      <description><![CDATA[[b]Symposium on Cultural Diplomacy in the African Union
“African Perspectives: An African Vision for Positive Developments in Africa” 
(Berlin; June 26th – 28th, 2013)
www.au-culturaldiplomacy-conference.org[/b]
	
This unprecedented gathering will seek to highlight Africa´s self-attained achievements with regards to its standing in the international community as well as it´s increasing emancipation from the often assumed dependency on the Western world. The focus will be on the role and successes of the African Union as an intergovernmental regional organization seeking to combat political, social and economic inequalities. Past achievements will be considered while simultaneously accenting the future challenges the AU faces.

[b]Symposium Agenda[/b]
Multidimensional in focus, the conference will revolve around three main themes. Beginning with “the rise of corporate Africa”, the positive impact of enterprise on development throughout the continent will be accented. The following theme, “African solutions for African challenges (human development)” will be dedicated to the overlapping issues of education, the eradication of poverty and the empowerment of women. The final topic “community development through arts, culture and sports” will exemplify the power exerted by cultural diplomacy on the furthering of community development.

It will be demonstrated that the application of cultural diplomacy is pervasive within the African Union´s activities, as it has charged itself with the task of uniting highly differentiated cultures within Africa with the aim of achieving “greater unity and solidarity between the African countries and the peoples of Africa”.

Cultural Diplomacy will be shown to support and solidify such efforts. 

[b]Symposium Speakers[/b]
Speakers during the conference will include leading figures and experts from civil society, international politics, academia, diplomacy, civil society and the private sector. These speakers will include a number of individuals from the ICD Advisory Board.

[b]Symposium Participants[/b]
The conference is open to applications from governmental and diplomatic officials, civil society practitioners, young professionals, students and scholars, private sector representatives, journalists, and other interested stakeholders from across the world.

[b]Symposium Locations[/b]
Based in Berlin, the conference will be hosted at a number of important political, historic, and cultural locations across the city.

[b]Certificate of Attendance[/b]
All Symposium participants will be awarded an official Certificate of Attendance upon completion of the program, which will provide details of the speakers who took part in the event, and list the topics which were discussed. Each certificate will be signed by members of the ICD Advisory Board.

      <description><![CDATA[Hello Uinvestors and other Readers,

 I would like firstly to introduce myself. 
 My name is Lukas Radziak, I am in very difficult financial situation because of huge unemployment in my country - I am also unemployed unfortunately since 2 years. I have a wife who is working for whole family - we have two children (a son and a daughter - love them soo much). I feel really bad that I cannot do anything to help her. 

 I was looking for some job in the Internet but as a result I found nothing concrete. Until today! I have just found the topic about UINVEST – it seems to be a great possibility for us! Only good opinions about the project which holds me in trust about the reality of the UINVEST! 
 The only problem is that we have no money saved so we cannot afford to invest anything which is very sad… 
 As a godsend, UINVEST is just organizing the competition for a real, true story, which is again an opportunity for us to get one share of absolutely amazing GUN PROJECT. It seems to be an “Amercian Dream” but if we would win, our life will change drastically! 

 I do not want to make you vote for this entry. It would be unfair. 
 If you feel that you should vote, then vote. Thank you for reading. 


 Good luck in investing in UINVEST &amp; all the best!
 Radziak

 I joined Uinvest in early 2011 and started investing with small amount with curiosity &amp; carefully.
 I studied &amp; follow up with Uinvest progress via website to know more about the company updates &amp; growth.
 After 7 months invested, I already making a profit with Uinvest &amp; the company becoming more known.
 The members joined Uinvest increased tremendously &amp; we can see at chatting area.
 Uinvest showed in conducting their business very innovative, efficient, transparent, honesty.
 All uinvestors account security also the main priority that take care by Uinvest. 
 I become more confident &amp; do not want to left behind with others uinvestors.
 At the end of 2012/early 2013 , I made another investment from my pocket money &amp; received regular monthly dividends.
 I really recommend to every body to start online investing with Uinvest.
 Uinvest very well organised crowdfunding platform that can be trusted &amp; benefitted to all uinvestors.
 I believed, Uinvest will growth bigger, strong &amp; stable in future.

I had join many hyip, gold investment , forex investment and 2% daily profit high yield investment but all of them are totally scam and I had loss so much money.
 One day in March 2011, I always browse the internet to find a good business opportunity or investment opportunity and I saw a Uinvest banner in internet and tried to register the account at Uinvest. After I studied and reviewed Uinvest system, I had decided and take risk to purchase share of shopping mall with price 125 usd and I got monthly earnings 27 usd from that day until now (unlimited investment period). 
 On July 2011, I received the Investment certificate by post from Uinvest Ukrain to my address in Malaysia. I am very shocked when I received the certificate with official letter from Mr Danilenko (Director of Uinvest Ukrain) and I believed in mind that Uinvest is a great company in the future. The words in the letter from Uinvest make me very happy, very interesting and very confidence with Uinvest are below :-

 “ Dear Investor, Let me express appreciation to you for becoming one of our investors. Our company works diligently and puts heart and soul into every project. We understand that you entrust us, and this make our activities more pleasant, and our employees more responsible. There is no doubt, you have taken a correct decision, and we will do our best to justify your trust, Yours faithfully- Director of Uinvest ”. 
 After that I promote Uinvest to my family members and friends by online and offline . Many of them also join uinvest under my referral link and I got the referral commission from Uinvest. I have referral in Malaysia, Singapore, Nigeria, Canada, Indonesia, India, Iran , Johor, USA and other country.
 From my experience in Uinvest, I found Uinvest is a real investment in real business project . The share we purchase is the share of real business and real project. Uinvest keep improving the system and the web. The key point which make me very confidence with Uinvest are as below :-

 1- Uinvest fully registered in Ukrain since 2007 
 2- Having registered office in Kiev Ukrain and California USA.
 3- Very secure web https and having IP checking security system and Internal Pin code for highest security of investor account. Uinvest having the level of banking online security system
 4- Uinvest have SMS security for account protection 
 5- Uinvest always send fresh weekly newsletter to Uinvestor about latest improvement , new project and economic news.
 6- Uinvest introduced debit card for easy withdrawal for uinvestor through global ATM machine around the world.
 7- Having the real admin and management staff.
 8- Having admin chat or online support 24 hours online showed that Uinvest is a very serious business. There is no investment platform or webs which have online admin chat 24 hours like Uinvest.
 9- Uinvest share followed the Warren Bufett principle and rule which every share of uinvest project is principal protected mean here Uinvest guaranteed the initial value of your share in uinvest share or project.
 10- Uinvest share followed the Warren Bufett guideline which “you must know the business that you want involve”. This guideline was handle by Uinvest because they have the team of analyst to review every project before being listed in Uinvest share market exchange system for investors to purchase.
 11- Uinvest had joined Beverly Hill Chamber of Commerce in California USA
 12- I believe that Uinvest is the first share market exchange in the world with monthly earnings from share of real business. There is no other company like Uinvest at this moment in the world.
 13- Uinvest having so many payment option for funding and withdrawal from account include local bank transfer through Financial Partner. Uinvest is the first program which have so many payment system for deposit / withdrawal.
 14- Uinvest processed the withdrawal very fast. 
 15- The conference of Uinvest 29 April 2013 in California USA proof that Uinvest is a serious company
 16- Uinvest have a very good support ticket system with very fast reply.
 17- Uinvest management team have a very good response to the change payment system requirement and had provide so many payment option for deposit and withdrawal and make it easy and fast for global uinvestors.
 18- Uinvest was found by Ukrainian and many share of project was in Ukrain and Russia. I am confidence and believed that Ukrainian and Russian people were very genius and clever people. We can saw in history that Yuri Gagarin from Russia was the first man on the Earth that going to space to travel in space around the Earth. So their genius was continued by creating Uinvest for global people to invest and this is the first share global market exchange with monthly earnings. 
 19- Uinvest is the great crowdfunding program for all
 20- Uinvest Announces Partnership with WestPark Capital Inc on 27 March 2013, the USA full service investment banking and securities brokerage firm.There is no global investment program which I involved having partnership with Investment Banking from USA. This is a great effort for Uinvest to become a very trusted name and famous in the world.


 One of the interesting chating with Uinvest Admin is when I ask “ How long Uinvest will stay for business online ? The Uinvest Admin said “ Uinvest will stay in business forever until Armageddon ” .

 I am very confidence that Uinvest will stay forever and will become a global phenomena in the near future. After conference in USA, I am fully believe UINVEST will be more success and many more shareholder will join uinvest to buy more new share of real business. 

 Uinvest will exploded globally in year 2013 .

 Thank you very much .

      <description><![CDATA[Is Uinvest a financial pyramid? Is UInvest another MMM? Is it another company of Mavrodi? I tried to figure out how Uinvest operates. It is not very clear how monthly earning are generated. When we buy shares on the stock market we earn money on the deals (buying\selling) but not monthly earnings. It looks like MMM which attracted money from private investors, promising annual returns of up to one thousand percent. The shares were not quoted on any stock exchange and the company itself determined the share price. Uinvest claims that they check every company themselves and take the risks. How do they determine share price? How do they pay earnings? What if they use investors just like MMM? What if Uinvest will fail just like other pyramids?

Why is UInvest blocked in Ukraine? Recently I went on a business trip to Ukraine. I live in Germany but often visit Ukraine. I wanted to check my account few times but wasn’t able to open UInvest web-site there. I tried to open the web –site from many locations (hotel room, restaurants, etc).What does this mean? It looks like the web- site is blocked for Ukraine. Why is that? It looks very strange. There are many projects in Ukraine for investment. The company is located in Ukraine. So are Ukrainians able to invest in projects on UInvest? I am sure there are many people willing to earn money in such a way instead of putting it on a deposit into the bank. I plan to visit Ukraine many times and want to have an excess to my account. What should I do?

      <description><![CDATA[Is the electronic certificate valid? Or in case of business bankruptcy I just can keep it as a memento that would remind on my stupidity? There are shares that you are able to purchase online and electronic certificate for those shares would be issued. Is that certificate valid? Does it have some legal effect? If something goes wrong will I be able to get my money back? Will I be able to prove that I am right in court with that certificate? And recently text body of the electronic certificates has been changed. Why have you changed it? Should I start to worry? I bought few shares recently and received a certificate. And now I am not sure what to do with it. What if I won’t be able to get my money back?

Why should I trust my money to the company which is situated in Ukraine – one of the most financially unstable countries in the world? I have heard about Uinvest 6 months ago. It looks very easy to invest money and earn profit at first. However after reading the description of the company and finding out that it is based in Ukraine I am not eager to make investments. I don’t know that much about Ukraine but I have read about unstable political and economic situation of the country. How can I trust the company in case when I don’t know if I can trust the country? Maybe it’s just my opinion about Post-Soviet countries. I have read success stories on the web site and I really want to believe that all of them are true and I can easily proceed with making an investment. The web site and everything looks very professional but the fact about company’s origin makes me nervous. I guess I will wait with buying even one share.

Is UInvest a SCAM? There are some rumors that that there is no such company as Uinvest in the real world. I am very afraid that it is some kind of fraud. It is very hard to understand that the company operates on legal bases, has real office and employees when it is focused on investment online. How can I find out that it is not one person who created the web site and makes money by cheating? I read success stories but there is a chance that it could have been written by one person. All I need is a confirmation that it’s real operating business and there are no risk losing money by a fraud. I don’t want to accuse anybody I just want my money to be safe.

      <description><![CDATA[Why your service fee is so HIGH? Your company service fee is 10% of our income and you insist that it is competitive and fair. I don’t agree. I think your fee is unreasonably high. I don’t understand what you charge money for. The company operates mostly online so it has to have less operating costs. Other companies have service fee of about 7%. I am not willing to pay 10% from my earnings. Please explain why your services are more expansive. I would appreciate some details.


How high monthly earnings are generated? Hi! I am trying to understand how your company is able to provide so high monthly earnings? I read that investors are provided with monthly summary of earnings and other relevant information. 
I am not an investor how can I find out about profitability of projects and why high profit is generated? It seems very unrealistic. Could your team of business professionals explain to me how high earnings are achieved?

Who teaches courses at GUN Academy? How Gun Academy can provide the knowledge, if there is no professional among teachers? Hello! I am willing to find out more about GUN Academy since it is not very clear to me if the courses are worth trying. I wanted to start learning with Simplified Investment Course and looked for some information about teachers. I noticed that there is no such information on the web-site. Is the course taught by professionals? Do they have some professional education and practical background? Do they have teaching experience to make the process of learning easy and interesting? It is very important for me to find out more about the teacher in order to make a decision on taking the course. I want to learn from an experienced professional who is successful not only as a teacher but also as an investor.

      <description><![CDATA[On Earning: Never depend on single income. Make investment to create a second source.
 On Taking Risk: Never test the depth of river with both the feet.
 On Investment: Do not put all your eggs in one basket.
 (Quotes from Warren Buffet, a successful American investor)

 Passive income is a real deal through the act of investing, but many fear the idea as there have been many cases of scam/ fraud. As a result, people become more skeptical towards investment with high return. 

 Personally, I would categorized investment into 3 categories. First is 100% safe investment backed up by governments with low return such ASB with an average of not more than 9% dividend per year (8.9% for 2012). Second is low risk investment with an average return of 10% to 15% dividend per month. Third is high risk investment with an average return of 5% to 40% dividend per day which is commonly known as high yield investment program (HYIP). 

 I did not choose the first category because the dividend is just too low. In a way, the money only grows to protect you from paper money inflation. For example, if the price of sugar at the moment is RM2.40. Next year it could go up to RM2.70. Cost of living is higher and a small bonus you get from the dividend will only help you get through inflation and just barely let you taste your own profit for yourselves. 

 The third category of investment is one that people should stay away from because trust me, you will definitely lose your money. Many HYIP websites are created every day to scam money from people. Extremely high return like this also means high risk. With vague business models, simple website design with no SSL security and insurance, these hyips are meant to steal your money.

 Now the second category of investment is what I have been putting my money into. A company that have been operating from 2007 offline and 2010 online, with sophisticated website design, tight security as tight as maybank2u with web encryption, SSL security, website insured for USD 250,000, paying dividends on clock, promotes the company openly in an EXPO held in China together with other prestigious companies and banks like Standard Chartered and a lot more of other features that I am lazy to list here. Most importantly, I have been investing here for nearly 6 months and my confidence grows every time the company itself develops and improves to become a credible and trusted crowdfunding company. Hence, to earn money via investment safely with minimal risk and at the same time being able to enjoy the profits that not only protects us from inflation, but also make our dream to live a luxurious life a possible achievement, UINVEST is the answer..

As a beginner in online business, first, I was not interested in uinvest. Moreover, previously I often let down with a variety of online businesses that turned out to be just a money game.

 One day I was introduced by my friend about uinvest doing crowdfunding mechanism. I learned how to invest here, it turns out everything is very easy. a lot of help available in uinvest. Help guides, videos, forums and even available to chat directly interact with the admin who with friendly and professional staff answered all my questions.

 With the fact that there was, I was more determined and confident to invest in uinvest. and my decision was not wrong, I get a monthly devident and I also get a profit from buying and selling stocks. Thank you very much uinvest. Uinvest is too good to be true, but believe me this is true.

      <description><![CDATA[I'm a student from Romania at Politehnica University of Bucharest. I have to pay scholar taxes, about 600$ per semester this is a huge amount for me also i need to pay for every exam that i pass about $35-$45 a lot for a usual romania family. When i discover Uinvest i was very happy thinking that this crowd funding platform can help me very much in studies. I start with 150$ because this was the amount of my pocket, i buy 2 shares and get a total 28$ per month . I say &quot;pretty good&quot; and i start to tell the people about Uinvest. It was a hard work to make people have trust in this company but after several weeks i start having referrals that invest till today more then 40000$ it's a good score for my work. Now i'm an GUN Agent and i earn per month 600$ this is very good for me.I will can graduate my university and Uinvest will be very happy to know that they are made the dream and passion of a student to become true, to become an Engineer in Computer Science.
 I‘m pretty sure this isn‘t the most precious life story. But the fact that you managed to make a man‘s dream coming true is priceless.

Hi, I'm Peter from Hungary, my nickname is nincsvalsag. Nincs Válság is mean in Hungarian language: NO RECESSION. I started making money on the internet when the financial recession has begun (5 years ago). My friend introduced UInvest to me in the last month of 2010. So I created my account more than two years ago, firstly I &quot;tested the waters&quot; with small amount, my first share was one Recording Company share for $28 and when I received my first divident ($3 - 10% = $2,70) I invested more and more in this platform. I invested a few thousands of dollar during the first year , then I multiplied this amount. At my 2nd &quot;anniversary&quot; I got the Premium Investor (VIP) status, on this site, so I'm enjoying special privilegs now, and I'm very happy to be a member of this great project!

Since before retiring, approximately 3 years before, I prepare what would I do to add the money to my retirement income. As long as that time I am familiar with Forex Trading, Futures Index Trading &amp; HYIP. But all of that could not give me the definite income, in fact I have always suffered losses. In Oktober 2012 I found Uinvest. At that time I have not been able to invest because I have not the money in cash. Finally in mid-January 2013 I bought 7 shares in Uinvest with a total price $ 4.460 and now every month I receive a dividend of $ 632 from Uinvest. Thank you Uinvest.
Now I know why Uinvest trustworthy, why uinvest for Investors, Uraise =&gt; for the projects who needed the fresh funds.

      <description><![CDATA[“African Perspectives: An African Vision for Positive Developments in Africa” 
The Conference is Co-organized and Co-hosted by Brand South Africa and the ICD
(Pretoria, April 7th – 11th, 2013)
www.au-culturaldiplomacy-conference.org 

This unprecedented gathering within the African continent will seek to highlight Africa´s self-attained achievements with regards to its standing in the international community, as well as its increasing emancipation from the often assumed dependency on the Western world. The focus will be on the role and successes of the African Union as an intergovernmental regional organization seeking to combat political, social, and economic inequalities.  Past achievements will be considered while simultaneously accenting the future challenges the AU faces. 

It will be demonstrated that the application of Cultural Diplomacy is pervasive within the African Union´s activities, as it has charged itself with the task of uniting highly differentiated cultures within Africa with the aim of achieving ´greater unity and solidarity between the African countries and the people of Africa. Cultural Diplomacy will be shown to support and solidify such efforts. 

Conference Location
Based in Pretoria, South Africa, the conference will be hosted at the African Union Parliament and at a number of important political, historic, and cultural locations across the city.

Conference Speakers 
Speakers during the Conference will include head of state and ministers, leading figures and experts from international politics, economics, academia, diplomacy, civil society, and the private sector.

      <description><![CDATA[“Human Rights Protection &amp; International Law: The Multifaceted Dilemma of Restraining and Promoting International Interventions”
Co-hosted by the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy &amp; Ministry of Interior of Iceland
(Reykjavik, Iceland; April 10th – 13th, 2013)
www.reykjavikcongress.org



The international community acknowledges the increasing and persistent cases of mass atrocities and crimes against humanity occurring on a vast scale. 

Understanding the complexity in bringing these crimes to an end, the Reykjavík Congress on Human Rights aims to argue and debate the notion of the responsibility to protect from a human rights perspective, taking into account the divergent dimensions in restraining or promoting international intervention.

Through the discussions and exchange of this conference, we aim to consider the current most vehement cases of human rights violations, and further comprehend the varied issues and approaches to these mass atrocities and crimes against humanity from a theoretical perspective, analyzing the complex layers and structures, and taking into account the ethical dilemma surrounding the responsibility to protect and international intervention.

The 2013 Congress will create and publish a discussion document that will be presented to the international community on how to overcome the dilemma of restraining and promoting all forms of International Interventions based on coordinated global coalition efforts between governments, NGOs, and International Institutions.

The Congress will focus in particular on the following Issues:

Humanitarian Crisis - This section of the conference will serve as an introduction to current and most pressing cases of crimes against humanity, considering the role of race and ethnicity throughout. The examples covered will include a focus on escalated mass atrocities during wartime such as in contemporary Mali, the ongoing and systematic violence in Darfur, an analysis of gender based violence as a form of genocide and finally the international focal point for crimes against humanity such as in Syria.

The UN Genocide Convention &amp; R2P - Following the in-depth discourse on current cases of human rights crisis areas, this section of the conference will focus on the ethical dilemma of foreign interventions. The conference aims to achieve an outline of innovative solutions for how to overcome the dilemma of foreign intervention based on coordinated global coalition efforts between governments, NGOs and International Institutions.

Conference Speakers 
Speakers during the Conference will include leading figures and experts from international politics, economics, academia, diplomacy, civil society, and the private sector. The speakers will also include a number of individuals from the ICD Advisory Board. 

Conference Participants
Participation in The Reykjavík Congress on Human Rights is open to governmental &amp; diplomatic officials, academics &amp; scholars, human rights activists, journalists, artists, civil society practitioners, private sector representatives, young professionals, and students, as well as other interested individuals from across the world
