California Wine Industry Veterans Commemorate 70th Anniversary Year of Repeal of Prohibition When National Prohibition was finally repealed in 1933, it was not about drink, but the political necessity of returning the rights back to the states, including for the first time, control over interstate commerce, explained Charles Sullivan.

Judgment 2032 - ILO Administrative Tribunal The complainant, a German national born in 1927, was employed by the Preparatory Commission for the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons as a legal expert under a series of intermittent short-term contracts between January 1994 and May 1997. The temporary presence of the complainant in the Netherlands during periods of employment with the Preparatory Commission and the OPCW was not sufficient to affect his status as a resident of Germany for German national tax purposes. The Organisation's insistence that the complainant must exhaust all national remedies has placed the burden to protect his immunity from taxation on him, which breaches the Organisation's obligations. www.ilo.org /public/english/tribunal/fulltext/2032.htm   (3835 words)
