Minority Rights International

These people might profit from a writeup of the situation in Maininagar,
as well as of other DNT concerns. The DNT issue does not seem to fall
within their purview, but the website is highly interactive, and I'm
sure will allow input from interested readers.

Reposted from the JUSTWATCH-L:
Minority Rights Group International is pleased to announce the launch of the
first online directory of the world's minorities and indigenous peoples, on
February 27th 2008. The World Directory of Minorities and Indigenous Peoples
covers 220 of the world's countries and dependent territories, and features
profiles of about 700 minorities/indigenous peoples. It is a unique resource
for policy-makers, governments, journalists, academics and all those with an
interest in the growing field of minority rights.
To access the directory, go to http://www.minorityrights.org/directory
The World Directory is being launched in conjunction with our annual Peoples
Under Threat ranking, which seeks to identify peoples or groups that are most
under threat of genocide, mass killing or systemic violence repression in 2008.
This year's survey reveals that over half of the top twenty countries in the
world where people are most under threat of genocide or mass killing are in
Africa.

Rights Group International (MRG) is a non governmental organisation working to
secure the rights of ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities and indigenous
peoples worldwide.
