Climate Change and Corporate Litigation Anxiety

14-10-2006 16:52 | Analysis | Ecology | Globalisation | World

A recent news item on NPR this week -- legal action against the automotive industry in the USA for its complicity in global warming -- has let the ‘bull’ out of the bag; the ‘cat’ has bolted; the unmentionable has finally been plainly stated! Nothing occurs in a vacuum and climate change is no exception. Liable groups/parties/corporations continue to lobby governments and manipulate public opinion in their efforts to minimise any litigation arising from their complicity in poisoning our planet. Present reality dictates that the future tenability of numerous species, including humans is under threat; nevertheless, profits and economic factors remain the primary consideration for leaders of industry and governments. [This criminally perverse view will ironically prove to be the most expensive error of judgement in human history.]

Thousands Fleeing Iraq Daily in Silent Exodus

13-10-2006 20:02 | Anti-militarism | World

The U.N. refugee agency said thousands of Iraqis are fleeing the country every day in a "steady, silent exodus". While about 50,000 Iraqis returned home from neighbouring countries last year, only 1,000 did this year, thanks to the ongoing war and the increasing sectarian violence it created in the country.

Report to UN Disability Convention on use of ASBO's/Injunctions against Disabled

13-10-2006 15:18 | Education | Repression | Social Struggles | World

There is a continued misue and abuse and 'criminalisation of disabled peoples behaviour' of using ASBO's and Injunctions against all disabled people (both Children and Adults). I myself as a disabled people basic human rights and civil liberities activist and researcher have experienced this here in the East Riding of Yorkshire, UK.

In my voluntary work within the UN Disability Convention I have brought this to the attention (again) of the UN Convention and you can read my emailed report that I have sent today to some of my colleagues and peers within the UN Disability Convention and Disabled People's Movement and also Anne McGuire, Minister for Disabled People

Yet another Show Trial in the UK?

13-10-2006 00:05 | Anti-racism | World

This sounds like a Show Trial to me, full of strange inconsistencies: is this man mentally fit to be tried? He has been accused of all manner of extravagant plots but they're all on paper, there are no known fellow 'conspirators', he has no funds to carry-out any of the alleged projects and there is no evidence that any atrocities were being prepared! Yet the man pleads guilty in a high-security court and judgement is to be made in circumstances of even higher security. Is this nothing more than another in a long line of political trials where a mentally vulnerable man is being victimised by the British state and its thought police?
