Box 2100, 1211 Geneva 2, Switzerland - TEL: +41 22 791 6033 - FAX: +41 22 791 6506 www.actalliance.org Appeal Mauritania Support to People Affected by Drought in Mauritania and Senegal and to the Malian Refugees in southern Mauritania-MRT121 Appeal Target: US$ 3,039,387 Balance Requested: US$ 2,711,036 Geneva, 6 March 2012 Dear Colleagues, Mauritania and the neighbouring countries (mainly Mali and Senegal) have been affected by the ongoing Sahel food crisis characterised by food insecurity and malnutrition due to drought and other underlying factors in the region. It has been projected that 800,000 people in Mauritania, will need humanitarian assistance in 2012. In addition to the drought situation, the ongoing armed conflict in Northern Mali has forced thousands of Malians to cross the border to Mauritania. The drought and conflict have negatively impacted the entire Sahel Region resulting to hunger, malnutrition, displacement of people, destruction of local economies/livelihoods, pressure on limited existing food and water resources, increase of insecurity and violence. ACT member, LWF/DWS will respond to the drought situation in Mauritania, Fatick region of Senegal and provide assistance to the Malian refugees in Mauritania by working through local partners. The local partners include: ARDM, AU SECOURS and BSF in Mauritania, and Lutheran Church in Senegal (ELS) in Senegal’s Fatick region. This appeal will supplement the Mauritania government’s emergency response plan called ‘’EMEL’’ (hope). The project target is 8,653 households including: 4,206 drought affected households from Mauritania, 1,447 drought affected Households in Senegal and 3,000 Malian Refugees’ Households.

  • Notification to the Parties No. 2012/036
    CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA NOTIFICATION TO THE PARTIES No. 2012/036 Geneva, 18 April 2012 CONCERNING: National laws for implementation of the Convention 1. Article VIII, paragraph 1, of the Convention requires each Party to take appropriate measures to enforce the provisions of the Convention and to prohibit trade in violation thereof. 2. Resolution Conf. 8.4 (Rev. CoP15) on National laws for implementation of the Convention was initially adopted in 1992. It establishes the basis for a CITES National Legislation Project aimed at providing legislative assistance to Parties and preparing analyses of their legislation in relation to four requirements (see document CoP12 Doc. 28 at http://www.cites.org/eng/cop/12/doc/E12-28.pdf for a detailed explanation of the requirements). Legislative analyses conducted under the National Legislation Project determine which of the following categories the legislation of each Party and dependent territory should be placed in: – Category 1: legislation that is believed generally to meet the requirements for implementation of CITES; – Category 2: legislation that is believed generally not to meet all of the requirements for the implementation of CITES; or – Category 3: legislation that is believed generally not to meet the requirements for the implementation of CITES. 3. In Resolution Conf. 8.4 (Rev. CoP15), the Conference of the Parties instructs the Standing Committee: to determine which Parties have not adopted appropriate measures for effective implementation of the Convention and to consider appropriate compliance measures, which may include recommendations to suspend trade, in accordance with Resolution Conf.

  • Situations Referred to the International Criminal Court by the United
    Pécs Journal of International and European Law - 2016/II Situations Referred to the International Criminal Court by the United Nations Security Council – “ad hoc Tribunalisation” of the Court and its Dangers Tamás Lattmann Senior researcher at the Institute of International Relations (Prague); associate professor at the National University of Public Service (Budapest) The study examines the possibility created by the Rome Statute, the founding and governing document of the International Criminal Court, according to which the United Nations Security Council has the option to refer situations to the court by a legally binding resolution acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter. This is possible, regardless of the fact that the state concerned is a party to the Statue or not. According to the author’s conclusion – although only limited number of such situations could yet be examined – this legal possibility is currently far from being a success story. It is still important to emphasize that while it can be a really useful tool from the perspective of international politics, it may poses a serious threat to the future of the court. Keywords: International Criminal Court, ICC, United Nations, Security Council, referral, complementarity, ad hoc tribunal, Chapter VII, Sudan, Darfur, Bashir, Libya, Gaddafi, immunity. Different types of international criminal judicial fora have appeared and become active during the last 25 years. The examination of those and their relationship to states – the classic subjects of international law

Exchange of views on the existing political situation and reform process in Mauritania As Mr Sean Doyle was not available Mr Vincent Ringenberg, Desk Officer for Mauritania, the European External Action Service (EEAS), gave information about the current political and security situation in Mauritania and EU cooperation with Mauritania. He mentioned that after many years of instability and repeated coup d'états the political situation in Mauritania seems to be gradually settling down. However, the situation still continues to be fragile due to unsettled issues, particularly regarding the National Inclusive Dialogue indicated in the 2009 Dakar Agreement. 28 months after the Agreement, the dialogue finally took place in September and October 2011. While the major opposition parties boycotted the Dialogue, only two opposition parties joined the dialogue discussions. PV\886477EN.doc PE471.549v01-00 EN United in diversity EN One of the important positive points coming out of the Dialogue, is to set up a standing national independent election committee (CENI), which will be made up of 7 people on whom both the majority and the opposition would agree.
