Die Europäische Kommission gegen Rassismus und Intoleranz (ECRI) wurde vom Europarat ins Leben gerufen. Sie ist ein unabhängiges Gremium, das über die Einhaltung der Menschenrechte wacht, wenn es um die Bekämpfung von Rassismus, Diskriminierung (aufgrund von „Rasse", ethnischer/nationaler Herk...unft, Hautfarbe, Staatsangehörigkeit, Religion, Sprache, sexüller Orientierung und Geschlechtsidentität), Fremdenfeindlichkeit, Antisemitismus und Intoleranz geht. Die Mitglieder der Kommission sind unabhängig und unparteiisch. Sie werden aufgrund ihrer moralischen Autorität und ihres anerkannten Sachverstands in Fragen von Rassismus, Fremdenfeindlichkeit, Antisemitismus und Intoleranz ernannt. Im Rahmen ihres satzungsmässigen Auftragserstellt ECRI für jedes Land Länderberichte, in denen die Situation in Bezug auf Rassismus und Intoleranz in jedem Mitgliedstaat des Europarates analysiert und Vorschläge zur Loesung der aufgezeigten Probleme unterbreitet werden.

La Commission européenne contre le racisme et l'intolérance (ECRI) a été créée par le Conseil de l'Europe. C'est un organisme indépendant qui veille au respect des droits de l'homme dans la lutte contre le racisme, la discrimination (fondée sur la "race", l'origine ethnique ou nationale, la ...couleur, la nationalité, la religion, la langue, l'orientation sexuelle et l'identité de genre), la xénophobie, l'antisémitisme et l'intolérance. Les membres de la Commission sont indépendants et impartiaux. Ils sont nommés sur la base de leur autorité morale et de leur expertise reconnue en matière de racisme, de xénophobie, d'antisémitisme et d'intolérance. Dans le cadre de son mandat statutaire, l'ECRI produit des rapports nationaux pour chaque pays qui analysent la situation en matière de racisme et d'intolérance dans chaque Etat membre du Conseil de l'Europe et font des propositions pour résoudre les problèmes identifiés.

EVALUATION REPORT | The purpose of the evaluation is to strengthen child protection programming in the context of emergencies by assessing UNICEF’s performance and drawing lessons and recommendations that will influence ongoing and future programmes, in both preparedness and response. Apart from g...lobal and regional interviews and desk reviews, the evaluation is grounded in a solid base of evidence from four indepth case studies of recent emergency responses, in Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Pakistan and South Sudan, as well as extensive research covering eight additional countries.

The message contained in this publication is clear: countries need a
public health system that can respond to the deliberate release of
chemical and biological agents. Regrettable though this message may
be, the use of poison gas in the war between Iraq and the Islamic
Republic of Iran in the 19...80s, the recent anthrax incidents in the United
States, and the attack with sarin nerve agent, six years earlier, on the
Tokyo underground, illustrate why it is necessary to prepare.

I examine the effectiveness of donors in targeting the highest burden of malaria in the Democratic Republic of Congo when health information structure is fragmented. I exploit local variations in the burden of malaria induced by mining activities as well as financial and epidemiological data from he...alth facilities to estimate how local aid is matching local health needs. Using a regression discontinuity design, I find significant but quantitatively small variations in aid to health facilities located within mining areas. Comparing local aid with the additional cost of treatment and prevention associated with the increased risk of malaria transmission, I find suggestive evidence that local populations with the highest burden of the disease receive a proportionately lower share of aid compared to neighbouring areas with reduced exposure to malaria infection. The evidence of disparities in the allocation of aid for malaria supports the view that donors may have inaccurate information about local population needs.

This paper introduces a new dataset of official financing—including foreign aid and other forms of concessional and non-concessional state financing—from China to 138 countries between 2000 and 2014. We use these data to investigate whether and to what extent Chinese aid affects economic growth ...in recipient countries. To account for the endogeneity of aid, we employ an instrumental-variables strategy that relies on exogenous variation in the supply of Chinese aid over time resulting from changes in Chinese steel production. Variation across recipient countries results from a country’s probability of receiving aid. Controlling for year- and recipient-fixed effects that capture the levels of these variables, their interaction provides a powerful and excludable instrument. Our results show that Chinese official development assistance (ODA) boosts economic growth in recipient countries. For the average recipient country, we estimate that one additional Chinese ODA project produces a 0.7 percentage point increase in economic growth two years after the project is committed. We also benchmark the effectiveness of Chinese aid vis-á-vis the World Bank, the United States, and all members of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC).
