(...) Industrial facilities, nuclear and other technological installations and transport systems are all vulnerable to natural hazards, and their design is not always adequate to withstand current or future impacts. In purely economic terms, the cost of natural and man-made disasters worldwide has been estimated at US$ 175 billion for 2016 alone, with US$ 9 billion of that stemming from man-made disasters.

(...) It is asserted that in certain circumstances stabilization can lead to regression to a more primitive type of monetary system, namely the abandonment of pure flat money based exclusively on authorization and sanction by the State.

  Czech Republic statement -- Universal Jurisdiction -- Sixth Committee (Legal) — 74th session

We believe that defining its scope and application is purely legal question and should not be burdened by political considerations which are unavoidable within the Sixth Committee. (...) Although some elements of the scope and application of the universal jurisdiction as they appear in the Informal paper have been agreed upon, there are still many differences among States on key aspects such as issues of customary nature of universal jurisdiction, in absentia trials and so on. (...) The Commission can dedicate more time for its consideration and use its knowledge from other studies that have relevance to this topic. Furthermore, by its nature the ILC can hardly be labelled as political and therefore any outcome of its work might enable to advance discussions on those aspects where differences among States prevail.

(...) However, imitating Chinese porcelain techniques was no easy feat, especially since the base colour of the raw clay in Basra was yellow and not pure white. However, by applying an opaque white base glaze, the potters could recreate a “blank canvas” on which to experiment spectacularly using blue and white patterns.
