Earth Summit from different angles
USA is Fall Guy, Japan unsung hero
RIO DE JANEIRO. June 9: If the UN Earth Summit were a movie, the United States would play the part of the fall guy and Japan the role of the unsung hero, reports AP.
When the curtain rose last week, the US was cast as villain for refusing to sing one of the summit's centerpieces — a treaty to protect the diversity of the plant and animal wo^ds.
Weeks earlier, it diluted an Important treaty on global warming for the same reason: it might hurt US business.
Since then, diplomatic miscues and a failure to articulate a clear environmental agenda has embarrassed Washington and isolated it from the
world's other major economic powers.
Meanwhile. Japan, by a public relations blitz and shrewd diplomacy, has kept critics from focusing on fts questionable record of hunting whales, fishing with drift nets and importing hardwoods from cn dangcrcd tropical forests.
Women unite
Reuter adds: Women from Amazon Indian tribes. Aslan slums and Washington offices have forged a coalition to make their voices heard at the Earth Summit, writes Reuter.
Despite the wide difference in their backgrounds, they have succeeded like never before In making women’s views heard, officials and women's
leaders say.
"We have made a tremendous contribution. Women have woken up the whole process." said Bella Abzug. a former member of the US congress and a special adviser to the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development — the Earth Summit.
Women’s groups say they have a special contribution to make to the debate on how to save the planet.
