People‘s Daily Online – China NPT Draft Calls For 2012 Meeting On Middle East Nuke-Free Zone May 22, 2010 A draft agreement circulated on Friday at the Review Conference of the Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT) calls on all Middle East states to meet at a United Nations summit in 2012 to make progress toward a region free from nuclear bombs and weapons of mass destruction. UN Secretary-general Ban Ki-moon is to convene the 2012 high- level meeting and appoint a special coordinator to take a lead role and conduct consultations with the Middle East states, said the document, drafted by a subsidiary committee of the ongoing NPT Review Conference, which ends on May 28. The last NPT Review Conference in 2005 was largely considered a failure when state parties failed to reach an agreement on a number of issues, including concrete steps that could be taken to implement the 1995 Middle East Resolution, which calls for a nuke- free region. With one week to go before the month-long Review Conference ends, and a final consensus document being expected, there is a certain level of nervousness in the halls here as to whether an agreement on the implementation of the Middle East resolution will be reached in time. Egypt, which leads the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), has been pressing for a 2012 meeting, while the United States has proposed a conference in 2012-2013 to discuss the resolution's implementation. There is also a disagreement about whether the meeting should take place under the auspices of the United Nations. If the UN does take the lead, it will mean the participation of Israel, which is not an NPT state party and has neither denied nor confirmed its nuclear arsenal. The draft agreement calls on India and Pakistan to accede to the NPT as non-nuclear weapons states and urges them to strengthen their non-proliferation export control measures. Lastly, the draft condemns the nuclear tests announced by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) in 2006 and 2009 and calls on the DPRK to return to the stalled six-party talks.

Grossman Global Security Newswire UNITED NATIONS -- A major panel charged with forging strategies for nuclear disarmament during this month's Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty review conference yesterday concluded its work here without consensus on a number of points (see GSN, May 24). "It is almost an impossible task," said Zimbabwean Ambassador Boniface Chidyausiku, who chaired the conference's committee on disarmament, describing his unsuccessful effort to obtain support from all of the accord's 189 member nations for a draft joint statement about efforts to eliminate nuclear weapons. During a final two-hour meeting Monday, the panel's seventh formal gathering, Western nations differed sharply with many developing states over key passages of a 14-page draft report. By midnight last night, the disarmament committee's text was to be folded in with those of two other panels -- one on nonproliferation and another on peaceful uses of nuclear energy -- to form an initial draft of an integrated conference statement. Summits such as the one convened here by member nations this month are held every five years to review these three major "pillars" of the 1970 treaty. Though there remained disagreements over selected wording in the disarmament text, those differences would now be left to the conference plenary to sort out, Chidyausiku said. The looming question hanging over the 2010 gathering is whether key issues under debate can be resolved by the conclusion of the conference at week's end. Member nations aim to reach consensus on a final resolution laying out ways to strengthen the accord, but if that fails, a mechanism is in place to adopt a statement by a two-thirds "super- majority" vote. Although a number of other issues might ultimately stand in the way of final consensus -- including debate over how to pursue a WMD-free zone in the Middle East -- diplomatic kerfuffles over the process by which nuclear powers would move to disarm are proving more nettlesome than many had earlier imagined. "Even if we had the whole day today, we're not going to get a consensus on the [draft disarmament] document put before you," said Chidyausiku, who serves as his country's permanent representative to the United Nations. One central point of contention in Chidyausiku's draft text pertains to whether the five nuclear powers recognized under the treaty -- China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States -- should be pressed to establish a set schedule for eliminating their atomic arms. "The conference affirms that the final phase of the nuclear disarmament process and other related measures should be pursued within a legal framework with specified time lines," reads a particularly controversial passage of the disarmament committee's in-progress report. The reference to adhering to disarmament "time lines" has raised the ire of Washington and others. Representatives of a number of nations -- including the United States, France and Russia -- called yesterday for any timing imperative to be removed from the resolution. Laura Kennedy, who represented the United States on the NPT review conference disarmament committee, joined her British and French counterparts in calling on all states to work harder and more collectively toward disarmament. "We all have roles to play," she said at yesterday's committee meeting. If disarming the five major nuclear powers were not challenging enough, significantly complicating the picture is the possession of nuclear arsenals by nations that are not party to the Nonproliferation Treaty: Pakistan, India and Israel. Another state, North Korea, withdrew from the accord after it developed a nuclear-weapons capability. None of these nations is taking part in the conference and there is, thus far, no clear roadmap for how they might be brought along. A number of member nations spoke up to defend the draft wording that calls for firm disarmament time lines. Those included an Egyptian representative speaking for two significant coalitions: the 116-member Nonaligned Movement of developing states and the geographically diverse New Agenda Coalition, representing Brazil, Egypt, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa and Sweden. "We remain resolute" in backing the draft's "very mild language" regarding an initiative to draft time lines for disarmament, South Africa's delegate to the disarmament committee said. "Allow us to take something home," he appealed. For its part, Mexico would not accept any "dilution" of the draft language on moving toward disarmament time lines, its envoy stated. "Public opinion would view negatively if we were not able to build" on the significant movement toward strengthening nonproliferation initiatives laid out during the 2000 conference, she said. That gathering identified 13 steps that should be pursued to strengthen nonproliferation, including placing more effective controls on fissile material and implementing the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. The original draft of this year's disarmament committee report urged nuclear-weapon states to meet in 2011 to consider opportunities for expediting the disarmament process (see GSN, May 17). That would have been followed by an international meeting in 2014 to establish a schedule for ridding the world of nuclear weapons. The specific language calling for these summits, though, was reportedly removed from the document (see GSN, May 20).

Dalarna University recommends that both researchers as well as students publish their work open access. I give my/we give our consent for full text publishing (freely accessible on the internet, open access): Yes ☒ No ☐ Dalarna University – SE-791 88 Falun – Phone +4623-77 80 00 Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyse the contents in texts about the intra-Syrian peace negotiations, as well as identify latent political meanings, through examining how the sides of the war are portrayed in al-Jazeera´s coverage. Dr Zainab Abdul-Nabi suggests in her analysis of al-Jazeera´s coverage of another event in the Syrian war, namely the chemical attack in Ghouta, that al-Jazeera has a catalysing role in the Arab Spring when covering the Syrian war in particular. This study continues along those lines that Abdul-Nabi suggests by analysing the coverage of another event in the Syrian war – the UN-led intra-Syrian peace negotiations.

Their values and actions are frequently the antithesis of the Canadian Constitution, values and law. Despite statements to the contrary, the Muslim Brotherhood considers itself above local laws and national constitutions. *The Muslim Brotherhood’s use of settlement and the “process of civilization jihad” has proven effective. The long term aim is to globally impose a virulent form of political Islam to the exclusion of other faiths or systems.
