Una coalizione di 55 Ong europee ha presentato oggi a L'Aia un rapporto nel quale segnala numerose scappatoie e carenze nel Codice di condotta dell'Ue sui trasferimenti di armi. Le Ong chiedono che il Codice sia rafforzato e denunciano la poca volontà politica dell'Ue per portare a compimento la revisione. Tra il 1994 e il 2001, l'Ue ha esportato 20 miliardi di dollari di armi verso paesi del Terzo mondo. Intanto in prossimità del lancio in Italia della "Campagna sulle armi leggere", la Rete italiana per il disarmo organizza dall'1 al 3 ottobre un momento di formazione: ultimi posti disponibili.

Amnestyn mukaan vuosittain noin 90 000 suomalaisnaista joutuu kokemaan väkivaltaa, jonka tekijänä on oma puoliso. Järjestön mukaan palveluiden taso on monessa kunnassa täysin riittämätön, vaikka juuri kunnilla ja niiden poliittisilla päättäjillä on avainasema väkivaltakierteen katkaisemisessa. Amnesty haastaakin kuntavaaliehdokkaat keskustelemaan naisiin kohdistuvan väkivallan estämisen keinoista vaalipaneeleissaan.

Joka vuosi kymmenettuhannet meksikolaiset lapset ja nuoret yrittävät ylittää Yhdysvaltain rajan ilman viisumia. Moni pyrkii rajan ylitse kirjaimellisesti henkensä kaupalla. Ihmisten salakuljettajien käsissä alaikäiset ovat kaikkein heikoimmilla. He joutuvat usein kaltoin kohdelluiksi tai heidät huijataan tai pakotetaan salakuljettamaan kiellettyjä tavaroita tai huumeita.
