INSEC is an independent, non-profit-making and non-partisan human rights organisation. It is based in Kathmandu and has branches in all regional centres of Nepal. Institute for Global Comunications IGC en IGC, a nonprofit institute, shares the vision to actively promote change toward a healthy society, one which is founded on principals of social justice, broadly shared economic opportunity, a robust democratic process, and sustainable environmental practices.

We believe healthy societies rely fundamentally on respect for individual rights, the vitality of communities, and a celebration of diversity. In particular, it sets out to fill the gaps which have appeared in this area of research in recent decades and to make contributions with respect to fundamental and current issues.

Of special significance are the questions surrounding a future European peace order and the realisation of regional and world-wide processes of disarmament and arms control, as well as all of the humanitarian issues arising from armed conflicts and situations threatening peace. The Institute's twofold and comprehensive objective of dealing with issues surrounding both peace and armed conflict — issues which were traditionally seen as two completely separate levels of research and political activity — takes into account the growing interconnection of these areas of international relations which has appeared in recent years in academic discussions and in the practice of international law.

It came into being on 1 July Following The Hague Platform on European Security Interests of 27 October , the creation of the Institute as an instrument at the service of member countries was intended to assist them in their determination both to strengthen the European pillar of NATO and to provide an integrated Europe with a security and defence dimension. At the European summit in Cologne on 4 June , the Fifteen finally decided to give the Union a credible military crisis-management capability, and adopted the principle of "the inclusion of those functions of the WEU which will be necessary for the EU to fulfil its new responsibilities".

The Institute for Security Studies began work at a time of substantial change in the strategic environment: Today, the prevention and management of crises are the challenges that Europe, as a strategic actor, must help to meet in a more coherent and credible way. The progressive integration of WEU in the European Union constitutes an essential step in the assertion of this new responsibility of the European Union. Institute for Peace Spark M.

Recitative Don Alfonso I'm not a bad actor! What grimaces, what affectations! All the better for me, They'll fall more easily; People of that kind are the first To change their minds. Poor fools, To wager a hundred sequins on a woman! Camera gentile con diverse sedie, un tavolino, ecc.

Guglielmo a Dorabella Ah, barbare, restate! Don Alfonso sottovoce a Guglielmo Aspettate. Dorabella con fuoco E che pretendereste?
