WELCOME
CONTENTS
Welcome to the 6th edition of the Human
Rights Human Wrongs Documentary Film
Festival in Oslo, Norway!
3
We’ve been working hard to find the best current documentary films about human rights
issues and to put together inspiring debates
and cultural events. We hope you’ll find the
festival’s offerings engaging and memorable.
It’s easy to feel powerless when faced with
the great injustices in the world. Understanding enough to have an opinion is the first step
out of this frustration.
We strongly believe that independent documentary film is an absolutely necessary
source of information. Join us; we’ll go
beyond the news headlines, see different perspectives and form new understandings. THIS
is what you’ll be talking about tomorrow.
We have 18 great films and more than 50
international and Norwegian guests: filmmakers, activists and experts.
All of the films will be screened at the newly
renovated Victoria Kino, with accompanying
debates and introductions. At Parkteatret
you can meet the festival guests, partake in
debates, and see performances and concerts
that link to the films’ themes. Side events
will take place at a number of other venues
in Oslo.
We hope you enjoy the festival and come away
from it with new perspectives on the state of
affairs in the world today. See you there!

OPENING NIGHT
TUES, FEB 4TH - 20:00 VICTORIA KINO
DANGEROUS ACTS
STARRING THE UNSTABLE ELEMENTS OF BELARUS
Join us for the opening film at Victoria Kino! Andrei Sannikov and
Natalya Radina are the evening’s guests of honor. In addition to
the screening, there will be music, speeches, and a celebration
with our organizing partners.
The film Dangerous Acts about Belarus Free Theatre is essentially about how an underground theater is able to fight back on
the grave human rights challenges in Belarus: the mass arrests,
the lack of freedom of expression, the humiliation and stifling of
cultural expressions and the brutality of the regime.
The New York Times has described Belarus Free Theatre as one
of the most powerful underground theaters on the planet. The
acclaimed British playwright Tom Stoppard emphasizes their high
artistic standard – Belarus Free Theatre presents its message by
being as artistically interesting as possible. The theater has also
been dubbed the world’s bravest theater.
Belarusian freedom fighters must be brave because they run a
great risk by demanding democracy in Europe’s last dictatorship.
Two of the most prominent figures of the fight for freedom in
Belarus, the opposition leader Andrei Sannikov and the award-winning editor and journalist Natalya Radina have experienced this
firsthand. During a demonstration in Minsk on December 19th,
2010, both were brutally arrested and imprisoned. While Radina
was released after a short time, but forced into internal exile, Sannikov was severely beaten and sentenced to five years in prison. His
wife Irina Khalip was put under house arrest, and the government
threatened to take away their little son, Danik. After huge international pressure, Andrei Sannikov was released in April 2012. He and
Radina have chosen, as they say, to temporarily leave Belarus in
order to continue the fight for democracy, dignity, and survival.
Their story is Belarus Free Theatre’s lived drama. Meet them
during the opening night event.

Nightwind is a 30-minute performance based on
Hector Aristizábal’s story of arrest and torture by
the US-supported military in Colombia. After his
release, he witnessed the killings of many friends
and was forced into exile in the United States.
When his brother was abducted and killed by the paramilitary
groups in Colombia, his own rage and desire for violent revenge
was awakened: what he calls “the terrorist within.” Inspired by
his young children, he finds ways to transform these destructive
energies into constructive action using theater as healing.

around the world. The Arab Spring (and winter), Indignados, Occupy, large demonstrations in many countries against government
corruption, undemocratic practices and wars. The list is long.
It seems there is a growing discontent and disillusion with the
established systems. But what is activism actually? Why do people
become activists? And what can activism achieve?

Statebuilding refers to activities undertaken to help a society
recovering from conflict to create new government institutions
and strengthen existing ones. Since the late 1990s, the international community has embraced statebuilding as part of its
peacebuilding efforts, and statebuilding tasks are now regularly
part of UN peace operations. In some cases, like Kosovo, South
Sudan or Timor Leste a conflict may have resulted in the need
to help establish a new state. In others, statebuilding may help
a country with fragile state institutions, like Yemen or Guinea
Bissau, from lapsing into violent conflict, but in most cases, like
Burundi, Liberia and Nepal, statebuilding is about re-establishing state institution after a conflict.
Statebuilding involves engaging with state institutions such
as parliament, the judiciary, a central bank, an independent
electoral commission, and the executive branch of government.
As insecurity and stability typically are major concerns in a society
recovering from conflict, reforming the security sector is usually
a priority, including the armed forces, the police and the intelligence services. Statebuilding is, however, not just about these formal state institutions. It is also about state-society relations and
support for the civil society. Conflicts often result in people being
mobilized around ethnic or religious identities, and statebuilding
usually requires reconciliation among groups that may have been
in conflict with each other.
Statebuilding efforts to date has had mixed results. Some
countries like Cambodia, Namibia and Nicaragua seem to have
recovered from conflict, but many others have relapsed. Critics
argue that statebuilding is premised on an idea of statehood that
is rooted in the Western state formation experience. They argue
that for statebuilding to be self-sustainable it must be locally
owned and led, so that it can generate institutions that address
the specific needs of the country concerned.
The overall aim of statebuilding is to help establish a
self-sustainable functioning state, but as this is a project that
often requires generations to achieve, the interim aim is to
reduce the risk of lapsing into violent conflict. The focus is thus
on those aspects of societal dynamics that, left unaddressed, are
most likely to result in a lapse into violent conflict. These typically involve youth unemployment, social grievances such as land
occupation, judicial issues such as the lack of prosecution of past
crimes and atrocities, and unfulfilled past agreements, such as
reintegrating former combatants.
IN FOCUS
MIDNIGHT IN MEXICO - THE DRUG WARS
Production and trafficking of marijuana and heroin is an old phenomenon in Mexico, but in recent years, drug-related violence has
increased excessively. Since 2006, over 100,000 have been killed
and 25,000 have disappeared, most of it as a result of organized
crime.
Among the reasons is that the drug cartels obtained an
important new source of income in the 1990s, when they gained
control of the cocaine routes from South America to the United
States. Another contributing factor is that the authorities started
a major military offensive against the cartels in 2006, with support
from the United States. It helped break up the old criminal power
constellations and alliances between criminals and government,
and resulted in the battles for territory and drug routes being
carried out with increasingly more powerful weapons.
Most of the weapons used in this war are smuggled from the
United States to Mexico – the opposite route of the drugs – due to
the liberal US gun legislation. From having been traditional mafia
organizations, many of the cartels developed into transnational
«franchise» businesses that include loosely coupled and extremely violent groups. At the same time, the violence has spread from
the border areas to states all over Mexico.
The income sources include not only drug trafficking, but also
human trafficking, blackmail and kidnapping. The cartels also
invest in restaurants, casinos, hotels and other legal activities,
so that an increasing number of people become involved in the
criminal economy.
In connection with this, a culture has emerged where violence is glorified and drug lords (capos) are worshipped as heroes,
including in the so-called narcocorridos («drug ballads»), which
some times also can be critical to government corruption and
neglect.

Velkommen til festivalutstilling på -kunstplass 5! Festivalutstillingen er et samarbeid mellom -kunstplass 5 og dokumentarfilmfestivalen Human Rights Human Wrongs 2014.
Kunstnerne som stiller ut har alle personlige erfaringer fra krig,
konflikt, flukt og brudd på menneskerettighetene. Arbeidene som
vises gir et bilde på enkeltmenneskers maktesløshet i en krigssituasjon, men har samtidig universell relevans. Gjennom kunstneriske og estetiske virkemidler formidler de sterke historier både
inne på -kunstplass 5 og ute på Olaf Ryes Plass. Gjennom kunst
håper vi at du som publikum får en annerledes og kroppslig opplevelse av universelle human rights og human wrongs. Vi håper
at du blir berørt, stopper opp og at kunsten skaper en reaksjon.

- INSTALLASJONER, FOTO OG VIDEO
”Wounds” er et stedsspesifikt og relasjonelt kunstprosjekt fra
Beirut som består av installasjon, foto og video.
Jeg har siden 2010 reparert krigens sår i Beiruts bybilde ved bruk
av billedvev. Libanons hovedstad er sterkt preget av langvarig krig
og politiske uroligheter. Bombede bygninger med utallige kulehull
har i flere tiår stått igjen som monumenter over krigens herjinger. I
”Wounds” går jeg direkte inn i den fysiske og psykiske smerten, og
plastrer bygningene som om de var menneskekropper. Vevnadene er
tilpasset bygningenes sår og glir nesten usynlig inn i bybildet.

BOOK TALK - MIDNIGHT IN MEXICO:
A REPORTER’S JOURNEY
Alfredo Corchado combines a thorough knowledge of Mexico’s
politics and history with his own experiences. They reach from
his childhood in rural Mexico, to being an immigrant and son of a
Mexican agricultural worker (bracero) in the United States, and to
life among international reporters in Mexico City.
In a unique way he describes the atrocities of the drug war both
from an analytical, journalistic standpoint and based on his own
and his family’s experiences of attempts to be incorporated into
the drug-economy and received death threats from the cartels.
Alfredo Corchado will introduce both screenings of Narco Cultura,

In the USA, private investment in social change documentaries
is far more common than in Norway, where such projects have
largely been based on public financing. With a new political climate in Norway, it looks as if this situation is about to change.
Are there different rules to the game when private money is
involved? What should the relationship between filmmaker and investor be? How can documentary filmmakers keep their integrity?
What can we learn from American experiences?
Dan Cogan, founder Impact Partners, has been
involved in financing The
Cove, Detropia, Big Men,
The Garden, The Ghosts
of Abu Ghraib, No Impact Man, and
The World Before Her.
Rachel Boynton is the

The prohibition against torture is absolute and the obligation to
prevent torture, to investigate, punish the responsible and provide
redress for persons subjected to torture is stated in the UN convention against torture, ratified by 154 states.
There is no justification for torture. War, threat of terror or conflict
cannot be invoked as reasons for torture. However, in the socalled war against terror, there is ample evidence that torture
has been applied in interrogation of terror-suspects. Secret
renditions and detention without basic legal safeguards have been
part of this. The role played by CIA in these violations has been
highlighted, but torture is practiced also by other states under
the umbrella of fighting terrorism, or as part of ongoing conflict.
Torture must be combated wherever it occurs. The fact that health
personnel is involved in these destructive and prohibited acts,
calls for strong action.
Despite the absolute prohibition, torture is practiced and survivors
of torture are found everywhere. 15 – 20 % of refugees arriving in
Norway may have been exposed to torture, and torture may be
done in ways that leave no visible scars. It is important to identify
vulnerable asylum seekers, including torture victims, to provide
them with care as well as protection.
Torture is systematic destruction. It is severe pain inflicted where
the person is unable to defend him/herself, under total control of
another, and the powerlessness of the feeling that life collapses.
The mind is confused and the body destroyed through pain and extreme conditions. Fear, helplessness and shame are induced together with extreme humiliation, in particular sexual and cultural
humiliation. Torture is severe attack on dignity and the person
may later feel unable to relate to others, with feelings of unworthiness, shame, deep mistrust and anxiety. Nightmares, intrusive
memories, flashbacks, avoidance, fear and constant alertness are
part of this.
The strengthening of the international focus on the right to
reparation and rehabilitation for victims of torture represents an
important challenge to health professionals, particularly to those
in the field of trauma research and treatment. The fulfillment of
this right is a complex endeavor which raises many questions.

The road to justice and reparation for those whose rights have
been brutally violated is often long and the active presence of
trauma-informed health professionals in this process is needed.
States must be aware of their obligations to provide and ensure
redress and rehabilitation to victims of torture and enable them to
obtain this and hope for a future.
OL I SOTSJI: TAUSHET ER IKKE GULL
Baksiden av av årets OL-medaljer er grumset til av menneskerettighetsbrudd. På få år har situasjonen i Russland gått fra vondt
til verre.
Putins tredje presidentperiode er kjennetegnet av en stadig
økende heksejakt på ytrings- og organisasjonsfriheten. Journalister, advokater og menneskerettighetsaktivister blir utsatt for
systematisk trakassering og forfølgelse. Vedtak av nye lover og
endringer i eksisterende lovverk har ført til sterke begrensninger
på muligheten til å motta og dele informasjon. Antipropagandaloven fyrer oppunder et allerede homofobisk klima, hvor lesbiske,
homofile, bifile og transpersoner i økende grad blir utsatt for
hatkriminalitet.
Det blir stadig vanskeligere å rette et kritisk søkelys på myndighetenes overgrep og maktmisbruk.

Dette er grunnen til at Amnesty er svært bekymret for menneskerettighetssituasjonen i Russland. Dette er bakteppet for De XXII
olympiske vinterleker.
Nå er hele verdens blikk rettet mot Russland. Da må vi bruke
sjansen til å fortelle om baksiden av medaljen. Argumentet om at
de olympiske leker ikke har noe med politikk å gjøre holder ikke
mål. OL i Sotsji er i høyeste grad en del av Putins propagandaprosjekt.
Taushet er ikke gull. Amnesty oppfordrer alle til å bruke sin
stemme til å forsvare rettighetene til dem som blir forsøkt truet
til å tie.

Four men have survived torture, managed to
flee their countries, and have come to Finland to seek asylum. But life isn’t easy when
they’re faced with an illogical asylum system
while struggling with the horror they have
been through. This film questions whether
immigration systems in European countries
have forgotten about humanity.
Fire menn har overlevd tortur og har flyktet fra sine respektive hjemland. De har kommet til Finland for å søke
asyl men livet er ikke så enkelt når alt de kjenner fra før
er borte og de må streve både med sine egne traumer
og med et system som er vanskelig å manøvrere og
å forstå. Denne filmen viser både menneskene bak
asylsøknadene og stiller spørsmål om hvorvidt Europas
flyktningepolitikk har kastet menneskeligheten på båten.

Ana Ana is a cinematic poem about four young
Egyptian women, set in an Egypt where dreams
of the revolution have begun to unravel, and
women’s rights are tremendously vulnerable.
Most of the material is filmed by the characters themselves, who worked with the film’s
directors over the course of two years. They find
ways to express their dreams and desires in an
extraordinarily open and intimate way, using
metaphors and cinematic storytelling to transform their everyday struggles into the sublime.
Their voices tell a story about universal desire
for creativity and freedom.
Ana Ana er en poetisk film om fire unge egyptiske
kvinner som forteller om sine liv og håp etter at revolusjonens første begeistring har gått over til bekymring for
framtiden.

“We have to stand up again on our feet – we are
now living on our knees” -Juliano Mer-Khamis,
the founder of Freedom Theatre in Jenin,
Palestine.
The occupation of Palestine is not just an occupation of land; it’s an occupation of culture and
identity. Juliano Mer-Khamis was assassinated
in 2011. This film is a tribute to him, and shows
us the power theater and art can have in giving
oppressed people agency, power, and meaning.
Denne filmen viser hvilken betydning teater og kunst har
for å styrke identitet og overlevelse hos et undertrykket folk. Juliano Mer-Khamis, grunnleggeren av Jenin
Freedom Theatre, ble drept i 2011. Filmen er en hyllest
til ham, laget av to av hans studenter sammen med en
tidligere kollega og venn.

An event with premiere screening of the film
“Banned Expressions in Tibet” (40 mins). The
event also contains a presentation by Dechen
Pemba and stage performance by Loten Namling. Tibet is closed to the outside world. Basic
human rights, like freedom of speech and
expression, are brutally supressed. Still Tibetans defy China’s repressive policies and fight
for their country, culture and identity. Tibetan
writers and artists fearlessly continue to challenge China’s policies. They are being censored,
arrested, tortured and imprisoned.
“Banned Expressions” er en film om mangelen på
kulturell ytringsfrihet i Tibet. Forfilm: Modern Enlightenment. Presentasjon av Dechen Pemba og musikalsk

Can Ghana escape the resource curse? With
unprecedented behind-the-scenes access, this
film follows as the first commercial oil field is
developed in Ghana. Whose interests are being
taken into consideration? Will foreign investors
run off with all of the profit, or can oil development help the country as a whole? As point of
comparison, we look at the Nigerian situation,
where it’s become evident that the riches oil
extraction has brought with it aren’t doing the
people any good.
En imponerende film som følger et amerikanske oljeselskaps vei inn i Ghana i håp om et oljeeventyr. Vi er med
helt på innsiden i denne prosessen. Det overskyggende
spørsmålet er: kan Ghana overvinne ressursforbannelsen eller vil de ende opp som nabolandet Nigeria?

How do you reshape your worldview when all
you’ve ever known is a North Korean death
camp? Shin Dong-Huyk escaped from the
labor camp he was born into when he was
23, crossing the border to South Korea. Now
he’s trying to make sense of the capitialist
world, and come to terms with the torture and
psychological indoctrination he’s been subject
to his whole life. Interspersed with poignant
animations and interviews with former labor
camp wardens, this film gives us unique insight
into the atrocities of one of the most closed
countries in the world.
Shin Dong-Hyuk ble født inn i en av de beryktede
arbeidsleirene i Nord-Korea. Som 23-åring klarte han å
rømme til Sør-Korea og må forstå hele verden på nytt.
Filmen gir unik innsikt i de umenneskelige forholdene
i de nord-koreanske dødsleirene og hvilke utfordringer
som nordkoreanaske flyktninger møter i verden utenfor.

A 19-year old girl in Chicago is deeply
involved in the protest movement in Syria,
keeping constant contact with her Syrian
friends through Facebook, Twitter, and
Skype. She helps organize demonstrations,
and sends camera equipment so her friends
can document what’s going on and share it
with the world. Slowly, the optimism of what
was hailed as a social media revolution gives
way to a violent reality no one was ready for.
En 19-årig jente i Chicago hjelper til med å organisere demonstrasjoner i Syria. Optimismen er stor
i begynnelsen og man tror at sosiale medier kan
overvinne diktaturet, men en brutalitet som ingen var
forberedt på tar raskt over.

Introduction to be confirmed
This film brings up how US Army and CIA
medical personell are intricately involved in the
implementation of torture on detainees held in
Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib prisons. Instead
of stopping it altogether, they give recommendations on how far torture can go. Yet all of
these doctors have sworn the Hippocratic oath.
What are doctors’ responsibilities, and how is it
possible that the medical profession is used in
this way?
The film is followed by a panel debate about
health personell and their involvement in torture. Hector Aristizabal will perform “Nightwind,” a play related to the themes of the film at
Parkteatret later this evening.
Denne filmen tar opp helsepersonells rolle i tortur. Leger
i den amerikanske hæren og i CIA er dypt involvert i
tortur mot fanger i den såkalte krigen mot terror.

Actions matter. Stop hoping. Make it happen!
We usually feel small when faced with the
undemocratic practices that are pushing our
societies in a direction that neglects the fact
that we’re all humans. But there are people all
around the world who aren’t just sitting back
and taking it. Indignados in Spain, Occupy Wall
Street in New York, FEMEN in Ukraine, The Yes
Men, Otpor! in Serbia and non-violent protest
movements in Syria and Iran show us what’s
worth fighting for and how to get results without bloodshed.
Over hele verden finnes det protestbevegelser som
med fredelige midler forsøker å gjøre verden til et
bedre sted. Hva har de alle til felles og hvordan kan vi
bedre vise solidaritet med hverandre?

Presented in collaboration with Fellesrådet for Afrika,
LLH and Uganda Association
Uganda has become the promised land
for many evangelical Christians. American
evangelical organizations are attempting to
eliminate “sexual sin” in Uganda, effectively
spreading hate and dehumanizing sexual
minorities in a country that is on the brink of
passing a devastating anti-gay law. Since the
film was released the law has been passed
in parliament.
Uganda har blitt “det lovede land” for mange evangeliske kristne og de samler derfor kreftene for å gjøre
landet rent for “seksuell synd”. I virkeligheten er de
med på å spre hat og oppfordre til alvorlig diskriminering i et land som er på vei til å lovfeste kriminalisering, og i verste fall livstidsstraff for homofile.

Thulasi was born a dalit, an untouchable, and
a girl, meaning her options in life in India are
grim. She is tough as a nail, though, and determined to get more out of life than what society
has in store for her. She leaves her family, and
finds her talent in boxing, putting in tireless
hours of training to win a place as one of the top
athletes in India. Thulasi has to fight both in and
out of the boxing ring, facing sexual harassment,
pressure of arranged marriage, and a society
that doesn’t value what she has to give.
Thulasi er født dalit, «kasteløs», og jente, dermed er
hennes muligheter i India få. Fast bestemt på å få mer ut
av livet enn hva samfunnet tilbyr henne, forlater hun familien, begynner å bokse og legger ned utallige treningstimer for å bli en av de beste utøverne i India. Thulasi må
kjempe både innenfor og utenfor bokseringen, stilt overfor seksuell trakassering, press om arrangert ekteskap
og et samfunn som ikke verdsetter det hun har å gi.

The violence connected to Mexican drug cartels is so massive and invasive, and the death
rate so high that it’s changing the cultural
fibre of society. The hugely popular music
form called narcocorridos, like gangster
rap in the USA, makes heroes of the mafia
leaders and glorifies violence.
Den mexicanske krigen mot narkokartellene har
gjort deler av Mexico til noen av de farligste stedene å
være på kloden. Volden er så massiv og invaderende
at den endrer kulturen. Musikkformen narcocorridos
har blitt svært populær. På samme måte som den
nord-amerikanske gangsterrap’en skaper den helter
av mafialederne.

This film offers a critical view on land grabbing:
Large agricultural corporations, with the support of international investors and local governments, seize land from originally self-sustained
farmers. This film takes us to Mali, Uganda and
Cambodia, outlining the consequences of land
grabbing for people, ecosystems, and the future
of the world.
Filmen setter et kritisk blikk på landran, hvor store
landsbruksselskaper, med støtte fra internasjonale
investorer og lokale myndigheter, tilraner seg landeiendom fra småbønder. Med eksempler fra Mali, Uganda
og Kambodsja beskrives konsekvensene av landran for
mennesker, økosystemer og verdens fremtid.

uncover some very disturbing conditions in the

Did we do the right thing?
Filmed between August 2011 and August 2013,
this is a remarkable and intimate portrait of a
group of young men in the city of Homs in Syria.
They dream of removing Bashar al-Assad from
power, and fight for justice through peaceful
demonstrations. As the army acts ever more
brutally, the young men become armed insurgents. Basset, a charismatic football player
and popular singer, becomes a militia leader.
Scenes of lively demonstrations make way for
panicking civilians, grim battles, and rising
numbers of fallen loved ones.
Et veldig sterkt vitnesbyrd fra innsiden av krigen i Syria.
Vi følger Basset, en karismatisk ung fotballspiller og
sanger, fra å lede fredelige demonstrasjoner til å bli
leder av en lokal væpnet militia.

Panel debate before the film with Jon Wessel-Aas and Lee Andrew Bygrave, moderated
by Rocco Bellanova (PRIO)
After 50 years of civil war, South Sudan has
finally become its own state, but none of the
institutions of a functioning democracy are in
place. In a land that’s been torn apart by extreme violence, famine, and displacement, how
do you start thinking about things like creating
a treasury, a taxation system, or a national archive? How do you stop a new state from failing
before it gets started, and is the one-size-fitsall model the UN has for building a state even
relevant for South Sudan?
Etter 50 år med borgerkrig er Sør-Sudan endelig blitt en
egen stat, men ingen av de institusjoner som kjennetegner et velfungerende demokrati er på plass. Hvordan
bygge en stat fra bunnen av? Og er FNs «one-size-fitsall»-modell for statsbygging i det hele tatt relevant for
Sør-Sudan?
Presented in collaboration with PRIO
Do we consent to total surveillance? Corporations are following our every move online, we’re
not in control of our cyber presence and nothing
we do is exempt from being used for commercial purposes. Now we know our governments
are in on it too. Can we continue to call our
societies functioning democracies when our
governments are watching our every move?
Vil vi akseptere total overvåking? Etter Snowdens
avsløringer har vi lært at ikke bare store selskaper,
men også våre egne regjeringer bedriver nærmest total
overvåking på nett. Kan vi fremdeles hevde at vi lever i
demokratiske samfunn?

THE OTHER - TRANSFORMING
DEHUMANIZATION THROUGH
THEATRE OF THE OPPRESSED
In our four day exploration the workshop will examine what role
theatre can play in times of social and political upheaval? Hector
Aristizábal, theater maker, psychologist and activist against
torture, has founded the ImaginAction network in Los Angeles in
order to utilize the transformational forces of theater for community building and in processes of self-empowerment. Against
the background of the Theatre of the Oppressed developed by
Augusto Boal in the 1960s, Aristizábal will join the workshop
participants to develop scenes from concrete life experiences,
looking for ways to connect individual modes of acting with the
global movements for radical political change as experienced in
the film festival.
We will explore our own definitions of “The Other” and how
we dehumanize ourselves by dehumanizing other people. The
interactive approach of the workshop emphasizes aesthetic
dialogues, non-verbal imagery, consensus-building and collective problem solving processes, as well as techniques such
as “rainbow of desire” and “cops in the head” for developing
awareness and confronting both external and internalized forms
of oppression.

KVELDSSEMINAR: KAN TORTUR
RETTFERDIGGJØRES? -ET ETISK OG
JURIDISK PERSPEKTIV
Krigen mot terror har ført til en sterk oppsving i bruken av “enhanced interrogation techniques” (EIT), bedre kjent som tortur.
I et forsøk på å bekjempe den nye fienden, ble EIT et verktøy for
å avdekke terrornettverk og hente ut informasjon som kunne
avsløre potensielle nye terrorangrep. Denne diskusjonen vil
fokusere på bakgrunnen for hele debatten om bruk av EIT, da
spesielt med tanke på juridiske og etiske utfordringer knyttet til
bruken av tortur av stater som tar del i det 21. århundrets “war on
terror”.

I foredraget vil Trine Myhrvold presentere forhold av betydning
for flyktningers psykiske helse. Psykiske lidelser hos flyktninger assosieres med belastninger før, under og etter flukten.
Mest alvorlig er tortur som innebærer organisert vold utført mot
personer med hensikt av, eller på ordre fra, offentlig tjenesteperson. Begrenset psykisk og sosial støtte, alvorlige tap, risiko
for diskriminering, utnyttelse og vold truer deres psykiske helse
ytterligere. Trine Myhrvold argumenterer for at behovet for helsehjelp skal styre tilgangen til helsetjenester, ikke hvilken status
den enkelte har – eller ikke har – i samfunnet.

på facebook.
SEMINAR: GJELDSKRISEN ER IKKE OVER - HVOR GÅR
NORGE NÅ?
Gjeldskrisen er ikke over. Gjeldsnivået for utviklingsland er
dobbelt så høyt nå som i år 2000, og består i dag av 50 prosent
private lån og 50 prosent offentlige lån. I 16 land er gjeldsnivået
bekymringsfullt høyt, men det er faktisk i mellominntektsland at
man kan se for seg gjeldskrise i nær fremtid. Bildet på gjeldskriser er endret, men det systemiske problemet er det samme. Dårlig
regulering og troen på at utlånere alltid får tilbake pengene
sine bidrar til en uregulert lånefest der de fattige menneskene i
utviklingsland blir sittende igjen med regningen.
Hva kan Norge gjøre for å sikre ansvarlig långiving internasjonalt
og opprettelsen av en uavhengig og rettferdig gjeldshåndteringsmekanisme?
