A call for the Restoration of the Supreme Court and the Rule of Law in Pakistan
An advocacy day on the Hill, Dec 5th, 2007
Pakistan is on the front line on the war on terror. A strong and stable Pakistan is in the best interests of the international community. Protection of the Rule of Law and independence of the judiciary is critical for the internal stability of Pakistan.
The events in Pakistan from the beginning of 2007 have undermined the Supreme Court, the independence of the judiciary, the press, and all other institutions that are hallmarks of a society based upon a competent legal structure. Media coverage of lawyers being beaten, imprisoned, and detained has provoked a global reaction from the international community.
It is of utmost importance that the United States conveys to the Government in Pakistan that the Rule of Law by the Restoration of the Supreme Court of Pakistan is integral and in the best interests of all parties.
Several Members of Congress have authored resolutions highlighting this issue. These are:
S. RES.372: Senator John Kerry (D-MA) and Joe Biden(D-DE)
H.RES 810: Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX)
H.Res.823: Congressman Ackerman (D-NY) & Congressman Delahunt (D-MA)
Senator Obama's statement on the Emergency in Pakistan
Senator Clinton's statement on the Emergency in Pakistan
Congresswoman Nita Lowey (NY) has issued a statement warning Musharraf
Trent Franks (R-AZ) has spoken on the issue of human rights violations in Pakistan

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
