 Foreign Ministers' talk shop to hit Prague - 21-05-2001 - Radio Prague
Ten years on, many of the foreign ministers of the day are to meet again in Prague next week for a conference on the impact of these events, and what the future may hold for the former USSR and Central and Eastern Europe.
The Conference of Foreign Ministers will be attended by the former foreign ministers and in some cases former prime ministers of more than twenty countries, who will come together to discuss the past, the present and ideas for the future.

 TITLE: Country Reports on Human Rights Practices: Brunei 2001
Editions of foreign newspapers or magazines with articles that were found objectionable, embarrassing, or critical of the Sultan, royal family, or government at times were not allowed into the country.
The Prime Minister's Office described Hatta's portrayal of Brunei as "irresponsible, untrue, inaccurate, misleading, and embarrassing." Hatta was reelected as PPKB president in October, and the Party has pledged to support government policies.

Attached to the report was a list of 189 sectarian organizations that were mentioned during testimony before the commission (including groups such as Jehovah's Witnesses, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Church of Scientology, and even the Young Women's Christian Association).
Although the introduction to the list clearly stated that there was no intent to characterize any of the groups as "dangerous," the list quickly became known in the press and to the public as the "dangerous sects" list.
The Church of Scientology took legal action in 2001 to obtain its documents and has filed a complaint claiming that the Prosecutor's Office provided prejudicial statements to the press in violation of the country's secrecy laws regarding investigations.

They fear that the inclusion of Hizbullah on the third list issued by the US of individuals and organisations related to Al-Qa'ida might be a warning that an attack may be launched against Lebanon, or specifically against Syrian positions in Lebanon, or even against Syria itself.
Syrian Foreign Minister Farouq Al-Sharaa was reported to have been told by his American counterpart in New York on Sunday that the US wants Damascus to use its influence over Hizbullah to reduce conflict with Israel.
At a meeting held in New York this week, Arab foreign ministers and the Arab League secretary-general seemed able to agree on this much at least: that a US initiative on Arab-Israeli peace is far from ready yet, and that US attacks against an Arab state, while possible, are not probable.

 Foreign Policy: Think Again: Middle East Democracy
The Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks also created pressure for reform—from both the United States and some Arabs who began to question why their societies were so widely viewed as dangerous political cesspools.
Although this desire for democracy may be heartfelt, the United States has a lengthy laundry list of other priorities in the region: access to oil, cooperation and assistance on counterterrorism, fostering peace between Israel and its neighbors, stemming the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and preventing Islamist radicals from seizing power.
