The Suffocating Occupation of Palestine is now a Series of War Crimes

ON October 24, it became clear to the United Nations (UN) that the sustained bombardment of Gaza – which had already killed 6,500 people (including at least 35 UN employees) – had made this part of Palestine unviable for human life. Over two million people live in this slim section of land on the Mediterranean Sea. Since 1948, the refugees who live here have relied on UN assistance, with the United Nations building an entire agency (UNRWA) in 1949 for that purpose.

Workers Force Biden to Visit Picket

THE president of US, Joe Biden visited the picket lines of the striking workers on September 26,  2023 and expressed his solidarity. This is big news and should have found a prominent mention in the media all over the world. The president of the most advanced capitalist country and leader of the imperialist pack, expressing his support to workers is after all not a small matter.

Not the Time for Begging, Calls the G-77 Summit

IN the season of summits, one summit went unnoticed. It is the G-77 Summit organised in Havana, Cuba. G-77 as a group was founded in 1964, by 77 non-aligned nations. India is one of the founding members of this group. Currently the group has 134 developing countries as members and after the UN, it is the largest representative forum of the global south. The black-out of all news of such an important group clearly establishes the elitist bias.

Collaboration, Not Confrontation

That much at least should be beyond debate. A defeat is simply not on the cards, since the west will not allow Ukraine to be totally defeated, and Russia – a major nuclear power – cannot be defeated without the prospect of the introduction of nuclear weapons into the conflict.

Chipping Off Workers’ Rights

THE joint declaration adopted at the recently concluded G-20 Summit in Delhi had an interesting paragraph. (Spoiler alert: This paragraph is not about Ukraine, climate change or economy per se, which were dealt elsewhere in this issue, but something else). This particular paragraph deals with ‘preparing for the future of work’. Given that the G-20 primarily focuses on economic issues, it is only natural for a paragraph of this nature to find a place in the declaration.

Expansion of the BRICS and The Changes in the World Order

ON the last day of the BRICS summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, the five founding states (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) welcomed six new members: Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The BRICS partnership now encompasses 47.3 per cent of the world’s population, with a combined global Gross Domestic Product (by purchasing power parity, or PPP,) of 36.4 per cent.

Fifty Years of Coup against Allende

FIFTY years ago, on September 11, 1973, the US succeeded in orchestrating a coup against the democratically elected Salvador Allende’s government in Chile. The Pinochet dictatorship foisted on the people assassinated thousands of communists, socialists, workers, artists and all those who were found to be actively supporting Allende. This violent terror was accompanied by the implementation of neoliberal policies, guided by the ‘Chicago boys’.
