This initiative symbolizes our determination to take action on two pressing matters: enhancing public awareness about development cooperation issues and strengthening the effectiveness of EU development assistance in view of the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals. The event, to be renewed each year, isj>art of the follow-up to the new European Consensus on development, which emphasized the common values, principles and commitments of the European Union in favour of poverty eradication. In light of this agenda, the European Development Days shall work in an inclusive and participatory approach towards sharing our perspectives about key issues of international cooperation. The European Development Days of 2006 shall advocate a positive message about "Africa on the move" and include two components. The first one will aim at raising public awareness among European citizens of issues related to development. A great number of cultural or entertaining manifestations, such as exhibitions, will be organised for this purpose. Furthermore, any opportunity for synergy will be encouraged and shall constitute an essential pan to this event's success. A good illustration is the Millennium campaign, organised on this occasion, in collaboration with the European Commission.

[email protected] The second component will take the form of a three-day forum targeted at development professionals. On November 15-17, they will be invited to participate in open and thought- provoking debates, which should fuel our visions and practices. In 2006, the focus shall be put on the pivotal issue of governance, with plenary sessions highlighting its various understandings. In addition, roundtables will cover the various political, economic and social aspects of governance, namely democratic process, state rehabilitation, fight against corruption, natural resources management, consolidation of social rights and protection of vulnerable groups. The ambition of the development professionals' forum is to foster enriching and useful exchanges. Accordingly, the choice of speakers, equally representing European and partner countries, shall epitomize a balance between the political, economic, social and academic arenas. In addition, for the 2006 edition of the forum to be a real opportunity for a euro- African dialogue, special attention will be dedicated to a strong participation of African officials.

  • Louis Michel Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid European Commission 29 February 2008 Ref: B751
    Louis Michel Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid European Commission 29 February 2008 Ref: B751 Dear Mr Michel, Forthcoming visit to Cuba Ahead of your official visit to Cuba next week, Amnesty International would like to take the opportunity to send you a summary of our main concerns in relation to the human rights situation in Cuba. We welcome your visit and hopes that you will take advantage of this opportunity to raise a number of human rights concerns, and to offer support to the new leadership of Cuba in introducing much needed reforms to guarantee the protection of human rights. Reform in Cuba must start with the unconditional release of all prisoners of conscience, the judicial review of all sentences passed after unfair trials, the abolition of the death penalty and the introduction of measures to ensure respect of fundamental freedoms and the independence of the judiciary. Amnesty International calls on the new Cuban government to allow all United Nations’ human rights bodies and independent human rights organisations to visit the country. Since 1988 Cuba has declined to reply to Amnesty International’s requests to visit the country. For the past 40 years the organisation has campaigned to stop and prevent human rights violations committed by the Cuban government. Amnesty International has also expressed serious concern about the negative impact of the United States’ economic embargo on the ability of Cubans to fully enjoy their human rights. While the overall human rights concerns remain the same, there have been developments since July 2006, when Fidel Castro transferred his responsibilities to other senior officials, including his brother Raúl Castro Ruz.

  • The Paris-London-Brussels Axis Is Doing Well (MFI)
    N° 658 AFRICA-FRANCE 05.11.03 Africa: the Paris-London-Brussels axis is doing well (MFI) France and Britain, which are among Africa’s principal donors for both historical and political as well as economic reasons, are both claiming the rôle of advocates of the poorest countries. They intend to act as "locomotives" on their behalf inside the European Union (EU), now enlarged to 25 members. When it comes to helping Africa, France and Britain usually overcome their differences. And, in this context, they have found a significant ally in the new European Commissioner in charge of development and humanitarian affairs, Belgium’s former Foreign Minister Louis Michel. This general mobilisation in favour of supporting sustainable development has coincided with this year’s British chairmanship of the G8 and, for the second half of the year, of the EU, and with the launch by the European Commission of a New Strategy for Africa (NSA) for the decade up to 2015. The NSA lays down a framework for action by the 25 EU member states and the Commission with a view to backing Africa’s efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). Louis Michel has said the adoption of the NSA "marks a real turning point in efforts to help Africa pull through by itself; one of the main challenges facing the EU in development cooperation is to ensure a coherent and efficient approach by 26 different actors." The approval of the strategy, in October 2005, was followed by a joint meeting of all the European Commissioners with their African opposite numbers in the African Union Commission, chaired by Mali’s former Chief of state Alpha Oumar Konare.

While nuclear weapons have in the past perhaps fulfilled a stabilising role, we live today in a world in which the proliferation of nuclear weapons steadily continues and the risk of a terrorist attack with nuclear weapons demands drastic action. The Cold War is history. It is time to adapt our nuclear policy to current circumstances. Countries like Pakistan, India and North-Korea have recently joined the nuclear club. The chance is high that Iran and other countries in that region will follow, which would provoke unprecedented destabilization in an already volatile region. Therefore, the crucical question is how can we manage this situation? It is impossible to continue to deny nuclear weapons to other states as long as we ourselves have them. The choice is as follows: a world in which we accept that a growing number of states produce nuclear weapons, or a world in which the nine existing nuclear weapon states greatly reduce the salience of nuclear weapons, and take the goal of their elimination seriously.
