UN declares creation of International Day of Nonviolence
The 61st UN General Assembly decided on Friday to observe the
International Day of Nonviolence each year on October 2 - the birth
anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the spiritual and political leader of
India who led the struggle for India's independence from the British
Empire.
Introducing the resolution adopted by the 192-member body, India's
Minister of State for External Relations Anand Sharma, said the idea
originated at an international conference on "Peace, Nonviolence and
Empowerment - Gandhian Philosophy in the 21st Century" convened in New
Delhi in January this year.
Mahatma Gandhi was born October 2, 1869. His philosophy of nonviolence
has influenced national and international nonviolent resistance
movements to this day.
The assembly, "desiring to secure a culture of peace, tolerance,
understanding and nonviolence," invited states, UN bodies, regional and
nongovernmental organizations and individuals to commemorate the day,
including through education and public awareness, according to the text
of the resolution."

Indian helicopters for Myanmar: making a mockery of embargoes?
Introduction
EU non-governmental organisations are concerned at reports from credible
sources that the Government of India may transfer military helicopters to the
Government of Myanmar (Burma) as part of the two countries’ increasing military
co-operation. EU and US based companies have been extensively involved in the
design and production of these helicopters, the transfer of which would risk
undermining existing EU and US sanctions and arms embargoes on Myanmar.
This report examines EU (and, to a lesser extent, US) involvement in the making
of India’s Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH).
