U.N. chief criticized for being
soft on human rights issues
Ban Ki-moon's
office insists human
rights have not
been ignored
UNITED NATIONS (AP) -
Human Rights Watch singled out
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-
moon for especially harsh criti-
cism yesterday as it took world
leaders to task for what it called
their failure to be tougher on
rights offenders.
Ban's office rejected the criti-
cism, insisting that the U.N. chief
employs both quiet diplomacy
and public condemnation with
abusive governments after deter-
mining which method will prove
most effective in each case.
Human Rights Watch's execu-
tive director Kenneth Roth also
lambasted the European Union;
the E.U.'s first high representa-
tive for foreign affairs and secu-
rity policy, Catherine Ashton;
President Obama, British Prime
Minister David Cameron, Ger-
man Chancellor Angela Merkel,
and French President Nicolas
Sarkozy.
"The use of dialogue and
cooperation in lieu of public
pressure has emerged with a
vengeance at the U.N., from
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
to many members of the Human
Rights Council," Roth wrote in
the introduction of the group's
annual report.
Ban "has been notably reluc-
tant to put pressure on abusive
governments," Roth wrote.
"To deserve a second term he
will need to be more outspoken
and consistent," Philippe Bolo-
pion, U.N. advocacy director for
Human Rights Watch said yes-
terday, referring to Ban's likely
bid for a second four-year term
later this year. Candidates for
U.N. chief are nominated by the
powerful 15-member Security
Council and must be approved by
the 192-member General Assem-
bly of member states.
In the report, Roth cited in
particular Ban's failure to pub-
licly raise China's rights records
or its imprisoned Nobel peace
laureate, literary critic Liu Xiao-
bo, in a meeting with President
Hu Jintao late last year.
At the time, Ban defended
his handling of a meeting with
Hu during an Asia trip, and told
reporters upon his return that he
spoke about human rights every-
where - including China.

Suicide bomber strikes
Moscow's busiest airport
Mexico reportedly allowed U.S.
to question detained migrants
WikiLeaks cables
reveal information
about anti-terror
security efforts
MEXICO CITY (AP) - Newly
released diplomatic cables indi-
cate Mexico let U.S. agents ques-
tion undocumented migrants
held in Mexican detention cen-
ters as part of anti-terror efforts,
despite the country's traditional
sensitivity about national sover-
eignty.
The latest round of WikiLeaks
cables released over the week-
end paint a picture of a nation
extremely eager for U.S. aid in
security matters, in the face of
its own disorganized intelligence
sector and threats from drug car-
tels.
Thosethreatsincluded areport
that a crime gang plotted to bring
down President Felipe Calderon's
airplane with a grenade launcher,
though no such attack ever took
place.
A May2008 cable fromthe U.S.
Embassy in Mexico expressed
concern about Mexico beingused
as a "potential transit point for
terrorists intending to launch
attacks against the U.S."
"On a positive note," the cable
noted that Mexico's domestic
intelligence agency "has allowed
U.S. government officers to inter-
view foreign nationals detained
at Mexican immigration deten-
tion centers dispersed around the
country for potential CT (coun-
terterrorism) information."
Most people held at Mexi-
can immigration facilities are
undocumented Central American
migrants, butthe Americans were
apparently worried that terror-
ists from other continents might
be using established human
smuggling routes and networks.
A February 2010 cable said
Calderon "is also concerned that
organized criminal groups may
try to establish contacts with ter-
rorists." It said Homeland Secu-
rity Secretary Janet Napolitano
responded that "although we
have not seen evidence to this
effect, the potential is there."
U.S. and Mexican officials have
refused to comment on the specif-
ics of leaked communications. In
December, Mexico's federal secu-
rity spokesman Alejandro Poire
said "the contents of the cables,
in many cases, reflect personal
points of view, are inexact, or
taken out of context."
Other cables display a grim
assessment of Mexico's ability
to fight drug cartels, saying the
country has limited intelligence-
gathering capacity and quoting
Calderon as saying politicians
could be tempted to return to
a tacit policy of tolerating the
gangs.
At least 35 dead,
180 wounded after
terrorist attack
MOSCOW (AP) - Terror-
ists struck again in the heart of
Russia, with a suicide bomber
blowing himself up yesterday
in Moscow's busiest airport
and turning its international
arrivals terminal into a smoky,
blood-spattered hall of dis-
membered bodies, screaming
survivors and abandoned suit-
cases. At least 35 people were
killed, including two British
travelers.
No one claimed responsibil-
ity for the blast at Domodedovo
Airport that also wounded 180
people, although Islamic mili-
tants in the southern Russian
region of Chechnya have been
blamed for previous attacks in
Moscow, including a double sui-
cide bombing on the capital's
subway system in March 2010
that resulted in 40 deaths.
President Dmitry Medvedev
called it a terrorist attack and
immediately tightened security
at Moscow's two other com-
mercial airports and other key
transportation facilities.
It was the second time in
seven years that Domodedo-
vo was involved in a terrorist
attack: In 2004, two female
suicide bombers penetrated
the lax security there, illegally
bought tickets from airport per-
sonnel and boarded planes that
exploded in flight and killed 90
people.
Medvedev canceled plans
to travel Tuesday to the World
Economic Forum in Davos,
Switzerlandwhere he aimed to
promote Russia as a profitable
investment haven to world busi-
ness leaders.
Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin ordered the health minis-
ter to send her deputies to hos-
pitals to make sure the injured
were getting the medical care
they needed.
Russians still look to the
tough-talking Putin as the lead-
er they trust to guarantee their
security, and yesterday's attack
was likely to strengthen the
position of the security forces
that form part of his base.
Large-scale battles in Chech-
nya ended years ago, following
two devastating wars that Rus-
sia waged with the republic's
separatists, but Islamic mili-
tants have continued to carry
out suicide bombings and other
attacks.
Most have been in Chechnya
and other predominantly Mus-
lim provinces in the southern
Caucasus region, but some have
targeted Moscow, including its
subways, trains and even a the-
ater.
In Washington, President
Barack Obama condemned the
"outrageous act of terrorism"
and offered any assistance.
Those comments were
echoed by British Prime Minis-
ter David Cameron, who spoke
with Medvedev and assured
him of his complete support.
Monday's attack was most
likely carried out by a sui-
cide bomber and "attempts
were being made to identify
him," Investigative Committee
spokesman Vladimir Markin
said, adding that the attacker
appeared to have been wearing
the explosives on a belt.
The blast came at 4:32 p.m.,
when hundreds of passengers
and workers were in a loosely
guarded part of the terminal.
They were sprayed with shrap-
nel of screws and ball bearings,
intended to cause as many casu-
alties as possible.
The terminal filled with thick
smoke as witnesses described a
scene of horror.
"There was lots of blood, sev-
ered legs flying around," said
Yelena Zatserkovnaya, a Luf-
thansa official.
