Despite the shocking history of East Timor and the unncessary massacres that the world's powers facilitated and watched, it's all happening again. Indonesia has brought over 11,000 troops to West Papua (its colony since 1969) in recent months and intimidation, torture and massacres are becoming increasingly common. The official Irish government stance is to respect the sovereignty of Indonesia and hope that dialogue between Indonesia and Papuan 'separatists' can resolve the inevitable turmoil. Ridiculous! ... read full story / add a comment

On Tuesday 4 November 2003, the United Nations voted for the twelfth consecutive time to oppose the US economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba. This year a record 179 countries (including Ireland and Britain) voted against the blockade, with only the US, Israel and the Marshall Islands supporting its continuation. The illegal, unjust and immoral blockade of Cuba by the US continues to create huge shortages and hardship for the Cuban people and must be lifted. Given increased threats from the US, including the real possibility of military invasion, a recent tightening of the blockade by George W. Bush (despite Congressional opposition) and increased hostility towards Cuba by the EU, international support for the Cuban Revolution and the country's right to national self-determination free from US interference has never been greater. The US government must be made to listen and act on the democratic and moral will of the United Nations. ... read full story / add a comment
