 International Law Commission - Membership
In 1955, the General Assembly invited the Commission to give its opinion concerning a proposal to provide that a vacancy should be filled by the Assembly rather than the Commission in the light of the extension of the term of office of members from three to five years.
A large majority of the General Assembly believed that the provision of article 8 of the Statute, requiring “in the Commission as a whole representation of the main forms of civilization and of the principal legal systems”, could be better assured by increasing the size of the Commission.
The question arose as to whether the election of a staff member to the Commission would be incompatible with the staff rules and regulations that govern the activities and conduct of an international civil servant.

The striking, and arguably decisive, role of Generation Jones in the 2004 U.S. Presidential Election underlines the importance of generations in politics.
While results varied, these pollsters generally found that Jonesers, compared with the other generations, were by far the most supportive of Bush, and that Joneser women were the primary “swing voters” among all generations of women.
On election day, the overall results showed a virtual tie between the two parties, but again, it was Generation Jones that was largely responsible for the outcome; the two younger generations voted for Labour, the two older ones for National, with GenJones at a virtual tie between parties.

In his first news conference as Honolulu's mayor-elect, Hannemann also talked about the issues that he and Mayor Jeremy Harris will likely discuss in the transition process and how he will bring supporters of challenger Duke Bainum into the fold of his administration.
He is hoping to get an office at City Hall to begin the transition process, but if not, he will handle the transition out of his campaign headquarters at Dole Cannery in Iwilei.
Harris said one of the biggest hurdles for Hannemann will be to find qualified appointees willing to give up high-paying jobs in the private sector and undergo the scrutiny of public service with the city.

The phrase “born again” is taking on a whole new meaning in a scandal now brewing at a little-known but important United Nations agency based in Switzerland, where an auditor has discovered that the director general, Kamil Idris, has for almost 24 years been using two different birthdates, nine years apart.
Idris is only the second man to serve as WIPO’s director general since it became a U.N. agency, and he has earned a reputation for ruling in a vice-regal style.
Idris is not denying, however, the manipulation of his birthdate on official WIPO documents, though he continues to insist he was not in any serious way at fault.
