I'm more worried now than I was before I came here,

building reconciliation between ethnic groups, issues of human rights, more tolerance and commitment to democratic human rights values.

The convention (on refugees) provides that they should be accepted at the nearest port and I think the issue is a very serious one.

It's all the more necessary that China embraces the kind of political reform and opening up of society which will also be better for human rights and prepare China to ratify the covenant on civil and political rights,

You hear and read of the destruction, see pictures, ... very devastating ... to come and see row after row of blackened, destroyed homes.

Pavement slippery, people sneezing,Lords in ermine, beggars freezing;Titled gluttons dainties carving,Genius in a garret starving.
