    MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT DRAFT SECTOR MEDIUM-TERM DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR 2014 - 2017 January 2014 Ministry of Transport SMTDP 2014-2017 Page 1 Ministry of Transport SMTDP 2014-2017 Page 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the first Draft of the Ministry of Transport Sector’s Medium Term Development Plan (SMTDP) which has been developed through a consultative process involving the Ministry of Transport and the transport sector Agencies over which it has oversight responsibility. Led by the Ministry, the process commenced in April with consultations and briefings, progressed through August. This SMTDP broadly follows the guidelines and structure proposed by NDPC although, in a search for more detailed and relevant guidance. Chapter 3 looked at the challenges typically presented by the sector to discover the underlying reasons particularly for the perpetually reported ‘lack of financing’, the policy objectives and strategies of the sector. Every effort has been made to harmonize the performance review undertaken in Chapters 1 and 2 with: The sector objectives set out in the Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda (GSGDA); the analysis undertaken as part of the Integrated Transport Planning (ITP) project; and the annual performance and operational reviews undertaken by the Agencies. The transport sector benefits from alignment between the objectives set out in the GSGDA with the policy goals and objectives set out in the National Transport Policy (NTP). Chapter 3, provides the adopted policy objectives and strategies from the National Medium Term Development framework 2014-2017 to achieve MDA and National goals in relation to the appropriate theme and also make development projections for 2014-2017 It is the intent of the Ministry and its Agencies to update and integrate more of the ITP recommendations into future plans for the sector.

AND INITIAL REPORT UNDER THE PROTOCOL TO THE AFRICAN CHARTER ON THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN IN AFRICA August 2018 1 THE REPUBLIC OF THE GAMBIA’S COMBINED REPORT ON THE AFRICAN CHARTER ON HUMAN & PEOPLES’ RIGHTS & INITIAL REPORT ON THE PROTOCOL TO THE AFRICAN CHARTER ON THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN IN AFRICA PREFACE The Republic of The Gambia is committed to the progressive realization of the rights and freedoms of all persons as well as the duties enshrined in the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights through the creation of appropriate policy, legislative, judicial, administrative and budgetary measures. It is against this background that this Combined Periodic Report seeks to highlight the measures adopted in the implementation of the rights enshrined in the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) since 1994, identify the progress made as well as the constraints encountered. During the period under review (1994-2018), The Republic of The Gambia has had to contend with a very checkered history in the bid to fulfill its obligation to promote and protect human rights. Admittedly, numerous challenges had to be overcome in the effective realization of the promotion and protection of these rights. The Ministry of Justice takes this opportunity to express its appreciation to the distinguished Commissioners of the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights and hope that the distinguished experts will appreciate the progress made so far, the determinations being made to overcome the highlighted challenges and continue to support The Gambia’s obligation to sustain the promotion and protection of human and peoples’ rights in the overall interest of all Gambians.

  • Globaler Airline-Newsletter Von Berlinspotter.De
    Globaler Airline-Newsletter von Berlinspotter.de Sehr geehrte Leser, Hiermit erhalten Sie als PDF die europäischen und globalen Airline-News aus dem Bearbeitungszeitraum 2. bis 15. April – unterteilt in die Update-Blöcke der Premium- Version (ein Wechsel ist jederzeit möglich). Ich danke Ihnen für die Unterstützung des einzigen deutschsprachigen Luftfahrt- Newsletter. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Oliver Pritzkow Webmaster Berlinspotter.de --- 5.4. --- EUROPA Aegean Airlines stellte eine 737-300 (SX-BGW, msn 29264) außer Dienst. Sie ging an Deutsche Structured Finance zurück. Im Gegenzug übernahm man einen werksneuen Airbus A320-200 (SX-DVM, msn 3439). Air Baltic erhielt eine ex-Air Berlin 737-300 (YL-BBJ, msn 30333) per Leasing von Boullioun Aviation Services. Air Berlin bekommt einen neuen Großaktionär. Access Industries wird den Anteil der Vatas-Tochter Haarlem One in Höhe von 18,56 % übernehmen. Vatas war erst im Januar 2008 bei Air Berlin eingestiegen und hatte ihren Anteil rasch erhöht. Allerdings liegt das Aktienpaket derzeit bei der NordLB. Diese hatte vom Pfandrecht Gebrauch gemacht und sich als Sicherheit für geplatzte Aktiengeschäfte mit Vatas dieses Paket geholt. Access Industries gehört dem russischstämmigen US-Milliardär Leonard Blawatnik. Weitere Beteiligungen sind der british-russische Ölförderer TNK- BP sowie der russische Aluminiumkonzern Rusal. Die Air Berlin-Aktie legte zunächst um fast 10 5 % zu, nachdem sie erst wenige Tage zuvor aufgrund einer gesenkten Gewinnprognose einbrach. Als die Pfändung des Aktienpakets bekannt wurde, sank sie auf 5 %. Air France nahm am 1. April die erste Route unter dem neuen USA-Europa- OpenSky-Abkommen auf. Vom Flughafen London Heathrow hob man in Kooperation mit Partner Delta Air Lines zum ersten Direktflug nach Los Angeles ab.

The Article challenges the international community to take a mental leap by recognizing that the contemporary version of official corruption is so fundamentally different from its historical antecedents that it de- serves to (a) be called a different name: indigenous spoliation or patrimonicide; and (b), to be treated as an extraordinary crime that rises up to the level of a crime against humanity.
