YK siirtyi Libanonissa hätäavusta jälleenrakentamiseen 10/30/2006 YK:n avustusjärjestöt lopettavat hätäavun toimittamisen Libanoniin ja keskittyvät nyt YK:n kehitysohjelman UNDP:n johdolla maan jälleenrakentamiseen. Sota aiheutti hallituksen arvion mukaan 3,6 miljardin dollarin vahingot, mutta jälleenrakennus nähdään myös mahdollisuutena vahvistaa maan demokratiaa, vakautta ja kehitystä.

Iraq: stimato in 650mila vittime il prezzo della guerra 10/25/2006 Il conflitto iniziato nel marzo 2003 è già costato la vita ad almeno 650mila persone, una perdita del due per cento della popolazione irachena. E' la stima fatta da un team della Johns Hopkins University e pubblicata dalla rivista scientifica britannica Lancet. E mentre le ultime cronache parlano di 754 mila iracheni sfollati, il governo di Baghdad ha dato l'ordine alle autorità sanitarie del paese di non fornire più all'Onu i dati sulle perdite umane, così da non dare altro rilievo ai costi della guerra per i civili. Nei giorni scorsi l’Alto Commissariato delle Nazioni Unite per i Rifugiati (UNHCR) ha rinnovato la preoccupazione per il continuo aumento della popolazione in fuga dall’Iraq, sia all’interno sia all’esterno del paese, a causa della violenza e del deteriorarsi delle condizioni di sicurezza: secondo l’Agenzia dall'inizio del conflitto 754mila iracheni sono diventati sfollati interni e ogni mese circa 40mila iracheni continuano ad arrivare nella sola Siria.

U.S., Global Publics Shun Torture 10/24/2006 NEW YORK, Oct 24 (OneWorld) - A majority of people around the world reject the use of torture even if it is supposed to extract information that could save lives from terrorism, pollsters say. The finding suggests there is little support at home and abroad for President George W. Bush's defense of the abuse of terror suspects.

Iraq: aumentano gli sfollati, mancano i fondi - riporta Unhcr 10/14/2006 "Crescente preoccupazione per il rapido deterioramento della situazione umanitaria che centinaia di migliaia di rifugiati e sfollati iracheni devono affrontare": lo riporta l’Alto Commissariato delle Nazioni Unite per i Rifugiati (Unhcr) che nei giorni scorsi ha incontrato i governi donatori ad Amman, in Giordania. L’esodo causato da continui episodi di violenza da parte di fazioni rivali in Iraq ha reso necessaria una riorganizzazione del lavoro dell’Agenzia e delle sue priorità nella regione: oltre all’assistenza al rimpatrio e all’aiuto a circa 50mila rifugiati non iracheni residenti in Iraq, l’Agenzia sta infatti potenziamento l’assistenza ad alcune tra le decine di migliaia di iracheni che stanno fuggendo dalle proprie case. L'agenzia Onu stima in più di 1,5 milioni le persone sfollate all’interno dello stesso Iraq. Ma al budget richiesto dall’Unhcr per le operazioni in Iraq per il 2006 - pari a 29 milioni di dollari - mancano ancora di 9 milioni di dollari mentre nuovi gruppi vulnerabili hanno urgente bisogno di assistenza.

APM: contro la discriminazione di 15 milioni di Kurdi in Turchia 10/04/2006 In occasione del viaggio in Turchia della Cancelliera tedesca Angela Merkel, l'Associazione per i Popoli Minacciati (APM) si è appellata affinché ci si impegni per la fine della discriminazione di 15 milioni dei Kurdi in Turchia e per il riconoscimento paritetico della lingua kurda. "Continua infatti la discriminazione e la repressione nei confronti di giornalisti kurdi, scrittori e altre personalità impegnate politicamente che rivendicano il proprio diritto alla libera espressione d'opinione, come accade a 56 sindaci della regione kurda processati per aver chiesto al governo danese di non proibire, come invece ha fatto il governo turco, l'emittente televisiva satellitare kurda Roj-TV" - nota il comunicato. L'associazione bolzanina chiede che la Turchia ponga fine alla discriminazione della popolazione kurda da parte delle autorità provinciali turche, dei tribunali e dei dipendenti pubblici e smetta il boicottaggio nei confronti della vicina regione kurda irachena.
