Today there are 174 members of all important maritime states. The first task of IMO was to agree in 1960 on the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), the most important regulation dealing with all matters of marine safety. Workgroups of the IMO discuss and agree on specific matters, for example, the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC)

  • Freedom on the Net, Ukraine
    Ukraine https://freedomhouse.org/country/ukraine/freedom-net/2020 The COVID-19 pandemic saw the authorities prosecute users for spreading rumors online and launch several initiatives aimed at stopping the spread of the disease, including an app that monitors individuals in mandatory isolation, that infringe upon users’ privacy rights. Online journalists continued to face extralegal retaliation for their work. Cyberattacks remain a regular occurrence, affecting government and nongovernment targets alike. C1 1.00-6.00 pts0-6 pts Do the constitution or other laws fail to protect rights such as freedom of expression, access to 3.003 information, and press freedom, including on the internet, and are they enforced by a judiciary that 6.006 lacks independence? The right to free speech is granted to all citizens of Ukraine under Article 34 of the constitution, but the state may restrict this right in the interests of national security or public order, and it is sometimes restricted in practice. Article 15 of the constitution prohibits censorship.132 Ukrainian courts are hampered by corruption and political interference, and public trust in the judiciary remains low.133 Serious crimes against journalists often remain unresolved (see C7). President Zelenskyy’s administration has at times denied reporters access to information (see B5). The IMI recorded 21 COVID-19–related restrictions on the work of journalists from mid-March 2020 until the end of April 2020, including cases in which journalists were prohibited from attending government meetings or prevented from reporting.134 C2 1.00-4.00 pts0-4 pts Are there laws that assign criminal penalties or civil liability for online activities? 2.002 4.004 No dedicated law mandates criminal penalties or civil liability specifically for online activities.

  • Iacop Plenary Agenda 2021 Fnl.Pdf
    SMART INTERACTIVE TALK (SIT) PEMPAL IACOP Plenary Meeting INTERNAL AUDIT IN THE POST PANDEMIC RECOVERY with focus on Advisory Services, Agile Auditing, and Audit Committees May 27 and June 2, 2021, 13:00-16:00 (CET, Vienna time) CONTEXT This plenary meeting, in the format of a SIT, takes place more than a year since the IACOP’s last plenary. The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly challenged all of us and impacted our lives during that time. Nevertheless, with the great effort and flexibility demonstrated by IACOP leadership and its members, IACOP is holding up well in these extraordinary circumstances. It has been able to provide timely and stakeholder-oriented support through the organization of virtual events, joined IACOP- country events, and developed additional knowledge products. We all recognize that strong public services are essential both during the pandemic and in its aftermath. The entire public sector must seek to work effectively and efficiently, despite the pressures and challenges. Public authorities now more than ever must strive to meet their objectives. This requires more modern and efficient tools to be provided to management, to address their increased expectations regarding both internal control and internal audit. Facing many burning challenges, managers seek more advisory internal audit services. Central harmonization units and managers need more assurance on whether internal control operates properly. While maintaining a focus on public internal financial control implementation, the audit committee topic returns to PEMPAL countries’ reform agenda and as well to the IACOP agenda. To better fits clients’ expectations, agile auditing creates opportunities to transform audit processes, to better address the audit environment, and ultimately to create more value for the stakeholders of internal audit services.

  • 2019 Skopje Conference Feedback
    ISPI EMEA – The Performance Systems Network, Inc. 2019 Skopje Conference Feedback By Carol M. Panza Skopje was the site of another uniquely valuable ISPI EMEA event! But, don’t take my word for it! See what participants had to say. Introduction ISPI EMEA conferences are organized with a unique, highly interactive format and are maintained small in size to ensure maximum value to participants. Our 2019 conference in Skopje, N. Macedonia was a great example! We know this because we asked our participants for their thoughts on the value of the 18th ISPI EMEA conference!!! The following report contains a summary of what we heard from participants throughout the conference via verbal comments, during our traditional focus-group style Feedback Session at the end of the event, and by way of email messages we received after the conference. We have also shared a few candid photos, taken over the course of the three days from September 26 – 28, in Skopje. 2 Note that ISPI EMEA has a tradition of taking photos throughout our conferences and making video recordings of conference highlights, with a focus on the comments and reactions of conference participants. So, if you would like a little taste of what it was like to be with us in Skopje, take a moment to watch the 2019 video, which will be posted on the ISPI EMEA website as soon as it’s complete. This year’s conference was organized by the 2019 ISPI EMEA Board and Conference Committee, in cooperation with six (6) local partner organizations, very ably coordinated by ISPI EMEA Board Member, Tanja Georgievska, and supported by Patron Sponsor MMHA, the Managers’ Mentors, Inc.

  • EE LIMITED and (2) HUTCHISON 3G UK LIMITED
    SECOND DIVISION, INNER HOUSE, COURT OF SESSION [2021] CSIH 27 XA63/20 Lord Justice Clerk Lord Malcolm Lord Doherty OPINION OF THE COURT delivered by LORD MALCOLM in the appeal by (1) EE LIMITED and (2) HUTCHISON 3G UK LIMITED Appellants against JOHN STEWART DUNCAN Respondent Appellants: Barne QC; Shepherd and Wedderburn LLP Respondent: Upton; Davidson Chalmers Stewart LLP 7 May 2021 [1] This is an appeal against a decision of the Lands Tribunal for Scotland (the tribunal). The main issue concerns the proper approach to paragraph 33(14) of the Electronic Communications Code contained in schedule 3A to the Communications Act 2003, as amended by the Digital Economy Act 2017. This new code replaced the old code set out in schedule 2 to the Telecommunications Act 1984. In terms of transitional provisions the old code remains relevant to agreements made under it. 2 Background [2] In 2003 Mr John Stewart Duncan (the owner) entered into an agreement with EE Ltd, which that company subsequently assigned to itself and Hutchison 3G UK Ltd (the operators), granting certain rights to keep, operate and inspect telecommunications apparatus on a site at Wester Dullatur Farm, North Lanarkshire. After the expiry of the agreed term in 2012 the lease has continued from year to year by way of tacit relocation (a rule under Scots law whereby a lease will be extended beyond its agreed term if neither party serves a notice ending the agreement). [3] In 2018 the operators sought agreement as to a new lease containing provisions designed to update the agreement in accordance with the minimum provisions imposed by the new code, including assignation rights; ability to share and upgrade the facilities without additional payment; and a “no network scheme” basis for the assessment of rental and compensation (which would be less costly for the operators).

Telecommunications Provider Locator This report lists the contact information and the types of services sold by 5,364 telecommunications providers. The last report was released November 27, 2001.1 All information in this report is drawn from providers’ April 1, 2002, filing of the Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet (FCC Form 499-A).2 This report can be used by customers to identify and locate telecommunications providers, by telecommunications providers to identify and locate others in the industry, and by equipment vendors to identify potential customers. Virtually all providers of telecommunications must file FCC Form 499-A each year.3 These forms are not filed with the FCC but rather with the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), which serves as the data collection agent. Information from filings received after November 22, 2002, and from filings that were incomplete has been excluded from the tables. Although many telecommunications providers offer an extensive menu of services, each filer is asked on Line 105 of FCC Form 499-A to select the single category that best describes its telecommunications business.
