However, it is difficult to get a clear and comprehensive picture of the religious life beyond those registered religious communities. (...) Decree 92 does not seem to have made the life of the religious or belief communities easier with its extra layer of bureaucratic requirements, although the time frame within which the authorities are required to respond is shorter than before. (...) Concerns were expressed that the forced eviction of the residents of Con Dau would seriously disrupt the cultural and religious life of the community (see A/HRC/27/72, case VNM 3/2014).

In addition to the chemical synthesis of a genome able to control a bacterial cell (Craig Venter’s artificial life) other important stepping stones include: the engineering of the metabolic pathway in yeast to produce the precursor of an anti-malarial drug;83 the creation of a synthetic mammalian gene circuit that revealed anti-tuberculosis compounds;84 a demonstration of distributed biological computation; and the engineering of an E. coli to sense and kill a human pathogen.85 14. (...) Laboratories are becoming increasingly digitized.136 This has helped extract information that was previously obscured and has made it easier and quicker to accomplish certain tasks. Increasingly the life sciences are referred to as information sciences. (...) Some of this software makes it easier to visualise complex biological information, including: genome sequence data: 137 http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.2990/28_2_2 138 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20231483 139 http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.1000117 140 http://www.sciencemag.org/content/334/6062/1518 141 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1752-0509/2/70 142 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2387229/ 143 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2586632/ 144 http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.1000118 145 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18277381 146 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1752-0509/2/66 147 http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.1000210 148 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1752-0509/2/86 149 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1752-0509/2/78 150 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1752-0509/2/84 151 http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2011/vivo-systems-biology-0323.html 152 http://www.pnas.org/content/107/28/12417.abstract 153 http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.1002010 154 http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.1000285 155 http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2011/05/28/nar.gkr433.full 156 http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2009/11/11/nar.gkp919.short 157 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/9/483/abstract 158 http://www.genomeweb.com/informatics/nhgri-funds-new-sequencing-data-software-projects BWC/MSP/2012/MX/INF.1 GE.12-61124 16 sequence assembly data; plasmid maps; gene expression; comparative and functional genomic data; transcription; secondary structure of RNA;159 and biochemical networks. 160 29.

United States The WHO/WIPO/WTO report underscores that facilitating international exchange in the life sciences is a complex matter. The private sector plays a tremendous role in ensuring both innovation and access, and governments can support or hinder through practices such as import tariffs or failures to uphold intellectual property rights. (...) WP.17 Iran (NAM) In light of rapid developments in the life sciences, there is a need to strengthen cooperation among States Parties in order to bridge the ever increasing gaps in the fields of biotechnology, genetic engineering, microbiology and other related areas between 
 developed and developing countries. (...) S 13/8 AM Iran (NAM) The sharing of results of advanced research in life sciences is especially important for the scientists, engineers, students and teachers in developing countries to take full advantage of new developments in biological sciences and technology.

A pharmaceutical company that develops a life-saving medicine has performed a vitally important medical, public health and right-to-health function. (...) The company, and its employees, has made a major contribution to the realisation of the rights to life and the highest attainable standard of health. (...) Because of its critical social function, a patent on a life-saving medicine places important right-to-health responsibilities on the patent holder.

The US Government plans to extend the life of the Trident D5 missile to around 2042 to match the life of their Ohio-class submarines. (...) We have concluded that, if we are to maintain unbroken deterrent capability at the end of the life of the Vanguard-class submarines, we need to take decisions now on whether to replace those submarines and whether to participate in the Trident D5 life extension programme. (...) There is nothing in the planned Trident D5 life extension programme that will change this position. 4-7.

Article 5 of the Federal Constitution guarantees that “all persons are equal before the law, without any distinction whatsoever, Brazilians and foreigners residing in the country being ensured of inviolability of the right to life, liberty, equality, security and property”. (...) In such a A/HRC/15/20/Add.4 GE.10-15702 10 situation, it is more difficult for farm owners to refuse to cooperate and easier to get workers paid the money they are owed. (...) Bolivians have proved to be much easier to exploit than poor Brazilians for a number of reasons.

Her hope has been that with the conclusion of her conception study, the necessary chore of measuring up counter-terrorism measures for compatibility would be substantially easier. In this light, in the course of her study she paid particular attention to those issues relating to human rights and terrorism that presented the most difficulties (distinguishing terrorists from combatants, for example), as lack of either precision or understanding in those areas would make the task of developing guidelines factious, frustrating, and perhaps ultimately fruitless. 3. (...) Penalties for convicted terrorists shall conform with all international and national rules, especially those relating to the death penalty and life sentences without possibility of parole.

By 2030, the life expectancy of Chinese women will be 79 years compared with 76 years for men. While the difference in life expectancy is expected to narrow in most high-income countries, it will further expand in China. (...) Regional differences in health status and life expectancy also exist; for example, older persons living in economically well-developed regions have a higher disability-free life expectancy than older persons residing in rural and/or less developed parts of China.9 10.

mandate to protect the life, freedom, safety, property, prosperity, religious sites and cultural heritage of the Kosovo Serb community. (...) The fundamental safeguards for life and property and the freedom of movement are easier to achieve comprehensively in the areas linked in this way. (...) In a nutshell, the new organisation of the life of Serbs in the province would certainly open a new, peacetime page in the life of the multiethnic society of Kosovo and Metohija. 14 Annex: Status of Serbs Outside Territorial Autonomy (Region) Freedom of expression of national identity The freedom to express national affiliation is guaranteed.
