UN Human Rights Commissioner Navi Pillay: "A more holistic approach is needed" UN Human Rights Commissioner Navi Pillay has sharply criticised the government of Sri Lanka, at the end of a week-long visit. In a statement, Ms Pillay said she feared the country was becoming increasingly authoritarian. Since the civil war ended four years ago, democracy had been undermined and the rule of law eroded, she added. Ms Pillay is the most senior UN official to visit the north since Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in 2009. She arrived in Sri Lanka last Sunday for a fact-finding mission after the government promised her access to former war zones. She told reporters then that her job was to ensure that the government was conforming to human rights standards agreed by all nations. The BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva says the statement issued by Ms Pillay's office is astonishingly blunt, and parts of it will not go down well with the Sri Lankan government, which had not been especially keen on her visit in the first place.

By Robin Westen No one knows exactly how many people have Multiple Sclerosis (MS), but experts think there are currently 250,000 to 350,000 people in the United States diagnosed with the disease. This means every week approximately 200 people learn they have it, and studies show that the rate of the disease has been steadily increasing. If youre diagnosed with MS, here are the first steps to take: Know the facts: There are lots of myths around MS and sometimes misconceptions can be scarier than the facts. MS is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. Its caused when the immune system attacks the myelin, the protective insulation covering nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. Myelin is destroyed and replaced by scars of hardened tissue (lesions), and some underlying nerves are damaged. But MS is almost never fatal; many people diagnosed with the disease never need a wheelchair. Be sure of your diagnosis: Since MS isnt easy to diagnose, getting a definite diagnosis takes time. Various tests may be used. Besides a neurological exam, you might also have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), evoked potentials (EP), and spinal fluid analysis (spinal tap). Understand the symptoms: No … Continue reading →

The Ombudsman for Children Emily Logan who has told the HSE to provide travel and subsistence to the family in accordance with a written agreement dating from 2009. Photograph: Eric Luke/The Irish Times The Ombudsman for Children has ordered the Health Service Executive to honour a funding agreement with the parents of a seven-year-old boy for limb-lengthening treatment in the US. Ombudsman Emily Logan has told the HSE to provide travel and subsistence to the family in accordance with a written agreement dating from 2009, or to provide alternative arrangements which are no less advantageous to the boys medical treatment and clinical outcome. The HSE had argued that the familys expenses were not covered by the Treatment Abroad Scheme because this only related to other EU states and did not cover medical treatment in the US. It had also argued that the approval of the original agreement was an unauthorised administrative error which it must be allowed to correct. Ms Logan has also directed that any future treatments the boy may need should be considered by the HSE in the context of the established arrangements in place. The HSE has undertaken to implement the ombudsmans findings, though a dispute over … Continue reading →
