During the sixth session of the Executive Board in Geneva from June 1 to June 9, 1950, it was reported that some difficulties had been encountered in the establishment of a regional office for Europe. Six member states had not replied to the request sent them on the subject, seven had expressed reservations, six had sent in negative replies, and only eight had indicated their approval. It was also proposed that rules of procedure of the Assembly be changed to permit the participation in discussions of representatives of the Executive Board in either plenary or committee meetings. During the biennial revision of the list of non-governmental organizations with which WHO maintained official relations, a total of eighteen were retained. The Executive Board also agreed that, while WHO was not an organization for sending supplies to governments, it was nonetheless true that supplies were occasionally indispensable to enable a government to carry out a specific program. A total of $100,000 had been thus distributed to Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Finland, India, Hashemite Kingdom of the Jordan, Monaco, Portugal, Thailand and Yugoslavia for the control of malaria and leprosy, the improvement of nursing care and similar activities.

In this interview with UCL’s Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou, Lefteris Papagiannakis explains his role as Athens’ vice mayor for migrants and refugees. He discusses the city’s responses to the arrival of thousands of refugees and migrants in the last few years. He reflects on the complex relationship of the municipality of Athens with non-government support networks, such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international organizations, as well as autonomous local activists, in providing support services to migrants. Papagiannakis also addresses how Athens negotiates its support for these groups in the current European anti-immigrant climate, and the relationship between the Greek economic crisis and the so-called “refugee crisis.”

Survey Results

Ceramic pot filters (CPFs) are an effective means of household water treatment, but the characterization of CPF lifetimes is ongoing. This paper describes a lifetime field study in Guatemala which was made possible by a collaboration between researchers, CPF-using households, and local non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Disinfection data were collected periodically for two years using field coliform enumeration kits as were flow rate data with the assistance of NGO staff. Consumer acceptance was characterized by surveying householders in the four subject villages at the beginning and end of the study. Flow rate data showed that average CPF flow rates decreased below the recommended minimum of 1 L h−1 after 10 months of use; however, the survey results indicated that the consumers were tolerant of the lower flow rates, and it is reasonable to assume that the daily volume of treated water can be readily increased by refilling the CPFs more frequently. Of greater concern was the finding that disinfection efficacy decreased below the recommended bacterial reduction after 14 months of use because it would not be obvious to users that effectiveness had declined. Finally, the follow-up visits by the researchers and the NGO staff appeared to increase consumer acceptance of the CPFs.

Trial Object

After  Decision of the Constitutional Court Number 98 / PUU-X / 2012, NGO include third parties with an interest in submitting pre-trial proceedings by terminating investigations or terminating proceedings, but related to Post- Decision of Constitutional Court Number 21 / PUU-XII / 2014, it can be seen that there is an extension of pre-trial proceedings, one of which is the suspect's determination. It actually raises concerns about pre-trial object posed by NGO, whether or not it requires the determination of a suspect, it given that it is not written if it looks at grammatically. Based on background above, this research analyzes about first, can non-governmental organizations submit pre-trial applications for the purpose of determining a suspect? Secondly, what is the concern of juries’ respect to the position of Non-Governmental Organization that submitted a pre-trial application for the purpose of determining the suspect? This research is a normative legal research with an approach to laws, a philosophical approach and a case approach. Based on this research, it has been identified that First, NGO should first submit pre-trial applications for the purpose of assessing a suspect. Whereas, since Article 77(a), which is incidentally the subject-matter of pre-trial proceedings for NGO, has been extended, it should be interpreted that NGO also send pre-trial applications for the purpose of determining the suspect. Secondly, in some justices' reflections based on Constitutional Court's Decision Number: 98 / PUU-X / 2012 on May 21, 2013 jo. The justice considered, in Constitutional Court Decision Number 21/PUU-XII/2014, that the complainant as an NGO has a legal role in bringing a preliminary ruling against the object of suspect’s determination.
