Protest impotriva condamnarii abuzive a unui laureat al Premiului Nobel pentru Pace

Aun San Suu Kyi, lidera birmaneza dizidenta si laureata a premiului Nobel, a fost condamnata astazi la inca 18 luni de arest la domiciliu. Dupa un proces, mai mult de fatada, ea a fost gasita vinovata de violarea termenilor de arest la domiciliu deorece John William Yettaw, un cetatean american, a intrat in casa ei in luna mai.

Fundatia pentru Dezvoltarea Societatii Civile (FDSC) se alatura organizatiei People in Need din Republica Ceha si societatii civile internationale pentru a protesta impotriva sentintei nedrepte si a cere ca mai multe masuri restrictive sa fie luate de catre Consiliul de Securitate al Natiunilor Unite impotriva juntei birmaneze.

In 2001 Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe agreed to create one of the largest transfrontier park in the world: the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park. It should comprise the Limpopo National Park (Mozambique), Kruger National Park (South Africa) and Gonarezhou National Park (Zimbabwe).

Mesaje in media pentru dezvoltare

Romania a devenit in mod oficial donator international de asistenta pentru dezvoltare in 2007, odata cu intrarea in Uniunea Europeana. Exista putine campanii media pe aceasta tema. Cu exceptia campaniilor (teledon) desfasurate in contextul catastrofelor din Asia de Sud-Est (cele provocate de tsunami in Indonezia si Sri Lanka in 2004 si de ciclonul Nargis in Myanmar/Birmania in 2008) practic nu s-a mai intamplat nimic remarcabil.
