Well, if Suella represents 'our country's values', a moral duty to to be at odds with them.

Pandemic accord dawn.com/news/1747406 @peoplesvaccine @HealthPolicyW @MSF_access @AccessToMedsIRL @MedsLawPolicy @IlonaKickbusch @MSF @South_Centre @3rdworldnetwork new pandemic accord will have to take on board concerns of the developing coutnries for it to work

I introduced the National Refugee Bill 2023 in the National Assembly today. Pakistan hosts one for the largest refugees populations in the world but there are now laws to safeguard and protect the rights of refugees who are also not acknowledged as such.

@PriyamvadaGopal South Centre in Geneva , the now defunct South Magazine , Third World Network in Malaysia and Third World Quartely are all specifically South foucssed periodicals and journals. Worthy of a look for recent analyis on South-North issues .

Has anyone written especially insightfully on the concept of the 'Global South' recently (or not so recently)? I've gone through a lot of stuff, some of it usefully summative, quite a lot of general blather, but nothing really perspicacious yet.
