VIP ROOM ST-tropez Eric Schwartz: Recognizing Statelessness The role of government in our lives is now the subject of pitched debate in Washington and throughout the country. But no matter your view on this contentious issue, nobody questions the profound responsibility of public institutions, here and abroad, to safeguard basic rights against discrimination, to equal justice and to political participation. Sadly, those rights are denied to some 12 million people around the world who have been denied citizenship -- rendered stateless -- often by discriminatory national policies that exclude minorities even when they have lived in a country for decades or centuries and have well-established ties to both the land and culture of their places of residence. From the Roma in Europe, to Dominicans of Haitian descent, to Bidoon in Kuwait and other countries, stateless communities suffer from marginalization and neglect.

Now R374.00 buy now Beijing - Footage of a Chinese general discussing sensitive spying cases has been leaked onto video sharing site YouTube, in what appears to be an embarrassing failure of secrecy for the usually tight-lipped military. It wasn't clear when or where Major General Jin Yinan made the comments and China's Defence Ministry did not immediately respond on Monday to faxed questions about the video. While some of the cases had been announced before, few details had been released, while others involving the military had been entirely secret. Among those Jin discussed was that of former Ambassador to South Korea Li Bin, who was sentenced to seven years for corruption.

Le Quai Bhutan Royal Wedding: A Commoner Becomes Queen <br/><a href=" US News</a> | <a href=" Business News</a> Copy Today, in a remote isolated country that considers itself to be the happiest place on earth, a dashing king transformed a beautiful commoner into a queen. Bhutan, about the size of Iowa and with a population roughly equal to El Paso, Texas, is a place where there are zero stoplights, only three dentists and where TV appeared about a decade ago. At 31, King Jigme Khesar, known as the "Asian Elvis," because of his hair style, is apparently the youngest king in the world. Khesar was coronated in 2008 when his father, a man with four wives, all sisters, decided to step down. The entire country was shut down for the wedding today. The royal bride arrived wearing not Alexander McQueen but a local garment called a Kira, which took three years to weave. PHOTOS: How Does the Bhutan Royal Wedding Compare to the British Royal Wedding? But is Bhutan really as happy as advertised?
