Incorrect attributation of quotation and authorship

[edit]

In 2005 Isi Leibler, author of The Case for Israel, wrote an editorial archived at Campus Watch. In his archived editorial, Leibler asserted that Human Rights Watch is among the groups that “have long track records of bias and employing double standards in relation to Israel.”[9] Isi Leibler did not write The Case for Israel, Alan Dershowitz did. The quoted article is an editorial by Isi Leibler, a journalist.

HRW and Chavez

[edit]

@Odalcet: please, before removing this content again [1], discuss why you do not agree with it. Maybe we can find a better wording. The Venezuelan government is not a impartial actor here because the report of the HRW is about Chavez administration. The point of view of the accused HRW investigators involved has to be taken into account.--ReyHahn (talk) 06:35, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bolivia

[edit]

There is some online criticism of HRW's position on recent (2019/2020) developments in Bolivia, but none of them are great quality sources, ex: https://thegrayzone.com/2019/11/20/human-rights-watch-bolivia-coup-massacre/ - the responses to this: https://twitter.com/hrw/status/1305186958990172161

Are these enough for a new section? Does anybody have a better sources? Miserlou (talk) 05:00, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Colombia

Similar to Bolivia, there's criticism of their activities in Colombia: https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/did-human-rights-watch-sabotage-colombias-peace-agreement/
