CHOGM Diary
The Commonwealth Needs More Movers and Shakers
The Commonwealth is short of imaginative leaders after the outstanding generations of Nehru, Trudeau, Nyerere, Lee Kuan Yew, Mandela, and Manley. Yet more than other international bodies it depends on the energy, ideas and personal contact of the people at the top. Democracy is producing a greater turnover of heads of government, but in this hurried world Commonwealth summits are now down to three days and the leaders are not getting enough time …

Twenty Commonwealth steps from Singapore to Kampala
The 2007 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Uganda faces several critical issues—among them, the situations in Pakistan and Bangladesh. The venue is politically controversial and the leaders will also find they can no longer ignore the situation in Zimbabwe. In Kampala they will elect the fifth Commonwealth Secretary-General and decide on whether the association's membership should be widened. The author, a long-time member of Th…
Commonwealth Update
Fiji is suspended from the Commonwealth after a military coup. Peace talks progress in Uganda and flounder in Sri Lanka. Pakistan's fragile alliance with the West is highlighted when President Musharraf is simultaneously praised for fighting terror in the USA and blamed for supporting extremists in the UK. A major terrorist alert at UK airports disrupts hundreds of thousands of travellers after police say they have foiled a plot to commit murder …

The Commonwealth and the media
The Commonwealth has been slow to promote freedom of expression and the independence of the journalist. The record of individual Commonwealth countries has been mixed. Some have relatively free media, others have restrictions reminiscent of colonial days, in others still the greatest threat comes from self‐censorship. Civil society organisations have sought to provide training and support for journalists. But much more could be done by government…

Media in the Commonwealth 2002
The ideal of free press remains an elusive quality in the Commonwealth's member nations. While most governments give voice to the principle, outrageous exceptions of negative pressure--including deaths, violent intimidation, and judicial and commercial sanctions--are evidence that universal democracy in this regard is a distant dream. But limits on free press, like free speech, have not curbed the corporate tendency to continue creating large cha…
Durban notebook
The right to speak freely
The adoption of the Harare Declaration marked increasing determination within the Commonwealth to improve the quality of democracy. But none of the Declarations relating to good governance and democracy explicitly refers to freedom of expression, and heads of government have been unwilling to spell out this freedom. In a democracy the function of the media is to make politicians uncomfortable and, since independence, journalists in many Commonwea…
A Much-Too-Timid Commonwealth
The key to building public awareness of the Commonwealth lies with governments and politicians. Yet, two years after a report drawing attention to this central finding of a cross-Commonwealth study, there is little sign of any improvement. While governments publicly endorse the Commonwealth ideal, politicians fail to take opportunities to emphasize the Commonwealth dimension. The stumbling block appears to be the stance of officials who consisten…
