Tel est le titre d’un article du site Médiapart sur le voyage du couple présidentiel au Mexique. Après l’affaire du yacht de Vincent Bolloré, les vacances américaines à Wolfeboro ou encore leurs vacances de Noël au Brésil, Médiapart souligne que “le président de la République vient de s’offrir une escapade dans un des endroits de rêve de la côte pacifique (...) pas à la portée de toutes les bourses”.

1. Une visite trop “bling-bling” en temps de crise?

Depuis vendredi, avant de rencontrer dimanche le président mexicain pour discuter notamment du sort de Florence Cassez, Nicolas et Carla Sarkozy se sont en effet accordés un séjour privé de deux jours au Mexique dans un complexe luxueux proche du port de pêche de Manzanillo, au sud. Au menu: “plage privée protégée par la marine mexicaine et bungalows luxueux au coeur d’une réserve naturelle”, précise RTL.be. (más)

Officiellement, le sujet ne figure pas à l’agenda, et la relation entre les deux pays est censée être “sans nuage”. Pourtant, le voyage au Mexique du président Nicolas Sarkozy et de son épouse, Carla Bruni – d’abord dans un cadre privé, du 6 au 8 mars, puis avec tout le faste d’une visite d’Etat, le lundi 9 mars -, sera marqué par les ombres et les lumières de l’affaire Florence Cassez.

Omnibus Budget Would Stop Cross-Border Trucking Pilot Program

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/—Teamsters General President Jim
Hoffa applauded the House Democratic leadership for including a ban on unsafe
Mexican trucks in the omnibus appropriations bill unveiled today.

Though Congress shut down the Bush administration’s pilot program to open the
border in the 2008 appropriations, the Bush administration ignored the ban,
which expired at the end of the fiscal year.

“Shutting down the border is the right thing to do,” Hoffa said. “There’s no
guarantee that trucks or drivers from Mexico are safe. Until there is,
dangerous Mexican trucks should not be allowed to drive freely on our
highways.” (más)

Request for Interpretation of the Judgment of 31 March 2004 in the Case concerning
Avena and Other Mexican Nationals (Mexico v. United States of America)
(Mexico v. United States of America)

THE HAGUE, 19 January 2009. The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, today rendered its Judgment in the case concerning the Request for Interpretation of the Judgment of 31 March 2004 in the Case concerning Avena and Other Mexican Nationals (Mexico v. United States of America) (Mexico v. United States of America).
In its Application of 5 June 2008, Mexico asked the Court to interpret paragraph 153 (9) of the Avena Judgment. That paragraph reads as follows:
“153. For these reasons,
TheCourt . . .
(9) By fourteen votes to one,
Finds that the appropriate reparation in this case consists in the obligation of the United States of America to provide, by means of its own choosing, review and reconsideration of the convictions and sentences of the Mexican nationals referred to in subparagraphs (4), (5), (6) and (7) above, by taking account both of the violation of the rights set forth in Article 36 of the [Vienna] Convention [on Consular Relations] and of paragraphs 138 to 141 of [the present] Judgment.”
In the Judgment rendered today, which is final, binding and without appeal, the Court,
“(1) By eleven votes to one,
Finds that the matters claimed by the United Mexican States to be in issue between the Parties, requiring an interpretation under Article 60 of the Statute, are not matters which have been decided by the Court in its Judgment of 31 March 2004 in the case concerning Avena and Other Mexican Nationals (Mexico v. United States of America), including paragraph 153 (9), and thus cannot give rise to the interpretation requested by the United Mexican States;

(2) Unanimously,
Finds that the United States of America has breached the obligation incumbent upon it under the Order indicating provisional measures of 16 July 2008, in the case of Mr. José Ernesto Medellín Rojas;
(3) By eleven votes to one,
Reaffirms the continuing binding character of the obligations of the United States of America under paragraph 153 (9) of the Avena Judgment and takes note of the undertakings given by the United States of America in these proceedings;
(4) By eleven votes to one,
Declines, in these circumstances, the request of the United Mexican States for the Court to order the United States of America to provide guarantees of non-repetition;
(5) By eleven votes to one,
Rejects all further submissions of the United Mexican States.” (more)

Suena lógico que el nombre de dominio carlosslimhelu.com sea propiedad de Carlos Slim, ¿verdad?; pues sucede que en realidad pertenecía a Ahmad Rusli (originario de Indonesia), que por cierto tenia la intención de vendérselo al magnate por la nada despreciable cantidad de 55 millones de dolares (¿?).

El nombre de dominio oficial que Carlos Slim utiliza desde hace algún tiempo es CarlosSlim.com, es decir; su nombre sin el apellido materno Helú.

Al parecer el asunto se torno en demanda allá por el mes de noviembre del 2008 cuando Ahmad redireccionó el dominio a un sitio con contenido para adultos, ésto con la idea de atraer la atención del señor Slim y asi obligar la negociación. Suena un poco a violento, ¿no?

Al final la Organización Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual (OMPI) dictaminó el 5 de enero de 2009 que el caso D2008-1767 entre el demandante Inmobiliaria Carso S.A. de C.V. y el demandado RusliCyber.com-Trisakti University (Mr. Ahmad Rusli) lo siguiente:

el demandado cede el control del nombre de dominio al demandante
