Argentinian Governor Pledges No Surrender to ‘Pro-British’ Figures Endorsing UK Rule of Falklands by Morgan Artvukhina In February, the UN Special Committee on Decolonization unanimously ratified a resolution calling for the resumption of negotiations between Argentina and the United Kingdom over their conflicting claims to rule the islands Buenos Aires calls Islas Malvinas and London calls the Falklands. The governor of Argentina’s southernmost Tierra del Fuego state took to Twitter on Monday to rage about Argentines he said were “trying to normalize the occupation” of the Falkland Islands, a territory controlled by the UK and claimed by Buenos Aires, which launched a failed invasion in 1982. "I want to express my rejection of the advance of the 'pro-British' movement by a sector of the opposition, which is against the sovereign rights of our country over the Malvinas and the South Atlantic Islands,” Tierra del Fuego Governor Gustavo Melella wrote on Twitter on Monday, using the Argentinian name for the Falklands and South Sandwich Islands, respectively. Both archipelagoes, which sit in the frigid waters off Argentina’s eastern coast, have been territories of the United Kingdom for more than 150 years, although settlements by other nations, including Argentina, did exist before then. In the final months of Argentinian military dictator Leopold Galtieri’s rule, he launched a marine invasion of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia Island and fought a 10-week war with the British task force sent to liberate them, which Argentina ultimately lost. His government fell a few weeks later, while the Conservative government of UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was propelled to a landslide victory the following year. However, Buenos Aires has never given up its claim to be the rightful rulers of the archipelago. Even right-wing former President Mauricio Macri, who said in 2016 he wanted a “new kind of relationship” with London over the Falklands, also said later that Argentinian sovereignty over the islands is “a legitimate and irrevocable claim, which unites all Argentines beyond our differences.” Indeed, a poll conducted late last month by consulting firm Julio Aurelio-Aresco found that 80% of Argentines believe “the country should continue to demand the end of British occupation” of the islands, the UK Express reported. “These expressions respond to the pro-British stance of an opposition sector linked to the policy carried out by Macrismo, trying to naturalize the occupation of our territory, claiming a surrender policy,” Melella continued, adding that “during the Macri administration, we suffered a process of demalvinization. Not only was no measure taken to allow progress in the resumption of the negotiations as proposed by UN Resolution 2065/65, but it was yielded to every demand of the United Kingdom.” Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 08/11/2021 9:42:16 AM Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 08/11/2021 9:42:16 AM The UN resolution, dating to 1965, notably referred to the “cherished aim of bringing to an end everywhere colonialism in all its forms, one of which covers the case of the Falkland Islands (Malvinas)” and urged the UK and Argentina to come to a peaceful solution to their dispute. “The Argentine people are very clear about the Malvinas belonging to their territory, and for the Fuegians and Fuegians in particular, this National Cause is part of our DNA,” Melella continued. “We must be united and united in the face of this advance by the right, so as not to suffer again the ravages of a foreign policy at the service of colonialism.” It’s unclear to whom Melella was referring, but several critical comments by prominent Argentines in recent weeks have reignited debate about the issue. One is Sabrina Ajmechet, a professor of Argentine Political Thought at the University of Buenos Aires and a National Assembly candidate for Buenos Aires in the November elections on the Juntos por el Cambio ticket, a political coalition that includes Macri’s Republican Proposal. After she announced her candidacy last month, several past comments by her began to surface that aroused fury, such as that Malvinas do not exist, the Falkland Islands belong to the “kelpers,” a term for residents of the islands. When former home secretary Patricia Bullrich, who is presently chairwoman of Republican Proposal, came to her defense by saying Ajmechet “has a historian’s vision of the issue” and that the furious response amounted to ’’academic debates out of context,” it only further fanned the flames. Then, last week, Beatriz Sarlo, a prominent Argentinian essayist and cultural critic, stirred the pot further by saying in a television interview that “the Falklands are a British territory.” “When people say ‘the Falklands are Argentine’ they do not sit down for a minute to think, if they are Argentine, if they are not Argentine, nor what are the Falklands.” Sarlo said, adding that the islands resemble “the south of Scotland.” She went on to call the 1982 invasion “a national psychotic act.” The war resulted in the deaths of 649 Argentinian military personnel, 255 British military personnel, and three kelpers.

Biden 'Does Not Regret' Afghanistan Withdrawal, Says Schedule Unchanged Despite Taliban Gains by Morgan Artvukhina Despite having signed a ceasefire in February 2020, the US carried out several airstrikes on Taliban targets in recent days, including dispatching B-52 strategic bombers and Spectre close air support gunships on missions over Afghanistan as the US withdrawal enters its final stages. US President Joe Biden told reporters on Tuesday that he "does not regret" the decision to pull US forces out of Afghanistan after 20 years of war, despite the fact that the Taliban have made significant gains against government forces in recent months, and would not alter the withdrawal schedule. Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 08/11/2021 9:42:16 AM Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 08/11/2021 9:42:16 AM "We spent over a trillion dollars over 20 years, we trained and equipped with modern equipment over 300,000 Afghan forces and Afghan leaders have to come together. We lost thousands .... of American personnel," Biden said. "They’ve got to fight for themselves, fight for their nation," he said of Afghan forces, who have been on the retreat in recent weeks. However, he added that the US would "continue to keep the commitments we made - providing close air support, making sure that their air force functions and is operable, resupplying their forces with food and equipment, and paying all their salaries. But they’ve got to want to fight. They have outnumbered the Taliban ... I think they're realizing they’ve got to come together politically at the top." "But I do not regret my decision," he added. A European Union official said on Tuesday that the Taliban Islamist militia group now controls 65% of Afghanistan, with half a dozen provincial capitals falling to them in recent days, including Kunduz, one of the country's largest cities. Their rapid advance began in May, as the original withdrawal date the US agreed to in peace talks with the Taliban in 2020 came and went. Biden then committed to a September 11,2021, final withdrawal date, and by early August 95% of US forces were already out of the country. However, the Taliban made no such agreement with the Afghan government in Kabul, which was installed in 2001 by a US invasion that ousted the Taliban government. The Taliban regards the current government as a puppet state. On Tuesday, Zalmay Khalilzad, the US' longtime envoy to Afghanistan, told Taliban representatives in Doha, Qatar, that there was no point to them pursuing the Kabul government's overthrow, as the US would politically isolate a Taliban government if it came to power. The US has given its support to the idea of a government of national unity that would include the Taliban, but neighboring countries like China have indicatedthev are more concerned about stability in the Central Asian country, which has served as a harbor for terrorist groups like the East Turkistan Islamic Movement, al-Qaeda, and Daesh, than they are about a Taliban government coming to power.

New York Governor Cuomo is Resigning: What Happens Next? by Morgan Artvukhina New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is also facing two other investigations into alleged misconduct, including whether he gave the US Justice Department falsified reports on COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes, and whether he used state resources to finish his memoir about handling the pandemic. At a Tuesday press conference, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced he was resigning amid a slew of accusations by women that he had sexually harassed them. However, this isn’t the end of the road for the 63-year-old Democratic governor, who still has two weeks in office and could also face charges after stepping down. Two Weeks Left Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 08/11/2021 9:42:16 AM Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 08/11/2021 9:42:16 AM Cuomo said Tuesday afternoon that his resignation from office would take effect in two weeks, on August 24.

We participated in the 26th General Assembly of the International Maritime Organization and visited a number of United States, NATO, European Union, and coalition partners. There are several themes that emerge from the world of work that our Guardians perform this week and every week beyond our maritime borders. 1. The world is becoming more complex and the trend will continue. 2. The issues we face challenge existing governing structures that were created in different times to address different threats. 3. Asymmetrical threats such as piracy, illegal fishing, and illegal immigration are proliferating and challenge our governing structures and operational response models. 4. The value, relevance, and return of investment of Coast Guard resources has never been more appreciated. 4. Allocating our forces outside the western hemisphere has always been a challenge but the demand is likely to outstrip our capability for the foreseeable future. 5. These realities will require us to make tough choices in the near future as we reconcile supply and demand for our limited resources. I am more well informed and sensitive to the complex issues at play having made these visits.

  • The Relationship Between MNE Tax Haven Use and FDI Into Developing Economies Characterized by Capital Flight
    1 The relationship between MNE tax haven use and FDI into developing economies characterized by capital flight By Ali Ahmed, Chris Jones and Yama Temouri* The use of tax havens by multinationals is a pervasive activity in international business. However, we know little about the complementary relationship between tax haven use and foreign direct investment (FDI) in the developing world. Drawing on internalization theory, we develop a conceptual framework that explores this relationship and allows us to contribute to the literature on the determinants of tax haven use by developed-country multinationals. Using a large, firm-level data set, we test the model and find a strong positive association between tax haven use and FDI into countries characterized by low economic development and extreme levels of capital flight. This paper contributes to the literature by adding an important dimension to our understanding of the motives for which MNEs invest in tax havens and has important policy implications at both the domestic and the international level. Keywords: capital flight, economic development, institutions, tax havens, wealth extraction 1. Introduction Multinational enterprises (MNEs) from the developed world own different types of subsidiaries in increasingly complex networks across the globe. Some of the foreign host locations are characterized by light-touch regulation and secrecy, as well as low tax rates on financial capital. These so-called tax havens have received widespread media attention in recent years. In this paper, we explore the relationship between tax haven use and foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing countries, which are often characterized by weak institutions, market imperfections and a propensity for significant capital flight.

  • COVID-19 Global Report June 10Th 2020 Overview of COVID-19 Conversation
    COVID-19 Global Report June 10th 2020 Overview of COVID-19 conversation As the pandemic reached global proportions in the last weeks, we saw a spike in conversations on every channel. This trend has now stabilized, and we have even noticed a drop in overall mentions of COVID-19 over the last 7 seven days. Are people over Coronavirus news? 10/06/20 2 What are the themes of COVID-19 conversation? 10/06/20 3 What are the themes of COVID-19 conversation? Consumer Insights: What are people talking about with summer vacations? It has already become abundantly clear that this summer will be very different than other summers as we transition into the “new normal.” One way that we are able to gauge how this conversation will differ is by understanding how people will be spending their summer vacation. Summer vacation is perceived differently depending on the audience and region of the world. For some it is when school is out, and students and younger children have time to engage in different activities. For others, it is the ability to go on trips and enjoy oneself outside of the normal walks of love. By analyzing summer vacation, we can get an understanding of how consumers anticipate spending their “summer vacation” during the COVID-19 pandemic. By looking at the below Conversation Clusters, we see that people are still making and planning, and going on trips. At the same time, it seems as if people are very careful and selective in the types of trips that they are discussing.
