The world health report 2007 - A safer future: global public health security in the 21st century

The World Health Report 2007 - A safer future: global public health security in the 21st century marks a turning point in the history of public health, and signals what could be one of the biggest advances in health security in half a century. It shows how the world is at increasing risk of disease outbreaks, epidemics, industrial accidents, natural disasters and other health emergencies which can rapidly become threats to global public health security. The report explains how the revised International Health Regulations (2005), which came into force this year, helps countries to work together to identify risks and act to contain and control them. The regulations are needed because no single country, regardless of capability or wealth, can protect itself from outbreaks and other hazards without the cooperation of others. The report says the prospect of a safer future is within reach - and that this is both a collective aspiration and a mutual responsibility.

Website Devoted To Trial Of Charles Taylor At The International Criminal Court

In a dramatic opening to the Charles Taylor trial today, the man long-awaited to face justice in the dock in The Hague failed to show. And his lawyer, Karim Khan, interrupted the opening statement of the Special Court for Sierra Leone’s Chief Prosecutor, Stephen Rapp, by clumsily walking out of the courtroom in defiance of a court order to continue representing Taylor for the day — in an unexpected move, Taylor sacked Khan and asked to represent himself. Rapp, and his Sierra Leonean colleague, Mohammad Bangura, continued to methodically present the prosecution case, reading out prepared statements across the room from an empty defense section — bar the court-appointed duty counsel, Mr. Jallow, who throughout the proceedings continued to sit back in the second row from where Khan originally sat, and three seats back from the gallery. Jallow, from the Special Court ’s Principal Defender’s office, took over on instruction by the Chamber to represent Taylor in the absence of the accused, and after Khan walked out despite a threat of contempt of court by Presiding Judge, Julia Sebutinde.

Drawing particular attention of some of the aspects affecting the living standards of the Liberian people, as the party did one year ago, Mr. Akinsanya said the issue of rice is a major political matter in the Liberian society. “Just as we mentioned one year ago that monopolization of this commodity would create a condition whereby individuals would take undue advantage and exploit the already impoverished Liberian, today we are constrained to revisit the issue and affirm our opposition to the systematic exploitation of the citizenry by the benefactors of monopoly, and to a limited extent, oligopoly, in the rice market,” the Liberty Party National Chairman said.
