Drawing from examples of conflicts across the globe from the Balkans to Africa, the Foreign Secretary observed that the unifying factor in each case was a fundamental failure of the state, caused by disintegration in the social fabric and signalled by a breakdown in human rights, freedom, tolerance and the rule of law.
He described the electoral process’s failure as 'a tragedy for the people of southern Africa as a whole' and went on to outline the measures being taken by members of the international community to 'stand by the people of Zimbabwe in the face of the deprivation and hardship heaped on them by their government'.
Foreign Secretary Jack Straw writes in The Times on 5 March that the stalemate between the United Nations and Iraq 'cannot go on forever' and that the threat from Iraq to international security is not receding.

Jack put his hand on the wheel: the ship was uneasy, an odd hesitant griping that she never gave in a smooth current, though for the two fathoms down their instruments could read all remained steady.
Jack nodded and looked at Pullings; she had been with the ship as long as he had, and if he was not at the wheel she was the only one to whom he could trust her.
Jack paused, blankly: he had heard of the Caldemar Prize, of course, but he had never conceived of Stephen's having won it: Caldemar Scholars were, in his mind, old men in universities or in high Government office, or perhaps rarely consultants to some enormous corporation.

The Union Jack was the flag used by the Australian forces in the Sudan War (1885), the Boxer Rebellion (1900-1901), and the Boer War (1899-1902, i.e.

 Features: California Book Awards Jack Hicks - Commonwealth Club
The Literature of California came together at the annual Art of the Wild conference at Lake Tahoe in 1997, when Jack Hicks, Jim Houston and Al Young (all staff writers) – and Maxine Kingston shortly after – agreed to undertake the first fully comprehensive anthology of California literature.
It's daunting to hold the weighty Volume I in one's hand, and it is a challenge to continue the level in Volume II, which runs from World War II to the present, a sprawling and turbulent California era.
But the reception to Volume I, the opportunity to read deeply in the subject matter, be excited by and argue about it, and recognition such as The Commonwealth Club Silver Medal for Californiana make the effort (like all California good things, a gamble) worthwhile.

In four days time members of the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG) will gather at the Commonwealth Secretariat, Marlborough House in London, to discuss, amongst other issues, the behaviour of President Mugabe and his government in recent months.
Mugabe is apparently unimpressed by the possibility of his nation being suspended by the Commonwealth when the Heads of Government meet in Australia in March and the decision taken by the leaders there will be largely based on the recommendations of this week's CMAG meeting in London.
Suspension from the Commonwealth would be largely a symbolic thing.
