Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, der Luftkrieg gegen Jugoslawien war in mehrerer Hinsicht eine histori- i sche Zäsur. Es war der erste Krieg der NATO seit ihrer Gründung. Er de- monstrierte die Wandlung der atlantischen Allianz von einer Verteidi- gungsgemeinschaft hin zu einem Interventionsbündnis, wie sie auch auf dem NATO-Gipfel in Washington am 23./24.4.1999 beschlossen wurde. Gleichzeitig wurde mit der Selbstmandatierung der NATO die UN auf ein Nebengleis der internationalen Politik geschoben. Eine neue Weltordnung unter dem Dach der UN, gestützt auf verbindliche Prinzipien des Völkerrechts, von der sich viele nach Ende des Kalten Krieges eine Zivilisierung der internationalen Beziehungen erhofften, ist spätestens im Kosovo begraben worden. Zum erstenmal seit 1945 waren deutsche Soldaten direkt an Kampf- handlungen gegen einen anderen Staat beteiligt. Der Einsatz markiert auch den Abschluß eines zehnjährigen Prozesses der Militarisierung der deutschen Außenpolitik und führt die Erklärung des rot-grünen "Reform"-Bündnisses ad absurdum, deutsche Politik sei Friedenspoli- tik. Das Einlenken der serbischen Staatsführung hat den westlichen Demokratien den Einsatz von Bodentruppen und der deutschen Regie- rung möglicherweise das Auseinanderbrechen der Koalition erspart. Dennoch führte die deutsche Beteiligung an der NATO-Intervention zur heftigen innenpolitischen Kontroversen innerhalb des friedenspo- litischen Spektrums, in denen sich Gegner und Befürworter des Einsat- zes unversöhnlich gegenüberstanden. Die Diskussion polarisierte sich um die emotional besetzten Begriffe "Nie wieder Krieg" und "Nie wie- der Auschwitz". Die Kontroverse, ob die serbischen Menschenrechts- verletzungen im Kosovo einen militärischen Schlag zu deren Unterbin- dung rechtfertigten oder ob Krieg als Mittel zur Erreichung humanitä- rer Ziele ein zynisches Paradoxon darstellt, ist auch nach Ende der Kampfhandlungen weiterhin offen. In den Kosovo kehren nur die Kosovo-Albaner in ein zerstörtes Land zurück, gleichzeitig verläßt ein Teil der serbischen Minderheit das Land. Während dem proklamierten Ziel der westlichen Staaten - Auto- nomie des multi-ethnischen Kosovo bei gleichzeitigem Verbleib inner- halb des jugoslawischen Territorialstaates - damit zusehends der Bo- den entzogen wird, ist keine der dem Konflikt zugrunde liegenden Ur- sachen bisher beseitigt. Es steht zu befürchten, daß das Engagement Editorial 3 der westlichen Staaten beim wirtschaftlichen Wiederauf- bau der Region - einer im wahren Sinne humanitären In- tervention - weniger enthusiastisch ausfallen wird als bei der "akuten Krisenbewältigung".

Eure ami-Redaktion 4 Editorial/Impressum Der Krieg ist nun endlich vorbei. Es wird aufgeräumt und exhumiert, das ganze Ausmaß der serbischen Exzesse und Grausamkeiten noch einmal präsentiert. Die Konzentrationslager tauchen wieder auf und der Urheber dieser wirklich humanitären Katastrophe ist festgena- gelt: die Serben. Die in ihre Heimat zurückströmenden Albaner beju- beln die NATO-Truppen - wer mag sich da noch dem Charme des Frie- dens dieser "humanitären Intervention" verweigern. Norman Paech Recht oder Gewalt?

Bundestag den Beschluss der alten Regierung mit Mehrheit abgesegnet hatte, auch ohne UN- Mandat die Bundeswehr am NATO-Einsatz in Jugoslawien zu beteiligen. Alle buchten die Moral und die Rettung der Men- schenrechte für sich. Eine humanitäre Katastrophe, ein Völ- kermord müsse verhindert werden. Doch was helfen uns die sichtbaren Seelenqualen der Politiker, die Eskalation ihrer Rechtsfertigungsprosa, da ihr Krieg weder die Menschen- rechte schützen noch die Flüchtlingsströme verhindern konnte, dafür weite Landstriche verwüstete und Versor- gungseinrichtungen zerstörte, vor allem aber eine bislang noch gültige Rechtsordnung zwischen den Staaten und Völ- kern umstieß und in den Bombenkratern begrub?

  • It Is 4:00 Am on the First Day of My New Life As an Accused Predator in the Universe of American Journalism. I Was Ambushed
    It is 4:00 am on the first day of my new life as an accused predator in the universe of American journalism. I was ambushed and then perp walked across the pages of The Washington Post and Variety as an avatar of male misogyny, taken to the guillotine and stripped of any honor and achievement I had earned in more than a half century of journalism and citizenship. I am angry, hurt and unmoored from what I thought would be the final passage of my life and career, a mix of written and broadcast journalism, philanthropy and participation in environmental and social causes that have always given extra meaning to my life. Instead I am facing a long list of grievances from a former colleague who left NBC News angry that she had failed in her pursuit of stardom. She has unleashed a torrent of unsubstantiated criticism and attacks on me more than twenty years after I opened the door for her and a new job at Fox news. Linda Vester was given the run of the Washington Post and Variety to vent her grievances, to complain that I tickled her without permission (you read that right), that I invaded her hotel room, accepted an invitation to her apartment under false pretenses and in general was given a free hand to try to destroy all that I have achieved with my family, my NBC career, my writing and my citizenship. My family and friends are stunned and supportive. My NBC colleagues are bewildered that Vester, who had limited success at NBC News, a modest career at Fox and a reputation as a colleague who had trouble with the truth was suddenly the keeper of the flame of journalistic integrity.

  • Comcast Corporation; Rule 14A-8 No-Action Letter
    March 2, 2020 Via electronic mail Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Shareholder Proposal to Comcast Regarding Workplace Sexual Harassment on Behalf of Arjuna Capital Ladies and Gentlemen: Arjuna Capital has submitted a shareholder proposal (the “Proposal”) to Comcast (the “Company”) on behalf of George C. Jenne (the “Proponent”), who is the beneficial owner of common stock of Comcast. We are responding to the letter dated January 31, 2020 ("Company Letter") sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission by William H. Aaronson of Davis Polk. In that letter, the Company contends that the Proposal may be excluded from the Company’s 2020 proxy statement. We have reviewed the Proposal, as well as the letter sent by the Company, and based upon the foregoing, as well as the relevant rules, it is our opinion that the Proposal must be included in the Company’s 2019 proxy materials, and that it is not excludable under Rule 14a-8. A copy of this letter is being emailed concurrently to William H. Aaronson. SUMMARY The Proposal asks the Board of Directors to conduct an independent investigation into and prepare a report on risks posed by the Company's failures to prevent workplace sexual harassment. The Company seeks exclusion of the Proposal on the basis of Rule 14a-8(i)(7), claiming that the Proposal relates to the Company's ordinary business operations. Specifically, the Company argues that the Proposal relates to the Company’s general legal compliance program and policies.

  • School-Related Acts of Violence by Those on Or Withdrawing from Psychiatric Drugs
    SCHOOL-RELATED ACTS OF VIOLENCE BY THOSE ON OR WITHDRAWING FROM PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS Between 1988 and Jan. 2013, there have been at least 31 school-related acts of violence committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs resulting in 162 wounded and 72 killed. (In other school shootings, information about their drug use was never made public— neither confirming or refuting if they were under the influence of prescribed drugs). 1. St. Louis, Missouri - January 15, 2013: 34-year-old Sean Johnson walked onto the Stevens Institute of Business & Arts campus and shot the school's financial aid director once in the chest, then shot himself in the torso. Johnson had been taking prescribed drugs for an undisclosed mental illness. 1 2. Snohomish County, Washington – October 24, 2011: A 15-year-old girl went to Snohomish High School where police alleged that she stabbed a girl as many as 25 times just before the start of school, and then stabbed another girl who tried to help her injured friend. Prior to the attack the girl had been taking “medication” and seeing a psychiatrist. Court documents said the girl was being treated for depression. 2 3. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina - September 21, 2011: 14-year-old Christian Helms had two pipe bombs in his backpack, when he shot and wounded Socastee High School’s “resource” (police) officer. However the officer was able to stop the student before he could do anything further. Helms had been taking drugs for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and depression. 3 4. Planoise, France - December 13, 2010: A 17-year-old youth held twenty pre-school children and their teacher hostage for hours at Charles Fourier preschool.
