06/30/2005 From T-Mobile commercials to the popular TV drama "24," images of torture abound in U.S. pop culture these days. Chalk it up to harmless bits of Hollywood imagination, or a dangerous phenomenon desensitizing Americans to the real life torture and misery taking place at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib?

Le Nazioni Unite
06/30/2005 L'audizione dell'Onu con le Ong, che si è tenuta nei giorni scorsi al Palazzo di Vetro, è stata un primo passo significativo di una nuova concertazione tra società civile e Nazioni Unite che dovrà caratterizzare i prossimi mesi, in vista del Millennium Summit +5 di settembre, per poi diventare un meccanismo permanente. "E' un risultato positivo per le Ong" - ha affermato Sergio Marelli, Presidente dell'Associazione Ong Italiane, "che chiedono questa interazione da anni". Prima richiesta unanime da parte di tutte le Ong è stata la creazione di un "Consiglio Permanente per i Diritti Umani", proposta sostenuta anche dall'Unione Europea. Un organo composto da un numero ristretto di Stati, il cui meccanismo di selezione prediliga il coinvolgimento di Stati che realmente applicano e rispettano i diritti umani, che abbia potere sanzionatorio e che preveda la piena partecipazione della società civile e delle Ong. E di rifoma dell'Onu tratterà anche il "Quinto vertice dell'Unione africana" (Ua) che vedrà riuniti a Sirte, in Libia, il 4 e 5 luglio, almeno due terzi dei capi di Stato africani.

06/29/2005 Uzbekistan’s Andijan massacre has yet to be independently investigated, largely because of Washington infighting; Rumsfeld's Defense Department is blocking an inquiry called for by Rice's State Department, explains veteran jounalist Ahmed Rashid. By doing so, the U.S. is giving Uzbek president Islam Karimov exactly what he wants: dwindling media coverage and a chance to slip off the international agenda.
