Recently, IBM opened a subsidiary in the west African country of Ghana, and even partnered with the University of Ghana to expand their technology commitment and R&D potential. IBM hopes to expand their collaboration with Ghana, while local industry and government look forward to the tools and resources that IBM can provide; such efforts will likely bolster Ghana's self-sufficiency, and improve their marketability on the global market in a number of industries.

I am deeply concerned that the Australian government has ignored its obligations under international human rights legislation, and failed to thoroughly investigate allegations of torture made by David Hicks.

Your government is denying justice to one of its citizens, just as the Howard government denied him help when he most needed it.

The unconscionable scale of labor rights violations in Uzbekistan’s cotton industry will continue unless clothing companies speak out against the abuse and take action to make it stop. A large number of the world’s largest apparel brands and retailers, including many of your competitors like Abercrombie and Fitch, Levi’s and the Gap, have developed policies on Uzbek cotton.
