SOCIAL AND CULTURAL STATUS OF JEWS IN THE SOVIET SOCIETY BEFORE AND AFTER THE WAR Despite undergoing numerous revisions, neither the Soviet Constitu- tion nor the Soviet Criminal Code ever adopted any laws or regulations that openly or implicitly permitted persecution of or discrimination against members of any minority group.1 On the surface, the laws were always structured to promote and protect equality of rights and status for more than one hundred different ethnic groups. Since November 15, 1917, a resolution issued by the Second All-Russia Congress of the Sovi- ets called for the “revoking of all and every national and national-relig- ious privilege and restriction.”2 The Congress also expressly recognized “the right of the peoples of Russia to free self-determination up to seces- sion and the formation of an independent state.” Identical resolutions were later adopted by each of the 15 Soviet Republics. Furthermore, Article 124 of the 1936 (Stalin-revised) Constitution stated that “[f]reedom of religious worship and freedom of anti-religious propaganda is recognized for all citizens.” 3 1 See generally W.E.

  • Ideológicas No Insucesso Do Processo De Paz Israelo- Palestinianas: Uma Abordagem Psico-Social
    Samuel João Caetano Vilela O papel da identidade colectiva e das questões político- ideológicas no insucesso do processo de paz israelo- palestinianas: uma abordagem psico-social Dissertação de Mestrado na área científica da Ciência Política e Relações Internacionais, na especialidade da Paz e Resolução de Conflitos, orientada pelo Senhor Professor Doutor Augusto Rogério Leitão e apresentada à Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra. Julho de 2011 Sumário Os conflitos internacionais marcam a história da humanidade há já muitos séculos e o conflito israelo-palestiniano, fundamentalmente pelo seu já longo historial, ocupa um lugar de destaque entre os conflitos, que apresentam um grau mais elevado de complexidade. Considerando esta complexidade, a análise e compreensão de todos os factores que contribuem para o perpetuar deste conflito, não pode ser um exercício simplista que não atente a toda a história e historial de violência por detrás do conflito e à forma como, ao longo dos últimos séculos e, particularmente nas últimas décadas, se foi construindo e solidificando a identidade colectiva dos dois principais intervenientes: judeus e árabes-palestinianos. Um quadro teórico construtivista permite uma análise à evolução do processo de co- construção das identidades colectivas, israelita e palestiniana, evidenciando as várias interacções entre ambas como determinantes para a sua formação e consolidação. Estas identidades, assim como as diferenças político-ideológicas adjacentes, que interna e externamente separam israelitas e palestinianos e israelitas de palestinianos ao estarem na base da continuidade do conflito representam em simultâneo a solução para este. No entanto, um processo negocial que aborde o conflito partindo da sua dimensão psico-social implica um processo de transformação do relacionamento entre as partes numa relação positiva.

  • We Understand That the U.S. Department of Labor Announced a Proposed Rule That Would “Update and Clarify” the Department of Labor’S Investment Duties Regulation
    July 26, 2020 Office of Regulations and Interpretations Employee Benefits Security Administration, Room N-5655, U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue NW Washington, DC 20210 Attention: Financial Factors in Selecting Plan Investments Proposed Regulation. Document Citation: 85 FR 39113 Page: 39113-39128 (16 pages) CFR: 29 CFR 2550 RIN: 1210-AB95 Document Number: 2020-13705 Dear Sir/Madam: We understand that the U.S. Department of Labor announced a proposed rule that would “update and clarify” the Department of Labor’s investment duties regulation. According to the news release issued announcing this proposed rule, “Private employer-sponsored retirement plans are not vehicles for furthering social goals or policy objectives that are not in the financial interest of the plan,” said Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia. “Rather, ERISA plans should be managed with unwavering focus on a single, very important social goal: providing for the retirement security of American workers.” We are writing to provide comments on this proposed rule. Background The core idea behind the work of William Michael Cunningham at Creative Investment Research is the recognition that mainstream market-based solutions do not maximize social return. This leads to an underappreciation for the value of human life. We develop market-based innovations to counter this. The elevation of “Chicago-school” economic theories has led to a focus on celebrity and money worship. These magnify and worsen the misallocation of economic resources identified above. Our development of social return investment technologies and the subsequent rise of social entrepreneurs are the methods we have used in this effort. We have radically augmented the development of new investment theories that are the key, we believe, to a higher level of human development.

Trade links between the two countries, among other ties, offer special hope to those struggling to be repatriated to Israel, and to rejoin their families. In our view any future efforts to enlarge trading activity between the US and the Soviet Union must reflect an under­ standing of the reciprocal obligations involved, including the protection of human rights. The basic objective of the Jackson-Yanik Amendment, officially known as the Freedom of Emigration Amendment to the Trade Reform Act (1974), as a tangible expression of support for human rights, has' !widespread appeal. ~ , As long QS ~he USSR desires US credits to purchase American technology, or seeks to expand exports to this country, we strongly support the Jackson-Vanik Amendment, which recognizes human rights violations and imposes restraints on trade, with "non-market economies" whose govern­ ments deprive their citizens of the right to leave. As long as the Soviet Union persecutes Jewish life and clamps down on emigration, we oppose either a repeal of the trade legislation in place or executive waivers as provided in the statute.
