The report was provided to the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 2140 (2014) on 27 December 2019 and was considered by the Committee on 10 January 2020. We would appreciate it if the present letter and the report were brought to the attention of the members of the Security Council and issued as a document of the Council.

The country’s many conflicts are interconnected and can no longer be separated by clear divisions between external and internal actors and events. Throughout 2019, the Houthis and the Government of Yemen made little headway towards either a political settlement or a conclusive military victory. In a continuation from 2018, the belligerents continued to practice economic warfare: using economic obstruction and financial tools as weapons to starve opponents of funds or materials. Profiteering from the conflict is endemic.

  • Jurassic Sequence Stratigraphy of the Western and Southern Arabian Gulf
    GeoArabia, Vol. 2, No. 4, 1997 Jurassic Sequence Stratigraphy, Arabian Gulf Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain Jurassic Sequence Stratigraphy of the Western and Southern Arabian Gulf Moujahed I. Al-Husseini Gulf PetroLink ABSTRACT The Jurassic sequence stratigraphic scheme for Central Saudi Arabia is extrapolated to the formations of the western and southern Arabian Gulf region resulting in a tentative chronostratigraphic framework. The framework is tentaively constrained as follows: (1) Upper Triassic-?Lower Jurassic continental clastics (Minjur and equivalents) and the subsequent pre-Toarcian unconformity indicate regional erosion and non-deposition over the Arabian platform. (2) A Toarcian sequence (Marrat and equivalents) provides a basal Jurassic regional datum, except in Oman. (3) The late Toarcian and Aalenian correspond to a substantial sea- level lowstand and a regional depositional hiatus. (4) The Middle Jurassic Dhruma Formation corresponds to four different sequences with a major intervening hiatus. The Upper Dhruma Member, together with the Tuwaiq Mountain form the topmost sequence. The correlation between the Dhruma, Tuwaiq Mountain, Hanifa and Jubaila formations, to their equivalents in other Arabian Gulf countries, requires clearer definitions. (5) The Arab and Hith Anhydrite formations are Tithonian based on their sequence assignment, while the Sulaiy Formation is Berriasian and straddles the Jurassic- Cretaceous boundary. (6) The four Tithonian Arab carbonates may have been deposited as transgressive and early highstand deposits. The Tithonian Arab, Gotnia and Hith anhydrites may be late highstand deposits which overstep inland "salinas" (Gotnia and western Rub’ Al-Khali). Each carbonate and overlying anhydrite sequence appear to correspond to a complete third-order cycle. (7) The equivalents to the Kimmeridgian Jubaila Formation and Tithonian Arab carbonates are absent by non-deposition in Kuwait.

  • The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus As an Example of a Non-Recognized State
    perspektywy kultury / Orient. Wczoraj i dziś perspectives on culture No. 31 (4/2020) Przemysław Osiewicz http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6883-7307 Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań [email protected] DOI: 10.35765/pk.2020.3104.11 The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus as an Example of a Non-Recognized State ABSTRACT The issue of Cyprus remains one of the longest unregulated international dis- putes. For nearly half a century of the island’s de facto division, it has been one of the factors destabilizing the situation in the eastern Mediterranean. It has periodically led to tensions, not only between members of the two Cypriot communities, the Greek and Turkish Cypriots, but also between Greece and Turkey, and finally, Turkey and the European Union. The purpose of this article was to present the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus as an exam- ple of a so-called unrecognized state and to assign it to an appropriate type of un recognized states. The selected case was examined on the basis of the attributes of an unrecognized state, formulated by a leading researcher of this issue, Nina Caspersen, and a selected typology of unrecognized states. KEYWORDS: unrecognized state, Cyprus, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, TRNC, Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriots STRESZCZENIE Turecka Republika Cypru Północnego jako przykład państwa nieuznawanego Kwestia cypryjska pozostaje jednym z najdłużej nieuregulowanych sporów międzynarodowych. Od blisko pół wieku faktyczny podział wyspy jest jed- nym z czynników destabilizujących sytuację w regionie wschodniego Morza Śródziemnego. Okresowo doprowadza do napięć nie tylko pomiędzy człon- kami obu cypryjskich społeczności, Grekami cypryjskimi i Turkami cypryj- skimi, ale także między Grecją i Turcją oraz Turcją i Unią Europejską.
