The Invasion of Haiti: How the UN Was Complicit in Crime

The "international community" is often cited as either a bulwark against US imperialism, or as a counter-force to sovereign states which butcher their own people. In Haiti, it managed to be complicit with both. Read more >>

Against "Human Rights"

The Kosovo war was fought "not for territory but for values" according to Tony Blair. The bombing of Afghanistan in 2001 was conducted to help "the oppressed people of Afghanistan", according to George W. Bush, so that they may know "the generosity of America and our allies". Meanwhile, according to Jack Straw, stopping the bombing "would only prolong the suffering of the Afghan people". Pro-war adepts could easily adduce similar comforting thoughts about the war waged on Iraq in March 2003. The ideology of human rights is not only unversalist, but also universally accepted. Human rights organisations now regularly call for "humanitarian intervention" and decry the lack of attention to such crisis spots as the Democratic Republic of Congo. David Rieff notes that humanitarian organisations are now "among the most fervent interventionists". From a politics of fence-sitting to one of active political engagement, the ‘human rights’ movement has conducted a rapid and striking volte-face in the past decade, a paradigm-shift of shocking proportions. It is as if Ptolemy and Aristotle had given way to Copernicus and Descartes in ten, instead of 200, years. And David Chandler, for one, would like to know why...

Judge Blunkett

Blunkett - "I am working very hard on this because I haven't given up on the idea that we are going to be able to nail this individual."
Now is it appropriate for a member of the legislature, a home sec. no less, to go around saying he is going to nail someone. At the very least is it a good use of his time.

I have no idea if this man is guilty, I'm pretty sure he did not receive a fair trial, what I do hope is that he is innocent and this is proven and he 'nails' Blunkett in the libel courts. Read more >>
