That integrated approach is far more promising than insistence on official development assistance supply targets.

And he was kept there by the owner's calm insistence.

OIOS noted the insistence of HOAs that CSPs should not be confused with or characterized as humanitarian activities.

Surprised by my insistence, the waiter took up the issue with the manager.

That is why, for the Netherlands, insistence on a test moratorium is part and parcel of our diplomatic efforts promoting the Treaty.

Just at yesterday's game, the Xiamen girl achieved several reversals of the shooting with her insistence.

These can be reactivated if Ethiopia abandons its present insistence on preconditions for the implementation of the demarcation .

The broader issue is transparency advocates insistence that open government can be reconciled with citizens privacy. But might wholly transparent government imply a wholly transparent citizen?

The Palestinian Authority welcomed the insistence by the United States Government that Israel must honour its commitment to halt settlement expansion, and hoped that those words would be translated into deeds.

This suggests that the State party accepts, in contrast to its earlier view, that the complainant is at risk of external pressure in the event of an insistence on an independent investigation.

That insistence reflects the attachment of policymakers in the EU especially in Germany to a conceptual framework that has led them consistently to underestimate the gravity of the situation and recommend policies that make matters worse.

The Committee's insistence that States provide, to the extent possible, a narrative description of the information that forms the basis or justification for adding a name to the List goes some way to address these concerns.

But the story didn't end when police officers managed to talk him down. News broadcasts covered his continued insistence that he did not forge his ticket, along with the lottery center's claims that their rejection of the ticket was legitimate.

It is with great regret that we witness a continuation of Turkey's provocative acts and its insistence on promoting and upgrading a secessionist entity in Cyprus, undermining thus any efforts towards reconciliation and reunification of the island.

That was yet another measure in a long series of efforts to engage and work with the rebels, particularly in humanitarian ventures, despite their obdurate insistence to remain armed and remain uncontested by any other democratic Tamil political party.

There are many topical aspects of the law of the sea and international fisheries that are worthy of our close attention, but their prominence is only obscured by our collective insistence on repeating the same things year after year.

Our creditors insistence on greater austerity is subtle yet steadfast. It can be found in their demand that Greece maintain unsustainably high primary surpluses (more than 2 of GDP in 2016 and exceeding 2.5 , or even 3 , for every year thereafter).

French insistence on harsh reparations payments after World War I clearly prepared the ground for the rise of Hitler. The rise of Greece s neo fascist Golden Dawn is a similar phenomenon.

While Europe s reputation for foreign policy softness continues to shape Iranian perceptions, the EU s role in compelling Iran to negotiate underpins the current talks. Likewise, it was France s insistence on more stringent controls that initially blocked the agreement in Geneva last November.

As Iran scanned the strategic horizon, it seemed obvious that the US had invaded Iraq because Saddam did not have any weapons of mass destruction. This made Ahmadinejad s insistence on Iran s nuclear rights popular with the Iranian masses and the middle class alike.

This was not only a gross violation of international law it also directly contravened Russia s oft stated insistence that no country has the right to ensure its security at the expense of another. The Ukrainian demonstrators marched against their government, not Russia s.

This is not to say that the economic concept of politics is utterly strange to the Chinese or, for that matter, that the religious notion of politics is unknown in the democratic West. But the insistence on orthodoxy is still sufficiently strong in China to remain the default defense against political critics.

In short, the riches, jobs, and development that would flow to all countries in the region from responsible energy exploitation may well be blocked by the insistence of each on getting what it regards as its fair share and denying access to its enemies.

President Donald Trump mocked Senator Dianne Feinstein at a rally on Saturday over her insistence she did not leak the letter from Christine Blasey Ford accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

This brings us back to Israel s continued colonization of Palestinian land, which all but excludes the possibility of a two state solution. Add to that the Israeli right s insistence that no concessions are possible on territorial issues, Jerusalem, or the Palestinians right of return, and it is clear that Kerry never really had a chance.

Meanwhile, Germany s insistence on imposing losses on bank creditors in Cyprus is the latest symptom of bailout fatigue in the core. Other core eurozone members, eager to limit the risks to their taxpayers, have similarly signaled that creditor bail ins are the way of the future.

In that regard, Israel's insistence on possessing nuclear capabilities and its refusal to accede to the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and to place its nuclear facilities under the safeguards regime of the International Atomic Energy Agency place the entire region in great danger.

The insistence by the Trial Chambers on having two Defence counsel and, in the event of illness or absence of one counsel, requiring the remaining counsel to continue, will reduce the occurrence of interruptions of trials.

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.

Both the dominant Justice and Development Party (AKP) and its secular rivals remain publicly committed to pursuing EU membership, but in practice doubts have emerged. French President Nicolas Sarkozy s insistence that a referendum should be held on Turkey s admission suggests that years of painful adjustment to EU norms will never produce the payoff of membership.

First, in contrast to the revitalization agendas of the 1980s, which were formulated at the insistence of external financial and donor institutions, recent reforms are more likely to be home grown and directed at specific problems and challenges.

Egypt s major obstacle is Hamas s insistence on an end to the Israeli siege and targeted killings as part of a ceasefire agreement. The challenge for Egyptian leaders is to persuade Hamas to settle on lesser terms without further fighting.

The IMF does have up to date guidelines that define and seek to prevent currency manipulation. These were adopted not only with America s assent, but at its insistence, at a time (the mid 2000s) when China s renminbi was greatly undervalued, contributing to the loss of millions of US manufacturing jobs.

Fair minded observers of the four month long negotiations between Greece and its creditors cannot avoid a simple conclusion The major sticking point, the only deal breaker, is the creditors insistence on even more austerity, even at the expense of the reform agenda that our government is eager to pursue.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has been unequivocal in its insistence that reducing CO 2 emissions and diminishing dependence on fossil fuels is more urgent than ever. It has made it clear that CCS, the only technology that can capture at least 90 of the CO2 emissions from the world's largest producers, must be a part of the solution.

It is hard for me to believe that if Greece had abandoned the euro in 2010, the economic fallout would have amounted to even a quarter of that. Furthermore, it seems equally improbable that the immediate impact of exiting the eurozone today would be larger than the long run costs of remaining, given the insistence of Greece s creditors on austerity.

These partners should not allow the European project to be sacrificed on the altar of German public opinion or German leaders insistence on rules. If Germany s government refuses to see the light, the others should find a way forward without it.

After a brilliant secondary education, Phelps entered Amherst College in Massachusetts without any specific idea about which discipline to embrace or which career to follow. He was passionate about philosophy but, at the insistence of his father, took classes in economics.

At Germany s insistence, the ECB will supervise only the eurozone s 130 or so biggest banks. That will leave the smaller Ländesbanks (state owned regional banks), many of which made spectacularly bad lending decisions in the bubble years, and Sparkassen (smaller savings banks) in the hands of local politicians and Germany s pliable financial supervisor.

Experience demonstrates the dangers that can arise when vulnerable powers act independently. One need look no further than Israel, with its penchant for overreaction on security matters, or Iran, with its insistence on enriching uranium, to see what can happen when an isolated power bases its actions on a sense of existential vulnerability.

This intergovernmental mode of enlargement decision making was evident as Slovenia made significant maritime territorial demands of Croatia. It can also be seen in the continuing Greek objections to Macedonia s name and the Bundestag s insistence on approving the progress of individual applicant states a demand that has complicated relations with Turkey enormously.

I should like to remind the Council of the pledges and commitments undertaken at the historic meeting held in Nairobi on 19 November 2004, including its commitment to accelerate the adoption of the resolution on the mission's mandate and its insistence that the parties conclude a peace agreement as agreed at Nairobi.

For example, speaking recently in New Delhi, Secretary of State John Kerry said that the key to stabilizing Afghanistan is to build a new silk road connecting it with central Asia a cynical contrivance apparently aimed at cloaking America s failure in illusions of future commerce. Kerry s insistence that the US is not withdrawing, but drawing down, is a similarly transparent attempt at manipulation.

In 1997, Korea suffered not only from the Asian financial crisis, but also from insistence by the US and the International Monetary Fund that it raise interest rates and undertake Washington Consensus style reforms to receive aid. Employment recovered, but primarily in non regular jobs with limited benefits, low wages, and little job security.

A critical component in the coordination and proper functioning of Europe s security and defense policy is the European Defense Agency. At the upcoming summit, leaders should reiterate the importance of the EDA, whose budget has remained frozen at the insistence of certain member states.
