It was the first think tank to be established in France, as the concept didn’t exist in the country before Ifri’s creation in 1979. Secondly, today it is the only one in France to be at the forefront of international rankings, while also fully maintaining its French identity. Specializing in the rational study of international relations in the broadest, Ifri examines the planet’s major regional and crosscutting issues, and seeks to structure ensuing discussions. Its policy-oriented research generally targets a medium-term time horizon. Ifri’s work draws it towards political, economic, media and academic partners. Over time, its relationship with businesses and companies has become increasingly important. Free from administrative supervision and ideologically uncommitted, Ifri seeks to diversify its financing and maintain the objectivity of its research, without ever losing sight of the public interest and the need for openness. Ifri's researchers work on the ground and across various networks, and are frequently called upon by both traditional and social media outlets.

  • Parliamentary Assembly
    International Campaign for the Establishment of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly Appeal for the establishment of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly Appeal text • Signatories by country Statistics 15 April 2007 www.unpacampaign.org APPEAL FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY AT THE UNITED NATIONS Humanity faces the task of ensuring the survival and well being of future generations as well as the preservation of the natural foundations of life on Earth. We are covinced that in order to cope with major challenges such as social disparity, proliveration of weapons of mass destruction, the threat of terrorism or the endangerment of global ecosystems, all human beings must engage in collaborative efforts. To ensure international cooperation, secure the acceptance and to enhance the legitimacy of the United Nations and strengthen its capacity to act, people must be more effectively and directly included into the activities of the United Nations and its international organizations. They must be allowed to participate better in the UN’s activities. We therefore recommend a gradual implementation of democratic participation and representation on the global level. We conceive the establishment of a consultative Parliamentary Assembly at the United Nations as an indispensable step. Without making a change of the UN Charter necessary in the first step, a crucial link between the UN, the organizations of the UN system, the governments, national parliaments and civil society can be achieved through such an assembly. Such an assembly would not simply be a new institution; as the voice of citizens, the assembly would be the manifestation and vehicle of a changed consciousness and understanding of international politics.

  • Afghanistan Page 1 of 23
    Afghanistan Page 1 of 23 Afghanistan Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2001 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 4, 2002 Afghanistan has experienced civil war and political instability for 22 years. There was no functioning central government, until December 22, 2001 when the Afghan Interim Administration (AIA) took office. During most of the year, the Taliban, a Pashtun-dominated ultra-conservative Islamic movement, controlled approximately 90 percent of the country, including the capital of Kabul, and all major urban areas, except Faizabad. In 1997 the Taliban issued an edict renaming the country the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, and named its leader, Mullah Omar, Head of State and Commander of the Faithful, granting him ultimate authority. Omar headed the inner Shura (Council), located in the southern city of Kandahar. The Taliban's power structure reportedly narrowed during the year, and its principal consultative bodies, the Shuras, reportedly no longer functioned. Until October 7, a rival regime, the Islamic State of Afghanistan (generally known as the Northern Alliance or United Front), which nominally was headed by former Afghanistan President Burhanuddin Rabbani, an ethnic Tajik, controlled about 10 percent of the country. Rabbani and his chief military commander, Ahmed Shah Masood, for most of the year, controlled the majority Tajik areas in the country's extreme northeast. The Rabbani regime controlled most of the country's embassies and retained Afghanistan's U.N. seat after the U.N. General Assembly again deferred a decision on Afghanistan's credentials. A number of provincial administrations maintained limited functions, but civil institutions were rudimentary.
