δικαιώματα. |
