Федеральный судья Лос-Анджелеса Одри Колинз признал неконституционными некоторые положения американского антитеррористического закона, известного как USA Patriot Act. Неконституционной признана часть документа, запрещающая оказывать материальную и иную помощь иностранным организациям, которые признаны террористическими. По мнению судьи, данное положение противоречит первой поправке Конституции США и является незаконным.
USA Patriot Act был подписан 26 октября 2001 года президентом США Джорджем Бушем. Данный антитеррористической закон был принят в ответ на теракт 11 сентября 2001 года и дает правительству и полиции Соединенных Штатов широкие полномочия по надзору за гражданами страны. Признание части Patriot Act не соответствующей основному американскому закону страны происходит впервые. Эксперты отмечают, что в связи с набирающей обороты в США предвыборной кампанией, возможно, данный прецедент будет иметь некоторый общественный резонанс. Но до серьезного конфликта в законодательном хозяйстве этой страны дело, скорее всего, не дойдет, подчеркивают специалисты.

Ingushetia - Providing Shelter from the Cold
. In late December 2002, Russian forces dismantled Aki-Yurt, a tent camp in the neighboring republic of Ingushetia, and ' evicted hundreds of displaced Chechen families in an effort to drive them back to Chechnya. But with few willing to return to their volatile communities, they found themselves with nowhere to go in the middle of a brutal winter.
More than 110,000 Chechens have sought safety in Ingushetia from the ongoing fighting between Russian troops and Chechen separatists. But the displaced Chechens face an uncertain future as Russia threatens to close the remaining camps and force all of them home, in spite of ongoing insecurity, deplorable conditions and the mass destruction of homes in their communities of origin.
Preparing for more evictions in Ingushetia, the IRC (International Refugee Committee) quickly constructed dozens of family-sized "box tents" to provide temporary shelter and shield families from the cold. We continued to provide sanitation, water and formal education services for children.
Back among the ruins of Chechnya's capital, Grozny, the IRC provides emergency aid for those who stayed behind. Focusing on areas hardest hit by the conflict, IRC staff members make repairs to local water systems and truck in water, build latrines, collect garbage, construct bathing facilities, and provide teacher training and supplies to help 3,500 children catch up on lost learning. We're also planning for emergency shelter, should families in Ingushetia be forced to return to violence-torn Chechnya and find themselves, again, in the cold.

5 августа 2002 года одна из самых кровавых группировок Уганды, Армия Сопротивления, атаковала и разрушила лагерь беженцев Акой-Пии, расположенный в северной части страны. 24 тысячи беженцев из Судана и 43 представителя Международного Комитета по делам беженцев спаслись бегством. В ходе нападения были убиты 50 человек, десятки ранены, а шестеро работников комитета были похищены. Комитет по делам беженцев совместно с ООН работают над переселением беженцев в более безопасное поселение и обеспечением их продуктами, лекарством, водой и предметами первой необходимости. Тем временем, после пяти дней переговоров повстанцы освободили похищенных членов комитета. «Они истощены, но не ранены», - заявил Тимоти Бишоп, глава Комитета по делам беженцев в Уганде. «Это происшествие ни в коем случае не уменьшает желания нашей команды облегчить жизнь беженцам из Судана и Уганды, потерявшим жилье из-за войны, идущей в обеих странах.» В северной части страны продолжаются столкновения между правительственными войсками и повстанцами. Повстанцы также продолжают похищать мирных людей. Тем немногим, кому удалось сбежать из рабства, Комитет по делам беженцев предоставляет медицинскую и психологическую помощь, а также помогает вернуться к своим семьям.
