<description><![CDATA[Only a few days prior to three bomb attacks by Al Qaeda-backed Somali militants in Kampala, Uganda, which killed at least 76 people as they watched the World Cup final, the European Court of Human Rights (the "Court") delayed the United Kingdom's extradition to the United States of four terrorist suspects who are wanted for plotting to set up a jihad training camp in Bly, Oregon, USA and conspiring to commit international terrorist atrocities.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Support for UN Governance of Space Explains NASA Development Agenda]]></title>
<link>http://www.globalgovernancewatch.org/spotlight_on_sovereignty/support-for-un-governance-of-space-explains-nasa-development-agenda</link>
<description><![CDATA[Since 1979, the United Nations has been encouraging nations to ratify an international treaty that places the UN at the center of the governance of outer space. The so- called "Moon Agreement" requires that all activities on the moon and other celestial bodies be carried out in accordance with international law, in particular the Charter of the United Nations. The Agreement also provides that the exploration and use of outer space "shall be the province of all mankind and shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interests of all countries, irrespective of their degree of economic or scientific development." Recent actions taken by the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama indicate that it has decided to support the UN in its quest to govern outer space for the collective good of humanity. This explains the recent statement of NASA Administrator Charles Bolden that "NASA is not only a space exploration agency, but also an earth improvement agency."]]></description>

<link>http://www.globalgovernancewatch.org/spotlight_on_sovereignty/us-national-security-strategy-promotes-american-acceptionalism</link>
<description><![CDATA[If President Barack Obama&#39;s National Security Strategy (the "NSS") is any indication, American exceptionalism is an outdated theory.  Instead, America must accept a new international order where, instead of free and hard-working Americans deciding how to use their excess wealth for their benefit, the benefit of their fellow Americans, and the benefit of other nations, Americans will work hard to support failing social welfare programs domestically and abroad and to finance the "clean" growth of developing countries so that wealth imbalances among nations can be eliminated.  Under the NSS, America&#39;s guiding principles are transformed from life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to work, redistribution, and the pursuit of balance.]]></description>

<link>http://www.globalgovernancewatch.org/spotlight_on_sovereignty/expert-wants-un-human-rights-groups-to-govern-counterterrorism-efforts</link>
<description><![CDATA[A special advisor to the United Nations Human Rights Council has recommended that two UN human rights bodies become responsible for monitoring national counter-terrorism efforts to determine whether they violate a right to privacy under international human rights law.  If this occurs, nations would have to prove to UN investigators that the surveillance, data gathering, search, and watch list monitoring activities used to prevent terrorist attacks conform with a proposed global declaration on data protection and data privacy.  If, in the opinion of the UN, one or more of a nation&#39;s counter-terrorism efforts do not satisfy the UN&#39;s permissible limitations on the right to privacy, UN Human Rights Committee staff and supportive non-governmental organizations would assist individuals in filing complaints against the nation.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["International law needs the agreement of authentic actors, on common values, to generate a real and binding rule of law.  As a laboratory for the integration of national legal cultures, the European Union experience is the "embryo" for the future of international law.  Europe remains a work in progress, and it has not reached its definitive shape, neither in its geographical dimension, nor in its political ambition.&#8232;"]]></description>
