International Justice and Impunity: The Case of the United States

A new book by Clarity Press, this collection of essays from top international scholars and legal professionals reflects a primary response by international civil society to US disregard for international law. It is a damning indictment of the Hiroshimas of our time. It provides a cogent elaboration of the international legal values to be defended, for humanity to triumph over the new wave of global barbarism brought about by the efforts of the United States to consolidate and extend the dimensions of its empire.
 
Once the champion of the United Nations, the United States now skirts the Geneva Conventions, uses international humanitarian law as a pretext for intervention, engages in bombardments causing grave civilian losses, and seeks to expand its options in relation to torture while continuing to render prisoners to countries known for its practice.  Having failed in its effort to block the establishment of the International Criminal Court, the United States still refuses to ratify its Statute—even though the ICC Statute modified the rules of the 1977 Geneva Protocol and The Hague in an effort to satisfy the trajectory pursued by U.S. foreign policy.

The United States’ pursuit of a unilateral imperial policy based on military force destroys the credibility of the nascent international legal framework. Rather, the US is leading the world by example toward a future without rules or values, where humanity is subject to the whims of the more powerful.

Tannouri Photography

Lebanese photographer Clément Tannouri captures the magnetism of Lebanon in this stunning collection of photographs.  He states his two great passions in life are travel and photography. He believes that travel broadens one's view of the world. Experiencing other cultures, meeting people from other communities and countries and seeing the beauty, and sometimes ugliness, of the world has helped him understand that all of our lives are at once interconnected and individual. It has made him better appreciate his own home and culture as well as that of the people he has met and the lands he has seen and he has become a much more tolerant person as a result. Through his photography he seeks to document his own personal experiences, to capture scenes and events as he sees them and to share with others the beauty and diversity of the world he has seen.

 

His website demonstrates a wide-ranging portfolio and offers prints, poster, and book collections for sale.  Or just click and enjoy the beauty of Lebanon. www.clementtannouri.com

Lady Fatemah Trust

Formed in 1997, the Lady Fatemah Trust adopts a philosophy of empowerment to alleviate poverty across geographic and cultural borders.  Whilst the scope of its projects is extensive, the guiding principle of project selection is based on the objective of enabling target communities to develop self-sufficiency. Borrowing from an ancient maxim, the Trust does not seek to simply distribute ‘fish’, but rather endeavours to provide ‘fishing rods’ and the knowledge to use them effectively. The global projects of the Trust include many in Lebanon, specifically designed to return pride and self-sufficiency to those in need—visit Middle East Projects. Please note that the Lady Fatemah Trust operates on the basis of zero% administration costs, so every penny you give goes directly to those in need.  Consider a donation to maintain this invaluable work  You may phone +44 (0) 1494 762 063, or email info@ladyfatemahtrust.org for more information.
