In January last year, Gaymard had already extended for three years suspension of the use of Gaucho, a chemical produced by the German chemicals and pharmaceuticals giant Bayer, for treatment of sunflower seeds. Gaucho, like another pesticide Regent TS produced by German chemicals giant BASF, has been accused by French bee-keepers of causing a high mortality rate among bees. Sales of Regent TS was suspended in France last February. An agriculture ministry report deemed that the government's decision to give farmers till June to use up their remaining stocks of pesticide was much less costly that destroying the crop seeds already sprayed. But the national association of bee-keepers says massive damage is being done to bee populations, which are crucial to plant pollination. Subisidiaries of Bayer and BASF, which sold Regent TS, are under criminal investigation in France for selling an agricultural product that is toxic to humans or animals.

Original Message Subject: France, US, Catholic Church Blasted for Role in Rwanda Genocide Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2000 23:34:21 -0500 (CDT) From: IGC News Desk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Organization: ? To: undisclosed-recipients:; Copyright 2000 InterPress Service, all rights reserved. Worldwide distribution via the APC networks. *** 07-Jul-0* *** Title: POLITICS: France, US, Catholic Church Blasted for Role in Rwanda Genocide By Jim Wurst UNITED NATIONS, Jul 7 (IPS) - A new investigation into the 1994 genocide in Rwanda and its aftermath is sharply critical of the United States, France and the Catholic Church for not exercising their powers to prevent or halt the murders of some 800,000 people. "Rwanda: The Preventable Genocide," commissioned by the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), says, "A small number of major actors could directly have prevented, halted, or reduced the slaughter." The report was also critical of the OAU and the United Nations. The seven-member International Panel of Eminent Personalities, chaired by the former president of Botswana Ketumile Masire, was established by the OAU ministers in November 1997. Masire presented the report to the OAU Summit in Lome simultaneously with the release in New York. Stephen Lewis, a member of the panel, released the report at the UN. He said, "We were dumbfounded by the involvement of France from the beginning to the end." French officials "were closer in every way to the Habyrimana regime than any other government; they could have stopped the genocide before it began. They knew exactly what was happening," Lewis said. "Worse ... they facilitated the exodus of a huge number of genocidaires, thereby ushering in the larger Great Lakes catastrophe." Juvenal Habyrimana was the president of Rwanda for 15 years until he was killed when his plane was shot down on Apr. 6, 1994 - the event that sparked the genocide. "There is almost no redemptive feature to the conduct of the government of France," added Lewis, a former Canadian ambassador and former UNICEF official. While France is blamed for not preventing the massacres, the United States is singled out for doing nothing to stop the genocide once it started. "The role of the US at the Security Council, in determinedly blocking a more effective UN intervention force throughout the entire genocide, is an almost incomprehensible scar of shame on American foreign policy," Lewis said. "The United States has in large measure already admitted its responsibility," Lewis noted. "The difference between our report and the United States' admission is that the president of the United States says the American behaviour during the genocide flowed from ignorance, we say absolutely not, you knew everything that was going on ... it flowed from public policy." The failure to intervene in halting the genocide was "a dreadful piece of public policy." The Rwanda genocide was launched in April 1994 by Hutu extremists in the government and the army against the country's Tutsi population and moderate Hutus. Approximately 800,000 people were slaughtered in 100 days. The OAU report is the latest to show that the genocide had been planned years in advance. Lewis also said the panel was "shocked" by the role of the Catholic Church. He said, "We specifically name the Catholic Church because its involvement with Habyrimana before the genocide, and the involvement of some of its leaders during the genocide, was entirely unforgivable." While some clerics died trying to stop the genocide, "there were also numbers of leaders of the Church who did not speak out strongly and did not take stands," he said. Belgium was also criticised. "Its panic in the face of the death of their 10 peacekeepers [on the second day of the genocide] turned into an inglorious effort to throttle United Nations involvement," Lewis said. As critical of the United States and France as the report is, it singles out Canadian General Romero Dallaire for praise. Lewis called him the "one exemplary human being in all of this." Dallaire, as the head of the UN peacekeepers in Rwanda, warned the United Nations of the coming genocide and pleaded for additional troops to stop the slaughter once it began. Instead, the Security Council decreased the mission's troop strength. In November of last year, a panel commissioned by the UN and chaired by the former Swedish Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson, issued its report on the genocide. While critical of the United States, France and Belgium, the Carlsson panel focused more on the failures of the secretariat and the Security Council as a whole. Lewis said the OAU panel endorses the Carlsson report, but as the panel investigated "it became more and more vivid to the panel that the role of France and the United States really had to be accentuated ... Both of them had it within their capacity to stop this genocide: the French before it began, the United States while it w

Stratfor Intelligence Services http://www.stratfor.com/services/ __ STRATFOR.COM Weekly Global Intelligence Update 6 March 2000 Why It's Not A New Cold War: Secondary Powers and the New Geopolitics Summary On the face of it, the fraying of relations between the United States and governments in China and Russia - over the war in Kosovo last year, the war in Chechnya and foreign policy at large - has suggested a return to the Cold War. Certainly, as we have argued, we are in a period of rising tension between the United States, Russia and China. Yet while tensions are rising, the period ahead is fundamentally different from the Cold War era. The Cold War limited room for maneuver among secondary powers. The new epoch will facilitate them. The case of France is instructive in this regard. Analysis The global geopolitical system appears to be dealing out a three- player game between the United States, China and Russia. Moscow's continued overtures to Beijing, which now appear to be gathering steam, are an excellent example. Superficially, this appears to resemble the makings of a new Cold War. There are, however, fundamental differences. First, Russia in 2000 is enormously weaker than the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It has contracted geographically. During the Cold War, Soviet forces were stationed in Germany, Czechoslovakia and Hungary. Today, Russia does not even occupy Ukraine. Whatever the orientation of its foreign policy, Moscow must first regain what it has lost - and that will take a generation. The Cold War was a game played at the extremes of power. There was little space for maneuver among great powers and most others were locked into one, or the other, of the alliance systems. Those that weren't - but were of strategic value, like Yugoslavia - were locked into constrained neutrality. Some, like Egypt, could change sides but could not stand free of entanglement. The Third World thought of itself as representing a neutral alternative. But in reality, any nation of strategic interest to the superpowers found itself locked in, formally or informally. But the current global geopolitical situation is fundamentally different. The overwhelming power of the United States allows it to impose its will where it wishes; conversely, the United States is powerful enough to be relatively indifferent to most issues. Washington has no interest in imposing its wishes lock-step upon its allies. Russia, now beginning the search for allies, cannot underwrite the sort of military assistance programs that were key to building ties with countries like Syria and Vietnam during the Cold War. China, frequently mentioned as a peer competitor, is in fact, a country isolated by geography - and a distinct lack of naval power. Beijing's power projection does not measure up to its bombast. As a result, there is more room for maneuver today for the world's secondary powers: France, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom and others. New possibilities arise. Secondary powers may in fact become great powers over time, as more opportunity and incentive arises for converting economic power into political power. The fundamental reality is that the vague situation among the great powers creates incentive for secondary powers to protect interests and seize opportunities. The net result will be a three-player game, with a lot of other players jostling elbows. This will make for a more interesting game, but a less stable world. Consider France. France is interesting for three reasons. First, until its defeat by Germany in 1940, France was a great power in its own right, with a global empire. Second, during the Cold War, it was by far the most restive of American allies and sought consistently and intensely to create the kind of room for maneuver for itself that it now actually has. Third, having achieved the room for maneuver it wanted, France, like the other countries in its class, is not quite sure what to do with that power. No two powers are alike, but there is much to learn from the French example - and the dilemma. Although it emerged on the winning side, France was a major loser in World War II. Exhausted by occupation and liberation, its self- confidence shattered, the global empire it had taken centuries to build soon slipped out of its hands. Britain and France occupied similar positions, yet responded in very different ways. Britain accepted its position as a subordinate
