Senators in the Philippines have found the country’s top judge guilty of failing to declare his wealth, paving the way for his removal from office. A majority of senators found Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona breached the constitution by not declaring assets worth $2.4m (£1.53m) in foreign currency accounts. His trial is central to anti-corruption efforts by President Benigno Aquino. Corona had argued the offence was not serious enough to warrant impeachment. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-18249759

About Intercultural Resources
Intercultural Resources is a forum for research and political intervention on issues related to the impacts and alternatives to destructive development. Our effort draws upon the social, cultural, material and intellectual resources that have been generated in the course of dialogues between people of different cultures on questions of social justice, development and self-rule.
We are of the view that dialogue can sustain plurality and open possibilities for recovery of the ground lost on account of inter-cultural alienation, which is manifest in a variety of forms of violence that we encounter everyday at different levels of social life.
Intercultural Resources is based in Delhi, India.
