Although Kazakhstan’s Senate rarely exercised its influence over the country’s foreign policy, its abolishment has left the country without the diplomatic expertise and sequential vetting that the upper chamber once provided.

Ten years ago, China was a prominent source of Ebola aid. Today, China’s more powerful but its response is less than many expected – especially as the U.S. steps back.

Climate-induced planned relocation is becoming an unavoidable policy issue for some highly exposed communities. Although relocation should remain a last resort after other realistic options for adaptation in place have been assessed, ensuring that the money is available when needed to support relocation is critical. The challenge is that funding is insufficient, drawn from diverse sources and often arrives too late and in fragmented forms: for example, one project for housing, another for infrastructure, and little predictable support for consultation, land negotiations, safeguards, livelihoods, host communities or long-term maintenance. The financing problem is therefore not only the scale of the costs, but the difficulty of organising money over time and across institutions and safeguards. This can leave governments reacting after crises rather than planning before risks become unmanageable.
Sovereign trust funds offer one practical way to address this gap. They do not create finance by themselves, but they can provide a country-owned platform for receiving, sequencing and reporting domestic revenue, bilateral support, multilateral development bank (MDB) finance, climate funds, disaster risk finance, and loss and damage resources. They present an alternative to predominantly loan- and grant-based financing for planned relocation. Fiji’s Climate Relocation of
Communities Trust Fund shows both the promise and limits of this approach: It provides a legal and institutional basis for relocation finance within government and links international funding to procedures, but it still requires capitalisation, administrative capacity and long-term technical support. The model presents an opportunity to support sovereign, rights-based financing systems rather than relying solely on donor-funded, often piecemeal relocation projects. It can also make funding available at the appropriate time and without undue time pressure.
Key policy messages:
• Finance planned relocation before a crisis, especially assessment, consent, land, safeguards and project preparation.
• Treat relocation as a long-term investment in the collective good, rather than solely as a construction or emergency response measure.
• Support sovereign trust funds where they are legally mandated at the national level, budget-linked, transparent and capitalised.
• Use finance to uphold quality and rights, including community-led processes, support for host communities and support for long-term livelihoods.

Un an après le lancement de l’opération Lance du Sud (Operation Southern Spear), la question de son efficacité se pose alors que les États-Unis veulent désormais l’étendre à tout le continent américain. Cette campagne militaire de surveillance, mise en place par l’administration de Trump, a pour but officiel de « détecter, perturber et dégrader les réseaux criminels transnationaux et les réseaux maritimes illicites ». Or, les accusations d’exécutions extrajudiciaires portées par de nombreuses ONG ainsi que les chiffres officiels qui annoncent 227 morts interroge sur son réel impact.

Quel bilan tirer de cette première année ? Au-delà des chiffres officiels, quelles conséquences réelles pour le narcotrafic et pour la région des Caraïbes ? Et alors que le dispositif s’étend désormais à toute l’Amérique latine, assiste-t-on à l’émergence d’une nouvelle doctrine militaire américaine dans la région ?

Nouvelle chronique de l’Amérique latine avec Christophe Ventura, directeur de recherche à l’IRIS et responsable du Programme Amérique latine/Caraïbe.

L’article Opération Lance du Sud dans la Caraïbe : où en sont les promesses de Trump un an après ? est apparu en premier sur IRIS.

The current threat from al-Qaida is diffused. It relies on homegrown, lone-actor terrorists to carry out low-end attacks, such as stabbing and vehicle ramming.
