In response to the Memorial of the Federal Republic of Somalia of 13 July 2015, the Republic of Kenya submits this Counter-Memorial in accordance with the Order of the Court dated 2 February 2017 fixing 18 December 2017 as the time-limit for the filing of this written pleading. As provided in Article 49(2) of the Rules of Court, this Counter-Memorial addresses points of agreement and disagreement regarding the factual and legal statements made in Somalia’s Memorial. 2. This case concerns a dispute in regard to the delimitation of a “single maritime boundary between Somalia and Kenya in the Indian Ocean delimiting the territorial sea, exclusive economic zone … and continental shelf, including the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles”.1 Somalia’s case is that absent an agreement between the Parties, equidistance is the applicable method for delimitation of the maritime boundary, and that there are no special circumstances requiring its adjustment. Kenya’s case is that from at least 1979 until

  • IONS PREPARATORY WORKSHOP HOSTED by the KENYA NAVY at MOMBASA from 01 – 02 OCTOBER 2009 PURPOSE the Preparatory Workshop Wa
    IONS PREPARATORY WORKSHOP HOSTED BY THE KENYA NAVY AT MOMBASA FROM 01 – 02 OCTOBER 2009 PURPOSE The preparatory workshop was aimed at providing a forum where member navies would be able to deliberate and discuss common interest issues in the spirit of promoting new avenues of enhancing friendship and professional cooperation in the IOR at the end of which it was expected that a finalized list of Agenda items and theme for the IONS Summit – 2010 would be agreed upon. The workshop evidenced participation by nominees from 15 member navies each of who made invaluable contributions and recommendations making this activity a truly all inclusive process. SESSION 1 – OPENING CEREMONY The Commander of the Kenya Navy, Major General S J Mwathethe outlined that the primary aim of IONS was to create Allied Naval Partnerships, establish a high degree of inter-operability, share information and to explore ways to overcome trans-national maritime threat, natural disasters and maintain good order at sea. In his key note address, the Chief Guest, Lt Gen J W Karangi VCGS, Kenya Armed Forces, applauded the conceivers of the IONS initiative and the member navies for efforts towards mitigating maritime insecurity in the IOR. He also noted that Indian Ocean Sea Lanes of Communication are heavily relied upon by world economies for trade, and the current threats of piracy and armed robbery at sea dictate an increased naval cooperation and interaction which can only be attained through coordinated efforts like sharing of information, experiences and ideas. SESSION 2/3 – PRESENTATIONS The workshop adopted its schedule as a basis for their discussion with a view to giving recommendations for the IONS meeting to be held in UAE in March 2010.

  • Kahlil Gibran a Tear and a Smile (1950)
    “perplexity is the beginning of knowledge…” Kahlil Gibran A Tear and A Smile (1950) STYLIN’! SAMBA JOY VERSUS STRUCTURAL PRECISION THE SOCCER CASE STUDIES OF BRAZIL AND GERMANY Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Susan P. Milby, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin Adelman, Adviser Professor William J. Morgan Professor Sarah Fields _______________________________ Adviser College of Education Graduate Program Copyright by Susan P. Milby 2006 ABSTRACT Soccer playing style has not been addressed in detail in the academic literature, as playing style has often been dismissed as the aesthetic element of the game. Brief mention of playing style is considered when discussing national identity and gender. Through a literature research methodology and detailed study of game situations, this dissertation addresses a definitive definition of playing style and details the cultural elements that influence it. A case study analysis of German and Brazilian soccer exemplifies how cultural elements shape, influence, and intersect with playing style. Eight signature elements of playing style are determined: tactics, technique, body image, concept of soccer, values, tradition, ecological and a miscellaneous category. Each of these elements is then extrapolated for Germany and Brazil, setting up a comparative binary. Literature analysis further reinforces this contrasting comparison. Both history of the country and the sport history of the country are necessary determinants when considering style, as style must be historically situated when being discussed in order to avoid stereotypification. Historic time lines of significant German and Brazilian style changes are determined and interpretated.

  • Maritime Security Issues on the East Coast of Africa
    QuickTime™ and a QuickTime™ and a TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture. are needed to see this picture. MARITIME SECURITY ISSUES ON THE EAST COAST OF AFRICA SAS DRAKENSBERG MOMBASA HARBOUR 26 NOVEMBER 2007 CONFERENCE REPORT Introduction A South African Navy Ship, the SAS Drakensberg, visited Kenya during late November and was in Mombasa harbour on the 26th of November 2007. The SA Navy kindly consented that the ISS may host a one-day conference on board the SAS Drakensberg on this day and the Hanns Seidel Foundation agreed to fund the event. Rationale for the Conference This opportunity, to arrange a conference on board a SA Navy ship in Mombasa, presented a forum to further the mission of the ISS ‘to enhance human security in Africa’ as well as that of the Hanns Seidel Foundation ‘in the service of democracy, peace and development’. Africa has many maritime interests, including trade and the use of its marine resources to support development on the continent. Unfortunately, these resources are illegally plundered by others (illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is an example) and free trade is hampered by phenomena such as piracy and organised crime. This is to the disadvantage of the people of the African continent. At the same time, little is being done in Africa to protect these interests and resources. The Common African Defence and Security Policy (CADSP), in addressing threats to peace, security and development pays little attention to the maritime dimensions thereof. The African Standby Force, as an instrument for the implementation of the CADSP, also does not address maritime forces or their contribution to African security and development.

  • S/2020/1072 Security Council
    United Nations S/2020/1072 Security Council Distr.: General 2 November 2020 Original: English The situation with respect to piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia Report of the Secretary-General I. Introduction 1. The present report is submitted pursuant to paragraph 29 of Security Council resolution 2500 (2019), in which the Council requested me to report within 11 months on the implementation of the resolution and on the situation with respect to piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia. 2. The report covers the period from 1 November 2019 to 31 October 2020 and highlights major developments since my previous report (S/2019/867). It is based on information provided by the United Nations system, including the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM), the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), as well as Member States and regional organizations, including the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the European Union Capacity-Building Mission in Somalia, the European Union Naval Force (EU NAVFOR), the Indian Ocean Commission and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). II. Main developments, trends and considerations regarding piracy off the coast of Somalia 3. Efforts of the international community to combat piracy were impacted by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. International coordination meetings, such as the annual plenary session of the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia, were postponed. The global demand for goods significantly decreased, which further reduced the volumes of cargoes shipped across the western Indian Ocean.
