  • FORCED LABOR EXPORTS from CHINA: UPDATE No.1
    September 19, 1991 FORCED LABOR EXPORTS FROM CHINA: UPDATE No.1 Since April 1991, when Asia Watch issued its report on how prison labor in China is used to produce goods for export1, several developments have taken place: -- the Chinese government initially denied that any such exports had ever occurred, but later, in the face of mounting evidence, admitted that some prison-made goods could have reached the US through "loopholes in management;"2 -- new evidence has been uncovered which further validates Asia Watch's original assertion that the policy of exporting prison-made goods has, in fact, firm central government approval. The evidence includes a confidential set of guidelines, dating from 1979, from the Ministry of Public Security specifying how such foreign sales are to be arranged. It also includes a number of recently issued English-language sales promotion brochures from labor reform camp enterprises themselves; -- the Bush administration has announced a stepped-up investigation through the Customs Service of Chinese products and stated that any goods found to have been made by prison labor would be denied entry to the US. Thus far, no goods have been banned from entry. The Chinese ReReactionaction On April 29, 1991, ten days after the Asia Watch report was issued, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman called the charges that China used cheap prison labor to expand its exports "groundless."3 A week later, the Chinese ambassador to the US, Zhu Qizhen, insisted that Chinese economic and trade departments "have never granted these reform-through-labor units any right whatsoever to engage in foreign trade."4 1 News from Asia Watch, "Prison Labor in China," April 19, 1991.

  • Gen John W. Vessey, Jr Interviewer: Thomas Saylor, Ph.D
    Narrator: Gen John W. Vessey, Jr Interviewer: Thomas Saylor, Ph.D. Date of interview: 19 February 2013 Location: Vessey residence, North Oaks, MN Transcribed by: Linda Gerber, May 2013 Edited for clarity by: Thomas Saylor, Ph.D., September 2013 and February 2014 (00:00:00) = elapsed time on digital recording TS: Today is Tuesday, 19 February 2013. This is another of our ongoing interview cycle with General John W. Vessey, Jr. My name is Thomas Saylor. Today we’re at the Vessey residence in North Oaks, Minnesota, on a bright, clear and very cold winter day. General Vessey, we wanted at first to add some additional information and perspective on Lebanon, going back to 1983. I’ll let you put the conversation in motion here. JV: After we talked last week I got to thinking that we hadn’t really explained as fully as we might have the confusion and the multiple points of view that existed both in the United States and in the world in general about Lebanon and our involvement. I’m not sure that what I remembered after you left will add any clarity to (chuckles) your reader’s understanding, but at least they’ll understand the muddled picture that I was looking at, at the time. TS: And that’s important, because even in the contemporary news accounts of the time there is a sense of confusion and wondering really what the Americans are trying to accomplish, as well as the fact that the Americans aren’t the only Western force even in Lebanon at the time.

INTRODUCTION In 2006, U.S. Army Lieutenant General Russel Honoré, the commander responsible for coordinating the U.S. military’s Hurricane Katrina response, spoke at an intelligence community symposium about the contribution intelligence information made during Katrina relief efforts.1 While noting the value of such intelligence, Honoré explained that conflicting views about the legality of its domestic application limited its utility.2 Specifically, he stated that while some government officials were advising him that satellite intelligence capabilities could not be used within the United States, others were asking: “‘Why aren’t you using that intel stuff to tell us what’s going on down there?’”3 By providing disaster planners and responders with a common operational picture,4 satellite imagery plays an important role in both manmade and natural disaster prevention and response.

  • MIDDLE EAST WATCH OVERVIEW Human Rights Developments The
    MIDDLE EAST WATCH OVERVIEW Human Rights Developments The Middle East and North Africa remain plagued by severe human rights problems. The torture of political detainees is commonplace, and often routine. Extrajudicial executions and executions after trials lacking in due process take place with regularity in Iraq, Iran and, to a lesser extent, Saudi Arabia. In the past, the Syrian authorities have been guilty of this abuse as well. Arguably, the killing of suspected militants in Egypt and the Israeli-occupied territories, when arrests could have been effectedCa feature of the civil strife plaguing both regionsCalso constitute extrajudicial executions by government agents. In counterpoint, armed underground groups often assassinate suspected opponents in these regions, as well as in Algeria. The officially sanctioned persecution of religious or ethnic minorities, or the absence of government protection in the face of attacks by members of the majority community, is an endemic problem in parts of the Middle East. For instance, during 1992, Palestinians and Bedoon residents of Kuwait endured unrelenting pressures aimed at forcing them out of the country; Baha'is and evangelical Christians faced renewed persecution in Iran. The arbitrary detention of government opponents is also rampant throughout the region. From Morocco to Iran, tens of thousands are in jail on politically motivated grounds; even the Kurdish authorities, ruling over an autonomous enclave of some 3.5 million people in northern Iraq, resorted in late 1992 to the detention without charge of hundreds of sympathizers of militant parties. The end of the Cold War and subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union transformed prospects for the promotion of human rights in the Middle East and North Africa (the Maghreb states).

  • Johnnie Carson
    1 Statement of Ambassador Johnnie Carson Assistant Secretary of State Bureau of African Affairs Senate Foreign Relations Committee June 28, 2012 "Economic Statecraft: Embracing Africa’s Market Potential" Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee: Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to address the committee on what I feel is an important and timely topic. The U.S. government is committed to expanding trade and investment in sub-Saharan Africa and the numbers show our commitment. U.S. trade to and from Africa has grown significantly in the past ten years. U.S. exports to sub-Saharan Africa tripled from just under $7 billion U.S. dollars in 2001 to over $21 billion dollars in 2011. As Secretary of State Clinton said at the annual AGOA Forum two weeks ago: “twelve years ago, the United States passed the Africa Growth and Opportunity act because we believed that the countries of Africa had tremendous untapped economic potential that could and should be developed. We shared a vision with many of you of a future in which economic growth in Africa would fuel growth and prosperity worldwide…trade and investment would multiply…and 2 people across the continent would have new opportunities to start their own businesses, earn higher salaries, improve their lives, and lift the fortunes of their families and communities.” In large part, this vision is becoming reality. It is my firm belief that Africa represents the next global economic frontier. Sub-Saharan Africa continues to weather the global economic crisis more successfully than other regions, and is home to six – and soon to be seven – of the ten fastest growing economies in the world.
