• Protecting and Promoting Rights in Natural Disasters in South Asia

  Wed, 01 Jul 2009 00:00:00 GMT

  
  South Asia is a "theater for disaster." In the past decade alone floods, cyclones, earthquakes, droughts, and a devastating tsunami destroyed hundreds of thousands of lives and livelihoods and left millions more homeless. In each disaster, humanitarian responders rushed to the scene to preserve human life and reduce immediate suffering. However, many times, human rights protection has been a secondary concern. This new report, based on a regional meeting in Chennai, India, discusses the challenges in incorporating human rights into disaster response in South Asia.

• The Limits of U.S. Diplomacy in Kashmir

  Thu, 15 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT

  
  The Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan has once again received international attention following November’s terrorist attacks in Mumbai, and there are reports that the Obama administration plans to appoint a special envoy for the region. However, as Dhruva Jaishankar and Anit Mukherjee explain, renewed U.S. engagement on Kashmir—especially if it were led by a high-profile envoy—is likely to prove counterproductive, a setback for U.S. foreign policy, for the India-Pakistan peace process and, ironically, for Kashmir itself.

  Bilal Saab writes that discovering who planned and executed the Mumbai attacks is critical to any effective future counterterrorism strategy.  He believes if subsequent investigations show that al Qaeda played no role, it signals the beginning of a dangerous new era in which multiple terrorist groups possess the operational capacity to mount large-scale, catastrophic attacks—previously thought to be the domain of al Qaeda alone.
