At the Millennium Summit in September 2000 the largest gathering of world leaders in history adopted the UN Millennium Declaration, committing their nations to a new global partnership to reduce extreme poverty and setting out a series of time-bound targets, with a deadline of 2015, that have become known as the "Millennium Development Goals."

OBS

The eight "Millennium Development Goals"("MDGs") – which range from halving extreme poverty rates to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by the target date of 2015 – form a blueprint agreed to by all the world's countries and all the world's leading development institutions. They have galvanized unprecedented efforts to meet the needs of the world's poorest. The UN is also working with governments, civil society and other partners to build on the momentum generated by the "MDGs" and carry on with an ambitious post-2015 development agenda.

Pour leur succéder, l'ONU a travaillé avec les gouvernements, la sociéte civile et les différents partenaires pour exploiter la dynamique dégagée par les «OMD» et élaborer un programme ambitieux pour l'après-2015 : Transformer notre monde : le Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030.

The International Military Sports Council, known by its acronym "CISM", is an international sports association composed of the armed forces of member nations accepted by the General Assembly. CISM is open to the armed forces of all nations. The aims of CISM are to develop friendly relations between the Armed Forces of member nations, promote physical education and sports activities, provide mutual technical assistance, support less privileged members in the name of friendship and solidarity, contribute towards the balanced and harmonious development of military personnel, and contribute to the international effort for universal peace. On May 1946, the Allied Forces Sports Council was set up, namely by Colonel Debrus and Major Mollet who were among the founding fathers of CISM two years later. Unfortunately, because of political discord, the Allied Forces Sports Council was extinguished in 1947. However, the ideal was rekindled the following year with the founding of CISM and the rise of a global vision.

Notre objectif fondamental est de contribuer à la paix mondiale en unissant les Forces armées par le sport. La devise qui guide notre action est « Amitié par le sport ».

A related consideration is the sunk-cost investment that the home country has made in educating the immigrant, providing tax-funded health care and so forth. Once incurred, of course, sunk costs are supposed to be ignored, but if home country policymakers anticipate a steady outflow of highly educated and skilled citizens in the future, it makes sense to reconsider the existing universal subsidy schemes embedded in education and Medicare policies.

Un aspect connexe est l'investissement irrécupérable que le pays d'origine a engagé pour l'éducation de l'émigrant, les soins de santé financés par les deniers publics et ainsi de suite. Bien sûr une fois engagés, les coûts irrécupérables sont censés être ignorés mais, si les responsables des politiques du pays d'origine prévoient pour l'avenir un flux soutenu de départs de citoyens hautement scolarisés et qualifiés, il devient logique de reconsidérer les programmes universels existants de subvention qui font partie intégrante des politiques d'éducation et d'assurance-maladie.

Engineered standards are should-take times. Coupled with an accurate labor distribution and reporting system, engineered standards will tell what is actually happening much more clearly; your scheduling will be much more accurate and consistent; and your plans will be much more credible. The best system available today integrates accuracy and speed of application. It is called Universal Maintenance Standards and has over forty years of application experience in all types and sizes of maintenance departments and industries as well as government, healthcare, education and commercial applications. Rather than individual, precise times, the system is based on ranges of time and work content comparison.
