Bevisene som gjorde at FN gjenopptok undersøkelsene ble lagt fram i boka «Who killed Hammarskjöld» av Susan Williams i 2014. Hennes undersøkelser viser med stor tydelighet at vestmaktene og viktige finansinteresser må ha stått bak nedskytinga av Hammarskiölds fly for å bevare sin kontroll over Kongo og landets enorme rikdommer. Tidligere undersøkelser bærer preg av å dekke over fakta framfor å grave dem fram.

A group of governments have submitted a draft UN General Assembly resolution to start negotiations on a treaty banning nuclear weapons. The document was circulated on Wednesday by its lead sponsors Austria, Mexico, South Africa, Ireland, Brazil and Nigeria and follows on from the recommendation of a UN Working Group, at which the overwhelming majority of states supported the call for ban treaty negotiations in 2017.
... The voting on the resolution will take place at the end of October or early November.
"Det är inte en mänsklig rättighet att begå brott i det land som en person söker asyl i. Tvärtom är det ett brott inte bara mot landets lagar, det är även ett brott mot FN:s flyktingkonvention som tvärtom ålägger flyktingen att följa mottagarlandets lagar.

Farida Shaheed presented her report on copyright policy and the right to science and culture on 11 March, at the 28th session of the Human Rights Council, taking place in Geneva from 2-27 March.
She stressed the fact that one of the key points of her report is that intellectual property rights are not human rights. “This equation is false and misleading,” she said.
The report also suggests that authors must be distinguished from copyright holders, she said, adding, “We should always keep in mind that copyright regimes may under-protect authors because producers/publishers/distributors and other ‘subsequent right-holders’ typically exercise more influence over law-making.”
