4 THEMES FOR THE 5th HUMAN RIGHTS HUMAN WRONGS DOCumentary FILM FESTIVAL festival GUESTS GJESTER human rights human wrongs themes 6 Outcasts De utstøtte Millions of people in the world are considered outcasts only because we see them as different than ourselves. Dalits (untouchables), Roma people, sexual minorities and unwanted refugees are only some of these. Why do we maintain mechanisms and structures that reproduce mentalities which enable us to dehumanize others, making them outcasts? Romfolket forfølges i Europa og her hjemme får ikke mindreårige asylsøkere de rettighetene de har krav på. Millioner av mennesker anses som daliter urørbare - i land som India og Bangladesh. Dette handler ikke bare om daliter, romfolk, seksuelle minoriteter eller asylsøkere, men om utstøtelse, dehumanisering og stigmatisering. Hvordan kan vi skape et samfunn som inkluderer alle? Payback / Economic injustice Økonomisk urettferdighet What is the relation between debt and human rights? Who is in debt to whom in the globalized economy? We want to focus on the Human Rights Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and look at two subtopics: climate and debt. Hva er sammenhengene mellom gjeld og menneskerettigheter? Hvem står i gjeld til hvem i den globaliserte økonomien? Sivile og politiske rettigheter får langt større oppmerksomhet i debatter om menneskerettigheter enn konvensjonen om økonomiske, sosiale og kulturelle rettigheter. Vi har valgt å fokusere på to undertemaer til denne konvensjonen: klima og gjeld. Begge temaer skaper store debatter i internasjonale forhandlingsprosesser. Hva betyr det at utviklingsland skylder penger til industrialiserte land, og hva innebærer det at industrialiserte land skylder utviklingsland å betale klimaregningen? Protest Movements Protestbevegelser The Arab Spring gave a new legitimacy to protest movements and a belief that they could actually create political change. We look at protests that more often than not take place outside the media spotlight. What characterizes protest movements in Angola, Tibet, Belarus and Russia? Den arabiske våren ga en ny legitimitet til folkelige protestbevegelser, og troen på at de faktisk kunne skape regimeendring. Vi ser på protestene som finner sted utenfor medienes søkelys. Hva kjennetegner protestbevegelsene sør for Sahara, Tibet, Hviterussland og Russland? Hvordan kan det internasjonale samfunnet være med å støtte opp om protestbevegelser som kjemper for demokratiske endringer? Freedom of Expression Ytringsfrihet In China people are protesting against the censorship and looking for new ways to share information. Russia is one of the most dangerous countries for journalists and human rights activists to work in, especially in the Northern Caucasus region, but still people are risking their lives to tell the truth. Ytringsfriheten i Kina er begrenset og straffen for å bryte sensuren kan være streng. Likevel er det mennesker som risikerer friheten for å kunne dele informasjon. Russland er et av landene det er farligst å jobbe i for journalister og menneskerettighetsforkjempere, spesielt i Nord Kaukasus. Frittalende journalister og menneskerettighetsaktivister risikerer livet. Gerald Sentongo has been working with Human Rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans persons in Uganda for several years.
