Containment, not Appeasement

Containment Begins at Home

The Containment Debate, Round Two

The Economics of Strategic Containment

(a) Containment Sites or facilities, fixed or mobile, meeting the criteria of the World Health Organization (WHO) of high or maximum containment for work with human and animal pathogens, or with containment for working with plant diseases

But this our containment of the visible universe.

We'll fly outside it here, just to see this sort of containment.

No State could have achieved this degree of containment on its own.

Be it containment or rollback, the rules of the game should be clear.

It is designed to provide a solid containment for the remnants of the reactor.

Measurements were made when the warheads were in various levels of containment and shielding.

It was the only global treaty dedicated to the containment and eventual elimination of nuclear weapons.

So then you have the villain containment unit, where kids put their parents. You have the office.

We back so far up we're finally seeing a containment around us the afterglow of the Big Bang.

Fortunately, once in office, the Eisenhower administration had the sense to stick with containment in Europe, continuing a policy that is widely credited for winning the Cold War. President John F. Kennedy s insistence, against much advice, on containment during the Cuban missile crisis saved the world from nuclear war.

The GT Act regulates dealing with all GMOs and, depending on the dealing, may impose conditions such as containment requirements.

The Gene Technology Regulator also certifies containment facilities known to be used for gene technology work and some not used for gene technology work.

What do we do when we don't have any containment rooms with reverse air that will allow the healthcare workers to take care of patients?

The spray dryers at Al Hakam lacked the required biological safety containment features, which Iraqi scientists recognized as a necessary condition for their own protection.

Considerations related to the low level of biological containment were major factors in the initial perception of the unsuitability of Al Hakam for the production of pathogens.

Again, maintaining realistic expectations must be paramount. A successful outcome in the nuclear negotiations and resolution or even containment of the main regional conflicts will be difficult to achieve.

The US, like Australia, denies that all of this adds up to a policy of containment aimed at China. But few in the Western Pacific see it that way.

One of two things will happen either tighter containment of Iran through sanctions on oil exports will produce positive results and weaken Iran, or containment will fail, leading the US inexorably toward a new war in the Middle East. It is not unlikely that some in US foreign policy circles regard the deepening Iraqi crisis as a building block in constructing the case for military intervention in Iran.

According to the CDB, in the public sector, containment of expenditures, particularly on capital items, offset revenue shortfalls and led to an improvement in the Government's overall fiscal position.7

When, however, the very lives of migrants were in jeopardy, the main concern had to be with the human rights of migrants and not with policies for the containment of migration.

Considerations related to the low level of biological containment were major factors in the initial perception of the unsuitability of Iraq's dedicated biological weapons production facilities for the production of pathogens.

The weapons inspectors were pulled out, and America opted for preemptive war. Bush was portrayed as facing down a new Hitler with Churchillian resolve, and advocates of containment were accused of appeasement.

The trend towards regionalization of solutions to refugee situations, however, could be interpreted as a new form of containment of refugee movements, and hence a derogation from the principle of international responsibility.

It was assumed that the very low level of biological containment in the facility prevented it from being used for the production of dangerous pathogens and that its equipment was not suitable.

Finally, the Transboundary Movements of Genetically Modified Organisms Regulation 1946 2003 includes requirements relating to medium and high risk genetically modified micro organisms in containment and their entering or leaving of the EU.

It was assumed that the very low level of biological containment in the facility prevented it from being used for the production of pathogens and that its equipment was not suitable for such production.

He pointed out that between 2002 and 2015 a significant reduction in emissions from banked gases could be achieved by containment, recovery, recycling, destruction and the use of alternatives with less global warming potential.

However, a number of areas for improvement were identified, including fuel transfer and storage containment oil spill contingency plans the environmental impact assessment of current activities air emission filtering and monitoring and sewage treatment systems.

So long as the EU continues to sway between integration and containment, it will continue to appear to the Kremlin as weak and directionless. That, in turn, will merely encourage Russia to become even more assertive.

These measures have a preventing character and the response, suppression, containment and control in case security is breached or of a security incident is a matter for the police and the security services of each State.

But a closer look reveals that China is not a part of this agenda. The TPP is also a political response to China's new aggressiveness, built therefore in a spirit of confrontation and containment, not of cooperation.

The report showed that up to 60 per cent of current emissions from HFC uses could be avoided through strategies such as containment, proper servicing and training of personnel, illustrating the value of responsible use of HFCs.

The Hospital Preparedness Program was designed specifically to train health personnel on disease containment in the setting of unforeseen epidemics, such as Ebola. Had it been adequately funded, perhaps the two nurses now infected would still be healthy.

But the tiny number of Ebola cases in rich countries and the ensuing panic inducing headlines and quarantine measures have brought home the global nature of infectious disease today. Mass travel has made effective containment of epidemics extremely difficult.

The West s response will be a new containment policy, mainly taking the form of economic and diplomatic measures. Europe will reduce its energy dependence on Russia, review its strategic alignment and priorities, and scale back investment and bilateral cooperation.

The US cannot leave Iraq precipitously, but neither can it solve the problem on its own. Establishing a contact group of Iraq s neighbors to help set rules of the road for stabilization and containment will be an important step.

(3) Appropriate facilities shall be made available for disinfection, changing clothes, toilet, natural and artificial light, ventilation, prevention of spoilage, protection against dust, elimination of flies and rodents, washing of equipment, sewage discharge and the containment of garbage and other wastes

Yet, between all out containment, which is very unlikely and not necessarily desirable or realistic, and accommodation which borders on appeasement, which would be dangerous for Europe s future, a third way, based on a few firm principles, must be found.

True, Russia lacks the means to achieve Putin s aims. But the rest of the world nonetheless needs the Kremlin s cooperation and goodwill as it pursues efforts such as the containment of Iran s nuclear ambitions and the fight against the Islamic State.

Nonetheless, the US seems destined to remain the world s most important actor for the foreseeable future. But today it is an actor without a script it lacks a strategic guide comparable to the Cold War s containment doctrine to prioritize policy.
