Por Katsuhiro Asagiri

TÓQUIO (IDN) – Quando a Assembleia Geral da ONU adotou a Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos (UDHR) em Paris em 10 de dezembro de 1948, criou um documento-marco na história dos direitos humanos que levava em conta as experiências terríveis da Segunda Guerra Mundial.

By Santo D. Banerjee

NEW YORK (IDN) – The concept of sustainable blue economy is gaining momentum, including at the highest levels of decision making, encouraging proponents of the growing movement to believe that humans can use the ocean as a tool for lifting people out of poverty, all the while protecting its valuable ecosystems.

It was not surprising, therefore, that the first-ever Sustainable Blue Economy Conference, held in Kenya in November 2018, brought together thousands of ocean experts and activists to discuss how to sustainably use the ocean, and according to experts, the conference proved to be an important stepping stone towards the next anticipated UN Ocean Conference in 2020.…

TOKYO (IDN) – Worldwide forest fires and the abnormal heat experienced last summer are still fresh in our memory. Many people throughout the world had a sense that some kind of unsettling change is happening. Even so, response is slow and measures are not being taken.
