Schläge, Elektroschocks, Schlaf- oder Nahrungsentzug, simuliertes Ertränken - Folter hat viele Gesichter. Kaum jemand kennt die damit verbundenen Problematiken besser als der Menschenrechtsexperte Manfred Nowak. Der Professor für Internationales Recht an der Universität Wien zeichnet in seinem aktuellen EU-Projekt "Atlas of Torture" ein düsteres Bild zur weltweiten Verbreitung der Folter.

...
Warum aber "Dritte Welt"? Der Name entstand in den Zeiten des Kalten Krieges, als sich zwei Militärblöcke gegenüberstanden. Der eine Block (die "Erste Welt" - so nannte man die demokratischen Industriestaaten) wurde von den USA angeführt.

Gegenüber standen der kommunistische, von der Sowjetunion angeführte Block (die sozialistischen Industriestaaten, die "Zweite Welt").

Die Länder, die keinem dieser Blöcke angehörten (die "Blockfreien") bekamen den Namen "Dritte Welt".

Die "Erste Welt" und "Zweite Welt" fanden spätestens mit dem Ende der Sowjetunion 1991 ihr Ende. Der Name "Dritte Welt" hat sich erhalten. Es gibt sogar gelegentlich die Bezeichnung "Vierte Welt" für die allerärmsten Länder, die ohne ausländische Hilfe gar nicht überleben können.

The "European Commission" embodies and upholds the general interest of the Union and is the driving force in the Union's institutional system. Its four main roles are to propose legislation to Parliament and the Council, to administer and implement Community policies, to enforce Community law (jointly with the Court of Justice) and to negotiate international agreements, mainly those relating to trade and cooperation.

Les Constitutions Françaises

Une constitution est la loi fondamentale d'un Etat qui définit les droits et les libertés des citoyens ainsi que l'organisation et les séparations du pouvoir politique (législatif, exécutif, judiciaire).

Elle précise l'articulation et le fonctionnement des différentes institutions qui composent l'Etat (Conseil Constitutionnel, Parlement, gouvernement, administration...)

G8, G7 (W3)

...
Die rätselhafte Abkürzung "G8", die man in den Zeitungen liest, bedeutet "Great Eight", übersetzt die "Großen Acht".
Gemeint sind damit die acht führenden Wirtschaftsnationen der Erde. Dies sind in alphabetischer Reihenfolge Deutschland, Frankreich, Großbritannien, Italien, Japan, Kanada, Russland, USA.

Vor 1997 hießen sie übrigens "G7", da Russland bis dahin nur als Beobachter dabei war.
...

Genfer Konvention (W3)

...
Viele Staaten haben sich darauf geeinigt, dass es ein ganz wichtiges Ziel in einem Krieg sein sollte, Menschen so gut wie möglich zu schützen. Deshalb haben sie die Genfer Verträge unterschrieben, in denen festgelegt ist, wie man die Zivilbevölkerung (also die Menschen, die keine Soldaten sind), Flüchtlinge, Verwundete und Kriegsgefangene behandeln muss. So dürfen zum Beispiel Kriegsgefangene nicht gefoltert oder getötet werden. Verstoßen ein Staat oder seine Angehörigen gegen diese Vorschriften, so können diese Personen vor dem Internationalen Gerichtshof in Den Haag angeklagt werden.

Der erste Vertrag wurde bereits 1864 vom Internationalen Roten Kreuz ausgearbeitet und in "Genf" von zwölf Regierungen unterschrieben. Mittlerweile gibt es insgesamt vier Verträge, die fast jedes Land unserer Erde unterschrieben hat.

IOM (W3)

Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners.

With 132 member states, a further 17 states holding observer status and offices in over 100 countries, IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.

IOM works to help ensure the orderly and humane management of migration, to promote international cooperation on migration issues, to assist in the search for practical solutions to migration problems and to provide humanitarian assistance to migrants in need, including refugees and internally displaced people.

The IOM Constitution recognizes the link between migration and economic, social and cultural development, as well as to the right of freedom of movement.

IOM works in the four broad areas of migration management:

• •Migration and development
• •Facilitating migration
• •Regulating migration
• •Forced migration.

IOM activities that cut across these areas include the promotion of international migration law, policy debate and guidance, protection of migrants' rights, migration health and the gender dimension of migration.

The Non-Aligned Movement: Description and History

The Non-Aligned Movement is a Movement of 115 members representing the interests and priorities of developing countries. The Movement has its origin in the Asia-Africa Conference held in Bandung, Indonesia in 1955. The meeting was convened upon the invitation of the Prime Ministers of Burma, Ceylon, India, Indonesia and Pakistan and brought together leaders of 29 states, mostly former colonies, from the two continents of Africa and Asia, to discuss common concerns and to develop joint policies in international relations. Prime Minister Nehru, the acknowledged senior statesman, along with Prime Ministers Soekarno and Nasser, led the conference. At the meeting Third World leaders shared their similar problems of resisting the pressures of the major powers, maintaining their independence and opposing colonialism and neo-colonialism, specially western domination.

...
Die meisten reichen Industriestaaten liegen auf der nördlichen Halbkugel, die ärmeren Entwicklungsländer Afrikas, Asiens und Lateinamerikas befinden sich überwiegend im südlichen Teil unserer Erde. Mit "Nord-Süd-Konflikt" sind die Probleme gemeint, die sich aus den Unterschieden zwischen den reichen und den armen Staaten ergeben. Man spricht dabei häufig von "Nord-Süd-Gefälle". Dieses Gefälle ist vor allem mit dem Ende des Kolonialismus entstanden: Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg haben sich die einstigen Kolonialmächte aus den von ihnen verwalteten und teilweise ausgebeuteten Ländern zurückgezogen. Zurück blieb meist große Armut, denn es gab kaum Industrie, Wirtschaft und Handel.
...
Seit vielen Jahren versuchen die Entwicklungsländer, auf internationalen Konferenzen zu einer Einigung mit den reichen Industriestaaten zu kommen. Man spricht dabei von "Nord-Süd-Dialog". Um den "Nord-Süd-Konflikt" zu entschärfen, streben die armen Länder gerechte Handelsbeziehungen und eine Weltwirtschaftsordnung an, in der die Gegensätze ausgeglichen werden.

Les missions de l'ONU
Juin 1945. 50 États adoptent la charte des Nations Unies. L'ONU est créée et l'espoir d'éradiquer la possibilité de conflits mondiaux dans l'avenir flotte dans l'esprit des plus optimistes. Grâce à la nouvelle organisation, on croit pouvoir enfin exercer le maintien de la paix un peu partout sur la planète. Cette belle utopie aura connu de nombreux ratés, mais elle aura également épargné des millions de vies. Aujourd'hui, malgré tout ce que l'on peut en dire, c'est 192 pays qui sont participants de l'Assemblée générale de l'ONU.
...
Organisation colossale, l'ONU constituée à la base de six organes principaux ("l'Assemblée générale", "le Conseil de sécurité", "le Conseil de tutelle", "le Conseil économique et social", "la Cour internationale de justice" ainsi que "le Secrétariat") voit graviter autour de sa plate-forme d'activités de nombreux autres organismes satellites.

Parmi ceux-ci, on compte des organismes dont la réputation mondiale au niveau des interventions pertinentes n'est plus à mettre en doute: l'"Agence internationale de l'Énergie atomique" ("AIEA"), le "Fonds des Nations unies pour l'enfance" ("UNICEF"), le "Haut Commissariat des Nations Unies pour les Réfugiés ("HCR"), l'"Organisation internationale du Travail" ("OIT"), l'"Organisation météorologique mondiale" ("OMM"), l'"Organisation mondiale de la santé" ("OMS"), l'"Organisation mondiale de la Propriété intellectuelle" ("OMPI"), l'"Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'Éducation, la Science et la Culture" ("UNESCO")…

Grâce à ces relais d'aide et d'intervention à travers le monde, l'ONU parvient à agir sur une dizaine de fronts de manière permanente.

Die Länder, die nicht mehr zu den armen "Entwicklungsländern" zählen, aber auch noch nicht zu den reichen Industrienationen, nennt man "Schwellenländer".

Matz, Klaus-Jürgen
Wer regierte wann?
Regenten-Tabellen zur Weltgeschichte
Von den Anfängen bis zur Gegenwart

Wie hieß der Vorgänger Ramses' II., und welcher römische Kaiser folgte auf Diokletian? Wie lange regierten Karl-August von Sachsen-Weimar und die Zarin Katharina II.? Wer herrschte 1880 in El Salvador? Wer war beim Kriegsausbruch 1914 französischer Regierungschef? Auf solche und ähnliche Fragen nach den Männern und Frauen, die Geschichte machten oder von der Geschichte gemacht wurden, gibt dieses Buch zuverlässige Antwort.

Die Regententabellen verzeichnen Kaiser und Päpste, Zaren und Sultane, Könige und Landesfürsten, Präsidenten, Diktatoren und Regierungschefs sowie für uns wichtige Minister mit ihren Lebens- und Regierungsdaten in chronologischer Folge in insgesamt mehr als 340 untergegangenen oder noch existierenden Staaten und Territorien. Sie reichen vom Pharao Menes (2950 v. Chr.) bis in die jüngste Gegenwart. Das Buch ist universalhistorisch angelegt, jedoch ist den Daten zur deutschen Geschichte ein besonders großer Raum gewidmet: Die Regenten zahlreicher früherer deutscher Territorien sind aufgeführt und für die Zeit nach 1918 die Regierungschefs der Länder sowie die Reichs- und Bundesminister.
