His legacy is more than just ending apartheid and even greater than giving birth to the new South Africa. Rather, his legacy is the radical idea that a society once at war with itself can not just heal the wounds born from a violent ideology, but become a shining beacon of hope and justice to the entire world." UN Dispatch (12/5) Share:      United Nations Solution to India's food-subsidy stalemate may speed WTO trade reforms The World Trade Organization appears to have found a solution regarding India's food-subsidy program, which was an obstacle to passage of WTO's first global trade reforms. The reforms will "allow developing countries to skirt the normal rules on farm subsidies if they are trying to feed the poor," write Randy Fabi and Tom Miles.

"The indicators and programs that come out of this framework should be more integrated in nature, with individuals, not diseases, as their starting point, and the ability to respond to health needs throughout their lives," she argues.

These countries understand that climate risks need to be managed, but lack of funding prevents many from implementing the programs necessary to forecast and combat natural disasters, Perera argues.
