There's up-to-date information on the unrests in [Nepal](http://www.achrweb.org/countries/nepal.htm?ref=opendemocracy.net) and [Kyrgyzstan](http://www.achrweb.org/Review/2005/65-05.htm?ref=opendemocracy.net) on the Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) [website.](http://www.achrweb.org/?ref=opendemocracy.net) The ACHR weekly [Review](http://www.achrweb.org/review.htm?ref=opendemocracy.net) discusses human rights and the UN critically from an Asian perspective.

Here's a snippet from the [article](http://www.achrweb.org/Review/2005/65-05.htm?ref=opendemocracy.net) on Kyrgyzstan:

*As the 61st session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights starts debates on Item 9 on country situations on 23 March 2005, the democratic protests in Kyrgyzstan is unlikely to find any echo at the Palais des Nations. The Commission on Human Rights has increasingly turned into a forum for self-defence by States with bad human rights record rather than an institution censuring gross human rights violations.*
