Unter der Herrschaft Pol Pots und der Roten Khmer kamen in Kambodscha in knapp vier Jahren beinahe zwei Millionen Menschen ums Leben. Wer nicht zu Tode gefoltert oder hingerichtet wurde, starb an Hungersnot und Krankheit. 30 Jahre lang wurde diese schmerzvolle Vergangenheit von den Kambodschanern verdrängt und totgeschwiegen, bis das Rote Khmer Tribunal seine Arbeit aufnahm.
The Future's Past begleitet drei kambodschanische Jugendliche durch einen lebensverändernden Prozess, in dem sie erstmals über die ihnen kaum bekannte Realität ihrer Elterngeneration erfahren. Diese Entdeckung wird für sie eine entscheidende Wegmarke im eigenen Erwachsenwerden.

Acquitté, l'affréteur reste en prison : La défense n'en revient pas. « C'est la première fois que j'obtiens un acquittement sans remise en liberté », s'indigne M e Thierry Fillion. Jeudi 9 février, la cour d'assises spéciale d'Ille-et-Vilaine a rendu son verdict dans l'affaire du Junior.

Procter & Gamble to Extend Mother-Centric Campaign at Olympics
Procter & Gamble, the giant marketer of household staples, will expand a popular advertising campaign around the world in connection with its sponsorship of the 2012 Summer Olympics.

What makes a good translator might be open to interpretation, but it's clear what translates into being a good interpreter. Interpreters are quite simply the European Parliament's tightrope walkers. Always performing under pressure, they need to find the right balance between speed and accuracy. But if they fail, there is no safety net to catch them. Let's take a look back-stage at these linguistic daredevils.
Interpreters work in real time: they listen and speak at the same time, which leaves no room for mistakes. "Once a word is out, you cannot take it back so they have to be pretty sure of what you are doing," said Olga Cosmidou, the Parliament's director-general for interpretation and conferences. "Speed is one of their biggest enemies, but at the same time it is very exciting. You have to like this positive stress and the adrenaline rush, you have somehow to anticipate what MEPs are going to say."
Red T, in partnership with the International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC) and the International Federation of Translators (FIT), issued a Conflict Zone Field Guide for Civilian Translators / Interpreters and Users of Their Services. This document, the first of its kind, outlines the basic rights, responsibilities, and practices recommended by the three organizations. It applies to translators and interpreters serving as field linguists for the armed forces, journalists, NGOs, and other organizations in conflict zones.
Our priority action steps include:
» Drawing attention to and informing the public about the plight of translators and interpreters in conflict zones and other high-risk settings
» Redefining the role of conflict zone translators and interpreters and working toward protected-person status akin to that granted ICRC staff
» Seeking to obtain a UN resolution conferring special legal status to T&Is operating in conflict zones (similar to Resolution 1738 protecting journalists)
» Exposing injustices and rights violations as they relate to translators and interpreters
» Mitigating the legal vulnerability of translators and interpreters by notifying them of new and existing U.S. case law
» Monitoring incidents involving the translator-traitor mentality and alerting the public
» Creating and maintaining a central data registry for translators and interpreters incidents and statistics
» Tracking translators and interpreters policy progress by country (e.g., legal developments, asylum grants, insurance protocols, etc.)
» Organizing, conducting, and/or sponsoring public events and lectures
» Encouraging discussion about T&I issues and providing a base forum for the exchange of ideas
» Aiding other organizations in the creation and development of programs that further T&I-related causes
» Uniting T&I initiatives launched by individuals, groups, and trade associations under a common banner
» Raising awareness of the Red T, its logo, and its goals, in order to secure worldwide recognition
