Appendix Consultation Program Consultation Participants Foreword This report is a summary of the inaugural consultation of the International Negotiation Network (INN), held at The Carter Center of Emory University CCEU), in Atlanta, Georgia, January 14-17, 1992. The consultation brought together over 200 invited guests from 40 countries and more than 150 organizations or governments. It was made possible through the generous support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, and shaped in part by that foundation's president, David Hamburg, who has served as one of the INN's advisors. The INN is first and perhaps foremost a network linking individuals, organizations, resources, and parties in conflict throughout the world. One of its most important functions is the ability to convene persons involved in common pursuits who seldom have the opportunity to meet one another. The participants in the consultation, whose names are listed in the appendix, represent a mix of parties engaged in conflicts, as well as a broad cross-section of diplomats, scholars, practitioners of "track-two" diplomacy and representatives of inter- governmental, regional and non-governmental organizations.

The Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG INTRODUCTION The British Empire, precursor to the Commonwealth of Nations, grew out of decisions, most of them made in London. It is a city that never ceases to surprise the visitor. Walking yesterday through Leicester Square, I came upon a landmark that I had never previously noticed. In the centre of that public space, circling a statue, is a series of indicators, pointing in the directions of the countries of the Commonwealth. The pointers occupy every segment of the circle, indicating that members of this unique family of nations, and their people, can be found in every corner of our world. I am a member of the last generation that grew up in the era of the British Empire. In my school days in Australia, every 24 May was celebrated as Empire Day. In 1954, at my high school in Sydney, I Justice of the High Court of Australia (1996-2009); President of the Court of Appeal of Solomon Islands (1995-6); Independent Co-chairman of the Malawi Constitutional Conference (1994); member of the ILO Mission to South Africa (1991-2). After this lecture was given, it was announced that Michael Kirby was appointed to the Eminent Persons Group on the future organisation of the Commonwealth of Nations.

  • Small States and the Challenge of Sovereignty
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository Small States and the Challenge of Sovereignty: Commonwealth Caribbean Offshore Financial Centers and Tax Competition William B. Vlcek Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in International Relations The London School of Economics and Political Science University of London 2006 ABSTRACT The dynamics of inter-state relations and state sovereignty have been disturbed by late-20th century globalisation. Yet the literature on the international system, globalisation and international political economy gives scant attention to the most vulnerable sovereign entities, the small and micro states. One significant exception has been the Commonwealth, with its many small state members. Another is the area of financial crime, and the role of the offshore financial centre (OFC) within global finance. This thesis analyses the efforts of several small Commonwealth states from the Caribbean to maintain their OFCs in the face of an OECD-directed campaign against tax competition. It demonstrates both the contribution made to economic development by an OFC and the successful assertion of sovereignty achieved by these small states. The case study focuses on Caribbean OFCs and the OECD campaign against harmful tax competition during 1998 - 2003. First, the argument that tax competition is a global problem is deconstructed. Three main points from the small states’ response to the OECD position are explored, along with the OECD’s rebuttal. Because the small states are individually at a disadvantage, the thesis provides an exposition of the collective response facilitated by the Commonwealth.

  • Sir Shridath Ramphal
    Sir Shridath Ramphal Sir Shridath Surendranath “Sonny” Ramphal, a national of Guyana, and the quintessential Caribbean man is a distinguished jurist and international public servant. He is the recipient of prestigious awards and honours from several countries, international bodies and academic institutions. The Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George was conferred on Sir Shridath by Her Majesty the Queen of England in 1970. After his early education in Guyana, Sir Shridath read for a degree in law in London. He graduated with an LL.B (Hons.) and gained a LL.M with distinction from King’s College, University of London. After being called to the Bar at Gray’s Inn, he spent a year at the Harvard Law School on a Guggenheim Fellowship. The high esteem in which he is held internationally is evident by Sir Shridath’s membership of several important International Commissions. He has served as a Cabinet Minister in the Guyana Government and was unanimously elected Secretary-General of the Commonwealth in June 1975. Subsequently re- elected on two occasions Sir Shridath served as Secretary-General of the Commonwealth for 15 years. During the period of his stewardship, membership of the Commonwealth grew from 34 countries in mid- 1975 to 49 in 1990. The Commonwealth then represented almost one-third of the international community of nations and a quarter of the world’s population. Sir Shridath served as Assistant Attorney General during the period of the West Indies Federation and this marked the beginning of a distinctive record of service to the Caribbean. As Chairman of the West Indian Commission, he was the highly regarded draughtsman for the reconstruction and development of Caribbean society.

    Dr Dwayne Ryan Menezes, A Retrospective: CSGs and Human Rights COMMONWEALTH SECRETARIES-GENERAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS: A RETROSPECTIVE Dr Dwayne Ryan Menezes Director, Human Security Centre Director, Polar Research and Policy Initiative Consultant to the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth Associate Fellow – Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London “Our shared values of peace, democracy, development, justice and human rights – which are found in our new ‘Commonwealth Charter’ – mean that we place special emphasis on including everyone in this goal, especially those who are vulnerable.” HM Queen Elizabeth II, Commonwealth Day Message 2013 Since its earliest days, the Commonwealth – in its various guises and forms – has been instrumental in directing greater attention and importance to human rights both within and outside itself. Yet, given that much of its work is undertaken behind the scenes, the great force of good it has been in this regard has not always been adequately acknowledged. This essay shall highlight, firstly, the often forgotten role played by the Commonwealth in enshrining fundamental human rights and freedoms both in the Charter of the United Nations (1945) and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948). Then, it shall focus in greater detail on the office of the Secretary-General in particular and explore how each of the five Secretaries- General the Commonwealth has had so far engaged with human rights and security during their time in office. By serving primarily as a compilation of relevant anecdotes, it is hoped that this short essay will elucidate how each Commonwealth Secretary-General responded to the challenges of a changing world with the limited resources they had at their disposal at the evolving Commonwealth Secretariat.
