(15 August 2023) Assessing the birth of atomic America, put on display as only Hollywood can, I watched Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.

(8 August 2023) (Edit.) The digital form of the media has permanently changed the way people live together. The use of computers and the Internet has become an integral part of our everyday life. Computer science has developed the ability not only to absorb and process information, but also to recognise patterns, analyze them and make predictions. People have been talking about “artificial intelligence” or AI for short since the 1960s.

(28 July 2023) Perpetual armed neutrality is one of the most important principles of Swiss foreign policy. The idea of neutrality is well anchored in our country, its people, and its history. To abolish it directly and openly is therefore not feasible. For several decades, however, efforts have been made to weaken and disintegrate the original concept of neutrality.
by Chiara Nalli,* Italy
(28 July 2023) (CH-S) The Italian journalist Chiara Nalli from “l’Antidiplomatico” decodes the conflict situation – often incomprehensible to us – in the north and south-east of Kosovo. It seems that the Serb and Albanian inhabitants do not get along. In this report from 31 May, the reader gets a deeper insight into the conflict situation. It is still unchanged after two months, the problems persisting. How is it that almost 25 years after NATO’s war against Serbia, which violated International Law, there is still no peace in Kosovo? The responsible protecting powers, the EU, NATO, but also the UN, why don’t they solve the conflict?
