	Committee of Public Safety - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Committee of Public Safety (French: Comité de salut public), set up by the National Convention on April 6, 1793, formed the de facto executive government of France during the Reign of Terror (1793 - 1794) of the French Revolution.
		Under war conditions and with national survival seemingly at stake, the Jacobins under Robespierre centralized denunciations, trials, and executions under the supervision of this committee of twelve members.
		The committee was responsible for thousands of executions, most by the guillotine, in what was known as the "Reign of Terror." Frenchmen were executed for little or no reason, although most were accused of anti-revolutionary activity.

	National Insurance Contributions and...: 6 Jan 2004: House of Commons debates (TheyWorkForYou.com)
		I believe he was a member of the Standing Committee that considered what became the Finance Act 2003, which engaged in extensive discussion of the new schedules on share ownership and the complexities of the requirements involved.
		Despite the Paymaster General's protestations, the truth is that, as she said in her opening remarks, when an employer makes a security-based payment of earnings, there is no national insurance liability until these payments are realised—for example, when options are exercised to acquire shares.
		The Paymaster General dealt with that briefly in response to an intervention, and it was also referred to in the discussion document issued in 2000.

		The Committee notes the way in which public debate is allowed in Israel on such sensitive matters as ill-treatment of detainees, both in Israel and the occupied territories.
		The Committee is pleased to acknowledge the way in which the Israeli Medical Association reacted to prevent its members from participating in ill-treatment of detainees by filling in the "medical fitness forms".
		The Committee is pleased to note that the General Security Service and police are no longer responsible for reviewing complaints of ill-treatment of detainees by their own members, and that such function is now the responsibility of a special unit of the Ministry of Justice.

	CEIRPP recommendations - Letter from CEIRPP Chairman (13 March 1979)
		The Committee is profoundly convinced that concrete action by the Security Council on the basis of the implementation of the Committee's recommendations would without any doubt lead to the achievement of tangible progress towards a solution to the question of Palestine.
		The members of the Committee accordingly believe that the impasse currently prevailing in the region, characterized by the absence of any initiative that might lead to peace, and the prolongation of the illegal occupation of Arab territories are in no way conducive to the avoidance of new confrontations.
		The Committee is convinced that the members of the Security Council will wish to re-examine those recommendations in accordance with the wish expressed by the General Assembly at its thirty-third session.

	Reflections on the Audit Committee's Role (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Following recent U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reforms, the Sept. 11 tragedy, and the collapse of Enron Corp., those who are being asked to serve on the audit committee of a publicly held company are realizing how important they are to the company's welfare.
		Increasingly, audit committees are meeting the day before the full board meeting to allow enough time for frank, in-depth discussions and full interaction between the committee and management, the external auditors, and the internal auditors.
		These same capabilities are necessary for the audit committee to effectively discharge other duties, including evaluating the independence of the external auditors and performance of both the external and internal auditors, monitoring risk processes and controls, and overseeing the governance processes involving ethics systems.

	Israel: HRW Memorandum to UN Committee Against Torture (May 1998)
		Despite the Committee's repeated recommendations of concrete steps Israel should take to bring its law and practice into compliance, Israel has consistently disregarded these recommendations and continues to use torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment during interrogations of Palestinian detainees.
		The magnitude of Israel's violations of the Convention Against Torture is well known to the Committee, having been extensively documented by U.N. bodies and international, Israeli and Palestinian human rights organizations.
		It is Human Rights Watch's view that Israel's second periodic report to the Committee (CAT/C/33/Add.3) fails to satisfactorily address the serious issues raised by the Committee in its previous sessions.

		Israel had presented a special report (CAT/C/33/Add.2/Rev.1) at the Committee's request, and the Committee's conclusions and recommendations included the recommendation that the second periodic report of Israel be presented for consideration at the November 1997 session of the Committee.
		The Committee would be remiss if it did not acknowledge that the Israeli delegation had initiated upon this occasion a genuine dialogue that revealed Israel's unhappiness with the current situation (without acknowledging any breach of the Convention) and its desire to cooperate with the Committee.
		The Committee, in its turn, respects Israel's right to present its position, even if the Committee disagrees with its reasons and conclusions, and expresses the genuine desire to continue the dialogue and to resolve the differences between Israel and itself.

		Although the physical layout of the stretch of road causes safety issues, some of the danger may be attributed to pedestrian negligence and the distraction caused by cell phones.
		While safety on Grounds is a concern for all members of the University community, it is the job of the Security and General Safety Committee to address security problems both those the committee itself recognizes and those presented by the community.
		Currently, the committee is working on a project to improve the lighting along McCormick Avenue, starting with the segment on the west side of the road from the Chapel to Newcomb, and eventually going all the way to Alderman Rd. The committee also oversees the blue emergency phones located around Grounds.

		Robespierre had been a member of the Committee of Public Safety for exactly a year on July 27, 1794 and his presence was becoming a source of extreme menace to most of his colleagues in the Convention and on both of the powerful Committees.
		Taken first to the Committee, where his jaw was bandaged by a doctor on the Green Room table, and then merely identified before the Tribunal to be sentenced to death, Robespierre was placed in the tumbrel the afternoon of 10 Thermidor.

		Qawashmeh is a blatant violation of the absolute prohibition of torture and ill treatment anchored both in Israeli and international law, and in the 1999 High Court of Justice ruling.
		Moreover, the use of torture sanctioned by a permit given by senior security forces personnel points to moral deterioration and the crossing of a line that human societies are committed to in times of peace and in during emergencies.
		A day after the submission of the petition, the State Attorney's Office informed Attorney Rosenthal that according to the GSS, "in light of the circumstances known today, there is no intention to use physical measures in the further of the interrogation of the petitioner".
