This was made known to staff through Mr ­­­­­­­­ who acts as an interpreter for Mr Othman who does not appear to be able to speak much English. I interviewed both of the above detainees this evening in the company of SO ­­­­­­­­­­ one of the Unit Senior Officers and Principal Officer ­­­­­­­­­­­ . Mr Othman (through his interpreter) stated that he does not seek any reward for which he sees this as a humanitarian act. If this is sanctioned he wishes to produce a video or audio message and he asked me what facilities we had. I explained that this was not something to be discussed until an answer in principle was received from HQ. I told him that I would inform our Headquarters of his offer. He reminded me that there was a deadline of this Thursday in relation to the hostages. Mr Othman was unable to contact his solicitor this evening. Mr ­­­­ will keep in touch with the Unit staff as and when contact has been made.

Generally you can find it clicking here EDITORIAL Issue 45- 14 December 2006 ------------------------------------------- Wanted: UN Coordinator to coordinate coordinators For many months, NGOs have requested UN agencies to work on an updated Contingency Plan, to cope with the reality and scale of the humanitarian crisis. More than 8 months after the official request which arose from an NCCI GHT workshop, at least 4 consultants have been working these weeks in Amman to I update the Interagency Consolidated Plan, and the contingency plans of L UNHCR, UNICEF and WHO. We welcome these initiatives showing that UN agencies are realizing what the H needs on the ground are. In addition, these sudden actions might denote that Agencies are expecting a further deterioration of the situation and would like to G improve their preparedness. Fair enough. I But we would have more welcomed a coordinated strategy instead of a competition between agencies. Moreover increased coordination would have certainly been more efficient. Indeed, the gathering and integrating of all H initiatives, ideas and efforts is needed to seek solutions to the problems posed Y by the difficulties of access or by the military approach of the “humanitarian intervention” which jeopardizes humanitarian organisations’ efforts. L K According to the UN resolution 1546, the main mandate of UNAMI is political, through the support of the Iraqi Government. But UNAMI also has a mandate E to coordinate UN Agencies and deliver humanitarian assistance.

    ASLE 2016 Off-Year Symposium Into the Heart of the Gila: Wilderness and Water in the West June 8-11, 2016 Western New Mexico University Silver City, NM Page 2 Dear ASLE Symposium participants, On behalf of all of us at Western New Mexico University welcome to southwest New Mexico where water is scarce and the landscape is stunning. Water is the most crucial element of life. How we treat this precious resource has ramifications on a greater scale than all the other environmental concerns combined. It waters our trees that provide the air we breathe. It quenches our thirst and sustains our existence. Yet, we continue to take it for granted. As you explore our surrounding area and marvel at the Gila Wilderness, use the lens of water to understand what is happening not only here, but throughout the world. Drop by precious drop you will begin to see that its future is not guaranteed as our population expands, pollutes and consumes it. Through this symposium, conversations can occur that can make a difference. We, at Western New Mexico University, applaud your efforts and welcome such engaging and challenging dialog. And like the flow of water, our cumulative efforts will change the very nature of our world for the better. Thank you for being here.
