Some governments have gone after foreign political leaders who committed human rights crimes, with considerable domestic popular support.

By working locally, civil society organizations are able to ensure that those who need support have access to it.

Argentina, for example, increased subsidies for energy and transport to the equivalent of 3 of GDP.

To that end, there should be a rapid move to eliminate export and trade distorting domestic subsidies, particularly in the area of agriculture.

Community based organizations operate at the grass roots level to overcome the challenges of occupation and to provide support for each other.

OIOS structured its analysis of MICA along two major activities (a) military support to humanitarian organizations and agencies (HOAs) and (b) CSPs executed by the military.

The Agreement on Agriculture's domestic support system currently allows Europe and the United States to spend 380 billion a year on agricultural subsidies.

This continuum of support involves many elements of civil society, including the public and private sectors, NGOs, educational institutions and extension services.

Negotiations on agriculture should result in substantive reduction of trade distorting domestic support and establish an end date for the elimination of export subsidies.

A third strategy of Development through Local Integration (DLI) is based on providing financial support which recognizes the needs of the entire community while refugees become self reliant and or integrate locally.

At the contingent level, designated officers for civil military coordination, if appointed, coordinate with civilian entities and the sector headquarters and facilitate the execution of CSPs.

Another useful development would be the creation of enclaves inside Syria where people could gather with some expectation of security. Such enclaves would require local support from Kurdish forces or select Arab tribes, with military backing by the US and others.

The scale of the needed support is comparable to the Marshall Plan, which committed 1 of the United States GDP per year to help European reconstruction after World War II.

The broad outlines of this transformation are well known a shift from export and investment led growth to an economic structure that draws greater support from domestic private consumption.

In that connection, OIOS would like to emphasize that those instructions should allow for a realistic degree of flexibility for national contingents concerning CSPs.

For example, a tax subsidy for car purchases caused GDP to rise in the third quarter of 2009, with more than two thirds of the increase attributable to motor vehicle production.
