  • Press Release
    Permanent Mission of Palau to the United Nations PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 26, 2006 THE PACIFIC TAKES A STAND ON BOTTOM TRAWLING Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Jointly Back Bottom Trawling Bans NEW YORK, NY—The Heads of State and Government of the sixteen Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) countries took an unmistakably decisive stand today against destructive bottom trawling at the thirty-sixth annual leaders meeting in Nadi, Fiji. The Nadi Declaration commits the PIF countries to advocate for prohibitions on bottom trawling and other destructive fishing practices in international waters until appropriate conservation and management measures are in place. All eyes are now on the crucial negotiations next month with distant-water countries over proposed regional fisheries management organizations for the Pacific and over a proposed United Nations moratorium on unregulated deep sea bottom trawling. "Bottom trawling is a very destructive practice which exposes our fish stocks and our biodiversity as a whole to serious risk,” said Palau’s President Tommy E. Remengesau, Jr., who first raised the issue at last year’s PIF leaders meeting. “Unregulated deep sea bottom trawling must be stopped before irreversible damage is done.” The UN Secretary-General reported recently that it is believed that bottom trawling causes 95% percent of worldwide damage to seamount ecosystems. For the deep seas, large factory trawlers raze the bottom by dragging weighted nets and beams across it to catch the fish swimming just above. Bottom trawlers tend to target areas with vulnerable coral habitat and ecosystems since deep water fish aggregate around coral-rich seamounts to feed and breed.

  • Declaration on Civility and Inclusive Leadership
    DeclarPages08_finalALTS:Layout 1 4/25/08 11:32 AM Page 1 CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF THE PRESIDENCY Declaration on Civility and Inclusive Leadership THIRD EDITION he coming years demand greatness from our nation’s leaders and our citizens, as we navigate the significant domestic and international challenges that threaten our nation’s security and long-term prosperity. The difficulty of this task is magnified by our country’s political divisions, for today we are too much a house divided. Yet, if we unite to turn challenges into opportunities and pursue common goals, we surely will write another great chapter in America’s history. Civility and inclusive leadership are proven means of bridging political divisions and forging national unity and commitment. National resolve and unity of purpose are essential for marshalling the best talent, regardless of party affiliation, and are the elements required to develop a strategic consensus on the way forward. Civility does not require citizens to give up cherished beliefs or “dilute” their convictions. Rather, it requires respect, listening, and trust when interacting with those who hold differing viewpoints. Indeed, civility and inclusive leadership have often been exercised in the American experience as a means of moving to higher, common ground and developing more creative approaches to realize shared aspirations. Accordingly, the National Committee to Unite a Divided America strongly urges America’s leaders to draw strength and wisdom from our nation’s greatest achievements arising from inclusiveness

The ocean is under threat, and humanity’s approach to it is uncontrolled. Benign neglect It is no exaggeration that all life on Earth, including our own by the majority, and active abuse by the minority, have fuelled a survival, depends on a healthy, vibrant ocean. Containing an cycle of decline. No single body shoulders responsibility for ocean almost unfathomable diversity of life, billions of us rely on it for health, and an absence of accountability is characterised by blind food, clean air, a stable climate, rain and fresh water, transport exploitation of resources and a wilful lack of care. We call this the and energy, recreation and livelihoods. cycle of decline. Our ocean is in decline. Habitat destruction, biodiversity loss, Through consideration of the latest scientific and political analysis, overfishing, pollution, climate change and ocean acidification are we have identified proposals for action. These both sound a pushing the ocean system to the point of collapse. Governance warning and indicate what needs to be done.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2011 Dedicated to the memory of Trustee The Honorable Charles T. Manatt friend, supporter, visionary. He is deeply missed. Chairman and President’s Message Meridian is building on the momentum of our 50th anniversary by launching new programs and projects that propel our leadership into the 21st century. Our traditional programs of exchange, exhibitions, seminars, and gatherings are all strengthened and revitalized by new technological applications that enable us to access more audiences, broaden our outreach, and expand our knowledge base. Meridian is the one place in Washington, D.C. where you can find leadership preparation, educational exchanges, and networks that circle the globe. We continue to focus on our mission to create innovative exchange, educational, cultural, and policy programs in order to advance three goals: • Strengthen U.S. engagement with the world through the power of exchange; • Prepare public and private sector leaders for a complex global future; and • Provide a neutral forum for international collaboration across sectors. In 2011, we expanded our reach through projects and partnerships such as: • An historic U.S.-China cultural initiative that builds bridges of understanding at a critical time for the U.S.- China relationship; • A Meridian India Initiative that forges new ties between U.S. and Indian business, political, and civil society leaders; • A Memorandum of Understanding signed with Washington D.C.’s Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center to partner on convening larger conferences and events, promote business and trade relation- ships, and highlight cultural opportunities. 2011 also brought successes such as the new U.S.-France Strategic Dialogue and programs like Insights at Meridian, which serve the diplomatic community here in Washington, D.C.
