DESA’s structure was reorganized most recently during the 1997 reform package that included a number of changes to the Secretariat structure. DESA provides support in the General Assembly and in the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), its functional commissions and expert bodies on development issues. As of 2015, DESA is comprised of the following divisions: Population; Social Policy and Development; Public Administration and Development Management; Statistics; Financing for Development; United Nations Forum on Forests; Development Policy and Analysis; ECOSOC Support and Co-ordination; and Capacity Development Office. The mission of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) is to “promote development for all,” with a focus on economic, social and environmental challenges. There are numerous predecessor organizations that have contributed to DESA's mission, including the Department of Economic Affairs (1946-1954); Department of Social Affairs (1946-1954); Technical Assistance Administration (TAA) (1950-1958); United Nations Office of Interagency Affairs and Coordination (IAAC) (1969-1977); Development and International Economic Cooperation (DIESA) (1978-1991); the Office of the Director-General for Development and International Economic Co-operation (1978-1991); Department of Technical Co-operation for Development (DTCD) (1978-1991); Department of Economic and Social Development (1992); Department for Policy Coordination and Sustainable Development (1992-1996); Department for Economic and Social Information and Policy Analysis (1993-1996); Department for Development Support and Management Services (1993-1996).

  • Morocco in the Early Atlantic World, 1415-1603 A
    MOROCCO IN THE EARLY ATLANTIC WORLD, 1415-1603 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Earnest W. Porta, Jr., J.D. Washington, DC June 20, 2018 Copyright 2018 by Earnest W. Porta, Jr. All Rights Reserved ii MOROCCO IN THE EARLY ATLANTIC WORLD, 1415-1603 Earnest W. Porta, Jr., J.D. Dissertation Advisor: Osama Abi-Mershed, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Over the last several decades, a growing number of historians have conceptualized the Atlantic world as an explanatory analytical framework, useful for studying processes of interaction and exchange. Stretching temporally from the 15th into the 19th century, the Atlantic world framework encompasses more than simply the history of four continents that happen to be geographically situated around what we now recognize as the Atlantic basin. It offers instead a means for examining and understanding the transformative impacts that arose from the interaction of European, African, and American cultures following the European transatlantic voyages of the 15th and 16th centuries. Though it has not been extensively studied from this perspective, during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries Morocco possessed geopolitical characteristics that uniquely situated it within not only the Islamic world, but the developing Atlantic world as well. This study considers Morocco’s involvement in the early Atlantic world by examining three specific phases of its involvement. The first phase lasts approximately one hundred years and begins with the Portuguese invasion of Ceuta in 1415, considered by some to mark the beginning of European overseas expansion.

    Articles Section 67 GIBRALTAR: SOVEREIGNTY DISPUTES AND TERRITORIAL WATERS Gerry O’Reilly INTRODUCTION Ostensibly, friction between Spain and the UK since 1997, relates to the non-respect by Spanish fishing vessels of the territorial waters of the Crown Colony of Gibraltar (CCG), actions taken by the British authorities to counteract this and the obstructionist policies of the Spanish in relation to border crossings between Spain and Gibraltar. Whether fish-related issues or the issuance of Gibraltarian identity cards, the Gibraltarian and Spanish authorities try to counteract any act which could be interpreted in the international community as furthering the sovereignty claims of “the Gibraltarian the UK, Spain or indirectly, the Gibraltarians. As in the past the essence of the and Spanish problem remains that Spain contests the UK's sovereignty over the entire CCG and authorities try to especially British jurisdiction over part of the isthmus joining it to Spain with the counteract any act airport constructed on it, and consequently does not accept that the CCG has a right which could be to any territorial waters.1 interpreted…as furthering sovereignty Paris claims…” 45° N FRANCE Genoa Marseille ITALY TToulonoulon Rome Porto ° 40° N Naples Barcelona Madrid Lisbon SPAIN Palermo MEDITERRANEAN SEA Seville Bizerte Malaga Cadiz Algiers Tunis 35° N See Inset Annaba MALMALTATA TetouanTetouan Oran TUNISIA Rabat Melilla ALGERIA MOROCCO 10° W 5 ° W0° 5 ° E 10° E15E 15° E Figure 1: Gibraltar and San Roque Los Barrios La Linea the Western Cape Trafalgar

  • «..The Historical Importance of a Nation Is Due to Its Ancestral Urban Vestiges, Intellectual Products, Scientific Inventions and Civilizational Achievements
    «..the historical importance of a nation is due to its ancestral urban vestiges, intellectual products, scientific inventions and civilizational achievements. Just as we believe that men, wherever they may be, made some contribution or other in the edification and consolidation of universal culture, We also believe that the maturity of a nation is judged by its awareness of the importance of its heritage and the interest it shows in protecting and renovating it... » Extract of the message of His Majesty King Mohammed VI to the participants in the 23rd Session of the World Heritage Committee, on Monday 29 November 1999 in Marrakech. PREAMBLE Morocco has large seaboards on both the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. These seaboards extend over about 3500 km, and are marked with 39 lighthouses devoted to maritime navigation aid, especially in coastal areas, and most of which are still operational. Morocco started installing modern lighthouses of its coasts since the second half of the 19th century, as the Cape Spartel lighthouse, first of its kind, was started operating on 15 October 1864, upon the order of Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben Abderrahmane. The lighthouses bear witness to an era of history and crystallize architectural diversity, according to the period when they were built, and the sites that accommodate them. This national heritage reflects several facets which deserve to be explored by the experts, specialists and amateurs, as they constitute a rich information source up to now unknown. Apart from a restricted number of initiated individuals, the lighthouses of Morocco in general are not sufficiently known among the general public.

In spite of my shortcomings, he has always been a calm, gentle and wise guide, incentivizing me to pursue my interests, to keep my curiosity alive and to enjoy life. I also express my gratitude to all of the members of the examination board, Professors Marcus Faro, Inez Lopes, João Roriz and Paula Almeida, who have promptly answered my invitation and who have, on very short notice, examined my writing. I would like to thank my work colleagues, who have helped me during the final months of writing. Whenever I needed some time to concentrate or to put my thoughts in order, never did I hear a complaint, but always words of encouragement.

There is something altogether unique about the town, something impalpable, indefinable – a sense of freedom that hangs in the air like the scent of orange blossom.
