Guyana!

Until Monday I had no idea where Guyana even was. Now I have to become an expert in a week. The South African nation will be the focus of the OU International Human Rights Clinic this year. Our task is to write a "shadow" report to the UN Human Rights Council for the Universal Periodic Review that takes place for each UN member state every 4 years. Guyana is up in mid 2010, and our report will be used to challenge the government of Guyana on their human rights record regarding indigenous peoples.
