The vote comes amid controversy over an Indian decision demanding a $2,500 (KD 730) bank guarantee from those wanting to employ Indian domestic helpers. The head of the residency and passports department Maj Gen Mazen Al-Jarrah Al-Sabah was quoted as saying yesterday that Kuwait may consider halting recruitment of manpower from India in retaliation for the Indian bank guarantee move. The Indian decision infuriated a number of MPs who blasted the Indian embassy and called for retaliatory actions against New Delhi, including halting recruitment of manpower from India.

    CONTRIBUTING TO MITIGATE A SHELTER CRISIS Global Shelter Coalition Final Donors Report UNHCR, a mandate to protect A heartfelt thank you from the Deputy High Commissioner The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is the Thank you most sincerely for supporting the “Nobody Left Outside” campaign only humanitarian agency mandated by the United Nations to lead to provide shelter solutions to refugees. We appreciate your commitment together and coordinate international action for the worldwide protection of with other philanthropists and companies from all over the world to support refugees and the resolution of refugee problems. Since our creation in UNHCR’s shelter strategies. 1951, UNHCR has enabled more than 60 million people to rebuild their lives and has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize twice for this work. Shelter is protection, safety, a basic human right and a core component of UNHCR’s protection mandate. Unfortunately, shelter is also one of our most underfunded activities. www.unhcr.org/nobody-left-outside Since the launch of the Nobody Left Outside campaign three years ago, $25 million have been raised in support of shelter. Without the funds you have so generously donated, delivering sustainable shelter solutions that pave the way for the social inclusion and self-reliance of millions of refugees would have been even more challenging. The number of people of concern to UNHCR around the world – asylum-seekers, refugees, returnees, the internally displaced and stateless – has reached 74.8 million people, more than ever before. Thousands of people continue to flee their homes in search of protection, arriving in remote border communities around the world or in sprawling cities with limited shelter options, often joining refugee communities already uprooted by earlier waves of conflict or persecution.

  • Governance Relationships in Football Between Management and Labour Roitman - Governance Relationships Marston, C
    Building on the two prior CIES governance studies, this is the third FIFA-mandated research analysing governance relationships in football. This book focuses on those Editions CIES between football’s employers (clubs, leagues and even NAs) and its labour force. Based on a sample of forty countries across all six confederations and questionnaires from players’ associations, leagues and national associations, this research surveys and compares the diverse ‘management-labour’ approaches and scenarios in both men and women’s professional football worldwide. GOVERNANCE RELATIONSHIPS The authors place a special focus on players’ associations and highlight the variety of IN FOOTBALL BETWEEN structures found world-wide. The findings here contribute to a better understanding MANAGEMENT AND LABOUR of the systems, models and relationships in place around the globe when it comes to PLAYERS, CLUBS, LEAGUES & NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS ‘management’ and ‘labour’. This book explores the representation of Kevin Tallec Marston, Camille Boillat & Fernando Roitman players within decision-making structures at club, league and national association level as well as the regulatory contexts and negotiation instruments linking players and management - such as collaborative agreements/MoUs, CBAs, minimum contract requirements and dispute resolution. In addition, this study provides a first ever global exploration of some of the inner workings of players’ associations and an overview of the key issues in professional football from the player’s perspective. The final chapter offers several models and frameworks illustrating the governance relationships between players and management. All three authors work at the International Centre for Sport Studies (CIES). Kevin Tallec Marston earned his PhD in history and works as research fellow and academic projects manager.
