As the Gaza conflict rages on, the Palestinians demand for human rights and return to their homeland continues for many outside of the occupied territories. Millions of refugees scattered throughout the Middle East live in refugee camps rife with violence, extreme poverty and no support or assistance. This twinned with getting stuck in the crossfire of many host-country conflicts such as Syria, Lebanon and Iraq make their situation even more intractable. When the opportunity to work does open up, the same people are greeted with more exploitation in trying to make a livelihood. We widen the lens away from Gaza to see what life is like for Palestinian youths growing up in Beirut, Lebanon. read full story / add a comment

Manila, Philippines - Akbayan Party strongly and categorically condemns the Israeli armed forces’ (navy and air force) constant bombardment and shelling, numbering above 100, of the Gaza strip, hosting more than 1.7 million people in one of the most densely-populated areas in the world. Despite its claims of engaging in surgical operations against militant and ‘terrorist’ elements within Gaza, Israel’s air raids and naval shelling have contributed to rising casualties among civilians, including journalists and children, caught in the firing line. read full story / add a comment

This is the memoir of an Ordinary Person. A memoir that: spans from December 2006 to May 2011; describes the author's struggle against an "alleged" constructive dismissal by one of Ireland's leading law firms; tells of the author's challenge to the Employment Appeals Tribunal to remain impartial; outlines the author's application to the Legal Aid Board to provide assistance; questions the validity of the Courts' Customer Service Strategic Plan, the internal systems and the treatment of people who cannot afford legal counsel; and gives an account of the author's challenge to the Law Courts when she self-represented agains the Firm. It is the story of a system that is protected by self-regulation and the separation of powers and which has thrived because of the unwritten Code of Practice. It is the story of The Judiciary - An Ordinary Person's Perspective. read full story / add a comment
