The nuclear deal between Iran and the West should be saved, as the general consensus in France, Germany, the United States and Britain seems to be, that defusing tensions with Iran should be a diplomatic priority, to avoid a potential war, and to ensure that the human rights train can finally get on the tracks in Iran. The author advocates that President Hassan Rouhani should be convinced to come to the negotiation table, under the condition t...

Hence Archangel Ariel makes a mediation attempt, courageously claiming that Mexico and America are a dysfunctional family, but that divorce is not the answer - as the US-Mexico border closure would have a catastrophic impact, with milli...

As evidenced by the Tiananmen Square ...

Being stuck in time - and never having embraced the spirit and culture of the Allied Powers - the ÖVP entered government in 2017 with the far-right FPÖ party, which was originally established by Anton Reinthaller, a former Nazi functionary and SS officer, both the ÖVP and FPÖ having been responsible fo...

The Austrian SPÖ Party has governed Vienna - and Austria on a national level - for a few years since 1946. Having become a proxy party of the right-wing populist ÖVP Party - by falling in line with whatever the ÖVP dictates - the SPÖ Party is unwilling to implement any much-needed reforms in the country. Hence the reason why Austria has fallen back seven places on the Social Progress Index (SPI), inequality and poverty increasing in Austria dr...

Even though the Family Protection Act was passed in 2013 - which criminalizes domestic violence and allows victims to obtain protection orders - enforcement remains weak and inconsistent, with police and prosecutors rarely pursuing in...

There is a saying in China that 'power comes out of the barrel of a gun' - a policy practiced by hardliners of the CPC during the Tiananmen Square Massacre of 1989, and even today in China, as outlined in this evidenced based study - also in view of increased violent clashes between police and pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong and Mainland China, with Chinese military commanders stoking fears of Chinese military intervention, which could le...
