This task force was originally named KIP-HAM in 1996. As a commission whose work was to monitor Human Rights issues, KIP-HAM received many reports and inputs from the community, both victims’ community and others who dared to express their aspiration regarding human rights issues that took place in their regions. In the beginning, KIP-HAM only received reports through phone communication but the public gradually grew brave in delivering their reports directly to KIP-HAM secretariat. In several meetings with victims’ community, there was an idea to form an entity that deals specifically with cases of forced disappearances as a response to continuous violent practices that had claimed many victims. The idea was thrown in by one of the victims’ mothers named Ibu Tuti Koto. It was finally agreed that a commission would be established to deal with cases of disappearances and victims of violence under the name of Kontras.

  • GCC Oil Exporters and the Future of the Dollar Forthcoming in New Political Economy
    Title: GCC Oil Exporters and the Future of the Dollar Forthcoming in New Political Economy Author: Bessma Momani- Assistant Professor University of Waterloo and Senior Fellow, Centre for International Governance and Innovation Bio: Dr. Bessma Momani is Assistant Professor at the University of Waterloo and a Senior Fellow at the Centre for International Governance and Innovation. Dr. Momani has written on the US Middle East Free Trade Area, Euro-Med initiative, economic integration of the GCC, EU-GCC free trade agreement, economic liberalization in Egypt, and extensively on the International Monetary Fund. In addition to three monographs, her articles have appeared in World Economics, International Journal, Review of International Political Economy, Review of International Organizations, World Economy, Global Society, Middle East Review of International Affairs, New Political Economy, Canadian Journal of Political Science, and Asian Affairs. Abstract: Since the early 1970s, the oil-exporting states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) led by Saudi Arabia, have played a key role in supporting the value of the US dollar by invoicing oil trade oil in dollars and by investing in US dollar reserves and securities. However, the United States‟ negative fiscal and current account positions have made many nervous about the sustainability of the US dollar as an international reserve currency. This article asks whether the GCC oil exporters will undermine the future of the dollar. Three factors are considered: the GCC‟s influence in changing the dollar-based invoicing of oil; emerging patterns in petrodollar recycling; and, the potential for diversification of GCC official reserves. The findings of this article suggest that despite some economic rationales in favour of loosening ties to the dollar, in the short term at least, the GCC will remain loyal to the dollar for political and security reasons.

Ingen av bøkene tar spesielt for seg kraftmarkedsreformen som kom med innføringen av den nye energiloven i 1991. En av de mest grundige analysene av norsk kraftforsyning finner vi i boka "Strøm og styring" forfattet av Lars Thue der NVE er oppdragsgiver. Boka kom i 1996 da NVE feiret sitt 75 års-jubileum. Lars Thue dekker en lang periode fra starten på elektrifiseringen av landet rundt 1900, og fram til 1990-tallet da de viktigste brikkene i kraftmarkedsreformen var lagt. De fleste forfatterne vier ikke kraftreformen særlig stor interesse.

  • The Future of UK
    NEW CHALLENGES FOR UK NATURAL GAS Steve R Jackson, Adrian J Finn & Terry R Tomlinson Costain Oil, Gas & Process Limited Manchester, United Kingdom ABSTRACT The United Kingdom’s self-sufficiency in natural gas has rapidly declined and for the first time the UK has become a net importer of natural gas. Dependence on imported natural gas is set to increase significantly. Some forecasts show the UK may need to import up to 40% of supplies by 2010 and up to 90% by 2020. Winter gas prices are now a factor of 10 higher than 4 years ago and this is seriously impacting big industrial consumers such as ammonia producers and power generators. At present, the main projected increase in imported gas is from Norway, mainly via the Langeled pipeline which landfalls in north-east England (carrying gas from the giant Ormen-Lange development by 2007/8) and from Europe via the existing Zeebrugge-Bacton Interconnector and the Balgzand-Bacton pipeline (operational by 2007). The latter two lines will link the UK with the European gas grid and may open up potential supply sources from the Former Soviet Union (FSU). Several LNG import terminal projects have been undertaken. The first to be completed is on the Isle of Grain near London, which commenced LNG imports during 2005. Two further LNG import terminals, Dragon and South Hook, are under construction at Milford Haven in Wales but will not be fully operational form some years. A further potential development is the upgrade of the former LNG import terminal at Canvey Island, near London.

  • ANNUAL Report 2O12
    ANNUAL REPORT 2O12 The sea ahead ANNUAL REPORT 2O12 GIUSEPPE BONO CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF FINCANTIERI Dear Shareholders, The year 2012 was a challenging one for Fincantieri in the face of a complex global environment, marked by increased competitive pressure and continued market depression but with oppor- tunities of growing strategic importance in the area of high-value new generation ships. This trend is confirmed by the fact that the merchant shipping industry’s investments in new vessels amounted to approximately USD 100 billion, in line with the 2011 figure, while reporting a 20% decrease in compensated gross tonnage. Unfortunately, the level of orders is still insufficient to ensure proper utilization of worldwide production capacity, with consequent pressure on prices. Fincantieri faces a shipping industry that is cautious about investment and wary of depressing fleet profitability, already under pressure due to the growth in operating costs, primarily sparked by the growth in bunker fuel price. The absence of speculative behavior, at least, is helping acce- lerate the process of industry rebalancing, in readiness for a medium-term recovery in demand. In the military field, defense budget cuts, especially in Europe and the United States, are heighte- ning the strategic importance of export markets that more and more often are demanding the transfer of technology or local construction. With regard to Fincantieri’s sectors of operation, the cruise industry has once again demonstra- ted flexibility and responsiveness to the crisis. Analysts are forecasting 3.8% average annual growth in cruise passenger numbers, an estimate that nonetheless reflects very prudent as- sumptions about expected growth in the Asian tourist market.
