  • Open Letter to New York State Senators
    New York State Senate Capitol Building Empire State Plaza, Albany New York, 12224 September 12, 2018 Dear Senators, This letter is in response to a passing of New York State Senate Resolution J4960, commemorating the 4th Annual New York Immortal Regiment March organized by the Russian Youth of America on May 5, 2018. We, the undersigned, American citizens and residents are profoundly concerned by Resolution J4960 passed on May 8, 2018 by the New York State Senate, that commemorates the 4th Annual New York Immortal Regiment March and the Russian Youth of America that organizes this event in New York City. We have all reasons to think that the Immortal Regiment March in the U.S. is backed by the Russian government via financial and informational support. Moreover, it serves as an instrument of the Kremlin’s “soft power” - economic and cultural influence to promote Putin’s agenda in the United States. While the Immortal Regiment March began as a nonpolitical private grassroots initiative in Russia in 2011, it was soon hijacked by the Russian government to serve official propaganda efforts that praises Russian military victories. The aggressiveness and ideological orientation of the marches manifest themselves through effective visual symbols, most recognizably the St. George ribbon. This ribbon has recently became a symbol of Russian backed troops in Eastern Ukraine. As well as pro-Kremlin organizations, such as AntiMaidan, NOD and SERB that attack pro-democracy activists in Russia. Thereafter, the Immortal Regiment March was effectively transplanted abroad via organizations like the Russian Youth of America, and gained popularity in many parts of the U.S., including cities in N.Y.

  • Remarks by H.E. MURATA Takashi, Ambassador of Japan to Finland, “Online Seminar on Marine Plastic Pollution” on 5 March 2021
    Remarks by H.E. MURATA Takashi, Ambassador of Japan to Finland, “Online Seminar on Marine Plastic Pollution” on 5 March 2021 My name is MURATA Takashi, Ambassador of Japan to Finland. It is my great pleasure to host an online seminar to share Japanese experience with distinguished experts in Finland and Baltic Sea countries on marine environment protection in a challenging COVID-19 pandemic situation. On this opportunity, I wish to say a few words. First, I would like to express my deep appreciation to Rüdiger Strempel, Executive Secretary of HELCOM and its secretariat for their great support in organizing this online seminar. My deepest gratitude also goes to Prof. ISOBE Atsuhiko, Research Institute for Applied Mechanics of Kyushu University, for lecturing at this seminar out of his busy schedule. Prof. Isobe is a Japanese leading expert, who is active domestically and internationally, with physical oceanography as his major field of interest. He is working to elucidate how marine plastic litter is being transported and to predict the amount of floating microplastics in the oceans in 50 years, for the first time in the world, from scientific viewpoint. Now marine plastic litter is one of global environmental challenges that the international community as a whole should address. In virtue of its high-level convenience, plastics are said to be the greatest invention of the 20th century. However, maritime pollution by plastic litter has been spread globally and concern has also increased over adverse effects of the floating microplastics on marine environment and ecosystem in the oceans. The report released by World Economic Forum in 2016 predicted that oceans would contain more plastics than fish by weight by 2050.

  • US to Host G7
    US to host G7 May 14, 2020 Source: The Hindu Manifest pedagogy: G7 and G20 are two different power blocs in the world today who have gained significance with the growing multipolar world order. Hence it is necessary to read both from prelims as well as mains perspective. In news: Trump to host G7 meeting via video conference Placing it in syllabus: Multilateral groupings Dimensions: G7 history origin and headquarters Its contributions Criticisms against G7 and G20 as an alternative to it Content: The 46th G7 summit which was scheduled to be held through June 12, 2020, in Camp David, United States, will be conducted by video conference in response to the global coronavirus pandemic. Participants will include the leaders of the G7 member states as well as representatives of the European Union. The decision has come as nations around the world have sealed their borders and have banned travel to stop the virus’ spread. G7 history origin: G7 stands for “Group of Seven” industrialized nations. It used to be known as the G8 (Group of Eight) until 2014 when Russia was excluded because of its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. France, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States and West Germany formed the Group of Six in 1975 so that the noncommunist powers could come together to discuss important economic issues, global security etc… Canada joined the group in 1976. Russia joined in 1998 and signaled a cooperation between East and West after the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991. The G7 is an informal bloc and takes no mandatory decisions, so the leaders’ declarations at the end of the summit are not binding.

    Submission for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) under Human Rights Council resolution A/HRC/43/37 June 2020 This is the second written submission for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) to providing information on the human rights situation in occupied Abkhazia, Georgia, and the occupied Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia, Georgia under the HRC resolution A/HRC/43/37. The submission is provided by the Human Rights Education and Monitoring Center (EMC), a human rights organization, that works to support the creation of a free, equal society based on solidarity. EMC covers existing challenges and works on structural violence and repression in an interdisciplinary manner. Furthermore, EMC’s Equality Policy Program is engaged in assessing and advocacy of human rights challenges in the occupied territories of Georgia, Due to the lack of a political and legal solution to the prolonged conflict in the mentioned two regions, the protection of human rights is challenged and undermined. For decades this situation is deteriorating and unfortunately, the resolution is frequently politicized and is used by the political powers to gain additional leverage over each other. In particular, de facto authorities and the Russian Federation are often using their de facto and effective control over the region to gain further political power via their discriminatory policies towards ethnic Georgians living in these territories. Furthermore, their policies are infringing social, political and civil rights of Abkhazians and Ossetians as self-isolation and restrictive approaches affect their fundamental rights, including freedom of movement, education, right to adequate healthcare, etc. Bearing in mind the limited space of the submission we would like to highlight several problems applicable to the reporting period only.

  • 2019 G20 Osaka Summit Host Prime Minister Abe Failed to Lead on Climate Issue Japan Should Raise Its Ambition Level to Reduce GHG Emissions
    Press Release 2019 G20 Osaka Summit Host Prime Minister Abe Failed to Lead on Climate Issue Japan should Raise its Ambition Level to Reduce GHG Emissions June 29, 2019 Mie Asaoka, President, Kiko Network On June 29, the 2019 G20 Osaka Summit concluded with participants agreeing on a leaders’ declaration. Climate change and energy were important topics on the agenda, and the declaration states that signatories to the Paris Agreement (excluding the United States) “reaffirm their commitment to its full implementation,” and by 2020 “aim to communicate, update or maintain our NDCs” (Nationally Determined Contributions). It also states that they “emphasize the importance of providing financial resources to assist developing countries…” On the other hand, the United States reiterated its position to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, as described in a separate clause of the declaration. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had emphasized that as host country of the G20 Summit, Japan would demonstrate leadership to address the climate crisis. However, he took a compromising stance from the beginning to reach a consensus, being considerably toned down in deference to US President Donald Trump’s administration. Japan’s watered-down draft led to conflict between the US and European countries over the wording, and jeopardized the agreement at one point. Japan’s weak stance on climate change was a betrayal not only for governments that are already committed to stronger climate action and a coal phase-out, but also for people around the world suffering from a tangible climate crisis. Citizens’ protests were held concurrently in several countries to criticize Japan’s climate policy, especially its promotion of coal power.

I was born in 1925, April 17, in Moscow. I am a native Muscovite. I was born, lived, and studied in Moscow. I lived in the center of the city, on Pushkin Square. Every Muscovite knows that spot. The war encountered me, or rather I encountered the war, in its very first days, when the Germans were bombing Moscow. At night, we would go on the roof of our building and throw down the firebombs dropped by the Germans in an attempt to burn Moscow down. Moscow was engulfed in flames. I vividly remember how it felt to look down from the roof at our beautiful city, our capital, our beloved city, and see it burning on all sides. This is how I was introduced to the war. In the first days of the war I went to work at a military factory. Actually, before working at the military factory, I went to work as a sailor on a steam tugboat that was transporting valuables out of Moscow. These included Gosbank [State Bank] assets, the paintings and property of Tretyakov Gallery and [other] renown Moscow art museums.
