Humanitarian Wi-Fi from T-Mobile

Humanitarian Wi-Fi from T-Mobile 08/14/2004 11:32 AM
T-Mobile hasn't put out a press release, but is quietly spreading the word about free Wi-Fi in Florida: With people losing homes or stuck far away from home, T-Mobile has opened its hotspot service for free in Florida through the end of the day on Monday. T-Mobile operates service in Starbucks, Kinko's, Borders, and various airline lounges. Wherever these locations are operating, the service will be free to help folks communicate or just find out more about where they can go next. Of course, these services require a computer or handheld, but I'm guessing that people with that equipment in those locations will be happy to help their fellow Floridians or fellow human beings....

From the Edge, Humanitarian Works 07/25/2004 12:21 PM

(This is also my Sund ay column in the San Jose Mercury News.) They were soldiers and sailors, doctors and relief workers, technologists and managers. Over the course of a few days, they transformed a barren lava bed into a cutting-edge test bed of communications and collaboration. Their overarching goal, in a project dubbed "Strong Angel II" was humanitarian: to help create a way for military and civilian disaster-relief people to deal more efficiently with each other -- and with the people who need assistance -- in the turmoil that follows catastrophes. I first wrote about the project two months ago, when it was still in the planning stages. During three recent days on the site, which was meant to approximate some of the harsh conditions aid workers would find in the wake of war or natural disaster, I observed much more than some brilliant technology. I saw how people with poles-apart political perspectives could blend, in common purpose, to achieve remarkable results. More...

War in Iraq: Not a Humanitarian
Intervention - Human Rights Watch

War in Iraq: Not a Humanitarian
Intervention - Human Rights Watch 01/26/2004 06:29 PM
In sum, the invasion of Iraq failed to meet the test for a humanitarian intervention. Most important, the killing in Iraq at the time was not of the exceptional nature that would justify such intervention. In addition, intervention was not the last reasonable option to stop Iraqi atrocities. Intervention was not motivated primarily by humanitarian concerns. It was not conducted in a way that maximized compliance with international humanitarian law. It was not approved by the Security Council. And while at the time it was launched it was reasonable to believe that the Iraqi people would be better off, it was not designed or carried out with the needs of Iraqis foremost in mind. War in Iraq: Not a Humanitarian Intervention
Human Rights Watch finds the post fact rationale for the invasion wanting. It comes from their World Report 2004 - Human Rights and Armed Conflict, where other essays therefrom include: Losing The Peace In Afghanistan, Sidelined: Human Rights In Post-War Iraq and "Glad to be Deceived": the International Community and Chechnya, to name but a few.

Cory Doctorow: Donna sez, "In the aftermath of India being forced to adopt patent law that quite literally kills people as a condition for joining the World Trade Organization (WTO), US representatives at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) are moving to counter efforts by developing countries and numerous non-government organizations (NGOs) to bring public-interest considerations -- like protecting human health -- to its decision-making.

"Specifically, representatives have reportedly been circulating a draft paper that attempts to reframe the problem, arguing that WIPO is already addressing development issues and proposing merely a 'WIPO Partnership Program' -- an Internet-based database to bring together 'donors and recipients of IP development assistance.'"

THE TEN MOST
UNDER-REPORTED HUMANITARIAN EVENTS OF
2003 02/10/2004 02:48 AM

Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) recently released its list of the ten most under-reported humanitarian events of 2003. The map above shows which countries these events occurred in. Although the MSF site is temporarily down, you can read the complete details of these stories here. The top 10 stories are: Tens of thousands seek refuge in Chad from wars in Sudan and Central African Republic Ongoing oppression of civilians, war and dislocation in Chechnya Tenth year of civil war in Burundi lowers life expectancy to 40, causes massive dislocation Three million displaced in Columbia, infrastructure destroyed, violence & disease rampant, 'drug war' ruins economy Daily terror and disease in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo pushes 20-year death toll past three million Annual death toll from malaria in sub-Saharan Africa reaches two million because $1 treatment is too expensive Twelve years of violence, displacement, flooding and drought make Somalia the world's most destitute country Millions of refugees fleeing starvation and terror in North Korea struggle in fear and deprivation in hostile China 'Free' trade agreements deprive millions of AIDS victims in Southern Africa and elsewhere of affordable treatment War, displacement and lack of medical care produces massive malnutrition in Ivory Coast and Liberia Why aren't the media covering these stories? None of them is physically close to the West. None of them involves countries with resources of strategic importance to the West. Almost all of them are ongoing, so there is nothing 'new' to report each day. None of the people in these countries has resorted to terrorist attacks against the West to bring attention to our indifference to their plight. And all of them are intractible problems, and therefore issues that those of us in the West would rather not know about.
