  • Keeping Political and Criminal Responsibility Separate
    Declassified AS/Jur (2012) 28 declassified 25 September 2012 ajdoc28 2012 declassified Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights Keeping political and criminal responsibility separate Information memorandum on the case of Geir Haarde, former Prime ∗∗∗ Minister of Iceland Rapporteur: Pieter Omtzigt, Netherlands, Group of the European People’s Party 1. Introduction 1. As indicated in the Introductory Memorandum, 1 the case of former Icelandic Prime Minister Geir Haarde is arguably one of those cases from which lessons can be drawn for keeping political and criminal responsibility separate. 2. My fact-finding visit to Iceland from 6-9 May 2012 was very instructive, and I should like to reiterate my thanks to the Icelandic delegation for its hospitality and the efficient organisation of the visit. As indicated at the Committee meeting on 21 May 2012 in Paris, I should like to present my findings on the Icelandic case in the form of this information memorandum. I will begin by summing up the facts of this case (2.) and presenting the interpretation they have been given by the two sides of the dispute (3.), and conclude by offering my own assessment, in the light of the information and views provided by our legal experts, Professor Satzger from Munich and Professor Verheij from Leiden. 2. Summary of the facts of the case of former Prime Minister Geir Haarde 3. Iceland suffered a severe economic setback in 2008/2009 in the wake of the world-wide banking crisis triggered by the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in the United States. The situation in Iceland was worse than in other countries in that the Icelandic banks in crisis (Landsbanki, Kaupthing and Glitnir) were far larger, in proportion to the country’s GDP, than those elsewhere, 2 during the same world-wide financial crisis.

  • Comparing the Financial Crises in Iceland and Ireland
    Financial crises in Iceland and Ireland: Does EU and Euro membership matter? This working paper by Prof Baldur Thorhallsson and Prof Peadar Kirby is being published by TASC in Dublin and by the Centre for Small State Studies at the University of Iceland in Reykjavik. Financial Crises in Iceland and Ireland | November 2011 Financial crises in Iceland and Ireland: Does EU and Euro membership matter? Baldur Thorhallsson and Peadar Kirby1 Introduction The collapse of the banking systems in Iceland and Ireland in 2008, the impacts on economy and society of this collapse, and the measures taken by the political authorities in each country to deal with the crises, have all been the subject of extensive commentary (see for example, Krugman (2009, 2010) and O’Brien (2011c)). Yet little attention has been devoted to the role that membership of the European Union (EU) and of the Euro played in the case of Ireland, contrasted with Iceland which is a member of neither. This is the purpose of this report. It begins by situating the study in the political science literature on small states, framing it as testing the claim in this literature that small states prosper better by being members of multilateral organizations that provide them with a shelter, particularly valuable at a time of economic and political crisis. The report then examines the Irish and Icelandic cases under three headings – their respective economic booms before the crises, the trajectory of the crisis in each country, and the role of EU membership and of the Euro in the Irish case compared with its absence in the case of Iceland.

While meaningful milestones have been achieved for women’s leadership and participation at all levels of peacebuilding and conflict resolution processes, overall improvement remains stagnant and inequalities have worsened due to the onslaught of COVID-19.

  • Iceland 2016-2017
    2016-2017 Marking 25 years of building collaboration and trust ICELAND ICELAND Area: 103,000 km² Capital: Reykjavík Population: 334,252 (2016) World Bank 4 Equality In 1980 Iceland became the first country in the world to democratically and directly elect a female president – Madame Vigdís Finnbogadóttir. President Finnbogadóttir served until 1996. Iceland takes the top spot for the eighth consecutive year in the World Economic Forum Global Gender Gap Index, closing more than 87% of its overall gender gap. It remains the top performer on Political Empowerment and in the top ten in Economic Participation and Opportunity on the back of solid improvements in the number of women among legislators, senior officials and managers. Iceland was the first country in the world to adopt a law on equal pay certification for both public entities and private firms, aiming to ensure equal pay for work of equal value. The legislation was passed in Alþingi on 1 June 2017 and will come into effect on 1 January 2018. It will be implemented in stages so that by the end of 2021 all companies with 25 employees or more will have to have their equal pay systems certified by an independent auditor. Iceland has developed a Barbershop Toolbox to enable others to mobilise men and their peers in the fight for gender equality. The Toolbox is part of Iceland’s commitments to the United Nations HeForShe movement and can be accessed on the Icelandic Ministry of Foreign Affairs website. Democracy Children 5 Iceland is generally held to have the oldest Parliament, starting in 930.
