GENEVA http://www.authentic49ersstore.com/49ers-Joe-Montana-Draft-Jersey/ , Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein on Tuesday welcomed the repeal of laws in Lebanon, Tunisia and Jordan that allowed rapists to avoid criminal prosecution by marrying their victims.

"To punish a rape victim by making her marry the perpetrator of a horrible crime against her, there is no place in today's world for such hideous laws," he said in a statement issued Tuesday.

"I warmly welcome the stand that lawmakers in Lebanon, Tunisia and Jordan have taken towards eliminating violence against women and ensuring that perpetrators of such violence are held to account http://www.authentic49ersstore.com/49ers-Jimmy-Garoppolo-Draft-Jersey/ ," he added.

On Aug. 16, Lebanon voted to repeal article 522 of its penal code, a law that provided that if a person accused of rape agreed to marry the victim, the accused not be subjected to criminal prosecution.

Two weeks earlier, on Aug. 1 http://www.authentic49ersstore.com/49ers-Jimmie-Ward-Draft-Jersey/ , Jordanian lawmakers also voted to abolish a similar provision.

In Tunisia, on July 26, the parliament adopted a law on eliminating violence against women and eliminating impunity for perpetrators, recognizing that violence against women includes economic, sexual http://www.authentic49ersstore.com/49ers-Jerry-Rice-Draft-Jersey/ , political and psychological violence. The law will come into effect next year.

"These are hard-won victories, thanks to the tireless campaigns over the years by human rights defenders, in particular women human rights defenders," Zeid said.

With the price of fuel and the state of the economy currently many individuals are considering the necessity of cutting back their expenses. This is unfortunate for many individuals that adore their sport utility vehicles. They don't necessarily concern themselves with the look so much as the overall utility of the vehicle. People with large families, or who live in the country, or even just enjoy the outdoors all benefit from these types of vehicles.

Those who enjoy having an SUV but cannot handle the expense in gas or allow themselves to stomach the lack of concern they feel they might have for their carbon footprint can reduce both by downsizing to a four cylinder model of SUV.

There are many of these economical variant SUVs that can be purchased for a low price and continue to pay off in the long run via fuel economy. To be fair they are often smaller and sometimes don't have the motorized muscle of their larger cousins and none of them are as fuel efficient as a smaller automobile. However, the end result is that in a proper four cylinder SUV the owner can squeeze anywhere from three to seven more miles per gallon out of a tank of gas than in the larger cylinder cousins it shares the road with. This will vary between two wheel and four wheel drive models as well as automatic versus manual transmission versions. A four wheeled automatic will expend a great deal more fuel per mile than a two wheel drive manual transmission for instance. This fuel economy can be greatly enhanced if an individual were to purchase a modern hybrid SUV as well.

There are several options for a four cylinder SUV. There are diesel versions http://www.authentic49ersstore.com/49ers-Jeremiah-Attaochu-Draft-Je... , hybrid versions, and regular gas versions. The key is to determine a price point and purpose for purchasing the 4 cylinder SUV.

As far as diesel versions go they will generally not has a great an amount of fuel economy as far as miles per gallon goes, but the price of diesel is cheaper in some areas than gasoline and this translates to a cheaper overall ride. The Jeep Liberty is a good suggestion in regards to a quality diesel based SUV. As far as hybrids go the cheapest on the market in 2009 was the Saturn Vue Hybrid. It had the worst fuel economy but the largest gas tank. It only got twenty-five miles per gallon in the city and thirty-two on the highway. However, overall it was a good bargain and the hybrid nature placed it in line with many standard gas consuming vehicles.
