The Politics of Humanitarian Aid
2008-06-05 18:26:00 by Walter Brasch President Bush was justifiably upset. A cyclone four days earlier had destroyed a large portion of Myanmar, and the country's military junta was still refusing humanitarian aid. "Let the United States come to help you, help the people," Bush pleaded with the junta. "We're prepared to move U.S. Navy assets to help find those who've lost their lives, to help find the missing, to help stabilize the situation," said the President, "but in order to do so, the military junta must allow our disaster assessment teams into the country." With more than 20,000 dead, possibly 40,000 missing, and close to one million homeless, the junta made it clear that it, not the international community, would provide whatever humanitarian aid was necessary. A week before the cyclone hit, President Bush extended sanctions against Myanmar by another year because of what he called that junta's "large-scale repression of the democratic opposition.&q...

Junta criticizes lack of humanitarian spirit
2008-05-31 09:08:00 I think the World has been right in being pessimistic, and indeed Myanmar has turned a full 180o in criticism of aid countries barely after a week. Perhaps, it was a show specially performed for United Nations Secretary General - Mr Ban Ki-moon. They ran a similar show afterall, when “organized relief camps” were being ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Junta criticizes lack of humanitarian spirit", url: "http://www.mr-endoh.com/curren-t-affairs/junta-criticizes-lack--of-humanitarian-spirit/" });
Cluster Munition Convention: "Disarmament as humanitarian action"
2008-05-30 15:34:00 Today, the new Cluster Munition Convention banning cluster munitions that cause unacceptable harm to civilians was adopted by the Dublin Conference at around 10h10. There were no objections expressed from the floor.A great number of delegations spoke to welcome the new treaty, which will enter into force internationally six months after 30 states have ratified or acceded to it. Given the speed at which the 1997 Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention entered into force internationally almost a decade ago and the energy and commitment expressed in the conference chamber today, this may not take long.The final version of the treaty in English, French and Spanish should be available on the Dublin Conference website shortly, in addition to the Conference's procedural report.A couple of points stood out from the plethora of closing statements. The Ambassador of France said the Dublin Conference had been the most successful diplomatic conference he had taken part of in his career. I suspect...

News: Humanitarian airlift to Myanmar
2008-05-24 16:01:00 I am back in Brindisi.I am sure you have seen the news of humanitarian relief goods being flown into Myanmar to assist with the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis. I bet all of that footage was on the Myanmar side...Those first relief flights actually all originated from here, from the UN Humanitarian Response Depot in Brindisi.Here are some pictures from the first relief flights into Myanmar on May 10th. This particular flight had cargo from OCHA and Irish Aid, containing water purification units, moskito nets, blankets, kitchen sets, tarpaulins and water storage containers.View the picture slide show of this airlift.Pictures courtesy Fulvio Pirato (UNHRD/WFP)
News: Humanitarian airlift to China
2008-05-22 17:04:00 The boys and girls from the UN Humanitarian Response Depot (UNHRD) have been busy the past weeks.There were several airlifts of relief goods into Myanmar, and since a week, relief agencies requested for the shipment of humanitarian goods to China, in support of the earthquake disaster.Yesterday and last night, an Airbus 310 from Skycargo (Emirates Airlines) was loaded with relief goods from the Italian Civil Protection. Contrary to the normal practices, the plane was parked on the civilian side of Brindisi airport, so all goods had to be trucked to other side of the airport. All stuff is fixed on special pallets before being weighed and loaded onto the plane.The cargo consisted of family tents and a full field hospital from the Italian Civil Protection, one of the agencies that stores their goods at the UNHRD depots in Brindisi.The loading crew was ready at 2 am and the plane took off a few hours later. Next stop: China earthquake zone.Pictures courtesy Lucien Jaggi (WFP/UNHRD)

U.N. AId Workers SHOCKED, Myanmar Rulers Seize Humanitarian Aid

Today, Myanmar proved why more and more people each day are reading All American Blogger: Myanmar’s military leaders seized aid shipments headed for cyclone survivors and told the top U.S. diplomat there Friday that they’re not ready to let in American aid workers despite warnings the country is on the verge of a medical catastrophe. Another 4 inches of rain was forecast to fall next week as more than 1 million people waited for food, clean water, shelter and medicine to reach them. Diplomats and aid groups warned the number of dead could eventually exceed 100,000 because of illnesses and said thousands of children may have been orphaned. The U.N. World Food Program said two planeloads of supplies containing enough high-energy biscuits to feed 95,000 people were seized Friday, prompting the world body to say it was suspending aid flights.

No one has given more exemplary humanitarian contribution to society and th
2008-05-09 05:01:00 A tribute to mothers: By Pansy Hamilton Brown, For The Guardian - Nassau, Bahamas: Mothers should dare to be different and be the queen of their households. Be the mothers who in the face of difficulties and adversities embrace the joy of motherhood and fearlessly accept the challenges of nurturing your children and serving your husbands with dignity. Endeavor to give birth to new parenting skills and be a model for displaying a loving heart, irrespective of the situations as you teach the world how to love. Caring mothers are invaluable, and their sterling qualities exceed the language of the most excellent orator. They are the nucleus of their families, harmonized with the devotion of fathers. The sunshine and cheerfulness that most mothers bring to their families produce children that are nurtured and fit to contribute positively to society. The perfume of their commitment is sweetened with dedication, sacrifice, unending loyalty and harmony in their homes. Within them l...

Humanitarian Implications of Free Trade Agreements
2008-02-25 18:02:00 Free trade agreements such as NAFTA are lightning rods for political debate. Food aid to disadvantaged countries often comes in the form of American-grown crops, which are subsidized by the government and help support American farmers. However, many argue that the best way to aid struggling nations is to purchase their own crops and trade them on the free market. Are handouts the best solution to world hunger, or is cultivating agricultural trade in third world countries a better solution?

Top Ten Most Underreported Humanitarian Stories of 2007
2008-01-09 01:18:00 From Chechnya to the Central African Republic, from Sri Lanka to Zimbabwe, the countries and contexts highlighted by MSF on this year's list accounted for just 18 minutes of coverage on the three major U.S. television networks' nightly newscasts from January through November 2007. For example: Graciela and her family are a few of the millions of Colombians who have had to flee their homes to escape fighting between government, rebel, and paramilitary forces. Armed groups fighting for territorial control have a stranglehold on many rural areas of Colombia, depriving civilians of access to health care by making roads impassable, forcibly conscripting children into militias, and murdering those suspected of collaborating with rivals.See the top ten most underreported humanitarian stories of 2007 in Images and text.Home

Open letter to President Sarkozy: On the humanitarian exchange of political
2007-12-17 00:47:00 by James Petras I read with great interest your letter to FARC leader Manuel Marulanda. I share with you a humanitarian impulse to end the imprisonment of political prisoners in Colombia. However let us be clear, principled and realistic about this: The freedom of the political prisoners of the FARC is dependent on a quid pro quo – the liberation of the resistance fighters of the FARC in the dungeons of the Colombian state. Your dramatic and highly publicized intervention has focused world public opinion on the prisoners held by the FARC, but you failed to mention the plight of the Colombian government’s political prisoners, tortured and brutalized by a President, whose many closest Congressional associates are awaiting trial for their long-term ties to the paramilitary death squads and narco-traffickers. Let us begins anew, President Sarkozy. If your want to be an honest mediator or consequential humanitarian leader you must act impartially with a spirit of reciprocity. You hav...

Hayden the Humanitarian
2007-12-09 03:10:00 Turns out that actress Hayden Panettiere is more than just a pretty face. The humanitarian in training spoke about her Save the Whales campaign at the Forecast Earth Summit hosted by The Weather Channel. You may or may not recall, but Hayden recently risked her life in Japan to prevent fishermen from hunting dolphins. Dressed smartly in black slacks, nude pumps, and a sheer pink blouse, Hayden definitely looked the part of a young environmentalist. Hayden is a very petite girl, yet she somehow manages to pull off wide leg pants. Her look just proves that anyone can wear almost anything if it's tailored just right. If you're a bit vertically challenged like Hayden, the key to wearing wide leg pants without looking dowdy is to keep an eye on proportions. Make sure your pants are hemmed just right, if they're too long, you'll become lost in fabric. Also, balance your wide pants with a fitted top. Or if you want a more forgiving silhouette, you can wear a billowy top like ...
