UNESCO’s world heritage sites: A danger list in danger
Posted on 26. Aug, 2010 by admin.
In its care for precious places, the UN cultural agency is torn between its own principles and its members’ wishes; the principles are losing ground WHEN an archipelago famed for its flora and fauna is deemed to have escaped from environmental peril, that might sound like good news for anyone with an interest in the fate of life on Earth. But UNESCO’s recent clean bill of health for the Galapagos islands was greeted with dismay by many of the people who care passionately about the place. The decision to remove the islands from the list of “world heritage sites in danger”—taken at a meeting in Brasilia that concluded on August 3rd—was only one of several signs that the UN agency is bending its own rules under pressure from member states. And since UNESCO is supposed to be an unprejudiced protector of the whole world’s built and natural environment, such slipping standards are not merely of concern in remote Pacific islands. …

Celebrity philanthropy: Making one key-stroke too many
Posted on 20. May, 2010 by admin.
A rapper learns what is expected of the modern celanthropist “THEY took away my Twitter,” moans Wyclef Jean, only half-joking. If anybody thought it was easy to mix success as an entertainer with a saintly image, his recent story is a cautionary tale. “They” refers to an army of PR and marketing professionals hired to restore the Haitian-born musician’s reputation after questions were asked about the management of his charitable foundation, Yele Haiti. And “their” wish to silence him seems understandable. Shortly after he started raising money for victims of the Haiti earthquake in January, a website called Smoking Gun published tax returns from the foundation (three years’ worth were filed on one day last August), showing payments to businesses owned by Wyclef and his partners. After a tearful statement in which he admitted “mistakes” but denied misappropriating funds, he unleashed a barrage of tweets. One said: “My Garage could fit half of the people on twitter why would I steal Charity Money!” And in April, after a surge of gossip about his relationship with the foundation’s vice-president, Zakiya Khatou-Chevassus, he tweeted: “Donkeys spread rumours about me I don’t respond cause I’m the master that leads them to the well to drink the water.” Now, says one of his new advisers, “Wyclef is only allowed to tweet under supervision.” The professional approach of stars like Bono, Shakira, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has raised the expectations of other celebrities engaged in philanthropy, says Trevor Neilson of the Global Philanthropy Group, which advises a roster of so-called “celanthropists”. “It is no longer enough to turn up on a red carpet and say charitable things. You have to be businesslike.” …
