Seeking Refuge, Seeking Freedom

Posted on 30 November 2014

By Joshua Miguel Makalintal (FYEG, Junge Grüne) Austrian law dictates that the country’s federal asylum agency has six months to finalize an asylum application.

The NATO protests show the need for an ‘Activist Plan B’

Posted on 11 September 2014

Protesters packed their bags last Friday in Wales. The NATO summit hadn’t ended yet, but the activists headed home nonetheless. There weren’t the numbers needed to sustain the camp. It seems odd – anti-NATO demonstrations at an ebb at a time when the West is rallying for war, whether launching a new offensive in Iraq…

A Bosnian Spring?

Posted on 17 March 2014

A Bosnian Spring? Twenty years after the Dayton Agreement, there is something going wrong in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Despite the implementation of a remarkable reconstruction and development program after the war until today, corrupt and incompetent political elites rein the country.

Responsibility To Protect: An Introduction

Posted on 11 April 2012

April 6, 1994. A plane carrying President Juvénal Habyarimana is shot down over the skies of Rwanda’s capital, Kigali, acting as a catalyst for the murder of around 800,000 people over just 100 days.

When Intervention Becomes Necessary

Posted on 10 April 2012

In 1994 about 800 000 people were brutally killed in Rwanda during a period of just one hundred days. After this episode the UN officials, heads of state and civil society all agreed that we could never let this happen again.  But it did. In 2003 a humanitarian emergency developed in Darfur in western Sudan…

Responsibility to Protect: The problem with neglecting its political dimension

Posted on 10 April 2012

Seeing children dying at the horn of Africa makes us feel guilty, seeing the piles of dead bodies in the streets of Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda as well makes us feel that we just bluntly have to do something against it. That we have the moral obligation to act and prevent this horror…

Making the police “Green” from the inside – home affairs with a difference!

Posted on 20 February 2012

In the last thirty years since the Green Party was founded, many justice and home affairs experts have thought about what a Green policing policy would be like. However, these thoughts were never really conclusive. The interior ministries were in the hands of conservative and sometimes social democratic parties. These, on the one hand, easily…

Duisburg Love Parade – countdown for Sauerland's office

Posted on 24 August 2010

Some will say it was the ransom of excess : an event growing bigger by the year (up to 1 million people in 2010, as the organizers and the local authorities, among which the mayor, had told the press), a large proportion of participants making use of hard psychotropic substances, turning some weak minds into worse…
