22.09.2006 SAN FRANCISCO, Sep 22 (OneWorld) - The number of people making asylum claims in the United States, Japan, Australia, and Europe continues to decline, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) reported this week, but that doesn't mean fewer people are fleeing their homes as refugees.

Break the chains of debt
12.09.2006 Despite its importance, consideration of foreign debt over the last few years has been diffuse and blurred. Whereas in the 1980s foreign debt was the focus of argument, twenty years later it appears as a marginal issue, as much in discussion of public policy on the development financing of alternatives to the current model as in critical theory.

Memoriale dell'11 settembre
11.09.2006 Cinque anni dopo l’11 settembre, nel mondo - accanto alla rinnovata commozione per le vittime degli attacchi al World Trade Center e al Pentagono - sui quotidiani di tutto si svolge un acceso dibattito sulla guerra al terrorismo e sulla sicurezza negli Stati Uniti. Il numero dei soldati Usa uccisi in Afghanistan e in Iraq ha da tempo superato di gran lunga il bilancio ufficiale delle vittime degli attentati del 2001, la popolarità del presidente George W. Bush è stagnante intorno al 30%, mentre diversi sondaggi rivelano che il mondo si sente meno sicuro e diffida della politica estera degli Stati Uniti. Critiche si levano innanzitutto in Gran Bretagna, principale alleato degli Usa nella guerra contro quello che viene definito “asse del male”: solo il 7% dei cittadini britannici crede che la guerra anglo-statunitense riuscirà a risolvere la situazione - riporta l'agenzia Misna in un'ampia rassegna della stampa internazionale.

11.09.2006 Sitoutumattomien maiden liike (NAM) syntyi 1960-luvulla, kun kylmä sota Yhdysvaltain ja Neuvostoliiton välillä oli kuumimmillaan. Nyt Kuubassa kokoontuva NAM uskoo, että sillä on tehtävää myös "yksinapaisessa" maailmassa. Kuuba nousee samalla 116-jäsenisen järjestön puheenjohtajaksi. Leikkauksesta toipuvan presidentti Fidel Castron on ennakkotietojen mukaan määrä isännöidä ainakin päättäjäisillallinen.

Afrikan unionin rauhanturvaajia
05.09.2006 Sudanin hallitus ilmoitti maanantaina, ettei se halua Darfuriin YK:n rauhanturvaajia. Afrikan unionin rauhanturvaajat saavat sen sijaan jäädä, jos joukkojen vahvuus pysyy nykyisenä ja niiden mandaattia pidennetään. Nykyisellään mandaatin on määrä päättyä Darfurissa syyskuun lopussa, minkä jälkeen alueen pelätään ajautuvaan täysimittaiseen sotaan.
