Kelly Client Story Ms. B was brought to the U.S. from Zimbabwe as a nanny for a diplomat’s family who promised her schooling, shelter, and a good salary. Once here, however, the family broke its promises, requiring Ms. B to be on call 24 hours a day, paying her below minimum wage, refusing to allow her to use their phone or eat food in the house, and subjecting her to verbal abuse. When the diplomat left the U.S., Ms. B moved to New York City, where she met Mr. W., a U.S. citizen. However, after just two months of marriage, her husband became abusive, and one night he choked, raped, and threatened to kill her. Ms. B contacted the SAVING LIVES THROUGH THE LAW police, and the Queens District Attorney’s office referred her to the City Bar Justice Center’s Immigrant Women and Children Project.

As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere.

  • Carol Migdalovitz Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Defense Division
    Order Code RS21855 Updated October 16, 2007 Greece Update Carol Migdalovitz Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Defense Division Summary The conservative New Democracy party won reelection in September 2007. Kostas Karamanlis, its leader, remained prime minister and pledged to continue free-market economic reforms to enhance growth and create jobs. The government’s foreign policy focuses on the European Union (EU), relations with Turkey, reunifying Cyprus, resolving a dispute with Macedonia over its name, other Balkan issues, and relations with the United States. Greece has assisted with the war on terrorism, but is not a member of the coalition in Iraq. This report will be updated if developments warrant. See also CRS Report RL33497, Cyprus: Status of U.N. Negotiations and Related Issues, by Carol Migdalovitz. Government and Politics Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis called for early parliamentary elections to be held on September 16, 2007, instead of in March 2008 as otherwise scheduled, believing that his government’s economic record would ensure easy reelection. In August, however, Greece experienced severe and widespread wildfires, resulting in 76 deaths and 270,000 hectares burned. The government attempted to deflect attention from what was widely viewed as its ineffective performance in combating the fires by blaming the catastrophe on terrorists, without proof, and by providing generous compensation for victims. This crisis came on top of a scandal over the state pension fund’s purchase of government bonds at inflated prices. Under these circumstances, Karamanlis’s New Democracy party’s (ND) ability to win of a slim majority of 152 seats in the unicameral 300-seat parliament and four more years in office was viewed as a victory.

  • HJJ 2008-3 ENG 06.Indd
    This article from Hague Justice Journal is published by Eleven international publishing and made available to anonieme bezoeker COMMENTARY In the Name of the State The Interminable Naming Dispute over Macedonia Is Now Before the ICJ Nicholas Walbridge* INTRODUCTION On 17 November 2008, the controversy over the name of Macedonia, a dispute which has bemused outsiders for more than a decade and a half, took a regrettable new turn. After Greece promised to veto the invitation of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia1 to join NATO at the Bucharest summit in April 2008, the latter State instituted proceedings against Greece at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Its claim is that, in blocking its membership to NATO, Greece committed “a fl agrant violation of its obligations under Article 11” of the Interim Accord signed by the Parties on 13 September 1995. That provision provides that Greece would not object to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia’s membership “in international, multilateral and regional organizations and institutions of which [Greece] is a member”. The events of 2008 and the deterioration of the already precarious relationship between the two States regarding the use of the name “Macedonia” does not bode well for either country. The fact that the dispute has now been brought before the ICJ means that protracted proceedings will, in all likelihood, stall the settlement process further, with no guarantee of a defi nitive solution at their conclusion.
