Government forces continued to perpetrate massacres and conduct widespread attacks on civilians, systematically committing murder, torture, rape and enforced disappearance amounting to crimes against humanity. (...) That is a continuation — and a geographic expansion — of the widespread and systematic attack on the civilian population identified in document A/HRC/25/65. (...) ISIS inflicts severe physical or mental pain or suffering on civilian populations in areas under its control, as part of a widespread and systematic attack on the civilian population.

  World Telecommunication Development Report 1999: Mobile Cellular - Summary - Page 11

Universal service and access requirements for mobile cellular revolve around three areas: achieving widespread coverage; ensuring that mobile operators contribute to universal service/access funds and can draw upon those funds; mandating the installation of a certain number of public payphones. (...) The availability of a pre-paid service is also important since potential users are not excluded for reasons of credit unworthiness. Promoting widespread coverage is the starting point for ensuring that mobile cellular contributes to universal access.

Ladies and Gentlemen, It has to be recalled that among others, the Dubai declaration recognised that; a) Universal and affordable access to telecommunications/information and communication technologies (ICTs) is essential for the world's economic, social and cultural development, and contributes to building a global economy and information society; c) Widespread conformance and interoperability of telecommunication/ICT equipment and systems through the implementation of relevant programmes, policies and decisions can increase market opportunities and reliability and encourage global integration and trade; and therefore declared among others that, With convergence, policy-makers and regulators should continue to promote widespread, affordable access to telecommunications/ICTs, including Internet access, through fair, transparent, stable, predictable and non-discriminatory enabling policy, legal and regulatory environments, including common approaches to conformance and interoperability that promote competition, increase consumer choices, foster continued technological and service innovation and provide investment incentives at national, regional and international levels. Increased participation of developing countries in ITU activities to bridge the standardization gap is needed in order to ensure that they experience the economic benefits associated with technological development, and to better reflect the requirements and interests of developing countries in this area. Building widespread telecommunication/ICT literacy as well as human and institutional capacity in the development and use of telecommunication/ICT networks, applications and services are key to enabling people to access and contribute to information, ideas and knowledge. (...) ASSESSMENT STUDIES done for EAC SADC and Maghreb/UMA aiming at promoting regional integration and C&I regimes. This is the reason ITU also invited the three Secretariats participating in this meeting In addition, ITU has Study Questions in C&I to which all of us present here are expected to contribute.

Over a thousand companies have been licensed around the world to provide mobile service thanks to the widespread introduction of competition. Handset prices have dropped tremendously due to growing market sizes, which permit economies of scale, technological enhancements and, in some cases, cross-subsidization of handset prices. (...) There are a number of reasons why mobile can be a more attractive than fixed-lines for improving access to telecommunications in developing countries: Mobile networks can be installed more rapidly than fixed-line networks; Mobile networks are increasingly available with pre-paid cards so that users are not automatically disqualified from using the service because of a lack of creditworthiness; There are a number of reasons why mobile can be a more attractive solution than fixed-lines for improving access to telecom-munications in developing countries Previous Next   Top  -  Feedback  -  Contact Us  -  Copyright © ITU 2011 All Rights Reserved Contact for this page : ICT Support Updated : 2007-08-28

  Special Rapporteur o

She urges that the UN human rights system move beyond the two categories of rights to retrieve a more unified understanding of human rights, so as to ensure access to justice and remedies for widespread and egregious violations of the right to life resulting from States’ failures to take reasonable measures to address poverty, homelessness and grossly inadequate housing. 6. (...) The question raised in the report to the General Assembly is: how have we gotten to a point where such serious and widespread violations of the right to life are not identified and addressed as such? (...) State neglect and inaction in response to widespread violations of the right to life in context of homelessness or grossly inadequate housing has not been addressed as an equally serious violation of human rights. 11.

In order to establish the widespread nature of the crimes prosecuted, the Chamber considered that the Appellant had committed acts of enlistment, which are entirely non-criminal acts insofar as they involved individuals aged 15 years and older. (...) As the Chamber itself pointed out,6 an examination of the evidence does not establish beyond reasonable doubt that the recruitment and participation of children under the age of 15 years in the UPC/FPLC between 1 September 2002 and 13 August 2003 was widespread. 10. (...) The Chamber could not reasonably find that the use of children under the age of 15 years by the FPLC (a) to participate in fighting; (b) as military guards; (c) as the bodyguards of military chiefs and other senior members of the UPC/FPLC; and (d) as Thomas Lubanga’s bodyguards had been widespread. 18.

  Situation in Nigeria

In particular, the information available provides a reasonable basis to believe that, since July 2009, Boko Haram has launched a widespread and systematic attack that has resulted in the killing of more than 1,200 Christian and Muslims civilians in different locations throughout Nigeria. (...) The consistent pattern of such incidents indicates that the group possesses the means to carry out a widespread and/or systematic attack, and displays the degree of internal coordination and organizational control required to that end. (...) As a result of the December 2010 - January 2011 violence, more than 200 Muslims and Christians alike were allegedly killed by the opposite side.38 50. Widespread inter-communal violence took place in twelve northern and central states triggered by the results of the presidential elections held in April 2011.
