This imposes additional and enormous financial, material and social burdens on the already distressed economies of receiving States.

Such additional resources would be difficult to generate in the already financially strapped developing countries.

The central dilemma of nuclear power in an increasingly water stressed world is that it is a water guzzler, yet vulnerable to water.

The Israeli army has also cut off water and electricity and prevented the Red Cross from entering the village to provide assistance to the inhabitants who are living in extremely difficult conditions and many of whom require treatment and medicines.

In France, the idea that now dares to speak its name is that the country will sink into an ever deeper economic malaise unless it regains its monetary sovereignty.

If these words had been spoken by some easy, self indulgent exhorter, from whose mouth they might have come merely as pious and rhetorical flourish, proper to be used to people in distress, perhaps they might not have had much effect but coming from one who daily and calmly risked fine and imprisonment for the cause of God and man, they had a weight that could not but be felt, and both the poor, desolate fugitives found calmness and strength breathing into them from it.

The Emergency Fund was initially established by the Board in 1973 from voluntary contributions of member organizations, staff associations and individual contributors to alleviate the distress of recipients of small pensions, caused by currency fluctuations and cost of living increases.

The non remittance of contributions by member States has now reached a serious crisis whereby the Institute is significantly constrained in its efforts to execute its mandated activities and thereby deliver the needed services to member States.

This was because they had less leverage to be unwound and less footloose capital that could leave in the event of a global financial squeeze.
