On May 3, the US Embassy in Sana'a issued a statement on the political violence in South Yemen that claimed eight lives last week. The United States stressed that "Yemen's unity depends on its ability to guarantee every citizen equal treatment under the law." What the Yemeni government calls unity, the protesters call occupation. Somali pirates hide their mother ships in Yemen's waters. NATO Commander, Admiral Mark Fitzgerald, said the pirates receive "a lot of the logistical supplies" from Yemen. Pirates say they receive information on ship location from Yemeni collaborators. The United States says it supports "a stable, unified, and democratic Yemen." Yemenis chose a democratic system in 1990, but they haven't seen it yet. What exists in Yemen is a criminal enterprise that bombs its o...
In 2007, six Mexican journalists were killed. So far in 2008, two journalists have lost their lives. CPJ calls Mexico one of the world's most dangerous countries for the press. In 2008, death threats against journalists rose dramatically, [Carlos Lauria] said. Since few of the death threats or murders are ever prosecuted, Lauria predicted that more journalists like [Emilio Soto Gutierrez] will be seeking political asylum in the United States as the violence continues to worsen. Not long ago Monterrey was considered one of the safest cities in Mexico," Lauria said. "It's a very bad sign for Mexico when people say they don't feel safe there anymore.
China's ambassador to the United States yesterday called the recent unrest and political violence in Tibet a simple issue of law and order and insisted that life already was getting "back to normal" in the restive mountainous region. Ambassador Zhou Wenzhong made his remarks at a Washington conference even as Chinese authorities were expanding a military lockdown in ethnic-Tibetan areas.
ON NOVEMBER 29, THE DE FACTO AUTHORITIES in Honduras held a blatantly fraudulent election - complete with state violence against dissidents in the run-up to the voting, ballot irregularities, and manufactured turnout numbers.1 Sadly, some countries are recognizing these elections, giving unwarranted legitimacy to former de facto president Roberto Micheletti and the other coup leaders who took power in June.2 The mainstream news coverage has been a significant factor in portraying the Honduran election as a peaceful, legitimate exercise in democracy By ignoring the abuses and corruption of the coup leaders before and during the election, the U.S. media in particular became complicit in thwarting Honduran democracy. Nor did many outlets report that during the coup, the plane carrying the...

Created by a treaty, the Rome Statute, opened for signature in 1998 and commencing operation after ratification by 60 state signatories in July 2002, the Court has as the subject matter of its jurisdiction the most horrible acts of violence that political conflict can produce: genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity. Rather than vesting the prosecutor with this proprio motu power, the United States wanted the Court to take up investigations on the basis of referrals from the United Nations Security Council and not otherwise (except for self-referrals, whereby a state party would ask the ice to investigate conduct that took place on its own territory, presumably owing to a lack of confidence in its ability to prosecute such cases effectively).
WASHINGTON -- U.S. intelligence analysts believe Osama bin Laden has shifted from outright calls for violence to political arguments in recent taped messages in hopes of driving a wedge between the United States and its allies, officials said Tuesday. The analysts believe bin Laden is making the tactical shift to try to exploit some allies' concerns with U.S. policy in the Middle East and to attract more moderate Muslims who distrust the United States but have not embraced al-Qaida's violence, the officials said.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran will visit Saudi Arabia on Saturday for a summit meeting with King Abdullah intended to tackle the Middle East's growing sectarian and political crises, Iranian officials said Thursday. The visit, Ahmadinejad's first state visit to Saudi Arabia, was initiated by Iran, said a former Saudi official with knowledge of the discussions. It marks the culmination of months of diplomatic efforts by the two regional powers, as well as other Arab countries, to settle the political standoff in Lebanon, cool sectarian violence in Iraq and possibly even avert a looming confrontation with the United States.
