  • Submission-Mare-Liberum
    1 Submission to the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants: pushback practices and their impact on the human rights of migrants by Mare Liberum Mare Liberum is a Berlin based non-profit-association, that monitors the human rights situation in the Aegean Sea with its own ships - mainly of the coast of the Greek island of Lesvos. As independent observers, we conduct research to document and publish our findings about the current situation at the European border. Since March 2020, Mare Liberum has witnessed a dramatic increase in human rights violations in the Aegean, both at sea and on land. Collective expulsions, commonly known as ‘pushbacks’, which are defined under ECHR Protocol N. 4 (Article 4), have been the most common violation we have witnessed in 2020. From March 2020 until the end of December 2020 alone, we counted 321 pushbacks in the Aegean Sea, in which 9,798 people were pushed back. Pushbacks by the Hellenic Coast Guard and other European actors, as well as pullbacks by the Turkish Coast Guard are not a new phenomenon in the Aegean Sea. However, the numbers were significantly lower and it was standard procedure for the Hellenic Coast Guard to rescue boats in distress and bring them to land where they would register as asylum seekers. End of February 2020 the political situation changed dramatically when Erdogan decided to open the borders and to terminate the EU-Turkey deal of 2016 as a political move to create pressure on the EU. Instead of preventing refugees from crossing the Aegean – as it was agreed upon in the widely criticised EU-Turkey deal - reports suggested that people on the move were forced towards the land and sea borders by Turkish authorities to provoke a large number of crossings.

Under General George Washington, the Continental Army fought for the independence and rights of a fledgling nation. This first American Army— primarily made up of ordinary citizens with little or no warfighting experience—comprised Soldiers who held a zealous desire for independence. Their motivation for freedom ultimately led them to defeat the well-established and well-trained British army. This motivation and love for country are instilled in today’s Soldiers as they continue to fight for and defend freedom from oppression for all.

    World War II American Campaign Medal History & Service Requirements The American Campaign Medal was established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9265 dated 6 November 1942, and subsequently amended by President Harry S. Truman’s Executive Order 9706 dated 15 March 1946, to be awarded to members of the Armed Forces who served in the American Theater between 7 December 1941 and 2 March 1946. The American Theater included North America (except Alaska which was part of the Pacific Theater) and South America. Service criteria for the American Campaign Medal included that the service member qualified under any of the following conditions: ● Service within the continental limits of the United States for an aggregate period of one year. ● Permanent assignment outside the continental limits of the United States. ● Permanent assignment as a member of a crew or vessel sailing ocean waters for a period of 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days. ● Permanent assignment as a member of an airplane operations crew making regular or frequent flights over ocean waters for a period of 30 days. ● Service outside the continental United States in a passenger status or temporary duty for 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days. ● Active combat against the enemy and was awarded a combat decoration or certificate. The ribbon design was approved by the Secretary of War in November 1942. The background of the ribbons was blue to represent the Americas. The black and white stripes represented Germany and the red and white stripes represented Japan. The center blue, white, and red stripes were taken from the American Defense Service Medal to represent the continued defense of the United States after Pearl Harbor.

  • CCI 511.01 EFFECTIVE DATE: 19 January 2021
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH COMMISSIONED CORPS INSTRUCTION AND HUMAN SERVICES CCI 511.01 EFFECTIVE DATE: 19 January 2021 By Order of the Assistant Secretary for Health: ADM Brett P. Giroir, M.D. SUBJECT: Awards Program 1. PURPOSE: 1-1. This Instruction prescribes the awards established under the Public Health Service (PHS) Commissioned Officers’ Awards Program (COAP). It also prescribes the authorities and responsibilities for administering this program. 1-2. COAP provides a means to give formal recognition to deserving officers in the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service (Corps) and to members of the other uniformed services whose accomplishments or achievements are of outstanding or unique significance to the missions of the Corps, or to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and non-HHS organizations to which Corps officers are detailed. The COAP normally is limited to accomplishments or achievements that are within the scope of an officer’s employment with the Corps; however, PHS may recognize extraordinary acts of heroism and valor outside an officer’s employment with the Corps through the COAP. This includes official activities sanctioned by SG-appointed groups according to their respective charters. 1-3. COAP is a criteria-based process designed to recognize documented accomplishments and achievements. It is not intended to convey any impression of officers competing with each other for recognition. There are neither minimum nor maximum numbers of nominations that may be submitted by HHS Operating Divisions (OPDIVs)/Staff Divisions (STAFFDIVs), or non-HHS organizations to which Corps officers are detailed, and the Corps assesses each award nomination on its own merits in comparison with criteria.
