Some Humpday updates

I just returned from a lovely vacation in Chicago. It was fabulous, but I am happy to be back in Cbus. Just in time to find some great reads in the Financial Times and Le Monde.

It looks like international law is going to get a lot more interesting in the coming weeks and months. The Rwandan government has indicted top French officials, including former Prime Minister de Villepin, in the genocide that occurred in Rwanda in the 90s. Further, the Spanish judiciary has determined itself fit to investigate charges of genocide in Tibet against Chinese Communist Party officials. What a brouhaha!

Financial Times
gems:

  1. Free Trade: The key to Britain's food security
  2. French government indicted in Rwandan genocide
  3. Greenspan's take on the state of the world's finances
  4. The consequences of China's weak civil society

Le Monde (en francais)

  1. Spanish court to investigate charges of genocide in Tibet against Chinese officials
  2. Coup d'etat in Mauritania
