In an interview with me in Geneva, Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe, the U.S. representative to the Human Rights Council, responded to questions about the urgency of establishing a monitoring mechanism for Iran.

The sea of change in Mexican public opinion must be respected and appreciated for what it is, a people tired over the spilling of blood when it could be stopped. Ending the War on Drugs is one of the most pressing policy challenges of the world.
When Barack Obama was running for president he committed to leading the United Nations and other countries towards a common global goal. Since becoming president, Obama has failed to convince the UN to follow his lead.
Oppressive governments are threatened by public exposure, and this means that it's not just human rights defenders but also bloggers, opinion journalists, and civil society activists who are regularly and viciously maligned.
The clamor from non-European nations is now for the new IMF managing director to be drawn from an emerging market nation. That's fine, so long as the person is selected for their competence.
Brazil's biofuel drama is a reminder that solutions packaged in green wrappers fail to scale with billions facing starvation in the Americas, Africa and Asia.

Ron Paul, apparently, is not a superstitious kind of guy. Tempting fate, as it were, he announced today that he's running for president once again -- on Friday the thirteenth.
We were afforded a relatively tourist-free glimpse into a real Cuban city -- devoid of Hemingway attractions and women in costume posing with cigars. We loved it.
Long ago I read that the acid test of a poet was to write a sonnet. Like a sonnet, there is nothing harder to write than a technical manual.
Let's discard the concept of "regime change" and, instead, coalesce around a new option of "regime choice" for the Cuban people.
Perched atop 750-foot Urca Mountain beside Rio's signature granite monolith, Sugarloaf Mountain, Abencoada stocks 50 different kinds of cachaca. Cachaca was once seen as a poor man's beverage. But, no longer.
