The others are<br />Nepal and the small Pacific island nation of the Solomon Islands. The Nepalese<br />Minister of Peace and Reconstruction will speak at the Global Alliance Summit<br />for Ministries and Departments of Peace in Costa Rica, September 17-21, 2009,<br />and, of course, we anticipate that the new Costa Rica minister will speak also.<br /><br />Congratulations are due to Rita Marie Johnson and her team at the Rasur<br />Foundation, the principal NGO voice for a Minister of Peace, who worked for 3<br />years on this project. She has particularly noted that holding the Global<br />Alliance Summit in CR accelerated and added impetus to the passing of this Bill.<br />The Global Alliance has shown its ability to assist in moving forward our<br />objective to create ministers of peace in all nations.<br /><br />In Japan, where the 3rd Summit was held in September 2007, that Summit assisted<br />in the further strengthening of the threatened Article 9 in the Japanese<br />Constitution, the article that prevents Japan from acting as a belligerent<br />against any other nation and renounces war as a vehicle of resolving conflict.<br />To date, despite considerable pressure from the US and the wishes of the<br />conservative parties in Japan, Article 9 remains intact as a model clause for<br />every nation's constitution.<br /><br />Please circulate this good news widely and consider joining our strong Canadian<br />delegation of 9 delegates to date to the Costa Rica Summit.<br /><br />In peace,<br />Saul<br /><br />Saul Arbess, Co-chair<br />Canadian Department of Peace Initiative(CDPI)<br /></span></span><a href="mailto:saul.arbess@departmentofpeace.ca" style="color: rgb(42, 93, 176); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">saul.arbess@departmentofpeace.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><wbr>ca</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></span><a href="http://www.departmentofpeace.ca/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(42, 93, 176); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">www.departmentofpeace.ca</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br />250-383-5878</span></span>thinkglobalnowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08315651462706610735noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727792942196732432.post-4201045576348235322009-08-15T22:57:00.004-05:002009-08-15T23:25:45.573-05:00Departures [Okuribito] (2008)<span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >Departures [</span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >Okuribito</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >] (2008)</span><span style="font-size:85%;"> won the 2009 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In his review of </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >Departures</span><span style="font-size:85%;">, Bret Fetzer says,<br /></span><blockquote><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Departures </span>is surely the gentlest, sweetest movie about death that you will ever see. ... Though it starts out quietly and even seems slight, it gradually builds in emotional power, layer by layer, until scene after scene at the end is richly moving. Particularly affecting is the performance of Kimiko Yo, the secretary of the company, who harbors a troubling secret. A few moments of overt symbolism push the movie from compassion to sentimentality--but every time Departures seems to have lost its footing, a scene follows that strikes all the right notes so deftly it resonates like a bell. A truly marvelous movie.

The article, titled "<a href="http://www.armscontrol.org/act/2009_6/Johnson">Enhanced Prospects for 2010: An Analysis of the Third PrepCom and the Outlook for the 2010 NPT Review Conference</a>," summarizes the negotiations and results of the Third PrepCom. The PreCom raised hopes for a productive 2010 Conference (scheduled for May 3-28, 2010), but also highlighed the enormous political and diplomatic work required in the next year to achieve agreements that will result in advancing the nonproliferation agenda and in creating a foundation for moving toward a world free of nuclear weapons.

Their "Peace News" covers a wide range of topics from nuclear abolition to peace education. One piece of bright news that I found recently is:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.hiroshimapeacemedia.jp/mediacenter/article.php?story=20090616125102838_en">Japanese parliamentarians seek to establish A-bomb museum in Washington, D.C.</a><br /><br />The "NPT Promotion Committee" that consists of 6 parliamentarians from different parties, plans to unveil a monument to "express the hope of eliminating nuclear weapons" in next May, when the NPT Review Conference takes place. Also some time in the next year, they aim to open "a permanent museum to convey the consequences of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki." <br /><br />Peter van den Dungen, who leads the <a href="http://www.museumsforpeace.org/">International Network of Museums for Peace</a>, said during the 6th International Conference of Museums for Peace conference in Hiroshima in October 2009, that he would like to see A-bomb museums in the capital cities of all the nuclear-possessing countries. This move initiated by a group of Japanese parliamentarians will be a great start. <br /><br />According to Chugoku Newspaper, the six members of the "NPT Promotion Committee" are:<br /><br />Minoru Terada, LDP (House of Representatives,) 寺田稔(自民、衆院広島5区)<br />Tsutomu Tomioka, LDP (House of Representatives) 富岡勉(自民、衆院比例九州=長崎1区)<br />Hideo Hiraoka, DPJ (House of Representatives) 平岡秀夫(民主、衆院山口2区)<br />Kenzo Fujisue, DPJ (House of Councilors) 藤末健三(民主、参院比例)<br />Nobuto Hosaka, SDP(House of Representative) 保坂展人(社民、衆院比例東京)<br />Akira Kasai, JCP (House of Representative) 笠井亮(共産、比例東京)<br /><br />LDP=Liberal Democratic Party; DPJ=Democratic Party of Japan; SDJ=Social Democratic Party of Japan; JCP=Japan Communist Party)<br /><br />Where are the women? I should make an inquiry :)<br /><br />SatokoPeace Philosopherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03884294048618803206noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727792942196732432.post-7857657506800331742009-07-01T03:56:00.003-05:002009-07-02T10:01:22.873-05:00Class Interview with Yumi KikuchiYumi Kikuchi described her development as an environmentalist, peace activist and media educator in this video clip when the Webster University class, "Global Issues: Japan" visited with her in Tokyo on June 2, 2009:<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/o45i2tQD39E&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/o45i2tQD39E&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><p><br />For more information on Yumi Kikuchi, see: <a href="http://globalissuesjapan.blogspot.com/2009/05/resources-on-yumi-kikuchi.html">http://globalissuesjapan.blogspot.com/2009/05/resources-on-yumi-kikuchi.html</a>thinkglobalnowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08315651462706610735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727792942196732432.post-5585373485595939452009-06-23T14:54:00.002-05:002009-06-23T14:58:26.178-05:00HumanRights.comThe International Foundation for Human Rights sponsors a website, <a href="http://www.humanrights.com"><span style="font-weight: bold;">http://www.humanrights.com</span></a> which includes videos and other information resources on the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.

This follows the previous day’s endorsement of a similar resolution on the part of theHouse of Representatives. Parliamentary endorsement of these resolutions was prompted by U.S. President Barack Obama’s call in April for a nuclear-free world and then by North Korea’s nuclear test May 25. The upper house resolution says Japan, as the only country attacked with atomic bombs, has spearheaded an antinuclear movement and ‘‘has the responsibility tofurther step up the campaign.’’<br /><br />Satoko Norimatsuthinkglobalnowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08315651462706610735noreply@blogger.com0
