British historian caused outrage by saying 'slavery was not genocide' in a recent interview.




The state-sponsored genocide known as the Holocaust was the greatest crime of this century and a seminal event of modern times. In this major work, Klaus Fischer unravels the complex history of Judeophobia in its four essential forms: Christian, nationalistic, social-discriminatory, and biological-racial. He argues that German defeat in World War I cleared the way for the pathological Judeophobia that formed the core of Nazism. When Hitler turned Germany into a racist totalitarian state, Jews changed from "Christ-killers" or alien

UK historian David Starkey quits Cambridge after slavery remarks

美國副總統潘斯於10月4日的演講中,直接指控中國在新疆設置拘留營,監禁多達百萬名維吾爾穆斯林,晝夜施以洗腦等不人道待遇,蓄意扼殺維吾爾文化並消滅穆斯林信仰。「中國對於異族若非屈膝稱皇,就是視為禽獸」。對此指控,中國非但不否認,還試圖透過「新疆維吾爾自治區去極端化條例」,片面加以合法化。中國這種對維吾爾穆斯林族群計畫性、大規模的「殘虐行為(atrocity)」,已經構成了國際法上的「危害種族罪(crime of genocide)」。
危害種族是一種故意犯罪。像中國,是一整個國家集體犯罪,實務上不用證明哪個人有故意,而是用行為的態樣(例如施加凌虐暴行、強制遷徙,或規劃集中營),或造成死亡的人數,來推知其是否故意。中國以拘留營關押超過百萬維吾爾穆斯林,還用鐵路強制搬運,當然就是故意。
危害種族罪是一種國際刑法,各國都有義務加以追訴處罰。追訴的對象,從政府本身到各級官員,首謀幫助教唆犯,統統逃不掉。


In a Superstar Economy, a Bull Market in Superstar Harassers

By NOAM SCHEIBER


With companies operating on a more sweeping scale and conferring bigger rewards, more workers are apt to act with impunity, researchers say.


“The era of Brazilian society in which there is impunity for corrupt people, I think it is coming to an end.”


Life, Death and Graft in Southeast Asia
Thomas Fuller, a New York Times correspondent who is leaving the region after a decade, says one theme there keeps recurring: impunity.

"Online, you can discover and learn, entertain and inspire. It is in almost every way a liberation for all of us.

You can also babble with impunity. Under the cloak of anonymity, you can express the ugliest of sentiments; you can join a witch-hunt to destroy a reputation or to assassinate a character. We are thus liberated and simultaneously imprisoned by social media."

At State-Run Homes, Abuse and Impunity

By DANNY HAKIM
Decades after New York emptied its warehouses for the disabled, the current network of small group homes operates with scant oversight and few consequences for employees who abuse the vulnerable population.

There have been mixed international reactions to a request to indict Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir for genocide in Darfur. United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon said the world body respected the International Criminal Court's move, after the court's prosecutor requested that a panel of judges indict the Sudanese leader. The European Union's Development Commissioner called for an end to "impunity" in Darfur. However, Tanzania's foreign minister Bernard Membe, speaking on behalf of the Africa Union, called on the ICC to suspend any plans for an arrest warrant.

Q. Should owners of Chrysler cars and trucks be concerned?
A. The federal government said it would back the warranties on vehicles bought from Chrysler while it is operating in bankruptcy. So, effective Thursday, warranties are underwritten by the government.
Owners of Chrysler vehicles bought before Thursday should expect their warranties to be honored until they expire. But the work may not be performed by a Chrysler dealer. Companies operating in bankruptcy sometimes ask a judge to let them assign warranty repairs to outside vendors, who charge the company less for their work than a dealer would expect to be reimbursed.
Owners whose vehicle warranties have run out are liable for any problems with their cars and trucks, as they are now.
