The News Pakistan writes in their report ‘ The slain Pakistani leader, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, is among seven international personalities who were honoured with a prestigious United Nations prize awarded for outstanding work in human rights this year. The UN Prize in the Field of Human Rights, awarded by the General Assembly every five years, was presented this year at a ceremony in 192-member assembly hall, marking the 60th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Other winners of the prize are: Ms. Louise Arbour, a Canadian who was until recently U.N. High Commissioner for human rights, Ramsey Clark, veteran American human rights defender and rule of law advocate, Dr. Carolyn Gomes, co-founder of Jamaicans for Justice, Dr. Denis Mukwege, a Congolese who has been helping women and girl victims of sexual violence, and Human Rights Watch, an international watchdog. Bhutto and Sr. Dorothy Stang—a Brazilian who defended the human rights of the poor, landless and indigenous populations—were awarded the prize posthumously. The award is given to individuals and organizations in recognition of their outstanding contribution to the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms. Previous recipients have included Nelson Mandela, Amnesty International, Jimmy Carter, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King as well as Ra’ana Liaquat Ali Khan, wife of Pakistan’s first Pakistani Prime Minister, who was also assassinated in Rawalpindi’.

Great Women she was but she is gone. We need to accept the fact and stop living with the memories and pictures. She did good for Pakistan but now is the time that we need to think about future and how we can bring change. Problem is our people not the leaders. Leaders are not made but we make them. We vote them and then we complain. There is no end to it as we all know but just the fact that we might is giving us a false hope making things worst for us. We need a leader but mostly we ourself has to change. Can we do it ?? I dont see myself changing and neither i see a change in you. We need help and we are not getting it.
I think she was sincere with Pakistan , unlike the other clowns Zardari, Gillani who are ruling the roost as we speak. Anyways , congrats to Bhutto family, PPP and People of Pakistan for the award.
give a break, she never helped any “poor human beings” or “defended poor peoples rights”, or maybe only poor people in her native sindh. but even then i dont believe. all the money she gave her husband who is now robbing us of whatever little we have and whatever little we are sending home from other rich countries for our families.
