Human Rights for Katrina Victims…
Human Rights Day , which was December 10, is an appropriate time to review a serious human rights crisis here in the United States: The fate of people from the Gulf Coast—particularly from New Orleans—displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
Our nation’s greatest natural disaster—and the man-made crisis that followed—were on an unprecedented scale. More than were uprooted from their communities after the storm, and over 300,000 from New Orleans alone are still displaced over one year after the levees broke.
[…]This idea is supported by the U.N.’s , the internationally approved framework to protect human rights before, during and after being displaced by a humanitarian disaster.
Be sure to read the rest, it is a superb read.
