[听透VOA听力词汇]政治军事部分-Item1
The World Economic Forum has been meeting annually in Davos, Switzerland, since 1970. Only one other annual general meeting has been held outside Davos, when the group met in New York in a show of solidarity after the terrorist attacks of 2001. While so many of the world's political and business leaders are here to discuss the economic future of Iraq, the human rights group Amnesty International is trying to make sure they do not forget about the humanitarian situation in the country. Amnesty has launched a new report on the eve of the forum, urging respect for human rights during the rebuilding of Iraq.
