De genocidio sindical en Colombia, empresariado exitoso, coca y democracias secuestradas
Va de mal a peor la situación de los derechos humanos en Colombia. En el primer semestre de este año fueron asesinadas 30 sindicalistas y personas que defienden los derechos humanos y la cosa podría ser peor sin los esquemas de protección que reciben algunas de las personas en riesgo.

The world’s largest iron-ore producer plans to double its shipments in the next five years to China, where it now supplies 12 percent to 14 percent of the country’s iron ore consumption, said Jose Carlos Martins, Vale’s head of ferrous metals.

AUSTRALIA – UK – WORLDWIDE – The London based International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) has submitted comments on behalf of the global shipping industry to a comprehensive competition policy review being conducted at the request of the Australian Government, which is looking at ways to ‘reinvigorate Australia’s competition culture’. In its submission, the ICS makes a firm point to support the maintenance of what it calls ‘important’ antitrust exemptions that currently apply to international maritime transport, particularly the container shipping sector, exemptions which it argues support the ocean freight industry in a myriad of ways, and the Chamber also draws attention to the practices and recent rulings of other countries that Australia has trade ties with.
