Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 14/08/2015 - 12:53pm

Montreal, August 9th, 2015 – The United Nations celebrates days regarding specific topics. Their aim is to contribute to the public awareness. There are many opportunities to promote national and international actions and to stimulate interest in the UN programs and activities. These United Nations celebrations and events have largely been established by the General Assembly. "Let us accompany these days with real actions and sufficient funds to repair the damage that has been done," asks Rodolf Samson, in charge of Native Affairs for the Canadian Raelian Movement.

Australia couldn't have chosen a worse time to be president of the UN Security Council in its temporary role there. Its main ally, the USA, is avidly seeking another war, this time with SYRIA. Australia's prime minister until the September election, Kevin Rudd, is brazenly advocating an attack on Syria and last year, the foreign minister, Bob Carr, exhorted the assassination of Syria's president Bashar al-Assad ( http://www.indymedia.org.au/2012/10/13/bob-carr-the-intended-assassinati... ).

REDD under fire for narrow focus on carbon storage, risk to indigenous peoples

Submitted by takver on Fri, 28/01/2011 - 5:16pm

A new report from some of the world's top experts on forest governance has criticised various international climate change accords including REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) and REDD+ for their narrow focus on carbon storage which fails to stop rampant destruction of the world's most vulnerable forests and acts to further marginalise indigenous peoples.
