On 6 November 2007, the GCSP co-hosted with the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) a high-level conference entitled, "Our common peacebuilding challenge - The contribution of International Geneva". The overall objective of the one-day conference was to nurture a greater engagement between the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) and the key stakeholders located outside of United Nations headquarters, with a view to ensuring that the practical experience and expertise of this multitude of actors feeds into the deliberations of the Commission. The aim was for the discussions to produce practical recommendations that could serve to inform and bolster the international community's peacebuilding response through the PBC.
This presentation was given by Raj RANA during the conference and charted the evolution of the project and the launch of the Geneva Peacebuilding Platform.

The document discusses Citrix NetScaler, a load balancing and application delivery controller. It describes NetScaler's key capabilities which include acceleration, security, availability, and offloading. These capabilities allow NetScaler to optimize application delivery, protect applications and servers from threats, balance workloads across servers, and reduce server load by offloading functions. The document also provides examples of how NetScaler uses policies and features like AppExpert to intelligently direct and manage traffic.
This document discusses the challenges facing organizations in coordinating recovery efforts following the Canterbury earthquakes in New Zealand. It notes that recovery will require integrated decision making across many organizations with differing interests. As time passes, organizations are finding they have insufficient resources to maintain early recovery collaboration. There is also a risk of growing inter-organizational strain as linkages between groups break down. To fully recover, it will be important to address both structural needs like rebuilding infrastructure as well as social needs to support economic recovery and community wellbeing over the long term. Effective ongoing leadership will be critical to sustain recovery efforts and maintain morale.
1. The document discusses how communities of practice (CoPs) can be used as tools for cooperation among non-governmental organizations (NGOs). CoPs allow geographically dispersed people working toward shared goals to learn from each other through sharing experiences.
2. Networked CoPs that use online methods for contact and information sharing can help unite different stakeholders, find best practices, and allow easy community involvement to spread knowledge. This reduces isolation, duplication of efforts, and communication costs.
3. The document provides examples of how CoPs could help with issues like HIV/AIDS prevention, agriculture development, and human rights by giving local and affected people a voice, managing volunteer transitions, and dissemin
Pat shares a message about his 16 years living among the poor in Latin America. He believes that sharing one's faith can help overcome poverty and injustice in the world. By donating, one can support teaching Scripture to orphans, promoting a continental youth Bible mission, and giving retreats to at-risk youth about suicide prevention.

The document provides guidance for merchants on creating effective product datafeeds for affiliates. It recommends using a tab-delimited text file format and including key product information like SKU, name, description, price, images and categories. The datafeed should be delivered via FTP, HTTP download and web service ideally on a reliable daily schedule. Additional tips include using consistent IDs, handling sales data, and considering advanced filtering options for categories. Affiliates would benefit from clear documentation on the datafeed structure and delivery options.

This document provides an executive summary of a report evaluating the UN's Peacebuilding Architecture's (PBA) engagement with civil society. It finds that while PBA policies recognize the importance of civil society participation, this has not translated into meaningful involvement in practice. Engaging civil society more systematically could help make PBA activities more relevant, strategic and locally grounded. The summary outlines recommendations in areas like transparency, strategic partnerships, convening power and mutual accountability to strengthen civil society participation in the PBA at both the country and UN levels.

Felix dodds general assembly final may 2012 finalFelix Dodds
This document discusses the role of the UN General Assembly in supporting the Rio+20 conference and sustainable development more broadly. It outlines several key points:
1) It discusses the need for a high-level UN body to oversee sustainable development issues and lists functions such functions should include monitoring implementation and financing for sustainable technologies.
2) It emphasizes the importance of national implementation of sustainable development goals through national councils and engagement of local governments and stakeholders.
3) It brings up building a more sustainable world as an important issue and discusses corporate sustainability reporting standards and garnering support from private sector, UN, and civil society for a global reporting framework.
The document announces plans for annual United Nations MDG Awards to recognize accomplishments toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals and generate public support. The awards ceremony would take place at the UN General Assembly Hall and be broadcast globally, while also launching an online platform to encourage worldwide participation in discussions around achieving the MDGs.
FAQ asked questions on a human rights based approach to development cooperationDr Lendy Spires
This document provides guidance on a human rights-based approach to development. It summarizes that human rights are universal legal guarantees that protect individuals and groups from actions that interfere with fundamental freedoms. There are three types of human rights obligations - to respect, protect, and fulfill human rights. A human rights-based approach aims to conceptualize development cooperation and programming in a way that is normatively based on international human rights standards and operationally directed to promoting and protecting human rights. It seeks to empower people as both beneficiaries and rights-holders.
The document discusses sustainable development within the United Nations. It analyzes statements made at the 57th UN General Assembly to understand perceptions of sustainable development. It finds that views of sustainable development diverge across social, economic, and environmental issues but converge in associating it with global risks and forming partnerships. Sustainable development creates common language and political discourse. The conclusion is that within the UN, sustainable development represents a constructive ambiguity that facilitates cooperation across differing ideologies and reflects reflexive modernity in questioning modern political structures.

Main challenges to achieving Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015José Ferreiro
The report emphasizes that coherent economic and social policies as well as targeted programmes are needed to achieve MDG objectives and refers to good practices in a number of UNECE countries, including Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Montenegro, Poland, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation, Serbia, Tajikistan, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey and Ukraine.
The report also highlights a number of human development challenges which are specific to countries with transition economies. They include rising inequalities, setbacks in social protection, comparatively low male life expectancy and unprecedented migration flows. Moreover, the newly independent States emerging from the former Soviet Union and Yugoslavia have encountered additional problems of nation-building and for many of them this has been accompanied by regional tensions or large-scale conflicts, affecting deeply the human capital and cohesiveness of their societies. A characteristic of the Eastern part of the pan-European region is the discrepancy between the seriousness of these problems and the governance capacity to address them. Pursuing actively institutional reforms according to the principles of a participatory political and social system, and a market economy therefore constitutes an overall challenge for most of these countries.

The document discusses the ICRC's public communication strategies and challenges. It aims to gain understanding, acceptance, and support for its work; raise awareness of victims' needs; and promote international humanitarian law. It must differentiate itself from other humanitarian actors and manage its identity with multiple audiences. Challenges include maintaining neutral, independent humanitarian action amid changing environments and perceptions, and demonstrating the added value of the ICRC and Red Cross principles like neutrality, impartiality, and independence.
Will the united nations support crowdsourcing sustainabilityCrowdsourcing Week
The document discusses Jacob Scherr's proposal for the United Nations to use crowdsourcing as a new platform to develop global sustainability goals. Scherr believes that past UN negotiations have failed to create an effective sustainability plan and that crowdsourcing could engage stakeholders around issues like global warming, clean energy, and pollution. He presented this idea at the Rio+20 Conference and argues the UN must consider crowdsourcing as a serious work process for addressing sustainability challenges.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing.
