Our success here in Bali will provide the necessary impetus for an expansion of global trade, that in the end, will help reduce poverty around the world,” said Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono .
“By failing to deliver this package we would fail businesses around the world. We would fail the unemployed and the underemployed. We would fail the poor, we would fail those who rely on food security schemes, we would fail developing country farmers, we would fail developing country cotton growers, and we would fail the least-developed economies as a whole,” said WTO Director-General Roberto Azevêdo .
(...) These obstacles “require political calls to overcome — political calls of a nature that we simply cannot make in Geneva”, he told the ministers.
If WTO members fail to agree within the next few days — and “it’s now or never,” he said — the loss would be more than the issues on the table themselves.

Press release
By failing to invest in breastfeeding, we are failing mothers and their babies
02 August 2017
UNICEF DRC/Dubourthoumieu
Available in:
Français
English
KINSHASA, 2 August 2017 - Babies and mothers worldwide failed by lack of investment in breastfeeding. (...) Nurturing the Health and Wealth of Nations: The Investment Case for Breastfeeding, suggests that meeting this target could save the lives of 520,000 children under the age of five and potentially generate US$300 billion in economic gains over 10 years, as a result of reduced illness and health care costs and increased productivity.
“ Breastfeeding is one of the most effective – and cost effective – investments nations can make in the health of their youngest members and the future health of their economies and societies ,” said UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake. “ By failing to invest in breastfeeding, we are failing mothers and their babies – and paying a double price: in lost lives and in lost opportunity .”

The contested decision is arbitrary and unlawful;
b. UNICEF failed to obtain the renewal of her visa;
c. UNICEF failed to send a formal letter of apology to the Government of
Pakistan;
d. UNICEF failed to allow the Applicant to work remotely and to reassign
her to another position commensurate with her grade, competence, skills and
experience; and
e. (...) Consequently, this argument also fails.
65. In light of the above, the Tribunal finds that Applicant has failed to
substantiate her allegations that the contested decision was tainted by improper
motives.

SEVENTEENTH MEETING
Montréal, 20 to 22 March 2007
Agenda item 2: Implementation of ePassports Agenda item 2.1: Progress and issues
PROCESSING TRAVELLERS PRESENTING ePASSPORTS THAT FAIL TO READ
Presented by the New Technologies Working Group (NTWG)
1. (...) BACKGROUND
2.1 There has only been limited discussion of the action that should be taken if a chip fails to read. In the discussions that have taken place up to now on e-passports, there has been a general acceptance that if the chip fails to open/read properly, then the passport should be treated as still valid. (...) Apart from border control, this might at some point involve carrying companies who may want to read the chip to confirm the authenticity of the document.
2.3 It is therefore of significant importance for both the user of the e-passport and those who may want to read the data on the chip, that there is a clear policy and guidance on the action to be taken

The Party concerned argues that eliminating the expenses of a negative outcome does
not seem reasonable from a constitutional point of view, as the party unjustly brought to trial
should be entitled to reimbursement of costs to stand victoriously in court.56
Limitations on legal aid for individuals and non-profit organizations – article 9 (5)
59. The communicant claims that the Party concerned fails to comply with the obligation
in article 9 (5) of the Convention to establish appropriate mechanisms to remove or reduce
financial and other barriers to access to justice.57
60. (...) The Committee therefore concluded that the
Party concerned had failed to comply with article 9 (4) of the Convention.74
85. (...) Based on the foregoing, the Committee finds that, by failing to ensure that costs orders
against unsuccessful claimants in review procedures under article 9 (2) and (3) of the
Convention are fair and not prohibitively expensive, the Party concerned has failed to comply
with article 9 (4) of the Convention.
