  • History of Economic and Monetary Union
    Dear Reader, Ahead of the Referendum on the European Union I am compiling a series of fact sheets covering various topics of interest to constituents to allow for a more informed decision when it comes to making your decision to stay in or leave the EU. For further information, visit www.juliegirling.com Julie Girling MEP History of economic and monetary union Economic and monetary union (EMU) is the result of progressive economic integration in the EU. It is an expansion of the EU single market, with common product regulations and free movement of goods, capital, labour and services. A common currency, the euro, has been introduced in the eurozone, which currently comprises 19 EU Member States. All 28 EU Member States — with the exception of the UK and Denmark — must adopt the euro after a minimum of two years’ participation in ERM II and fulfilment of the convergence criteria. A single monetary policy is set by the European Central Bank (ECB) and is complemented by harmonised fiscal and coordinated economic policies. Within EMU there is no single institution responsible for economic policy. Instead, the responsibility is divided between Member States and various EU institutions. Legal basis Decisions of the European Summits of The Hague (1969), Paris (1972), Brussels (1978), Hanover (1988), Madrid and Strasbourg (both 1989), and Maastricht (1991-1992); Articles 119-144, 219 and 282-284 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU); Protocols annexed to the TFEU on: the transition to the third stage of economic and monetary union; the excessive deficit and macroeconomic imbalances procedures; the convergence criteria; the opt-out clauses for the United Kingdom and Denmark; and the European System of Central Banks and the European Central Bank, as well as the Eurogroup Objectives EMU is the result of progressive economic integration, and is therefore not an end in itself.

And I am eternally grateful towards my family who have supported me every step of the way to be where I am today. i Abstract This thesis conducts and evaluative research as to whether or not UN peacekeeping forces and UN humanitarian interventions are effective and viable as tools for human rights enforcement. This thesis analyses three important UN operations that have had an impact into the creation of the UN peacekeeping system in place today. It finds that while UN peacekeeping may be effective in enforcing human rights depending on the conflict, it lacks in viability due to the application system and legal framework surrounding the use of enforcement action. ii Glossary AMISOM = African Union Mission in Somalia AU = African Union CDR = Coalition for the Defence of the Republic DMZ = De- Militarised Zone ICESCR = International Covenant on Economic,Social and Cultural Rights Inter alia = Among other things MINUSMA = United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilisation Mission in Mali NMOG = Neutral Military Observer Group RPF = Rwandan Patriotic Front UK = United Kingdom UN = United Nations UNAMIR = United Nations Assistance Mission in Rwanda UNEF = United Nations Emergency Force UNITAF = Unified Task Force UNMIH = United Nations Mission in Haiti UNOMUR = United Nations Observer Mission in Uganda Rwanada UNOSOM = United Nations Operations in Somalia UNSOM = United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia UNSOS = United Nations Support Office in Somalia US = United States iii Table of Contents Acknowledgments .........................................................................................................................

  • Making the Case for Conflict Bifurcation in Afghanistan
    VIII Making the Case for Conflict Bifurcation in Mghanistan: Transnational Armed Conflict, al Qaida and the Limits of the Associated Militia Concept Geoffrey S. Corn* n response to a Committee for Human Rights inquiry related to the targeted I killing of an alleged al Qaida operative in Yemen, the United States asserted: The Government of the United States respectfully submits that inquiries related to allegations stemming from any military operations conducted during the course of an armed conflict with AI Qaidado not fall within the mandate of the Special Rapporteur. AI Qaida and related terrorist networks are at war with the United States . Despite coalition success in Afghanistan and around the world, the war is far from over. The AI Qaida network today is a multinational enterprise with operations in more than 60 countries.l • Associate Professor of Law, South Texas College of Law. Making the Case for Conflict Bifurcation in Afghanistan This assertion of the existence of an armed conflict between al Qaida and the United States was both dear and emphatic, specifically rejecting the proposition that the killing was governed by human rights norms. It also represents what many believe is a radical theory of law: that an armed conflict can exist between a State and a transnational non-State entity.2 In no location has this latter proposition been more contested than in Afghan­ istan. Although al Qaida may very well operate in over sixty countries around the world, the reality is that almost all the US military effort directed against that en­ emy has occurred in Afghanistan, where much of that effort has been intertwined with the effort to defeat the Taliban armed forces.

  • An Invitation to Join the Io Bio Project
    AN INVITATION TO JOIN THE IO BIO PROJECT BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY OF SECRETARIES-GENERAL OF INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS Bob Reinalda, Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands and Kent Kille, The College of Wooster, United States March 2011 IO BIO WEBSITE: www.ru.nl/fm/reinalda, then IO BIO E-mail: [email protected] The IO BIO Project aims at setting up, editing, and publishing a Biographical Dictionary of Secretaries- General of International Organizations (IO BIO). The idea was launched at a roundtable meeting at the International Studies Association (ISA) Annual Convention in New Orleans in February 20101 and will be elaborated upon during a panel at the Annual Convention of the ISA in Montreal in March 2011.2 This brief overview explains the Project’s objectives, tools, and organizational aspects. It encompasses assumptions and decisions to be made, and serves as an invitation to join or support the Project in one way or another. If interested in working on the IO BIO project, please contact us at [email protected]. A. OBJECTIVES 1. A Biographical Dictionary Secretaries-General (SGs) – or other executive heads with different titles – of International Organizations (IOs) are the chief executives and representatives of international bureaucracies that vary in size and shape. This position has standing within International Relations Theory and many IO personalities are known to a wider public for their roles in international politics. However, there is still a gap in our understanding of the people in these posts, both individually and collectively, in terms of who they are and how they affect the performance of IOs, as organizations and in international relations.
