Opposing the Militarization of Youth

06/28/2005 The military is desperate for young people to fight in Iraq and they are doing everything they can to pull in young people: promising them a college education, big cash bonuses, and trying to guarantee that new enlistees won't get sent to the Middle East. Recruiters roam the halls of high schools luring students into conversation with free goods, rock climbing walls, war simulation video games, and, worst of all, fancy Hummers. Join CODEPINK and the national counter-recruitment movement in standing up to the military.

G8/Armes : Les exportations d�armes des pays du G8 alimentent la pauvret� et les atteintes aux droits humains

06/28/2005 Selon de nouvelles recherches dont les r�sultats sont publi�s ce mercredi 22 juin 2005, en exportant des armes de mani�re irresponsable dans certains des pays les plus pauvres et les plus touch�s par la guerre, les �tats du G8 ne tiennent pas leurs engagements de r�duire la pauvret�, de ramener la stabilit� et de faire respecter les droits humains. Des armes ont ainsi �t� export�es dans des pays comme la Colombie, le Myanmar (ex-Birmanie), les Philippines, la R�publique du Congo et le Soudan.

G8 betrays thousands of arms trade victims

06/27/2005 Gross human rights abusers will continue to get their hands on weapons as G8 foreign ministers fail to commit to negiotiate a tough Arms Trade Treaty. G8 countries together export more than 80% of the world�s arms.

Le armi nel libero mercato

06/27/2005 L'annuncio � apparso sui principali quotidiani europei e americani. Il governo nepalese chiede forniture per armi, sia militari che civili, "necessarie per le esigenze di sicurezza verso il popolo nepalese e nella guerra contro i maoisti". Nella lista c'� di tutto dai fucili alle munizioni, a carri armati, esplosivi, elicotteri, aerei, attrezzature per la comunicazione e di sicurezza, strumenti ottici. Nessun limite alla quantit�. L'idea � nata nei circoli militari nepalesi in risposta ad un tacito embargo di armi deciso a livello internazionale dopo che il primo febbraio scorso il re Gyanendra aveva licenziato tutto il governo concentrando in s� ogni potere. Con la cessazione, il 29 aprile scorso, dello stato di emergenza e le promesse ai leader di India, Gran Bretagna e Stati Uniti che la �democrazia� sarebbe stata presto ripristinata, il re si aspettava il ritorno degli aiuti e la fine dell'embargo di armi.

Weapons in Space

06/27/2005 Recent reports show the Bush administration continues to press for the militarization of space, claiming it would protect U.S. interests and ensure U.S. military dominance. Critics, however, dismiss the plan as not cost effective and unlikely to achieve its goals. But the greatest danger, writes economist Richard Kaufman, is that the program may increase global nuclear proliferation.

Banche armate risponde al Comitato della GMG

06/24/2005 La Campagna di pressione alle "banche armate" risponde al presidente del Comitato Italiano per il Sostegno Economico alla GMG, dott. Marcello Bedeschi sulla questione della pubblicit� presente sullo striscione della "Giornata Mondiale della Giovent� 2005" di Colonia, che annovera tra gli sponsor la Banca di Roma, la principale banca italiana per commesse nell'export di armi. �Nessuna "grave accusa" e nessuna "azione denigratoria� - precisa la replica della Campagna. Ci siamo limitati a porre alcune domande ed a riportare le informazioni contenute nella Relazione 2005 sull'export di armi�. �Stupisce, invece che il dott. Bedeschi riesca a formulare un comunicato senza mai citare la questione principale e cio� l'appoggio che Banca di Roma e il Gruppo Capitalia ha fornito non ad una generica "industria pesante", ma specificamente all'esportazione di armi italiane ricavandone, tra l'altro, "compensi di intermediazione" come la Relazione 2005 documenta in dettaglio�.

Amnesty: denuncia abusi dei G8 nell'export di armi

06/23/2005 "Gli Stati membri del G8 stanno pregiudicando il proprio impegno a ridurre la povert� e a favorire la stabilit� e i diritti umani a causa delle loro irresponsabili esportazioni di armi verso i paesi pi� poveri e maggiormente devastati dai conflitti". Lo denuncia una nuova ricerca della campagna "Control Arms (promossa da Amnesty International, Oxfam e Iansa e, in Italia, anche dalla Rete Disarmo), resa pubblica alla vigilia della riunione dei ministri degli Esteri dei paesi dei G8, prevista a Londra il 23 e 24 giugno. Le tre organizzazioni denunciano come Canada, Francia, Germania, Giappone, Italia, Regno Unito, Russia e Usa stiano trasferendo equipaggiamento militare, armi e munizioni verso paesi - tra cui Sudan, Myanmar, Repubblica del Congo, Colombia e Filippine - in cui queste forniture contribuiscono a gravi violazioni dei diritti umani.

Banca di Roma sponsor 'armato' della GMG 2005

06/20/2005 La Campagna di pressione alle "banche armate" ha inviato una "lettera aperta" chiedendo spiegazioni per lo striscione della CEI (Conferenza Episcopale Italiana) in arrivo in tutte le parrocchie dove, annunciando la "Giornata Mondiale della Giovent� 2005" di Colonia campeggia tra gli sponsor la Banca di Roma. "Ce n'era proprio bisogno?" - si chiedono i direttori delle tre riviste promotrici della Campagna (Mosaico di Pace, Nigrizia e Missione Oggi) che ritengono "innanzitutto discutibile e contrario alla testimonianza cristiana il dover esporre in Chiesa (e per due mesi!) striscioni con pubblicit� varie". Ma soprattutto favorire "banche - come la Banca di Roma - che appoggiano e sono coinvolte nel commercio delle armi". I direttori illustrano le ragioni di scelte pi� sobrie dicendosi "disponibili ad una riflessione seria, pacata e approfondita con diocesi, parrocchie, gruppi, associazioni, movimenti su questi temi che riguardano non solo i nostri stili di vita, ma la stessa nostra testimonianza cristiana".

Youth Gangs: Child Soldiers in a Different Kind of War

06/16/2005 Around the world, governments are offering child soldiers demobilization and rehabilitation programs, recognizing they are usually coerced into fighting and too young to fully understand their actions. Youth gang members, on the other hand, are routinely dealt with through imprisonment, lethal force, and even summary execution. But are the two situations really that different?
