George Shultz on Abolition
2008-04-09 00:32:00 If you can get past the partisan material that plasters the National Review Online, Uncommon Knowledge's Peter Robinson recently held some interesting talks with former Secretary of State George Shultz on "A World Free of Nuclear Weapons." The interview online is composed of five segments, between two and eight minutes apiece, each addressing essentially one topic related to nukes. Episode 1 discusses the inefficacy of using the Cold War's bipolar, state-centric deterrence model in today's world. First of all, there are now more and maybe increasing numbers of countries with nuclear weapons.... [This is a content summary only. Click on the above link for the full post.]

The abolition of slavery
2008-01-31 18:52:00 Tomorrow, the 1st of February, we celebrate the 173rd anniversary of the abolition of slavery in Mauritius. This day means a lot to me; it is a public holiday. Well, on the other hand it's great that we are commemorating the abolition of slavery, a slavery that existed more than 200 years ago. This day could serve as a reminder of the fact that slavery was a reality somewhere in our country.But what about today? 200 years later... Slavery still exists. It exists in the form of dependencies. Those self-induced slaveries of which we cannot get rid. Some are addicted to nicotine, drugs, sex, the internet, their blogs, cleaning, hurting others... forms of addictions are unlimited yet they have one thing in common, they force us to forego a part of us, sometimes essential parts of us. Then one day you realise you have not fulfilled your dreams, you have not taken care of your kids, you have not learnt how to bake a cake... So on this day, tomorrow, at least on this one day, it would be ...

And yet despite the efforts of the international community to combat this abhorrent practice, it is still widely prevalent in all its insidious forms, old and new.Contemporary slavery takes various forms and affects people of all ages, sex and race.

Esclavage en Mauritanie : L'abolition par l'éducation
2007-09-24 23:21:00 Le philosophe sénégalais So uleymane Bachir Diagne a estimé lundi à Paris que la loi ne suffira pas pour abolir l’esclavage en Mauritanie, si son adoption n’est pas suivie par un travail éducatif."La loi fixe des repères; elle est certes utile, mais pas suffisante. C’est absurde de criminaliser l’esclavage et de prévoir un quantum de dix ans de prison", a affirmé M. Bachir Diagne, professeur à l’université de Columbia, lors d’un entretien
