Panel 1 - Interpretive Challenges
Although the framework for the international protection of refugees is governed principally by the 1951 Convention, implementation of protection is highly contingent on the functioning of national mechanisms. These national systems for identifying and extending protection to refugees function within the larger legal and political infrastructure of individual states. As a consequence, the process of interpreting the refugee definition contained in the 1951 Convention within national refugee systems has resulted in denying certain populations the protection they are entitled to under the Convention. This discussion session seeks to identify tools for promoting the realization of protection for all refugees within the scope of the Convention. It will consider how national legislation and regulations, along with UNHCR guidance and other forms of advocacy have been instrumental in guaranteeing access to the refugee protection framework for categories of persons seeking protection who have historically been marginalized through adverse national-level interpretations of the refugee definition.

The Grace Period has begun.
With the ringing in of 2015, the HVAC industry has fully implemented the new Regional Standards involving the New Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings. All regions will move from 13 SEER and 7.7 HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) to a new national heat pump efficiency minimum of 14 SEER and 8.2 HSPF. The new regulations also allow an 18-month grace period, so until June of 2016, distributors will be allowed to sell and install their remaining inventory.
Additionally, changes have also taken place with the FTC EnergyGuide label, commonly known as the yellow “hang-tag” attached to the heating and cooling system. The label used to contain the SEER and HSPF ratings for the unit in relation to similar models; it will be a new label for split-system air conditioners and heat pumps. Instead of a single rating point, they will now show a range representing the lowest and highest SEER ratings for all the condenser’s certified coil combinations.
What do the new regional standards mean for you as a homeowner?
In 2005, the minimum regional standards changed from 10 SEER to 13 SEER and the industry saw a large build ahead. Being this change is not nearly as dramatic as it’s predecessor, it shouldn’t effect nearly as many homeowners. But the question will be, should I take advantage of this grace period and get the cheapest unit possible while it’s still available, or is it better to accept the new regulations and install a 14 SEER system?
Pros to Installing a 13 SEER system while supplies last:
Until Inventory runs out with local distributors, this will be the cheapest initial cost for a new system.
Cons to Installing a 13 SEER system while supplies last:
After a few years, replacement parts may become harder to find and more expensive to replace.
This system is the least efficient system on the market.
Rebates and Tax incentives are not available for these models.
If you replace part of your system (let’s say outdoor unit) with a 13 SEER and in future years the system needs to be updated (let’s say indoor unit), you will have to spend much more on the indoor unit to have it meet the 14 SEER requirement on the EnergyGuide Sticker update.
If you have questions about SEER Ratings, the new regulations or if you would like to set up a free estimate to figure out what unit may be best for your home and situation, please contact us. But hurry, if you would like to install a 13 SEER unit, we have limited supplies.

“While we commend this development, as well as the Iraqi federal Government and the Kurdistan Regional Government for their concerted efforts and strong coordination towards the implementation of the National Action Plan on women, peace and security, Iraq’s ability to implement its 1325 National Action Plan will be dependent on allocation of a budget and implementation of related national frameworks including the Joint Communique to address Conflict Related Sexual Violence”.
The UN is still advocating for a national machinery or entity on women’s affairs with adequate budget, human resources to coordinate the implementation of all national frameworks advancing women’s rights. “As we have highlighted before, on our part, we will continue our advocacy for immediate progress, but also for long-term reforms to structural barriers that inhibit the full and meaningful representation and participation of women in political decision-making. A lot of work remains to be done on the participation and protection pillar. Adoption of the Anti-Domestic Law as well as laws or policies that to enhance the representation of women in the Cabinet, Judiciary and other spheres of governance,” said Ms. Dihemo.

In 2012-2014 the Iraqi Cross Sector Task Force (CSTF) developed the Iraqi National Action Plan (NAP) for implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325. The NAP 1325 is a crucial tool for improving the status of women’s rights in Iraq. Composed of ministries, institutions and civil society, the CSTF has been the driving mechanism for implementing, monitoring, and reporting of this NAP.
At today’s conference, the Government of Iraq and CSTF took the opportunity to mark the International Women’s Day, 8th of March, by sharing the preliminary outcomes, lessons learned and conclusions summarized during the on-going process of developing of the draft national report on the implementation of the first NAP 1325, which will be presented to the United Nations Security Council later during 2018.
At the opening session of the conference, participants were greeted by the Prime Minister of Iraq, Dr. Hayder Al Abadi, Secretary General of the Council of Ministers and Co-Chair of the CSTF 1325, Dr. Mahdi Al Alaq, Chairperson of the National Committee for the Advancement of Iraqi Women and Chair of the Coordination Committee of CSTF 1325, Dr. Thikra Alloush, Chair of the High Council of Women of the Kurdistan Region and Co-Chair of CSTF 1325, Ms. Pakshan Zangana and by the Director General of the Iraqi Women Empowerment Department of the Council of Ministers, Dr. Ibtisam Aziz.
Representatives of the international community expressed their commitment to support women’s rights and their participation in the process of peace building in Iraq as well as in the upcoming phase of the development of the second NAP. On behalf of the International community the conference was addressed by the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq, Mr. Jan Kubiš, British Ambassador to Iraq, Jon Wilks, Charge d’Affairs of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Marielle Geraedts, and by the Country Director of UN Women, Ms. Dina Zorba.

Agahi to implement the Nokia-UNESCO Mobile Learning initiative to deliver quality education to teachers
Nokia Pakistan and UNESCO collaborate to launch Mobile Learning for Teacher’s in Pakistan using Nokia Education Delivery App to facilitate teacher training via mobile phones
Nokia Pakistan and UNESCO Islamabad launched the project “Mobile Learning Project for Teacher’s Professional Development” today as formal collaboration in the presence of senior government officials, Nokia representatives and UNESCO representatives. As part of this program, UNESCO and Nokia are joining hands, where Nokia is providing its mobile phones and its application “Nokia Education Delivery (NED) for UNESCO’s project on ‘use of ICT for professional development of public school teachers’ in remote areas.
Since 2011 NED has turned into an open source solution to improve livelihoods, and in order to support such mobile learning innovations to be filled with life in Pakistan, The project will be implemented by AGAHI, a UNESCO partner and a non-profit foundation working in the area of communication and media policy design.
Nokia developed NED to allow using a mobile phone to access and download videos and other educational materials from a constantly updated education library. Operating in hundreds of schools and having reached millions of students in the Philippines, Tanzania, Chile and Colombia, Nokia Education Delivery has been shown to improve study results and increase retention among students.
This collaboration is part of the agreement signed last year between UNESCO and Nokia at international level to promote the use of mobile technologies to further the objectives of “Education for All”. As part of this agreement Nokia is developing applications and new Mobile technologies offering access to information and enrich learning environments at global level.
In Pakistan, through the project “Mobile Learning for Teachers” Nokia’s Education Delivery application will help UNESCO to enable the delivery of high- quality educational materials to teachers who lack training and resources though mobile phones giving an opportunity to teachers to train themselves on the same level as professionally competent teachers.
Speaking about the project, UNESCO Director, Kozue Kai Nagata said, “In 21st century Public- private partnerships are enjoying growing attention and support as a new and sustainable modality for development. We are confident to collaborate with Nokia to provide us with the best platform to train public school teachers. Nokia Education Delivery is fit to match our need of delivering quality training to a large number of public school teachers across Pakistan through the project named “Mobile Learning for Teachers”
Amir Jahangir, President AGAHI and a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, shared his views on the launch that “Pakistan is a knowledge starved country, where universal education has its own challenges. To meet the target of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) on education, Pakistan needs to address its education challenges through innovation and technology which can reach to a larger population with cost effective solutions”.
Speaking about the launch of NED program, Ulrike Vott Nokia Sustainability Manager for Middle East said, “Nokia Education Delivery facilitates education in a fun and interactive way. In addition to the NED software, Nokia offers program implementation support for the benefit of Pakistan’s education landscape.” The Nokia Education Delivery software system has two modules. The first module is installed on a Nokia mobile phone and contains a browse able catalog of educational videos. The second module is installed on the computer of the education administrator. It manages the organization’s mobile video library, so that videos can be added, deleted and updated. It also provides information on the usage of different videos.”
This unique pilot project for Pakistan has been initiated by UNESCO and AGAHI aims at using Mobile phones as medium for training teachers, where the teachers in remote areas will be equipped with devices, SIMs, a software solution and high quality educational content. The course for training and capacity building will be developed into video files and will be transmitted step by step according to curriculum on the phones provided to teachers. Over the course of the training period, teachers will be tested via SMS on regular basis and as an incentive, those who will score highest in tests will receive free mobile top ups. At the end of the course, test scores of all teachers will be aggregated and the passing teachers will be awarded certificate in the final workshop.
AGAHI is UNESCO implementing partner in Pakistan. A not for profit, AGAHI specializes in creating communication, information and media policy design tools, that enables the stakeholders to engage in information collaboration on knowledge-based platforms. AGAHI works in building the capacity of knowledge workers in creating content based on best practices to disseminate information in building a more integrated knowledge ecosystem.
