UNEP(DEPI)/MED IG.20/Inf.8 17 January 2012 ENGLISH UNEP(DEPI)/MED IG.20/Inf.8 17 January 2012 ENGLISH MEDITERRANEAN ACTION PLAN 17th Ordinary Meeting of the Contracting Parties to the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment and the Coastal Region of the Mediterranean and its Protocols Paris (France), 8-10 February 2012 INITIAL INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA: FULFILLING STEP 3 OF THE ECOSYSTEM APPROACH PROCESS UNEP/MAP Athens, 2012 Note from the Secretariat 1. This report represents an initial assessment of information on ecology, status, and pressures affecting coastal and marine ecosystems of the Mediterranean, based on existing information available either at the regional level, or throughout each of the four subregions that were delineated by decision of the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention. The assessment was prepared in line with the agreement at the First Meeting of Technical Experts on the Application of the Ecosystem Approach by MAP, in Rome 8-9 April 2010, which stipulated that the integrated report should follow the Table of Contents proposed and adopted by the Second meeting of Government Designated Experts on the Application of the Ecosystem Approach by MAP, in Athens 9-10 July 2008. In addition to a standard format for each of the subregions, this integrated report contains an Introduction that describes this initial assessment in the context of the ecosystem approach process, a basin-wide overview of what is currently known about pressures and states of marine and coastal ecosystems across the Mediterranean, and a concluding section identifying priority issues, as well as critical gaps in understanding that need to be filled in order to advance the Ecosystem Approach process. 2. The Secretariat has submitted the draft for consideration and review to the Second meeting of technical experts on the Application of the Ecosystem Approach by MAP held in Barcelona in July 2010. The report was also subject to comments by the Contracting parties through the second half of 2010. Comments from Croatia, Greece, France, EC, Israel, Morocco, Spain and Turkey were received and incorporated. 3. After the decision of the Bureau of the Contracting Parties the second draft version, including the comments received, was submitted to GESAMP (Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Environment Protection) for peer review in March 2011. The review process was completed and review comments have been incorporated. 4. The present version of the report includes therefore the comments received by the Contracting Parties on the previous version and comments and suggested changes provided by GESAMP. It also includes final comments made during the third meeting of Government-designated Experts on the Application of the Ecosystem Approach by MAP in June 2011. 5. This initial assessment report has been prepared under the auspices of UNEP/MAP Coordinating Unit with the contributions of lead consultant Dr. Tundi Agardy, as based on the subregional reports prepared by UNEP/MAP components, MED POL and SPA/RAC, along with contributions of regional and national consultants, and with the regional UNEP/MAP- BP/RAC report on the "Economic Value of Sustainable Benefits Rendered by Mediterranean Marine Ecosystems". 6. Many portions or the text originate from consultant subregional reports, especially the sections on biodiversity pollutants, pressures and impacts. Additional material was derived from national reports and from comments and contributions provided by Contracting Parties representatives. Important additional sources of information include the UNEP/MAP-EEA reports, and the Transboundary Assessment of the Mediterranean, as well as cumulative impacts mapping prepared under the auspices of the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis by Fiorenza Micheli. 7.

  • Une Cellule Anti-Harragas
    A la une / Actualité pour dissuader les candidats à l’émigration clandestine Une cellule anti-harragas C’est l’ampleur prise ces derniers mois par ce phénomène qui a poussé les responsables à mettre en place cette structure. Le phénomène de l’émigration clandestine s’est amplifié ces derniers mois, et ce, depuis le début de la saison estivale, au niveau de la côte de l’extrême-ouest du pays, en particulier les zones de Honaine, Ghazaouet et Marsat Ben M’hidi, ainsi que les wilayas de Tlemcen et Aïn Témouchent avec Béni-Saf et Bouzedjar, qui ont enregistré un nombre important de candidats à la harga. À cet effet, et pour y faire face, une cellule de sécurité et de crise, composée des représentants de la Sûreté nationale, de la Gendarmerie nationale et des gardes-côtes, vient d’être mise sur pied tout récemment afin d’assurer un travail de coordination. Il s’agit, dans un premier temps, de parvenir à dissuader les jeunes Algériens de recourir à cette aventure à haut risque qu’est la tentative d’émigration clandestine. Par ailleurs, nous apprenons que cette cellule aura pour mission principale le suivi des mouvements et des différents passages des harragas, qui devront en même temps être soumis à des enquêtes approfondies quant à leurs origines, mais également les motifs qui les ont amenés à faire ce choix extrême aux conséquences parfois dramatiques. L’importance de rassembler toutes les informations nécessaires sur ce phénomène qui prend de l’ampleur dans la région ouest du littoral est aussi l’un des objectifs de cette cellule, et ce, pour permettre aux différents responsables concernés de prendre les mesures s’imposant en pareille circonstance.

  • The Rights of Older Persons Within the African Union
    The Rights of Older Persons within the African Union Prof. Israel (Issi) Doron,* Dr. Benny Spanier, and Mr. Ori Lazar Karere kagokurerawo (Look after it and it will look after you) Introduction Historically, the human rights of older persons,1 as a unique, separate, social group, have received little attention in the international discourse on human rights.2 This reality has begun to change in the last decade following a series of discussions,3 articles,4 and activities of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). 5 In very recent years, this development has reached a climax with the establishment and activity of the United Nations Open Ended Working Group (OEWG) since 2010,6 and with the *The authors would like to acknowledge and thank the Minerva Center for Human Rights at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem for its support for this research project. Prof. Israel (Issi) Doron is the Head of the Department of Gerontology, University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel; Dr. Benny Spanier is an Israeli legal scholar which specializes in international elder law; Mr. Ori Lazar is a law student at the Faculty of Law, University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel. 1 The question who is an "older person" or what is the threshold for being "old" is a challenging question of its own. There are different legal and sociological approaches to answer this question. For the purposes of this article, the approach of the Chicago Declaration on the Rights of Older Persons will be adopted (Online: http://www.jmls.edu/braun/pdf/chicago-declaration-v11.pdf): "Article 10: Definitions: (a). For purposes of this Declaration, an “older person” is generally any person who due to chronological age or status is considered under local or national law to be an older person or is perceived as being an older person." 2 For a general overview of the historical lack of interest and attention to the human rights of older persons see: Diego Rodriguez-Pinzon & Claudia Martin, The International Human Rights Status of Elderly Persons, 18 Am.

UNEP/MAP SPA/RAC - Tunis, 2019 Note by the Secretariat The 19th Meeting of the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention (COP 19) agreed on the Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Programme (IMAP) of the Mediterranean Sea and Coast and Related Assessment Criteria which set, in its Decision IG.22/7, a specific list of 27 common indicators (CIs) and Good Environmental Status (GES) targets and principles of an integrated Mediterranean Monitoring and Assessment Programme. During the initial phase of the IMAP implementation (2016-2019), the Contracting parties to the Barcelona Convention updated the existing national monitoring and assessment programmes following the Decision requirements in order to provide all the data needed to assess whether ‘‘Good Environmental Status’’ defined through the Ecosystem Approach process has been achieved or maintained. In line with IMAP, Guidance Factsheets were developed, reviewed and agreed by the Meeting of the Ecosystem Approach Correspondence Group on Monitoring (CORMON) Biodiversity and Fisheries (Madrid, Spain, 28 February-1 March 2017) and the Meeting of the SPA/RAC Focal Points (Alexandria, Egypt, 9-12 May 2017) for the Common Indicators to ensure coherent monitoring.

The Zara case study. È forse possibile, in tempi di crisi economica e finanziaria, considerare l’area Mediterranea come la nuova frontiera del rinascimento globale? Rispondere a questa domanda è stata la grande sfida che ci si è proposti in questa tesi di laurea. Cina, India e Brasile sono indubbiamente paesi performanti; ma se una potenziale via d'uscita alle problematiche economiche d'imprese europee meridionali, come ad esempio quelle italiane o spagnole, fosse da ricercare proprio dietro l’angolo? Sotto il profilo del business, l’area geografica del Medio Oriente e del Nord Africa potrebbe essere a buon diritto considerata tra le più promettenti a livello globale, come testimonia il crescente fenomeno d'internazionalizzazione che si colloca alla base di scelte di delocalizzazione e investimento da parte di numerose aziende europee all’interno della regione. Tuttavia, un'attenta analisi in merito non può prescindere da una distinzione tra le due differenti aree che la compongono: da un lato i paesi mediorientali del Golfo Persico e dall’altro il Mediterraneo vero e proprio, area su cui verrà concentrata maggiormente l’attenzione.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.
