(since the 1996 edition); Prof. Pál Dunay, Deputy Director of the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs, Budapest; Dr Adam Daniel Rotfeld, Director of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute; and Prof. Andrei Zagorski, Deputy Director of the Moscow State Institute for International Relations. The encouraging reception of the German version of the OSCE Yearbook in- duced us to offer an English version in order to make the OSCE Yearbook available to a broader community of readers interested in detailed informa- tion and first-hand analyses on the OSCE process. Consequently, we present a translated version of the OSCE Yearbook 1996, supplemented by some articles from the Yearbook 1995, indicated by an as- terisk and a respective footnote. While minor details may have become overtaken by events, we are con- vinced that this is more than outweighed by the substance and validity of the essays. Beginning with the 1997 issue, an English version of the OSCE Yearbook will appear on a regular basis. 11 Flavio Cotti Preface The publication of the second volume of the OSCE Yearbook is taking place at a time when the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe is undergoing significant change and facing new kinds of challenges. Thus it is especially worthwhile to have a new collection of knowledgeable articles which provide critical comment on these changes while at the same time of- fering suggestions and ideas. The many smouldering conflicts in the Balkans, the Caucasus and Central Asia have made conflict prevention the most important practical activity of the OSCE. Very soon after the division of Europe ended, the OSCE created original instruments and methods for reacting to tensions at the earliest possi- ble time. Its international presence can prevent escalation and contribute to peaceful solutions. Conflict prevention is always particularly effective when the underlying tensions do not become manifest and, hence, do not engage the awareness of the public at large. Half a decade after the end of the Cold War, Europe's security structures have still not been firmly established. International relations and the relevant security organizations are still in transition. One thing has become clear, however: today, security and stability can no longer rest on military factors alone but must also include political, economic and social dimensions. Over the long term, we will only have security and stability in Europe if we suc- ceed in eliminating the causes of tensions not just between countries but also within them - between citizens and their governments or between segments of the population. I personally regard the establishment of civil societies as one of the most im- portant ways of preventing conflicts at their roots. I am convinced that this will be one of the central tasks of the OSCE in the future. Civil societies are resistant to the new threats, which are growing in significance, such as ag- gressive nationalism, racism, intolerance and organized crime - threats which jeopardize human rights and cannot be dealt with by the resources of states alone. The problems we encounter are different from one country and region to another. But there is hardly a society which is not somehow affected by these new risks. This is a realm in which the OSCE, with its broad geograph- ic framework of cooperation, can continue to make a significant contribution in the future. 13 Wilhelm Höynck Preface* I'am pleased to present the first edition of an OSCE Yearbook to our readers. The publication of this Yearbook occurs at a time when we can celebrate the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Helsinki Final Act. In 1975 the Heads of State or Government of 35 European and North American states initiated the CSCE process. The Final Act has provided millions of people with hope for a better future and with the courage to stand up for their human rights and for liberty. This was the most important contribution of the CSCE process to a peaceful democratic change and to the overcoming of the bloc confronta- tion. Back in 1989, however, the CSCE States already realized that after the end of the East-West confrontation a pan-European security space would need new comprehensive security arrangements. Therefore the basis for a new, operative CSCE was created by the Charter of Paris in 1990. Twenty years after the signing of the Helsinki Final Act we must not restrict ourselves to a mere reflection of the past. We have to look into the future, at the tasks confronting the OSCE today as well as tomorrow. Europe and the whole OSCE area are facing serious challenges. During half a century the East-West conflict was the decisive factor of almost all our problems, starting with local conflicts up to questions of world economy. Now, however, we are confronted with a great number of conflicts and crises that are caused by a multitude of local or regional problems. How can we find answers to these new - and in many cases very old - questions? Which standard should be applied to decide what is important enough to involve the international community? These questions elude a uniform, general answer. We need spe- cific case-to-case-solutions. At the moment we are in the middle of a process of development and adjustment of the instruments and institutions, that are necessary to find such solutions. The OSCE is no exception to that rule. It is also still defining its role in the identification, prevention and overcoming of crises. Yet, crisis management actually is not the central task of the OSCE. The great political challenge nowadays rather is to create a new and perma- nent stability in the OSCE area as a whole.

We find that serving in Parliament roughly doubled the wealth at death of Conservative MPs but had no discernible effect on the wealth of Labour MPs. We argue that Conservative MPs profited from office in a lax regulatory environment by using their political positions to obtain out- side work as directors, consultants, and lobbyists, both while in office and after retirement.

  • Visiting Parliamentary Fellowship Celebrating 25 Years 1994-2019
    VISITING PARLIAMENTARY FELLOWSHIP CELEBRATING 25 YEARS 1994-2019 St Antony's College 1 Roger Goodman, Warden of St Antony’s At a recent breakfast with the students, it was decided that the College should do more to advertise what distinguished it from other colleges in Oxford. St Antony’s is: The Oxford college founded by a Frenchman The Oxford college with two Patron Saints (St Antony of Egypt and St Antony of Padua) The Oxford college where almost 90% of the 500 graduate students are from outside UK and the alumni come from 129 countries The Oxford college with international influence: ‘In the mid-2000s, 5% of the world’s foreign ministers had studied at St Antony’s’ (Nick Cohen, The Guardian, 8 Nov, 2015) The Oxford college mentioned in the novels of both John Le Carré and Robert Harris The Oxford college which holds the most weekly academic seminars and workshops The Oxford college with two award-winning new buildings in the past decade To this list can be added: St Antony’s is the Oxford college with a Visiting Parliamentary Fellowship (VPF). There is no other Oxford college that can boast such a list of parliamentarians responsible for a seminar programme over such a long period of time. The College is immensely proud of the Fellowship and greatly indebted to all those who have held it over the past 25 years. We were very grateful to those who have were able to come to the 25th anniversary celebration of the Fellowship programme at the House of Commons on 24 April 2019 and for the many generous letters from those who could not.

  • Freemasonry, a Secret Society
    Freemasonry, a Secret Society Freemasonry is a world-wide secret society, whose members look after each other, making themselves know to each other with childish handshakes. At their secret meetings they take stupid oaths, all uttered by fully grown, supposedly intelligent men. Freemason’s can be Politicians, Royalty, Police Officers, company chairmen, bank managers, all men in responsible positions, also electricians, plumbers and bricklayers, and also include paedophiles, murderers all behaving like retarded children in Disneyland. These are just two well-known Freemasons: Adolph Hitler Andre Brevik (Murderer of millions of Jews and others) (Norwegian mass murders) 1 | P a g e Here are just a few of these childish oaths taken; "having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by its roots, and my body buried in the rough sands of the sea at low water mark, "having my left breast torn open, my heart plucked out, and given to the wild beasts of the field and the fowls of the air." "to have my body cut in two, my bowels removed and burned to ashes which are then to be scattered to the four winds of heaven." Yes! All uttered in real seriousness by supposedly intelligent men! – Totally unbelievable! Freemasonry, following pages shows the childish handshakes and the nonsense oaths undertaken by supposedly intelligent men? Also of course they have to wear regalia, here it is; Grown, intelligent men wearing stupid aprons! Is it any wonder the worlds in a mess?
