GENEVA — Nearly 500 United Nations staff got together at a Labour Day rally in Geneva to protest against sweeping budget cuts prompted by President Donald Trump's decision to pull the US back from its position as the world’s largest aid donor."Reducing the number of UN staff means reducing the means of survival for the fight against famine, for education and for displaced families," said Ian Richards, the president of the UN Geneva staff union.The Geneva rally, held on the Place des Nations in front of the UN building, comes two days after several UN aid agencies announced they would have to slash jobs due to funding cuts, primarily from the US, warning that the reductions will severely impact aid programmes worldwide.Other bodies like the UN children's agency UNICEF,...

ZAGREB — Croatia's war of independence ended almost 30 years ago. However, the EU and NATO member's lawmakers felt some matters stemming from the conflict had not been fully laid to rest.On Wednesday, MPs overwhelmingly voted in favor of a new piece of legislation called the Graveyard Law, replacing the two-decades-old policy with a fresh set of rules which now demand the removal of graveyard inscriptions and plaques erected during the 1991-1995 conflict "not in line with the constitutional order".The new law, as explained in a statement released by the Ministry of Physical Planning, Construction and State Assets, outlaws inscriptions made during the "occupation and peaceful reintegration" and contains "symbols that might offend the morals and feelings of...

BRUSSELS — More than half of all EU countries intend to make use of an exemption allowing them to go over budgetary limits in order to boost military spending, the European Council has said.The European Commission proposed earlier this year that members could use an emergency clause to spend up to 1.5% of their GDP on defense investments over the next four years without breaching rules on public deficits and debt.The move came after the Trump administration suggested that Europe should pay more to defend itself and amid security concerns over Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine.Germany and Poland are leading the group of countries that have indicated they want to do so, the EU said in a statement on Wednesday.Hungary and Slovakia, whose governments are considered to be Moscow-friendly,...
