La battaglia per un trattato globale per combattere l’inquinamento da plastica, “Una delle più grandi minacce fatte dall’uomo al nostro pianeta”

di Thalif Deen

NAZIONI UNITE (IDN) — Nel successo di Hollywood del 1967 “Il laureato”, una commedia romantica diretta da Mike Nichols tratta da un romanzo di Charles Webb, il neo laureato Dustin Hoffman riceve un consiglio non richiesto: “Il futuro è nella plastica”.

L’ampia diffusione della battuta è stata salutata come una spinta dall’industria della plastica mondiale. Ma 55 anni dopo, l’industria è sotto tiro a causa dei pericoli ambientali che genera.

Œuvrer en faveur d’un traité mondial pour lutter contre la pollution plastique, « l’une des plus grandes menaces d’origine humaine auxquelles notre planète est confrontée ».

Par Thalif Deen

NATIONS UNIES (IDN) – Dans le film hollywoodien à succès de 1967 « Le Lauréat » – une comédie romantique réalisée par Mike Nichols et basée sur un roman de Charles Webb – le jeune diplômé Dustin Hoffman reçoit un conseil non sollicité : « L’avenir est au plastique ».

Cette phrase, largement diffusée, a été saluée comme un coup de pouce à l’industrie mondiale du plastique. Mais 55 ans plus tard, le secteur est sous le feu des critiques en raison des risques environnementaux qu’il génère.

Striving for a Global Treaty to Combat Plastic Pollution, ‘One of the Greatest Human-Made Threats our Planet Faces’

By Thalif Deen

UNITED NATIONS (IDN) — In the 1967 Hollywood box office hit “The Graduate”—a romantic comedy directed by Mike Nichols and based on a novel by Charles Webb—the newly-graduated Dustin Hoffman gets an unsolicited piece of advice: “The future is plastics”.

The widely disseminated one-liner was hailed as a boost for the world’s plastic industry. But 55 years later, the industry is under fire because of the environmental hazards it generates. (P33) FRENCH | ITALIAN | JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF | TURKISH

Feminist UN Campaign Report Wants UN Chief to Walk the Talk

By J C Suresh

WASHINGTON, D.C. (IDN) — “Talk less, act more …. All words are like feathers in the air,” commented an informant of the Feminist UN Campaign‘s report on UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ commitment to gender equality in his five-year first term.

In fact, key informants reported that staff remain disillusioned with the UN’s “macho culture of impunity,” are profoundly mistrustful of reporting and justice mechanisms in the system and are fearful of retaliation. (P32) ITALIAN | JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF | PORTUGUESE | TAGALOG

国連で正当な地位を求めるアフリカ

【ハラレ/アジスアベバIDN=ジェフリー・モヨ

2月初めにエチオピアの首都アジスアベバのアフリカ連合(AU)で本部で開催された第35回AU通常総会で、アフリカの指導者らが国連改革を強く求めた。なかでも、これを最も強く主張していたのは、主催国のアビィ・アハメド首相であった。

昨年は新型コロナウイルス感染拡大の影響でオンライン総会だったが、規制が世界各地で緩和される中、今回は2年ぶりの対面での開催となった。

アハメド首相は、「世界の今の現実を反映するように国連を改革・再活性化し、国連がより代表性を高め平等な機関となるようにさせるのは今しかない」と語った。
