Naresh, The crisis in Syria is a human rights catastrophe. Over 70,000 Syrians have been killed—mostly civilians, over 3,700 children—since the democracy movement started in March of 2011. And the number is mounting with no end in sight. Mass atrocities are complex, organized crimes . The Assad regime is supported by "enablers." These are governments, commercial entities, and individuals that provide weapons, ammunition, surveillance technology, troops, fuel, and financial support that sustain the commission of atrocities. Together, these enablers form a supply chain that fuels Assad's crimes against humanity. We have been tracking this supply chain since the conflict spiraled into a crisis and found that the United States is well positioned to disrupt it.  Urge President Barack Obama to stop the supply chain to Syrian atrocities! President Obama has made stopping mass atrocities a "core national security interest." This manifestly applies to Syria. Ye...

Fewer people are dying of tuberculosis in South-East Asia New Delhi, 21 March 2013 :  Significantly fewer people are dying of tuberculosis today in South-East Asia compared with 1990, according to the World Health Organization. The death rate due to the disease has decreased by more than 40% in the past 13 years. This achievement is attributed to greater public awareness of TB, an increased number of cases being detected, and more people having access to adequate treatment because of the sustained efforts by Member States, assisted by WHO.  On World TB Day 2013, WHO calls on Member States to “Stop TB in South-East Asia – zero death to zero infection.” Emphasizing that tuberculosis elimination is a social and public health responsibility, Dr Samlee Plianbangchang, Regional Director, WHO South-East Asia Region, said, “To successfully eliminate TB, we must pay attention to the underlying causes of the spread of the disease, such as poverty, the environment, and nutrition...

Siachen: Possible New International Moves for ‘Mediation’ Share on yahoomail Share on linkedin Share on facebook More Sharing Services P. K. Upadhyay March 20, 2013 The back channel parleys over Siachen sponsored by some international think tanks were in the news a few months back. A wide section of India’s strategic community took exception to what was purportedly agreed to by Indian participants in these parleys. These confabulations, held under the aegis of the  Atlantic Council  and other US/NATO linked think tanks, gave an impression to many to be promoting a demilitarization of the glacier and the adjoining ridges without settling the issue of territorial jurisdiction or proper and adequate authentication of the current position of the Indian and Pakistani troops in the region. In addition, no measures appeared to be on the table to ensure confidence building and an honest implementation of the proposed agreement. Since then, however, the din and ...
