Summary/Abstract |
The Make Poverty History campaign, launched in 2005, mobilised citizens to press their governments at key moments throughout the year to take action to eliminate global poverty. Initiated and ?nanced by international development NGOs (INGOs), the campaign appealed to a broad constituency, building unity
around three demands: more and better aid, debt cancellation and trade justice. The call for solidarity and economic justice resonated with millions of people, who added their names to a 'virtual' coalition via internet petitions and public demonstrations around the world.

Summary/Abstract |
This article maps the internationalization of the Palestinian cause by studying the participants, groups, and themes at Palestinian solidarity conferences held in 1969–70. Examining such conferences reveals the extent of communication and ideological debate between the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and international solidarity activists at an important juncture in the internationalization of the Palestinian liberation movement. The article makes the methodological point that international conferences organized by the PLO and other Palestinian institutions can function as an alternative archive that complements the traditional archives of diplomatic and intellectual history. Read in tandem with extant Palestinian sources, the paper trail left by international conferences mitigates the scattered and precarious status of Palestinian archives.

Summary/Abstract |
This article argues for the need to codify and implement a new human right—the right to international solidarity. Similar to the right to peace, the right to development, and the right to clean environment, such a new right would express the interconnectedness of peoples and generations in recognition of a shared agency and responsibility to cooperate with each other to address pressing global common challenges.
