PROGRESS REPORT OF THE UNITED NATIONS MEDIATOR ON PALESTINE SUBMITTED TO THE SECRETARY-GENERAL FOR TRANSMISSION TO THE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED NATIONS : SUPPLEMENT TO PART 3 OF THE PROGRESS REPORT OF THE UNITED NATIONS MEDIATOR ON PALESTINE (A/648)
To make it suitable for use
by the Arabs, the clothing received is apt to need
considerable modification. With the exception of
the jacket worn by men, the men's dress, i.e. the
vest (sedirah), Persian trousers (shirwal), under-
wear and head-dress (eikal) and the women's
shirwal, galabieh and tarha are all very different
from European-style garments. An appeal was
therefore made for a quantity of cloth sufficient
to clothe 200,000 persons; it was hoped also that
in making up this material, the women refugees
"'1ight have something to do, with consequent im-
provement of morale. (...) The need for shelter and clothing is imme-
diate: every week's delay will mean a progressive
death-roll from" exposure.

Household spending on clothing and apparel is discretionary and therefore highly income elastic. Facing an income shock, households can forego buying clothes. A 1.3 per cent decline in US GDP growth during the Global Financial Crisis in 2009 resulted in more than 12 per cent decline in imports of clothing and apparel from the rest of the world. Furthermore, demand for non-essentials like clothing does not necessarily pick up immediately after the crisis.

LETTER DATED 69/01/07 FROM THE PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF JORDAN ADDRESSED TO THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
Commander Shimon Sapir who asked me two questions after which he asked me to
take my clothes off. Every time I took an article off, he would order me to take
off another, until I suspected the worst , and refused to continue my striptease.
(...) Sometimes enormous highly-trained dogs are introduced into your cell.
They tear at your clothes and body and expertly snatch at the cloth blindfolding
your eyes.
(...) Physical torture
Within this general environment, which, as can be seen, lends itself to many
combinations , physical torture, in the strict sense, is practised on you in one or
more of the following styles.
It should be remembered, however, that this happens to only a minority of
those arrested.

These sculptures were likely carried by the inhabitants of the Bengal region to Java, Sumatra, and Burma where their art style and design eventually became popular.
A collection of bronze sculptures from Mainamati-Chittagong (in the South East of modern Bangladesh) of the pre-Pala and post-Gupta period determined the existence of a local Centre for Buddhist Art in this region. (...) Hence, Southeast Asian arts and style remain unique because of the use of the local traditions along with Bengal artistic elements.

The shoes use a signature paneled, minimal style that uses a specially made mesh. "On" has become known for using a pastel-based color palette. (...) For other parts of "On" shoes, Brunner took inspiration from what he calls "design-free" areas such as nature and physiology: the lines on the shoes visually echo a muscle during effort.
You don't put styling over the functionality; you let the aesthetic develop over time.
(...) Its design philosophy remains the same. "You don't put styling over the functionality, you let the aesthetic develop over time," Brunner said in a 2020 interview with Highsnobiety.

LETTER DATED 92/10/05 FROM THE PERMANENT OBSERVER FOR PALESTINE TO THE UNITED NATIONS OFFICE AT GENEVA ADDRESSED TO THE UNDER-SECRETARY-GENERAL FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
Both the detainees and their families sometimes refuse visits which are
to take place under humiliating and shameful conditions, in which women and
young girls are stripped naked for purposes of searches on "security" grounds
in spite of the fact that the procedure for visits, in which the detainees and
their visitors are separated by barbed wire or perspex partitions to prevent
any physical contact, makes those disgraceful searches both unjustified and
illegitimate, particularly when the ladies are treated in a humiliating and
sarcastic manner while they are taking off their clothes in compliance with
unethical and inhuman orders.
(...) Those dark dungeons are situated below old sewage
pipes which leak onto the detainees’ bedding and the inmates are allowed to go
out into the courtyard, with their arms manacled in old-style iron shackles,
only for one hour a day.
It has frequently been proposed, to no avail, that this block should be
abolished and the isolated detainees returned to their detention centres where
they can live among their fellow Palestinian prisoners, since there is no
justification for their continued detention in that block for long periods of
time sometimes exceeding two years. (...) The detainees are also suffering from overcrowding, limited space
available for recreation, a shortage of beds and clothing and restrictions
that are imposed on purchases from the canteen, where they are allowed to buy
only a specified number of articles.

The manuscript is remarkable in that it records some artistic trends,
the convergence and adaptation of certain styles and the first steps in the formation of the
style that was later to be known as the early Safavid style, that is to say, the Tabriz school
of the first half of the sixteenth century.
(...) In principle, the Khamsa provides the most complete picture of the Tabriz style as
it developed, although, at the same time, it may be noted that the main components of early
Safavid painting are closely linked with both the Turkmen court style and the Herat style
of Bihzād.
(...) The miniatures in these manuscripts are eclectic: land-
scapes in the Qazvin-Mashhad style are to be found alongside classical Herat sixteenth-
century compositions; the treatment of human figures, their clothes and, particularly, their
faces appears to anticipate the Isfahan style of the seventeenth century even though the
paintings are executed in the traditions of the classical Persian miniature of the sixteenth
century.
