The other group is the cities bases of heavy, metal processing industry which, without huge investment cannot start up, or in which outdated technology makes it pointless to restart it at all (Zenica, Tuzla, Banja Luka).

The stationing of US Marines in northern Australia thus appears pointless these troops have no conceivable reason to be there. In addition, they have divided Australian public opinion unnecessarily on the vital issue of the country s security.

The only obstacle remaining to Palestinian leaders are the Americans. When Palestinians asked Mitchell for assurances that the US would support such a statehood declaration if talks failed, Mitchell responded that such a commitment would make negotiations pointless.

The State party notes that, while the author contends that to do so would have been pointless , it has been the Committee's constant approach that doubts about the effectiveness of remedies is not sufficient reason not to exhaust them.

Poverty and underdevelopment cannot be dissociated from the increased international tension and conflict that afflict political stability in various parts of the world, thus poisoning normal relationships between nations, because boundaries are pointless in this age of global interaction.

China s effort to hold down the value of the yuan vis à vis the dollar is thus a costly and pointless policy. By delaying a decision to float the yuan, the authorities are merely contributing to greater instability in the Chinese economy.

But the thaw in US Cuba relations has not been welcomed by all US politicians. Indeed, despite President Barack Obama s apparent desire to end the pointless diplomatic freeze, some right wing US politicians would, it seems, prefer a pariah to a potential partner off Florida s coast.

The bottom line is that the complexity and distinctiveness of China s economy mean that assessing its current state and performance requires a detail oriented analysis that accounts for as many offsetting factors as possible. Predictions are largely pointless, given that the assumptions underpinning them will invariably change.

From this perspective, once Buffett earned his first few millions in the 1960 s, his efforts to accumulate more money can easily seem completely pointless. Is Buffett a victim of the deception that Adam Smith described, and that Kahneman and his colleagues have studied in more depth?

True, armaments costs have risen sharply, but only because Putin s KGB friends, who monopolize weapons production, have stolen inordinate amounts. Yet, despite this spending shortfall, Putin seems obsessed with making pointless and provocative gestures, such as resuming long range nuclear bomber flights off the American coast.

Moreover, the constitutions of a number of CSTO countries expressly prohibit sending troops outside national territory.

But, instead of sticking to this position and turning a debate over debt forgiveness into a Draghi style diversionary tactic, Greece abandoned this demand within days. Then came the pointless provocation of refusing talks with the troika, despite the fact that the three institutions are all much more sympathetic to Greek demands than the German government.

To express guarded optimism about the Greek deal is not to condone the provocative arrogance of former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis or the pointless vindictiveness of German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble. Neither is it to deny the economic criticism of the bailout provisions presented by progressives like Joseph Stiglitz and conservatives like Hans Werner Sinn.

He agreed to swap Palestinian prisoners for an abducted soldier, Gilad Shalit but, for Netanyahu, as for most Israelis, negotiating with an organization whose blatantly anti Semitic charter rejects Israel s right to exist is pointless.

Over the past year and a half, in the wake of Thomas Philippon and Ariell Reshef s estimate that 2 of US GDP has been wasted in the pointless hypertrophy of the financial sector, evidence that America s financial system is less a device for efficiently sharing risk and more a device for separating rich people from their money a Las Vegas without the glitz has mounted.

In such cases, a remedy which remains pending after the action which interim measures are intended to prevent has taken place is, by definition, pointless because the irreparable harm cannot be averted if the domestic remedy subsequently yields a decision favourable to the complainant there is no longer any effective remedy to exhaust after the action which interim measures were intended to prevent has taken place.

7.9 To this extent, the Committee was of the view that returning the complainant to Algeria despite the request made to the State party under rule 108 of the rules of procedure, and before the admissibility of the complaint had been considered, made the remedies available to the complainant in France pointless, and the complaint was accordingly admissible under article 22, paragraph 5, of the Convention.
