Cette idée est née à la suite de la lecture du livre de Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen. Ils écrivent un court texte pour servir de base à cette réflexion, intitulé «La décroissance soutenable».

Subject field(s)
  • Federal Government Bodies and Committees (Canadian)
OBS

After many organizational changes within the CGSB and a general call to reduce the costs of government, the Review Board became the much smaller Minister's Advisory Council(MAC) on the CGSB. This Council drew its members from sources similar to those of the Review Board. Meeting regularly in various locations across Canada, it took responsibility for ensuring that second-level review and other actions required by the CGSB's accreditations were properly performed.

Après de nombreux remaniements organisationnels au sein de l'ONGC et la directive de réduire les coûts du gouvernement, le Comité de révision est réduit à un Conseil consultatif du Ministre (CCM) sur l'ONGC, de taille beaucoup plus petite. Les membres de ce Conseil proviennent essentiellement des mêmes sources que ceux du comité de révision et se réunissent régulièrement à différents endroits au Canada afin de s'assurer que l'examen des procédures et d'autres activités exigées par l'accréditation de l'ONGC sont exécutés de façon adéquate.

"It is... declared to be the friendly right of each member of the League to bring to the attention of the Assembly or of the Council any circumstance whatever affecting international relations which threatens to disturb international peace or the good understanding between nations upon which peace depends". This appeal by a third state, a member of the league, will serve the same purpose of laying the facts before the world, and when the Secretary-General transmits the appeal to the Assembly or to the Council the public is... given notice of the nature of the controversy. Whenever there exists a threat of war, the Secretary-General is required upon the request of any member of the League forthwith to summon a meeting of the Council. Such a call would focus the opinion of the whole world and might help to prevent war.
