Peace dividends and war preparation - some unpopular truths
“Si vis pacem, para bellum” (If you want peace, prepare for war), goes a famous saying by a Roman war strategist, Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus, in the 4th century. This is one of the most sobering, pessimistic views of peace and war, and indeed, of the nature of mankind - but unfortunately, it is only too true. Nothing can illustrate this better than the current war in Europe.

Plastic waste: common scourge of South and North Korea and source of future cooperation
When in June for one week the so-called Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm (BRS) conventions took place in Geneva, hundreds of delegates from all 188 participating countries in these three leading multilateral environment agreements came together to discuss how to better govern chemicals and waste management, in order to protect human health and the environment.
