Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.

Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.

Banditry and lawlessness were the primary cause of insecurity in Western Darfur during September.

It creates a general state of lawlessness that also increases the country's vulnerability to re infiltration by Al Qaida.

From environmental degradation through international lawlessness to energy crises, it is the small States that are often the first victims.

This put an end to years of lawlessness and illegal parallel structures, a legacy of the Bosniak Croat war there.

The increased lawlessness in Côte d'Ivoire is precisely the result of the culture of impunity, which the report so vividly depicts.

For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

In my statement to the Council on the November report, I spoke about the risk of sliding back into lawlessness and anarchy.

The most urgent challenge facing the new government is rampant lawlessness and anarchy throughout Palestinian society. Murder, kidnapping, and extortion have reached record heights.

While large scale organized violence has substantially diminished, civilians continue to be subject to lawlessness and banditry, and women and girls continue to be raped.

While the withdrawal of heavy weapons from the zone of confidence was a positive development, continuing lawlessness in the zone continues to be of serious concern.

The reconstruction effort is of vital importance for the people of Afghanistan and provides the vehicle by which the cycles of poverty, lawlessness and violence can be broken.

In northern and central Katanga, most Mayi Mayi commanders have so far refused to join the brassage process and lawlessness continue to prevail in 10 out of Katanga's 21 territories.

That, in turn, has led to violations of the sanctity of human life and dignity and contributed to the eruption of wars and lawlessness in many parts of the world.

That report will also be useful to those who may continue to doubt the effectiveness of the Transitional Federal Government in extricating Somalia from its current predicament of chaos and lawlessness.

The terrorism of non State actors and the unilateral force by certain States were two sides of a common problem which were mutually reinforcing and which contributed to global insecurity and lawlessness.

As a result, I can confidently report to the Assembly today that our efforts at reclaiming Somalia from its lawlessness are already under way and have already produced concrete results on the ground.

Even if Obama wins, he may well be a radically weakened president. The Bush administration has created a transnational apparatus of lawlessness that he alone, without global intervention, can neither roll back nor control.

Security, economic and social conditions in some parts of Afghanistan remained obstacles to return, with the threat from extremist elements continuing and the government and public institutions facing formidable challenges in combating lawlessness and addressing human rights issues.

The descent into lawlessness by the armed movements, unprecedented criminality in Nyala and violence against humanitarian workers and property in some camps for internally displaced persons is a dangerous pattern that demands urgent corrective action by the parties.

They elected a party which called for reform and change in response to a decade of violence and lawlessness. And Palestinians accepted Hamas s view that negotiations based on the Oslo Accords could not achieve Palestinian rights and political ambitions.

It does not make sense to help Somalis reach a comprehensive political settlement of their long conflict while at the same time denying them the ability to build the institutions through which they can overcome lawlessness in their country.

Unfortunately, in my report for the month of September 2005 (S 2005 650), I described a sharp increase in violence that included clashes between the parties, attacks on villages and a further deterioration in security due to widespread banditry and lawlessness.

Civilians were again displaced from their villages, in some cases for the second or third time. Moreover, the looming threat of complete lawlessness and anarchy draws nearer, particularly in western Darfur, as warlords, bandits and militia groups grow more aggressive.

I also look to the Unionist community to show determination in condemning and doing all it can to discourage the continuation of the appalling lawlessness, which has in recent times so badly affected both loyalist communities and their vulnerable nationalist neighbours.

The first days of joy on regaining freedom gave way to 45 years of the subjugation of those States through an imposed regime of violence and lawlessness, of trampling human dignity and of total subordination to the rule of Stalin's Soviet Union.

But neither justifies the blatant lawlessness with which the AKP government has clamped down on the corruption allegations. The upshot is that Turkey s institutions, unlike Brazil s, are being captured and corrupted to an extent that will hamper economic growth and development for years to come.

Besides the general devastation that modern warfare brings, impoverished and angry Russian soldiers were wreaking havoc on civilians by stealing belongings left behind and raping women. In addition, lawlessness was enticing bandits to cross the border and vandalize and rob properties left by fleeing refugees.

Although Somalia had suffered widespread violence, anarchy and lawlessness for 14 years, the progress towards reconciliation, the establishment of a Transitional Federal Government and the election of 275 members of parliament had renewed hopes for a return to peace, security, law and order and development.

The absence of firm support for the readmission of Somalia into the fold of the international community and for making it stable will only play into the hands of international terrorism and of those who promote the continuation of an environment of chaos and lawlessness.

The uncertainty and disorder that have plagued Egypt for the last 18 months are fueling increasing lawlessness in Sinai. Last month, a pipeline carrying Egyptian natural gas to Israel and Jordan was bombed the 15th such attack since Mubarak s regime was toppled and remains out of commission.

A radical lawlessness was at the heart of Ukraine s privatization process. So we must not be tricked by the fact that those who gained economic power by looting state assets now employ lawyers, invoke free market nostrums, and claim to follow the letter of the law.

Even after promises by the State Government to implement joint military and police patrols on the highways in order to ensure security, lawlessness and banditry have reached such dangerous levels that all roads out of Geneina remain open to United Nations staff only with approved armed escorts.

This tendency was not a serious issue before World War II (though the people of Abyssinia and Manchuria may beg to differ). But today, US withdrawal from the international system that it built has serious ramifications namely, the kind of chaos and lawlessness exemplified by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

In addition, lawlessness was enticing bandits to cross the border and vandalize and rob properties left by fleeing refugees. News reports and analysis by state controlled channels in both Russia and Georgia that promote negative images of the enemy serve only to widen the gap between ethnic groups.

Putin may not have ordered the hit on Nemtsov or any of the others. But, like Stalin, he has nurtured a climate of fear and lawlessness, in which those who rally behind the Kremlin feel a duty to eliminate the leader's opponents however they can, and in anticipation of his will.

Everyone knew about the underinvestment, over exploitation, and lawlessness that characterize Putin s Russia, but no international power was interested in discussing, let alone combatting, it. Only when the Russian state decided in 2014 to elevate kleptocracy to a principle of foreign policy did Putin s system of government become an international concern.

Moreover, like Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan, dynastic politics in Azerbaijan reflects the dominance of clans whose members success is determined by proximity to the president. While such systems may appear stable, they are inherently fragile, for they are synonymous with lawlessness, injustice, and abject poverty for the majority of the population.

Thus, the current conflict is essentially a pre emptive war by Hamas aggravated by lawlessness and banditry, clashing free lance militias, tribes, and families, and a spiral of senseless massacres to prevent Fatah from being turned by the international community into a formidable challenger to its democratic right to govern.

While we share the concern at the underrepresentation of women in formal peace processes, we are equally alarmed at the persistent obstacles and impediments women face as a result of situations such as violence against women, shattered economies and social structures, lawlessness, poverty and limited access to education and resources.

Egypt s fears are mainly of Sudan s disintegration into a chaotic tapestry of mini states controlled by warlords and plunged into lawlessness and bloody tribal feuds. In that case, what remains of Sudan Khartoum, Gezira, and the two northern states might degenerate even further, probably turning into a base for global Islamic terrorism.

The alliance in the fight against terrorism between Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf and the United States is imperative not only for America, but for Pakistan a Muslim majority nation whose social fabric is being torn apart by militancy and lawlessness. But will an exclusive focus on military power ultimately prove to be counter productive?

The lawlessness and absence of security makes finding a political solution almost impossible. When local elders and delegates wanted to assemble in Mogadishu for a reconciliation conference, security conditions forced them to postpone the conference for several months (though when they did meet, in big numbers and for a long time, they achieved no breakthrough).
