10/10/2005: Iraq’s parliament voted to reverse its recent changes in rules for the referendum on the new constitution. The UN had had earlier indicated that the existing rules were unfair, and that the process did not meet international standards. Originally the rule held that the motion to pass the constitution would be defeated if two- thirds of any three provinces voted against it. The Sunnis, who are against the constitution have sufficient majority in four provinces. They believe that the federalist nature of the constitution would divide the nation into two Shia and Kurdish mini-states and leave the minority of Sunnis in the central region in the lurch in a region with no oil. Later, however, the parliament passed a resolution, which said that the two-third majority referred not to two-thirds of those who actually vote, but two-thirds of the registered population. This interpretation makes it virtually impossible for the Iraqi population to reject it. The Sunni Arabs had decided to boycott the elections. Such a step would have undermined the legitimacy of the process at a time when US wanted to unite the different factions of Iraq and reduce the support for insurgency. After the parliament reversed the changes, the Sunnis dropped their threat of boycott

6/10/2005: Draft legislation for private colleges - The Union Government has formulated draft legislation concerning the admission, reservation and fee structure in private professional colleges. The draft is presently titled the 'Private Professional Educational Institutions Bill of 2005', and has been circulated among educational institutions for suggestions, on receiving which, it will be finalised. The draft envisages proposals to establish committees to regulate the rules concerning admission and fees; to regulate rules regarding foreign students and education providers; and the formation of a three member committee presided over by a former vice chancellor of a state or central university. The draft also stated that if any institution violates the rules prescribed by the committee, it can withdraw the recognition given to that institute. The committee will also set rules that will ensure fair and transparent admission. An aided minority institution shall be allowed to reserve 50 percent of the seats under the management category, and an aided non-minority institution, 15 percent. Fifteen percent of the seats from general category in all private colleges will be filled on an All India merit basis.

6/10/2005: New anti-prostitution laws in pipeline - An amendment proposed by the department of child and women has proposed drastic changes in the current anti-prostitution law. The amendment calls for imprisonment and fine for anyone found with a prostitute. The proposed amendment provides for a three-month imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 20,000 for patrons, and an imprisonment of 1 year and a fine of Rs. 1 lakh has been proposed for traffickers. The definition of trafficking has been broadened to include recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt by person under the UN Convention against Trans-national Organised Crimes guidelines. The existing law deals only with sexual slavery. The setting up of a central nodal agency, along the lines of the Central Narcotics Bureau, has also been proposed, to control extensive human trafficking. It also proposes to drop provision like Sec. 8 and Sec. 20 of the Immoral Trafficking Prevention Act (ITPA) which make soliciting a crime. The proposed changes are being made on the grounds of the assumption that sex workers are victims of circumstances and engage in prostitution due to compulsions. Hence, they also plan to do away with the provisions for evictions of prostitutes.
