Trump is proving he is not Obama but they're alike on Middle East wars
January 17, 2019 usatoday Leave a Comment
opinion Aaron David Miller and Richard Sokolsky Opinion contributors Published 4:00 AM EST Jan 20, 2019 How ironic that, halfway through President Donald Trump's term and as Trump himself has done many times, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blasted former president Barack Obama as weak and vacillating in his recent speech in Cairo. Why? Because while Trump is Mars and Obama is Venus, they're alike in one important respect: when it comes to the use of force, especially in the Middle East, both believe the United States should avoid starting new wars and try to get out of old ones. But Trump is surrounded by two foreign policy advisers who are far more hawkish and eager to remain in Syria to use military power to contain Iran, and even to create pressure that might lead to regime change in Tehran. If Trump isn't careful and disciplined — qualities that sadly have been MIA in his foreign policy as in his presidency overall — he … [Read more...] about Trump is proving he is not Obama but they're alike on Middle East wars

With Saudi Prince Holding On to Power, U.S. Is Seen Standing by Him

Sections SEARCH Skip to content Skip to site index Middle East Subscribe Log In Log In Today's Paper Supported by ByDavid D. Kirkpatrick and Ben Hubbard Nov. 1, 2018 LONDON — A month after the killing of the Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi, the Trump administration has decided to stand by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, having concluded that he is almost certain to retain his grip on power despite a growing international consensus that he bears responsibility for the killing, officials familiar with the deliberations said. The White House was aware of the crown prince's hostility to Mr. Khashoggi, a Virginia resident and columnist for The Washington Post, as early as Oct 9. That was seven days after the dissident disappeared in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul and long before the crown prince acknowledged that Saudi agents killed him. In a phone call about the case with both Jared Kushner, the president's … [Read more...] about With Saudi Prince Holding On to Power, U.S. Is Seen Standing by Him

Here's How The Saudi Royal Family Is Quietly Playing Defense

WORLD NEWS 10/25/2018 06:15 pm ET Updated 1 hour ago Saudis and their allies are defusing tension over Jamal Khashoggi—protecting private conversations about reining in Crown Prince Muhammed bin Salman. By Akbar Shahid Ahmed Saudi Crown Prince Muhammed bin Salman appeared typically confident Wednesday at a high-profile investment conference, joking about that one time he kidnapped the prime minister of Lebanon and lamenting the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi with a straight face. His biggest message went unsaid: I'm still here. But away from the spotlight, members of the Saudi ruling family and influential foreign governments are quietly debating the crown prince's future ― especially whether he should remain the single most powerful player in a kingdom facing its biggest international crisis since the Sept. 11 attacks. Three weeks after Khashoggi was murdered at a Saudi consulate in Turkey, the prince's position as de facto ruler … [Read more...] about Here's How The Saudi Royal Family Is Quietly Playing Defense

Turkish President: Saudis Must Name Masterminds of Killing
October 23, 2018 necn Leave a Comment
Saudi Arabia must identify those who ordered the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and turn over the suspects for trial, the Turkish president said Tuesday in remarks that carefully ratcheted up pressure on a country that is a source of investment for Turkey, but also a rival for influence in the Middle East. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivered a sharp rebuttal of Saudi Arabia's widely criticized account that the writer for The Washington Post died accidentally in a brawl, saying Saudi officials had planned the killing for days. Some analysts believe Turkey is also calculating whether it can capitalize on outrage over the killing to extract political capital from the world's largest oil exporter without alienating it altogether. Addressing ruling party lawmakers in parliament, Erdogan used the word "murder" 15 times to describe Khashoggi's death after the writer entered the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2 for paperwork related to his marriage plans.

Arlington jailers get probation in inmate death case
ARLINGTON, Texas - The two former Arlington Police Department jailers who accepted a plea deal for the 2015 death of an inmate were both sentenced to a year of probation on Tuesday.
Pedro Medina and Steven Schmidt pleaded guilty Monday to misdemeanor charges for their role in 42-year-old Jonathan Paul's death.
Paul was arrested in March 2015 after a traffic stop. He was restrained and pepper-sprayed because of his erratic behavior, and then moved to another cell and left on the floor. He died four days later.
According to court documents, Medina and Schmidt caused his death "by physically restraining Paul in a position that interfered with his breathing." Both jailers were fired after being indicted for criminally negligent homicide.
"We would've liked to go to trial, to litigate this case and show the real reasons some of these things happened in the jail," said defense attorney Robert Rogers. "Arlington wouldn't even give them a course in CPR, so they couldn't react. Why aren't there medical people in the jail, why isn't there a nurse in the jail."
The charge against Medina was reduced to assault with bodily injury as part of his plea deal. The charge against Schmidt was also reduced to official oppression.
A judge decided to sentence them each to a year of probation plus a small fee.
"After considering all the evidence and the circumstances of these cases and talking with the family of Jonathan Paul, this agreement was determined to be the best response to the level of personal involvement of these defendants," the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office said in a statement. "Both defendants will have to strictly uphold the conditions imposed by the court in order to successfully complete their sentences. We are hopeful their accountability for their roles in this tragedy will bring some measure of closure for the Paul family."
Paul's family, along with the NAACP, settled a wrongful death lawsuit against the City of Arlington in April 2016 for $1.2 million.
Several of Paul's family members were at the sentencing.
"Because of the God I serve I have to forgive you. But I still hurt and I'm still angry," his uncle Marvin Phillips said. He was upset that the jailers get to go back to work and retire.
Paul's family filed a lawsuit against the city of Arlington last year and ended up settling for $1.25 million.

Noble Partner 20 multinational exercise begins | Article
VAZIANI TRAINING AREA, Georgia – Allied and partner nations from around the world gathered at…
VAZIANI TRAINING AREA, Georgia – Allied and partner nations from around the world gathered at Vaziani Training Area, Georgia, for the opening ceremony of Noble Partner 20 Sept. 7.Noble Partner 20 is a Georgian Defense Force and U.S. Army Europe cooperatively led exercise hosted at Vaziani and Camp Norio training areas. It is designed to enhance Georgian, regional partner, and U.S. force readiness and interoperability in a realistic, multinational training environment. Noble Partner is a recurring, biannual exercise in its fifth iteration. This year also marks the 26th year of the partnership agreement between the Georgia National Guard and the country of Georgia under the National Guard's State Partnership Program."This exercise is an incredible display of commitment of cooperation between the United States and Georgia and between Georgia and NATO," said U.S. Army Col. Stephanie Bagley, defense attaché to Georgia. "It is an opportunity to hone our skills to work together as a coalition, to enhance interoperability, as well as to show our future cooperation."Countries participating in this year's exercise include France, Georgia, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Active duty U.S. Army units training in the exercise include the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, 12th and 101st Combat Aviation Brigades, and 18th Military Police Brigade. Components from the Georgia National Guard in the exercise include the 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 78th Troop Command, 78th Aviation Troop Command, and 165th Airlift Wing.This year's training will include mechanized infantry maneuvers, helicopter attack and medical evacuation operations with rotor-wing aircraft, and a culminating combined arms live-fire exercise that integrates all participating forces.Senior leaders and exercise coordinators spoke about the importance of partnership and training with allied and partnered countries."I'm very excited to be back here in the country of Georgia. I was fortunate enough to be here a couple of years ago at the last Noble Partner exercise," said Georgia Army National Guard Col. Jason Fryman, U.S. exercise director. "I'm a walking testament that exercises like Noble Partner 20 allow us to bring partners and allies together to connect personally, professionally as well as technically and tactically. Interoperability though is not just about technology. It's about people and processes. Those relationships here allow us to work with our partners and allies, hone those skills necessary for us to act as a coalition."Fryman said exercises like Noble Partner promote stability and security in the region and around the globe.The Georgia National Guard and the country of Georgia became partners under the State Partnership Program in October 1994. The program's first partnerships began in 1993, and the agreement between both Georgias is the 17th agreement in the program's history."This exercise emphasizes interoperability and coordination with our partnered nations and our defense forces, strengthens our military readiness and defense capabilities to build trust, cooperation and friendship," said Brig. Gen. Irakli Chichinadze, Georgian deputy chief of defense forces. "I'd like to express my appreciation to our many partners."Safety precautions are in place to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 exposure during and after the exercise. The Georgian Ministry of Defense implemented a 14-day restriction of movement and required COVID-19 testing before entering Georgia, and COVID-19 screening will occur during the exercise.For more National Guard newsNational Guard FacebookNational Guard TwitterState Partnership Program

Characteristics which are Present in All Developing Economics
Characteristics which are Present in All Developing Economics!
An idea of the characteristics of an underdeveloped or a developing economy must have been gathered from the above analysis of the definitions of an underdeveloped economy. Various developing countries differ a good deal from each other but even then there are some common features which are present in almost all the developing economies.
We explain below some of the basic and important characteristics which are common to all developing economies:
1. Low-Per Capita Income or Poverty:
The first important feature of the underdeveloped countries is their low per capita income. According to the World Bank estimates for the year 1995, average per capita income of the low income countries is $430 as compared to $24930 of the high-income countries including U.S.A., U.K., France and Japan. According to these estimates for the year 1995, per capita income was $340 in India, $620 in China, $240 in Bangladesh, $700 in Sri Lanka. As against these, for the .y ear 1995 per capita income was $26,980 in USA, $23750 in Sweden, $39640 in Japan and 40,630 in Switzerland.
It may however be noted that the extent of poverty prevailing in the developing countries is not fully reflected in the per capita income which is only an average income and also includes the incomes of the rich also. Large inequalities in income distribution prevailing in these economies have made the lives of the people more miserable. A large bulk of population of these countries lives below the poverty line.
The recent estimates reveal that about 35 per cent of India population (i.e. about 320 million people) lives below the poverty line, that is, they are unable to get even sufficient calories of food needed for minimum subsistence, not to speak of minimum clothing and housing facilities. The situation in other developing countries is no better.
The poverty in the under-developed countries is due to stagnation or lack of economic growth in the past and their technological backwardness, despite the vast resources existing there. By utilising their natural resources and making progress in technology they can increase their production and income and break the vicious circle of poverty operating in them.
It may however be noted that after the Second World War and with getting political freedom from colonial rule, in a good number of the under-developed countries the process of growth has been started and their gross domestic product (GDP) and per capita income are increasing. That is, why they are now called the developing countries or less developed countries (LDCs) But it will take a long time before they are able to catch up with the present-day developed countries.
2. Excessive Dependence on Agriculture:
An under-developed country is generally predominantly agricultural. About 60 to 75% of their population depends on agriculture and its allied activities for its livelihood. Further, about 30 to 50 per cent of national income of these countries is obtained from agriculture alone.
This excessive dependence on agriculture is the result of low productivity and backwardness of their agriculture and lack of modern industrial growth. In the present-day developed countries, the modern industrial growth brought about structural transformation with the proportion of working population engaged in agriculture falling drastically and that employed in the modern industrial and services sectors rising enormously. This occurred due to the rapid growth of the modern sector on the one hand and tremendous rise in productivity in agriculture on the other.
In developing countries today, despite their modern industrial growth in the last four decades not much progress has been achieved towards structural transformation in the occupational structure of their economies. Due to the use of highly capital-intensive techniques in their industries very few employment opportunities have been created in their industrial sector.
When increasing population cannot obtain employment in the modern non-agricultural occupations, such as industry, transport and other services, then the people remain on land and agriculture and do some work which they are able to get.
This has resulted in excessive dependence on agriculture. During the last some decades because of population explosion the pressure of manpower on land in the developing countries has increased very much. Many bad results have followed from this. With the increase in man-land ratio the land has been divided into small holdings.
3. Lack of Capital and Low Rate of Capital Formation:
The insufficient amount of physical and human capital is so characteristic a feature in all undeveloped economies that they are often called simply 'capital-poor' economies. One indication of the capital deficiency is the low amount of capital per head of population.
Not only is the capital stock extremely small, but the current rate of capital formation is also very low. In most under-developed countries investment is only 5% to 8% of the national income, whereas in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe, it is generally from 15 per cent to 30 per cent.
The low level of capital formation in an under-developed country is due both to the weakness of the inducement to invest and to the low propensity and capacity to save. The rate of saving in developing countries is low primarily because of the low level of national income.
In such an economy, the low level of per capita income limits the size of the market demand for manufacturing output which weakens the inducement to invest. The low level of investment also arises as a result of the lack of dynamic entrepreneurship which was regarded by Schumpeter as the focal point in the process of economic development.
At the root of capital deficiency is the shortage of savings. The level of per capita income being quite low, most of it is spent on satisfying the bare necessities of life, leaving a very little margin of income for capital accumulation.
Even with an increase in the level of individual incomes in an under-developed economy, there does not usually follow a higher rate of accumulation because of the tendency to copy the higher levels of consumption prevailing in the advanced countries. Nurkse has called this as "demonstration effect". It is usually caused through media like films, television or through foreign visits.
Generally, there exist large inequalities in the distribution of incomes in under-developed countries. This should have resulted in a greater volume of savings available for capital formation. But most often the sector in which the greatest concentration of incomes lies is the one which derives its income primarily from non-entrepreneurial sources such as unearned incomes of rents, interests and monopoly profits.
The attitudes and social values of this sector are often such that it is prone to use its income for 'conspicuous consumption', investment in land and real estate, speculative transactions, inventory accumulation and hoarding of gold and jewellery. If these surpluses are channelled into productive investment, they would tend to increase substantially the level of capital formation.
4. Rapid Population Growth and Disguised Unemployment:
The diversity among under-developed economies is perhaps nowhere to be seen so much in evidence as in respect of the facts of their population in respect of its size, density and growth. While we have examples of India and Pakistan with their teeming millions and galloping rates of population growth, there are the Latin American countries which are very sparsely populated and whose total population in some cases numbers less than a single metropolitan city in India and China.
In several newly emerging countries of Africa too and in some of the Middle Eastern countries the size of their population cannot be regarded as excessive, considering their large expanse. The South-East and Eastern Asia, on the other hand, have large populations.
However, there appears to be a common measure, namely, a rapid rate of population increase. This rate has been rising still more in recent years, thanks to the advances in medical sciences which have greatly reduced the death rate due to epidemics and diseases.
While the death rate has fallen sharply, birth rate does not yet show any significant decline so that the natural survival rate has become much larger. In countries like India, Pakistan, Burma, a veritable population explosion is feared. The great threat of this important trend consists in this is that it sets at bought all attempts at development inasmuch as the increased output is swallowed up by the increased population.
One important consequence of this rapid rate of population growth is that it throws more and more people on land and into informal sector to eke out their living from agriculture, since alternative occupations do not simultaneously develop and thus are not there to absorb the increasing numbers seeking gainful employment.
The resultant pressure of population on land and in informal sector thus gives rise to what has been called "disguised unemployment". Disguised unemployment means that there are more persons engaged in agriculture than are actually needed so that the addition of such persons does not add to agricultural output, or putting it alternatively, given the technology and organisation even if some of the persons are withdrawn from land, no fall in production will follow from such withdrawal. As a result, marginal productivity of a wide range of labour employed in agriculture is zero.
Under-utilisation of Natural Resources:
The natural resources in an under-developed economy are either unutilised or under-utilised. Generally speaking, under-developed countries are not deficient in land, water, mineral, forest or power resources, though they may be untapped. In other words, they constitute only potential resources. The main problem in their case is that such resources have not been fully and properly utilised due to various difficulties such as shortage of capital, primitive technology and, the small size of the market.
Economic Backwardness of the People:
The people in under-developed countries are economically backward, that is, the quality of the people as productive agents is low. Instead of acquiring the greatest possible control over their physical environment, the people have struck a balance with nature at an elementary level.
They have been relatively unsuccessful in solving the economic problem of man's conquest of his material environment. Particular manifestations of this are low labour efficiency, factor immobility, limited specialization in occupations and in trades, and a lack of entrepreneurship, illiteracy, ignorance, and conservative social values that minimise the incentives for economic change.
5. Dualistic Structure of the Underdeveloped Economies:
An important feature of developing economies, especially those which are marked by surplus labour is that they have a dualistic structure. This dualistic character of these economies has been held to be the cause of unemployment and under-employment existing in them.
Keeping in view this dualistic structure of less developed economies, important models of income and employment have been propounded. Famous Lewis model of economic development with unlimited supplies of labour and Fei-Ranis model of "Development in a Labour Surplus Economy" explain how in dualistic economies, the unemployed and underemployed labour in the traditional sector is drawn into a modern high productivity sector.
The concept of dualism was first of all introduced into the development analysis by Dr. J.H. Boeke but he emphasised the social dualism, according to which there is sharp contrast between the social systems characterising the two broad sectors of the economy, one in which the original social system with its subsistence or pre-capitalist nature, limited wants, non-economic behaviour and low level of economic and social welfare prevails, and the other where imported capitalist system with its modern system of industrial organisation, wage employment, unlimited wants and positive behaviour to economic incentives exists.
However, it is technological dualism rather than Boeke's social dualism which has an important bearing on the problem of economic growth and surplus labour in the developing countries. According to the concept of technological dualism, the important difference between the traditional and the modern sectors lies in the difference between the production techniques or technologies used.
In the small modern sector consisting of large-scale manufacturing and mining which provides wage employment, highly capital-intensive techniques imported from the developed countries are used. On the other hand, in the large traditional sector covering agriculture, handicrafts and allied activities, in which there exist extended family system and self-employment, labour-intensive technology is generally used.
As a result of the difference in technologies used, the labour productivity and levels of earnings in the modem sector are much higher than those in the traditional sector. Moreover, since the technology used in the modern sector is highly capital-intensive, the growth of this sector has not absorbed adequate amount of labour in high productivity and high wage employment.
With the explosive rate of growth of population and labour force and the limited creation of employment opportunities in the modem sectors because of the highly capital-intensive technology, surplus labour has emerged in the agriculture and services. It has been possible for agriculture to contain the surplus labour because of the prevalence of extended family system in which both work and income are shared by the family members.
We thus see that the problem of unemployment and under-employment in less developed economies has been intensified by the technological dualism caused by the use, in the modem manufacturing and mining, of capital-intensive technology imported from abroad which is wholly unsuitable to the factor endowments of these less developed economies with abundant labour and small capital.
The unemployment and under-employment in these less developed economies are not only due to the slow growth of capital or low rate of investment, it is also due to the highly capital-intensive techniques used in the modem sector.
This technological dualism with the fact that modem sector has limited labour-absorptive capacity contains important implications for development strategy to be framed for less developed countries like India with surplus labour.
6. Need for Development:
There is a very urgent need for economic development in the under-developed or poor countries. Economic development is needed so that living standards of their people may be raised. What is more important is that economic development of the poor countries is necessary from the point of view of the richer countries.
What do we find today? The world is divided into two parts: one of the poor and the other rich which is continuously becoming richer. Such a situation threatens the economic and political stability of the world. Unless the poor countries are enabled to share the general prosperity, their condition will become more and more difficult.
It is the relative difference between the rich and poor countries which will make the poor countries contented or discontented. Ever-increasing discontent in the poor countries is bound, sooner or later, to aggravate the already explosive situation in the world.
As the gulf between the rich and poor countries widens, the tension in the world will grow. The poor countries will agitate more and more for a share in prosperity and, consequently, their demand on the richer countries will grow louder and louder in volume and intensity.
There is ample evidence in the world of the fact that when nations cannot solve their domestic problems, their governments plunge them into war with their neighbours who may be prosperous. It is thus in the interest of world peace and harmony that the poor countries are enabled to remove or reduce their poverty.
There is a growing and legitimate desire of the poor nations to eradicate poverty. The desire to develop is keenly felt by different sections of their population. Their desire to develop is natural and understandable because they experience acute physical sufferings as a result of appallingly miserable economic conditions in which they live. The masses in the poor countries constantly face hunger, illiteracy, sickness and forced to eke out a life of extreme poverty.
Note that, according to the new view, economic development is needed mainly for two reasons:
(1) The removal of poverty,
(2) Enlargement of human capabilities and freedoms.
For the removal of poverty capabilities of the poor should be enhanced so that they should be able to meet their minimum basic needs which include getting adequate food, health, clothing and shelter. To achieve these economic growths is necessary but not sufficient.
Therefore, for removal of poverty, direct anti- poverty measures such as generation of enough employment opportunities be taken. Secondly, as emphasized by Amartya Sen, development is needed so that people should enjoy freedom and life of valued functioning. To quote Amartya Sen, "The valued functioning may vary from elementary ones, such as being adequately nourished and being free from avoidable diseases to very complex activities or personal states such as being able to take part in the life of community and having self respect". Thus, according to Amartya Sen, freedom of choice, or control of one's own life are central aspects of well-being for which true development is needed.
Times are gone when people believed in their destiny or kismet. They are no longer prepared to reconcile to their poverty as resulting from fate. They have now realised that the solution of the problem of poverty lies in economic development.
This realisation has been further strengthened by the ever-increasing contacts and communications between such countries and the developed countries. The awareness of the possibilities of development is growing every day. Already, the upper sections of society in developing countries are imitating the living standards prevalent in the rich countries.
The desire for development has followed the political freedom of the many poor countries from foreign rule. It has now been realised that political freedom without economic freedom and prosperity has no meaning.
Political independence has naturally raised expectations of the people in the economic sphere. No wonder that people of these countries which have won freedom from the colonial rule aspire to develop economically and that in the shortest possible time.

The districts have started using SchoolInsight to manage student data, simplify state reporting, and increase family communication. With the addition of these districts, SchoolInsight is now the fastest growing SIS in Illinois.
"We're proud of our recent accomplishments," says Mike Xakellis, CEO for Common Goal Systems. "Five years ago, SchoolInsight was a new product with no customers. Today we have 17% market share of small-to-medium sized districts – comparable to other top vendors in Illinois. This growth is a result of our commitment to customer satisfaction. We've benefited from the trend of unhappy school districts leaving behind their old systems in search of improved ease-of-use and lower operational costs. We look forward to building strong relationships with these new customers."
SchoolInsight is a comprehensive system that uses the latest cloud-based technology. It's designed for small-to-medium sized districts (under 6000 students), which are very common in the state. Users of the system gain access to student information in real-time, and require no special equipment other than the Internet and a web-browser. SchoolInsight is made in Illinois and is always up-to-date with ISBE reports.
Common Goal Systems (www.common-goal.com) provides web-based services to help educators work more efficiently. In addition to SchoolInsight, it also develops TeacherEase, one of the first web-based gradebooks. Using the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, the company offers its products via the Internet and is responsible for all system operation and maintenance. Founded in 2001, Common Goal Systems has hundreds of thousands of users worldwide.

The Corsican hare (Lepus corsicanus), also known as the Apennine hare or Italian hare, is a species of hare found in southern and central Italy and Corsica.

Taxonomy
It was first described as a species in 1898 by the British zoologist William Edward de Winton using specimens from Corsica. It was later regarded as a subspecies of the European hare (L. europaeus) or both were treated as subspecies of the Cape hare (L. capensis). It is now often treated as a full species as it does not appear to hybridize with the European hare where their ranges overlap and studies of mitochondrial DNA suggest that it belongs to a distinct lineage which differentiated in isolated refuges during the last glacial period.

Description
It is similar to the European hare in appearance, being largely brown with a cream-coloured belly. It differs in having grey rather than white bases to the hairs of the underfur. It is smaller on average than the European Hare with a head and body length of 44.1—61.2 cm, a tail length of 6.6—11.2 cm and a weight of 1.8—3.8 kg. The ears and hind legs are relatively longer, 9—12.6 cm and 11.4—13.5 cm respectively.

Distribution and habitat
It is found in maquis shrubland, grassland, cultivated areas and dunes. It is common and widespread on Sicily where it occurs from sea-level up to 2400 metres on Mount Etna. On mainland Italy, its range is more fragmented, extending patchily north to Tuscany on the west coast and Foggia on the east coast. It was introduced to Corsica by man, probably between the 14th and 17th centuries, and is currently rare there with only a few recent records.

Status and conservation
Its population appears to be declining and it is classified as "Vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). It is threatened by habitat loss, hunting and competition with European rabbits and introduced populations of European hares. It is now protected from hunting but the similarity between this species and the European hare makes protection difficult to enforce.

America Blocked a Massive Solar Project in India*
India should sue the U.S. megabucks for applying the NWO TPP before it comes into law…
Solar power sees unprecedented boom in the United States – solar power grew by 6.2 gigawatts in 2014; and 1 million American homes have solar panels as of February 2016. However, the United States dragged India to the World Trade Organization claiming that India's efforts to boost local production of solar cells and solar modules violated WTO rules.
Just recently, a WTO panel has ruled that the domestic content requirement (DCR) imposed under India's National Solar Mission (NSM), is inconsistent with its archaic treaty obligations under the global trading regime. The requirement in question mandates a percentage of components to be sourced locally, to boost home-grown production of solar cells and solar modules.
Though India argued that NSM helps the country meet its climate commitments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the WTO rejected the argument. They stated that domestic policies seen as violating WTO rules, cannot be justified on the basis that they fulfil UNFCCC or other international climate commitments. Like seriously?
Reuters reported that the U.S. Trade Representative's office called the ruling "a significant victory that would hasten the spread of solar energy across the world and support clean-energy jobs in the United States." Dan Whitten, vice president of communications for the Solar Energy Industries Association, told PV-Tech:
"The WTO dispute settlement panel's decision will clear the way for significant and rapid deployment of solar energy in India and can create jobs at home. This decision helps us bring clean energy to the people of India, as that nation's demand for electricity rapidly grows. We look forward to working with our solar industry colleagues in India to help grow the solar supply in both our markets and around the world."
Well, Mr Whitten DCR does allow India to provide itself with clean energy – and as Gristnotes, "potentially with fewer emissions, as domestically produced solar panels don't have to be shipped in from overseas."
Meanwhile WTO is shutting down India's massive solar project, cause India prefers its own solar panels over US-made. pic.twitter.com/ZzB8eMertb
— Jeblary Bushton (@Jeblary2016) March 5, 2016
By putting pressure on India's solar program, and by hiding behind the biased WTO agreements, the United States wants to boost its solar exports to India, which it argues have fallen by 90% from 2011, when India imposed the rules. Claiming that India was unfairly restricting access to American suppliers, U.S. trade representative Michael Froman justified the perverse move in February 2014: "These domestic content requirements discriminate against U.S. exports by requiring solar power developers to use India- manufactured equipment instead of US equipment. These unfair requirements are against WTO rules, and we are standing up today for the rights of American workers and businesses."
Nearly half of the American states have renewable energy programs that include "buy-local" rules that create local green jobs, and bring new solar entrepreneurs to the economy. Why must a developing country pay penalties for the same tools that a developed country uses to foster, nurture, and grow new industries? Why get penalized for cultivating domestic renewable energy firms that promote strong climate policies; and push toward 100% clean energy?
The truth is: If the local content requirement was removed from India's national solar program, it would open up an opportunity for foreign companies to step in.
For the Uninitiated:
The world's first entirely solar-powered airport – made of more than 46,000 solar panels arrayed, which produce 48,000 units of energy per day; saving 300,000 tons worth of carbon emissions equivalent of planting three million trees, or not driving 750 million miles – is located in India. The world's largest 750 MW solar power station is coming up in India, and is set to start generating clean energy by March 2017.
Currently, India imports three quarters of its energy needs. With the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission, India aimed to deploy 20,000 MW of grid connected solar power by 2022 – more than the current solar capacity of the world's top five solar-producing countries combined. This deployment was in order to reduce the cost of solar power generation in the country, making India a global leader in solar energy.
In January 2015, after U.S. President Barack Obama met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at India's 66th Republic Day celebrations, the White Office released a statement which seemed to indicate support for that goal. The statement recognized that "global climate change is a profound threat to humanity and to the imperatives of sustainable development, growth and the eradication of poverty."
"The United States intends to support India's goal by enhancing cooperation on clean energy and climate change, to include: Expanding Partnership to Advance Clean Energy Research; Expanding Partnership to Advance Clean Energy Deployment; Accelerating Clean Energy Finance; Launching Air Quality Cooperation; Initiating Climate Resilience Tool Development; and Demonstrating Clean Energy and Climate Initiatives on the Ground."
Reports indicate that India will prefer an appeal to the appellate body, as well as explore the option of filing a counter complaint against the U.S. While the WTO ruling is not final, the ruling is definitely a slap in the face of climate cooperation.

Syrian Army Storms the Palmyra Castle*
Palmyra, is an ancient semitic city, on the old silk road..It's interesting to note, that the Jews erected a massive Temple to the Jewish God Baal.
Baʿal (bet-ayin-lamedh) is a Semitic word signifying "The Lord, master, owner (male), keeper, husband", which became the usual designation of the great weather-god of the Western Semites.[4] Cognates include Standard Hebrew (Bet-Ayin-Lamed); בַּעַל / בָּעַל, Báʿal (Hebrew word #1166 in Strong's Concordance), Akkadian Bēl and Arabic بعل. In Hebrew, the word ba'al means "husband" or "owner", and is related to a verb meaning to take possession of, for a man, to consummate a marriage. The word "ba'al" is also used in many Hebrew phrases, denoting both concrete ownership as well as possession of different qualities in one's personality http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmyra
By Leith Fadel
Minutes ago in the eastern countryside of the Homs Governorate, the Syrian Arab Army's "Tiger Forces" – in close coordination with the 67th Brigade of the 18th Tank Division, Liwaa Imam Al-'Ali, and the Desert Hawks Brigade – launched a powerful assault on the Palmyra Castle (Qal'at Tadmur) that is currently under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS).
According to a military source at the T-4 Military Airport in east Homs, the Syrian Armed Forces are storming the western perimeter of this ancient fortress after launching thermobaric TOW missiles to weaken ISIS' front-line defences. The thermobaric TOW missiles used by the Syrian Armed Forces are specifically used at the Palmyra front because they cause little-to-no damage to the buildings and ancient sites that are filled with ISIS terrorists.
If the Syrian Armed Forces are able to seize the Palmyra Castle, they will be in full control Jabal Qassoun; this mountaintop overlooks the western district of Palmyra and gives the government forces a geographic advantage near the Palmyra National Hospital.

The Fall of Palmyra
The ISIS drive on the ancient city of Palmyra has a special significance, according to documents seized on May 16, 2015 by Syrian Special Forces units in a near dawn attack on al Mayadin, along the Euphrates River.
The al Mayadin attack, simultaneous to an American attack only a few miles further north along the Euphrates, brought both nations a trove of vital intelligence. Documents found on a laptop used by a top ISIS commander showed direct communications via "social networks" with Israel, but that isn't all that surprising nor is it what is of real significance. The message received from Israel had several startling elements:
Orders for the ISIS drive that took Palmyra came from Israel but also reference "the freemasons," a group whose historical origins are tied to the Knights Templars, a religious and military organization believed to have discovered the First Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem and to have looted its gold and artifacts.
The document orders ISIS to find and destroy the Second Temple of Solomon to be found in Palmyra, long the subject of "fringe" archaeology, and thought to be a mythological site built by superhuman beings or even extraterrestrials.
The document goes further, indicating that Israel will destroy the al Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam that has been under attack by Israeli settlers in recent weeks.The ISIS drive on Palmyra, a UNESCO World Heritage site and an incomparable archeological treasure was carefully coordinated with a drive that took the Iraqi city of Ramadi and a Turkish backed drive on Aleppo by Al Nusra. All three operations were totally unhindered by U.S. and "coalition" air attacks, curiously so. Moreover, reports from Ramadi of American C130 aircraft resupplying ISIS units have multiple confirmation despite US denials. When questioned about this, U.S. Army Special Forces representatives blamed Iran for spreading the rumour as part of a psychological operations ploy despite the fact that the U.S. had previously admitted to "accidentally" resupplying ISIS forces near the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobani. The Kobani "accidents" happened several time over a period of days during the height of the battle there.

Trump's Trumpet bringing America to Boiling Point, so what Would Happen if he was Elected?*

A good leader inspires, unifies, and earns respect… quite the opposite with. He would only succeed in fulfilling the NWO's destruction of the U.S., if he hasn't already…
By Ricky Riley
Republican front runner Donald Trump had to postpone a rally in Chicago as a wave of protesters let their collective frustration be heard.
According to multiple reports, Trump postponed the event as hundreds of protesters surrounded the venue. The Associated Press reported that "a large portion of the crowd inside the University of Illinois at Chicago Pavilion broke out into raucous cheers. Meanwhile, supporters of the candidate started chanting 'We want Trump! We want Trump!'"
A Trump spokesperson had to come out on stage to announce that the event would be postponed fearing for the inevitable chaos.
The event was dominated by small scrummages between protesters and supporters. Black, white, males and females were engaged in physical attacks against one another.
The protesters consisted of Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims and many more groups that have been targeted by Trump's supporters and subjects of his dangerous rhetoric. These groups of people are routinely kicked out and assaulted at Trump rallies —but today was different. Since early evening their numbers grew and Chicago police began to remove protesters out of the venue one -by -one and within three hours the rally was postponed.
Trump said that Chicago police officials told him to cancel the event but CPD denies that.
Video shows some of the physical altercations:
In the aftermath of the various melees, five people were arrested and two injured according to reports out of Chicago.

Where there is a Midwife there Less Caesareans*
States that allow autonomous practice by certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) have a higher proportion of CNM-attended births as well as lower rates of caesarean sections, preterm births, and low birth weight infants, according to a study published today in Women's Health Issues.
Women's Health Issues is the official journal of the Jacobs Institute of Women's Health, which is based at Milken Institute School of Public Health (Milken Institute SPH) at the George Washington University.
Authors Tony Yang of George Mason University and Laura Attanasio and Katy Kozhimannil of the University of Minnesota School of Public Health analyzed data on 12 million births from 2009 through 2011 reported by 50 states and the District of Columbia to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
They classified each state as either being subject to collaborative agreement, meaning CNMs must have physician supervision or contractual practice agreements in order to practice (28 states), or as having autonomous practice, in which no such agreements are required (22 states and the District of Columbia).
The authors found that women giving birth in the states allowing independent midwifery practice had a 60% greater chance of having a certified nurse midwife as a birth attendant.
Past research has found that midwives are less likely than obstetricians to use interventions like labour induction and caesarean delivery – that may have higher risks for women and infants when performed without definitive medical need.
The authors of this study also found that women giving birth in the group of states allowing autonomous midwifery practice had 13% lower odds of caesarean delivery, 13% lower odds of preterm birth, and 11% lower odds of delivering low-birth weight babies when compared to women giving birth in the states with stricter requirements for CNM practice.
"Future policy efforts to enhance access to midwifery services may be beneficial to pregnancy outcomes and infant health," the authors conclude, adding that more midwife-assisted births could lead to better birth outcomes and lower costs.
They note that caesarean deliveries not only come along with health risks but are approximately 50% more costly than vaginal deliveries.
The study, "State Scope of Practice Laws, Nurse-Midwifery Workforce, and Childbirth Procedures and Outcomes," has been published online ahead of print and will appear in the May/June issue of Women's Health Issues.

U.K. Misleading the Public on E.U. Immigration*
By James Slack, Jack Doyle
The true scale of immigration to Britain by E.U. citizens is being kept secret by Government officials, it emerged last night.
Top civil servants, led by HMRC boss Lin Homer, are refusing to publish figures that could reveal up to 1.3million extra migrants living in the UK. If revealed, the data could have an explosive impact on the E.U. debate.
MPs said the public were at risk of being 'misled' ahead of the 'once-in-a-lifetime decision' over whether Britain should re-take control of its borders. Requests to get to the truth have been thwarted for more than three months, with time now running out before the June 23 vote.
The row centres on a huge gap between two sets of data relating to immigration.
Office for National Statistics figures show some 904,000 EU migrants have arrived in Britain since June 2010 – but in the same time, officials issued 2.2million national insurance numbers to E.U. migrants. The ONS yesterday admitted the numbers do not appear to add up.
Experts say the Government should release the amount of 'active' NI numbers, meaning those being used to pay tax or receive benefits.
HM Revenue and Customs admits holding the information, but has been refusing to answer Freedom of Information requests and Parliamentary questions on the matter.
Officials claim it would be too expensive to do so.
HMRC's Dame Lin has been frustrating attempts by Andrew Tyrie, head of Westminster's Treasury select committee, to obtain the data.
Mr Tyrie asked for the 'active' NI numbers in December but was sent a response in February which 'did not answer the question'. He has now requested them again.
Officially, 257,000 E.U. nationals were said to have arrived last year, but 630,000 from the E.U. were given NI numbers. This includes 209,000 NI numbers given to Romanians and Bulgarians, despite only 55,000 officially settling here last year.
Tory backbencher David Davis tried to get the information, in a Parliamentary question but was refused on grounds it could be provided only at 'disproportionate cost'.
He said: 'Why is this information not available? This is an important measure of how the country is run. At worst, it is misleading the public. The numbers are potentially about half of what they should be.'
Mr Davis said the difference between the two figures had significant implications for the job prospects of U.K. citizens, housing and public services, adding:
'It is always important that the Government is transparent, but it is doubly important when the public at large are making a once-in-a-lifetime decision. There is absolutely no justification for withholding this information.'
The first request for the data was made by economist and former government advisor Jonathan Portes in November. The Government rejected the request in mid-December, saying that releasing the information would be 'unhelpful' to the Mr Cameron's renegotiations.
Mr Portes appealed, but last month the Government again refused – this time claiming it would be too expensive.
A further appeal is before the Information Commissioner's Office. Mr Portes said:
'The Government has data on the number of recent E.U. migrants, which would shed considerable light on possibly the most important issue in what is certainly the most important electoral campaign in the U.K. in recent memory.
'And its justification for not publishing … it would take more than three-and-a-half working days of one civil servant's time. Perhaps we should no longer be surprised by this behaviour. The only question is whether our elected representatives will stand for it.'
The ONS said it 'is undertaking ongoing reconciliation work' on its immigration data and said NI numbers will be incorporated 'when available'.
A possible explanation for the gap is that the ONS records only migrants who stay in Britain for more than a year, but people who work here for short periods of time require an NI number.
An HMRC spokesman said: 'HMRC does not currently hold the requested information in a publishable format.'
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith welcomed remarks by the Archbishop of Canterbury that Britons have a 'justified' fear of mass immigration, but said silencing of the debate has been 'terrible for the British people'.

Victory for Traditional Marriage in Alabama*
By Greg Corombos
The Alabama Supreme Court upheld an earlier decision banning state officials from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples last week, and while the legal road is far from over for traditional marriage supporters, they believe the facts of the case and the Constitution are on their side.
The fight stems from early 2015, when Alabama justices ruled that probate judges should not obey federal court orders striking down the state's laws defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June 2015 that the Constitution contains the right to same-sex marriage, offices of probate judges began issuing licenses again. That policy was challenged by Liberty Counsel, leading to the most recent ruling on March 3.
"They put their stamp of approval on what they had previously done. The net result is they are reaffirming that marriage in Alabama is the union of a man and a woman and that the probate judges are barred from issuing marriage licences to same-sex couples. That is the net result, and that is a huge victory," said Liberty Counsel Chairman Mathew Staver.
But it's not the end of the fight. Staver believes the actions of probate judges on marriage licenses will thrust the issue back into the courts one way or another.
"One option is that the probate judges will not issue the same-sex marriage licenses. They might be sued to try to get them to comply to issue the license," Staver said.
"On the other hand, there are other probate judges who are issuing the licenses. They might be sued because they are in contempt of the Alabama Supreme Court opinion."
Staver elaborated on the latter issue and why refusing the Alabama Supreme Court decision could mean big trouble for probate judges in the state.
"They are governed by the Alabama Supreme Court, in particular the chief justice as the chief administrative officer of the judiciary. And they have to abide by what the Supreme Court says. If they do not, they can be found in contempt of court. They can even be removed from office," Staver said.
But does the Alabama Supreme Court have a chance of winning this fight in the long term given the U.S. Supreme Court's decision last year? Staver believes it can.
First, he said the flimsy rationale for the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges is critical.
"The Supreme Court's 5-4 opinion is just that. It's an opinion, and it doesn't represent the rule of law. It's illegitimate. It's not founded in the Constitution or in any of the court's precedents. And it is simply contrary to millennia of human history," Staver said.
But he also argues Obergefell only applies to a few states since the court ruled on a case coming from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which covers Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee.
"It doesn't apply to Alabama even if, in fact, it was the rule of law because it only applies to the parties in that particular case. None of the people in Alabama, none of the probate judges were parties of that U.S. Supreme Court decision," Staver said.
Does this mean U.S. Supreme Court decisions do not have to be followed if opponents believe there is no constitutional basis for the decision?
Will there be an endless ping pong of cases between the state and federal systems when states decide to defy a court ruling?
Staver said the precedent is still for U.S. Supreme Court decisions to be followed, but there are exceptions and we see them in history, including the infamous 1857 Dred Scott decision, in which the high court upheld the Fugitive Slave Act, denying equal rights for black citizens.
"That case came out of Wisconsin. When it went back to Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Supreme Court said,
'We're not going to abide by that. We refuse to implement that rule.' They continued to insist they would not follow the U.S. Supreme Court," Staver said.
"To this day, they pride themselves that they were on the right side of the Constitution," he added.
Staver says presidents have ignored Supreme Court decisions too.
"Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln (and) Andrew Jackson resisted unlawful, illegitimate legal actions," he said.
"In the case of Abraham Lincoln, he famously advocated that the Dred Scott decision was illegitimate and did not represent the rule of law."
He said the bottom line is no branch of the federal government is all-powerful, including the Supreme Court.
"The Supreme Court has gotten way beyond its original authority, way beyond the Constitution. It doesn't have unlimited power any more than the president or the Congress. It has certain prescribed powers," Staver said.
"When they walk outside of those powers, outside of that authority, they are on their own. We cannot and should not, because to do so is literally unconstitutional. It's lawless and it undermines the very republic that we love," he said.
Staver said an overreaching, activist judiciary is one of the greatest threats facing the United States.
"What we have right now is a cancer, a cancer that will eat up the republic, a cancer that will undermine our freedom, a cancer that replaces 'We the People' with five individuals who are unelected at the Supreme Court," Staver said.
"We need to excise out the cancer. The judiciary, starting with the U.S. Supreme Court, has become the cancer of our basic liberties. We need to bring it back into check."

Q: Create gravity using JavaScript I am developing a physical sandbox. Each body has own properties like mass, velocity and acceleration. By default all bodies fall to the ground, but some of the them have gravitation field that can attract another bodies. I tried to calculate body's moving vectors and sum them, but it doesn't work. How can this attraction be correctly implemented?
class Body {
// Physical properties
  position = { x: 0, y: 0 }
  velocity = { x: 0, y: 0 }
  acceleration = { x: 0, y: 0 }
  mass = 1.0;
  gravity = 0.0;

// ... class constructord and etc.

  move = () => {
    if(this.checkCollision == true) return;
    this.setVelocityVector();
    this.position.y += this.velocity.y;
    this.position.x += this.velocity.x;
  }

  setVelocityVector = () => {
    // By default body falls down
    this.acceleration.y = this.mass * GRAVITY_ACCELERATION;

    // Check gravity body's attraction
    activeParticles.forEach(body => {
      if(body.gravity > 0) {
        // Calculate gravity power with Newton's formula:
        // F = G * m1 * m2 / r^2
        var rr = (this.position.x - body.position.x) * (this.position.x - body.position.x)
                 + (this.position.y - body.position.y) * (this.position.y - body.position.y);
        var a = body.gravity * this.mass * body.mass / rr;
        this.acceleration.x += a;
        this.acceleration.y += a;
      }
    });

    this.velocity.y += this.acceleration.y;
    this.velocity.x += this.acceleration.x;
  }
}

A: *

*As comments already pointed, you should calculate acceleration for all particles first, then move them.

*You are adding force to acceleration.

*You are calculating only amount of force, not it's direction. Here is correct (i think) version :
 var rr = (this.position.x - body.position.x) * (this.position.x - body.position.x)
          + (this.position.y - body.position.y) * (this.position.y - body.position.y);
 var a = body.gravity * body.mass / rr;
 this.acceleration.x += (body.position.x - this.position.x) * a / sqrt(rr);
 this.acceleration.y += (body.position.y - this.position.y) * a / sqrt(rr);

A hefty bout of jet lag means that I've had plenty of time to trawl through the latest Classic and Sports Car for mentions of Facel Vegas. There are a few, but they are a touch meagre.
First mention is in the news pages and the report of Retromobile, including a rather small picture of a Facel 11 with the body bucks for that car. The pic is so small it's difficult to work out what the bucks look like but this is no great news: the body bucks have been in a Belgian museum for some time and it was just a matter of marrying the bucks and a finished car (Michel Revoy's, I believe) together on the Amicale's stand at Retromobile. C&SC say that the Amicale caused a stir with their stand.
Right at the start of the display ads there is a page display for the Thiesen company from Germany who have a RHD HK500 for sale. It is a 1960 car in white and a manual, been in the same ownership for the last 25 years apparently. There is no price for this car. Thiesen also offers an LHD 1958 FV4, but there are fewer details.
The only other mention are the results from the Retromobile auctions which show the prices in pounds sterling and include buyer's premium but without the VAT applied. The cars sold were pretty much as we expected, apart from the surprising inclusion of the Facel 11 which came from the UK. This was an ex-USA car auctioned by Bonhams which reached €230,000 in the auction and below estimate, and yet according to C&SC it sold for £96,140, so there's a major anomaly there. Even if it sold for £196,140 that's of interest… maybe just a typo.
The other cars that sold were the Baillon Excellence (barn find) for £105,792 – we knew it had gone for €120,000 – plus the ex-Tringtignant FV3B which sold for €170,000/£149,872 quoted by C&SC, and the LHD HK500 auctioned by RM which sold for £102,144. So few surprises except for the sale of the Facel 11.
Incidentally, there is a display ad from Justin Banks who recently said that he still had his Excellence and Facellias for sale, but no mention of the Facel 11, which suggests it may have been sold. None of his Facels are advertised in his display ad.

I rapporti tra la Corte internazionale di giustizia e il Consiglio di sicurezza
The relationships between the International Court of Justice and the Security Council is one of the most sensitive and problematic concerning the UN system. The book consists of four parts. The analysis carried out in the first three parts of the monograph about the definition of the relationships between the SC and the ICJ aims at a description de lege lata of the functioning of the UN system. From such a reconstruction it has emerged that the relationships between those organs, lacking a detailed and comprehensive (if not with regards to few aspects which in any case remain very limited) regulation under the relevant normative instruments (UN Charter and ICJ Statute), are governed by some fundamental principles, such as the duty of mutual assistance, the reciprocal respect of their respective competences and activities, the protection of integrity of the judicial function, the efficiency of the World Organization in the maintenance of international peace and security or, more properly, the best combination between them, as those interests are equally essential (but potentially conflicting) for the correct and balanced functioning of the UN system. The reference to those criteria has lead us to identify two main configurations of the relationships at issue, respectively in terms of coordination of the functions assigned to the two organs, and of ex post control on the activity of the SC by the ICJ. As to the first, our position is that the SC and the ICJ are independent from each other in the exercise of their respective competences. The principles of lis pendens, connexity and res judicata are not applicable to the relationships between them. The distinction between 'political' and 'legal' issues and, consequently, between 'justiciable' and 'non justiciable' disputes has been strongly rejected, including by the Court itself. The relationship between the SC and the ICJ is hence mainly characterized by functional parallelism: in the exercise of their competences both organs must act in consideration of each other's interest, and not impede each other in their action. As far as the second model is concerned, there exists safer ground, though not devoid of controversy, for the ICJ to embark on judicial review either in consultative or in contentious cases: i.e. 'in the exercise of its judicial function'. The proposed method of judicial review must however ensure both the legitimacy and the efficiency of the political organ and strengthen, not weaken, the United Nations' role in the maintenance of international peace and security. The SC is certainly a political organ adopting decisions according to political criteria. However, its action would lose any credibility if it were arbitrary and totally deprived of a legal basis. To reinforce judicial review is thus to reinforce the UN's effectiveness. That is why, in a perspective de lege ferenda, the international judicial review mechanism should be carefully developed and thoroughly regulated. Moreover, legal certainty would be essential in order to prevent other international courts and tribunals from adopting incompatible approaches with regard to matters concerning the legality of the SC's coercive measures. The fourth part of the monograph is devoted to the assessment of the relationship between the two UN organs within the field of State responsibility, with special attention to the role that the Court and the Council are already entitled to carry out de lege lata as far as the reaction to the most serious violations of norms protecting the collective interests of the international community are concerned, and to the introduction (in a perspective of progressive development of international law) of new mechanisms and suitable procedures to take advantage of their respective competences and to better coordinate their activities within that field. In such a context, our main objective was to verify the existence of means of preventive legal control which would provide an authoritative and objective evaluation of the subsistence of all the factual and legal elements which may allow States to act or react, in the name and on behalf of the international community as a whole, for the protection of its fundamental values. At least for the moment, the original proposals made on those points inside the ILC in order to entrust the UN organs with the power of preventive legal control has been set aside, because of the complexity of the issues they would involve. However, on this point the debate, either in the ILC and in the doctrine, does not seem to have reached shared solutions. The issue, therefore, can be considered still substantially open and must be carefully considered. The analysis begins with the examination of the specific features of the legal regime protecting the collective interests of the international community and continues by scrutinizing the principal results which have been achieved on those aspects by the ILC during the codification of the matter relating to State responsibility (Chapter XII); it then addresses the debate concerning the involvement of UN organs in the questions concerning reactions to the most serious breaches by critically scrutinizing the proposals and the suggestions made by the Special rapporteurs of the ILC and the discussions they have raised; it confirms the current relevance of the topic by focusing on some proposals which advocate the involvement of the SC and the ICJ into the mechanism that triggers the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court on the crime of aggression (Chapter XIV); and in fine it verifies, on the basis of a careful review of its jurisprudence, the scope of ICJ potential jurisdiction in matters concerning the protection of the collective values of the international community as a whole and the limits which actually impede a more useful utilization of the Court within this field. The analysis carried out in this phase of the study has shown that neither the ICJ nor the SC, although they represent the most suitable organs to fulfil the function of controlling States reactions to international crimes, cannot effectively accomplish such tasks in an independent way. In this perspective, the Council seems to be the better interpreter of the views of the most powerful social forces in the international community, i.e. the only ones that can assume, because of their huge political, economic and military weight, the task to concretely defend the fundamental values of the international community. Nevertheless, it is well-known that its recent and unprecedented activism is widely criticized as too selective and too consistent with the priorities of the Big Powers. At the same time, the unwillingness and inability of the UN member states to agree on a reform of the Council's membership and voting procedures increasingly casts doubt upon the legitimacy of a body the UN Charter established as the primary guardian of international peace and security. For this reason it appears ineluctable, especially because of the progressive emergence of an unique hegemonic power in the position to influence and lead the entire globalization process, to confer to the ICJ, as guarantor of the legality within the international legal system, more incisive powers and functions in matters related to State responsibility for serious breaches undermining the essential interests of the international community in order to counterbalance the powers of the SC or, more precisely, of the powerful States which could (as recent practice clearly testifies) use surreptitiously the Council as an instrument for the realization of their own specific interests. The direct involvement of the Court in the management of those situations would concur to reduce the risk that serious violations of international law will remain without juridical consequences, at least in the hypotheses in which States holding a great political weight commit them, relying on an immunity that in more than a circumstance has revealed to be de facto absolute. The study carried out in the fourth part has allowed us to exemplify some models of concurrent action of the two organs within the field of the protection of the essential interests of the international community which, even if still in an imperfect way and with only partial consequences, tend to realize new collective forms of guarantees for States' common interests, by organizing State reactions against the most serious breaches on behalf of the international community as a whole. These models are still incomplete and precarious and represents for the time being only some weak trends. Recourse to the Court has the obvious advantage to place the examination of the issues concerning the protection of collective interests at an appropriate legal level, and at the same time it provides a more objective and neutral treatment of the interests belonging to the concerned parties. Nevertheless, the problem is that the rules governing Court proceedings are conceived mainly to settle disputes of a strictly bilateral nature. Those rules raise many complex problems as regard to the possibility to profitably utilize jurisdictional means also to solve issues of general interest. At the beginning of the 21st century the dilemma faced by the United Nations Organization and the entire international community lies in the inability to reconcile the structural realities of power politics in a unipolar world within the requirements of the international rule of law. A revision of the UN system should not set aside the exigencies for a more active role of the ICJ and a greater balance and constructive cooperation between the latter and the political organs. On the contrary, it should take carefully into account the problem of finding a way to modify and enlarge the scope of the jurisdiction assigned to the primary judicial organ in order to improve its contribution to the protection of the values belonging to the whole international society.
