Child labourers at a rescue centre Plenty of people have ridiculed the ban, saying it is unworkable – it is estimated there are 500,000 child workers in these occupations in Delhi alone – and pointed at the government’s pretty feeble plans to enforce it as further evidence of yet another pie-in-the sky paper initiative. I disagree with the nay-sayers. The ban is an important statement of intent and a significant and welcome change from the age-old position that child labour is a ‘necessary evil’ given widespread poverty in Indian society. Clearly in the real world child labour will not stop overnight – there aren’t the schools, hostels etc to accommodate and rehabilitate these children even if the government had the manpower to round them up – but it’s no bad thing to make a statement of intent. It might also raise awareness and change attitudes among India’s new middle classes who, increasingly, find themselves needing double-incomes households, even after starting families. However this often means hiring school-age girls from placement agencies, often for just 1,000 – 1,500 rupees a month. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/peterfoster/3629781/Child_labour_is_not_a_necessary_evil/ Page 2 of 7 Child labour is not a necessary evil – Telegraph Blogs 8/13/11 5:31 PM There are one or two excellent NGOs in Delhi who are devoted to mopping up the casualties of this system. In the worst cases these girls find themselves imprisoned in their master’s homes, denied wages, beaten, starved and even raped. This, however, is rare. Most people in India, I believe, try to treat their servants well – but sometimes it doesn’t occur to them to ask whether they should be keeping school age children as domestic helps at all. A case in point comes from an English friend who recently told me the story of a conversation with a female Indian colleague who spoke quite openly about her young Bengali servant-girl. What a great boon she was and how she enabled her to enjoy her freedom to work and enjoy a second income. The point is that this woman – who incidentally had a PhD – didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with this. The usual argument is seductive – better she’s working in Delhi for me than starving in a village outside Kolkata/Calcutta – but in the final analysis, wrong. This new legislation makes that point very clearly Children should be studying, not working. It’s a lofty and laudable aim which shouldn’t be dismissed just because it isn’t achievable overnight.

I only wish I had access to this fully developed intellectual framework and the courses of action it suggests while still in government. —General Michael V. Hayden (retired) Former Director of the CIA Director of the NSA e problem of secrecy is double edged and places key institutions and values of our democracy into collision. On the one hand, our country operates under a broad consensus that secrecy is antithetical to democratic rule and can encourage a variety of political deformations. But the obvious pitfalls are not the end of the story. A long list of abuses notwithstanding, secrecy, like openness, remains an essential prerequisite of self-governance. Ross’s study is a welcome and timely addition to the small body of literature examining this important subject. —Gabriel Schoenfeld Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute Author of Necessary Secrets: National Security, the Media, and the Rule of Law (W.W.

  • Journalistic Pathfinding: How the Parliamentary Press Gallery Adapted to News Management Under the Conservative Government of Stephen Harper
    Journalistic Pathfinding: How the Parliamentary Press Gallery Adapted to News Management Under the Conservative Government of Stephen Harper by Jennifer Ditchburn A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Journalism School of Journalism and Communication Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014 Jennifer Ditchburn ii Abstract Commentary on the contemporary interface between the media and governments often portrays outnumbered reporters as willingly accepting information subsidies as a way of meeting the demands of the 24/7 multi-platform newsroom. But this view fails to take into account the impact on journalistic routines of more extreme forms of government news management, which block access to information and to politicians rather than merely packaging or “spinning” them favourably. The experience of the parliamentary press gallery in Ottawa vis-à-vis Stephen Harper’s government offers an excellent opportunity to take a closer look at the practical realities of political journalists confronted with stringent government news management tactics. A rupture in the historic role relationship between the gallery and the Prime Minister’s Office resulted in journalists adapting their techniques. They became pathfinders seeking out new routes – alternative human and data sources – to reach the information they needed to write their stories and prepare broadcasts. iii Acknowledgments One of the first things you’re supposed to do when embarking on the Master of Journalism program at Carleton University is come up with a thesis topic. For someone like me, having been away from university for 16 years doing hard news, the academic ideas weren’t exactly flowing freely.

  • Oh Jeremy Corbyn” – Will You Chose the Old Or the Young ?
    “Oh Jeremy Corbyn” – Will You Chose The Old or The Young ? Blog 20 July by Chris Rose, http://threeworlds.campaignstrategy.org/?p=1533 Photo: ParisMatch, Jeremy Corbyn à Glastonbury. Dylan Martinez/Reuters Can the UK avoid Brexit ? While nearly all attention focuses on Britain’s beleagured Prime Minister Theresa May, the person who could most easily swing it is the newly popular Labour Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn. Whether he does or not, may come down to making a choice he’d rather not make, between the old and the young, between the past and the future. Why so ? Because any of the more plausible routes to Brexit Exit require a significant shift in public opinion, dignified by many MPs after the 2016 EU Referendum, as ‘the Will of the People’. Corbyn is in a position to deliver that shift in mood, whereas May is not. This blog explores why Corbyn probably does not want to do that but he might have to. 1 The Public Mood Is the Will Of The People Mood is pivotal because political credibility increasingly demands staying on the right side of it. Mood captured in opinion polling (see more later) is an expression of the public will. It’s affected by perceptions of events and options on offer, and politicians still have some power to shape those options. As all pollsters and politicians know, people tend not to back options that do not look credible, for instance if nobody in a position of influence seems to back them (‘value expectancy’ theory), and cannot back options that are not put to them.

  • Uti Possidetis Juris, and the Borders of Israel
    PALESTINE, UTI POSSIDETIS JURIS, AND THE BORDERS OF ISRAEL Abraham Bell* & Eugene Kontorovich** Israel’s borders and territorial scope are a source of seemingly endless debate. Remarkably, despite the intensity of the debates, little attention has been paid to the relevance of the doctrine of uti possidetis juris to resolving legal aspects of the border dispute. Uti possidetis juris is widely acknowledged as the doctrine of customary international law that is central to determining territorial sovereignty in the era of decolonization. The doctrine provides that emerging states presumptively inherit their pre-independence administrative boundaries. Applied to the case of Israel, uti possidetis juris would dictate that Israel inherit the boundaries of the Mandate of Palestine as they existed in May, 1948. The doctrine would thus support Israeli claims to any or all of the currently hotly disputed areas of Jerusalem (including East Jerusalem), the West Bank, and even potentially the Gaza Strip (though not the Golan Heights).

  • Emma Bell, La Politique Travailliste Du Brexit : Une Stratégie Pour
    LA POLITIQUE TRAVAILLISTE DU BREXIT : UNE STRATÉGIE POUR FAIRE AVANCER LE CORBYNISME ? EMMA BELL * a stratégie du parti travailliste au sujet du Brexit fait souvent l’objet de vives critiques. Elle est considérée comme « ambiguë »1, « confuse et contradictoire »2, voire Lcomme « facilitant l’approche des conservateurs à l’égard du Brexit »3. Elle a été citée comme une des raisons qui a motivé la décision de huit députés travaillistes de quitter le parti en février dernier. On reproche au leader du parti, Jeremy Corbyn, d’avoir été insuffisamment enthousiaste en faisant campagne pour le vote « Remain » à l’approche du référendum de juin 2016 ; d’avoir donné son soutien au déclenchement de l’article 50 du Traité de Lisbonne ; d’avoir pris trop de temps pour appeler le Parlement à organiser un deuxième référendum… Il existe pourtant peu de tentatives de comprendre cette stratégie qui, loin d’être ambiguë, est en réalité claire et cohérente avec le projet du parti sous la direction de Corbyn.
