Lettre Conjointe De 1.080 Parlementaires De 25 Pays Européens Aux Gouvernements Et Dirigeants Européens Contre L'annexion De La Cisjordanie Par Israël
Lettre conjointe de 1.080 parlementaires de 25 pays européens aux gouvernements et dirigeants européens contre l'annexion de la Cisjordanie par Israël 23 juin 2020 Nous, parlementaires de toute l'Europe engagés en faveur d'un ordre mondial fonde ́ sur le droit international, partageons de vives inquietudeś concernant le plan du president́ Trump pour le conflit israeló -palestinien et la perspective d'une annexion israélienne du territoire de la Cisjordanie. Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par le preć edent́ que cela creerait́ pour les relations internationales en geń eral.́ Depuis des decennies,́ l'Europe promeut une solution juste au conflit israeló -palestinien sous la forme d'une solution a ̀ deux Etats,́ conformement́ au droit international et aux resolutionś pertinentes du Conseil de securit́ e ́ des Nations unies. Malheureusement, le plan du president́ Trump s'ecarté des parametres̀ et des principes convenus au niveau international. Il favorise un controlê israelień permanent sur un territoire palestinien fragmente,́ laissant les Palestiniens sans souverainete ́ et donnant feu vert a ̀ Israel̈ pour annexer unilateralement́ des parties importantes de la Cisjordanie. Suivant la voie du plan Trump, la coalition israelienné recemment́ composeé stipule que le gouvernement peut aller de l'avant avec l'annexion des̀ le 1er juillet 2020. Cette decisioń sera fatale aux perspectives de paix israeló -palestinienne et remettra en question les normes les plus fondamentales qui guident les relations internationales, y compris la Charte des Nations unies. Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par l'impact de l'annexion sur la vie des Israelienś et des Palestiniens ainsi que par son potentiel destabilisateuŕ dans la regioń aux portes de notre continent. -

News Ministers and Secretaries Bill 2011 to Establish New Department
News Ministers and Secretaries Bill 2011 to establish new Department The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Brendan Howlin TD, has published the Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2011. This Bill provides the legislative basis which will allow for the formal establishment of Department for Public Expenditure and Reform. The Bill facilitates the transfer of certain functions from the Minister of Finance to the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform specifically all functions relating to the public service. Public service reform functions, including modernisation functions will also be placed on a statutory footing. Responsibility for managing public expenditure will also be transferred to the new Department including the management of gross voted expenditure and the annual estimates process. The Department will also be allocated general sanctioning powers in relation to expenditure and policy matters. The minister for finance will retain responsibility for budgetary parameters. A number of the offices currently under the remit of the Department of Finance will also be moved to the new Department including the Valuation Office, State Laboratory, Commissioners of Public Works, Public Appointments Service and the Commission for Public Service Appointments. The new Department will also take over modernisation, development and reform functions. The Minister stated that he hoped the “legislation will be given priority status in its passage through the Oireachtas.” The mission statement on the new Departments newly created website outlines its goals as being “to achieve the Government’s social and economic goals by ensuring the effective management of taxpayers’ money and the delivery of quality public services that meet the needs of citizens”. -

I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. Signed: _________________________________ Lisa Keenan Date: _________________________________ 3 4 Acknowledgements This project was made possible only through the generous contribution of the supporters of Trinity’s Grattan Scholars programme. Particular thanks must go to Mr. John Pearson whose funding of a project seven years ago introduced me to research and whose continued generosity has allowed me to stick with it. Prof. John O’Hagan too has been unstinting in his support first as a lecturer, then as a supervisor and a mentor. I am very grateful. I must also thank my supervisor, Prof. Gail McElroy, for her support and her unerring ability to identify exactly what was wrong with my work when I could no longer see the trees for the wood. Her calm in the face of the perpetual reconceptualization of my project was unparalleled. Thanks must also go to the academics across college who were kind enough to sacrifice some of their lecture time to allow me to survey their students: Dr. -
