About Common Grounds

Preview of some results in this category:

„Citizens are the first victims of local and regional conflicts, of phenomena of violence, intolerance, terrorism, and environmental disasters; of violations of human rights and human dignity, and of new threats to peace, security, stability, and prosperity in the world. The cities of the world are confronted with a long list of common threats, which means that rich and poor nations should find common grounds in order to find common solutions. This is the new international role of the cities—to build bridges among cities and citizens and to make cooperation, prosperity, solidarity, and mutual understanding the prevailing characteristics of our time. Cities and local authorities play this role among others, because the notion of "people" has no longer the meaning it had in the past.“

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Saddam Christmas message: Excerpts (#)

„It is in this context that the American-Zionist campaign against Iraq is being launched, while the tone of a threatened, large-scale military aggression against our peace-loving people is growing louder, in addition to the aggression already inflicted and the unjust blockade still in place. Inspections 'shock' The aggressors use flimsy pretexts and fabrications, totally alien to the truth, despite the fact that Iraq has co-operated, and continues to co-operate, with the United Nations and the Security Council, and has expressed its firm desire to find common grounds of understanding and action, including our dealing with the bad Security Council Resolution 1441.“

BBC ON THIS DAY | 6 | 1983: Danes raid British fishing grounds (#)

„During the first three weeks of January 1983, European fishing laws were in a state of limbo and during this time the UK enforced the Sea Fish (Specified UK Waters - Prohibition of Fishing) Order 1982. On January 23, the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) came into force giving equal access to fishing grounds to European countries, with quotas set by the Council of Ministers. So the British government had to lift the ban. Some 18 months later, in July 1984, Kent Kirk won his case against the British government in the European Court of Justice.“

„According to Tacoma, Washington, kiosk business owner Sandy Gardner, one sure way to lock up a great location is to search out lease opportunities in large government complexes.

Operating brisk business hours, from 7am to 2pm, her breakfast, lunch and coffee business nets no less than $500 per day. Coffee accounts for over 60% of her daily sales.“
