Clinton Library returned copies of these documents to the originating and/or equity agencies for a classification review.

Pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 2208(a), NARA will release the records 60 working days from the date of this letter, which is September 18, 2015, unless the former or incumbent President requests a one-time extension of an additional 30 working days or asserts a constitutionally based privilege, in accordance with 44 U.S.C. 2208(b)-(d).

Law School Student Scholarship. 20. https://scholarship.shu.edu/student_scholarship/20 A PROBLEM OF MIXED MOTIVES: THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT IN SYRIA Husain A. Gatlin1 INTRODUCTION Diplomatic measures have repeatedly failed to prevent sovereign States from committing genocide or systematic killings, at a time when intervention is needed the most. At the same time, decisive military intervention has proven effective in curtailing the escalation of crimes against humanity. Throughout the world, from Cambodia to Bosnia to Libya, the international community has intervened with military force to prevent and respond to mass atrocities against civilians. Thus, the legitimacy of military action to address humanitarian crises remains an integral part of the discourse for the international community.2 In Syria, massive human rights violations have been committed and continue as President Bashar al-Assad uses state-sponsored military action to murder protestors and opposition forces alike. Under the Responsibility to Protect (“R2P”), the international community formally accepted its responsibility to protect populations from genocide, mass killings, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. Military action based on the R2P principle is an operative solution for the United Nations and its Member States to honor their duty to prevent and to protect Syrian citizens who are presently under attack by the Assad regime.

  • Obama's Weak and Failing States Agenda
    Michael O’Hanlon Obama’s Weak and Failing States Agenda Barack Obama has been a disciplined, pragmatic, and effective president on the urgent national security challenges of the day. His record is generally solid on matters such as managing the nation’s major wars, pressuring rogue states, rebalancing the U.S. national security focus toward East Asia, and carrying out the reset policy with Russia. On balance, I would personally rate his foreign policy record through most of his first term as much better than average, with perhaps only George H.W. Bush having done clearly better at this stage among all presidents of the last half century. But those glowing words aside, Obama has had difficulty measuring up to the standards he set for himself on the big visions and transformational issues of the dayÑsubjects ranging from addressing global warming and climate change to bridging the divide with the Muslim world to moving toward a nuclear-free planet (what might be called the Prague Agenda, named for the site of Obama’s big speech on the subject in 2009).1 Leaving aside the top-tier security issues of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and now Syria that merit their own attention (and generally receive it), he has also had considerable trouble with the chronic problems of weak, failing, or otherwise challenged states. This article briefly summarizes his record toward five disparate but important countries facing internal conflicts of one type or anotherÑthe African states of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Somalia, and Sudan, as well as the Latin American states of Colombia and Mexico.

    AP PHOTO/MAJDI MOHAMMED PHOTO/MAJDI AP A Practical Plan on the Israeli-Palestinian Front By Mara Rudman and Brian Katulis December 2016 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG A Practical Plan on the Israeli-Palestinian Front By Mara Rudman and Brian Katulis December 2016 Contents 1 Introduction and summary 5 Making a deal: Analyzing the current context 11 Game plan to make a deal: Building blocks for progress 16 Conclusion 17 About the authors 19 Endnotes Introduction and summary The incoming U.S. administration has an opportunity to increase stability and advance U.S. security interests in the Middle East by outlining a framework for Israelis and Palestinians to make independent, coordinated, and constructive steps toward a two-state solution. This solution would support a safe and secure Israel and a sustainable, contiguous, and sovereign Palestine. At a time when the broader region continues to experience threats from civil wars, state fragmenta- tion, and terrorist networks, the Israeli-Palestinian front is one area where the incoming administration can build on decades of investments to help enhance security and construct lasting institutions to achieve a sustainable resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. President-elect Donald Trump has declared that he wants “to be the one that made peace with Israel and the Palestinians.”1 Direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians are unworkable right now, but Trump can move toward this goal if he starts to lay the groundwork with five key steps: 1. Outline a vision that includes a nonmilitarized Palestine and a territorial point framed as 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps.

    A14 EZ RE the washington post . wednesday, april 14, 2021 EZ RE A15 ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT WE STAND FOR DEMOCRACY. A Government of the people, by the people. A beautifully American ideal, but a reality denied to many for much of this nation’s history. As Americans, we know that in our democracy we should not expect to agree on everything. However, regardless of our political affiliations, we believe the very foundation of our electoral process rests upon the ability of each of us to cast our ballots for the candidates of our choice. For American democracy to work for any of us, we must ensure the right to vote for all of us. We all should feel a responsibility to defend the right to vote and to oppose any discriminatory legislation or measures that restrict or prevent any eligible voter from having an equal and fair opportunity to cast a ballot. Voting is the lifeblood of our democracy and we call upon all Americans to join us in taking a nonpartisan stand for this most basic and fundamental right of all Americans.

  • Circle of Fire
    CIRCLE OF FIRE To: Brigadier General Kathryn A. Malone Firing Officer, Circle of Fire There is an immediate need to inform all Members of the Grand Council of Gnostics of the current Circle of Fire Invocations of Testimony – the full list – and to update the Grand Council of Gnostics of the Priority Lists once the following has been implemented. There is an immediate need to establish the Wish Lists for Fire Teams as can be accommodated. Time Zones, work schedules and personal obligations must be considered. Please advise me via open email of your preferences. There is an immediate need to establish which Invocations of Testimony are to be applied by the respective Fire Team. As a suggestion, limit Invocations of Testimony lists to not more than ten lines for the time being, with the five below being the Priority for all Blasts. There will be a future need of documentation of our Invocations of Testimony and results obtained. Date each invocation, regardless of repeats, and make dated notes of handprint results, if possible, on the same sheet. Do not concern that the Monitors on Government Payroll will know both the Invocation content prior to Circle, or successes: we're sending our warnings to them too. There is another Advertising/Publicity Campaign being prepared by AuthorHouse for the AED inclusive of videos and 1,000,000 support emails. This should be accomplished before the 1st of November with all editing and corrections, and released during the First Week thereafter – in time for the Christmas season. Support for the success of this Campaign is critical.
