The reserved code elements have different statuses with regard to restrictions on use within ISO's country code system. Some may be used - others must not be used. These statuses - and their approximate meanings for the user of ISO 3166-1 - are described and colour-coded in Table 1. Tables 2 gives a colour coded, clickable matrix of all ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code elements which is linked to Table 3 which gives the definition of the code element.

  • Freedom in the Americas Today
    www.freedomhouse.org Freedom in the Americas Today This series of charts and graphs tracks freedoms trajectory in the Americas over the past thirty years. The source for the material in subsequent pages is two global surveys published annually by Freedom House: Freedom in the World and Freedom of the Press. Freedom in the World has assessed the condition of world freedom since 1972, providing separate numerical scores for each countrys degree of political rights and civil liberties as well as designating countries as free, partly free, and not free. Freedom of the Press assesses the level of media freedom in each country in the world and designates countries as free, partly free, and not free. The graphs and charts in this package tell a story that is both encouraging and a source of concern. When Freedom House launched its global index of political rights and civil liberties, freedom was on the defensive throughout much of the Americas. Juntas, military councils, and strongmen held the reins of power throughout much of south and Central America. At various times dictatorships prevailed in such key countries as Brazil, Argentina, Peru, and Chile, as well as in every country of Central America except Costa Rica. Latin America was not alone in the grim picture it presented as democracy was by and large restricted to the countries of Western Europe and North America. Conditions in the Americas were strongly influenced by the Cold War. Marxist insurgencies, often employing kidnappings, assassinations, and terrorism, had emerged in a number of countries; military governments responded with extreme brutality, including the use of paramilitary death squads.

  • Is the Turkish Cypriot Population Shrinking?
    CYPRUS CENTRE 2/2007 REPORT 2/2007 Is the Turkish Cypriot Population Shrinking? Shrinking? Cypriot Population Turkish Is the The demography of north Cyprus is one of the most contested issues related to the island’s division. In particular, the number of indigenous Turkish Cypriots and Turkish immigrants living in the north has long been a source of dispute, not only among the island’s diplomats and politicians but also among researchers and activists. Until recently, the political use of demog- raphy has hindered comprehensive study of the ethno-demographic make-up of the north, while at the same time making a thorough demographic study all the more imperative. The present report addresses this situation by providing an analysis of the results of the 2006 census of north Cyprus, comparing these fi gures with the results of the previous census. The report focuses mainly on identifying the percentage of the population of north Cyprus who are of Turkish-mainland origin and also possess Turkish Cypriot citizenship – an important factor given claims that such citizens play an signifi cant role in elections in the north. In addi- tion, the report examines the arrival dates of Turkish nationals in order to analyze patterns of migration. This, in turn, is indicative of the numbers of naturalized Turkish Cypriot citizens who have arrived in Cyprus as part of an offi cial policy. The report also presents estimates for Turkish Cypriot emigration to third countries, based on immigration and census fi gures from the two main host countries: the United Kingdom and Australia. Following analysis of these latter fi gures and the results of the 2006 census, it is argued that claims of massive emigration by Turkish Cypriots to third countries are largely misleading.

  • The New Energy Triangle of Cyprus-Greece-Israel: Casting a Net for Turkey?
    THE NEW ENERGY TRIANGLE OF CYPRUS-GREECE-ISRAEL: CASTING A NET FOR TURKEY? A long-running speculation over massive natural gas reserves in the tumultuous area of the Southeastern Mediterranean became a reality in December 2011 and the discovery's timing along with other grave and interwoven events in the region came to create a veritable tinderbox. The classic “Rubik's cube” puzzle here is in perfect sync with the realities on the ground and how this “New Energy Triangle” (NET) of newfound and traditional allies' actions (Cyprus, Greece and Israel) towards Turkey will shape and inevitably affect the new balance of power in this crucial part of the world. George Stavris* *George Stavris is a visiting researcher at Dundee University's Centre for Energy, Petroleum and Mineral Law and Policy working on the geostrategic repercussions in the region of the “New Energy Alliance” (NET) of Cyprus, Greece and Israel. 87 VOLUME 11 NUMBER 2 GEORGE STAVRIS long-running speculation over massive natural gas reserves in the tumultuous area of the Southeastern Mediterranean and in Cyprus’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) became a reality in A December 2011 when official reports of the research and scoping were released. Nearby, Israel has already confirmed its own reserves right next to Cyprus’ EEZ. However the location of Cypriot reserves with all the intricacies of the intractable “Cyprus Problem” and the discovery’s timing along with other grave and interwoven events in the region came to create a veritable tinderbox. A rare combination of the above factors and ensuing complications have created not just a storm in the area but almost, indisputably, the rare occasion of a “Perfect Storm” in international politics with turbulence reaching far beyond the shores of the Mediterranean “Lake”.
