Ayurvedic drugmakers in India protest UK herb ban
The clamp down on unregistered herbal medicinal products by the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has caused consternation in India. The sell-though period ended on 30th April 2014, and the Indian Business Standard has reported: “Ayurvedic drugmakers from India, under the Ayurvedic Drug Manufacturers‘ Association (ADMA), are protesting the ban. The body has approached the commerce ministry for resolution”. The EC’s Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products Directive (THMPD) requirements have made it almost impossible for complex non-Western traditions (e.g. Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine) to obtain traditional herbal registrations (THRs) for their products and industry concerns have largely been ignored to date.

INVISIBLE, FORGOTTEN, IGNORED: DOM REFUGEES IN TURKEY
Since the outbreak of the war in Syria, millions of civilians have fled the country. According to UNHCR figures, as of 25 May 2014 there are over 2.7 million registered refugees from Syria, mostly in neighbouring countries.
Many of them found refuge in Turkey. It is estimated that the total number of registered and non-registered refugees from Syria in Turkey already exceeds 1 million. According to the UNCHR, the number of Syrian refugees in Turkey may reach 1.4 million by the end of 2014.
While the registered refugees living in camps and have access to basic services and facilities, unregistered refuges totally depend on their own capacities to survive. There are various reports in media describing the miserable living conditions that these people are in. Refugees belonging to the Domari people and nomadic groups which are perceived as Roma by the majority are in a particular precarious situation. The number of Domari refugees in Turkey is estimated at around 30,000; other Domari refugees can be found in countries such as Iraq, Jordan or Lebanon.
According to reports from refugees, Domari people were also targeted during the conflict in Syria and forced to leave their homes. Prior to the war there were already reports that Domari people were subject to discrimination and had been excluded from mainstream society.
According to the Dom Research Center, up to 300,000 Domari lived in Syria prior to the war.
ERRC staff member Sinan Gökçen travelled to South East Turkey together with local activist and researcher Kemal Vural Tarlan to visit Domari refugees in order to get first-hand information on their situation as refugees in Turkey and on what happened to them during the conflict in Syria.
The situation is alarming. Domari refugees in Turkey are living in miserable conditions in informal camps or in abandoned buildings, without access to official refugee camps and to basic services like water, sewage etc. Begging, and collecting paper and scrap metals are the main sources of income. Their overall health situation is precarious and children cannot attend school.
The ERRC will undertake comprehensive research into the situation of Domari refugees in Turkey.

In an entirely unsurprising vote Russia and China have voted against referring the situation in Syria to the ICC. Whilst I do not accept the position advocated that a referral would have ended the conflict I do accept that a referral was entirely necessary to address crimes committed by all sides. Let us now see how the international community moves forward. I have always advocated for the creation of an ad hoc international tribunal to deal with the situation in Syria and that is clearly the discussion that must now take place. The ICC was never likely to solve the conflict in Syria but a well thought out system of justice and accountability is now clearly needed.
