02/27/2008 It’s been more than a year now since the State of Emergency was imposed in Bangladesh. More than 250,000 people have faced arrests during this period. The Asian Legal Resource Centre has documented numerous cases of arbitrary arrests, often carried out at a scale that is difficult to fathom in many other countries.

02/26/2008 Alain-Gérard Slama
Edizioni Spirali, 2006, pp. 327, €25

Il volume, insignito del Grand Prix dell’Accademie de France, affronta i temi oggi centrali della rappresentanza parlamentare e sindacale, del dialogo sociale, del ruolo della società civile, del federalismo, del multiculturalismo, dei conflitti di memoria, delle discriminazioni positive, della laicità, dell'esclusione e della penalizzazione dei rapporti sociali. "L'Italia e la Francia sono senz'altro i paesi che, per ragioni differenti, risultano più fortemente implicati in tali questioni: l'Italia perché l'unità dello Stato risale a tempi non lontani, la Francia perché deve la sua unità allo Stato e perché non esisteva prima dello Stato in quanto nazione" - scrive l'autore.

02/22/2008 Tansanian pääministeriksi nimitetty Mizengo Peter Pinda on politiikassa vielä melko tuntematon hahmo, vaikka hän onkin pitkän linjan byrokraatti ja lakimies. Pindalla on tiiviit yhteydet maan poliittiseen eliittiin, ja häntä pidetään luotettavana johtajana.

02/20/2008 "In mancanza d'opzioni migliori e senza aver trovato una soluzione originale alla lancinante questione dello statuto del Kosovo la comunità internazionale si è decisa a sostenere la nascita di un nuovo Stato" - scrive Christophe Solioz in questo commento per l'Osservatorio sui Balcani che dedica uno speciale dossier al Kosovo. "Dietro ai discorsi degli internazionali presenti in Kosovo, ripresi in parte con servilismo dalla nuova classe politica kosovara, vi è un Kosovo che non è multietnico non essendolo mai stato, ma piuttosto profondamente diviso. In effetti, come prima del 1999, la società kosovara rimane strutturata attorno alla divisione tra serbi e albanesi ed è caratterizzata dall'apartheid. E questo significa il fallimento della comunità internazionale. Mitrovica ne è il simbolo: i serbi vivono in Kosovo in ghetti e le altre comunità minoritarie non-albanesi non sono più privilegiate".

02/06/2008 Sarebbero oltre 40mila i profughi in fuga dal Ciad verso il Camerun dopo gli intensi combattimenti avvenuti nel fine settimana nella capitale N’Djamena: lo riporta all'agenzia Misna il portavoce della Croce Rossa del Camerun. L'Unhcr ha inviato mezzi di soccorso nella città camerunense di Kousseri, dove continua il flusso di persone terrorizzate. Medici Senza Frontiere (MSF) sta assistendo feriti a N’Djamena dove gli ospedali riportano "centinaia di feriti". Il Consiglio di Sicurezza dell'Onu ha chiesto "l'immediata sospensione delle violenze" e sostiene l'iniziativa dell'Unione Africana per trovare una soluzione alla crisi: i ribelli ciadiani hanno chiesto le dimissioni del presidente Deby e accusano la Francia di "aver aperto il fuoco causando vittime civili". Amnesty International chiede al governo ciadiano l'immediato rilascio di quattro leader dell’opposizione arrestati dallo scorso weekend.
