</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Balasubramaniam had last year produced a statutory declaration alleging that Najib had close personal ties with murdered Mongolian woman Altantuya Shaariibuu.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But 24 hours later, in a dramatic reversal, the private investigator recanted his statutory declaration and subsequently went into hiding in India for over one year.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In August, he re-emerged in Malaysia to stand by his first statutory declaration, saying that threats and inducements were used by certain quarters to make him change his story.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Balasubramaniam’s lawyer Americk Singh Sidhu, in an interview with Malaysiakini, denied that Anwar was behind this latest development.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Many people think Anwar Ibrahim is behind all this. That is absolutely untrue. Anwar has no idea about this whole episode except what he may have read in the blogs and on Malaysiakini,” Americk told in an interview.<br />

<br />
The Secretary General is saddened by reports of the brutal killing of more than 50 civilians in Maguindanao province, Southern Philippines. He condemns this heinous crime committed in the context of a local election campaign, a statement from the Secretary Generals office read.<br />
<br />
Ban called for the perpetrators of the heinous crime to be brought to justice.<br />
<br />
President Arroyo declared on Tuesday a state of emergency in Maguindanao province following Mondays killings, which have been described as the worst election-related violence in the nations history.<br />
<br />
The Secretary General extends heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and hopes that no effort will be spared to bring justice and to hold the perpetrators accountable, the statement said.<br />
<br />
Outgoing US Ambassador Kristie Kenney said such barbaric acts violate the most fundamental principles of human rights and democracy.<br />
<br />
On behalf of all American and Filipino employees of the Embassy, Ambassador Kenney offers heartfelt condolences to the families, friends and colleagues of the victims, the US embassy statement said.<br />
<br />
We strongly believe that a thorough, rapid, and transparent investigation must be conducted, and those responsible must be brought to swift justice, Kenney said.<br />
<br />
I condemn in the strongest possible terms the barbaric killing of innocent civilians, including women, journalists and lawyers, who were preparing to participate in the electoral process in the Philippines, said European Commissioner for External Relations Benita Ferrero-Waldner.<br />
<br />
I call for calm in the period leading up to the forthcoming elections scheduled for May 2010. In the face of this atrocity, the rule of law and democracy have to prevail, she said.<br />
<br />
British Ambassador Stephen Lillie said: I condemn this brutal massacre of innocent civilians, including women, journalists and lawyers. I hope that the authorities in the Philippines will take urgent action to bring the perpetrators to justice and prevent further escalation of violence in the run-up to next year's elections here.<br />
<br />
Effective action will be crucial in maintaining confidence in the Philippines' commitment to protect human rights, he added.<br />
<br />
No accountability<br />
<br />
The New York-based Human Rights Watch said the massacre was an effect of the failure of the Arroyo administration to hold accountable perpetrators of unexplained killings.<br />
<br />
It urged the government to initiate an independent probe on the murders to be led by the National Bureau of Investigation. The possible involvement of state forces in the Maguindanao massacre means that security personnel shouldn’t be allowed to interfere in an independent investigation.<br />
<br />
Extrajudicial killings will continue to be a serious problem in the Philippines until they are competently, transparently, and impartially investigated, and perpetrators, including members of security forces, are fully prosecuted, Elaine Pearson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch, said.<br />
<br />
The history of election-related violence in the Philippines makes the lead up to the May 2010 elections a period of special concern, Pearson said.<br />

</div><span id="midArticle_0" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span> <br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">WASHINGTON (Reuters) - By <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE5AN5HH20091125" target="new">David Alexander</a></span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">President <a href="http://www.reuters.com/news/globalcoverage/barackobama" title="Full coverage of President Barack Obama">Barack Obama</a> has no plans to join a global treaty banning landmines because a policy review found the United States could not meet its security commitments without them, the State Department said on Tuesday.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span id="midArticle_1" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span> <br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">"This administration undertook a policy review and we decided that our land mine policy remains in effect," spokesman Ian Kelly told a briefing five days before a review conference in Cartegena, Colombia on the 10-year-old Mine Ban Treaty.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span id="midArticle_2" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span> <br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">"We determined that we would not be able to meet our national defense needs nor our security commitments to our friends and allies if we signed this convention," he said.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span id="midArticle_3" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span> <br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">It was the first time the administration had publicly disclosed the decision.<br />
</div><span id="midArticle_4" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span> <br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The treaty bans the use, stockpiling, production or transfer of antipersonnel mines. It has been endorsed by 156 countries, but the United States, Russia, China and India have not adopted it.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span id="midArticle_5" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span> <br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy, a leading advocate for the treaty, called the decision "a default of U.S. leadership."<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span id="midArticle_6" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span> <br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">"It is a lost opportunity for the United States to show leadership instead of joining with China and Russia and impeding progress," Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, said in a statement.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span id="midArticle_7" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span> <br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Landmines are known to have caused 5,197 casualties last year, a third of them children, according to the Nobel Prize-winning International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), which links some 1,000 activist groups.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span id="midArticle_8" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span> <br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The United States generally abides by the provisions of the treaty. It has not used antipersonnel mines since the 1991 Gulf War, has not exported any since 1992 and has not produced them since 1997, Steve Goose, director of the Arms Division of Human Rights Watch, told a briefing on Monday.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span id="midArticle_9" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span> <br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The review conference next Sunday is expected to draw more than 1,000 delegates representing more than 100 countries, including ministers and heads of state.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span id="midArticle_10" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span> <br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">It will look at the progress of a broadly popular treaty that has helped cut land mine casualties around the world and provided relief to victims.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span id="midArticle_11" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span> <br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Kelly said the United States would send humanitarian mine relief experts from the State Department, Defense Department, U.S. Agency for International Development and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to observe the conference.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span id="midArticle_12" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span> <br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">"As a global provider of security, we have an interest in the discussions there," Kelly said. "But we will be there as an observer, obviously, because we haven't signed the convention, nor do we plan to sign the convention."<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">"The very fact that they are showing up we take as a positive sign of movement on this issue within the Obama administration," Goose said.<br />
<br />
<span id="midArticle_0"></span> "We hope they're not coming empty-handed," he added. "We very much want them to come and say that they intend to join this convention. Even if they can't give a timeline, we want them to say they intend to join at some point in time."<br />
<br />
<span id="midArticle_1"></span> Anti-mine campaigners said a declaration of intent was important because the Bush administration reversed U.S. policy on accepting the convention and said it would never join.<br />
<br />
<span id="midArticle_2"></span> While Kelly's comment indicated no shift in administration policy, Jeff Abramson, deputy director of the nonpartisan Arms Control Association, said the United States was expected to make a statement at the conference that might shed more light on the decision.<br />
<br />
<span id="midArticle_3"></span> He said it would be disappointing if such a statement shut the door to continuing a review of U.S. policy.<br />
<br />
<span id="midArticle_4"></span> Kelly said the United States was the world's single largest financial supporter of humanitarian mine action, having provided more than $1.5 billion since 1993 to support mine clearance and destruction of conventional weapons.<br />
<br />
<span id="midArticle_5"></span> In contravention of the treaty, however, the United States stockpiles some 10 million antipersonnel mines and retains the option to use them.<br />
<br />
<span id="midArticle_6"></span> But using mines would pose big problems for Washington, Goose said, because most of its allies including all but one NATO country, are parties to the treaty and are pledged not to help other countries use the weapons.<br />
<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The so-called "Team 8" was appointed by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to look into allegations that police and prosecutors are trying to frame top anti-corruption investigators with false criminal charges.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The scandal has sparked protests and raised doubts over Yudhoyono's drive to lift the scourge of corruption from Indonesia, which remains ridden with graft despite 10 years of reform since the fall of the Suharto kleptocracy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"Team 8 recommends to the president, in order to uphold justice for the people, that sanctions should be imposed on the officials responsible for this forced legal process," team spokesman Anies Baswedan told reporters after the committee handed in its report at the end of a two-week investigation.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">It also said the police had no evidence to support their allegations of bribery and abuse of power against two deputy chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), and recommended the charges be dropped.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Yudhoyono has been under mounting pressure to take action after wiretap recordings captured senior police and prosecutors discussing ways to apparently frame the commissioners, Chandra Hamzah and Bibit Samad Riyanto.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The anti-graft investigators were arrested last month but were released after the KPK's wiretaps were played in court on November 3.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Police general Susno Duadji and deputy attorney general Abdul Hakim Ritonga have stepped down over their roles in the alleged conspiracy, but anti-graft activists say police chief Bambang Hendarso Danuri and Attorney General Hendarman Supandji also must go.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The team also recommended authorities investigate a controversial, 6.7-trillion-rupiah (US$710-million) bank bailout many analysts believe is the source of friction between the police and the KPK.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Baswedan said Duadji's connections with an account holder reportedly close to Yudhoyono's Democratic Party who was able to withdraw supposedly frozen funds from the collapsed Bank Century should be part of the wider probe.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The Democrats have refused to back parliamentary calls for an inquiry into the Bank Century fiasco, arguing that any suspicions over the bailout should be investigated by the police and not by lawmakers.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Yudhoyono welcomed the Team 8 report but insisted he could not immediately act on its recommendations due to an "internal process" that he did not explain.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"As the head of the country and head of government, what I do will have to be in line with the constitutional order, laws, and government rules," he said, echoing his standard line that the "legal process" must be respected.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Police have refused to drop their allegations against the KPK officials despite the attorney general's office twice rejecting the case in the aftermath of the wiretap revelations.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Activists said Yudhoyono, a liberal ex-general who won re-election in July on promises of clean government and economic growth, was under mounting pressure to prove his anti-corruption credentials.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"The president must follow the recommendations of the team, otherwise what's the point in setting it up in the first place?" Indonesia Corruption Watch coordinator Danang Widoyoko told AFP.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"If he doesn't follow the team's recommendations, it will mean that he has not only failed in carrying out his job as president but also in stopping corruption. In fact, he's only encouraging corruption." <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i> </i></span></span><br />

The Amnesty report said Israel uses more than 80 per cent of water drawn from the aquifer and while Israel has other water sources, the aquifer is the West Bank's only supply of water.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">In the Gaza Strip, several repair works were under way to improve sanitation before the Israeli blockade was imposed in 2007. But the projects have been on hold under the siege, as Israel is preventing repair materials from coming into the Strip.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Adding to an already dire situation, Israel's war on Gaza early this year left water reservoirs, wells, sewage networks and pumping stations severely damaged. The Amnesty report said Gaza's coastal aquifer, its sole fresh water resource, has been polluted by infiltration of seawater and raw sewage and degraded by over-extraction.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">The water situation in Gaza had now reached a "crisis point," with 90 to 95 per cent of the water supply contaminated and unfit for human consumption, Rovera said.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Israel's water authority called the report "biased and incorrect, at the very least" and said that while there is a water gap, it is not nearly as big as presented by Amnesty. The authority said Israel had met its obligations under the “Oslo peace agreement” but said the Palestinian authorities had failed to meet their own requirements to recycle water and were not distributing water efficiently.<br /><br /><br /></span></div>abe ma6 - anakmatlesenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14267755917075009170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655748160251750513.post-38905431617916169492009-10-10T08:50:00.002+01:002009-10-16T08:56:19.621+01:00The Nobel Peace Prize, 2009 - For Obama?<p style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://nobelprize.org/redirect/links_out/prizeawarder.php?from=/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2009/press.html&object=nobelpeaceprize.org&to=http://nobelpeaceprize.org" target="_blank">The Norwegia</a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit_qUY7Z25vby7DoarMXiEAyUKvOr7fQozncAdcY-N9P5__FrRXlLCrrXag48Nr0FRWLdzkYvuk5ZDWytUZY99f6AHKrTQuoWZkSKzxdcaH-hZh8fkCIrnpLgePmLhnuCedyrwN2_vrg0/s1600-h/obama.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 199px; height: 146px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit_qUY7Z25vby7DoarMXiEAyUKvOr7fQozncAdcY-N9P5__FrRXlLCrrXag48Nr0FRWLdzkYvuk5ZDWytUZY99f6AHKrTQuoWZkSKzxdcaH-hZh8fkCIrnpLgePmLhnuCedyrwN2_vrg0/s400/obama.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393103452616430226" border="0" /></a><a href="http://nobelprize.org/redirect/links_out/prizeawarder.php?from=/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2009/press.html&object=nobelpeaceprize.org&to=http://nobelpeaceprize.org" target="_blank">n Nobel Committee</a> has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;">Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama's initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened. <a target="new" href="http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2009/press.html"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight:
