"HRW Changes Direction on Terror and Human Rights"
Summary: Human Rights Watch has announced an opening for a Project Director for Terrorism/Counterterrorism, and pledged an "enhanced commitment" on this critical issue. As NGO Monitor studies show, HRW has often erased the context of terror in its political condemnations of Israeli and U.S. policies. If this announcement is matched by changes in HRWs approach, this could mark an important change and restoration of universal human rights norms in this NGO.
