Guernica Reproduction Covered at UN
NEW YORK.- The "Guernica" work by Pablo Picasso at the entrance of
the Security Council of the United Nations has been covered with a
curtain. The reason for covering this work is that this is the
place where diplomats make statements to the press and have this
work as the background. The Picasso work features the horrors of
war. On January 27 a large blue curtain was placed to cover the
work.
Fred Eckhard, press secretary of the U.N. said: "It is an
appropriate background for the cameras." He was questioned as to
why the work had been covered.
A diplomat stated that it would not be an appropriate background if
the ambassador of the United States at the U.N. John Negroponte, or
Powell, talk about war surrounded with women, children and animals
shouting with horror and showing the suffering of the bombings.
This work is a reproduction of the Guernica that was donated by
Nelson A. Rockefeller to the U.N. in 1985.

Demokrati, USA
For weeks, United For Peace and Justice (UFPJ), a national
coalition of several hundred organizations, has been negotiating in
good faith with the New York City Police Department in preparation
for U.S. participation in the unprecedented global peace
demonstration on February 15th - "The World Says No To War." On
that day millions of people in more than 300 cities around the
world will oppose a U.S. war against Iraq on that day. Hundreds of
busloads of demonstrators will be coming to New York from points
around the country to join with New Yorkers from all of the city's
diverse communities in a rebuke to the Bush administration's
threatened bombing and invasion of Iraq.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the police department have been
blocking our efforts to organize a peaceful and nonviolent protest.
It took a series of meeting before they finally agreed to give us a
permit to assemble at 49th Street and First Avenue, near the United
Nations. They are still refusing to grant a permit to march.
UFPJ's lawyers, the New York Civil Liberties Union, has filed suit
against the Mayor and the police to obtain the necessary permits
for a march. A federal judge will rule on the matter on Monday,
Feb. 10.

Powells Irak-billeder beviser ... ingenting
En dansk ekspert har foretaget en analyse, der tilbageviser de
billedmaterialer, som den amerikanske udenrigsminister Colin Powell
fremlagde for FN's Sikkerhedsråd sidste uge som dokumentation
for, at Irak skjuler
masseødelæggelsesvåben.
Analysen er foretaget af Rasmus Ole Rasmussen, som er lektor
på Institut for Geografi og Internationale Udviklingsstudier
ved Roskilde Universitetscenter. Han beskæftiger sig med
Nordatlantiske Regionalstudier (NORS) og hans
interesseområder omfatter bl.a. "remote sensing", hvor man
foretager videnskabelige analyser af satellit- og flybilleder.

absolut ingenting!" - Den illustrerede

Weapons
declaration
From Professor Ken Coates
Sir, Jack Straw claims that Iraq's declaration about its weapons of
mass destruction, submitted to the United Nations in December, "was
neither full, accurate, nor complete" (Comment, February 5).
The elected members of the United Nations Security Council will
have to take Mr Straw's word for it, since we understand that more
than 8,000 of the declaration's 11,800 pages were omitted when it
was circulated to them.
The full dossier was given to the United Nations and transported to
New York, where by some mechanism it came into the hands of the
United States Administration, which promised to copy it for members
of the Security Council. In the event, two thirds of the
declaration were withheld from the ten non-permanent members.
I wrote to these members asking whether British press reports on
these matters were true (an inquiry to the office of the
Secretary-General had produced no response).
The current President of the Security Council, Joschka Fischer,
confirmed these facts. In a letter dated Monday, February 3, his
office writes:
"The facts of the case as you present them are correct. In fact the
Iraqi statement of around 12,000 pages of 8th December was given in
full only to the five permanent members of the Security
Council."
Who authorised this substantial deletion?
Yours sincerely,
KEN COATES

Den norske regjeringens påstand om å stå
på folkerettens grunn er uriktig
Det påviser professor dr. jur. Ståle Eskeland i en
kronikk i Aftenposten i dag: "Til krig for fred - med FN som innsats".
Kronikken tar opp grunnleggende prinsipper i FN-pakten og
folkeretten og viser at hverken angrepet på Kosovo eller
Afghanistan respekterte folkeretten. Og: "Et angrep (fra USA, mot
Irak) uten FN-mandat vil også være en folkerettslig
forbrytelse - nemlig forbrytelse mot freden."
Eskelands kronikk er bl.a. inspirert av Gunnar Garbos nye bok
"Også krig er terror", som i detalj påviser hvordan
norske regjeringer i praksis lar lojal støtte til USA/NATO
gå foran satsingen på FN.

Aldermaston Compensation Order for Ulla
Røder
Peace activist Ulla
Roder has been ordered to pay £370 compensation to the Atomic Weapon Establishment
at Aldermaston for cutting a small piece of a fence at the site
during the Trident Ploughshares disarmament camp there in May
2001.
The trial, on a charge of criminal damage, took place today in
Newbury Magistrates Court. Although represented, Ulla herself
undertook to explain to the magistrate that her action was
justified under the Nuremberg Principles which obliges citizens to
observe humanitarian law.
Ulla said: "Although he avoided any reference to the Principles in
his judgment he was listening intently to my argument. I did
explain to him that my conscience would not allow me to pay
compensation to Aldermaston."
Ulla was also ordered to pay £60 court costs. Her co-accused,
Allen O’Keefe, was tried in January and was ordered to pay
£750 compensation, double Ulla’s penalty
