By FarooqueChowdhury

http://www.countercurrents.org/chowdhury101010.htm

Deadlock in the Tianjin talks between the two largest GHG emitters blaming each other actually has clouded prospects for advancements in the Cancun climate conference that carries not much hope. Cancún will find no heads of state and no binding deal will be made there. Ministers and senior officials will prepare ground for post-Cancun

By Sherwood Ross

http://www.countercurrents.org/ross101010.htm

The U.S. today is threatening to attack Iran "under the completely bogus pretext" that it might have a nuclear weapon, a distinguished American international legal authority says. When Obama administration officials, like those of the Bush regime before it, say "all options are on the table," they are threatening nuclear war and that is prohibited by international law, says Francis Boyle, professor of international law at the University of Illinois at Champaign

By Harsh Mander

http://www.countercurrents.org/mander101010.htm

Politics, History, Relition And The Law:
The Ayodhya Verdict
By Rohini Hensman

http://www.countercurrents.org/hensman101010.htm

It is entirely possible that the majority judgment was framed in the fear that giving outright possession to either Hindu or Muslim parties to the dispute could result in riots and bloodshed, while division of the property could lead to reconciliation. But good intentions alone cannot ensure a good judgment

True Globalisation Is When Honest
And Good People Come Together
By Devinder Sharma

http://www.countercurrents.org/dsharma101010.htm

Globalisation has brought the rich and the crooked together. True globalisation would be when good people from across the globe come together. Perhaps, Orai has sown the seeds of goodness.
