Pakistan Tour to New Zealand…


Pakistan will tour New Zealand at the end of the year for a series of two Tests, six ODIs and three Twenty20 internationals, New Zealand Cricket has announced. The original plan was to have three Tests, but the boards agreed to reduce it to two and fit in more limited-overs games for the sake of preparing for the 50-over World Cup to follow in February-March. 

"We have agreed to move from three Tests to two to allow the addition of another ODI and three Twenty20 internationals, which makes sense for both teams in the final weeks before the World Cup commences," NZC chief executive Justin Vaughan said. "The mix of games also makes it easier to fit into what is a condensed window of international cricket this season.

"The shape of the international schedule allows the maximum opportunity for (New Zealand players') participation in the domestic Twenty20 competition and also to provide a real focus on Twenty20 during the period from early December to early January for both domestic and international cricket."

The tour commences on Boxing Day with the first of three Twenty20s. The Test series begins on January 7 with the first game at Seddon Park in Hamilton, and the second at the Basin Reserve in Wellington starting January 15. The teams will stay back in Wellington for the first of six ODIs, starting January 22, at the Westpac Stadium. The remaining matches will be shared out between the major international venues, with the exception of the University Oval in Dunedin.
Pakistan last toured New Zealand in 2009-10, which was actually their 'home series'. Due to the volatile security situation in Pakistan, the PCB had to schedule their home series in New Zealand itself. The teams played out a closely fought three-Test series, which ended in a 1-1 draw. 

Schedule of the Series.

Human Rights Day, December 10, 2010.


Human Rights have a very important role in every community; either Muslim point of view or social point of view of non-Muslims, well one that is very clear in each religion of the world the most emphasis always on human rights, just to give others their rights and have your rights,

In Islam, Allah Almighty Said many times to give others their human rights, and According to Muhammad PBUH no one have right to misuse others rights and also not to go against others rights, but we have to protect others Rights.

Human Rights Day 2010 on 10 December recognizes the work of human rights defenders worldwide who act to end discrimination.  The promotion and protection of human rights has been a major preoccupation for the United Nations since 1945, when the organizations founding nations resolved that the horror of the Second World War should never be allow recurring.
Acting alone or in groups within their communities, every day human rights defenders work to end discrimination by campaigning for equitable and effective laws, reporting and investigating human rights violations and supporting victims.

Respect human rights and human dignity is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world”, the general assembly declared three years later in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In 1950, all states and interested organizations were invited by the General Assembly to observe 10 December as Human rights Day under UN Resolution 423(V).

The Dar marks the anniversary of the Assembly’s adoption of the universal Declaration of human rights in 1948. Over the years, a whole network of Human Rights instruments and mechanisms has been developed to ensure the primacy of human rights and to confront human rights violations wherever they occur.

1st December; World AIDS Day


Each year whole world observe 1st December as World AIDs Day, With the theme of 'Universal Access and Human Rights---A Challenge',

World AIDS Day was observed here in Pakistan on Wednesday like other parts of the world with a resolve to raise awareness about the disease so as to create a healthy society in public and all the victims of HIV AIDs.

During 2009 some 2.6 million people became newly infected with the virus due to lack of awareness, cure and other care facilities and an estimated 1.8 million people died from AIDS in whole world.

To aware people, different NGOs and other organisations planned to hold walks, seminars and other programmes to spread awareness and support progress in HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care of the disease. According to UNAID estimates, there are around 33.3 million people living with HIV, including 2.5 million children.

According to UNAID estimates, about 97,000 people were living with HIV in Pakistan at the end of 2009. Officially reported cases are, however, much lower. As in many countries, under reporting is due mainly to the social stigma attached to HIV, limited surveillance and voluntary counseling and testing systems, and the lack of knowledge among the general population and health practitioners.

 Health professionals said that Pakistan being signatory to the MDGs and Goal 6 is required to halt and begin to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS by the year 2015. According to them, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that infects cells of the immune system, destroying or impairing their function. As the infection progresses, the immune system becomes weaker, and the person becomes more susceptible to infections. The most advanced stage of HIV infection is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It can take 10-15 years for an HIV-infected person to develop AIDS; anti retroviral drugs can slow down the process even further.

A spokesperson of Family Planning Association of Pakistan (FPAP) said that sexual violence not only affects women physically, but it also affects their reproductive and sexual health, making them vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. She said that people suffering from HIV/AIDS could not be denied basic human rights. She said" As per estimates, a million people acquire a sexually transmitted infection (STI) including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) every day. In developing countries, STIs and their complications rank in the top five disease categories for which adults seek health care. Infection with STIs can lead to acute symptoms, chronic infection and serious delayed consequences such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy, cervical cancer and the untimely death of infants and adults."


They said HIV/AIDS remains one of the world's most significant public health challenges, particularly in low and middle-income countries. "More than 95% of HIV infections are in developing countries, two-thirds of them in sub-Saharan Africa, where over 28 million people are living with HIV.
