In a bid to move on from a bitter past, the U-S and Vietnam have signed letters of diplomatic recognition in Hanoi.
Warren Christopher is the first U-S Secretary of State to go there since the Vietnam War.
Now he says his government's priority is to deal with the problem of American GIs missing since the end of the war.
America is still getting over its bitter experiences in the Vietnam War. It's only now, twenty years after hostilities ended, that relations are beginning to normalise.
Warren Christopher's visit is the clearest indication of the improved relationship. He's in Vietnam to open the new U-S embassy in the capital city, Hanoi. He'll also hold trade talks, and discuss the issue of American M-I-As.
At Hanoi's Noi Bai airport, he was greeted by Vietnam's deputy Foreign Minister Le Mai.
His first task was to witness the hand over of the remains of four servicemen. Thousands remain missing, a constant reminder of America's defeat in south east Asia.
Those working to track down M-I-As say the normalisation of diplomatic relations will be a great boost.
SOUNDBITE:
I think it's important for every man in uniform to understand that his government isn't going to forget about him if he gets lost on the battlefield, their going to come back and look for him, so from that angle it's very important as well.
SUPER CAPTION: Lt Col David Fredrikson, US Army
Both sides hope the thaw in relations will help erase difficult memories.
SOUNDBITE:
As the first secretary of State to visit Vietnam in a quarter of a century, I'm here to lay a basis for a better future even as we continue to account for the past.
SUPER CAPTION: Warren Christopher, US Secretary of State
Foreign Minister Nguyen Manh Cam joined Christopher to sign letters of diplomatic recognition as their two countries step closer together.
SOUNDBITE
This day has been made possible, not only by our two governments, but by the many Vietnamese and many Americans who have worked together to account for the missing United States service personnel.
SUPER CAPTION Warren Christopher, US Secretary of State
Vietnam is anxious to gain Most Favoured Nation trade status with the United States. Dealing with their mutual past will be a necessary and painful process before that will be acceptable to the American public

The President of Macedonia has revealed that the decision to give diplomatic recognition to Taiwan - rather than China - was taken without his knowledge.
The country's foreign minister, Aleksandr Dimitrov, signed the diplomatic accord in Taipei while President Gligorov was meeting with officials from Beijing.
But it appears that the decision will stand - giving the island state a much needed boost in its rivalry with mainland China.
Foreign Minister Dimitrov signed the deal with his Taiwanese counterpart Jason Hu at a ceremony in Taipei on Wednesday.
Shortly after the news broke, Macedonian President Kiro Gligorov called the pact a "surprise."
He had met on Wednesday with China's ambassador in the capital Skopje and came out saying Macedonia still recognized Beijing as "the only legitimate representative of the Chinese people."
But despite the remarks which were later withdrawn - Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that ties with Macedonia are "stable and will endure."
According to Taiwanese officials Kiro was kept in the dark throughout a year of talks between Taiwan and members of the three centre-right parties that defeated the president's former communist allies in parliamentary elections last November.
Taipei's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said under Macedonia's constitution, the president is a figure head who has no power to decide foreign policy, making Kiro's denial of the agreement with Taiwan meaningless.
Macedonia is the latest country caught up in 50-year old tit-for-tat struggle for diplomatic recognition between Taiwan and Beijing, heirs to a civil war that divided them in 1949.
Establishment of ties was a small but significant victory in Taiwan's campaign to buck the diplomatic isolation Beijing seeks to impose on it.
Macedonia became Taiwan's 28th diplomatic ally, and only the second country in Europe to have ties with Taiwan, after the Vatican.
Jason Hu said his nation hoped relations would improve.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I hope there will be a better atmosphere, I think this is the wish of my colleagues too between mainland China and Taiwan too and better communications and better dialogue better relationships. But at the same time we have to do what we have to do and not to relax or let go, let loose what is our responsibility."
SUPER CAPTION: Jason Hu, Foreign Minister of Taiwan
After signing an agreement on ties with the Macedonian Foreign Minister, Jason Hu declared a "breakthrough for pragmatic diplomacy in Europe," where high-level Taiwanese leaders are usually refused permission to visit.
Foreign Minister of Macedonia, Aleksandar Dimitrov said signing the agreement was a step in the right direction.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Republic of China is some kind of miracle in this part of the region. We want the Republic of Macedonia to become a miracle too in South eastern Europe or better say the Balkans. So we decide to promote some kind of confidence building between each people of the two countries. So looking at that, it was then easier to sign this
agreement and other possible cooperation."
SUPERCAPTION: Aleksandar Dimitrov, Foreign Minister of Macedonia.
China considers Taiwan a renegade province with no right to its own international relations, and severs ties with any country that recognizes the island as an independent nation.
There was no immediate comment from Beijing on Taiwan's agreement with Macedonia.
Hu said he planned to accept an invitation to visit Macedonia in late February.
A delegation of Macedonian journalists and parliamentarians plans to visit Taiwan early next month.

A brief explanation of the Trent Affair, a relatively unknown civil war moment in 1861 during the American Civil War. Two Confederate diplomats, James Mason and John Slidell, were confiscated from the RMS Trent on their way to Europe seeking diplomatic recognition from Great Britain and France. The culmination of this almost brought Great Britain and France into the conflict. Could the South have 'won' the civil war (achieved mediation)? Though it could be argued that the aftermath of the Trent was merely posturing on the part of the European powers, it isn’t clear what might have occurred had President Lincoln decided against capitulation. The Trent Affair is a seldom explained Civil War story, and this is why I decided to dramatize the tale. Enjoy!

I promised to include a more clear understanding of the maritime law situation, so here it goes... Great Britain and France chose to be ‘neutral’ during the conflict between the Union and the Confederacy, but this begs the question: how can one be ‘neutral’ to the South without simultaneously acknowledging their existence? The answer is, you can’t. By becoming ‘neutral’, G.B. and France recognized the Confederacy as a ‘belligerent’ state. In doing so, this placed the North’s blockade in a legal grey area.
This is why the South wanted diplomatic recognition from the European powers. If they could hold out long enough against the Union, perhaps Europe might intervene and mediate the conflict. From my research, this was the intention of President Davis, and not an all out victory against the Northern states.
A more clear explanation can be found either by scowering the Trent Affair wikipedia article, or the Confederate Diplomacy article.

State enjoys the rights, duties and obligations under International law.
When the existing States declare that in their opinion the new state fulfills the condition of statehood as required by International law then the new state is recognised as a state and becomes member of International community.
Recognition means acknowledgement for acceptance of a new state as a member of International community.
The attributes of Statehood are people, territory, Government and sovereignty.
There are two main theories of recognition. 1. Constitutive theory and 2. Declaratory theory.
1. Constitutive theory-
According to this theory, when existing states recognises new state by their consent, then only the new state becomes International personality.
Recognition depends on will and consent of existing States. Therefore independence of new entity shall not amount to be called state unless it is recognised by existing states.
2. Declaratory theory-
According to declaratory theory, a new state already possesses essential attribute of statehood, prior to recognition. Recognition is only formal acknowledgement of established fact. The act of recognition is only declaratory of an existing fact.
Mode or Kinds of Recognition-
There are two kinds of recognition 1. De facto recognition 2. De jure recognition.
De facto recognition-
De facto recognition is provisional, subject to fulfillment of all the attributes of statehood. In this recognition, recognising states considers that attributes of statehood is not stable, they are doubtful. De facto recognition gives few rights, duties and obligations under International Law. However diplomatic relations cannot be established. Thus diplomatic immunity are not granted. De facto recognition can be withdrawn in case of non-fulfillment of the prerequisite conditions of statehood. Because it is interim and provisional.
De jure recognition-
De jure recognition is permanent recognition. It is given when a new state had achieved all the attributes of statehood and is stable. De jure recognition amounts new state to enjoy all the rights, duties and obligations under International law. He can establish diplomatic relations with other states. De jure recognition is final and irrevocable it cannot be withdrawn.
Is there a duty to recognize?
International Law grants a duty to existing state to recognise new states when they fulfill all the attributes of statehood. However under International Law there is no obligation to recognise a new state. In practical States do not accept this duty normally. For example when Bangladesh emerged as a new state Pakistan and China did not accord recognition for some time but by doing so they did not violated International law because recognition is diplomatic political function and depend on the discretion of the recognising state.
Legal effect of recognition-
• The recognised state becomes entitled to sue in the court of recognising state.
• The court of recognising state acknowledges to the past as well as present legislation and executive act of recognised state (Retroactive effect).
• Recognised a state can make diplomatic relations and can claim certain immunity and property.
• Diplomatic Envoy of recognised state gets number of privileges and immunities in the recognizing state.
Retroactive effect of recognition –
De jure recognition is said to have retrospective effect, it means after a state is recognized, its act done prior to the date of recognition are also recognized. This is generally done with a view to establish friendly relations with the state recognized.

In Vietnam, the celebrations are underway following the news that the country has been given diplomatic recognition from the U-S.
And not just amongst the Vietnamese - American residents there say the breakthrough will help to heal the scars left by the Vietnam War.
In the early morning hours, a group of Americans gather at the Polite Pub to watch Clinton's White House statement and celebrate the beginning of diplomatic relations.
American businessmen are particularly pleased, although there is already a strong American business presence in Vietnam.
Clinton dropped an economic embargo against Vietnam last year, and the United States is already Vietnam's eighth largest foreign investor.
SOUNDBITE
Normalization ends the longest American war ever and psychologically that's a big point for Americans. But further normalization gives the American businesses the same level that our competitors have in Vietnam, the government-business relationship.
SUPER CAPTION James Rockwell, U-S Business Consultant)
For Vietnamese there was relief, with Clinton's announcement symbolizing that long years of enmity are over at last and that Vietnam is emerging into the international arena from years of isolation.
SOUNDBITE
It is just something that I'm very happy about. It means my country is recognized, by Americans! And I think President Clinton is a very brave man.
SUPER CAPTION Bui Thi Phuong Lan, English Teacher
Americans have watched for years as the search went on for more than 2-thousand missing from the war, and the slow start towards normal relations that developed over the last three years.
Earlier this month, Americans who live in Hanoi celebrated the first official July Fourth held here in 40 years, and many believe that establishing full diplomatic relations will help put an end to a long nightmare for America.
SOUNDBITE
And for American veterans I think it will help a lot of vets finally close the door on that terrible period in our history when we were fighting in Vietnam and the years after that, when we had so much about our relations with Vietnam unresolved. The symbolic act of normalizing relations I think will go a long way towards bringing closure to American vets.
SUPER CAPTION Chuck Searcy, Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation
As the celebrations continue, hopes are high the diplomatic move will help close a painful chapter.

In May 2008, Taiwan's president Ma Ying-Jeou proposed a diplomatic truce with China; each agreed to abandon its practice of "buying" diplomatic recognition from small, impoverished countries. Through this settlement, will Taiwan be able to maintain and expand its international space? Four Taiwan experts, speaking at a December 8 Asia Program event, concurred that in spite of this development, the Beijing-Taipei diplomatic rivalry will continue.

Diplomatic recognition in international law is a unilateral political act with domestic and international legal consequences, whereby a state acknowledges an act or status of another state or government in control of a state (may be also an unrecognised state). Recognition can be accorded either de facto or de jure, usually by a statement of the recognizing government.
Diplomatic recognition must be distinguished from recognition of states and their governments. The fact that states do not maintain bilateral diplomatic relations does not mean that they do not recognize or treat one another as states. A state is not required to accord formal recognition to any other state, but it is required to treat any entity that meets certain requirements as a state. A state has a responsibility to not recognize as a state any entity that has attained the qualifications for statehood by violating the prohibition on the threat or use of force in the UN Charter. States can exercise their recognition powers either explicitly or implicitly. The recognition of a government implies recognition of the state it governs, but vice versa, it works the same way.

2:01TAIWAN: MACEDONIA'S FOREIGN MINISTER SIGNS DIPLOMATIC ACCORD
TAIWAN: MACEDONIA'S FOREIGN MINISTER SIGNS DIPLOMATIC ACCORDTAIWAN: MACEDONIA'S FOREIGN MINISTER SIGNS DIPLOMATIC ACCORD
Mandarin/Nat The President of Macedonia has revealed that the decision to give diplomatic recognition to Taiwan - rather than China - was taken without his knowledge. The country's foreign minister, Aleksandr Dimitrov, signed the diplomatic accord in Taipei while President Gligorov was meeting with officials from Beijing. But it appears that the decision will stand - giving the island state a much needed boost in its rivalry with mainland China. Foreign Minister Dimitrov signed the deal with his Taiwanese counterpart Jason Hu at a ceremony in Taipei on Wednesday. Shortly after the news broke, Macedonian President Kiro Gligorov called the pact a "surprise." He had met on Wednesday with China's ambassador in the capital Skopje and came out saying Macedonia still recognized Beijing as "the only legitimate representative of the Chinese people." But despite the remarks which were later withdrawn - Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that ties with Macedonia are "stable and will endure." According to Taiwanese officials Kiro was kept in the dark throughout a year of talks between Taiwan and members of the three centre-right parties that defeated the president's former communist allies in parliamentary elections last November. Taipei's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said under Macedonia's constitution, the president is a figure head who has no power to decide foreign policy, making Kiro's denial of the agreement with Taiwan meaningless. Macedonia is the latest country caught up in 50-year old tit-for-tat struggle for diplomatic recognition between Taiwan and Beijing, heirs to a civil war that divided them in 1949. Establishment of ties was a small but significant victory in Taiwan's campaign to buck the diplomatic isolation Beijing seeks to impose on it. Macedonia became Taiwan's 28th diplomatic ally, and only the second country in Europe to have ties with Taiwan, after the Vatican. Jason Hu said his nation hoped relations would improve. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I hope there will be a better atmosphere, I think this is the wish of my colleagues too between mainland China and Taiwan too and better communications and better dialogue better relationships. But at the same time we have to do what we have to do and not to relax or let go, let loose what is our responsibility." SUPER CAPTION: Jason Hu, Foreign Minister of Taiwan After signing an agreement on ties with the Macedonian Foreign Minister, Jason Hu declared a "breakthrough for pragmatic diplomacy in Europe," where high-level Taiwanese leaders are usually refused permission to visit. Foreign Minister of Macedonia, Aleksandar Dimitrov said signing the agreement was a step in the right direction. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Republic of China is some kind of miracle in this part of the region. We want the Republic of Macedonia to become a miracle too in South eastern Europe or better say the Balkans. So we decide to promote some kind of confidence building between each people of the two countries. So looking at that, it was then easier to sign this agreement and other possible cooperation." SUPERCAPTION: Aleksandar Dimitrov, Foreign Minister of Macedonia. China considers Taiwan a renegade province with no right to its own international relations, and severs ties with any country that recognizes the island as an independent nation. There was no immediate comment from Beijing on Taiwan's agreement with Macedonia. Hu said he planned to accept an invitation to visit Macedonia in late February. A delegation of Macedonian journalists and parliamentarians plans to visit Taiwan early next month.

7:15Would Great Britain Side With The Confederacy? (Trent Affair)
Would Great Britain Side With The Confederacy? (Trent Affair)Would Great Britain Side With The Confederacy? (Trent Affair)
A brief explanation of the Trent Affair, a relatively unknown civil war moment in 1861 during the American Civil War. Two Confederate diplomats, James Mason and John Slidell, were confiscated from the RMS Trent on their way to Europe seeking diplomatic recognition from Great Britain and France. The culmination of this almost brought Great Britain and France into the conflict. Could the South have 'won' the civil war (achieved mediation)? Though it could be argued that the aftermath of the Trent was merely posturing on the part of the European powers, it isn’t clear what might have occurred had President Lincoln decided against capitulation. The Trent Affair is a seldom explained Civil War story, and this is why I decided to dramatize the tale. Enjoy! Share This Video ➜https://youtu.be/zRIqMVENLZg ★ ★Share This Video On Reddit➜ https://www.reddit.com/r/curiousvideos/submit I promised to include a more clear understanding of the maritime law situation, so here it goes... Great Britain and France chose to be ‘neutral’ during the conflict between the Union and the Confederacy, but this begs the question: how can one be ‘neutral’ to the South without simultaneously acknowledging their existence? The answer is, you can’t. By becoming ‘neutral’, G.B. and France recognized the Confederacy as a ‘belligerent’ state. In doing so, this placed the North’s blockade in a legal grey area. This is why the South wanted diplomatic recognition from the European powers. If they could hold out long enough against the Union, perhaps Europe might intervene and mediate the conflict. From my research, this was the intention of President Davis, and not an all out victory against the Northern states. A more clear explanation can be found either by scowering the Trent Affair wikipedia article, or the Confederate Diplomacy article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trent_Affair Furthermore, this article from history.com does a good synopsis of the story: http://www.history.com/topics/american-civil-war/trent-affair If you really want to go deep in the rabbit hole on this topic, check out this dated but interesting write up entitled: “Great Britain and the American Civil War” http://www.gutenberg.org/files/13789/13789-h/13789-h.htm Also, The Trent Affair: The Diplomatic Incident That Nearly Brought Great Britain into the American Civil War helped me during my research. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23690482-the-trent-affair Further Credits for Photographs listed below.

7:51Recognition : International Law
Recognition : International LawRecognition : International Law
State enjoys the rights, duties and obligations under International law. When the existing States declare that in their opinion the new state fulfills the condition of statehood as required by International law then the new state is recognised as a state and becomes member of International community. Recognition means acknowledgement for acceptance of a new state as a member of International community. The attributes of Statehood are people, territory, Government and sovereignty. There are two main theories of recognition. 1. Constitutive theory and 2. Declaratory theory. 1. Constitutive theory- According to this theory, when existing states recognises new state by their consent, then only the new state becomes International personality. Recognition depends on will and consent of existing States. Therefore independence of new entity shall not amount to be called state unless it is recognised by existing states. 2. Declaratory theory- According to declaratory theory, a new state already possesses essential attribute of statehood, prior to recognition. Recognition is only formal acknowledgement of established fact. The act of recognition is only declaratory of an existing fact. Mode or Kinds of Recognition- There are two kinds of recognition 1. De facto recognition 2. De jure recognition. De facto recognition- De facto recognition is provisional, subject to fulfillment of all the attributes of statehood. In this recognition, recognising states considers that attributes of statehood is not stable, they are doubtful. De facto recognition gives few rights, duties and obligations under International Law. However diplomatic relations cannot be established. Thus diplomatic immunity are not granted. De facto recognition can be withdrawn in case of non-fulfillment of the prerequisite conditions of statehood. Because it is interim and provisional. De jure recognition- De jure recognition is permanent recognition. It is given when a new state had achieved all the attributes of statehood and is stable. De jure recognition amounts new state to enjoy all the rights, duties and obligations under International law. He can establish diplomatic relations with other states. De jure recognition is final and irrevocable it cannot be withdrawn. Is there a duty to recognize? International Law grants a duty to existing state to recognise new states when they fulfill all the attributes of statehood. However under International Law there is no obligation to recognise a new state. In practical States do not accept this duty normally. For example when Bangladesh emerged as a new state Pakistan and China did not accord recognition for some time but by doing so they did not violated International law because recognition is diplomatic political function and depend on the discretion of the recognising state. Legal effect of recognition- • The recognised state becomes entitled to sue in the court of recognising state. • The court of recognising state acknowledges to the past as well as present legislation and executive act of recognised state (Retroactive effect). • Recognised a state can make diplomatic relations and can claim certain immunity and property. • Diplomatic Envoy of recognised state gets number of privileges and immunities in the recognizing state. Retroactive effect of recognition – De jure recognition is said to have retrospective effect, it means after a state is recognized, its act done prior to the date of recognition are also recognized. This is generally done with a view to establish friendly relations with the state recognized. -

English/Nat In Vietnam, the celebrations are underway following the news that the country has been given diplomatic recognition from the U-S. And not just amongst the Vietnamese - American residents there say the breakthrough will help to heal the scars left by the Vietnam War. In the early morning hours, a group of Americans gather at the Polite Pub to watch Clinton's White House statement and celebrate the beginning of diplomatic relations. American businessmen are particularly pleased, although there is already a strong American business presence in Vietnam. Clinton dropped an economic embargo against Vietnam last year, and the United States is already Vietnam's eighth largest foreign investor. SOUNDBITE Normalization ends the longest American war ever and psychologically that's a big point for Americans. But further normalization gives the American businesses the same level that our competitors have in Vietnam, the government-business relationship. SUPER CAPTION James Rockwell, U-S Business Consultant) For Vietnamese there was relief, with Clinton's announcement symbolizing that long years of enmity are over at last and that Vietnam is emerging into the international arena from years of isolation. SOUNDBITE It is just something that I'm very happy about. It means my country is recognized, by Americans! And I think President Clinton is a very brave man. SUPER CAPTION Bui Thi Phuong Lan, English Teacher Americans have watched for years as the search went on for more than 2-thousand missing from the war, and the slow start towards normal relations that developed over the last three years. Earlier this month, Americans who live in Hanoi celebrated the first official July Fourth held here in 40 years, and many believe that establishing full diplomatic relations will help put an end to a long nightmare for America. SOUNDBITE And for American veterans I think it will help a lot of vets finally close the door on that terrible period in our history when we were fighting in Vietnam and the years after that, when we had so much about our relations with Vietnam unresolved. The symbolic act of normalizing relations I think will go a long way towards bringing closure to American vets. SUPER CAPTION Chuck Searcy, Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation As the celebrations continue, hopes are high the diplomatic move will help close a painful chapter.

English/Nat U-N- officials and Western diplomats have said that China's plans to veto a U-N- resolution, renewing the mandate of the U-N- peacekeeping force in Macedonia, would be a severe setback for stability in a volatile region. China has taken its stance in retaliation for Skopje's diplomatic recognition of Taiwan. The United Nations first deployed troops in the country in 1993 to help stabilise the newborn state. Numbers have been reinforced to stem any spillover of the Kosovo crisis across the border. Despite the uncertainty ahead, troops from the 1st Squadron, 4th U-S Cavalry, serving with the U-N- Preventive Deployment Force (U-N-P-R-E-D-E-P-) are standing by at the ready. U-S troops serving with (U-N-P-R-E-D-E-P-) continue to maintain their readiness in order to prevent clashes in Kosovo from spreading into Macedonia. This base, "Camp Able Sentry", situated at Skopje Airport, is one of 16 U-N-P-R-E-D-E-P- observation posts scattered along the border of Macedonia and Kosovo. The United Nations deployed troops in Macedonia in 1993, their mission to maintain order in that country and prevent hostilities from spilling over from the former Yugoslavia. As of today their future remains uncertain. China plans to use its veto in the Security council to end the mandate of the 1,100-strong force. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Regardless of the vote tonight we will continue to do our job as per the mandate or until told otherwise" SUPER CAPTION: Cpt. Robert Belleville. 1st Squadron, 4th U-S Cavalry APTN asked whether China's decision concerning the extension of U-N-P-R-E-D-E-P- in Macedonia would have been the same if Macedonia had not recently established ties with Taiwan. Zhang Qiyue, The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman replied,"In the past, China took Macedonia's request into consideration. We adopted a very flexible and cooperative attitude on the Macedonian issue. Now, for reasons known to all, China is reconsidering the Macedonia issue and there is no more need for China to yield to the request of the Macedonia side. China's decision is based on the merits of this case itself. That is to say, proceeding from the reality here (of the situation)." Beijing's move was made in response to last month's decision by Macedonia to open diplomatic relations with Taiwan. China has severed diplomatic ties with Skopje. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Basically we are here to observe the U-N mandate and regardless of the veto tonight or whatever China decides to do we will carry on our mission or until to do otherwise" SUPER CAPTION: Specialist Jason Hotham. 1st Squadron, 4th U-S Cavalry The possibility remains that if China does veto U-N-P-R-E-D-E-P's presence that they will remain under a NATO umbrella grouping, nonetheless. NATO plans to move 28,000 peacekeeping troops through Macedonia to Kosovo if Belgrade and ethnic Albanian separatists reach agreement in March.

RR7106A EAST AFRICA: INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT NYERERE
7106/A: EAST AFRICA: INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT NYERERE The 1971 overthrow of President Milton Obote of Uganda in a military coup has caused upheaval on the East African political scene.

English/Nat
In a bid to move on from a bitter past, the U-S and Vietnam have signed letters of diplomatic recognition in Hanoi.
Warren Christopher is the first U-S Secretary of State to go there since the Vietnam War.
Now he says his government's priority is to deal with the problem of American GIs missing since the end of the war.
America is still getting over its bitter experiences in the Vietnam War. It's only now, twenty years after hostilities ended, that relations are beginning to normalise.
Warren Christopher's visit is the clearest indication of the improved relationship. He's in Vietnam to open the new U-S embassy in the capital city, Hanoi. He'll also hold trade talks, and discuss the issue of American M-I-As.
At Hanoi's Noi Bai airport, he was greeted by Vietnam's deputy Foreign Minister Le Mai.
His first task was to witness the hand over of the remains of four servicemen. Thousands remain missing, a constant reminder of America's defeat in south east Asia.
Those working to track down M-I-As say the normalisation of diplomatic relations will be a great boost.
SOUNDBITE:
I think it's important for every man in uniform to understand that his government isn't going to forget about him if he gets lost on the battlefield, their going to come back and look for him, so from that angle it's very important as well.
SUPER CAPTION: Lt Col David Fredrikson, US Army
Both sides hope the thaw in relations will help erase difficult memories.
SOUNDBITE:
As the first secretary of State to visit Vietnam in a quarter of a century, I'm here to lay a basis for a better future even as we continue to account for the past.
SUPER CAPTION: Warren Christopher, US Secretary of State
Foreign Minister Nguyen Manh Cam joined Christopher to sign letters of diplomatic recognition as their two countries step closer together.
SOUNDBITE
This day has been made possible, not only by our two governments, but by the many Vietnamese and many Americans who have worked together to account for the missing United States service personnel.
SUPER CAPTION Warren Christopher, US Secretary of State
Vietnam is anxious to gain Most Favoured Nation trade status with the United States. Dealing with their mutual past will be a necessary and painful process before that will be acceptable to the American public

TAIWAN: MACEDONIA'S FOREIGN MINISTER SIGNS DIPLOMATIC ACCORD

Mandarin/Nat
The President of Macedonia has revealed that the decision to give diplomatic recognition to Taiwan - rather than China - was taken without his knowledge.
The country's foreign minister, Aleksandr Dimitrov, signed the diplomatic accord in Taipei while President Gligorov was meeting with officials from Beijing.
But it appears that the decision will stand - giving the island state a much needed boost in its rivalry with mainland China.
Foreign Minister Dimitrov signed the deal with his Taiwanese counterpart Jason Hu at a ceremony in Taipei on Wednesday.
Shortly after the news broke, Macedonian President Kiro Gligorov called the pact a "surprise."
He had met on Wednesday with China's ambassador in the capital Skopje and came out saying Macedonia still recognized Beijing as "the only legitimate representative of the Chinese people."
But despite the remarks which were later withdrawn - Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that ties with Macedonia are "stable and will endure."
According to Taiwanese officials Kiro was kept in the dark throughout a year of talks between Taiwan and members of the three centre-right parties that defeated the president's former communist allies in parliamentary elections last November.
Taipei's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said under Macedonia's constitution, the president is a figure head who has no power to decide foreign policy, making Kiro's denial of the agreement with Taiwan meaningless.
Macedonia is the latest country caught up in 50-year old tit-for-tat struggle for diplomatic recognition between Taiwan and Beijing, heirs to a civil war that divided them in 1949.
Establishment of ties was a small but significant victory in Taiwan's campaign to buck the diplomatic isolation Beijing seeks to impose on it.
Macedonia became Taiwan's 28th diplomatic ally, and only the second country in Europe to have ties with Taiwan, after the Vatican.
Jason Hu said his nation hoped relations would improve.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I hope there will be a better atmosphere, I think this is the wish of my colleagues too between mainland China and Taiwan too and better communications and better dialogue better relationships. But at the same time we have to do what we have to do and not to relax or let go, let loose what is our responsibility."
SUPER CAPTION: Jason Hu, Foreign Minister of Taiwan
After signing an agreement on ties with the Macedonian Foreign Minister, Jason Hu declared a "breakthrough for pragmatic diplomacy in Europe," where high-level Taiwanese leaders are usually refused permission to visit.
Foreign Minister of Macedonia, Aleksandar Dimitrov said signing the agreement was a step in the right direction.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Republic of China is some kind of miracle in this part of the region. We want the Republic of Macedonia to become a miracle too in South eastern Europe or better say the Balkans. So we decide to promote some kind of confidence building between each people of the two countries. So looking at that, it was then easier to sign this
agreement and other possible cooperation."
SUPERCAPTION: Aleksandar Dimitrov, Foreign Minister of Macedonia.
China considers Taiwan a renegade province with no right to its own international relations, and severs ties with any country that recognizes the island as an independent nation.
There was no immediate comment from Beijing on Taiwan's agreement with Macedonia.
Hu said he planned to accept an invitation to visit Macedonia in late February.
A delegation of Macedonian journalists and parliamentarians plans to visit Taiwan early next month.

A brief explanation of the Trent Affair, a relatively unknown civil war moment in 1861 during the American Civil War. Two Confederate diplomats, James Mason and John Slidell, were confiscated from the RMS Trent on their way to Europe seeking diplomatic recognition from Great Britain and France. The culmination of this almost brought Great Britain and France into the conflict. Could the South have 'won' the civil war (achieved mediation)? Though it could be argued that the aftermath of the Trent was merely posturing on the part of the European powers, it isn’t clear what might have occurred had President Lincoln decided against capitulation. The Trent Affair is a seldom explained Civil War story, and this is why I decided to dramatize the tale. Enjoy!

I promised to include a more clear understanding of the maritime law situation, so here it goes... Great Britain and France chose to be ‘neutral’ during the conflict between the Union and the Confederacy, but this begs the question: how can one be ‘neutral’ to the South without simultaneously acknowledging their existence? The answer is, you can’t. By becoming ‘neutral’, G.B. and France recognized the Confederacy as a ‘belligerent’ state. In doing so, this placed the North’s blockade in a legal grey area.
This is why the South wanted diplomatic recognition from the European powers. If they could hold out long enough against the Union, perhaps Europe might intervene and mediate the conflict. From my research, this was the intention of President Davis, and not an all out victory against the Northern states.
A more clear explanation can be found either by scowering the Trent Affair wikipedia article, or the Confederate Diplomacy article.

State enjoys the rights, duties and obligations under International law.
When the existing States declare that in their opinion the new state fulfills the condition of statehood as required by International law then the new state is recognised as a state and becomes member of International community.
Recognition means acknowledgement for acceptance of a new state as a member of International community.
The attributes of Statehood are people, territory, Government and sovereignty.
There are two main theories of recognition. 1. Constitutive theory and 2. Declaratory theory.
1. Constitutive theory-
According to this theory, when existing states recognises new state by their consent, then only the new state becomes International personality.
Recognition depends on will and consent of existing States. Therefore independence of new entity shall not amount to be called state unless it is recognised by existing states.
2. Declaratory theory-
According to declaratory theory, a new state already possesses essential attribute of statehood, prior to recognition. Recognition is only formal acknowledgement of established fact. The act of recognition is only declaratory of an existing fact.
Mode or Kinds of Recognition-
There are two kinds of recognition 1. De facto recognition 2. De jure recognition.
De facto recognition-
De facto recognition is provisional, subject to fulfillment of all the attributes of statehood. In this recognition, recognising states considers that attributes of statehood is not stable, they are doubtful. De facto recognition gives few rights, duties and obligations under International Law. However diplomatic relations cannot be established. Thus diplomatic immunity are not granted. De facto recognition can be withdrawn in case of non-fulfillment of the prerequisite conditions of statehood. Because it is interim and provisional.
De jure recognition-
De jure recognition is permanent recognition. It is given when a new state had achieved all the attributes of statehood and is stable. De jure recognition amounts new state to enjoy all the rights, duties and obligations under International law. He can establish diplomatic relations with other states. De jure recognition is final and irrevocable it cannot be withdrawn.
Is there a duty to recognize?
International Law grants a duty to existing state to recognise new states when they fulfill all the attributes of statehood. However under International Law there is no obligation to recognise a new state. In practical States do not accept this duty normally. For example when Bangladesh emerged as a new state Pakistan and China did not accord recognition for some time but by doing so they did not violated International law because recognition is diplomatic political function and depend on the discretion of the recognising state.
Legal effect of recognition-
• The recognised state becomes entitled to sue in the court of recognising state.
• The court of recognising state acknowledges to the past as well as present legislation and executive act of recognised state (Retroactive effect).
• Recognised a state can make diplomatic relations and can claim certain immunity and property.
• Diplomatic Envoy of recognised state gets number of privileges and immunities in the recognizing state.
Retroactive effect of recognition –
De jure recognition is said to have retrospective effect, it means after a state is recognized, its act done prior to the date of recognition are also recognized. This is generally done with a view to establish friendly relations with the state recognized.

English/Nat
In Vietnam, the celebrations are underway following the news that the country has been given diplomatic recognition from the U-S.
And not just amongst the Vietnamese - American residents there say the breakthrough will help to heal the scars left by the Vietnam War.
In the early morning hours, a group of Americans gather at the Polite Pub to watch Clinton's White House statement and celebrate the beginning of diplomatic relations.
American businessmen are particularly pleased, although there is already a strong American business presence in Vietnam.
Clinton dropped an economic embargo against Vietnam last year, and the United States is already Vietnam's eighth largest foreign investor.
SOUNDBITE
Normalization ends the longest American war ever and psychologically that's a big point for Americans. But further normalization gives the American businesses the same level that our competitors have in Vietnam, the government-business relationship.
SUPER CAPTION James Rockwell, U-S Business Consultant)
For Vietnamese there was relief, with Clinton's announcement symbolizing that long years of enmity are over at last and that Vietnam is emerging into the international arena from years of isolation.
SOUNDBITE
It is just something that I'm very happy about. It means my country is recognized, by Americans! And I think President Clinton is a very brave man.
SUPER CAPTION Bui Thi Phuong Lan, English Teacher
Americans have watched for years as the search went on for more than 2-thousand missing from the war, and the slow start towards normal relations that developed over the last three years.
Earlier this month, Americans who live in Hanoi celebrated the first official July Fourth held here in 40 years, and many believe that establishing full diplomatic relations will help put an end to a long nightmare for America.
SOUNDBITE
And for American veterans I think it will help a lot of vets finally close the door on that terrible period in our history when we were fighting in Vietnam and the years after that, when we had so much about our relations with Vietnam unresolved. The symbolic act of normalizing relations I think will go a long way towards bringing closure to American vets.
SUPER CAPTION Chuck Searcy, Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation
As the celebrations continue, hopes are high the diplomatic move will help close a painful chapter.

English/Nat
U-N- officials and Western diplomats have said that China's plans to veto a U-N- resolution, renewing the mandate of the U-N- peacekeeping force in Macedonia, would be a severe setback for stability in a volatile region.
China has taken its stance in retaliation for Skopje's diplomatic recognition of Taiwan.
The United Nations first deployed troops in the country in 1993 to help stabilise the newborn state.
Numbers have been reinforced to stem any spillover of the Kosovo crisis across the border.
Despite the uncertainty ahead, troops from the 1st Squadron, 4th U-S Cavalry, serving with the U-N- Preventive Deployment Force (U-N-P-R-E-D-E-P-) are standing by at the ready.
U-S troops serving with (U-N-P-R-E-D-E-P-) continue to maintain their readiness in order to prevent clashes in Kosovo from spreading into Macedonia.
This base, "Camp Able Sentry", situated at Skopje Airport, is one of 16 U-N-P-R-E-D-E-P- observation posts scattered along the border of Macedonia and Kosovo.
The United Nations deployed troops in Macedonia in 1993, their mission to maintain order in that country and prevent hostilities from spilling over from the former Yugoslavia.
As of today their future remains uncertain.
China plans to use its veto in the Security council to end the mandate of the 1,100-strong force.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Regardless of the vote tonight we will continue to do our job as per the mandate or until told otherwise"
SUPER CAPTION: Cpt. Robert Belleville. 1st Squadron, 4th U-S Cavalry
APTN asked whether China's decision concerning the extension of U-N-P-R-E-D-E-P- in Macedonia would have been the same if Macedonia had not recently established ties with Taiwan.
Zhang Qiyue, The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman replied,"In the past, China took Macedonia's request into consideration. We adopted a very flexible and cooperative attitude on the Macedonian issue. Now, for reasons known to all, China is reconsidering the Macedonia issue and there is no more need for China to yield to the request of the Macedonia side. China's decision is based on the merits of this case itself. That is to say, proceeding from the reality here (of the situation)."
Beijing's move was made in response to last month's decision by Macedonia to open diplomatic relations with Taiwan.
China has severed diplomatic ties with Skopje.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Basically we are here to observe the U-N mandate and regardless of the veto tonight or whatever China decides to do we will carry on our mission or until to do otherwise"
SUPER CAPTION: Specialist Jason Hotham. 1st Squadron, 4th U-S Cavalry
The possibility remains that if China does veto U-N-P-R-E-D-E-P's presence that they will remain under a NATO umbrella grouping, nonetheless.
NATO plans to move 28,000 peacekeeping troops through Macedonia to Kosovo if Belgrade and ethnic Albanian separatists reach agreement in March.

7106/A: EAST AFRICA: INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT NYERERE
The 1971 overthrow of President Milton Obote of
Uganda in a military coup has caused upheaval on the
East African political scene. The coup was greeted
with rejoicing in Kampala, but the new leader,
General Idi Amin, has so far received no diplomatic
recognition for his regime. Obote has taken refuge in
neighbouring Tanzania, where his cause is being
strongly championed by President Julius Nyerere.
We look at Ugandan developments, then move to a
wide-ranging interview with President Nyerere,
discussing not only Uganda but also the "arms for
South Africa" controversy and the question of Chinese
involvement in the construction of the multi-million
pound Tan-Zam railway project.

5. Wide of news conference
STORYLINE
Moammar Gadhafi's government in Libya suspended diplomatic ties with France on Friday after Paris officially recognised the opposition council battling to topple his regime.
Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled al-Koaem told reporters in Tripoli that Libya had decided to "suspend diplomatic ties with France," and he accused the French government of seeking to divide Libya.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has defended Thursday's promise to exchange ambassadors with the Interim Governing Council, an umbrella group of Gadhafi opponents based in the eastern city of Benghazi.
His decision was not welcomed by some European leaders because it came on the eve of a European Union summit intended to decide on a common strategy.
Delegates at the summit also politically supported Libya's opposition council. But they stopped short of giving it full diplomatic recognition.
In Tripoli, al-Koaem asserted that 85 percent of the country was under government control.
"We have all seen the magnitude of the support and the size of the rallies that took to the streets in the tens and hundreds of thousands across Libya. That is basically a referendum on the legitimacy of the regime," al-Koaem told reporters.

Labor Beat: Maximilien Arvelaiz - Venezuela Is Hope, Not A Threat
About 100 persons filled a lecture hall at DePaul University on Chicago’s north side on May 14, 2015 to hear Maximilien Sanchez Arvelaiz, Venezuela Ambassador designate. After Obama declared Venezuela a national security threat in March of 2015, the Venezuelan government recalled Arvelaiz, its Chargé d’Affaires in the U.S., for consultation. Because of the current security threat label put on Venezuela, the U.S. government has not given diplomatic recognition to Arvelaiz, so for now his functioning title is “Ambassador designate.” This move by the Obama administration continues the U.S. campaign to isolate and undermine the democratically-elected government of its current President Nicolas Maduro, who follows in the political footsteps of the late Hugo Chavez. The situation is fraught ... -

Jefferson Davis: Civil War, Facts, Biography, Education, Leadership, Early Life (2001)
Jefferson Finis Davis (June 3, 1807/1808 – December 6, 1889) was an American soldier and politician who was the President of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War (1861–1865). He took personal charge of the Confederate war plans but was unable to find a strategy to defeat the more populous and industrialized Union. His diplomatic efforts failed to gain recognition from any foreign country. At home he paid little attention to the collapsing Confederate economy; the government printed more and more paper money to cover the war's expenses, leading to runaway inflation and devaluation of the Confederate dollar. Davis was born in Kentucky to a moderately prosperous farmer, and grew up on his brother's large cotton plantations in Mississippi and Louisiana. His brother ... -
People and Power - Cuba Year Zero
Last year, the United States flag was raised in Cuba for the first time in more than five decades, as diplomatic relations between the two states were unfrozen and the American embassy in Havana reopened. This dramatic turnaround was preceded by a series of previously unthinkable shifts in policy enacted by the Cuban government, now led by Fidel Castro's brother, Raul. The president has been opening up Cuba's economy since 2010, permitting Cubans to open private businesses and buy and sell property, while foreign companies can now invest in the island nation. In three reports to be broadcast this month, we look at the reforms that appear to be bringing a return to capitalism ever closer and ask what these changes mean for Cuban citizens and the future of their socialist state.

Why have these countries chosen to recognize the Palestinian Authority (PA) as a state before final status talks in the Middle East peace process are resolved? Does the move challenge traditional U.S. leadership in the region? Is there a link between these diplomatic initiatives and Iran's growing footprint in the region?To a -

Will the U.S. Go to War with China? Trade Deficit, Financial Markets, Lobby, Economics (1997)
Chinese--U.S. relations (or Sino-American relations) refers to international relations between the United States of America (U.S.A.) and the People's Republic of China (P.R.C.) Most analysts characterize present Chinese-American relations as being complex and multifaceted. The United States and China are usually neither allies nor enemies; the U.S. government does not regard China as an adversary but as a competitor in some areas and a partner in others. The Qing Dynasty opened the first modern official diplomatic relations in late 19th century, After Xinhai revolution, newly formed Republic of China maintained diplomatic ties with the USA. During the Second World War, China was a close ally of the United States. At the founding of the communist-ruled People's Republic of China in 1949, th...

About 100 persons filled a lecture hall at DePaul University on Chicago’s north side on May 14, 2015 to hear Maximilien Sanchez Arvelaiz, Venezuela Ambassador designate. After Obama declared Venezuela a national security threat in March of 2015, the Venezuelan government recalled Arvelaiz, its Chargé d’Affaires in the U.S., for consultation.
Because of the current security threat label put on Venezuela, the U.S. government has not given diplomatic recognition to Arvelaiz, so for now his functioning title is “Ambassador designate.”
This move by the Obama administration continues the U.S. campaign to isolate and undermine the democratically-elected government of its current President Nicolas Maduro, who follows in the political footsteps of the late Hugo Chavez.
The situation is fraught with U.S. intrigues involving the country’s right wing, which seeks to bring down -- one way or another -- the anti-imperialist government in Caracas.
Ambassador designate Arvelaiz described his initial alarm at finding out about Obama’s declaration that Venezuela was a "threat". He also pointed to such developments as every country in Latin America and the Caribbean calling on Obama to revoke his executive order.
Arvelaiz's speaking style was low-keyed and conversational as he summarized recent Venezuelan history and Chavez's Bolivarian revolution, which he likened to a mixture of FDR's New Deal and the U.S. Civil Rights movement of the 1960's. It was a movement of "economic and social inclusion".
In the most recent, 2013 local elections, the result was a 55% vote for the Bolivarian revolution. But then "a tiny group of upper middle-class people from the opposition decided to go to the streets of Caracas...A coup was on its way in Venezuela during these days", Arvelaiz explained. "An attempt to overthrow a legitimate and democratic government."
"As I'm speaking you've got a couple of women that are in Washington, DC, and they've just received an award from the N.E.D. [the notorious National Endowment for Democracy.] And one of these ladies' husband is one of the leaders of this coup...I prefer President Maduro to be given an award from the World Food Organization than from the N.E.D."
The meeting was sponsored by DePaul University Department of History and Chicago Stands with Venezuela.

Washington DC, July 24, 2011 – The tragic terror attacks in Norway display a number of the telltale signs of a false flag provocation. It is reported that, although the world media are attempting to focus on Anders Behring Breivik as a lone assassin in the tradition of Lee Harvey Oswald, many eyewitnesses agree that a second shooter was active in the massacre at the Utøya summer youth camp outside of Oslo. It has also come to light that a special police unit had conducted drills or exercises near the opera house in downtown Oslo which involved the detonation of bombs during 2010– exactly what caused the bloodshed a few hundred meters away this Friday. Further research reveals that United States intelligence agencies had been conducting a large-scale program of recruiting retired Norwegian police officers with the alleged purpose of conducting surveillance inside the country. This program, known as SIMAS Surveillance Detection Units, provided a perfect vehicle for the penetration and subversion of the Norwegian police by NATO.
A motive for the attack is also present: as part of its attempt to mount an independent foreign policy, including the imminent diplomatic recognition of a Palestinian state as part of a general rapprochement with the Arab world, Norway was leading the smaller NATO states in dropping out of the imperialist aggressor coalition currently bombing Libya. Norway was scheduled to stop all bombing and other sorties against the Gaddafi forces as out of August 1 at the latest.
Finally, the CIA limited hangout operation known as Wikileaks has already furnished a prefabricated off-the-shelf case for incompetence and malfeasance against the current Norwegian government that is doing all these things – in the form of a series of real or doctored dispatches which document the alleged negligence of this government in dealing with the terrorist threat, all in the view of US State Department officials.

Yuri Bezmenov: "Unlike Myself, You'll Have Nowhere to Defect To!" (rec. 1984)

"You have, literally, several years to live on, unless the United States wake up. The time bomb is ticking; with every second, the disaster is coming closer and closer. Unlike myself, you will have nowhere to defect to, unless you want to live in Antarctica with penguins. This is it, this is the last country of freedom and possibility," - "Okay, so what do we do? What is your recommendation to the American people?" - "Well, the immediate thing that comes to my mind is of course: there must be a very strong effort to educate people in the spirit of real patriotism, number one; number two: to explain them the real danger of socialist/communist/whatever welfare state, big-brother government. If people will fail to grasp the impending danger of that development, nothing ever can help the United States. You may kiss good-bye to your freedom, including freedoms to homosexuals, to prison inmates, all these freedoms will vanish, will evaporate in five seconds, including your precious lives. The second thing: at the moment, at least part of the United States population is convinced that the danger is real. They have to force their government, and I'm not talking about sending letters, signing petitions, and all this beautiful, noble activity; I'm talking about FORCING the United States government to STOP aiding communism. Because, there is no other problem more burning and urgent than to stop the Soviet military-industrial complex from destroying whatever is left of the Free World. And it is very easy to do: No credits, no technology, no money, no political or diplomatic recognition, and of course no such idiocies as grain deals to the USSR. The Soviet people, 270 millions of Soviets, will be eternally thankful to you if you stop aiding a bunch of murderers, who sit now in the Kremlin and whom President Reagan respectfully calls 'government.' They do not govern anything, least of all such complexity as the Soviet economy. So, basically, two very simple, maybe too simplistic answers, or solutions, but, nevertheless, they are THE ONLY solutions: educate yourselves, understand what's going on around you: you are NOT living at a time of peace; you are in a state of war; and you have precious little time to save yourselves. You don't have much time, especially if we are talking about the young generation, there is not much time left for convulsions and sexual masturbations to the beautiful Disco music. Very soon, it will go 'click,' just overnight. If we are talking about capitalists or wealthy businessmen, I think they are selling the rope on which they will hang very soon. If they don't stop, if they cannot curb their insatiable desire for profit, and if they keep on trading with the monster of Soviet communism, they are going to hang, very soon. And they will PRAY to be killed, but unfortunately they will be sent to Alaska, probably, to manage the industry of slaves. It's simplistic. I know it sounds unpleasant. I know Americans don't like to listen to things which are unpleasant. But I have defected not to tell you the stories about such idiocies as microfilm-James-Bond-type espionage, this is garbage, you don't need any espionage any more. I have come to talk about SURVIVAL. It's a question of survival of this system. And you may ask me what is it then for me: survival, obviously, because unlike - as I said: I am now in your boat. If we sink together, we sink beautifully, together. There is no other place on this planet to defect to." (Yuri Bezmenov, 1939 - ?, prominent Soviet defector of 1970, in this conversation with G. Edward Griffin recorded in 1984)

Jefferson Finis Davis (June 3, 1807/1808 – December 6, 1889) was an American soldier and politician who was the President of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War (1861–1865). He took personal charge of the Confederate war plans but was unable to find a strategy to defeat the more populous and industrialized Union. His diplomatic efforts failed to gain recognition from any foreign country. At home he paid little attention to the collapsing Confederate economy; the government printed more and more paper money to cover the war's expenses, leading to runaway inflation and devaluation of the Confederate dollar.
Davis was born in Kentucky to a moderately prosperous farmer, and grew up on his brother's large cotton plantations in Mississippi and Louisiana. His brother Joseph secured his appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. After he graduated, Jefferson served six years as a lieutenant in the United States Army. He fought in the Mexican–American War (1846–1848), as the colonel of a volunteer regiment. He served as the U.S. Secretary of War from 1853 to 1857 under President Franklin Pierce, and as a Democratic U.S. senator from Mississippi. An operator of a large cotton plantation in Mississippi with over 100 slaves, he was well known for his support of slavery during his time in the Senate. Although Davis argued against secession, he believed that each state was sovereign and had an unquestionable right to secede from the Union.
Davis lost his first wife, Sarah Knox Taylor, to malaria after three months of marriage, and the disease almost killed him as well. He suffered from ill health for much of his life. He had six children with his second, younger wife, Varina Howell Davis, but only two survived him.
Many historians attribute the Confederacy's weaknesses to the leadership of President Davis.[3] His preoccupation with detail, reluctance to delegate responsibility, lack of popular appeal, feuds with powerful state governors, favoritism toward old friends, inability to get along with people who disagreed with him, neglect of civil matters in favor of military ones, and resistance to public opinion all worked against him.[4][5] Historians agree he was a much less effective war leader than his Union counterpart Abraham Lincoln.
After Davis was captured in 1865, he was accused of treason but was not tried and was released after two years. While not disgraced, Davis had been displaced in ex-Confederate affection after the war by his leading general, Robert E. Lee. Davis wrote a memoir entitled The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government, which he completed in 1881. By the late 1880s, he began to encourage reconciliation, telling Southerners to be loyal to the Union. Ex-Confederates came to appreciate his role as a Southern patriot and he became a hero of the Lost Cause in the New South.[6]
Some portions of his legacy were created not as memorials, but as contemporary recognition of his service at the time. Fort Davis National Historic Site began as a frontier military post in October 1854, in the mountains of western Texas. It was named after then-United States Secretary of War Jefferson Davis. That fort gave its name to the surrounding Davis Mountains range, and the town of Fort Davis. The surrounding area was designated Jeff Davis County in 1887, with the town of Fort Davis as the county seat.
Numerous memorials to Jefferson Davis were created. The largest is the 351-foot (107 m) concrete obelisk located at the Jefferson Davis State Historic Site in Fairview, Kentucky, marking his birthplace. Construction of the monument began in 1917 and finished in 1924 at a cost of about $200,000.[10]
In 1913, the United Daughters of the Confederacy conceived the Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway, a transcontinental highway to be built through the South.[163][164] Portions of the highway's route in Virginia, Alabama and other states still bear the name of Jefferson Davis.[163]
Davis appeared on several postage stamps issued by the Confederacy, including its first postage stamp (issued in 1861). In 1995, his portrait appeared on a United States postage stamp, part of a series of 20 stamps commemorating the 130th anniversary of end of the Civil War.[165][166] Davis was also celebrated on the 6-cent Stone Mountain Memorial Carving commemorative on September 19, 1970, at Stone Mountain, Georgia. The stamp portrayed Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson on horseback. It depicts a replica of the actual memorial, carved into the side of Stone Mountain at 400 feet (120 m) above ground level, the largest high relief sculpture in the world.

Last year, the United States flag was raised in Cuba for the first time in more than five decades, as diplomatic relations between the two states were unfrozen and the American embassy in Havana reopened.
This dramatic turnaround was preceded by a series of previously unthinkable shifts in policy enacted by the Cuban government, now led by Fidel Castro's brother, Raul.
The president has been opening up Cuba's economy since 2010, permitting Cubans to open private businesses and buy and sell property, while foreign companies can now invest in the island nation.
In three reports to be broadcast this month, we look at the reforms that appear to be bringing a return to capitalism ever closer and ask what these changes mean for Cuban citizens and the future of their socialist state.
In part one of Cuba Year Zero, we explore what it means for Cuba's socialism to make peace with the US government and ask if this decision reflects recognition by the state of a failure to empower its people.

This video contains some precious and unique film clips and photos of historical significance about the diplomatic and social activities conducted in Karachi by my father, who was appointed as the Agent General for Hyderabad State in Pakistan by H.E.H The Nizam of Hyderabad . My father presented his diplomatic credentials to the Quaid-e-Azam in April 1948. As Hyderabad State's representative, he was given the highest protocol similar to that extended to Ambassadors of major countries. However,the Agent General had the unique privilege of maintaining direct contact with the Quaid-e-Azam without going through the Foreign Ministry or the Prime Minister's office. This privilege was given in recognition of Pakistan's support to the cause of the Muslim Ruler of Hyderabad State, who was trying to negotiate terms with India for retaining the independence and neutral status of the State after partition. The activities covered in this video cover the period 1948- 1953.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nearly a century has passed since the Armenian Genocide, but the repercussions of the event still shape relations between Armenia and Turkey, as well as US policy in the region.
The most recent round of discussions on normalizing Armenian-Turkish relations broke down in 2010. The two nations have not established diplomatic relations, their border remains closed and Armenians still seek formal recognition of the genocide from the Turkish government. On the international stage, the US seeks a stronger ally in Armenia to help advance its policies in the region. Neighboring both Turkey and Iran, and with close ties to Russia, Armenia has great geostrategic significance for the US. Improved relations between Armenia and Turkey would also advance US interests, as it could lead to greater stability in the region as a whole.
Thomas de Waal, an expert on the politics and conflicts of the South Caucasus, will discuss how the Armenian Genocide has shaped contemporary politics both within the region and beyond.
Speaker Thomas de Waal is a Senior Associate for the Russia and Eurasia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Keith David Watenpaugh, Director, Human Rights Initiative, University of California, Davis, will moderate the discussion.

2012 AFSA Annual Award Ceremony
The American Foreign Service Association held the ceremony for the 2012 winners of AFSA's awards on Tuesday, June 26 in the Benjamin Franklin Diplomatic Reception Room at the Department of State.
Lifetime Contributions to American Diplomacy
Ambassador William Lacy Swing will receive the American Foreign Service Association's Award for Lifetime Contributions to American Diplomacy, in recognition of a distinguished Foreign Service career and a lifetime of public service. Past recipients of the award inlude U. Alexis Johnson, Frank Carlucci, George H.W. Bush, Lawrence Eagleburger, Cyrus Vance, David Newsom, Lee Hamilton, Thomas Pickering, George Shultz, Richard Parker, Richard Lugar, Morton Abramowitz, Joan Clark, Tom Boyatt, Sam Nunn, Bruce Laingen and Rozanne Ridgway.
Constructive Dissent
The winner of the 2012 William R. Rivkin Award for constructive dissent by a mid-level Foreign Service officer is Joshua Polacheck. Mr. Polacheck consistently and over some time made well-reasoned arguments against the U.S. security posture as it related to U.S. embassies, consulates and missions abroad. He submitted a highly cogent dissent channel cable, raising concerns that "consistently erring on the side of caution" when it comes to security choices sends "a message of distrust to the people of our host nations" and makes it difficult to roll back enhanced security measures should the need arise. Mr. Polacheck came to this conclusion after serving in Iraq, Pakistan and Lebanon. The judges were impressed with his willingness to raise a well-argued concern on an issue that often complicates U.S. policy and the carrying out of diplomatic and development work abroad.
Exemplary Performance
The Avis Bohlen Award is given to an eligible family member of a Foreign Service employee whose relations with the American and foreign communities at a Foreign Service post have done the most to advance American interests. This year's winner is Leila Gupta, Embassy Nairobi. Leila used her professional skills and personal resources to assist children/youth exposed to civil warfare in Rwanda and Sierra Leone; HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia and Chad; and natural disasters in Sri Lanka and Haiti. She is the wife of Jay Zimmerman (Kabul).
The Nelson B. Delavan Award is given to a Foreign Service Office Management Specialist who has made extraordinary contributions to effectiveness, professionalism and morale. This year's winner is James Velez, at the German-led Regional Command-North (RC-N) Headquarters platform, in Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan. Jim's outgoing nature and willingness to engage both U.S. and German military colleagues translated into an enormous increase in the level of support from both the U.S. and German offices responsible for addressing Chief of Mission (COM) life support issues.
The M. Juanita Guess Award is given to a Community Liaison Officer who has demonstrated outstanding dedication and energy assisting the families serving at an overseas post. This year's winner is Sara Hurst Butler, Embassy Port-Au-Prince. One of her noteworthy efforts is the CLO Yellow Pages. Sara also created a video showing Haiti before and after the 2010 earthquake.
In addition, Jeff Jacob of U.S. Embassy Kabul will receive this year's AFSA Post Representative of the Year Award for his contributions at post. The AFSA Awards and Plaques Committee chose Mr. Jacob for his effectiveness in communicating with AFSA and members at post, his willingness to assist colleagues, and his visibility as AFSA rep at a difficult post.
AFSA appreciates the efforts of all individuals who sent in nominations for these awards. We also thank all judges who served on panels this year. We place great importance on these awards, which serve to recognize the intellectual courage and outstanding achievements of Foreign Service personnel. We thank Director General Linda Thomas-Greenfield for co-sponsoring our annual awards ceremony, which is open to any employee wishing to attend.
The July/August Foreign Service Journal and AFSA News will carry more details on the achievements of this year's award winners, and full coverage of the June 26 awards ceremony will appears in the September issue.

TEXT OF SPEECH:
Good evening everyone and thank you for being with us for this special event. Liberland celebrates its first half year of existence and there are many reasons to celebrate. We still belong to nations with highest interest in citizenship in the whole world. Clearly the ideas we offer are appealing to almost 400,000 people who registered on the website. As of today, 71,000 are fully eligible for citizenship and hundreds of potential citizens apply every day. Today I can proudly announce that we are beginning to accept the first regular citizens. Anybody who is eligible can, when they collect enough merits, get the Liberlandian citizenship.
We are more than grateful to Serbia and Croatia for their generous support in our nation-building effort. We thank again Serbia for stating that Liberland is not formed on Serbian territory and we highly value the way Croatia protects Croatia - Liberland borders. We are ready to compensate for that in the future. We hope to be able soon to start diplomatic relations with Croatia to open up official borders.
Liberland already has a draft of its constitution and set of laws. Their clear goal is to arrive at the minimum amount of internal regulation necessary for a workable society. We have limited the state to its most basic role, to take care of security, justice and diplomacy. But we are also realistic. Liberland will play an active role in complying with international law.
It has been six months since we founded Liberland and we have already set up fully functional representation offices in more than 40 countries. There are over 5000 people with diplomatic connections in our database. We keep utilizing these connections. In the following months, I will be speaking at conferences in United Kingdom, Dubai, Ireland, Poland, Serbia and Mexico. We have opened up more than 10 informal talks with heads of states around the world to begin the recognition process of Liberland.
I have suggested to our preparatory commission a new set of ministers that will sit in the preparatory government. I will also introduce some of them to you publicly today. I have also decided to nominate two vice presidents whose names I will reveal in the following days.
We are about to embark upon a great crusade towards greater freedom on the planet. The eyes of the world are upon us. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with us. I am confident that with your help, man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.

Chinese--U.S. relations (or Sino-American relations) refers to international relations between the United States of America (U.S.A.) and the People's Republic of China (P.R.C.) Most analysts characterize present Chinese-American relations as being complex and multifaceted. The United States and China are usually neither allies nor enemies; the U.S. government does not regard China as an adversary but as a competitor in some areas and a partner in others. The Qing Dynasty opened the first modern official diplomatic relations in late 19th century, After Xinhai revolution, newly formed Republic of China maintained diplomatic ties with the USA. During the Second World War, China was a close ally of the United States. At the founding of the communist-ruled People's Republic of China in 1949, the USA did not immediately recognize the newly established government of China. Until January 1979, the United States recognized the Republic of China on Taiwan as the legitimate government of China, and did not maintain diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China on the mainland. In the midst of the Cold War, the Sino-Soviet split provided an opening for the US to establish ties with mainland China and use it as a counter to the Soviet Union and its influence. It was after January 1979 that the USA government switched recognition from Taipei to Beijing, as well as the diplomatic relations.
As of 2011, the United States has the world's largest economy and China the second largest. China has the world's largest population and the United States has the third largest after India. The two countries are the two largest consumers of motor vehicles and oil, and the two greatest emitters of greenhouse gases.
Relations between China and the United States have been generally stable with some periods of tension, most notably after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, which removed a common enemy and ushered in a world characterized by American dominance. There are also concerns relating to human rights in the People's Republic of China and the political status of Taiwan. There are constant tides and strides in the Sino-U.S. relations, and diplomatic efforts were taken to maintain the positive direction in this international relationship, such as James R. Lilley around 1990s.
While there are some tensions in American-Chinese relations, there are also many stabilizing factors. The PRC and the United States are major trade partners and have common interests in the prevention and suppression of terrorism and nuclear proliferation. The U.S.-China trade relationship is the second largest in the world.
China is also the largest foreign creditor for the United States. China's challenges and difficulties are mainly internal, and there is a desire to maintain stable relations with the United States. The American-Chinese relationship has been described by top leaders and academics as the world's most important bilateral relationship of the 21st century. As the countries become more and more intertwined, greater numbers of Chinese and Americans have experience visiting, studying, working, and living in the others' country. Still, the role played by the media in shaping views remains large. In recent years, public opinion polling and other scholarship has sharpened our understanding of how images and attitudes in the two countries are formed and how those influence policies.
In 2012, the PRC criticized Obama's new defense strategy, which was widely viewed as aiming to isolate China in the East Asian region, for assuming a provocative and threatening posture in the Pacific and escalating America's containment strategy.[76] Obama is looking to increase US military influence in the area with a rotating presence of forces in friendly countries.[77]
In March 2012 China suddenly began cutting back its purchases of oil from Iran, along with some signs on sensitive security issues like Syria and North Korea, showed some coordination with the Obama administration.
A PLA-affiliated hacking group based outside Shanghai has been responsible for more than 100 attacks on United States government departments, American companies, and journalist website, according to an American computer security firm, Mandiant. A national intelligence estimate by multiple American intelligence agencies concur with the report. A White House official said that the United States will be "more-aggressive" in responding to cyberwarfare amd cyberespionage conducted by the Chinese government. Cyberespionage originating from China has also been reported by companies in France and Germany. China responded by saying that the accusations of hacking are flawed and unreliable, and accused the United States of being the origin of attacks against Chinese military websites.
