UN Human Rights "outraged" by killing of Russian diplomats
 (KUNA) -- UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour said Monday that with regards to torture in Iraq and the particular case of killing of the Russian diplomats, "we can collectively express our outrage of matters against parties that fall prey to these activities". Arbour called upon the new government that it will engage in a very robust fashion with all international actors to try to address these horrendous and continued large scale practices. High Commissioner for Human Rights made this statement in a press conference marking the commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the UN Fund for Victims of Torture. Arbour launched the book Rebuilding Lives, which presents the experiences of torture survivors and the efforts of those who work to rehabilitate them. Rebuilding Lives includes five illustrated articles on current victim support projects in Australia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Chile, Pakistan and Rwanda.
