Listing countries where elections have been mixed with violence and repression, Human Rights Watch said western powers, especially the United States and European Union, have accepted elections in countries that don’t respect human rights, for political reasons and benefit.一覧国選挙暴力と抑圧と混合されており、ヒューマンライツウォッチの国では、人権を尊重しない選挙を受け入れている西側の主要国、特に米国と欧州連合は、政治的な理由とメリット。 The group said the west has continued to prop up fragile democracies, or those that purport to be, such as Kenya, where waves of killings have followed a disputed election, and Pakistan, where elections are coming up after the assassination of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto.同グループは、西部、脆弱な民主主義を下支えしたり、それらは、ケニア、などが殺人の波が続いている趣旨は、係争中の選挙で、選挙での野党指導者ブット暗殺後のパキスタンが近づいていて、継続している。 The group also said that countries including Bahrain, Jordan, Nigeria, Russia and Thailand have taken on the belief that elections are equal to democracy.同グループはまた、バーレーン、ヨルダン、ナイジェリア、ロシア、タイなどの国々の信念は、選挙が民主主義に等しいで撮影したと発表した。 In its annual report, the group said that Washington, Brussels and European capitals “play along” with the notion that a country can have democracy simply by holding elections.毎年恒例の報告書では、このグループは、ワシントン、ブリュッセルとヨーロッパの首都" "という概念には、国の民主主義を持つことができますだけで選挙を行うことで合わせて演奏した。 “It’s now easy for autocrats to get away with mounting a sham democracy,” said Kenneth Roth, the group’s executive director. "これは今のところautocratsの距離との偽の民主主義を取り付け、 "ケネスロスは、グループの事務局長を得るのは簡単だ。 “That’s because too many Western governments insist on elections and leave it at that.” “They don’t press governments on the key human rights issues that make democracy function - a free press, peaceful assembly, and a functioning civil society that can really challenge power,” Roth said. "そんなのはあまりに多くの欧米の政府は選挙を主張している" "彼らは民主主義を機能-報道の自由、人権、平和的な集会をするのキーを押していない問題についての政府のままにしておくと、市民社会が機能本当に力に挑戦できる"とロス氏。 The report said grave human rights abuses have fueled humanitarian crises in Somalia and the Ogaden region in Eastern Ethiopia, where millions of people are suffering.報告書は重大な人権侵害ソマリアとエチオピア東部では、オガデン地方で数百万人が苦しんでいる人道危機を煽っていると述べた。 The report documented manipulations of elections.報告書は、選挙の操作説明。 It said Chad, Kazakhstan, Nigeria and Uzbekistan committed “outright fraud,” while governments controlled the electoral machinery in Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Malaysia, Thailand and Zimbabwe.政府は、アゼルバイジャン、バーレーン、マレーシア、タイ、ジンバブエの選挙機械制御は、 "チャド共和国、カザフスタン、ナイジェリア、ウズベキスタンコミット"紛れもないと述べた。 Belarus, Egypt, Cuba, Iran and Israel in the occupied Palestinian territories blocked or discouraged opposition candidates.ベラルーシ共和国、エジプト、キューバ、イラン、イスラエルのパレスチナ占領地区ブロックや落胆野党候補。 Russia and Tunisia were cited for stifling the media, and China and Pakistan undermined the rule of law, the report said.ロシア、チュニジアのメディア抑圧に引用された、中国とパキスタンは、法の支配を台無しにしている。 “Many of these tactics are illegal under domestic and international law, but rarely do outside powers call governments to account for it,” the report said. "これらの戦略の多くは国内および国際法の下では違法行為であり、ほとんどは外部の力は、 "政府は、報告書のアカウントに電話した。 “Established democracies are often unwilling to do so for fear of losing access to resources or commercial opportunities, or because of the perceived requirements of fighting terrorism.” “It seems Washington and European governments will accept even the most dubious election so long as the ‘victor’ is a strategic or commercial ally,” it said. "民主主義国家を設立多いので、リソースまたは商業的機会、あるいはテロとの戦いのための認識の要件へのアクセスを失うのを恐れて消極的だ" "これも、ほとんどのように怪しげな選挙を受け入れている米国と欧州諸国の政府は、 '勝者の戦略的または商業的な同盟国だ"としている。 In Kenya, rival political sides halted talks over disputed elections and vicious ethnic clashes after the killing of an opposition legislator, but said they would keep talking while would keep killing each other.ケニアでは、ライバルの政治的な側面は、野党議員の殺害後に異議を唱え選挙と悪質な民族間の衝突をめぐる協議の中断が互いに殺しながら体制を維持することは話を続けるとしている。 The country remained tense and volatile and violence continued to reign while political parties have battled for more than a month over who won the presidential elections.政党間の戦いが緊張している国や揮発性と暴力支配を続けウォンは、大統領選挙を1カ月以上。 Nasser Ega-Musa, a United Nations spokesman, said both parties had “a general desire to continue the negotiations and a willingness not to be distracted and derailed,” by the shooting death of David Too.ナセルエガ川-ムーサ、国連報道官は、両当事者" 、 "デビッドすぎる死での撮影は、一般的な欲望の交渉と意欲を気を取られてはいけないと続けて脱線したと発表した。 The human rights report also said China has clamped down on the media as it is preparing to hold the Summer Olympics Games in August.の人権も中国のメディアは8月の夏季オリンピックのゲームを保持するために準備を進めているのをクランプしている報告してください。 Foreign journalists who were given the right to interview Chinese have been harassed, detained or intimidated to prevent them from doing reports on the country’s poor human rights records.外国人記者は、嫌がらせを拘束されているか、国の貧しい人々の人権記録の報告を行うからそれらを防ぐためにおびえる中国語のインタビューを受ける権利を与えられた。 It said the construction boom to prepare for the Olympic Games has involved an estimated one million construction workers under harsh and unsafe labour conditions, but that trade with China is more important to the US and the EU than human rights.これは、建設ブーム、オリンピックの過酷な労働条件の下で、安全でないと推定100万人の建設労働者として活動しているが、中国との貿易は、米国が重要であると人権よりも、 EUの準備をした。 Have Your Say: EU and US said to favour elections over human rights と言うお客様： EUと米国の人権上の選挙に有利としたことがあります Please read ourお読みください私たちの posting guidelines before posting投稿する前にガイドラインを掲載 . 。 Alternatively別の方法として you can discuss this report hereここに、この報告を検討することができます . 。 Rallies to protest Gaza bombingガザ空爆に抗議する集会 Saturday, January 3rd, 2009 2009年1月3日（土）

By Francis A. Boyleフランシスボイルすることで1つの。 The United Nations General Assembly must immediately establish an International Criminal Tribunal for Israel (ICTI) as a “subsidiary organ” under UN Charter Article 22.国連総会は直ちにイスラエル（ ICTI ）のための"補助機関として"国際刑事裁判所の下に確立する必要があります国連憲章第22条。 The ICTI would be organized along the lines of the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia (ICTY), which was established by the Security Council.のICTIユーゴスラビア（ ICTY ）は、安全保障理事会によって設立されたのは、国際戦犯法廷の線に沿って組織される。 The purpose of the ICTI would be to investigate and prosecute Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide against the Peoples of Lebanon and Palestine–just as the ICTY did for the victims of international crimes committed by Serbia and the Milosevic Regime throughout the Balkans. ICTIの目的は、イスラエルの戦争犯罪を調査すると、人間性と、レバノンとパレスチナの民族の大量虐殺に対する罪を起訴するようになるだろうICTY国際犯罪セルビアとのミロシェビッチ政権によるバルカン半島での犠牲者のために約束した。 The establishment of ICTI would provide some small degree of justice to the victims of Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide against the Peoples of Lebanon and Palestine–just as the ICTY has done in the Balkans. ICTIの設立イスラエルの戦争犯罪、人道と、レバノンとパレスチナの民族の大量虐殺に対する犯罪の犠牲者に正義を提供するいくつかの小さな度だけICTYとしてバルカン半島で行われました。 Furthermore, the establishment of ICTI by the UN General Assembly would serve as a deterrent effect upon Israeli leaders such as Prime Minister Olmert, Foreign Minister Livni, Defense Minister Barak , Chief of Staff Ashkenazi and Israel’s other top generals that they will be prosecuted for their further infliction of international crimes upon the Lebanese and the Palestinians.また、国連総会でICTIの設立は、抑止効果としてイスラエルのオルメルト首相の指導者に内閣総理大臣、外務大臣Livni 、バラク国防相、参謀議長とイスラエルのアシュケナージ他のトップの将軍のような彼らが告発されるとなる国際的な犯罪をさらに与えることは、パレスチナ、レバノンの時。 Without such a deterrent, Israel might be emboldened to attack Syria with the full support of the Likhudnik Bush Jr. Neoconservatives, who have always viewed Syria as “low-hanging fruit” ready to be taken out by means of their joint aggression.このような抑止力がなければ、イスラエルはLikhudnikブッシュジュニア新保守主義者は、常に"低"の状態にある果物として注目しているシリアの全面的な支援でシリアを攻撃するという意味では、共同侵略に抹消して勇気付けられた可能性があります。 If Israel attacks Syria as it did when it invaded Lebanon in 1982, Iran has vowed to come to Syria’s defense.イスラエルがシリアを攻撃したときに、 1982年にレバノンに侵攻、イラン、シリアの防衛に来るのは明言している。 And of course Israel and the Bush Jr administration very much want a pretext to attack Iran.そしてもちろん、イスラエルとジュニアは、ブッシュ政権はイランを攻撃する非常に多くの口実します。 This scenario could readily degenerate into World War IIIこのシナリオは容易に第三次世界大戦に陥ること For the UN General Assembly to establish ICTI could stop the further development of this momentum towards a regional if not global catastrophe.国連総会ではない世界的な大災害の場合は、地域のさらなる発展に向け、この勢いを止めることICTIを確立する。 Have Your Say: An Israeli War Crimes Tribunal というあなたのしたことがあります：イスラエルの戦争犯罪法廷 Please read ourお読みください私たちの posting guidelines before posting投稿する前にガイドラインを掲載 . 。 Alternatively別の方法として you can discuss this report hereここに、この報告を検討することができます . 。 Amy Goodman: Voices of Resistance Sing Onエイミーグッドマン：抵抗の声で歌う Friday, January 2nd, 2009 2009年1月2日（金）

By 〜によって Alan Travis アラントラ andおよび Richard Norton-Taylor リチャードノートンテイラー | The private sector will be asked to manage and run a communications database that will keep track of everyone’s calls, emails, texts and internet use under a key option contained in a consultation paper to be published next month by Jacqui Smith, the home secretary.民間企業を管理することになりますし、全員の通話、メール、テキスト、インターネットを利用しての重要なオプションは、来月Jacquiスミスさんは、内務大臣が発行するには、協議の下に紙に含まれる通信を追跡するデータベースを実行する。 A cabinet decision to put the management of the multibillion pound database of all UK communications traffic into private hands would be accompanied by tougher legal safeguards to guarantee against leaks and accidental data losses. 、閣議の決定を民間の手にすべての英国の通信トラフィックの数ポンドデータベースの管理をより厳しい法的な保護によってリークや不慮のデータ損失を保証するために同伴される。 But in his strongest criticism yet of the superdatabase, Sir Ken Macdonald, the former director of public prosecutions, who has firsthand experience of working with intelligence and law enforcement agencies, told the Guardian such assurances would prove worthless in the long run and warned it would prove a “hellhouse” of personal private information.しかし、彼の強い批判にはまだsuperdatabase 、サーケンマクドナルド、インテリジェンスと法執行機関は、実地での作業を経験している公共の起訴は、元局長は、長期的に価値を証明するガーディアンなどを保証するものでいると警告する個人的な個人情報の" hellhouse "証明している。 “Authorisations for access might be written into statute.アクセスを"許可法に書き込まれる可能性があります。 The most senior ministers and officials might be designated as scrutineers.最も上級相scrutineers関係者として指定されている可能性があります。 But none of this means anything,” said Macdonald.しかし、この意味は何もない"とマクドナルド氏は言う。 “All history tells us that reassurances like these are worthless in the long run. "すべての歴史は、これらのような安心をしている長期的に価値を教えてくれる。 In the first security crisis the locks would loosen.”最初の安保危機では、ロックを緩めると思います。 " The home secretary postponed the introduction of legislation to set up the superdatabase in October and instead said she would publish a consultation paper in the new year setting out the proposal and the safeguards needed to protect 10月のsuperdatabase秘書の自宅を設定し、法案の導入を延期し、彼女の代わりに、新しい年を提案し、セーフガードを守るために必要があるとの設定では、相談報告書を出版すると発表した civil liberties 市民の自由 . 。 She has emphasised that communications data, which gives the police the identity and location of the caller, texter or web surfer but not the content, has been used as important evidence in 95% of serious crime cases and almost all security service operations since 2004 including the Soham and 21/7 bombing cases.彼女には、警察は身元の呼び出し、またはWebサーファーtexterではなく、コンテンツの場所を与えるの通信データは、重大な犯罪事件の95 ％の重要な証拠と、ほぼすべてのセキュリティサービスを事業として2004年以来使用されているなど、強調しているSohamと、 7分の21爆撃事件。 Until now most communications traffic data has been held by phone companies and internet service providers for billing purposes but the growth of broadband phone services, chatrooms and anonymous online identities mean that is no longer the case.今までほとんどの通信トラフィックデータのブロードバンド電話サービス、チャットルーム、匿名のオンラインアイデンティティの成長が意味する電話会社やインターネットサービスプロバイダーが、請求の目的のために保有されるまでは、もはや事件です。 The Home Office’s interception modernisation programme, which is working on the superdatabase proposal, argues that it is no longer good enough for communications companies to be left to retrieve such data when requested by the police and intelligence services. superdatabaseの提案に取り組んでいるのは、ホームオフィスの近代化プログラムを遮断し、十分なコミュニケーションは、企業にとっては、もはやそのようなデータは、警察や情報サービスが要求を取得するために残されるのはよいことだと主張する。 A Home Office spokeswoman said last night the changes were needed so law enforcement agencies could maintain their ability to tackle serious crime and terrorism. Aホームオフィスの広報担当者は法執行機関は、重大な犯罪やテロに対処する能力を維持できる最後の夜、変更を必要としている。 Senior Whitehall officials responsible for planning for a new database say there is a significant difference between having access to “communications data” - names and addresses of emails or telephone numbers, for example - and the actual contents of the communications.ホワイトホールの上級幹部は、新しいデータベースのための計画の責任者は"通信データ" -名前と電子メールまたは電話番号のアドレスは、例えば-することにアクセスし、コミュニケーションの実際の内容との間にかなりの違いがあるという。 “We have been very clear that there are no plans for a database containing any content of emails, texts or conversations,” the spokeswoman said. "われわれは非常には、データベースメールは、テキストや会話のすべてのコンテンツは、 "広報担当者を含む計画はないのかははっきりしている。 External estimates of the cost of the superdatabase have been put as high as £12bn, twice the cost of the ID cards scheme, and the consultation paper, to be published towards the end of next month, will include an option of putting it into the hands of the private sector in an effort to cut costs.外部superdatabase £ 12bnとしての料金の高されているとすると、相談紙、来月の終わりに掲載されるには、パットのオプションを含めるには、 IDカード方式の2倍の費用の見積もりコスト削減に努力するには、民間部門の手。 But such a decision is likely to fuel civil liberties concerns over data losses and leaks.しかし、そのような決定を、データの損失や燃料漏れの市民的自由の問題になりそうだ。 Macdonald, who left his post as DPP in October, told the Guardian: “The tendency of the state to seek ever more powers of surveillance over its citizens may be driven by protective zeal.マクドナルドは、 10月に左DPPとしての彼のポストは、ガーディアンに語った： "は、国家の傾向は、市民を監視するのこれまで以上に力を求め、保護の熱意によって駆動することがあります。 But the notion of total security is a paranoid fantasy which would destroy everything that makes living worthwhile.しかし、全体の安全保障の概念は、価値のある生活をすべて破壊するような妄想ファンタジーです。 We must avoid surrendering our freedom as autonomous human beings to such an ugly future.私たちはこのような醜い人間として私たちの未来に自律的自由を放棄を回避する必要があります。 We should make judgments that are compatible with our status as free people.”我々は、自由人としての状態と互換性のある判断をする必要があります。 " Maintaining the capacity to intercept suspicious communications was critical in an increasingly complex world, he said.不審な通信を傍受する能力の維持はますます複雑な世界で重要だった、と述べた。 “It is a process which can save lives and bring criminals to justice. "これは犯罪者の命を救うことができると正義をもたらすのプロセスです。 But no other country is considering such a drastic step.しかし、他の国のような抜本的な手順を検討している。 This database would be an unimaginable hell-house of personal private information,” he said.このデータベースは、想像を絶する地獄の個人情報個人情報の家になるだろう"と述べた。 “It would be a complete readout of every citizen’s life in the most intimate and demeaning detail. "これは最も親密なと屈辱の詳細のすべての市民の生活の完全な読み出しとなる。 No government of any colour is to be trusted with such a roadmap to our souls.”任意の色のない政府は我々の魂にそのようなロードマップに信頼されることです。 " The moment there was a security crisis the temptation for more commonplace access would be irresistible, he said.現在は、セキュリティの危機をもっと一般的にアクセスするための誘惑に抵抗できないというものだった、と述べた。 Other critics of the plan point to the problems of keeping the database secure, both from the point of view of the technology and of deliberate leaks.データベースのセキュリティを維持するには、計画の問題点の他の批評家は、両方の技術を見ると故意の漏洩の点から。 The problem would be compounded if private companies manage the system.民間企業は、システムを管理する場合、この問題は悪化するだろう。 “If there is a breach of security in that database it would be utterly devastating,” one said. "がある場合はそのデータベースのセキュリティのだろうが完全に壊滅的な違反だ"と述べた。 Have Your Say: Private firm may track all email and calls と言うお客様 ： 民間企業のすべての電子メールや通話を追跡することがありますが Please read ourお読みください私たちの posting guidelines before posting投稿する前にガイドラインを掲載 . 。 Alternatively別の方法として you can discuss this report hereここに、この報告を検討することができます . 。 Why You Should Delete Your MySpace AccountなぜあなたのMySpaceのアカウントを削除する必要があります Thursday, January 1st, 2009 2009年1月1日（木）

By 〜によって Hywel Trewyn Hywel Trewyn CALLS to put Welsh on new ID cards are at last to be considered by the Government.ウェールズの新しいIDカードの最後の通話では、政府が検討させる。 The U-turn follows pressure from language campaigners who say it would be an insult if English-only cards were issued in Wales. Uターンの人が侮辱ウェールズの場合、英語版のみのカードが発行されたと述べている言語運動からの圧力以下の通りです。 The Welsh Language Board yesterday welcomed an announcement that UK Border Agency officials will at least review the idea of producing bilingual cards available for Wales.ウェールズ語委員会は、昨日の発表は、英国国境庁関係者は、少なくとも2カ国語のカードがご利用いただけますウエールズの生産を検討する考えを歓迎した。 It is a reversal on policy from earlier this year, when the Home Office said it had “no intention to include Welsh on identity cards”, arguing the language “was not an official language of the EU.”これは今年初めからの政策上の逆転は、ホームオフィス" 、言語"と主張は、 EUの公用語ではなかったのIDカードに"ウェールズ語を含むないといわれています。 " But the WLB has always argued including Welsh on cards issued in Wales was essential – the same as for driving licences and passports.しかし、ウェールズのWLBはいつものカード発行にウェールズ語を含む不可欠だったと主張している-と同じ運転免許証やパスポート。 And they are sending a clear message to the Government that Welsh people would see it as an insult if a Welsh option was excluded from the cards, which will eventually be distributed to every British citizen.政府に、彼らはウェールズの場合、オプションは、カードから、最終的にすべての英国市民に配布される除外されたウェールズの人々に見てもらえるの侮辱としての明確なメッセージを送っている。 WLB chair Meri Huws said: “If the Welsh language does not appear on Identity Cards, I don’t believe they will reflect the true identity of the people of Wales, and their linguistic identity in particular. WLBいすHuwsメリ氏： "は、ウェールズ語言語アイデンティティーカード上に表示されていない場合、私はウェールズの人々の真のアイデンティティを反映することを、特にその言語のアイデンティティとは思わない。 “Therefore it is essential that all ID cards issued in Wales are fully bilingual, as is the case with driving licences. "そのため、ウェールズでは、すべてのIDカードを発行完全に、運転免許の場合と同様に二カ国語ですが不可欠である。 “I welcome the fact that the Home Office is now considering how to include the language on cards issued in the future, and look forward to hearing a statement on this issue soon.” "私は、その際、そのホームオフィス将来的に発行するカードは、どのように言語を含めることを検討している方も歓迎し、この問題に進むすぐに声明を審理してまいります。 " And the WLB stance was supported by Caernarfon Plaid Cymru MP Hywel Williams: “The first drafts of the proposed ID cards had the Union Jack on them.ウェールズ民族党のスタンスカナーヴォンWLBと北マリアナ諸島Hywelウィリアムズがサポートされました： "と提案したIDカードの最初の草稿には、ユニオンジャックをしていた。 This would have been wholly unacceptable to people living in Wales.これが完全にウェールズに住んでいる人々に受け入れられないだろう。 I understand now there’s not going to be the Union flag.”私は今あるのは、ユニオンフラッグにならないだろうということを理解する。 " Mr Williams has tabled a number of questions asking the Government what steps have they taken to provide bilingual ID cards in Wales and the rest of the UK and for Welsh Secretary Paul Murphy about which steps he has taken to guarantee that Welsh will be on the cards.ウィリアムズ氏は質問の数多くの手順は、ウェールズのバイリンガルのIDカード、英国およびウェールズの残りの約長官ポールマーフィー氏は、ウェールズのカードにされることを保証している手順を提供するために撮影することが政府の要求を示している。 Now, following a consultation period, it seems there is a glimmer of hope that they will be bilingual.さて、次の相談期間は、それが希望の光は、バイリンガルになるようだ。 A UK Border Agency spokesperson said: “There will be no Welsh headings on the first wave of identity cards to be issued to workers in critical locations in Manchester and London City airports.英国国境局の広報担当者： "身分証明書の最初の波にはウェールズ件名労働者にマンチェスター、ロンドンシティ空港での重要な場所に発行するものとなります。 International Civil Aviation Organisation rules state that travel documents must have headings written in English and French.国際民間航空機関の規則の状態は、旅行書類件名英語とフランス語で書かれている必要があります。 “As we roll out ID cards across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, we will review the inclusion of Welsh on the cards.” "我々のロールをIDカード、イングランド、ウェールズ、スコットランド、北アイルランドで、我々はカードにウェールズの封入を検討する。 " A previous linguistic battle was won after the census was forced to include a Welsh tick box for Welsh people.後は、国勢調査のウェールズ人のウェールズダニボックスなどを余儀なくされた以前の言語の戦いに勝利したのだった。 The first identity cards were distributed to foreign residents living in the UK last month and will then be distributed to the general population of the UK in stages, dependent upon status, over the next three years.最初のIDカードは、英国では先月、外国人住民の生活に配布された後の段階では、英国の総人口に配布される、ステータスに依存し、次の3年間。 People working in “sensitive” jobs like at airport employees will be given the cards first, then young people who want them from 2010 and from 2011 they will be available to everyone.人々は"空港職員のように敏感な"若者たちの仕事で作業してからすると、 2010年から2011年までにはすべての人に提供される最初のカードが与えられるという。 Have Your Say: Government considers Wales as ID card guinea pigs あなたの意見：政府のIDカードをモルモットとしてウェールズを検討したことがあります Please read ourお読みください私たちの posting guidelines before posting投稿する前にガイドラインを掲載 . 。 Alternatively別の方法として you can discuss this report hereここに、この報告を検討することができます . 。 1978: Labour opposed ID cards to curb illegal immigration 1978 ：不法移民労働を抑制するため、 IDカードに反対 Wednesday, December 31st, 2008 2008年12月31日（水）

The comments were in a draft statement due to be given to the Commons by Merlyn Rees, the Home Secretary, who wrote that the introduction of identity cards “would require major changes in practices and powers reaching far beyond immigration control”.声明の草案が、コメントでは、コモンズにMerlynリーズは、内務大臣は、 IDカードの導入は、 "出入国管理をはるかに超えて"実践力に達するとの大きな変化を必要と書いたが与えられることにした。 He added: “In the past such changes have been contemplated only in war: the Government does not believe they could be justified on immigration grounds alone.”と同氏は付け加えた： "そのような変化では、過去の戦争だけで内容をされています：政府は入国管理上の理由で正当化されるだけというのは信じていません。 " The comments were later edited out of the final speech he delivered to the House, as a struggling Labour Government tried to resist the calls from Opposition leader Margaret Thatcher for more draconian measures to tackle illegal immigration.コメントの後の今も、家に届け最後の演説で、政府は不法移民の苦闘労働に取り組むために、より厳格な措置の野党指導者マーガレットサッチャーからの呼び出しに抵抗しようとしたが編集された。 In a secret discussion between Prime Minister Callaghan and the Whips on March 8 1978, a Downing Street aide wrote: “It was claimed that many Asian immigrants were very frightened. 1978年3月8日、首相官邸で内閣総理大臣補佐官Whipsキャラハンとの間には秘密の議論の中で述べて： "それは、多くのアジア系移民が非常に驚いたと主張した。 “There was bitter opposition to the tactics adopted by Mrs Thatcher… and that resentment should be exploited by the Government.” "この戦術サッチャー夫人が採用され...激しい反対と怒りを政府が悪用される必要があります。 " Ministers stuck by their pledge not to introduce quotas on immigration as they did not want the “objectionable” measure of requiring everyone to carry identification papers.身分証明書類としては、誰もが携帯することを求めるのは、 "好ましくない"を測定していた閣僚は、公約の移民の割当を導入しないことに変わりはなかった。 The confidential Government documents also discussed ways to expose “the fraudulent nature of Mrs Thatcher’s approach”, although a personal note written by Mr Callaghan warned that the Government’s response to Select Committee recommendations was too lacklustre.キャラハン氏は個人的なメモが書かれたことを選択してください委員会勧告に対する政府の対応をされたと警告したが精彩を欠いた政府の機密文書はまた、 "ミセスサッチャーのアプローチ"の詐欺的な性質を公開する方法について話し合った。 He said: “We seemed to be accepting few recommendations – mostly ones to do nothing.”かれは言った： "私たちはいくつかの勧告を受け入れるよう-ほとんどのものは何もしています。 " Have Your Say: 1978: Labour opposed ID cards to curb illegal immigration あなたの言う ： 1978したことがあります：不法移民労働を抑制するため、 IDカードに反対 Please read ourお読みください私たちの posting guidelines before posting投稿する前にガイドラインを掲載 . 。 Alternatively別の方法として you can discuss this report hereここに、この報告を検討することができます . 。 US, Japanese Researchers Mix Samples of 1918 Flu Pandemic to Recreate Deadly Codeアメリカ、 1918年インフルエンザの大流行の日本研究者の死者を出したミックスのサンプルコードを再作成する Tuesday, December 30th, 2008 12月（火） 、 2008 30

The Independent - We’ve got so used to the carnage of the Middle East that we don’t care any more – providing we don’t offend the Israelis. It’s not clear how many of the Gaza dead are civilians, but the response of the Bush administration, not to mention the pusillanimous reaction of Gordon Brown, reaffirm for Arabs what they have known for decades: however they struggle against their antagonists, the West will take Israel’s side. As usual, the bloodbath was the fault of the Arabs – who, as we all know, only understand force. Ever since 1948, we’ve been hearing this balderdash from the Israelis – just as Arab nationalists and then Arab Islamists have been peddling their own lies: that the Zionist “death wagon” will be overthrown, that all Jerusalem will be “liberated”. And always Mr Bush Snr or Mr Clinton or Mr Bush Jnr or Mr Blair or Mr Brown have called upon both sides to exercise “restraint” – as if the Palestinians and the Israelis both have F-18s and Merkava tanks and field artillery. Hamas’s home-made rockets have killed just 20 Israelis in eight years, but a day-long blitz by Israeli aircraft that kills almost 300 Palestinians is just par for the course. The blood-splattering has its own routine. Yes, Hamas provoked Israel’s anger, just as Israel provoked Hamas’s anger, which was provoked by Israel, which was provoked by Hamas, which … See what I mean? Hamas fires rockets at Israel, Israel bombs Hamas, Hamas fires more rockets and Israel bombs again and … Got it? And we demand security for Israel – rightly – but overlook this massive and utterly disproportionate slaughter by Israel. It was Madeleine Albright who once said that Israel was “under siege” – as if Palestinian tanks were in the streets of Tel Aviv. By last night, the exchange rate stood at 296 Palestinians dead for one dead Israeli. Back in 2006, it was 10 Lebanese dead for one Israeli dead. This weekend was the most inflationary exchange rate in a single day since – the 1973 Middle East War? The 1967 Six Day War? The 1956 Suez War? The 1948 Independence/Nakba War? It’s obscene, a gruesome game – which Ehud Barak, the Israeli Defence Minister, unconsciously admitted when he spoke this weekend to Fox TV. “Our intention is to totally change the rules of the game,” Barak said. Exactly. Only the “rules” of the game don’t change. This is a further slippage on the Arab-Israeli exchanges, a percentage slide more awesome than Wall Street’s crashing shares, though of not much interest in the US which – let us remember – made the F-18s and the Hellfire missiles which the Bush administration pleads with Israel to use sparingly. Quite a lot of the dead this weekend appear to have been Hamas members, but what is it supposed to solve? Is Hamas going to say: “Wow, this blitz is awesome – we’d better recognise the state of Israel, fall in line with the Palestinian Authority, lay down our weapons and pray we are taken prisoner and locked up indefinitely and support a new American ‘peace process’ in the Middle East!” Is that what the Israelis and the Americans and Gordon Brown think Hamas is going to do? Yes, let’s remember Hamas’s cynicism, the cynicism of all armed Islamist groups. Their need for Muslim martyrs is as crucial to them as Israel’s need to create them. The lesson Israel thinks it is teaching – come to heel or we will crush you – is not the lesson Hamas is learning. Hamas needs violence to emphasise the oppression of the Palestinians – and relies on Israel to provide it. A few rockets into Israel and Israel obliges. Not a whimper from Tony Blair, the peace envoy to the Middle East who’s never been to Gaza in his current incarnation. Not a bloody word. We hear the usual Israeli line. General Yaakov Amidror, the former head of the Israeli army’s “research and assessment division” announced that “no country in the world would allow its citizens to be made the target of rocket attacks without taking vigorous steps to defend them”. Quite so. But when the IRA were firing mortars over the border into Northern Ireland, when their guerrillas were crossing from the Republic to attack police stations and Protestants, did Britain unleash the RAF on the Irish Republic? Did the RAF bomb churches and tankers and police stations and zap 300 civilians to teach the Irish a lesson? No, it did not. Because the world would have seen it as criminal behaviour. We didn’t want to lower ourselves to the IRA’s level. Yes, Israel deserves security. But these bloodbaths will not bring it. Not since 1948 have air raids protected Israel. Israel has bombed Lebanon thousands of times since 1975 and not one has eliminated “terrorism”. So what was the reaction last night? The Israelis threaten ground attacks. Hamas waits for another battle. Our Western politicians crouch in their funk holes. And somewhere to the east – in a cave? a basement? on a mountainside? – a well-known man in a turban smiles.

The Qassam rockets myths Tuesday, December 30th, 2008
I warned you months ago: the magic word is ‘Sderot’ . Any amount of barbarism can be justified by the frankly risible rocket attacks on southern Israel. The Israeli propaganda line, repeated with dogged fanaticism by its apologists everywhere, is that Israel performed an immense act of goodness in withdrawing its colonies from Gaza, and the native ingrates actually responded by sending a spray of Qassam rockets aloft in celebration. To add insult to injury, the bleeders even used former ’settlement’ buildings to launch the rockets from. Such beliefs have to be encouraged to justify such outrageous proposals as the levelling of Gaza . Before this gets out of hand and people start using the rockets to justify some sort of “holocaust” , let us at least bear the facts in mind for a while. The Qassam rockets were being used as one component of an array of military tactics deployed by Gazan groups before the pull-out, the Gush Katif colonies being the prominent target. This was a response to a wave of violence and expulsions in which, for example, 13,350 residents of Rafah had their homes and life belongings destroyed in the year preceding the withdrawal, courtesy of Israeli tanks and Caterpillar bulldozers. Parts of Gaza came to resemble Grozny. The Israelis frequently attacked ambulances, at one point using the argument that UNRWA had allowed Qassam rockets to be loaded on board one such vehicle (this turned out to be a lie, but it is still repeated on many a media outlet and website). The vast majority of casualties from their use date back to the period of formal colonialism. After the withdrawal, the rate at which these were used diminished dramatically. Their use has spiked in response to serial atrocities against Palestinians, such as the slaughter of the Ghaliya family on the Gaza beach, (in which Hamas broke an eighteen month unilateral ceasefire ). There were few such rockets fired during the six-month ceasefire, even though Israel didn’t respect its terms, but their use was increased again as Israel broke the truce on November 4th (burn that date into your brain and remember it next time someone tells you that those nasty Hamas thugs wouldn’t renew the ceasefire). Now, there are legitimate arguments about both the efficacy and ethics of using such weapons. To my mind, they have very little going for them as a tactic of resistance. But the apparently widespread belief that Qassam rockets are the vindictive and jubilant response of sneering Palestinian jihadists to Israeli mushiness is not justified by any evidence. In fact, if the aim were truly to end Qassam rocket fire, the logical option would to be engage in a unilateral ceasefire and invite Hamas to enter into a process of dialogue. But that brings us to another myth, the myth of Hamas rejectionism, which is for another post. Have Your Say: The Qassam rockets myths Please read our posting guidelines before posting .

By NORM KENT He picked for Vice President one of the major architects of the Drug War. He picked for Chief of Staff one of the chief opponents of medical marijuana. He is talking about picking for the Drug Czar spot a conservative candidate who has been a congressional leader fighting drug reform. He has promised to put an end to raids on medical dispensaries in California, but he has not said he will broadly support the Hinchey-Rohrbacher Amendment which would let states decide the issue. He has moved from once supporting marijuana decriminalization to publishing comments that he cannot overuse ‘political capital’ on the issue. He has now appointed for Attorney General a candidate who has a long history of opposing drug policy reforms and who has in court supported mandatory minimum sentencing and civil forfeiture. Allen St. Pierre, the Executive Director of NORML, summed it up best about Mr. Obama’s appointments thus far: “So Far, Not So Good:” His thought-provoking article appears on the NORML.com website at its blog. From summarizing why the selection of Joe Biden as Vice President caused him ‘digestive tumult’ to tracing Rahm Emanuel’s anti-drug policies for the past decade, the article captures a snapshot of what was routine politics as usual for the players soon to be in power. When it comes to our 44th President, some of his positions on marijuana were once encouraging. But as Mr. Obama has moved towards the national limelight, there is a new found frustration for reformers. It seems the President to be is moving from the left to the middle. And as Loudon Wainwright once wrote in a popular song, the only things you see in the middle of the road are dead skunks and yellow lines. Still, I am not alarmed yet. It is way too early, and there is still room and reason for optimism. Commencing your administration in the face of a national economic crisis at home while American soldiers are at war abroad can focus your priorities on other issues outside the need for weed. We have seen what happened to Bill Clinton when he tried, too early in his administration, to advance the cause of gay rights by banning discrimination against homosexuals in the military. He started a firestorm which burnt up valuable first months of his presidency. We do know this though, and it is a challenging start. Rather decisively, on the official administration website, at www.change.gov , the following statement appears: President-elect Obama is not in favor of the legalization of marijuana. What can we then expect of Mr. Obama once he becomes President? I think there are many encouraging things. First, in his past he has acknowledged the broad failures of the drug war, declaring in 2004 that it was an “utter failure” which needs to be rethought. Second, as an African-American in an urban community, few people will be as sensitive as Mr. Obama to the exhaustive legal toll this drug war exacts on minority communities. The arrests come quicker, the prosecutions are more frequent, and the sentences are longer. Drug arrests have been tools to deny poor people driver’s licenses, scholarships and federal welfare benefits, causing innocuous conduct to endure catastrophic consequences for otherwise decent people. Third, the President is ‘with it’. His telling comments to a group of students when asked whether he ‘inhaled’ marijuana were “Of course, I thought that was the whole purpose.” Those remarks are a reflection of the candor and commitment of Mr. Obama to address the issue in a new light. He did not play a game of Clintonian holier-than-thou cover-up. With the same self-deprecating qualities that he shared with the nation when he called himself a ‘mutt,’ Mr. Obama implied in tone and substance that marijuana may not be as bad as we have been hearing from the government for too many decades. Last week, the website Change.gov asked the public to provide them with a list of the top public policy questions facing America. Visitors to the site were then asked to vote on which questions should take priority for the incoming administration. After receiving nearly 100,000 total votes on more than 10,000 separate public policy issues, the most widely voted on question for Obama is: “Will you consider legalizing marijuana so that the government can regulate it, tax it, put age limits on it, and create millions of new jobs and create a billion dollar industry right here in the US” Maybe Rahm Emanuel has turned a corner as well. Rahm is politically smart if nothing else, so I hope that he’ll follow his boss’ lead in the area of criminal justice reforms. Also, to his credit, after voting years against Hinchey-Rohrbacher Amendment in 2007, as member of Congress from Illinois, Rahm voted in favor of holding back federal funding from law enforcement (read DEA) to raid or harass medical marijuana cultivators and dispensaries. I know I have been unsuccessful in getting my own liberal Congresswoman from South Florida, Debbie Wasserman-Schulz, to even support this effort. Maybe Mr. Emanuel will influence her and dozens of others. It will take leadership from the oval office. That can only happen when the people in office are looked upon as enlightened reformers rather than being weak on crime. Politically, I know such polls as the one the administration inaugurated here are instrumental in turning mindsets. If we can show politicians that it is ‘safe’ to support drug reform, even popular, we can suddenly find them on our side. To their credit, outstanding philanthropists like Peter Lewis and George Soros have been national leaders in helping bring public opinion out of the closet. These are men whose voices may be heard by the new administration. And I am here for them too if they need me. My number is listed. So too is Barney Frank, the influential Massachusetts congressman who has long supported decriminalization legislation. The truth is that people who support decriminalization have always been a silent majority afraid to speak out. But give them a secret ballot box, and in state after state, you see massive support for medical marijuana and a more enlightened approach to marijuana reform. Perhaps the President, in his own unique disarming way, can lead a new path. He has surrounded himself with educated leaders who also have been willing to speak candidly in favor of decriminalization including new Cabinet nominee Bill Richardson. We do not need a new Drug Czar, either. This is America. Czars are for Russia. What we need is the appointment of an educator, a scientist, a doctor, a constitutional rights lawyer to pave the way to a new era of drug enlightenment. At the last NORML Board of Directors meeting, one issue we raised was one many of us within the drug reform movement can support. It has been three decades since the Shafer Commission released its national study on marijuana, which Nixon immediately trashed. Perhaps a new Blue Ribbon Commission, with decades more research behind it, and years of medical marijuana evidence, can look into new recommendations for the 21st century. On one hand, such a Presidential panel would buy time for the new administration to get settled in with more pressing priorities. But it would also give drug reformers a national platform to address so many issues that have been, forgive me, cultivated- since the Shafer Commission, from forfeiture laws to raids on dispensaries, from the THC content of marijuana to medicinal initiatives. It is time to look again at marijuana with a scholarly and clinical eye instead of with SWAT teams and law enforcement raids. Correspondingly, it is also time for the national drug reform organizations to speak with a singular voice and work together for a common purpose. There needs to be a unity of purpose, and leaders from the Marijuana Policy Project, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, the Drug Policy Alliance, Students for a Sensible Drug Policy, and a host of other respected reform organizations, too many to mention here, should hold their own meeting to develop a common theme with a collective initiative. We need to work together to send a message that is enlightened and progressive, convincing legislators and the executive branch that we are responsible and right.. The drug reform movement needs to act in a way that President-elect Obama has asked all of us to move towards: not to be tied to the politics of the past and the way things have always been done, but to engage hope by broadening our constituency and reaching out to others. Within the drug reform movement, fratricide must come to an end. We must bury the hatchet on our own rivalries, and move forward with a common purpose. We defeat ourselves by ourselves when we do not. Our cause is just, and our goals have always been righteous. We may have only ourselves to blame if we cannot achieve now what we have fought so long for. I would say our time is now, but I thought that in 1976 when the Attorney General of the United States, then Ramsey Clark, said we should see an end to unjust marijuana laws before the end of the decade. I think we are overdue. Together, let us do better than we have already done. We have a President who is willing to listen, a Congress that is willing to learn, and a public that is salivating for a better solution.

Chávez: Capitalists Have Manipulated the Message of Christ to Exploit the Poor Monday, December 29th, 2008
By Venezolana de Televisión “The Kingdom of Heaven is not a kingdom or life in the clouds. Either it exists here or else it exists nowhere,” President Chávez issued a wake-up call during the last Sunday program of 2008. “It’s on earth, and that is why Christ came here and was born among the poor, in the manger.” The head of state in Venezuela noted that the capitalist system throughout its history has distorted Jesus’s message to the poor about the Kingdom of Heaven, with the sole purpose of exploiting the impoverished majorities in favor of the minorities who enjoy the wealth of the world. The Christ child was born on earth, poor and human, to fight and make this planet truly the kingdom of heaven, of equality and justice, not to be poor in life and to win glory in the afterlife, Comandante Chávez said during the last Aló Presidente broadcast of the year, speaking from El Valle where he inaugurated a new People’s Clinic. “The message of Christ, who said the Kingdom of Heaven is that of the poor, has been very often manipulated. In this way they have for centuries manipulated the poor of the world, to make them quietly accept exploitation.” “Christ was born to call on us to create, here on earth, the Kingdom of Love,” Chávez explained, adding that this kingdom has no other name than socialism. The president reminded the audience that socialism comes from what is social, as capitalism proceeds from capital. “Socialism is the doctrine, science, of development of what is social. Capitalism is the immoral art, science, and technology of development of capital or growth of capital — (for capitalism) what matters is that even while people die of hunger capitalists accumulate capital.” The president stressed that therein lies the key to understanding the confrontation that began again, in which Venezuela has become the center of the battle between socialists and capitalists, “between people becoming more politically conscious every day and those who exploited them forever.” He said that that is why the issue of the constitutional amendment is of vital importance as it will allow Venezuela to go farther on the socialist path, the truly human and democratic path, for the happiness of the Venezuelan people. To conclude the last Aló Presidente of the year, the president wished the best for Venezuelan families, urging them to enjoy Christmas and New Year’s Eve with love, moderation, and simplicity so they can continue in 2009 the work of making Venezuela a great nation of justice and equality.

Over 300 Killed in Gaza as Attacks Continue Monday, December 29th, 2008
The first day of what Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak assures us will be a “long and difficult” war in the Gaza Strip has come and gone, leaving at least 300 Gazans dead , over 700 wounded, and one Israeli civilian killed and four wounded in retaliatory strikes . The number of Gaza civilians dead is not currently known, but the attacks centered around police stations and killed a large number of Palestinian security forces. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak hit out at calls to cease the attacks and renew the ceasefire, saying “ for us to be asked to have a ceasefire with Hamas is like asking you to have a ceasefire with al-Qaeda .” Except of course that up until a week ago Israel did have a six month long ceasefire with Hamas which Minister Barak repeatedly defended from the more hawkish opposition members. But the time for an unpopular peace is over in Israel, and police are being dispatched to crack down on those protesting against the unpopular war that has followed. Meanwhile, as Gazans count their dead and tend to their wounded in a chaotic scene , Hamas and the assorted militant factions that reside in the strip are vowing revenge. Hamas says “ all options are open ” in responding to the attacks, while Islamic Jihad is ordering all its fighters to respond to “ the Israeli slaughter .” Those still calling for peace between the belligerent factions appear for now to have little traction, and the war is liable to continue to escalate.
