The United States Institute of Peace and the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) held a Workshop on Future Issues for Macedonia at the Hotel Bistra in Mavrovo, Macedonia, on October 20-22.

International Relations Center Special Report Washington Tightens Economic Noose and Increases Support to Groups Planning Post-Castro Transition The Solidarity Center is one of NED's core grantees, along with the International Republican Institute, Center for International Private Enterprise, and the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs. However, the labor federation's new American Center for International Labor Solidarity (known commonly as the Solidarity Center), which was created after FTUI and AIFLD were dissolved, has continued the previous practice of relying almost exclusively on U.S. government funding for its foreign labor operations, including those with a Cuba focus. The credibility of Washington's appeals to international rights when condemning Cuba are undermined by its own flagrant violation of international law through its attempt to strangle the Cuban economy through the embargo and the new restrictions on travel, investment, and remittances. www.irc-online.org /content/718   (1495 words)

Bush to Aid 'Moderate' Parties in Iraq Election - Global Policy Forum - UN Security Council Political-party building efforts in Iraq will be overseen by John Negroponte, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, but much of the work would be done through two nongovernmental organizations, the International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs. U.N. officials now authorize no more than 35 international staff in the country, and few of them are now working on the elections.

NDI - National Democratic Institute for International Affairs At the request of several Ecuadorian civil society organizations, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) assisted Ecuadorian civic leaders to develop a national organization to engage citizens in the electoral process and promote political dialogue through a national network of nonpartisan volunteers. This initiative laid the groundwork for the consolidation of a national volunteer network that is now poised to address critical issues facing Ecuadorian democracy in the long-term such as promoting dialogue between fractionalized political sectors in the coastal and highland regions, and fostering broad-based citizen participation and governmental accountability. The geographic divide between the coast and the highlands also contributed to a lack of national unity, scant dialogue and consensus on issues of national concern. www.ndi.org /worldwide/lac/ecuador/ecuador_pf.asp   (655 words)

In this, the DLC is a protection racket for the impeachable Dick Cheney, as LaRouche has charged; it is doing his dirty work in pressuring the Democratic Party to shut up about Cheney's role in foisting phony intelligence about Iraq in order to get the Iraq War. www.larouchepub.com /other/2003/3028neocon_dems.html   (2685 words)
