27.03.2006 Per i palestinesi “non cambierà niente”. Una vittoria di Kadima alle elezioni israeliane, con la conferma di Olmert alla guida del governo e quindi la realizzazione del suo piano di ritiro unilaterale dalla Cisgiordania non metterà fine della guerra. Ne è convinta la maggioranza (55,5%) dei palestinesi, per il 31,3% dei quali “la guerra continuerà”, mentre il 40,8% è convinto che il ritiro unilaterale non contribuirà alla sicurezza di Israele, come invece crede il 26,5%. Sono alcuni dei risultati, resi noti oggi e inviati ad AsiaNews, di un’indagine condotta dal Palestinian Center for Public Opinion (PCPO), un centro indipendente che dal 1994 studia l’opinione pubblica palestinese, diretto da Nabil Kukali, cristiano, che è anche professore alla Hebron University, in Cisgiordania. In controtendenza, rispetto al pessimismo sul programma di Olmert, il fatto che, anche se il consenso maggiore (48%) va alla affermazione che “nessun partito” israeliano è in grado di risolvere il conflitto israelo-palestnese, il 50,9% qualche possibilità la concede.

27.03.2006 The world is busy exploring ways to tap the economic opportunities China and India, two countries emerging to be the world’s economic and technological hubs, offer.

Manifestazione in Usa contro le violenze della polizia
23.03.2006 Migliaia di lesbiche, gay, bisessuali e transessuali (Lgbt) negli Usa sono vittime di un sistema che alimenta la discriminazione e facilita la tortura, i maltrattamenti e l’impunità. Lo afferma un rapporto di Amnesty International che denuncia gli abusi commessi dalla polizia statunitense sulla base dell’orientamento sessuale o dell’identità di genere. Il rapporto contiene testimonianze raccolte da Amnesty tra il 2003 e il 2005 provenienti anche da vittime di violenza di genere e di abusi da parte della polizia, attivisti per i diritti umani, avvocati e appartenenti alle forze dell’ordine. “Queste testimonianze svelano un modello assai chiaro e preoccupante. Casi di percosse, violenza sessuale, abusi verbali, minacce e umiliazioni da parte delle forze di polizia contro persone Lgbt si verificano ogni giorno in centri di detenzione, prigioni, abitazioni private e in strada” – si legge nel rapporto. Negli Usa esistono ancora alcune legislazioni discriminatorie verso Lfbt e a determinare l’arresto e l’imprigionamento è spesso solo l’orientamento sessuale o l’identità di genere della vittima – afferma Amnesty.

20.03.2006 The Wildlife Protection Act, 1976, is under the scanner again. The mainstay of biodiversity protection in India, the act has undergone only one major amendment — in January 2003 — since it was promulgated. Some of the changes then were substantial and at least had the potential of infusing new life to a moribund wildlife protection regime. The time, it seems, has come for the act to undergo major changes for the second time. Some amendments have been tabled in parliament, and a few more are on the anvil.
