  • Morocco: Current Issues
    . Morocco: Current Issues Alexis Arieff Analyst in African Affairs June 30, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS21579 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress c11173008 . Morocco: Current Issues Summary The United States government views Morocco as an important ally against terrorism and a free trade partner. Congress appropriates foreign assistance funding for Morocco for counterterrorism and socioeconomic development, including funding in support of a five-year, $697.5 million Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) aid program agreed to in 2007. Congress also reviews and authorizes Moroccan purchases of U.S. defense articles. King Mohammed VI retains supreme political power in Morocco, but has taken some liberalizing steps with uncertain effects. On June 17, the king announced he would submit a new draft constitution to a public referendum on July 1. The proposed constitution, which was drafted by a commission appointed by the king in March, aims to grant greater independence to the prime minister, the legislature, and the judiciary. Nevertheless, under the proposed constitution the king would retain significant executive powers, such as the ability to fire ministers and dissolve the parliament, and he would remain commander-in-chief of the armed forces. U.S. officials have expressed strong support for King Mohammed VI’s reform efforts and for the monarchy. Protests, which have been largely peaceful, have continued, however, with some activists criticizing the king’s control over the reform process and calling for more radical changes to the political system. Authorities have tolerated many of the protests, but in some cases security forces have used violence to disperse demonstrators and have beaten prominent activists.

  • Anna Lindh Foundation 15-Year Review 2005-2020
    Anna Lindh Foundation 15-Year Review 2005-2020 Co-funded by the European Union on the occasion of the 25th Anniversary of the EuroMediterranean Partnership 2005-2020 Anna Lindh Foundation 15-Year Review 2005-2020 Foreword by the ALF President In my capacity as President of the Anna Lindh Foundation, I present with pride the Review of the first 15 years of activity of the Foundation. As the first institution of the EuroMediterranean Partnership, it has responded since its creation in 2005 to the ambitious mandate given by the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the region to promote closer human, cultural and social relationships between the people of the region. First and foremost, I would like to extend a warm and sincere thank you to the Member States of the EuroMed region and the European Commission that have trusted and entrusted the Anna Lindh Foundation, ensuring throughout its institutional life the needed political and financial support. I would like to recognize the value of the collaborations established with the UFM, UNESCO, League of Arab States, CMI and World Bank, the UNAoC, OCDE, OSCE, British Council, Club de Madrid, Unimed, Copeam—to name only a few of the partners who made it possible for the ALF to ensure long-term impact, reach and quality of its action. The ALF 15-Year Review testifies this achievement, but the best testimony comes from the stories of all the beneficiaries of the Foundation’s actions, many of whom, nearly a million, I have had the pleasure to meet personally throughout my mandate. I have also had the opportunity to meet with people from different cultural backgrounds in an effort to develop their skills and knowledge in relation to diversity management and intercultural communication; to conceive and implement collaboration projects within their society and across the region; to receive awards for the recognition of their efforts and commitment to dialogue work; and to support the strengthening of civil society in the different countries of the Partnership.

  • Auc Taught Me the Spirit of Leadership with Care and Fairness
    “AUC TAUGHT ME THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP WITH CARE AND FAIRNESS. AUC GAVE ME THE DESIRE TO EXPAND MY HORIZONS BROADER THAN THE SKY. AUC GAVE ME A SENSE OF VALUES TO CONDUCT MY LIFE WITH AN APPETITE FOR LEARNING AND DISCOVERY.” — YERVANT TERZIAN ’60 PROFESSOR OF PHYSICAL SCIENCES, CORNELL UNIVERSITY AUC DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD RECIPIENT On the cover: The main staircase in AUC’s Science Building, completed in 1966 and home to the biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics departments; opposite: Built in 1974, the library on the Greek Campus serves as AUC’s academic hub PRESIDENT’S LETTER hroughout my first year as AUC’s 10th president, the pace of activity seemed to intensify as the year unfolded. From my earliest days, however, it was quite apparent that AUC’s strengths were many, including a rich heritage and an excellent reputation, thanks in large part to its distinguished alumni and its many friends and supporters. While much of the year was focused on strategic thinking and planning, due to the tremendous effort put forth by the Board of Trustees and the work of my predecessor and friend, the late John Gerhart, much of the groundwork for determining the direction AUC needs to take was in place. My mandate, as I have often stated, is to ensure that AUC evolves from being a good university to being a great university. Over the course of the year, three strategic objectives emerged.The first is the completion of our new state-of-the-art campus in New Cairo. I am happy to report that we have continued to make progress on the new campus project, completing the site preparation phase last year, which keeps the project on schedule with our relocation to the new campus scheduled for September 2007.
