Free Will Trumps Determinism In Gulf Politics – OpEd

China’s mediation to normalise Saudi-Iranian diplomatic ties has been widely welcomed internationally, especially in the West Asian region. A clutch of unhappy states that do not want to see China stealing a march on any front, even if it advances the cause of world peace, mutely watched.

The Prisoner Dilemma: Insurrectionary Anarchism and the Cospito Affair

Abstract: Italy is a crucial epicenter of insurrectionary anarchism, a transnational extremist tendency that promotes “self-organized” illegal and violent actions, even against people. In particular, over the last two decades, dozens of acts of violence, including letter bombs, homemade bombs, and shootings, have been claimed under the banner of the Informal Anarchist Federation (Federazione Anarchica Informale, FAI), a loosely connected network that has also fostered relationships with likeminded groups abroad. The Italian counterterrorism system has successfully addressed this threat with aggressive rules, measures, and practices, that, in part, derive directly or indirectly from the long fight against the Mafia. However, today Italian authorities face a new challenge, posed by the case of Alfredo Cospito, an influential exponent of the FAI network who started an indefinite hunger strike in prison in October 2022. The handling of the Cospito affair highlights the complex political, legal, and ethical dilemmas that liberal democracies have to address in combating terrorism.

Arab Plan For Syria Puts US And Europe In A Bind – Analysis

Why is this place on the globe, like a magnet, attracting the interests of America’s greedy business circles?

Leveraging Lives: Serbia and Illegal Tunisian Migration to Europe

In 2020–2022, Tunisian illegal migrants traveled through Serbia to reach Western Europe, as an alternative to the hazardous, more monitored Mediterranean route. This was driven by push factors in Tunisia, including deteriorating economic conditions and government acquiescence, and pull factors in Europe, namely smuggling networks and Serbian authorities looking the other way. While the route was sealed for Tunisians in November 2022, as long as transit states can use illegal migration to secure geopolitical leverage, such actions will continue.

La limite de la patience russe

L’histoire du Tribunal de La Haye est symbolique. La Russie ne s’est jamais interrogée sur la nature de cette institution. En réalité, elle fait partie de la mise en œuvre du gouvernement mondial, un système politique supranational créé au-dessus des États-nations qui sont invités à céder une partie de leur souveraineté à cette structure. Cela inclut la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme et l’UE elle-même, mais aussi la Banque mondiale, le Fonds monétaire international, l’OMS, etc. La Société des Nations, puis l’ONU, ont été conçues comme une étape préparatoire à l’établissement d’un gouvernement mondial.

Xi’s Visit To Russia And Takeaways For India – Analysis

That the world is getting even more polarized with each passing day was underscored by two visits this week – Chinese President Xi Jinping’s trip to Russia and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s to Ukraine. While Kishida’s visit was all about showing solidarity with the Ukrainians, the Chinese President ostensibly had a more grandiose aim of trying to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine, though in reality, it was primarily aimed at cementing the Sino-Russian axis.
