La
XX Assemblea Generale dell’ONU (1965)

minazione e

"L'Assemblea
Generale dichiara che: la soggezione dei
popoli a dominio straniero, conquista e
asservimento costituisce una negazione
dei diritti umani fondamentali, è
contraria alla Carta delle Nazioni Unite
ed è un impedimento alla promozione
della pace e della cooperazione mondiali.
Tutti i popoli hanno diritto
all' autodeter-
minazione; in virtù di
tale diritto essi devono liberamente
determinare il loro status politico e
liberamente perseguire il loro sviluppo
economico, sociale e culturale". |

This Shame is Yours.
Layla Anwar, An Arab Woman Blues |
So what's with this endless torture business in Iraq ? Fawziya al-Jashami said she had seen "horrific traces" of torture during a visit to a prison in the southern Province of Babel of which Hilla is the capital. "I saw types of torture which are so vicious and horrific that I cannot describe them as a woman. "It is a kind of sexual torture which one is ashamed to talk about and occurs for the first time in Iraq," Jashami, who heads the Human Rights Committee in the province, said. ...Hey, I thought the "Tyrant" and his regime were the ones who tortured...Did you not tell us about humans minced in meat machines then? Of course, all came out to be lies. But now, today, this hour, this minute, is where real torture is taking place in "democratic and free Iraq." I've written about Torture before, and I did mention Iraq's underworld. Out of sight, out of mind... Well, thank you Fawzia Al-Jashami, for your courage. As an Iraqi woman, today, in "free Iraq" it must have been very difficult for you to even utter the lines you did... But please Fawzia, don't be shy, timid, nor ashamed. Call things by their names. Leave aside your "pudeur - your "modesty", erase it from your dictionary of morals. In today's Iraq there are no morals left. So why are you so worried about words ?...

Israel's navy seizes 'Humanity' ship off Gaza
Ma'an News |
Israeli naval forces intercepted and boarded, and took control of a converted ferry bound for Gaza, towing its passengers, crew, and cargo to Israel’s port of Ashdod on Tuesday afternoon. Activists aboard the ship, dubbed the 'Spirit of Humanity" denounced the action as a violation of international law. "This is an outrageous violation of international law against us. Our boat was not in Israeli waters, and we were on a human rights mission to the Gaza Strip," said Cynthia McKinney, a former US Congresswoman who was on board, according to a statement relayed through compatriots in Cyprus, where the boat left on Monday...

Obama’s Quiet War
Jeremy Scahill
In a new interview, Obama said he has "no intention" of sending US troops into Pakistan. But US troops are already in the country and US drones attack Pakistan regularly. Three days after his inauguration, on January 23, 2009, President Barack Obama ordered US predator drones to attack sites inside of Pakistan, reportedly killing 15 people. It was the first documented attack ordered by the new US Commander in Chief inside of Pakistan. Since that first Obama-authorized attack, the US has regularly bombed Pakistan, killing scores of civilians. The New York Times reported that the attacks were clear evidence Obama "is continuing, and in some cases extending, Bush administration policy." In the first 99 days of 2009, more than 150 people were reportedly killed in these drone attacks. The most recent documented attack was reportedly last Thursday in Waziristan. Since 2006, the US drone strikes have killed 687 people (as of April)...
