Radical Party In International Day Of Non-Violence.
The International Day of Non-Violence is
marked on 2 October, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi. According to General
Assembly resolution A/RES/61/271 of 15 June 2007, which established the
commemoration, the International Day is an occasion to “disseminate the
message of non-violence, including through education and public awareness”.
The resolution reaffirms “the universal relevance of the principle of
non-violence” and the desire “to secure a culture of peace, tolerance,
understanding and non-violence”. The Resolution invites all Member States
“to commemorate the International Day of Non-Violence in an appropriate
manner and to disseminate the message of non-violence, including through
education and public awareness”. The Radical Party is deeply convinced that
this responsibility should be adopted, first and foremost, by democratic
institutions as an ideal space for public debate and open dialogue, as Marco
Pannella recommended through personal example, teaching the Italian people
the intrinsic value of non-violent political action.

The Crop Prospects and Food Situation report
The Crop Prospects and Food Situation report
is issued by the Trade and Markets Division of
by the Food and Agriculture Organization. It
provides a forward-looking analysis of the food situation by geographic
region, focusing on the cereal production outlook, market situation and food
security conditions, with a particular attention on Low-Income Food-Deficit
Countries (LIFIDCs).
Some 41 countries (31 in Africa) continue to
be in need of external assistance for food, with conflicts acting as the
primary cause of high levels of food insecurity and adverse weather
conditions - particularly rainfall shortages in Africa - acutely affecting
food availability and access for millions of people, a quarterly report by
the United Nations says. About half of the 41 countries needing external
assistance for food are home to civil unrest or full-fledged conflict, while
others face severe resource strains due to large influxes of refugees from
neighboring countries experiencing unrest.

Hong Kong: Sos Rule Of Law
On Friday, the 18th successive weekend of
protests has begun in Hong Kong, in open defiance of the emergency
regulation that has just entered into force. Thousands of people took to the
streets for a night of violent protests, with crowds setting fire to two
subway stations, and vandalising shops and companies considered to be
pro-China. The police responded once again with tear gas and in at least one
case with firearms. This latest clash comes at the end of a week in which
two significant, and radically opposed, historical dates have been
"celebrated": the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic
of China on October 1st, and the International Day of Nonviolence on Mahatma
Gandhi's birthday on October 2nd. Unfortunately, the way in which these two
dates were (not) remembered in most of the political world is emblematic of
the decline in the defense of the rule of law, democracy and human rights
around the world.

European funding and migratory flows
The European Emergency Fund Trust for Africa,
set up in 2015 at the Euro-African Summit in La Valletta, finances projects
to control migratory flows. It is not controlled by the European Parliament
and 95% of the resources come from development cooperation funds, in
particular from the European Development Fund (ESF). It specifically
concerns three regions: Horn of Africa, North Africa, Sahel and Lake Chad.
The figures are important: EUR 4,6 billion, including more than EUR 4.0
billion from the European Development Fund and others European financial
instruments. EU Member States and donors – Switzerland and Norway-have
contributed EUR 528 million, of which EUR 506 million have been paid.

Report on the Sustainable Development Goals and the
Right to Food
Following last week's SDG Summit at the UN
General Assembly in New York, the Special Rapporteur has released her latest
thematic report on the Sustainable Development Goals and the Right to Food.
The realization of the right to food is essential for achieving the
ambitious objectives set forth in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development. The right to food extends beyond productivism, the paradigm in
which Goal 2 (zero hunger) is rooted. Realizing this right requires tackling
the historical and structural inequalities that undermine availability,
adequacy, accessibility and sustainability of food systems. Unfortunately,
the Goals are not on track to achieve their full potential and the most
affected populations are those who experience the greatest inequality and
marginalization. As of 2019, the Asia-Pacific region is reported as stalling
on more than half of the Goals, having made little or no progress on ending
hunger.2 Hunger has also remained prevalent in parts of Sub-Saharan Africa,
where nearly 9 in 10 of the world’s extreme poor will live by 2030.
Globally, hunger has risen since 2015 affecting more than 820 million
people.

“We can find you anywhere”: the Chechen death squads
stalking Europe
Since around 2009, in countries such as
Austria, Dubai, Germany and Turkey Chechens are being reached and killed,
and they are all asylum seekers who run away from the torture regime of
Kadyrov and to whom are often refused asylum. There have been half a dozen
prominent Chechen killed in Istanbul over the past decade, with Turkish
authorities believing Russian security services are involved. The majority
of recent Chechen arrivals in Europe (Germany, Poland and other EU
countries) have had nothing to do with the previous phase that covered two
wars of independence, and are instead those who have fled threats and
torture.

The Right to Know arrives at the parliamentary
assembly of the council of Europe.
On October 2, birthday of Mahatma Gandhi and
International Day of Nonviolence, the Nonviolent Radical Party brought the
issue of the right to know to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of
Europe. Thanks to Senator Roberto Rampi, the Committee for Culture, Science,
Education and Mdia, of which he is a member, decided to include a draft
resolution on the right to know among its priorities, to be brought to the
attention of the plenary assembly by the end of 2020. The tabling of the
resolution “Freedom of media, public trust and the citizens’ right to know”
at the Parliamentary Assembly where 47 European countries are represented,
allows us to continue on our path to induce States to guarantee the
instruments and elements to enable citizens in the exercise of their right
to know. It is the goal of our Einaudian initiative of “knowing to
deliberate”, often described as “the last battle of Marco Pannella”.
