07/25/2006 Nonostante in Cecenia continui la crisi umanitaria e la popolazione civile dipenda tuttora dagli aiuti provenienti dall'estero, il governo russo ha emesso una nuova normativa che renderą ancora pił difficile il lavoro delle organizzazioni umanitarie. Secondo quanto riporta l'agenzia Reuters, d'ora in avanti tutti i collaboratori delle organizzazioni non governative (Ong) e umanitarie potranno muoversi sul territorio ceceno solo con apposite autorizzazioni dei servizi di sicurezza russi, le autorizzazioni per un viaggio in Cecenia dovranno essere richieste con settimane di anticipo e ogni collaboratore dovrą essere registrato dai servizi segreti russi FSB - denuncia l'Associazione per i popoli minacciati. Gią agli inizi di giugno le organizzazioni operanti in Cecenia erano state invitate a attenersi alla nuova normativa. Nel frattempo in Cecenia continua la persecuzione degli attivisti per i diritti umani: dal 1994 a oggi sono stati uccisi almeno 13 attivisti, molti hanno potuto salvarsi solo lasciando il paese.

Prodotti del commercio equo - da altromercato.it
07/12/2006 E' stata approvata a grande maggioranza all'Europarlamento di Strasburgo la Relazione sul Commercio Equo e Solidale recentemente discussa alla Commissione Sviluppo dell'UE, e fortemente discussa ed emendata dalle stesse reti internazionali del Commercio Equo a cui l'italiana Agices, Assemblea Generale Italiana del Commercio Equo e Solidale, aderisce e partecipa. Una risoluzione importante, che permette di porre nuovamente al centro della discussione politica della Commissione la necessitą di una revisione nei termini di maggiore equitą e giustizia le dinamiche del commercio internazionale a partire da un settore in netta espansione. Le vendite dei prodotti del Commercio Equo infatti sono cresciute nei paesi dell'Unione di oltre il 20% dal 2000. E l'Unione Europea risulta essere il pił ampio mercato per i prodotti del Fair Trade, raccogliendo per il 60-70% delle vendite mondiali, cosa che le permetterebbe di assumere un ruolo guida nel sostenere il commercio equo.

Una sedie elettrica
07/09/2006 Prigionieri anziani e con disturbi mentali sono tra coloro che attendono decenni nei bracci della morte del Giappone, per essere poi messi a morte in segreto e senza preavviso. Le loro condanne sono state spesso emesse al termine di processi iniqui, basati su “confessioni” di crimini mai commessi, rese dopo interrogatori estenuanti, minacce e violenze. Questa č la realtą della pena di morte in Giappone, descritta in un rapporto intitolato diffuso ieri da Amnesty International in occasione di un incontro tra attivisti ed esperti sulla pena di morte della regione Asia-Pacifico, riuniti in questi giorni a Hong Kong. “Il Giappone č uno dei pochi paesi industrializzati che ancora compie omicidi di Stato” – ricorda Amnesty. “Abolendo la pena capitale, il Giappone darebbe un segnale di leadership nella regione Asia-Pacifico, che non sta procedendo al passo con la tendenza globale verso l’abolizione”. 125 Paesi hanno cancellato la pena di morte per legge o nella pratica.
