The European Parliament has called for the peacekeeping mandate for Russian troops in the breakaway Georgian region of Abkhazia to be revised. The Parliament says as change is needed in light of escalating tensions between Russia and Georgia. In the strongest European Union criticism to date, the assembly has said the Russian troops have "lost their role of neutral and impartial peacekeepers." In a resolution passed Thursday, the chamber also demanded the EU sends its own border mission into the conflict zone in Abkhazia. Some 2,500 Russian troops are stationed in the breakaway region with strong ties to Moscow, and an additional 300 soldiers arrived to restore rail links with the southern Russian city of Sochi, which will host the 2014 Winter Olympics. ...

The vetoed sanctions resolution against Zimbabwe at the UN Security Council on Friday has exposed the fault lines of international tensions than divide the West from Africa, Russia from the West and the United States from South Africa. The surprise Chinese and Russian vetoes provoked sharp words in the usually staid Security Council as tensions broke out into the open. U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad publicly bashed South Africa as the main culprit in the failed Anglo-American bid to punish Robert Mugabe and his cronies with sanctions on travel, finances and arms. Unprompted, he told reporters: "I want to say a word or two about the performance of South Africa." In diplomatic parlance critiquing another nation's' "performance" are fighting words. "It was particularly disturbing," Khalilzad said, "given the history of South Africa ... where international sanctions played an important role in encouraging transformation [from apartheid] for its representative to be protecting the horrible regime in Zimbabwe." He dismissed the South African argument that sanctions would derail talks in Pretoria between Mugabe's Zanu PF and the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). Khalilzad proclaimed: "There isn't anything serious going on in terms of the negotiations. The South African effort, President Mbeki's effort so far, has been a failure." Mugabe stole the presidential election and has refused to seat the Parliament because MDC w ... Source: jurist.law.pitt.edu --- 15 days ago
[JURIST] US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Czech Minister of Foreign Affairs Karel Schwarzenberg Tuesday signed an agreement allowing the US to install ballistic missile radar systems in the Czech Republic, prompting an immediate Russian threat of a "military-technical" response if the deal is implemented. The two signatories worked out most of the details of the agreement in April, but it has yet to be approved by the Czech Parliament. An estimated two-thirds of Czechs oppose the pact and over 1000 protesters demonstrated Monday against its signing in Prague. The US is seeking a similar agreement with Poland, but that agreement has been delayed by disagreements over what other military aid might be involved. The International Herald Tribune has more. AP has additional coverage. The Russian Foreign Ministry, claiming the system would threaten Russia's national security, said afterwards in an official statement that "If a US strategic anti-missile shield starts to be deployed near our borders, we will be forced to react not in a diplomatic fashion but with military-technical means." The US insists that the system is designed to protect the region from attacks launched from the Middle East, and that it has offered to cooperate with Russia on the plan. Russia has long opposed the expansion of the missile defense system into Eastern Europe, suspending its participation in the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty (CFE) in Nove ...

[JURIST] Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Saturday told members of the Russian lower house of Parliament, the State Duma, that he will sign newly-prepared anti-corruption legislation in the near future. Medvedev, speaking at the start of a meeting with party leaders from the Duma, stated that his administration has "very important work to do to improve legislation aimed at fighting against corruption." Medvedev indicated that the proposed legislation is close to completion, and that he "will be signing it in the very near future." RIA Novosti has more. Medvedev's remarks came after signing a measure in May establishing an anti-corruption council to be headed by Kremlin chief of staff Sergei Naryshkin. Medvedev said that a comprehensive national anti-corruption program was necessary to tackle social and economic graft and also to eliminate a prevailing culture of corruption. Medvedev had previously pledged to clean up corruption in his inauguration speech. ... Find more results for Russian Parliament on RSSMicro.com |
