On 14 October the Forum on Europe heard an address by the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan who had come to speak about planned reforms to the United Nations. All Party leaders were allowed to address comments to Kofi Annan. The following speech was made by Joe Higgins. Annan, reflecting the arrogance of all diplomats and members of the political elite these days, did not answer any of Joe’s questions or refer to any points made in his speech in the summation given to the Forum. read full story / add a comment

"President Bush's special envoy, James Baker, who has been trying to persuade the world to forgive Iraq's crushing debts, is simultaneously working for a commercial concern that is trying to recover money from Iraq, according to confidential documents." "Mr Baker's Carlyle Group is in a consortium secretly proposing to try to collect $27bn (£15bn) on behalf of Kuwait, one of Iraq's biggest creditors, by using high-level political influence" "Yet Iraq continues to make regular reparations payments for Saddam's 1990 invasion of Kuwait. In the eighteen months since the US invasion, Iraq has paid out a staggering $1.8 billion in reparations--substantially more than the battered country's 2004 health and education budgets combined, and more than the United States has so far managed to spend in Iraq on reconstruction." Selected highlights from http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20041101&c=1&s=klein http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1326037,00.html read full story / add a comment

Two gardaí were acquitted of assaulting a participant in the Reclaim The Streets party held in May 2002. It's interesting to note that two years later, despite extensive video evidence of garda brutality not one garda has yet been convicted of any crime. read full story / add a comment

Given the current escalation of Israeli depredations in Gaza and the daily US bombings of Falluja, it is interesting to examine Amnesty International's (AI) statements on the situation. AI is widely viewed as an authority on human rights issues, and thus it is of interest to analyze its output on these recent events. Careful scrutiny of AI's record reveals that, its typical response to the daily obscene deeds by either Israeli or US armies is a few barely audible ruminations with an occasional lame rebuke. The impotence of these responses raises many questions. read full story / add a comment

Below is a proposed text for a 'No Platform Policy' for TCD. We will be circulating copies to the TCDSU and amongst the political parties over the next few days and are expecting their full support. Also, we are confident that those who stood up to the fascists in UCD will support our campaign to deny the extremists the oppurtunity to use TCD as a recruiting ground for hate. read full story / add a comment
