Genocidal intentions are inferred from what governments do and from what they knew at the time they did it; and it was obvious to everyone in Armenia (including diplomats and missionaries from Germany, then allied to Turkey, and to neutral US ambassadors) that the deportations had turned into death marches, and the massacres were influenced by race hatred fanned by the government's "Turkification" campaign. In great haste, it came up with three historians - Bernard Lewis (who had been prosecuted in France for denying the genocide, but then told Le Monde that he did not dispute that hundreds of thousands of Armenians had died), Justin McCarthy (a Kentucky professor whose pro-Turkish work was sent to Keith Vaz, then a minister at the Foreign Office, by the Turkish ambassador) and Heath L...

IN A new human rights case to cause anger, an Afghan man suspected of being a member of the Taliban has won the right to live in the UK because it would be too dangerous to send him home to face prosecution. Abdul Martin Shizad, 20, who lives in South-East England, was ordered by the UK Border Agency to leave the country in April last year.

SO, Joe Riley, the great omniscient judge on high, tells us that Saif al-Islam Gaddafi should be hanged or shot "Gaddafi must face justice in Libya", (ECHO Nov 24), but for what crimes? They'd better be more convincing than those trumped up by the International Criminal Court against his father, all of which have been proven complete cobblers by humanitarian agencies on the ground in Libya and Russian spy satellites. However, we could certainly lay some charges at the door of 10 Downing Street against David Cameron and his gang, such as the following: instigating a war of aggression against Libya in contravention of the Nuremberg Principles ; attempting to assassinate the leader of the government of Libya in contravention of United Nations Charter; deliberate killing of civilians in con...
UNTOLD stories of persecution were shared as people in Cheltenham marked National Holocaust Memorial Day. Hundreds gathered at the University of Gloucestershire's Park campus to hear survivors' accounts of the Nazi killing regime in the 1940s.

IT IS a showdown over whether some prisoners should have the right to vote - but it has the potential to derail future elections and trigger a Euro-crisis. Now Westminster is waiting to find out whether David Cameron has let a dangerous genie out of its bottle, by granting his MPs a free vote on the controversy.

EVERYONE has a story. If the dates are right, part of my tribe wound up in this country because of the great hunger, the Irish famine. Those immigrants were a small part, wounded in their own way, of a bigger history. But I don't remember feeling moved, particularly, when Tony Blair decided to apologise for Britain's role in Ireland's catastrophe. My middle name is Mackay. Another set of dates point me, therefore, to Sutherland, the ancestral territory, and to the Clearances that shaped so many Scottish families, here and gone. I have some opinions about 19th century economic theory. I've been known to suggest uses for dynamite around Dunrobin Castle. But an apology? What would I do with that?

A LABOUR former Immigration Minister last night said Theresa May was right to say human rights laws make a mockery of the way Britain deals with asylum seekers. Phil Woolas also released extracts from an explosive diary revealing the 'absurd' degree to which the immigration service was hampered by court rulings on human rights.

THEY made an interesting contrast yesterday morning, the front pages of Britain's two leading left-of-centre qualities. "Genocide", said the Independent, across the full width of its compact front page. The word was underlined in red, the large picture beneath it was of a desperate, crying child sitting in the dust of a refugee camp; and the story to the left of the page was designed to welcome, with the words "at last", the fact that the US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, had finally used the key word "genocide" to describe what has been happening over the past 18 months in the Sudanese province of Darfur, where 50,000 are thought to have died, and a black African population estimated at 1.2 million has been driven off its land by Arab militias allegedly backed, or at least tolerated...
