A legal basis for the 1967 border to be altered by bilateral consent
In the constitution of teh Russian Federation is a clause (Article 67.3)3. Borders between constituent entities of the Russian Federation may be changed upon their mutual consent.

So if as Israeli lawyers have argued in the past Israel and Palestine are both the same jurisdiction (though the Palestinians and subsequent peace dialogues have disaggreed with this).The new attempt for UN statehood takes a devolved territory set up under international auspices and referendums (the Dayton, Camp David accords and handshake at teh White house in the 1990s and the two state solution Under President George W Bush and negotiations, particulary in his second term) and turns it into an independent state.

As a seceding state under international law, could Palestine seek its border redrawn with the 'remaining Israeli state' and the territory of Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Ramallah becoming a jointly administered or UN territory.

In my idealistic heart of hearts yes I'd like the Holy Land Christian again but having been there and read all that I have, visited once and seen how people of twi states and three faiths want to live in peace without Al Queada or threats from Iranian missiles and attempts to drive them into the sea I think that the most that Christendom can get is protection as a minority similar to soem under Uk statute law and Russian federal constitutional law. As Hamas and Fatah are both in coalition perhaps now is the best chance for peace

Borsi and the EDL

After doing some work today in the library and getting the bus to near Grovesenor Square to visit the memorial after the ceremony I walked past an English Defence league group being prevented from making their respects as they were seperated by a blockade from a counter demonstration by Muslims against Crusades. Ok call me naive but couldn't they have picked a better day and couldn't the Mayor of London have chosen a better place to park than by a road by the EDL demonstrators.

Given that teh Muslim world is becomiong democratic and these constitutions need to be shaped to respect the Christian minorities living in these countries (called the Arab Spring) couldn't 9/11 be the time for these groups to make up?

For teh record teh ENglish Democrats are a seperate political party and in their constitution and policies condemn the far left and far right. To prevent the EDP being classed as far right as a former candidate of theirs I should declare that my walking past was accidental and that any violence that may have occurred is seperate from the EDP who may have a seperate matter presently sub judice following visiting a 7/7 memorial event.
CV Template . Other examples in the London area can be obtained from Job centre or European Social Funded projects such as Seetec and initiatives by the new government and the reform of welfare into a universal credit and other related state benefits (such as Housing and Council Tax benefit assessed on the basis of receipt of Income Support or the new universal credit).

This is being done to aid those on long term sickness benefits seek part time employment on the possible way to full time work on the basis of their ability and not seasonal media pressure. These courses are usually available if you are on Employment and Support allowance and optional if you are on Incapacity benefit.

That written sometimes however courses are also run In Greater London at your local boroughs Adult education centres to aid those coming out of full time secondary and FE education, demob from HM Combined Cadet forces, Police Cadets or HM Adult services and those starting new businesses or changing career on the basis of Job centre advice if civilian or charity advice such as help for heroes and the British legion if leaving the armed services or while being in the reserves.

If I can add one thing personally based on life experience and some educated guesswork and the fact that Hillingdon has a NATO base nearby and now UK immigration rules against Commonwealth nationals, while foreign diplomats are governed by diplomatic law and serve at Her Majestys pleasure on government advice and appointment procedures to the Court of St James regulated by the FCO as devolved from Parliament, their military are also similarly governed by post 1945 procedures and conduct. Do not have a go at them for their countries or the UNs decided policies or their relatives and friends and churches / faiths as UK equivilants in other countries operate on similar regulations unless it breaches UK law .

To do so could mean that the world would lose its head at a time when frankly those who can do things and want to live peacefully and democratically the world over are really needed.

Instead as civilians take it through the civilian police force of the relevant part of the UK unless an imminent threat to life. In the UK these can be reported online to the Met Police, The cross community and Christian denomination PSNI in Northern Ireland or MI5 (the UK Security Service) on their report form websites.

I write this as the children of Cold War diplomats are now UK citizens and subjects if still here and settled lawfully living peaceful lives. In an age of allegedly credible threats, lets remember that the majority of public figures relatives live peaceful and lawful lives starting families and being members of the community should they wish to get active in supporting others who lawfully settle here.

With the Royal wedding recently some may serve their ‘homelands’ in the future in their civil service according to that states procedures and ways of recruitment as the next generation takes over, becoming dual nationals and some may not. They have a right to family life as much as UK citizens under the UNC Human rights and the European one and the present Human rights act derived from them. As such they too have legal protection under the laws of the state as well provided they too don’t break the law.

Areas that cause concern are people trafficking, arms smuggling and illegal drugs cartels as these destabilise interpersonal and hence interstate relations which in the past have risked arms races and proliferation. On 9/11 lets remember that and find a better way.

Regime change in Iran?
The middle east peace envoy has said on Sky news that it is probably better if Iran had regime change.
Noting the fact that it has according to preceding OECD reports had democratic elections for seperate state and faith legislatures (however fundamentalist). What grounds are there to remove the regime?
1) The detention of minorities at Camp Ashraf and Iraqi prisoners.
2) Electoral irregularities
3) Withdrawal from and failure to co-operate from Nuclear arms resulation by the IAEA.

Their defence to 3) Is that the civilian nuclear power plants have been or are being regulated bilaterally are now coming online. One of them is providing electricity and so long as it remains in a geologically stable area could so continue and aid the economies in the rest of the region. Surely that is better than a risk to a nuclear air strike the resultant damage could affect the water supply of an entire region and Russia, India and China risking radicalised populations where the Muslim faqith is in the majority.
That is why the Iranian situation, however awful some of their governments rhetoric is an international matter at the UN.

So if anyone is planning anything go for their seperate missile sites to remove their first strike capability but please don't do it Israel as they could hit your civilian reactor and poison the Medditteranean.

Syria and Lybia
The French and Russian Foreign ministers met yesterday to discuss Syria. The French said that recent events were tantamount to crimes against humanity and that the Assad Regime should desist. Said shootings had prevented the head of the Arab league from visiting.
The Russians have called for a different solution to Lybia and that some of the sanctions may be counterproductive (possibly meaning that it could radicalise the population and potentially jeopardise Palestinian statehood)

Re Lybia the convoy south contains those who fought for what was then the lawfully recognised government. Whether they are allowed to dispose of the Gold from said regime (which could include some of the Gold the Uk sold off in 1999) as if mercenaries its their payment from Gadaffi is a matter for international lawyers and whichever state they surrender it to such as Niger or Burkina Faso. Avoid all emails pruporting to advertise ex Bank of England Gold, you could get ripped off.


The American perspective on Syria.
Further to whats written above the US have called for change to occur in Syria. Hence its a very difficult situation to assess from solely open source information on 24 hour news channels. Its therefore given the amount of discussion a matter for teh UN.

One other variable to note is that the Iranians have hooked up their first nuclear power plant to their national grid for civilian nuclear power. Given recent events in Japan if its regulated and is in a geological stable area, could this be something that could help Afghanistan and neighbouring states rebuild peacefully?

Turkeys expulsion of an Israeli diplomat


Turkey has expelled a diplomat because its state has refused to apologise for its handling of a protest flotilla to that territory. This isn't Cyprus and the EU, the state concerned is Israel. In these circumstances this will not necessarilly lead to another intifada as such expulsions are temporary and show one governments displeasure of anothers actions on a particular matter. Israel either has had or is having an inquiry on it for its democratically elected legislature and both governments act according to these recommendations and international law.
