  • Cultural Educational Social
    CULTURAL EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL Established 1964 Publication of the Assyrian Foundation of America Volume 43, Number 3, 2019 Assyrian foundation of America In February, I had the enormous pleasure and privilege of attending a unique exhibit at the British Museum entitled, “I am Ashurbanipal, King of the World, King of Assyria”. It was an ex- traordinary experience to see archaeological artifacts attributed to the palace of arguably one of the most important kings in an- cient history, Ashurbanipal. Besides being a remarkable scholar and military strategist, he established the first and most impres- sive library of the ancient world. Within his incredible collec- tion of clay tablets lay one of the greatest epic tales ever told, the Gilgamesh. It is all the more appropriate that on the final day of the exhibit was a contemporary Assyrian folk music concert or- ganized by renowned Assyrian musician Honiball Joseph, founder of the Gilgamesh Art & Culture Foundation. The Assyrian Foundation of America (AFA) is a proud continuing sponsor of Honiball and his organization. Honiball Joseph is an accomplished musician, composer, conductor, pianist, and music educator with over thirty years of extensive international experience. In addition to numer- ous recitals, he has organized, conducted, arranged and composed several orchestral and vocal concerts throughout California as well as at the most prestigious concert halls in his native Iran. With the patronage of the AFA, Honiball has organized a unique repeat performance of the British museum concert here in San Francisco at the Marines’ Memorial Theater on Saturday, September 14, 2019. This is a great family event and I urge everyone, particularly those who were unable to join the festivities in London, to attend this concert that promises to be a spectacular and memo- rable experience.

  • The Sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit Era
    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 151-168 The sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit era Maria Mut Bosque School of Law, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Spain MINECO DER 2017-86138, Ministry of Economic Affairs & Digital Transformation, Spain Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London, UK [email protected] (corresponding author) Abstract: This paper focuses on an analysis of the sovereignty of two territorial entities that have unique relations with the United Kingdom: the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories (BOTs). Each of these entities includes very different territories, with different legal statuses and varying forms of self-administration and constitutional linkages with the UK. However, they also share similarities and challenges that enable an analysis of these territories as a complete set. The incomplete sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and BOTs has entailed that all these territories (except Gibraltar) have not been allowed to participate in the 2016 Brexit referendum or in the withdrawal negotiations with the EU. Moreover, it is reasonable to assume that Brexit is not an exceptional situation. In the future there will be more and more relevant international issues for these territories which will remain outside of their direct control, but will have a direct impact on them. Thus, if no adjustments are made to their statuses, these territories will have to keep trusting that the UK will be able to represent their interests at the same level as its own interests. Keywords: Brexit, British Overseas Territories (BOTs), constitutional status, Crown Dependencies, sovereignty https://doi.org/10.24043/isj.114 • Received June 2019, accepted March 2020 © 2020—Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada.

  • CHAPTER II Planning Area Profile for Hazard Mitigation Analysis
    CHAPTER II Planning Area Profile for Hazard Mitigation Analysis 24 Territory of American Samoa Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan A U.S. Territory since 1900, American Samoa is located in the central South Pacific Ocean, 2,300 miles south-southwest of Hawaii and 1,600 miles east-northeast of New Zealand. American Samoa has a total land area of approximately 76 square miles and consists of a group of five volcanic islands and two atolls (Rose Atoll and Swains Island). The five volcanic islands, Tutuila, Aunu’u, Ofu, Olosega, and Ta’u, are the major inhabited islands. Tutuila is the largest island and the center of government. Ofu, Olosega, and Ta’u, collectively are referred to as the Manu’a Islands. Figure 1 Base Map of American Samoa depicts all of the islands of American Samoa. Figure 1. Base Map of American Samoa. The five volcanic islands, Tutuila, Aunu’u, Ofu, Olosega, and Ta’u, are the inhabited islands. At 53 square miles, Tutuila is the largest and oldest of the islands, and is the center of government and business. It is a long, narrow island lying SW-NE, is just over 20 miles in length, and ranges from 1 to 2 miles wide in the eastern half, and from 2 to 5 miles wide in the western half. Home to 95 percent of the territory’s 55,000 residents, Tutuila is the historic capitol (Pago Pago), the seat of American Samoa’s legislature and judiciary (Fagatogo), as well as the office of the Governor. Tutuila is often divided into 3 regions: the eastern district, the western district and Manu’a district.
