アフガニスタン支援会議、アフガニスタンに治安権限を An international conference is supporting a plan for Afghan forces to take control of their country's security by two thousand fourteen. Afghan President Hamid Karzai proposed the plan, which also calls for greater control over development aid. The conference in Kabul also supported President Karzai's call for other countries to spend at least fifty percent of aid through the Afghan government. More than forty billion dollars have been spent on Afghanistan since two thousand one. American Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told delegates the United States is pleased by Afghan government improvements in governing and security. The final conference declaration also approved an Afghan plan about Taliban fighters. The plan calls for Taliban members to rejoin Afghan society if they surrender their weapons. They also would be required to denounce al-Qaida and accept the nation's constitution. |

オバマ大統領、キャメロン英首相がスコットランド非難 President Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron have condemned Scotland's release of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi. Scottish officials released the Libyan, who was found guilty of the nineteen eighty-eight airplane bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland. However, Mr. Cameron rejected calls for an investigation into whether British oil company BP influenced the Libyan's release. He said Scotland made the decision. Some American lawmakers have accused BP of seeking the release of al-Megrahi to gain a business deal. Al-Megrahi was released because doctors said he had a short time to live. But, he is alive and free today in Libya. |

At least, one detainee reportedly died because of abuse. Ms. Pillay says such actions violate local and international laws and threaten the weak peace in Kyrgyzstan's south.
