  The struggle has barely begun
Reflections of Fidel (Taken from CubaDebate) GOVERNMENTS might change, but the instruments with which they converted us into colonies are still the same. For one president in the United States with a sense of ethics, in the last 28 years we have had three who committed...... [view]

  WWII, a war which changed the world
MOSCOW. (RIA Novosti military correspondent Ilya Kramnik) - World War II was the bloodiest war in human history. It ended in Europe on May 9, 1945, and continued for another four months, until Japan's surrender, although its outcome had already been predetermined. Participants in the war began to...... [view]

  A question to which there is no answer
Reflections of Fidel (Taken from CubaDebate) OUR world is not only threatened by cyclical economic crises that are steadily becoming more serious and frequent. Unemployment, ruin and fabulous losses of goods and wealth are the inseparable companions of the blind laws of...... [view]

  The day of the poor of the world
REFLECTIONS BY COMRADE FIDEL Tomorrow is International Workers Day. Karl Marx made a call for unity: "Workers of All Countries, Unite," although many poor people were not proleterian. Lenin called more broadly still for the peasants and colonized peoples to struggle united under the...... [view]

  The Summit and the lie
Reflections of Fidel SOME of the things that Daniel told me would be hard to believe if it was not him who told me them and it was not at a Summit of the Americas where they occurred. The unusual thing is that there was no such consensus on the final document. The ALBA group did not...... [view]

  Officers with sound beliefs
(Taken from Cubadebate) IT is not known how many people in the United States write to Obama and how many different issues they put to him. Obviously, he cannot read all the letters and tackle every issue, because neither the 24 hours of the day and the 365 days of the year would be...... [view]

  Meeting with Chilean President Michelle Bachelet
Reflections of Fidel: (Taken from CubaDebate) IT doesn’t matter what I say about our friendly meeting; some news agencies and publications will take the information and say the old man, the one convalescing from a serious illness, or some other adjective aimed at reducing the modest...... [view]

  Will Obama go further than Reagan in Reykjavik?
(RIA Novosti political commentator Andrei Fedyashin) - Moscow as well as other capitals expected U.S. President Barack Obama to be more explicit on foreign policy issues at his first news conference.

  Contradictions between the politics of Obama and ethics
Reflections of Fidel: THE other day I noted some of Obama’s ideas that point to his role within a system that is the negation of every just principle. There are people who throw up their hands in horror at the expression of any critical opinion of this important figure, even when it is...... [view]

  Unofficial monitoring of compliance with arms control treaties: a survey'
Submitted By:   rbruneau
Author Name:  Richard Bruneau
Published:  0000-00-00
Website:  http://www.carleton.ca/cctc/docs/CC2.pdf
  Description:   This study aims to gauge the extent of unofficial monitoring of state compliance with multilateral treaties that deal with arms control, disarmament and nonproliferation. Specifically, it attempts to discover the degree to which unofficial monitoring is carried out to assess state party compliance with particular obligations in a given treaty. The report reveals very few examples of such unofficial monitoring. There are numerous research projects that monitor, study and analyze weapons, weapons systems and weapons technology, or state behaviour and other developments with regard to treaties. This is especially evident in the area of weapons of mass destruction. But such efforts rarely seek to relate the information and analysis they produce to precise treaty requirements and none do so systematically for all treaties and treaty parties. Landmine Monitor, which monitors compliance with the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty by states parties and signatories (and even states still outside the treaty altogether), is the only unofficial monitoring endeavour that is systematic and comprehensive. It has demonstrated, for the first time, both the feasibility of unofficial monitoring and its potential for mitigating the inadequacies of official treaty monitoring and verification. Similar projects are emerging for the 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention and in the sphere of small arms and light weapons (for which there are no multilateral disarmament or arms control treaties).

  Blood at the Crossroads: Making the case for a global Arms Trade Treaty
Submitted By:   rbruneau
Author Name:  Amnesty International
Published:  2008-09-17
Website:  http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/ACT30/011/2008/en/19ea0e74-8329-11dd-8e5e-43ea85d15a69/act300112008en.pdf
  Description:   The world is reaching a crossroads in deciding how to control the arms trade. Governments must act now to create effective and robust regulation. This report shows through illustrative cases how that trade contributes to serious violations of human rights in different parts of the world. In particular, it seeks to help demonstrate why the establishment of a global Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) is an urgent necessity and how an ATT could work to save lives, preserve livelihoods and enhance respect for human rights.
