The history of mankind can be looked at as a history of wars of weapons, each era developing more potent means to destroy the enemy. In the 20th century, weapons of mass destruction (WMD) -- bacteriological, chemical, & nuclear -- & the means to deploy them over large areas from great distances emerged. Their destructive potential is so great that while WMD have been built, they have been stockpiled, not used, since the atomic bombings of Japan that ended WWII. The beginning of the third millennium brings with it the question of the future of human civilization in the presence of WMD. This paper discusses the various WMD available now & the technological ideas already on the boards for producing newer WMD of the following types: geophysical, laser, genetic, ethnic, particle beam (directed energy), high energy radio frequency, sonar, antimatter, asteroid de-orbiting, information warfare, & psychotronic. Their potential destructive capability is too great to consider. It is concluded that the major countries of the world, perhaps via the UN, must put in place a comprehensive mechanism based in international law to effectively prevent the creation of new WMD.

Juan Antonio March Pujol, Ambassador from the Kingdom of Spain to the Russian Federation, was invited to speak as a guest of honor at a meeting of the Five o'Clock Club, which was initiated by V. E. Churov, chairman of the Russian Federation Central Electoral Commission, as a venue for unofficial discussions of current international issues. Following an introduction by Yu. Dubinin, Ambassador March Pujol speaks first about the current bilateral relations between Spain & Russia. He believes that the present stability in Spain under President Rodriguez Zapatero & the two main parties in parliament -- the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party & the People's Party -- offers a favorable opportunity to expand relations between the two countries. He then discusses the modernization of Europe in the 21st century & what Spain & Russia can do as part of this project, particularly in terms of transport, communications, & economic development. He sees "kind of a family relationship" between Russia & Europe & suggests they discuss what they are -- "brothers or cousins?" Comments are offered & questions posed by Yu. Dubinin, E. Dubrovina, I. B. Borisov, S. Rogov, & V. Churov. Adapted from the source document.

Muss ein Staat seine Untaten bereuen, um außenpolitische Legitimität zu erhalten? Was bedeutet es, Kriegsverbrechen aufzuarbeiten? Und wie agieren und kommunizieren Politiker, die unter internationalem Druck aufarbeiten müssen? Am Beispiel des serbischen Umgangs mit während der Jugoslawienkriege begangener Kriegsverbrechen sucht Daniela Mehler Erklärungen für Politikwandel und Ambivalenzen. Sie rekonstruiert die serbischen Aufarbeitungsdebatten vom Beginn der Jugoslawienkriege bis zur Verhaftung von Ratko Mladic und stellt die Positionen und Norminterpretationen der serbischen Akteure vor.

The trajectory of yoga has been long and steady. It was only natural that it would become an official item in the global discourse on well-being and health, leading to an International Day of Yoga. Nevertheless, there are various preconceptions about the practice, as well as different political and social issues that are worth querying. What and whose is yoga? What sort of disputes does this bear in the religious arena within India? Does the novel international celebration bridge the gap between different cultural and geopolitical worlds? Is there an implied political agenda? This paper will offer both a brief account of the International Day of Yoga, and a critical view on all these issues with a view to foster a wider debate. ; El yoga posee una carrera sólida y larga. El paso natural era convertirse en un artículo oficial del discurso global sobre salud y bienestar, concretado en el primer Día Internacional del Yoga. Sin embargo, existen diversas ideas preconcebidas sobre la práctica, además de implicaciones políticas y sociales involucradas que merecen cuestionarse. ¿Qué es el yoga y a quién le pertenece? ¿Qué implicaciones tiene esto para el escenario religioso de la India? Dicha celebración, ¿acorta las distancias entre diferentes mundos culturales y geopolíticos? ¿Hay alguna agenda política detrás? El presente artículo ofrecerá un recuento del Día Internacional del Yoga, así como una mirada crítica en varios de estos puntos de discusión, invitando a un debate amplio.
