  • The Right to Peace, Which Occurred on 19 December 2016 by a Majority of Its Member States
    In July 2016, the Human Rights Council (HRC) of the United Nations in Geneva recommended to the General Assembly (UNGA) to adopt a Declaration on the Right to Peace, which occurred on 19 December 2016 by a majority of its Member States. The Declaration on the Right to Peace invites all stakeholders to C. Guillermet D. Fernández M. Bosé guide themselves in their activities by recognizing the great importance of practicing tolerance, dialogue, cooperation and solidarity among all peoples and nations of the world as a means to promote peace. To reach this end, the Declaration states that present generations should ensure that both they and future generations learn to live together in peace with the highest aspiration of sparing future generations the scourge of war. Mr. Federico Mayor This book proposes the right to enjoy peace, human rights and development as a means to reinforce the linkage between the three main pillars of the United Nations. Since the right to life is massively violated in a context of war and armed conflict, the international community elaborated this fundamental right in the 2016 Declaration on the Right to Peace in connection to these latter notions in order to improve the conditions of life of humankind. Ambassador Christian Guillermet Fernandez - Dr. David The Right to Peace: Fernandez Puyana Past, Present and Future The Right to Peace: Past, Present and Future, demonstrates the advances in the debate of this topic, the challenges to delving deeper into some of its aspects, but also the great hopes of strengthening the path towards achieving Peace.

  • Concrete-Like Till: a Scientific and Economic Problem
    87 CONCRETE-LIKE TILL: A SCIENTIFIC AND ECONOMIC PROBLEM JARI NENONEN, PETER JOHANSSON, ESKO KONTAS, ESKO KORKIAKOSKI, MIKKO KVIST and SEPPO ROSSI NENONEN, JARI, JOHANSSON, PETER, KONTAS, ESKO, KORKIAKOSKI, ESKO, KVIST, MIKKO and ROSSI, SEPPO 2000. Concrete-like till, a scien- tific and economic problem. Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland 72, Parts 1–2, 87–96. In Finland, extremely compact and hard, concrete-like basal till, a type rare to the country, occurs in the district of Haukipudas on the coast of Northern Ostrobothnia. The cause of cementation is not its age but rather the composi- tion of the underlying bedrock, which consists of pyrrhotite- and pyrite-bearing black schists. During intense erosion under the ice sheet, a large amount of ma- terial derived from this was released into the overlying basal till. Rapid oxida- tion of sulphide grains in the till began as a consequence of uplift of the area above sea level and the lowering of the groundwater surface. Sulphide was oxi- dised to sulphate and ferrous iron became ferric, which precipitated as ferric hydroxide. As this initially water-rich gel-like ferric hydroxide formed, it en- closed the till clasts and mineral grains. With water loss it hardened and ce- mented the till into a concrete-like mass.
