COVER:
AMERICAN AGGRESSION: The United States on the warpath against international
law
The
path to the Trump doctrine
Even
prior to its attack on Iran, the United States under the Trump administration
had dramatically altered the geopolitical landscape with a combination
of brute force, blunt threat and bulldozing action. Reflecting both
continuity and rupture with past US policy, this stance relies on coercion
without consent, and influence without legitimacy, contend Asli
Ü. Bâli and Aziz Rana in this piece written before the Iran
conflict.
The
illegal US-Israeli attack on Iran is also an assault on the United Nations
By Jeffrey D. Sachs and Sybil Fares
In waging an unprovoked war against Iran (one in which the fate
of a recently announced ceasefire hangs tenuously in the balance), the
US and Israel also have in their sights the UN Charter itself and the
international rule of law.
Maduro’s
abduction and the future global order
By Aleksandar Matkovic
Washington’s forcible seizure of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro
in January reveals how US elites act on the assumption that they can
exercise ‘exceptional’ powers – an assumption that risks becoming self-undermining.
Trump’s
cruelty is strangling Cuba
By Marjorie Cohn
On top of a punishing decades-long trade embargo, the US is escalating
its economic warfare against Cuba in a bid to force the socialist state
into submission.
A
world on its knees: Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ and the darkness it promises
By Craig Mokhiber
Charged with presiding over the administration of Gaza, the newly
established Board of Peace headed by Donald Trump is effectively an
imperial imposition not only on the Palestinian people but, given its
global reach, on the entire world.
Will
Trump break the nuclear taboo?
By Peter Kuznick and Ivana Nikolic
Hughes
He has already left a lengthy trail of destruction, but the chilling
risk is that the United States’ volatile leader could go on to reach
for the nuclear button.
ECOLOGY
Corporations
are using carbon credits to exploit refugees
By Nicholas Beuret and David Harvie
A UN scheme that purports to help tackle climate change while uplifting
the lot of refugees through generation of carbon credits falls short
on both counts.
