Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction
"Under this initiative, we will support specific cooperation projects, initially in Russia, to address non-proliferation, disarmament, counter-terrorism and nuclear safety issues. Among our priority concerns are the destruction of chemical weapons, the dismantlement of decommissioned nuclear submarines, the disposition of fissile materials and the employment of former weapons scientists."

Andean Community
"The key objectives of the Andean Community (CAN) are: to promote the balanced and harmonious development of the member countries under equitable conditions, to boost their growth through integration and economic and social cooperation, to enhance participation in the regional integration process with a view to the progressive formation of a Latin American common market, and to strive for a steady improvement in the standard of living of their inhabitants."

Latin American Business Council
"The LABC's main activities are the promotion of strategic thinking and exchanges between our nations and, to some extent, the coordination of actions."

Protocol of Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty
"The regulations contained in the Protocol are primarily of a preventive nature: environmental damage should, as far as possible, be prevented or kept to an absolute minimum. As a unique nature reserve, the unspoilt nature of Antarctica is to be preserved."

World Radiocommunication Conference
"At the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-2000) in Istanbul, representatives from 150 countries discussed the need to provide the users of frequency spectrum with an updated regulatory framework that will meet user requirements for the next 20 years."

International standards and protocols for combating terrorist financing.
"Recognizing the importance of international cooperation, the United States has worked not only through the United Nations on blocking assets, but also through multilateral organizations and on a bilateral basis to promote international standards and establish protocols for combating terrorist financing."

Police Working Group
"Increased cooperation among European police forces is making life more difficult for terrorists."

Vostok ice core, Antarctica
"French, Russian and American researchers have measured the temperature, the aerosol and greenhouse gas concentration and various other climate and environmental parameters over the last four climate cycles. The results confirm the idea that climate variations are caused by the Earth�s orbital changes and to a large extent amplified by greenhouse gases."

Russian device on a NASA interplanetary spacecraft
"KHEND is designed to study the composition of the Martian surface and to search for areas with increased content of 'underground' water and ice. 'Such areas,' it was stressed at Russia's Foreign Ministry, are of particular interest for future unmanned exploratory stations, since water is an essential resource for ensuring their stay on Mars and their return to the Earth."

Chernobyl projects
"Here you will find the background to projects in the management of the Chernobyl disaster that are underway or have been realised. One important objective, according to the www.chernobyl.info guidelines, is to link the numerous large and small projects with each other."
