United Nations General Assembly

Speech by King Abdullah II of Jordan

Remarkable. Critical. Forward-looking.

(18 October 2024) (Edit.) At the end of September 2024, the Jordanian king gave a speech in New York on the conflict in Palestine. He looked back on a quarter of a century of UN General Assemblies that he had experienced: “[...] I cannot remember a time that was more dangerous than this. [...] Our United Nations is facing a crisis that is calling its legitimacy into question and threatening to destroy global trust and moral authority.”

Education for a responsible and mature citizenship or ideologisation of students

by Marita Brune-Koch

(4 October 2024) Educating children and young people to become responsible citizens is one of the most important goals of primary and secondary school. They grow into our democratic systems and will shape them in the future. However, the question of how best “to educate responsible citizens” is once again the subject of fierce debate. The discussions range from the point of view that political education should begin in kindergarten to the demand for neutrality of schools and teachers in political and ideological matters.
Switzerland

Health policy must remain sovereign

Keeping a watchful eye on the WHO

(4 October 2024) (Edit./sv) The tireless work of parliamentarians and committed experts has led to a partial victory. It should no longer be possible to simply override the cantons and the electorate – Switzerland’s supreme sovereign – with a simple reference to international regulations.

Censorship even in the EU Parliament

EU blocks websites for its own members

by the editorial team of “Ansage.org”

(4 October 2024) The increasingly authoritarian, fundamental rights- and freedom-hostile moloch that the EU headquarters in Brussels has degenerated into has been trying for years – and most recently with increasing severity – to take a tight rein on social media and to censor all content that deviates from the desired narratives as “disinformation”, or at least to brand it with “classifications” via warning notices.

Washington’s Ukraine obsession is going to get us all killed!

A narrow escape from World War 3 ...

by Ron Paul,* USA

(4 October 2024) Last week the world narrowly escaped likely nuclear destruction, as the Biden Administration considered Ukraine’s request to allow US missiles to strike deeply into Russian territory. Russian president Vladimir Putin warned, as the request was being considered, that because these missiles could not be launched without the active participation of the US military and NATO, Russia would consider itself in a state of war with both NATO and the US should they be launched. It was a Cuban Missile Crisis on a massive scale.
Nobel Peace Prize 2024

Alfred Nobel’s legacy as a legal obligation

War must be abolished

by Dr. Sabine Vuilleumier-Koch, MD* Switzerland

(27 September 2024) On 11 October, the “Norwegian Nobel Committee” will announce which person, organisation or institution will receive the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize in 2024. After an eight-month process of thoroughly reviewing all nominees, the committee selects a winner. Since the first Nobel Peace Prize was awarded in 1901, there has been repeated controversy as to whether the choice made was truly in line with the wishes of Alfred Nobel (1833–1896).
