As conflict and crisis continue in the aftermath of the SAC coup, political instability and uncertainty have swept many parts of the country. In this commentary, Khun Say Lone examines a dramatic succession of events in Shan State that have seen the RCSS, an NCA-signatory, forced to retreat by other ethnic armed organisations in the territory. Amidst allegations of “divide and rule”, he argues that unity is needed if the people are to end the cycles of conflict and build a better future.

Cannabis policy developments have arrived at an important moment where the treaty issue needs to be confronted in an honest manner, and not by hypocritical denials or fantasy interpretations that undermine basic principles of international law and cannot stand the scrutiny of ‘good faith’ treaty interpretation.
Weinig mensen zullen er ooit van hebben gehoord, maar het Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) is een groot obstakel voor de aanpak van klimaatverandering. Het verdrag biedt energiemultinationals de mogelijkheid overheden aan te klagen als deze beleid invoeren dat hun winsten beperkt.

Report
El Fondo Europeo de Defensa (FED) y sus programas precursores están destinados explícitamente a fortalecer la “competitividad mundial” de la base industrial tecnológica de defensa europea. Hay un gran desfase entre esas tecnologías y su posible impacto más allá de las ganancias que generan. Aumentarán inevitablemente las exportaciones de armas europeas y exacerbarán la carrera armamentística mundial, lo cual, a su vez, provocará más conflictos armados y guerras, mayor destrucción, la pérdida considerable de vidas y un aumento de los desplazamientos forzados.

Report
The European Defence Fund (EDF) and its precursor programmes explicitly aim to strengthening the ‘global competitiveness’ of the technological industrial base of European defence. There is a major disconnect between such technologies and their potential impact beyond the profits they will generate. They will inevitably boost European arms exports and fuel the global arms race, which will in turn lead to more armed conflicts and wars, greater destruction, significant loss of life, and increased forced displacement.
