Manifesto Lav contro la sperimentazione sugli animali
03/24/2007 “La ricerca senza uso di animali č possibile. Sostienila”. Con questo appello oggi e domani la LAV sarą presente nelle principali piazze d’Italia per invitare i cittadini a firmare la petizione con la quale si chiede al Governo l’impegno a garantire l’uso e lo sviluppo dei metodi sostitutivi all’impiego di animali a fini sperimentali nell’Unione Europea. Dopo 20 anni sta per essere modificata la direttiva UE che disciplina la ricerca su animali: un'occasione unica per fare concreti passi in avanti verso una ricerca efficace e senza animali. Ogni anno, solo in Italia, quasi 1 milione di animali sono sottoposti a esperimenti crudeli, che non forniscono neppure dati utili alla salute umana. "Le alternative gią esistono: ogni anno potrebbero essere salvati 43mila animali in Italia e 300mila in tutta l'Ue" - riporta la Lav.

Detenuti a Guantanamo
03/23/2007 Alla vigilia dell’avvio delle udienze delle commissioni militari de 26 marzo Amnesty International ha chiesto al governo Usa di rinunciare alle commissioni militari e sottoporre a processo i detenuti di Guantįnamo nelle corti ordinarie federali senza ricorso alla pena di morte. Amnesty sottolinea ancora una volta come i processi celebrati da questi organismi, istituiti dall’Atto sulle commissioni militari (Military Commissions Act, Mca), non rispettino gli standard internazionali e possano addirittura concludersi con una condanna a morte. Le commissioni militari operano infatti in una sorta di vuoto legale: gli imputati non possono appellarsi alle norme del diritto internazionale, alle Convenzioni di Ginevra o alla stessa Costituzione statunitense.

Sequestro d'armi a Gioia Tauro
03/21/2007 La campagna Control Arms ha chiesto a tutti i governi di garantire che le loro proposte in merito al Trattato sul commercio delle armi prevedano il divieto di trasferire armi che alimentano gravi violazioni dei diritti umani, conflitti e povertą. "In caso contrario - ammonisce la campagna - lo storico voto con cui lo scorso dicembre l’Assemblea generale dell’Onu ha dato il via ai lavori sul Trattato potrebbe risultare privo di senso". Il Regno Unito ha proposto un Trattato vincolante dal punto di vista giuridico che copra tutte le armi convenzionali e vieti esplicitamente i trasferimenti che alimentano gravi violazioni dei diritti umani, provocano conflitti, pregiudicano lo sviluppo e favoriscono criminalitą comune e terrorismo: la proposta di Londra riguarda tutti i trasferimenti di armi tra governi e quelli organizzati da singoli mediatori. In questo periodo, il Segretario Generale dell’Onu sta consultando tutti i governi su fattibilitą, ambito di competenze e parametri di riferimento del Trattato.

Immigrants rights protestor, San Francisco; May 1, 2006.
03/17/2007 SAN FRANCISCO, Mar 17 (OneWorld) - Politicians in Washington are debating the issue of immigration this week. Many Democrats want to create a guest worker program through which undocumented immigrants would be able to earn legalization over time. Conservative Republicans have their own ideas--from stepping up deportations, to building a fence along the U.S.-Mexican border, to punishing employers who hire undocumented workers.
