Human Rights: Empowering the Voice Seldom Heard.
Independent Asylum Commission
<p>Asylum is one of the most contentious issues in contemporary politics. It is consistently at the top of the public's list of political concerns. Never far from the headlines, there is a widespread belief that the system is not "fit for purpose".</p>
<p>
Meanwhile, there are many reports of asylum seekers facing unfair treatment, destitution and a loss of dignity. And a recent citizens' commission into conditions at Lunar House, the headquarters of the Immigration and Nationality Directorate, called for an independent review of national asylum policies.</p>
<p>
So concerned citizens across the country have asked our team of commissioners to conduct a truly independent review of the UK asylum system, from beginning to end. After eighteen months of gathering evidence we will produce a recommendations for reform in 2008 that are fair as well as forceful, and realistic as well as humane.</p>
<p>
The commissioners will be investigating our asylum system on behalf of a whole range of citizens - from those who believe that asylum seekers are not being treated with humanity, to those who believe our asylum system is too generous.</p>

<p>The whole of Human Rights TV is a thank you to Sharon Kinchela, Violet Spicer, Rodney Boschman and Jennifer Wright without whom it would not have been possible.</p>
<p>The whole team who have built the site would also like it to stand as a symbol of reconciliation as inspired by the Indigenous people of Australia.</p>

Human Rights TV is established to "empower the voice seldom heard".
We recognise that those who have suffered abuse often suffer further indignity by remaining unheard. In making the individual story, told by the individual in their own words and their own way, visible, accessible and freely available we can offer some support to those who need it most.
Human Rights TV guarantees to the individuals who provide their testimony that it will not be edited into other progamming unless they specifically request that. The testimony remains the copyright of the person supplying it and we never appropriate the voice we serve.
Human Rights TV provides a free service to individuals, free at the point of entry, free at the point of viewing. We do not believe that those who have suffered should have to pay to be heard.
Human Rights TV maintains a sacred space on the web where all who are present share the values enshrined in the Human Rights Declaration at the United Nations in 1948 and the subsequent developments in the ideal of human rights. We promise to protect this space from inappropriate activities, marketing or promotions.
Human Rights TV does not support, represent or promote any political or religious stance and acts purely as a video resource cataloging the history of the progression and activity of human rights in the 21st century. We do not guarantee the authenticity or veracity of any of the content we archive but offer it as prime source material that gives the viewer the chance to make their own judgment.
