A Guide to Safe Water in a Flood (by Bruce Rowse)
This is a Do It Yourself guide to help people with their water
supplies during a flood. It explains why safe water is so important
during a flood, and the difference between clear water, or water
that looks clean but may be contaminated, and safe water, water
which is actually safe to drink. It shows you how to treat water
in a flood so that it is safe to consume using low cost technologies
that everyone should be able to afford. This guide is published
on the world wide web, which, in February 2000 when this was written,
had over 100,000 million users worldwide. This guide is available
free of charge to anyone, anywhere. In many developing countries
use of the internet is not widespread, this guide has been designed
so that it is easy to print and circulate. This guide was prepared
by Bruce Rowse, a mechanical engineer who worked in rural water
supply projects in Ethiopia and Mozambique from 1988 to 1996.
Information and drawings supplied by Martin Wegelin of SODIS has
provided invaluable input into the preparation of this guide.
The Mango Pages voluntarily publishes technical Do It Yourself
guides to "help people help themselves". If you would
like to voluntarily contribute to the Mango Pages and make your
knowledge instantly available to people all over the globe via

Lessons from the Rwanda Experience
http://www.ing.dk/danida/rwanda.html
The international response to the killing of 500.000-800.000 Rwandese
men, women, and children in about three months in 1994 has been
subject to an unprecendented, self-critical evaluation, led by
DANIDA, the development wing of the Danish Ministry of Foreign
Affairs. The report was written by a team of 52 independent experts,
and the evaluation has been sponsored and financed jointly by
a Steering Committee comprising 37 countries, bilateral, international,
multilateral and non-governental organizations. Hard copies can

NRM_changelinks: Improving Community Participation in Environment
& Development
http://nrm.massey.ac.nz/changelinks/
This site aims to provide a practical resource for those who work
with communities (in the wider sense of the term) to help them
identify and adopt more sustainable natural resource management
practices. Although the emphasis of this site is on improving
community
participation and collaborative management within natural resource
management (catchment management, biodiversity enhancement,
conservation, riparian management, agriculture, etc), the approaches
outlined here are also useful for those working in a diverse range
of
development areas such as urban planning, rural development, health,
housing, etc.

Peacekeeping Training Courses Database
http://www.un.org/Depts/dpko/training/list1.htm
The UN General Assembly, in its resolution 46/48 of 9 Dec 91 (paragraph
10), requested the Secretary General to collect information on
peacekeeping training and similar activities and further requested
him to issue a list based on national submissions and to bring
it up to date regularly. In pursuance of this request, a Peacekeeping
Training Courses Database was initiated by the Training Unit of
the Department of Peacekeeping Operations. Over the years since,
hard-copies of the updated data had been made available to all
who requested. These had also been distributed to all Member States
periodically, as well as to fellow peacekeepers worldwide, through
the many United Nations Training Assistance Teams (UNTAT) activities.
With the increasing use of computers and the Internet worldwide,
it is now timely to have this database readily available on the
Internet. For ease of exploring, the database is organised and
can be viewed by :
1. Member States - Countries listed in alphabetical order.
2. Type of peacekeeping training/courses

Established in 1994, Rights International fights for those rights
recognized by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other
international human rights treaties. We operate independently
of any political ideology, government, economic interest, or religious
creed. Rights International is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, not-for-profit
corporation. Rights International's goals are two-fold: to protect
the human rights of our clients, and to advance the development
of international human rights caselaw. We serve these goals through
a number of means. Among them are: Representing victims of human
rights violations in international tribunals, and filing amicus
briefs before such tribunals. These international tribunals include
a) the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights,
b) the Inter-American Court of Human Rights,
c) the European Court of Human Rights, and
d) the African Commission on Human and People's Rights.
An on-going publications program, which has produced a two-volume
work, International Human Rights Law & Practice (Kluwer Law
International, 1997). Volume I contains extensive selections and
excerpts of international human rights cases, together with comments
and questions on them; Volume II is a comprehensive compilation
of human rights instruments relevant to the human rights litigator.
In addition, Rights International is publishing a Companion Series
of three volumes. A Brief Bank, which provides downloadable model
human rights briefs for practitioners. Some of these briefs are
intended to be used as guides in presenting cases before international
tribunals; others can be used in making international human rights
law arguments before domestic courts. A Research Guide to resources,
on-line and off-line, for human rights litigators.

The Sphere Project
http://www.sphereproject.org/
A programme of The Steering Committee for Humanitarian Response
& InterAction with VOICE, ICRC, ICVA. Inception: In
July 1997, the Sphere Project was launched by an established group
of humanitarian agencies. This project sought to develop a set
of standards in core areas of humanitarian assistance in order
to better the quality of assistance provided to people affected
by disasters, and to improve the accountability of agencies. The
Project was undertaken out of concern that a massively increased
demand for humanitarian relief worldwide was in danger of outstripping
the response capacity of the humanitarian system and could lead
to inconsistent quality of relief efforts. Production: In
October 1998, the Sphere Project Management Committee, with the
participation of over 700 individuals from over 228 organisations
in over 60 countries, completed the preliminary edition of the
Sphere Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster
Response. Application: In 1999, humanitarian agencies committed
to the implementation of the Humanitarian Charter and Minimum
Standards will test their application and evaluate the usefulness
of the document as a working tool in relief operations. Implementation
methods and complaint-handling mechanisms will subsequently be
developed.

Water for the 21st Century
http://www.unesco.org/science/waterday2000/
The ACC Subcommittee on Water Resources, at its nineteenth session
decided that UNESCO would be the lead agency in charge of the
organization of the World Day for Water 2000. The theme selected
was "Water for the Twenty-first Century", in order to
focus on the challenges for water resources planning, development
and management for the next century.
The United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/47/193
of 22 February 1993 by which 22 March of each year was declared
World Day for Water, to be observed starting in 1993, in conformity
with the recommendations of the United Nations Conference on Environment
and Development contained in chapter 18 (Fresh Water Resources)
of Agenda 21.
World Day for Water is pivotal to focusing attention on the need,
among others, to:
- address the problems relating to drinking water supply;
- increase awareness about the importance of conservation, preservation,
and protection of water resources and drinking water supply;
- increase governments, international agencies, non-governmental
organisations, and private sector participation and cooperation
in organisation of WWD celebrations.

Yale Human Rights and Development Law Journal
http://diana.law.yale.edu/yhrdlj/
YHRDLJ is dedicated to publishing high quality Articles, Notes,
New
Developments, and Practitioner's Notes that explore important
issues at the
intersection of human rights and development law. They see human
rights and
development as two sides of the same coin: human rights cannot
fully be
guaranteed without sustained development of social, economic,
cultural,
political, and civic institutions in a given society; at the same
time,
development cannot proceed without effective protection, guaranteed
by law,
of the full range of human rights (civil, social, economic, political,
and
cultural).
