Having sound legal (recognition acts) and statutory (constitutions or statutes) base texts is a precondition for a strong National Society. They describe the identity of the National Society and explain its leadership model. They are key in safeguarding the integrity of the National Society and provide the foundation to ensure transparency and compliance, which are crucial elements in preventing fraud, corruption and nepotism. Promoting a strong National Society statutory and legal base remains a priority for National Societies and for the Movement as a whole, as it serves to ensure the efficiency of the National Society in the realization of its humanitarian mandates and roles, provides an element of stability and contributes to the protection of the National Society’s integrity and ability to abide by the Fundamental Principles at all times.

  • Franz Van De Velde, O.M.I. (1909–2002)
    ARCTIC VOL. 55, NO. 4 (DECEMBER 2002) P. 407–408 FRANZ VAN DE VELDE, O.M.I. (1909–2002) Franz Van de Velde, O.M.I., a Roman Catholic missionary well known in the Kitikmeot and northern Hudson Bay regions, died in Marelbeke, Belgium, on 22 February 2002 at age 92. Member of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate religious order, cultural historian, author, and genealogist, Father Franz (Frans) was born in Belgium on 28 November 1909 to Arthur Van de Velde and Gabriella Lanens de Lier. He graduated from a Jesuit secondary school in 1929, but chose to join the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, a world- wide missionary order founded in France. He took his first vows as an Oblate on 8 September 1930, in Niewenhove, and was ordained a priest by Bishop Rassneur on 8 Sep- tember 1933 in Velaines, Belgium. Father Van de Velde received his obedience to minister in the Hudson Bay Apostolic Vicariate in March 1937, and on 26 May 1937, with Bishop Arsène Turquetil, he boarded the Normandie in Le Havre en route to New York, Mon- treal, and Churchill. After overwintering in Repulse Bay, Northwest Territories, he arrived in Pelly Bay (Kugaaruk) on 23 April 1938. Father Pierre Henry, who had established the Pelly Bay mission on Simpson Peninsula in 1935, introduced him to ministry in the Kitikmeot region. Father Franz spent the next 50 years of his life in the Canadian Arctic, mainly in the Pelly Bay and Kitikmeot region until 1965, when he moved to Igloolik. On 12 April 1958, he became a Canadian citizen in a ceremony at Pelly Bay, with Justice Jack Sissons presiding.

  • Independent Accident Investigation: Every Citizen’S Right, Society’S Duty"
    "INDEPENDENT ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION: EVERY CITIZEN’S RIGHT, SOCIETY’S DUTY" Pieter van Vollenhoven 23rd January 2001 European Transport Safety Council Rue du Cornet 34 B-1040 Brussels Tel: 0032 2 230 4106 / 4004 Fax: 0032 2 230 4215 E-mail: [email protected] www.etsc.be 1 INTRODUCTION TO THE 3rd EUROPEAN TRANSPORT SAFETY LECTURE Professor Herman De Croo MP Chairman – Board of Directors European Transport Safety Council As the President of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives, it gives me great pleasure to host this event in the Belgian Parliament. Our aim in the European Transport Safety Lecture is to increase awareness of innovation and research-based solutions to important problems amongst senior levels of government, Parliament and the private sector. By mounting this annual Brussels event our objective is to stimulate a high level debate across the European Union, to exchange knowledge and experience and to help forge new commitment to efforts to reduce the risks and costs of transport crashes. Pieter van Vollenhoven in the 3rd European Transport Safety Lecture “Independent accident investigation: every citizen’s right, society’s duty” addresses the fundamental issue of how we go about determining the contributory factors to transport accidents and the importance of getting the institutional arrangements right. Pieter van Vollenhoven is a leading advocate for independent accident investigation. He chairs the Dutch Transport Safety Board and was the Founder of the International Transport Safety Association. As we await the forthcoming discussion by the EU institutions of the strategy and content of the common transport policy to 2010, there could be no better time to focus on this fundamental area of activity and to highlight appropriate EU actions.
