The High Commissioners by Carl Bridge,Frank Bongiorno,David Lee Pdf

Marks the centenary of the posting of the first Australian High Commissioner in London, so beginning what is today Australia's oldest diplomatic mission. In 1910, when Sir George Reid was appointed its first High Commissioner in London, Australia was a self-governing but not yet sovereign state and the Australian Governor-General remained the most important channel of communication between the Australian and United Kingdom governments until the late 1920s. The book traces the history of the office and in doing so illuminates the larger story of Australian-United Kingdom relations in the twentieth century, the evolution of Australia from British colony to sovereign state and the gradual transition of the United Kingdom from head of an empire to member of the European Union.

Quiet Diplomacy in Action: The OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities by Walter A. Kemp Pdf

Quiet Diplomacy in Action is the first comprehensive account of the work of Max van der Stoel as High Commissioner on National Minorities for the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). Because Van der Stoel worked discreetly, until now very little has been written about his activities. This book takes the reader behind the scenes to explain why the post of High Commissioner was created, what his mandate is, how he worked in practice, and what recurrent themes and issues he encountered. Quiet Diplomacy in Action also gives a detailed summary of the High Commissioner's activities in the more than fifteen countries that he was involved with between 1993 and 2001. Major documents relating to national minorities in the OSCE context are included in an annex. As Michael Ignatieff writes in the Foreword: `Everyone talks about conflict prevention. One of the few senior figures that actually does it is the OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities'. This book, written in co-operation with Mr. Van der Stoel, gives a unique insight into conflict prevention, minority rights, and the challenge of resolving inter-ethnic tensions. It should be considered a primary resource for all those interested in these subjects.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights by Bertie G. Ramcharan Pdf

Ever since its creation, the United Nations has sought to protect as well as to promote human rights. Those who campaigned for decades for the establishment of the post of High Commissioner for Human Rights did so in the hope that the High Commissioner would spearhead the efforts of the United Nations and the international community to protect those at risk or whose rights are being violated. How has the High Commissioner contributed to international protection since the establishment of the office in 1993? This book, the first-ever written on the office since its establishment, presents the protection role of the High Commissioner. It argues that limited protection functions are carried out by the Security Council, the Secretary-General, the Commission on Human Rights and its special procedures, and the High Commissioner. However, international protection is still in its infancy and much more remains to be done to bring about a protection system that effectively anticipates and prevents gross violations, contributes to mitigation and cure, and facilitates remedies and compensation. This is a valuable pioneering work in the area of the international protection of human rights.

Commissions High by Roy MacLaren Pdf

"Roy MacLaren traces the history of Canada's High Commission back to the years following Confederation. He shows that Charles Tupper, George Perley, and Lord Strathcona were especially active in demonstrating the value of imperial cooperation and describes how the intimacy of the Anglo-Canadian relationship suffered in the inter-war years as a result of MacKenzie King's attempt to court political support in Quebec by portraying London as peopled by imperial centralists." "MacLaren revisits World War II, exploring how Vincent Massey and his post-war successor, Norman Robertson, recognized that a greatly debilitated Britain would seek economic salvation within Europe rather than in a rapidly changing Commonwealth. He also examines how, as United States trade and investment with Canada rapidly increased, George Drew (John Diefenbaker's appointee) worked in vain to increase Commonwealth ties. This left Charles Ritchie, high commissioner in 1970, to deal with the profound change in Anglo-Canadian relations despite Pierre Trudeau's growing commitment to the new Commonweath."--BOOK JACKET.

The Truth Commission by Susan Juby Pdf

A quirky, darkly funny novel from an acclaimed author--great for fans of Libba Bray and E. Lockhart. Normandy Pale and her friends are The Truth Commission. They have no fear; they're committed to exposing the things that no one else is brave enough or tactless enough to ask about at their high school for artists. But then, one of their truth targets says to Normandy: "If you want to know about the truth, you might want to look a little closer to home." Written as "narrative nonfiction" by Normandy herself, this unique--and uniquely compelling--story features footnotes, illustrations and a combination of mystery/love story that will capture readers from the first page.
