  4. KCL have released this statement. We congratulate you on your stand against the atrocities committed in Gaza, and on your courage to take direct action! Here at King's we are delighted to be part of a strong and vigorous movement that has become national. We very much wish to strengthen coordination between the different universities, in order to strengthen our movement and cause. This will increase the ability of students to have their voice heard in the name of justice and equality. We therefore suggest the following three points: 1. The intensification of communication between universities 2. The production of a bulletin to publicise the experiences of all occupations. 3. The issuing of a joint statement to be distributed as widely as possible (media, trade unions, the government, Universities UK, internationally etc). 1. The intensification of communication between universities In order to strengthen our cause we consider the creation of a united student front for Gaza a chance not to be missed. We therefore suggest that we intensify in any possible way our communication, in an important initial step on the way to achieving this goal. Moreover we suggest a meeting of students activists from all universities in occupation. 2. The production of a bulletin containing the experiences of all occupations At King's we sense that the occupation is becoming a formative experience for many student activists. We are certain we are gaining experience that should be shared and disseminated as widely as possible within the campus communities of Britain. We are sure we and future student activists have much to learn from the different experiences of dealing with issues such as mobilisation, organization, negotiation, etc. We therefore offer to edit a bulletin containing these experiences to be printed and send out to you in pdf. on Monday. This necessitates the collection of articles of approx. 500 words from each university by Sunday at 3pm. We would suggest the articles should deal with such issues as: The mobilization of students, the actual moment of occupation, problems with university security guards and police, negotiations with the university administrations, the organisation of activists during the occupation, forms of meetings and decision making, the establishment of work groups, public relations, solidarity work with NGOs, trade unions, etc. 3. Joint statement In light of the success of our developing movement we should have a deep far-reaching discussion amongst and between ourselves on the political demands we want to put forward. This should be pursued openly and fully in order for fully developed demands to be decided upon so that our movement can move beyond the present confines of our respective universities. We are very proud to be part of this nation-wide movement for Palestine and to contribute to the revival of student activism and the empowerment of students around the country. We wish you the best of luck with your occupations and other activities, and will be very, very glad to hear from you soon. Don't give up, the struggle for a free Palestine continues!

Mad Mullah 4. The father of Somali people, so I can hear it from the horses mouth where he came from and why Somalis are such mad people!
  10. Antara, in you are a student at Kings, there is a petition for KCL students only. You need to write your student number and full name. A general petition from the public would not make a difference as it is a privately funded institution. (unless you do a grand scale operation and tarnish its name beyond believe, coupled with a reduction in the number of new applicants this year.) Failing that, collecting list of names who are not stakeholders at KCL is dead end campaign. Few things which have an immediate impact that I would suggest are: - Those who have 50% of their fees still outstanding can also refuse to pay up and drag It out (I hear some people have already done this, but it needs to be more organized and systematic rather than random) - Students can put in transfer requests at KCL for next year, when they ask for a reason, say you are too ashamed to be associated with KCL for their actions. (Again this needs to happen in an organized/ systematic manner rather than two or three students.) The truth is I don’t think people care enough to move or do either of those things which have an immediate impact. Therefore by all means do a petition, but at least it must be student based. Good luck
  11. First-ever trial at International Criminal Court, on use of child soldiers, opens 26 January 2009 – Legal history was made today in The Hague, the Netherlands, when the International Criminal Court (ICC), which was mandated to try war crimes beginning in 2002, put its first suspect taken into custody, a Congolese warlord accused of recruiting child soldiers, on trial. The case of Thomas Lubanga Dyilo represents not only the debut proceedings of the ICC but also the first trial in the history of international law to see the active participation of victims in the proceedings, among which will number child combatants. In today’s proceedings, a plea of not guilty was entered by Mr. Lubanga, the founder and leader of the Union of Congolese Patriots in the Ituri region of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). He is accused of a series of war crimes, including conscripting and enlisting child soldiers into the military wing of his group and then using them to participate in hostilities between September 2002 and August 2003. In June 2008, the Court decided to impose a stay of proceedings in the case because of non-disclosure of documents on the part of prosecutors but it reversed that decision this past November because the reasons for the stay had “fallen away.” The hearings will be held before the Court’s Trial Chamber I, before Presiding Judge Adrian Fulford of the United Kingdom and Judges Elisabeth Odio Benito of Costa Rica and René Blattmann of Bolivia, according to an ICC press release. The ICC added that during the hearings, the Office of the Prosecutor, whose lead counsel is Deputy Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, will present a large number of the 1,671 documents which it has compiled in the case, as well as videos allegedly showing Mr. Lubanga in training camps in the company of recruits whose age seems to be below 15. Established by the Rome Statute of 1998, the ICC can try cases involving individuals charged with war crimes committed since July 2002. The UN Security Council, the ICC Prosecutor or a State Party to the Court can initiate any proceedings, and the ICC only acts when countries themselves are unwilling or unable to investigate or prosecute. Also today, Alan Doss, the Special Representative of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in the DRC, launched an appeal to armed groups in the central African country to demobilize the child soldiers that they have continued to recruit and deploy. Children’s protection organizations estimate that around 3,000 children are still among the ranks of those groups, mostly in the eastern Kivu provinces. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/new s/2009/01/mil-090126-unnews01.htm
