France: UK Fishing-Boat “Impounded” – Hindering Migrant Dinghys? (27.5.2025)

27/05/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said they had failed to stop thousands of migrants crossing the Channel in small boats, accusing France of “taking no action whatsoever at sea and often ushering the illegal immigrants into UK waters”.

“Yet when a UK fishing vessel is in French waters all of a sudden they are magically able to act. If the French can now intercept boats then they should start stopping the boats with illegal immigrants – as international law obliges them to do.”

The UK and the EU have struck a deal that covers fishing, trade, defence, energy and strengthening ties in a number of policy areas still up for negotiation.

A key part of the deal involves giving European fishing boats a further 12 years of access to British waters in exchange for easing some trade frictions.

Critics from the Conservatives and Reform UK described the deal as a “surrender” to the EU, while the Liberal Democrats said the government had taken some “positive first steps” to rebuilding ties with Europe.

Yirenkyi Jesse: “Democracy Summit” a Show of Arrogance – Says African Expert! (18.3.2024)

Since its inception, the event has been plagued by a litany of failures and criticisms, revealing the dysfunctional nature of American democracy, he said. “Even within its own borders, the Summit for Democracy has faced fierce opposition, with lawmakers, experts and media outlets alike denouncing it as little more than a hollow echo chamber of empty rhetoric.”

“By weaponizing democracy as a political tool, the United States seeks to assert its hegemonic dominance, dividing the world along arbitrary lines and sowing discord in its wake,” Jesse said.

He concluded that unless the United States aligns its actions with its rhetoric, its self-claimed spirit of democracy will remain elusive, obscured by American hypocrisy and hubris.

China: Foreign Minister Denounces Deprivation of ‘Freedom of Speech’ in US!

Meanwhile, the U.S. also manipulates freedom of speech in foreign countries by controlling international public opinion, in order to maintain its hegemony. The U.S. uses social media to launch psychological warfare along with military operations in other countries, and suppresses anti-war rhetoric.

It uses freedom of speech to practice double standards, creates a smokescreen and claims that other countries are spreading “false information,” while it publishes various distorted and discrediting reports based on false information to divert the attention of the international community from the misdeeds of the U.S.. On May 4, 2022, U.S. Senator Rand Paul spoke bluntly at a Senate hearing: “Do you know who the greatest propagator of disinformation in the history of the world is? The U.S. government.”

DPRK Arab Association: Only Way to Settle Middle East Crisis – Terminate Double Standards of US and West! (13.2.2024)

13/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

It was none other than the U.S. and western countries that cooked up a brigandish decision on building an Arab State and a Jewish State – by dividing Palestine at the Second Session of the UN General Assembly in November 1947 – whilst that decision instigated the Zionists’ ambition for territorial expansion by handing over a large amount of redundant WWII weaponry after the “founding” of the State of Israel.

Even when Israel brutally suppressed the just struggle of the Palestinian people while resorting to the expansion of Jewish Settlements by blockading the Gaza Strip, the U.S. and the West supported Israel, playing the role of blind and deaf mute.

The double standards of the U.S. and the West patronizing Israel are becoming more apparent with the Middle East conflict acting as this policy’s sounding board.

China: US Manipulation of UN Against “Peace”! (9.11.2023)

BEIJING, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) — Amid a global outcry for peace, the United States has once again pitted itself against the international community by vetoing a draft resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

At the Security Council’s meeting on the Israel-Palestine issue, the resolution — submitted by the United Arab Emirates to the United Nations (UN) Security Council on Friday — received overwhelming support from 13 of the 15 Security Council members, with Britain abstaining. The United States is the only member to vote against it.

World Refugee Day (20.6.2023): Forum of Institutions and Associations – International Community Should Recognize Rights of Palestinian Refugees! (21.6.2023)

The Forum of Institutions and Associations operating in the Palestinian sector in Lebanon – calls on the International Community to help and enable Palestinian Refugees to exercise their Right of Return to their homes and lands from which they were expelled, to abandon the policy of double standards in the application of International Law, and not to discriminate between Refugees based on their origin, race, colour or their religion!
