Desmond Tutu
In South Africa, indeed around the world, we are raised on a strict diet of justice as retribution. With violent crimes on a shocking upsurge, with the hideous crimes of child rape and abuse on the increase, there are nowadays frequent calls – backed by wide public support – to restore capital punishment. Mercifully, [...]

TUBINGEN – Many say that the world financial crisis could not have been foreseen. Perhaps not by financiers and economists, but others who were watching how markets were developing – often with dismay – were more than worried.
As early as 1997, I warned about a repeat of the collapsed economic order of 1929-1933 in [...]

Ban Ki-moon
