I consider it particularly important to visit centres of learning and to interact with those associated with such institutions. These are the places where ideas germinate and where the thought process is disciplined to make creative energies productive. The content and direction of progress in a country is largely determined by the quality of its educational institutions. Your university is renowned not only as one of the oldest and largest centres of higher learning in Bangladesh. It is noted for its high quality research and academic programmes in technology and engineering. It, therefore, gives me great pleasure to be with you here today. Later this week, Bangladesh will mark forty-five years of its independence. Over this time, your country has taken significant strides in advancing progress for its people. Bangladesh also has a worthy record as a responsible global citizen. It is one of the largest contributors to the United Nations peacekeeping operations. By subscribing to all major disarmament treaties, Bangladesh participates in the endeavour to make our world a place safe from weapons of mass destruction. Your country is an original signatory to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), a landmark international treaty that bans an entire class of weapons of mass destruction under international verification.

  • Conference on Disarmament Statement by Ambassador
    ORGANISATION FOR THE PROHIBITION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS Please check against delivery CONFERENCE ON DISARMAMENT STATEMENT BY AMBASSADOR AHMET ÜZÜMCÜ DIRECTOR-GENERAL ORGANISATION FOR THE PROHIBITION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS GENEVA 5 September 2017 Mr. President, Mr Secretary General, Please accept my felicitations on your assumption of the Presidency of the Conference on Disarmament. The Conference is assured of able leadership as you bring to this position a wealth of knowledge, experience and diplomatic skills. I wish you every success. I am delighted and indeed honoured to address the CD. This forum embodies the spirit of an era of resolve to banish war in favour of peace – peace based on a durable foundation of international cooperation, development and the rejection of the tools of war that are regarded as illegitimate. The twentieth century witnessed the trauma of two world wars within a span of a few decades that brought ruin on a scale never seen before in human history. Technology magnified the destructive power of weapons in ways not thought possible. These harrowing experiences united the entire world community in an aspiration to live together in harmony. A community of nations traumatised by extreme and pervasive violence found it possible to reignite the lost glow and warmth of shared values and norms as a basis for inter-state relations. Ironically, just as people were constructing a new beginning, the nuclear age was dawning. The destruction seen as a result of years of warfare could now happen in a matter of minutes. A well-thought out and systematic pursuit of disarmament eventually took shape of which the CD is a salient manifestation.

  • Red Line Redux: How Putin Tore up Obama's 2013 Syria Deal
    REPORT WORLD Red Line Redux: How Putin Tore Up Obama’s 2013 Syria Deal FEBRUARY 3, 2017 — ARON LUND PAGE 1 The so-called “red line” episode in September 2013, when, in a last-minute decision,P resident Barack Obama called off U.S. air strikes in Syria,1 has continued to shape his legacy. Instead of striking the Syrian government in retaliation for a nerve gas attack near Damascus, Obama took Russian President Vladimir Putin up on an offer to peacefully dismantle the Syrian chemical weapons program and craft a United Nations resolution2 to make sure no gas attacks ever occurred in Syria again. Alternately described as one of the former president’s greatest successes or as one of his worst failures, what remains of Obama’s red line deal is now under attack. After a UN-appointed panel determined that Syrian President Bashar al- Assad’s forces are still using poison gas, albeit at a much more limited scale than before, Putin refused to abide by the September 2013 deal, which promised joint U.S.-Russian efforts in the United Nations to punish all violators. As newly inaugurated president Donald J. Trump takes the reins of U.S. Syria policy, he will have to decide whether to pursue Western efforts to hold Assad accountable and force Putin to uphold his end of the deal, at the risk of exhausting conflicts; or whether he should let Putin have his way and try to extract the United States from its entanglements in Syria. His choices, and Putin’s, will have important consequences not only for Syria but also for Russian-American relations and for global norms against the use of chemical weapons.

  • Solar Challenger
    Solar Challenger Future starts now Tim van Leeuwen & Jesper Haverkamp V6 Hermann Wesselink College Advisor: F. Hidden March 2010 Abstract Main goal of this project was to make calculations and respective designs to create an electric airplane prototype, capable of powering its flight either entirely or partially using solar 2010 energy. This project intended to stimulate research on renewable energy sources for aviation. - In future solar powered airplanes could be used for different types of aerial monitoring and unmanned flights. First, research was done to investigate properties and requirements of the plane. Then, through a number of sequential steps and with consideration of substantial formulas, the aircraft‟s design was proposed. This included a study on materials, equipment and feasibility. Finding a balance between mass, power, force, strength and costs proved to be particularly difficult. Eventually predictions showed a 50% profit due to the installation of solar cells. The aircraft‟s mass had to be 500 grams at the most, while costs were aimed to be as low as €325. After creating a list of materials and stipulating a series of successive tests, construction itself started. Above all, meeting the aircraft‟s target mass, as well as constructing a meticulously balanced aircraft appeared to be most difficult. Weight needed to be saved on nearly any element. We replaced the battery, rearranged solar cells and adjusted controls. Though setbacks occurred frequently, we eventually met our goals with the aircraft completed whilst Tim van Leeuwen & Jesper Haverkamp Haverkamp Jesper & Leeuwen van Tim weighing in at 487 grams. – Testing commenced with verifying the wings‟ actual lift capacities.

A deliberate release of biological agents whether by terrorist groups or individual perpetrators constitutes an immediate threat to the life and health of the people. Many biological agents can spread infectious diseases or cause illness in humans. In the 21st century, infectious diseases are the second leading cause of death worldwide. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the unsettled problems in the arena of biosecurity and health security. Moreover, the rapid development of biotechnology leads to an increased threat of biological weapons. Therefore, this article articulates how a state can effectively protect the health and life of its citizens from these threats. The main objective of this paper is to encapsulate the perilous weaknesses in existing preparedness for countering biological risks.

  • The 2013 Nobel Peace Prize Lecture Delivered By
    Working Together for a World Free of Chemical Weapons, and Beyond Ahmet Üzümcü Director-General OPCW 2013 Nobel Peace Prize Lecture OPCW Your Majesties, Distinguished members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Excellencies, Ladies and gentlemen, It is with profound humility that I accept this prize on behalf of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, its Member States, their Ambassadors and Secretariat staff, past and present – some of whom are with us today, including my immediate predecessor, Ambassador Rogelio Pfirter. This award recognises our combined efforts. Efforts which flow from the collective spirit of the OPCW in working towards a common good that serves all humanity. I feel deeply privileged to be able to address you on this occasion. I also take this opportunity to honour the memory of Nelson Mandela. He will remain, for all of us and future generations, a beacon for what can be achieved against overwhelming odds to advance peace, dignity and reconciliation. ******************** 1 The Nobel Committee has a long history of honouring achievement in disarmament. Yet, this is the first time that the Peace Prize has been awarded to an organisation that is actively engaged in disarmament as a practical and ongoing reality. For sixteen years now, the OPCW has been overseeing the elimination of an entire category of weapons of mass destruction. Our task is to consign chemical weapons to history, forever. A task we have been carrying out with quiet determination, and no small measure of success. Under the terms of the Chemical Weapons Convention, the OPCW has so far verified the destruction of more than 80% of all declared chemical weapons.

  • Sailplane Aerodynamics at Delft University of Technology
    NVvL 2006 1 Research on sailplane aerodynamics at Delft University of Technology. Recent and present developments. L.M.M. Boermans TU Delft Presented to the Netherlands Association of Aeronautical Engineers (NVvL) on 1 June 2006 Summary The paper consists of two parts. Part one describes the findings of recent aerodynamic developments at Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, and applied in high-performance sailplanes as illustrated by the Advantage, Antares, Stemme S2/S6/S8/S9 family, Mü-31 and Concordia (Chapter 1). The same technology has been applied in the aerodynamic design of the Nuna solar cars as illustrated by the Nuna-3 (Chapter 2). Part two describes results of ongoing research on boundary layer control by suction, a beckoning perspective for significant drag reduction (Chapter 3). 1. Recent research on sailplane aerodynamics 1.1. Introduction The speed polar of a high-performance sailplane, subdivided in contributions to the sink rate of the wing, fuselage and tailplanes, Figure 1, illustrates that the largest contribution is due to the wing; at low speed due to induced drag and at high speed due to profile drag 1 . Figure 1 Contributions to the speed polar of the ASW-27 Hence, improvements have been focused on these contributions, followed by the fuselage and tailplane drag, in particular at high speed. These improvements will be illustrated by examples of various new sailplane designs. It should be pointed out, however, that each new sailplane design incorporates improvements similar to those presented here for the individual sailplanes. NVvL 2006 2 1.2. Induced drag Induced drag has been minimized by optimizing the wing planform with integrated winglets, as illustrated by the wing of the Advantage shown in Figure 2a.

  • The Nobel Peace Prize – Short List for 2013
    Fredrik S. Heffermehl, Oslo, Lawyer and author, Latest title: The Nobel Peace Prize. What Nobel Really Wanted (Praeger, 2010) (published in Chinese, Finnish, Swedish (with Spanish, Russian coming). Phone: +47 917 44 783, email: [email protected], website http://www.nobelwill.org The Nobel peace prize – short list for 2013 (Who are QUALIFIED under the purpose of Nobel, as specified in his 1895 will?) In 2012 the Swedish authorities ordered the Nobel Foundation to respect the purpose described by Alfred Nobel in his will, i.e. to support those working to replace global militarism with global co-operation to realize a global peace system based on global law and disarmament. (For details, see: http://www.nobelwill.org). While Nobel had a plan for global peace and specified the kind of peace work he intended to support, the Norwegian awarders hand the their “Nobels” out in all directions without any idea or vision of how peace must be achieved. Few of the nominees for 2013 are qualified if the awarders would promote the peace vision of Nobel, instead of their own ideas. As documented by Fredrik S. Heffermehl in “The Nobel Peace Prize. What Nobel Really Wanted (Praeger, 2010), Nobel did not use the word “peace prize,“ he dedicated his prize to “the champions of peace,” further specified as “… the one who shall have done the most or the best work to realize the brotherhood of nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies as well as the organization and promotion of peace congresses” (quotes from 1895 will). Nominees qualified for the 2013 Nobel peace prize dedicated his prize to “the champions of peace,” those working for global demilitarization.
