The U.S. government’s attitude is that immigrants should be responsible for their own resettlement. Catholic Social Teaching establishes needs related to resettlement as basic human rights. How do Jubilee House and Our Lady of Sorrows, both Catholic faith-based organizations in Hartford, Connecticut, fill in the gaps between state-provided services and the norms of human rights? What are the implications of immigrant accommodation via faith-based social justice for the human rights discourse on citizenship and cultural relevance? A formal, exploratory case study of each of these FBOs, over a 3-month period, provide us with some answers to these questions.

I relate various tribal reactions to the tragedy of cultural genocide as experienced by those indigenous groups within the "Black Hole" of Southwest Oregon. My desire is to provide an "inside" (ernie) perspective on the history and cultural changes of Southwest Oregon. I explain Native responses to living primarily in a non-Indian world, after the nearly total loss of aboriginal Coquelle culture and tribal identity through v decimation by disease, warfare, extermination, and cultural genocide through the educational policies of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S.

    Guide to U.S. Government Export Programs and Resources for Trade and Investment

    GUIDE TO U.S. GOVERNMENT EXPORT PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES FOR TRADE AND INVESTMENT International markets are an essential part of many companies’ growth strategies. Having expert knowledge and meaningful support available at all stages of the international buying and selling process, from initial efforts to identify potential markets all the way to factoring receipts, can mean the difference between a thriving business and one that never quite gets off the ground. The United States Government (USG) offers a variety of resources to African and United States companies that want to trade with and invest in one another’s markets. This document is a “one-stop shop” that outlines the major USG programs and resources available to these companies. It also provides links, brief descriptions, and comments to help companies decide if a resource might be useful. This guide also provides brief capsule descriptions of the principal USG departments and agencies involved in international trade and development. These descriptions can help businesspeople understand the different roles that these entities play in international trade.

  • The Thirteenth Dalai Lama on Warfare, Weapons, and the Right to Self-Defense

    The Thirteenth Dalai Lama on Warfare, Weapons, and the Right to Self-Defense

    THE THIRTEENTH DALAI LAMA ON WARFARE, WEAPONS, AND THE RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENSE Federica Venturi I would like to express sincere gratitude to the colleagues and friends who have contributed in various ways to bring this article to completion. The topic of the subject was inspired by a talk given by Dr. Shun Hidaka of Otani University at the XIII Seminar of the IATS in Ulaan Baatar. Gedun Rabsal helped with the translation of the passages that were most cryptic. Frank Drauschke of the historical research institute Facts & Files, in Berlin, provided an advance copy of documents he has collected for his forthcoming publication Who was Who in Tibet. Dr. Alice Travers of the French National Center for Scientific Research helped with the translation of several Tibetan terms identifying weapons. Last but not least, I would like to thank the editor of this volume, Roberto Vitali, assisted by Gedun Rabsal and Nicole Willock, for much patience and collaboration. One of the recurrent themes of Professor Sperling’s lectures on the different aspects of Tibetan history highlighted the existence of mechanisms for sanctioning violence in every religion, including Buddhism. Today this religion is considered the paradigm of a nonviolent and pacifist mindset, particularly in its Tibetan manifestation. Similarly, Tibet’s spiritual leader, the XIV Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, symbolizes the commitment of Tibetan Buddhism to nonviolence, both on account of his Nobel Peace Prize and as a constant champion of the Tibetan cause of “true autonomy” within the People’s Republic of China through ahiṃsā. However, throughout its history, even Tibetan Buddhism has not been immune from the use of violence or warfare, activities that are in conflict with the fundamental Buddhist precept of abstaining from killing any living being.1 Moreover, these activities were both perpetrated and endorsed in various ways by the higher echelons of the Tibetan Buddhist hierarchy.

    His Excellency The President of the Republic of Ghana c/o Presidency Secretariat Office of the President Jubilee House Accra 8 July 2020 By email Dear Mr President, CONCERNED PERSONS RESPOND TO PRESIDENCY CONCERNING AUDITOR- GENERAL We, the undersigned, hereby wish to register our deepest concern over the recent steps taken by the Presidency in relation to the Auditor-General of Ghana. The decision to require the Auditor-General to take enforced leave of office based on his accumulated holiday entitlement is – with the greatest respect to the Presidency – an unconstitutional and flagrant interference with the independence and mandate of the Office of Auditor-General. We call on the Presidency to reconsider this decision as a matter of urgency, and allow the Auditor-General to proceed unimpeded in his important work. The Auditor-General’s Independence is Guaranteed by the Constitution Article 187 (7) (a) of the Constitution states: In the performance of his functions under this Constitution or any other law the Auditor-General - (a) shall not be subject to the direction or control of any other person or authority; [Emphasis added] 1 This provision is clear and unambiguous. The framers of our Constitution limited the President’s powers over the Auditor General to the power to “acting in accordance with the advice of the Council of State, request(ing) the Auditor-General in the public interest, to audit, at any particular time, the accounts of any (public) body or organisation as is referred to in clause (2) of this article (187).[1]” [Emphasis added]. Furthermore, the Constitution prescribes that the “The salary and allowances payable to the Auditor-General, his rights in respect of leave of absence, retiring award or retiring age shall not be varied to his disadvantage during his tenure of office”[2].
