The Convention on Refugees at 70: A Conversation with Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield

On July 28th, the world will mark the 70th anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations’ 1951 Refugee Convention, a historic multilateral agreement that clarified the rights of refugees under international law and the obligation of host countries to provide for their protection.

Uniunea Europeană are o problemă

Uniunea Europeană are o problemă.

Nu, nu alea la care vă gîndiți voi. Da, știu, UE are probleme multe. Însă, dincolo de acestea, începe să aibă din ce în ce mai mult și o problemă de legitimitate.

The Globalization of Far-Right Extremism: An Investigative Report

Abstract: The fact that right-wing extremists are cooperating internationally more than ever today is a reality recognized by most researchers and government officials. This article describes some of the mechanisms that are fueling this development. The main finding is that right-wing extremists today, in many cases, no longer subscribe to the narrow concept of nationalism but instead imagine themselves as participants in a global struggle against a global enemy. Consequently, networking and cooperating across borders is seen as a necessity. This process is further supported by shared ideological writings, technological advancement, and the conflict in Ukraine, which has served as a powerful accelarator.

Din țara puțoilor întârziați. Arhetip cu Octavian Hoandră

Observ că nimeni, nici dintre politicieni, nici din ”opinia publică” nu și asumă eșecul pentru ”realizările” acestor puțoi obraznici, pluseriști, care delabrează țara. Asta demonstrează clar cum sunt pervertite si falsificate valorile cu care spunem intotdeauna in gura mare că ne place să trăim.

President Joe Biden and German Chancellor Angela Merkel failed on Thursday to settle their dispute over Russia’s Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline.

“Good friends can disagree,” Biden told reporters after two meetings with Merkel at the White House.

Biden said he expressed his long-standing concerns to Merkel about the $11 billion pipeline, which would deliver gas from the Arctic to Germany via the Baltic Sea, bypassing Ukraine and depriving it of valuable transit fees.

The project is led by Russian state energy company Gazprom and its Western partners.

To hære dur ikke

Hvis Afghanistan og Libanon skal undgå at eksplodere i nye borgerkrige, er Pakistan og Iran nødt til at indstille deres spekulation i Taleban-bevægelsen og Hizbollah-militsen.

Afganlar’ın çilesi bitmiyor!

ABD’nin kurulu düzenleri yıkabilecek askerî güce sahip olmasına rağmen yeni bir düzen inşâ etme gücünden yoksun bulunduğunun son göstergelerinden birisi, Afganistan. ABD 20 yıllık işgâlin ardından Afganistan’dan çekiliyor. ABD, Taliban rejimini yıkıp sözde ‘yeni ulus inşâsı’ iddiasıyla Afganistan’ı işgal etmişti. Irak’ta da görüldüğü üzere ABD sadece “kaos” inşâ edebiliyor. Orta halli Amerikan vergi mükelleflerinin cebinden çıkan paralarla oluşturulan kaostan istifa edenlerse “Askeri Endüstriyel-Kongre-Akademi-Medya Kompleksi’ oluyor.
