On the Case of Julian Assange
The OSCE Secretariat bears no responsibility for the content of this document PC.DEL/262/20 and circulates it without altering its content. The distribution by OSCE 6 March 2020 Conference Services of this document is without prejudice to OSCE decisions, as set out in documents agreed by OSCE participating States. ENGLISH only United States Mission to the OSCE On the Case of Julian Assange As delivered by Acting Deputy Chief of Mission Gregory Macris to the Permanent Council, Vienna March 5, 2020 The United States seeks to deter unauthorized disclosure of classified information, including via prosecution. This is done transparently and according to the laws of the United States. In 2013, Chelsea Manning was convicted by court martial for offenses that involved violations of her military oath to protect and defend the United States. As you know, she provided Julian Assange and WikiLeaks with hundreds of thousands of pages of security information related to national defense. The U.S. Department of Justice indicted Julian Assange for his alleged complicity in Manning’s actions, including his explicit solicitation of classified information and his encouraging Ms. Manning to remove classified information from U.S. systems. The indictment also charges Assange for allegedly posting a subset of classified documents on WikiLeaks that identified the names of human sources, including local Afghans and Iraqis who were assisting U.S. forces, journalists, religious leaders, human rights advocates, and political dissidents living in repressive regimes, thereby causing grave and imminent risk to these individuals’ lives and liberty. The United States takes freedom of the press seriously and is thankful for the invaluable role journalists play in a free society. -

The Views of the U.S. Left and Right on Whistleblowers Whistleblowers on Right and U.S
The Views of the U.S. Left and Right on Whistleblowers Concerning Government Secrets By Casey McKenzie Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations and European Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Erin Kristin Jenne Word Count: 12,868 CEU eTD Collection Budapest Hungary 2014 Abstract The debates on whistleblowers in the United States produce no simple answers and to make thing more confusing there is no simple political left and right wings. The political wings can be further divided into far-left, moderate-left, moderate-right, far-right. To understand the reactions of these political factions, the correct political spectrum must be applied. By using qualitative content analysis of far-left, moderate-left, moderate-right, far-right news sites I demonstrate the debate over whistleblowers belongs along a establishment vs. anti- establishment spectrum. CEU eTD Collection i Acknowledgments I would like to express my fullest gratitude to my supervisor, Erin Kristin Jenne, for the all the help see gave me and without whose guidance I would have been completely lost. And to Danielle who always hit me in the back of the head when I wanted to give up.

Chicago Is Dining out for Life, April 24 by Gopride.Com News Staff April 24, 2014
ChicagoPride.com News April 24, 2014 Chicago is Dining Out for Life, April 24 By GoPride.com News Staff April 24, 2014 https://chicago.gopride.com/news/article.cfm/articleid/56145169 3,000 restaurants nationwide participating in Dining Out for Life CHICAGO, IL -- On Thursday, April 24, over 3,000 restaurants nationwide will be donating a portion of their proceeds to HIV/AIDS related organizations as part of Dining Out for Life. Dining Out for Life began in Philadelphia in 1991 and has since grown into an international event held in cities across North America, raising an average $4 million annually. Each restaurant donates a percentage of the day's food sales, which goes to local organizations to fund care, prevention, education, testing, counseling and other essential HIV/AIDs services. In Chicago, EdgeAlliance's Dining Out for Life campaign celebrates 21 years of helping men, women and children impacted by HIV/AIDS by partnering with local restaurants. Participating restaurants around Chicago will donate a portion of their proceeds to EdgeAlliance, allowing its residents to sustain healthy lives through affordable housing and programming. In 2013, more than 8,000 diners and over 80 Chicago restaurants raised $115,000. This year, there are over 55 restaurants participating locally. "I've always been a big fan of the event, and before opening a restaurant, I've been a patron of the night," Taverna 750 owner Paul Cannella told ChicagoPride.com. "I'm a big fan of any fundraising activities that involve eating, drinking, spending time with friends, all while raising money for a great cause. -
