Bretton Woods Proj. @brettonwoodspr
In the Bretton Woods era, trade liberalization, the improvement of labour rights and working conditions, and the strengthening of environmental policies, were seen as mutually supportive. But is this always true? Can we continue to pretend to protect the rights of workers and to improve environmental protection, particularly through climate change mitigation strategies, within an agenda focused on trade liberalization? Is it credible to pursue trade policies that aim to expand the volumes of trade, without linking such policies to labour and environmental standards, seen as ’non-trade‘ concerns? This book asks these questions, offering a detailed analysis of whether linkage is desirable and legally acceptable under the disciplines of the World Trade Organization (WTO). It concludes that trade can work for sustainable development, but only if we see it as a means for social and environmental progress, including climate change mitigation, and if we avoid fetichizing it as an end to be pursued for its own sake..

Mutilating or desecrating corpses during a conflict is a war crime,“ says UN Human Rights chief Navi Pillay.
“I have repeatedly called for the case of Syria to be referred by the Security Council to the International Criminal Court, so that legal proceedings can begin against people believed to be responsible for serious international crimes, including war crimes and crimes against humanity, irrespective of whether they are on the side of the government or are in opposition to it.”

„We have to feed the people. It costs $10,000 a day,“ he said of the Rakhine camps.
„Our government cannot afford it. We are not in a situation to feed the people in the camps with the help of ordinary citizens so we have to accept humanitarian assistance from the international community. If we do not accept the humanitarian assistance they will say we are not human.“

2012-10-12 Update — BANGLADESH: Rohingya refugees face more restrictions
DHAKA, 12 October 2012 (IRIN) – Activists warn of further restrictions on Rohingya refugees in southeastern Bangladesh following recent communal violence.
“Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh will likely face more restrictions on their movement or arrests and push-backs,” Chris Lewa, director of the Arakan Project, an advocacy organization for the Rohingya, told IRIN on 12 October.
“We are seeing examples of that already on the ground.”
“Refugees International is concerned about the talk of further restrictions being imposed on Rohingya refugees in the Cox’s Bazar District of Bangladesh,” said Melanie Teff, a senior advocate with Refugees International.
The Rohingya – an ethnic, linguistic and religious minority who fled persecution en masse from Myanmar’s neighbouring Rakhine State decades ago – have long had a tenuous relationship with the Bangladeshi authorities who view them as illegal migrants.
Under Burmese law, they are de jure stateless and face constant persecution, say activists, while in Bangladesh they are barred from employment.
According to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), there are more than 200,000 Rohingya in Bangladesh today, including more than 30,000 documented refugees living in two government-run camps [Kutupalong and Nayapara] within 2km of the Burmese border.
UNHCR has not been permitted to register newly arriving Rohingya since mid-1992. The vast majority of Rohingya are living in villages and towns in the area and receive little to no assistance as UNHCR is only allowed to assist those who are documented.
Blame game
On 1 October, Bangladesh Home Minister Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir accused the Rohingya of involvement in a series of attacks on minority Buddhist temples and homes in the southeast.
The violence was reportedly triggered by a photo posted on Facebook that insulted Islam at the end of September, resulting in some of the worst sectarian violence in Bangladesh in years.
Thousands of Muslims went on the rampage in predominately Buddhist areas, setting ablaze temples and monasteries, resulting in dozens of homes burned.
„The attacks on temples and houses in Buddhist localities in Ramu and neighbouring areas in Cox’s Bazar (district) were perpetrated by radical Islamists,“ the minister told reporters.
„Rohingyas and political opponents of the government were also involved in the attack,” he added, describing the incident as a „premeditated and deliberate attempt“ to disrupt communal harmony.
Recent violence in Rakhine State has displaced thousands
Following the violence, law enforcement agencies were instructed to restrict the movement of Rohingya refugees and curb their interactions with the local community – a move confirmed by refugees on the ground.
“New check posts were established and we are facing abnormal restriction after the Ramu incident,” a 20-year-old Rohingya youth, who asked not to be identified, told IRIN by phone.
Impact in Myanmar
The impact of these events in Myanmar is also a concern. “What’s happening in Bangladesh will only exacerbate communal tension inside Rakhine State,” Lewa said.
In June 2012 violence flared in Rakhine State forcing tens of thousands of Rohingya to flee both within Myanmar and across the border.
According to Myanmar government estimates, more than 70,000 people are now living in temporary camps and shelters following inter-communal conflict.
Of particular concern is forced segregation and protracted displacement in the state capital, Sittwe, where Rohingya who lost their homes in the violence have been moved into camps, says Refugees International.
Despite repeated advocacy efforts by UNHCR, civil society and the diplomatic community, Bangladesh decided to close its borders to persons fleeing the country.
Those who managed to make it to Bangladesh were rounded up and sent back. However, there are no reliable figures on the number of arrivals and the number refouled.

2012-09-30 Update — U.N. chief urges careful handling of Myanmar Rohingyas issue
(Reuters) – U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged the world’s largest Islamic body on Saturday to „treat carefully“ the issue of the stateless Muslim Rohingyas in Myanmar because it could affect the reform process underway in the country, also known as Burma.
Over the past year, Myanmar has introduced the most sweeping reforms in the former British colony since a 1962 military coup. A semi-civilian government, stacked with former generals, has allowed elections, eased rules on protests and freed dissidents.

2012-09-16 Update — Myanmar investigates anti-Rohingya violence
Government commission makes first visit to Rakhine state to investigate violence between Buddhists and Muslims.
The government-appointed commission tasked with investigating violence in Rakhine State, Myanmar, has just completed its first visit to the area. The 27 members saw, first-hand, segregated communities following fighting that resulted in the deaths of at least 80 people and the burning of homes, businesses, Muslim mosques and Buddhist temples.
Around 60,000 Rohingya Muslims remain in camps after violence in June which followed the rape and murder of a Buddhist girl allegedly by three Muslim men. There are also thousands of Buddhists who are still displaced after their homes too were burned to the ground.
In the Muslim majority town of Maungdaw, Rakhine Buddhists are in camps, while in the capital Sittwe, where Buddhists have a slim majority, the homeless are mainly staying in monasteries where their numbers are decreasing as people slowly regain enough courage to return to their communities.
The Rohingya, however, have had their freedoms restricted. Officially, they’ve been told they can leave the camps, but with the caveat from security forces that their safety cannot be guaranteed.
‚Foreign invaders‘ http://farmlandgrab.org/
“We are not allowed to go back to our houses,” said Jakersharife, a Rohingya man whose sister and grandmother were killed in the fighting.
“We want our homes back. We want our land, our business and peace,” he said.

Rohingyas ‘have the right’ to apply for Burmese citizenship: minister. Rohingyas born in Burma are eligible to apply for citizenship if at least two generations of their families have lived in the country, Immigration Minister Khin Ye told the Radio Free Asia Burmese Service on Wednesday.
He said that those who met these requirements “have the right” to apply for citizenship in Burma, where many of them have lived in Rakhine State along the Bangladesh border for generations.
“Foreigners, like the Bengalis, have the right to apply for citizenship if they want to,” Khin Ye said, citing an amendment to the country’s constitution in 1982 during the rule of the former military regime. http://bit.ly/QV8aSx

Our View: Burmese Muslims face severe persecution | Azizah al-Hibri and Robert P. George
For Muslim Americans and other concerned citizens in Indianapolis and elsewhere in the nation, news of still more violence against the largely Muslim Rohingya of Burma highlights the plight of one of the world’s most persecuted communities and the need for a global response. The latest bloodshed, coupled with two prior months of riots and murders, has left more than 700 dead and 80,000 homeless. This violence has been compounded by the behavior of the Burmese security forces who, according to major human rights organizations, have participated in killings and rapes as well as mass arrests against the Rohingya.

The Rohingya crisis: ASEAN vs Red Cross | The Jakarta Post
„ASEAN as a home for all its members, ironically, has not yet offered any solution to extinguish the Rohingya fire. ASEAN therefore has to restore its credibility as a common home for all ASEAN peoples including the Rohingyas by optimizing the ASEAN Inter-governmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR), which has a special mandate to promote and protect human rights across the region…
In the spirit of non-interference, AICHR could facilitate the Myanmar government through various capacity-building supports for their law-enforcement officials such as community policing especially in the state of Rakhine.
This approach is in line with the mandate of the Outcome Document of the 2005 United Nations World Summit (A/RES/60/1, para. 138-140) and the Secretary-General’s 2009 Report (A/63/677) on the Implementation of the Responsibility to Protect which stipulates that the state carries the primary responsibility for protecting populations from genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing, and their incitement.“

2012-08-06 Update — Bangladesh’s lose – lose strategy on the Rohingya | Democratic Voice of Burma http://bit.ly/OGmcub.
The root cause of Rohingya refugees arriving in Bangladesh is the persecution they face, and also the long-term refusal of the government to allow international agencies full and free access to assist the Rohingya. Preventing refugees in Bangladesh from receiving aid doesn’t address this problem. Devoting significant military police and security resources to trying to turn back refugees doesn’t solve this problem. What is needed is a political solution.
Bangladesh could win significant international plaudits and favours by allowing Rohingya refugees’ entry to Bangladesh, and negotiating a fully-fledged international aid operation, funded internationally, to assist those refugees.

At the UN, every day is staff day. Please read my Huffington Post blog …
There is so much more to the United Nations here in Vienna than fountains and flagpoles.Venture down the hallways and corridors of the Vienna International Centre (VIC), on any given day, and you will find evidence of animated activity.From ardent discussions in the VIC’s multitude of meeting rooms, to the quieter, more earnest conversations in the cosy corners and anterooms of this sprawling UN hub – one of four along with New York, Geneva and Nairobi.The sweep of those activities is stunning. Human trafficking, nuclear technology, peaceful uses of space, migrants, industrial development and disarmament are just some examples of the labours undertaken in Vienna by its more than 4,000 staff in numerous international organisations.Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan saw Vienna’s role as engaging in the fight against uncivil society. This is a telling insight, but Vienna is much more. Innovation and creativity lie at the heart of this hub; a rich, golden seam running through all of the efforts at the imposing global coalface.Illustrations are not hard to find. When you think of the International Atomic Energy Agency, safe, secure, and peaceful nuclear technology is a clear goal, but so is child nutrition, confronting the Zika virus and helping countries control animal disease.Look at the material floating out of the Office for Outer Space Affairs and you discover discussions on satellite navigation and meteorology jostling with a global children’s art competition on looking at the stars.Glance at the UN Industrial Development Organization front page and it teams with support for hydro-electric stations, protecting the ozone layer and building corporate responsibility. And so it goes.When combined these efforts form a weighty contribution to making the world more civil, more peaceful, as well as the much wider work on every aspect of the sustainable development goals and Agenda 2030. Vienna may sit in middle Europe; but, it is quite literally plugged into the rest of the world.Yet this dialogue with discovery is not the end of the line. Essential discussion precedes effective delivery. The real worth of Vienna—the true currency of this vibrant UN hub—is not in its meetings, conferences, or consultations, it is in the help offered around the world to those most in need.The UN Office on Drugs and Crime, for example, operates in dozens of countries globally. Many of these offices are in complex and challenging places; locations where hardship is a grim daily reality.Staff in these offices are working with drug users, human trafficking victims, HIV/AIDS sufferers, and prisoners. All of them desperately need support and assistance. It is, therefore, far beyond the VIC and Austria that the UN in Vienna is doing its most inestimable work.But what ends far away, begins with the organisations here in Vienna and their country offices. Its origins are with the staff. Together they define the United Nations through their passion, commitment and dedication to the ethics and principles of this fine organisation.The truth, perhaps the one salient, self-evidential, existential truth of the United Nations is that it cannot advance peace, security, development and human rights without dedicated and specialized staff. They are quite literally the alpha and the omega of this organization. We thrive with them; without them, we would only ever fail.

News Lens: Education in Africa profits billionaire bleeding hearts …“public schools and their teachers, and the concept of education as a public good are under attack.”…Companies must be required to adhere to strict financial regulations, including independent auditing and regulations to monitor how government funds are spent. And, where they are in receipt of any government funding, directly or non-directly, they must be not-for profit. The profit motive has no place in dictating what is taught, how it’s taught nor how our schools are organized. https://t.co/l9y0EHwjOt
