Vienna protocol

U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton answers a question from a reporter about how he refers to Palestine during a news conference in the White House briefing room in Washington, U.S., October 3, 2018. REUTERS/Leah Millis The U.S. national security adviser John Bolton slammed the highest United Nations tribunal as “politicized and ineffective” as he announced that the United States would review all international agreements that could expose it to binding decisions by the ICJ. Earlier on Wednesday the ICJ handed a victory to Tehran, ordering the United States to ensure that sanctions against Iran, due to be tightened next month, do not affect humanitarian aid or civil aviation safety. Tehran had argued that the U.S. sanctions imposed since May by the Trump administration violated the terms their 1955 Treaty of Amity. Washington responded by pulling out of the treaty, a little-known agreement that was signed long before Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution that turned the two countries into arch enemies. The ICJ, based in The Hague, in the Netherlands, is the United Nations’ venue for resolving disputes between nations. There have been mounting concerns among U.S. allies about the Trump administration’s commitment to multilateralism. In the nearly two years since being elected, President Donald Trump has withdrawn the United States from a nuclear agreement between six powers and Iran, pulled out of a global climate accord, left the U.N. cultural agency, and threatened NATO mi...

Abstract 1560 Objectives: In 1996 we described the Vienna protocol based upon a dose of 1,1GBq (30mCi) Sm-153-EDTMP administered 5 times in 3 months intervals on an outpatient base followed by 5 further applications in 6- and then in 9 months intervals. Methods: 200 patients suffering from hormone refractory prostate cancer (49-93a) with >1 bone lesion and/or bone pain receiving the 1st year therapy are presented. Bone uptake intraindividually was rather constant (<+/-5%)with a high interindividual variation from 36% to 85% (mean=58,6%). Results: Pain palliation was achieved completely in 53%, partially in 41% and failed in 6%. Duration of analgetic effect shortest was 8 weeks. PSA decreased in 21%, was stable in 48% and increased in 12%. A temporary increase (4-8 weeks) was observed in 19% followed by a longer lasting decrease. Flare phenomenon was rare (4%). Nadir of platelets (28,7d) was followed by white (30,7d) and red blood cells (37,7d). Lesion regression assessed by scintigraphy and MR was first seen after 2nd therapy (2%), increasing after 5th application to 41%. No predictive parameter as to the response was discovered. Decrease in PSA and adhesion molecules (ICAM, VCAM, E-selectin, nadir at 9-12 weeks) was significantly more pronounced in patients on statin treatment and positively correlated to red blood cells (r=0,73) and haemoglobin (r=0,75). Repeated therapy induced a further decrease. Quality of life, analgetics consumption, pain and Karnovsky score and WHO...

In addition to the For many years, the Department of State has published annually Treaties in Force, a listing of treaties and other international agreements in force for the United States. Treaties in Force has provided helpful information about such treaties, including the date of U.S. ratification and a listing of other Parties to each treaty or other international agreement. This webpage is a work-in-progress, and we hope to update it with additional documents.

Serious disability is equivalent to visual acuity of less than 20/200 Historical significance [ ] ICRC welcomed the ban on blinding lasers as "a significant breakthrough in international humanitarian law," adding: The prohibition, in advance, of the use of an abhorrent new weapon the production and proliferation of which appeared imminent is an historic step for humanity. It represents the first time since 1868, when the use of exploding bullets This was also the first international agreement regulating use of lasers during war.
