PERSONAL ACCOUNT OF AN ARREST MADE IN COPENHAGEN by Nicolas Haeringer
Rationalisation of Repression, in 13 Acts
13 Acts and how many breaches of civil rights?
A personal account of one of the many arbitrary arrests made in Denmark.
The Assembly of social Movements, COPENHAGEN.
The Assembly of Social Movements was held on 13 December in the Klimaforum (the alternative forum or people’s climate summit). It brought together more than a thousand people, in a joyful, fraternal and combative atmosphere.
Copenhagen plan B : « Let's protect the rich » !
The Plenary conference session of the Kyoto Protocol parties has been postponed today.
The essential stumbling point is the final statute of the conference text. The 9 December was marked by being informed of Denmark's draft text, that could be the major outcome of the conference. This text, that had been elaborated secretly (rumours have been circulating about its existence now for several days), it violates the democratic principals of the United Nations and buries the Kyoto Protocol, just like the Rio convention on climate change.
First day in Copenhagen
Monday 7 December, Copenhagen 2009
The first day of pinpointing locations and most of all the accreditations. There are loads of people, it's the UNO conference that welcomes the most delegates and observers to the extent that there will be daily quotas for the NGOs and associations to enter within the conference walls.
We attended several conference meetings.
The Plenary of the working group on long-term cooperative action under the Rio Convention about climate change (AWG-LCA).
