Taxpayers Against Genocide Deliver Complaint to Human Rights Commission
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

On Wednesday, activists with Taxpayers Against Genocide delivered a
complaint to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in
Washington, D.C., calling on the U.S. to follow its obligations to
prevent genocide under the American Declaration on the Rights and Duties
of Man. Huwaida Arraf is lead attorney on the case.

Huwaida Arraf: "Because when you support genocide, you basically violate
every right that's guaranteed in the American Declaration, which the
United States is held to. The first and foremost among them is the right
to life."
