This is an interview with Ambassador Wells Stabler on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies. Mr. Ambassador, I wonder if you would give me something about your bac)ground--where you came from, your education, etc. STABDER: 0ell I 3as born in Boston. My father at that time 3as in the State Department the Foreign Service although he 3ent back and forth a bit from Foreign Service to business. ": Strictly spea)ing there wasn't a Foreign Service in 1919. ,ou were born in 1919. STABDER: Ies October 31 1919. There 3as not. strictly speaking a Foreign Service although there 3as at that time a Diplomatic Service. He 3as a member of the Diplomatic Service. 4ust before I 3as born he 3as a member of the US Delegation to the Paris Peace 1onference advising on Datin American affairs. At the time of my birth he had shifted over briefly to private business and 3as a 5ice President of All American 1ables in Buenos Aires. In early 1920 he came back to the State Department but only for a fe3 years. In about 192, he again returned to private business and 3as in Ecuador representing a consortium of American banks in their effort to collect a loan that the Ecuadoran 7overnment o3ed to those banks. I 3as about five years old then and my brother 3ho 3as t3o years older and I appropriately accompanied 3ent by boat to join my parents in Juito. In about a yearGs time after the successful completion of his 3ork in Ecuador my father 3as named as Secretary 7eneral of the Tacna-Arica Plebiscite 3hich involved a long-standing dispute bet3een 1hile and Peru over the sovereignty of those t3o provinces. In 1925 President 1oolidge appointed 7eneral 4ohn 4. Pershing 3ho had led the American E/peditionary Force in 0orld 0ar I to supervise the Plebiscite. PershingGs head9uarters 3ere in I9ui9ue 1hile. As I9ui9ue 3as not considered a fit place for 3omen and children my mother my brother and I lived further south in 5iKa del Mar near 5alparaiso. 0e 3ere there for nine months and for a part of that time I attended an English school St. PaulGs. In 1926 3hen the Plebiscite 3as called off because of rioting in the t3o provinces 3e returned to 0ashington. My father became the 1hief of the Datin American Division of the State Department. ": ,ou were how old at that time- STABDER: Oh I 3as about si/ or seven. In 1927 he finally retired from the Diplomatic Service and took a job 3ith 7ulf Oil 1ompany. 0e all moved do3n to 1aracas 5eneAuela 3here he became head of governmental relations for 7ulf Oil in 5eneAuela. 0e lived there for almost nine years. Ho3ever during those years my brother and I came up to boarding school in the US - Fay School in Southborough Mass. follo3ed by Brooks School in North Andover Mass. and then graduation cum laude from Harvard in 19,1. 5 ": Am I correct in assuming that you learned Spanish during this time- STABDER: Ies 3e spoke Spanish As 3e 3ere living in a Spanish-speaking country. But my last summer in 5eneAuela 3as in 1936 because in 1937 after I graduated from school I 3ent over to Europe and spent the summer in Belgium 3ith a Belgian family learning to speak French. So I really did not speak Spanish again e/cept in Paris 3hen 3e 3ere there later on - 3e had Spanish household help. But I did not really have to speak Spanish until I 3as appointed as Ambassador to Madrid in 1975. To go back in September or October 19,1 several months after graduating from Harvard I came do3n to 0ashington to see if I could get a job in the State Department. I had al3ays 3anted to go into the State Department. ": .bviously you had had tremendous e/posure to this. STABDER: 0e had had a lot of e/posure to diplomatic life and to living abroad. Of course 3hen my father 3as in 5eneAuela he 3as no longer 3ith the 7overnment but he 3as involved at that time 3ith the 5eneAuelan 7overnment. So there 3as a background of political science if you 3ill. As I said I came do3n to 0ashington to look for a job in the State department. At that time because of the 3ar in Europe they had stopped giving the regular Foreign Service e/ams and I 3as not at that point entirely sure ho3 I 3as going to deal 3ith this. But through my father's friendship of long standing 3ith the then Under Secretary of State Sumner 0elles I 3ent to see Mr. 0elles and he very kindly put me in touch 3ith the Personnel people in the State Department. I 3ent to see 4ack Earhardt 3ho 3as at that point 1hief of Foreign Service Personnel. He referred me to Robert Macatee 3ho 3as an Assistant 1hief of Foreign Service Personnel. LIt is amusing that that 3as 19,1 and seven years later in 19,8 Mr. Macatee 3as my 1onsul 7eneral in 4erusalemM. I 3as offered an appointment in the Foreign Service Au/iliary in the fall of 19,1 3ith assignment as 5ice 1onsul in BogotN. I started 3ork in the Department in the first days of .ovember of 19,1 in the office in the Division of American Republic Affairs 3hich acted as the liaison 3ith the Office of the 1oordinator of Inter-American Affairs headed by Nelson Rockefeller. 4ohn Dreier 3as the head of the office I 3orked in and 3e coordinated for the State Department the activities of the 1oordinator of Inter-American Affairs in its contacts 3ith the coordinating committees in the various countries of Datin America. After a short 3hile I decided that I really 3ould like to stay on in 0ashington in the 3ork I 3as doing. So my assignment to BogotN 3as cancelled. I remained in the Department in this position from 19,1 until 19,3 at 3hich point I 3as appointed as Desk Officer for Ecuadoran Affairs. 6 ": Let's tal) about this time you were wor)ing under Nelson Roc)efeller- STABDER: No 3e 3orked in the Division of the then ARA (American Republic AffairsC.

  • Strong, Nonpartisan Support for New START: Key Quotes
    Strong, Nonpartisan Support for New START: Key Quotes SUPPORT FOR RATIFICATION Admiral Michael Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: ”I believe, and the rest of the military leadership in this country believes, that this treaty is essential to our future security....I hope the Senate will ratify it quickly.” [Admiral Mullen, 11/12 2010] SeCretary of Defense Robert Gates: “The New START Treaty has the unanimous support of America's military leadership—to include the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, all of the service chiefs, and the commander of the U.S. Strategic Command, the organization responsible for our strategic nuclear deterrent. For nearly 40 years, treaties to limit or reduce nuclear weapons have been approved by the U.S. Senate by strong bipartisan majorities. This treaty deserves a similar reception and result-on account of the dangerous weapons it reduces, the critical defense capabilities it preserves, the strategic stability it maintains, and, above all, the security it provides to the American people.” [Secretary Gates, 5/13/10] James SChlesinger, SeCretary of Defense for Presidents Nixon and Ford: “It is obligatory for the United States to ratify.” [James Schlesinger, 4/29/10] Admiral Michael Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: “I am pleased to add my voice in support of ratification of the New START treaty and to do so as soon as possible. We are in our seventh month without a treaty with Russia." [Admiral Mullen, 6/17/10] Dr. James Miller, PrinCipal Deputy Defense UnderseCretary for Policy: “The New START Treaty is strongly in the national security interest of the United States.

Weinberger, not a defense technocrat, managed a massive defense buildup of 1.5 trillion dollars over a four year period. A biographical approach to Weinberger illuminates Reagan’s selection, for in many ways Weinberger harkens back to an earlier type of defense manager more akin to Elihu Root than Robert McNamara; more a man of letters than technocrat.

    United Nations A/CN.4/596 General Assembly Distr.: General 31 March 2008 Original: English International Law Commission Sixtieth session Geneva, 5 May-6 June and 7 July-8 August 2008 Immunity of State officials from foreign criminal jurisdiction Memorandum by the Secretariat 08-29075 (E) 141108 *0829075* A/CN.4/596 Summary The present study, prepared by the Secretariat at the request of the International Law Commission, is intended to provide a background to the Commission’s consideration of the topic “Immunity of State officials from foreign criminal jurisdiction”. The study examines the main legal issues that arise in connection with this topic, both from classical and contemporary perspectives, also taking into account developments in the field of international criminal law that might have produced an impact on the immunities of State officials from foreign criminal jurisdiction. Three limitations to the scope of the study need to be emphasized. First, the study only deals with immunities of those individuals that are State officials, as opposed to other individuals — for example, agents of international organizations — who may also enjoy immunities under international law. Furthermore, the study does not cover certain categories of State officials such as diplomats and consular agents, since the rules governing their privileges and immunities have already been a subject of codification. However, reference is made, as appropriate, to such rules where they might provide useful elements in addressing certain issues on which practice regarding the individuals covered by the present study appears to be scant. Secondly, the study is limited to immunities from criminal jurisdiction, as opposed to other types of jurisdiction such as civil.

  • Confederation: the Last Chance for Establishing a New Partnership in Cyprus
    PERCEPTIONS JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS March - May 2001 Volume VI - Number 1 CONFEDERATION: THE LAST CHANCE FOR ESTABLISHING A NEW PARTNERSHIP IN CYPRUS M. ERGÜN OLGUN M. Ergün Olgun is Under-secretary to the President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. BACKGROUND There are two peoples in Cyprus who jealously guard their distinct political, ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious identities and separate existence. They are political equals, each with its established equal status, including its separate right of self-determination. The UK government, in 1956 and 1958, recognised the two peoples separate right of self-determination before independence was granted to the partnership Republic. The political equality of the two parties was enshrined in the Constitution of the partnership Republic, where legitimacy ensued from the joint will of the two parties expressed through their separately elected representatives. As an equal party and as a subject of international law, the Turkish Cypriot party, together with the Greek Cypriot party, was a signatory to all the international treaties of 1960, which created the partnership Republic. Since its violent usurpation of the 1960 partnership Republic in 1963, the Greek Cypriot partner has been trying to take full control of the island in order to turn it into a Hellenic Republic. The Turkish Cypriot party, for its part, has fought for and successfully defended its rights, never succumbing to the will of the Greek Cypriot party. Turkish Cypriot pleas during the 1963-1974 period to maintain the 1960 constitutional order were ridiculed, and Greek Cypriots went ahead and unilaterally changed even the unchangeable 'equal partnership' provisions of the 1960 Constitution soon after ejecting the Turkish Cypriot partner from all the organs of the state.

These relations evolved under conditions in which both countries understood and valued the need for cooperation, but also were aware of its limits and the dangers of too close a partnership. U.S. security dealings with Saudi Arabia are an extreme, perhaps unique, case of how security ties unfolded under conditions in which sensitivities to those ties were always a central —oftentimes dominating—consideration. This was especially true in the most delicate area of military assistance. Distinct patterns of behavior by the two countries emerged as a result, patterns that continue to this day. This dissertation examines the first twenty years of the U.S.-Saudi military assistance relationship. It seeks to identify the principal factors responsible for how and why the military assistance process evolved as it did, focusing on the objectives and constraints of both U.S.

  • The Politician Truth Will Ultimately Prevail Where There Is Pains Taken to Bring It to Light
    The Politician Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains taken to bring it to light. —George Washington Obvious pressures to smother and ignore The Politician since its official publication are unmatched in the history of the American book world. Now that this explosive volume is available to anyone who will read and judge for himself, the hundreds of periodicals which were quoting and misquoting from it regularly for two years have failed to give it a review or a mention of any nature. There have been many case histories showing the influence exerted on the seven thousand regular bookstores in the United States which has resulted in a virtual boycott of the book—even by those stores that wanted to offer it for sale. In spite of these problems, the sale of forty thousand copies in the first six months after publication and the continuing strong sale have been encouraging. The truth, so fully documented, is not easy to keep buried, even by all of the powerful influences that are so determined to hide it.
