The United Nations, Human Rights and Africa: Whither Universalism?
While the United Nations (U.N.) has been busy congratulating itself for success in creating a panoply of documents purporting to protect the universal nature of human rights, millions of vulnerable civilians in Africa the U.N. promised to protect have died needlessly in wars the U.N. promised to prevent.
Cain served as a human rights officer in UN peacekeeping operations in Cambodia, Somalia, Rwanda, Haiti and Liberia, and as a journalist has reported from Israel, Iraq, and Banda Aceh, Indonesia. He is currently writing a series of pieces entitled "The War Comes Home." Cain was a Fulbright Scholar in Sri Lanka, a Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York and is an honors graduate of Harvard Law School.

Celebrate the Lunar New Year with us! The Year of the Golden Pig Several Asian cultures celebrate Lunar New Year. The animals of the Asian lunar calendar cycle every twelve years, but this year... The Year of the Golden Pig (or Boar) only occurs every 600 years -- an especially fortuitous time. People born in the year of the Boar are honest and gentle crusaders for the underdog; sincere, tolerant, intelligent, and socially aware; cooperate well with others and care about the good of the group. Make lanterns and paper cranes, enjoy some Asian foods, collect your good luck red envelope, play games, and learn how we celebrate the Lunar New Year!
