No effort must be spared in tackling abuses and impunity, which tarnished the image of the Organization and peacekeeping missions.

But this never tarnished my high opinion of him. On the contrary, looking back on that era, it is amazing how much was achieved within such a short amount of time.

That period was, in many people s view, tarnished by greed, with rapid GDP growth accompanied by increasing inequality of income and wellbeing.

If the ECB grossly understates the risks, its credibility as a regulator will be badly tarnished. If it is more forthright about the risks, there is a chance that some periphery countries might have difficulty plugging the holes, and will require help from the north.

Much the same is true for organizations like FIFA. When sponsors like Coca Cola or Adidas believe that their reputations will be tarnished by association with an organization engaged in corrupt practices, they will take their brand management dollars elsewhere.

The publicity for the Summit had changed the image of the United Nations, which had been tarnished by the oil for food controversy in the months leading up to it.

ISTANBUL Turkey s beleaguered Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP) have emerged victorious from this week s local elections. Still, the AKP s triumph is unlikely to ameliorate the country s internal conflicts, much less revive its tarnished international standing.

No. I think the actual answer is that once you reframe it, once you get out of one set of stale expectations from a failed project that had its day, but now, for whatever reason, is tarnished, you can actually rekindle the kind of human kindness and sharing that something like this on Craigslist represents.

So, in most of the discussion about business models occasioned by the sale of the Washington Post to Amazon.com founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, the values that I have held dear are being tarnished. How so?

The scandals that have tarnished the image of the United Nations in recent months underscore the urgent need to strengthen the means as well as the financial and operational independence of the Office of Internal Oversight Services.

The question is whether this Greater Eurasia can help Europe find a way through its current security impasse. Some in Europe will doubtless prefer to strengthen the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe but the truth is that the OSCE, burdened by its Cold War history and its failure to secure the post Cold War peace, is too tarnished to play a decisive role.

The decade long economic slowdown of the 1990 s tarnished Japan s reputation, but it did not erase Japan s soft power resources. Japan s global cultural influence grew in areas ranging from fashion, food, and pop music to consumer electronics, architecture, and art.

Another aspect of America s domestic practice of liberal democracy that is currently being debated is how the US deals with the threat of terrorism. In the climate of extreme fear that followed the attacks of September 11, 2001, the Bush administration engaged in tortured legal interpretations of international and domestic law that tarnished American democracy and diminished its soft power.

With 192 members and a mandate that covers everything from security to refugees to public health, the United Nations is the world s only global organization. But polls in the United States show that two thirds of Americans think the UN is doing a poor job, and many believe it was tarnished by corruption during the Iraq oil for food program under Saddam Hussein.

In the eyes of many critics at home and abroad, the Bush administration s excesses tarnished the idea of democracy promotion. Bush s invocation of democracy to justify the invasion of Iraq implied that democracy could be imposed at the barrel of a gun.

But the doctrine of preemptive war has been badly tarnished, and I remain hopeful that Congress and the American people have learned a painful lesson. Peace will not quickly be restored to Iraq, and it is hard to conceive of opening up a major new front, when America can hardly manage what it has already undertaken.

Whatever the provocation that led to Zidane s behavior (probably a racial comment), his violent act, seen around the world, has tarnished his image. The sad paradox is that while the world had been learning of and celebrating his legendary kindness as a person, he will now be distinguished for all time by an act of aggression.

But the impression I had of a modern, capitalist economy was soon tarnished by an improperly working phone in a first class Beijing hotel. An American friend suspected that it was tapped, probably because of my role as an adviser to the Japanese government.

His own image has been tarnished by his inaction (or worse) during the massacre of more than a thousand Gujarati Muslims in a pogrom on his watch in 2002. Modi would rather be perceived as embodying Patel s decisiveness than as the destructive bigot his enemies decry.

The liberal model has become severely tarnished, owing to the rise in inequality and the plight of the middle class in the West, together with the financial crisis that deregulation spawned. Medium term growth prospects for the American and European economies range from moderate to bleak.

Mr. Elji (Syrian Arab Republic), referring to the question of sanctions, said that his delegation was extremely concerned by the double standards applied as far as criteria and policies were concerned sanctions were now more widely imposed than ever before and their credibility was frequently tarnished.

By contrast, companies whose managers believe that a competitive marketplace is no place for ethical behavior will suffer if and when consumers take their business elsewhere government regulation and fines force them to act or they become unable to attract an educated and ever more discerning workforce. All of it the constant scrutiny, the bad press, the tarnished reputation will hit their long term stock prices.

An obvious starting point for a Hamiltonian Europe would be to set some standard limit for federalized national debt perhaps the tarnished threshold of 60 of GDP that was mandated (without adequate enforcement) by the Maastricht convergence criteria, or perhaps a lower limit. Debt exceeding that amount would be left to the responsibility of the member states.

If Bulgaria sends this man back to Turkmenistan where he faces certain torture and the threat of a brutal death our claim to be part of a democratic, rights respecting Europe will ring hollow. Moreover, the EU s image as a defender of human rights around the world will be tarnished by its inability to hold member states to its own standards.

Only three months ago, Kan was chosen as the DPJ s top leader to restore its public image, which had been severely tarnished by political financing scandals involving his predecessor as prime minister, Yukio Hatoyama, and a separate scandal involving Ozawa. Hatoyama s mismanagement of Japan s relations with the United States, centered on the relocation of a Marine base in Okinawa, had also dented the DPJ s standing.
