Committee on the Elimination

Nigeria Ogoni 14 April 2005 Addendum to the MOSOP Shadow Report to the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD)... 

CERD General Comment The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination has adopted a General Comment on self-determination even though the Convention does not mention self-determination. The Committee points out that self-determination has an internal and an external aspect. Internal self-determination concerns the economic, social and culmral development while external self-determination means freely determining the political stams. ...

Other UN bodies have also referred to the right to remedial secession, such as the 1993 Report of the Rapporteur to the UN Sub-Commission Against the Discrimination and the Protection of Minorities on Possible Ways and Means of Facilitating the Peaceful and Constructive Solution of Problems Involving Minorities, and the General Recommendation XXI adopted in 1996 by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. ...

One of the ways an organization can be successful in working on the elimination of workplace hazards is by instituting a safety committee. A well-structured and -trained safety committee will allow employees from all levels to participate, which will increase total safety awareness of all employees within the organization. Normal functions of a safety committee are to ... 

For a decade and a half following World War I there had been a Medical Division in OC CWS. But in 1932 General Gilchrist had eliminated this division, and thereafter CWS and the Medical Department maintained co-ordination solely through the medical research group at Edgewood Arsenal. Just prior to World War II, increased emphasis began to be placed on the medical aspects of gas warfare, and a Committee on the Treatment of Gas Casualties was set up within the National Research Council. Later, when the Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD) was activated, the work was also carried on by its various committees and subcommittees. The chemical warfare functions of the National Research...

As an alternative to the addition of oxidants, ultraviolet (UV) treatment may be used. UV treatment has found to be less elfective than chlorine or ozone in preventing biofouling, however unlike those methods, it does not incur additional downstream processing (Committee on Advancing Desalination Technology, National Research Council 2008 Cotmvo 2005). This eliminates the need for the use sodium bisulphite or other reducing agents and the potential for FRC or ozone to be present in the final concentrate.

The main thrust of the Swinton Committee s report in November 1954 was its support for the RAF s case for a nuclear deterrent of 240 V-bombers. It was argued that the very survival of Britain in war would depend upon the prompt elimination of Soviet air bases, and that that task could not be left to the US Strategic Air Command as there could be no assurance about American priorities as regards targets. This argument was publicly stated by Churchill on 1 March 1955 in the debate on the 1955 Defence White Paper, which announced the decision to develop the hydrogen bomb. ° Yet the priority for the nuclear deterrent was not absolute the White Paper also stated that Britain must play its part in defending the interests of the free world as a whole, and particularly the Commonwealth and Empire , in the Cold War, for which role the army and navy were required. ... 

Although unfortified cow s milk contains only small amounts of vitamin D, milk lends itself well to vitamin D fortification (NAS 1980A). While fortification is optional, approximately 98% of fluid milk marketed in the United States is fortified with vitamin D to obtain standardized amounts of 400 IU or 10 /ig/quart (FDA 1973). Vitamin D fortification of milk has been largely responsible for the virtual elimination of rickets in the United States (AMA 1955 Gallagher and Riggs 1978 DeLuca 1978). Moreover, vitamin D fortification of fluid whole milk, as well as other milk products such as lowfat and skim milks and nonfat dry milk, is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, Committee on Nutrition (1967), and the American Medical Association, with the concurrence of the Food and Nutrition Board, National Academy of Sciences, National Research Council and the Expert Panel on Food Safety and Nutrition of the Institute of Food Technologists... 

Suter et al. 1993 Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry [SETAC] 1994 European Union 1997 Ecological Committee on FIFRA Risk Assessment Methods [ECOFRAM] 1999 Campbell et al. 1999). The initial use of conservative assessment criteria (i.e., err on the side of caution) allows substances that do not present a risk to be eliminated from the risk assessment process early, thus allowing the focus of resources and expertise to be shifted to potentially more problematic substances or situations. As one ascends through the tiers, the estimates of exposure and effects become more realistic with the acquisition of more accurate and/or representative data, and uncertainty in the extrapolation of effects is thus reduced or at least better characterized. Likewise, the methods of extrapolation may become more sophisticated as one ascends through the tiers (Figure 1.2).

The United States Navy has been concerned for some time with protecting its military and civilian personnel from reproductive and developmental hazards in the workplace. As part of its efforts to reduce or eliminate exposure of Naval personnel and their families to reproductive and developmental toxicants, the Navy requested that the National Research Council (NRC) recommend an approach that can be used to evaluate chemicals and physical agents for their potential to cause reproductive and developmental toxicity. The NRC assigned this project to the Committee on Toxicology, which convened the Subcommittee on Reproductive and Developmental Toxicology, to prepare this report. In this report, the subcommittee recommends an approach for evaluating agents for potential reproductive and developmental toxicity and demonstrates how that approach can be used by the Navy. 

Benito recalls. Gilmaitin eliminated a lot of the paperwork, but that, Benito says, didn t really improve the situation because instead he introduced all sorts of other committees and processes, which probably had a more paralyzing effect on the organization. People felt that they needed to get someone s written approval to make sure that the top management was on board. At least under Vagelos, they already had the sign-off. ...

Although this theory was popularized in the 1970s, well-controlled studies conducted since then have produced no evidence that food and drug color additives such as azo dyes (FD C yellow 5, FD C yellow 6, etc.) cause hyperactivity or learning disabilities in children. A Consensus Development Panel of the National Institutes of Health concluded in 1982 that there was no scientific evidence to support the claim that colorings or other food additives cause hyperactivity. The panel said that elimination diets should not be used universally to treat childhood hyperactivity, because there is no scientific evidence to predict which children may benefit. The FDA s Advisory Committee on Hypersensitivity to Food Constituents concluded in 1986 that FD C yellow 5 (tartrazine) might cause hives in fewer than 1 out of 10,000 people. The Committee found that there was no evidence the color additive in foods provokes asthma attacks or...
