The Board discussed the remuneration rates and the anticipated work commitment for the coming year. The recruitment and interviewing of potential Board members would generate an increase in the Board’s time commitment in 2020. The benchmarking exercise demonstrated that there had been a marginal increase in the rates payable for both the Chair and the Board. 10. It was noted that the Board remuneration has remained unchanged for the last 5 years since the PRP came into legal existence on 3 November 2014. The Board noted that notwithstanding the variances in the workload, the roles required particular skill sets to provide an effective Board, especially noting the Chair’s legal knowledge. 11. The Board discussed the Chair’s remuneration with the Chair absent from the room for the purposes of this part of the discussion. The Board agreed that the Chair’s remuneration should remain unchanged. The Chair joined the Board for the discussion on the members’ remuneration and the Board agreed that the rates should remain unchanged at present.

The Board considered a paper that provided an update on the business continuity arrangements in place in the event of an emergency and the recommended interim arrangements in respect of Executive staff succession. 16. The ARC had considered the business continuity arrangements in place at its meeting on 29 October 2019 and noted that the flexible working construct had significantly reduced the risk in respect of staff not being able to work due to an emergency affecting access to the Mappin House office. 17. The Committee had discussed the business continuity plan for the PRP in terms of staff succession planning and the Chair of the ARC confirmed that the paper reflected the Committee’s aim of having a robust mitigation plan in place. The Committee’s concern had been that in the event of an emergency, there would be an issue for the Board to access information. Comis had confirmed that the Chair and his nominated representative would be provided with access. 18. It was noted that in the event of an emergency, the tenderers for the Board appointments could potentially assist with the recruitment for a CEO as they would have a good understanding of the PRP and its requirements. It was noted that the PRP’s partners all had built an in depth understanding of the organisation and would be in a good position to provide additional support as necessary. 19. The Chair informed the Board that he would refresh and familiarise himself with the shared electronic system. page 3 of 4 Quarterly risk register review - Paper PRP129(19) 20. - redacted 22.

  • Litigating Corporate Complicity in Israeli Violations of International Law in the U.S
    97 Corrie et al v. Caterpillar: Litigating Corporate Complicity in Israeli Violations of International Law in the U.S. Courts Grietje Baars* 1 INTRODUCTION1 In 2005 an attempt was made at enforcing international law against an American corporation said to be complicit in war crimes, extrajudicial killing and cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment committed by the Israeli military. The civil suit, brought in a U.S. court, was dismissed without a hearing, in a brief statement mainly citing reasons of political expedience. The claimants in Corrie et al v. Caterpillar2 include relatives of several Palestinians, and American peace activist Rachel Corrie, who were killed or injured in the process of house demolitions carried out using Caterpillar’s D9 and D10 bulldozers. They brought a civil suit in a U.S. court under the Alien Tort Claims Act,3 for breaches of international law, seeking compensatory damages and an order to enjoin Caterpillar’s sale of bulldozers to Israel until its military stops its practice of house demolitions. An appeal is pending and will be decided on in the latter half of 2006. * PhD Candidate, University College London and Coordinator, International Criminal Law at the Institute of Law, Birzeit University. 1 The author thanks Victor Kattan, Jason Beckett, Jörg Kammerhofer, Akbar Rasulov, André de Hoogh, Anne Massagee, Reem Al-Botmeh and Munir Nuseibah for their helpful comments and suggestions, and Maria LaHood of the Center for Constitutional Rights in New York for providing the documentation. Any mistakes are the author’s own. This article is an elaboration of a paper presented at the conference, “The Question of Palestine in International Law” at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, on 23-24 November 2005.

    Alison Phillips Editor, Daily Mirror Media Masters – September 26, 2018 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one to one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m here in Canary Wharf, London, and at the offices of the Daily Mirror, joined by their editor in chief, Alison Phillips. Previously in charge of the Sunday Mirror and Sunday People, she was also launch editor of New Day, the short-lived newspaper, in 2016. She also leads on addressing gender imbalance at Mirror publisher Reach, heading up their Women Together network, and is this year’s Society of Editor’s popular columnist of the year. Alison, thank you for joining me. Hi. Alison, you were appointed in March. It must have been an incredibly proud moment for you, how is it going? It’s going really well, I think. I hope. It’s been a busy few months, because obviously Reach has bought the Express as well, so there have been a lot of issues going on. But in terms of the actual paper at the Mirror, I hope, I feel, that we’re reaching a point of sustained confidence, which is so important for a paper. We’ve had some real success on campaigns, which I think is really our lifeblood. And I think we’re managing to energise the staff, which is absolutely essential for a well-functioning newspaper. Is it more managerial at the moment with the organisational challenges that you’ve been dealing with? Because you must, as the leader of the business, as the editor, you’ve got so many things you could be doing, you’ve got to choose, having to prioritise.

Like Primo and Zago, Lewis and Westlund argue that innovations in computational software require scholars of digital journalism to interrogate not simply who but what is involved in news production and to establish how non-human actants are disrupting established journalism practices (Primo and Zago, 2015: 38).

  • National Recognition of Our Armed Forces
    Report of Inquiry into National Recognition of our Armed Forces Report to the Prime Minister by: Quentin Davies MP Bill Clark OBE Ministry of Defence Air Commodore Martin Sharp OBE MA RAF Report of Inquiry into National Recognition of our Armed Forces Report to the Prime Minister by: Quentin Davies MP Bill Clark OBE Ministry of Defence Air Commodore Martin Sharp OBE MA RAF May 2008 Foreword Rt Hon Gordon Brown MP One of the greatest privileges I’ve enjoyed since becoming Prime Minister has been to spend time with the extraordinarily skilled and dedicated men and women of our Armed Forces, and to visit them on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their courage, their service and their professionalism make an immeasurable contribution both to building peace and stability around the world and to protecting our nation here at home. The Government is acutely aware of the debt we owe our Armed Forces, and our gratitude for the work they do in the service of our country is reflected in our recent initiatives on pay, on tax-free bonuses, on housing and on health care, as well as in our decision to commission a Command Paper on conditions of service and quality of life, which we will be publishing this summer. But beyond these individual initiatives, important though they are, it is vital for our serving men and women, especially those engaged in difficult and dangerous overseas campaigns, to know that the whole of Britain understands and appreciates the work that they do in our name. I believe the British public are fully behind the men and women of our Armed Forces, and people want to do more to pay tribute to them.

  • Accuracy, Independence, Impartiality
    Reuters Institute Fellowship Paper University of Oxford ACCURACY, INDEPENDENCE, AND IMPARTIALITY: How legacy media and digital natives approach standards in the digital age by Kellie Riordan Trinity Term 2014 Sponsor: Australian Broadcasting Corporation 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the digital age, one of the most complex challenges for media outlets is how to re- shape the editorial responsibilities of journalism itself. Which journalistic standards, many devised last century, still fit in the digital age? And which standards form the basis of a new type of journalism being pioneered by hybrid news sites that have come of age in the digital era? This paper focuses on the key editorial standards of accuracy, independence, and impartiality, and examines how these three principles are approached in the digital era. The paper then concentrates on three legacy organisations (the Guardian, the New York Times, and the BBC) and three digital outlets (Quartz, BuzzFeed, and Vice News) and the measures each outlet takes to uphold editorial integrity. Based on interviews with a wide range of industry experts, scholars and representatives of both traditional and new media, the paper asks two key questions: what can legacy organisations with hundreds of years of history learn from how digital natives approach standards? Which traditional journalistic standards held by legacy organisations should be more firmly adopted by newcomers? Finally, this paper argues a third form of journalism is emerging; one that combines the best of legacy standards with the new approaches of digital natives. Such a hybrid form requires a more streamlined, contemporary set of editorial standards that fit the internet era.

  • MICHAEL GOVE - MEETINGS with MEDIA ORGANISATIONS – 6 May 2010 – 15 July 2011
    MICHAEL GOVE - MEETINGS WITH MEDIA ORGANISATIONS – 6 May 2010 – 15 July 2011 This list sets out the Secretary of State’s meetings with senior media executives for the period May 2010-July 2011. This includes all meetings with proprietors, senior executives and editors of media organisations for both newspapers and broadcast media. It does not include those meetings with journalists that ended up in interviews that appeared in the public domain, either in newspapers and magazines. It may also exclude some larger social events at which senior media executives may have been present. This is the fullest possible list assembled from the Secretary of State’s Parliamentary diary, their departmental diary, personal diary and memory. Every effort has been taken to ensure that this is as accurate as possible but the nature of such an extensive exercise means something may have inadvertently got missed. Declaration of interest: The Secretary of State worked for the BBC from 1991 to 1995 and News International from 1996 to 2005. He wrote a weekly column for News International from 2005 to 2009. His wife currently works for The Times and has done so since 1998.
