A policy factor like the presence of a strongly
institutionalized regime of policy objectives is found to be conducive for use, but not necessarily influence, in several cases. In fact, many different factors contributed to the use or non-use of indicators in these studies, and often it was more a cluster of factors than individual aspects which was decisive for their use or non-use.

Jews have never adopted more than the language of the foreign nations in whose midst they live.
Afghanistan in 1982-Afghanistan's recent history is a story of war and civil unrest. The Soviet Union invaded in 1979, but was forced to withdraw 10 years later by anti-Communist mujahidin forces.

And, at that time, mind you, there were 80 to 90 million Germans and there were only 460,000 Jews . . . less than one half of one percent of Germany were Jews. And yet, they controlled all of the press, they controlled most of the economy, because they had come in and with cheap money -- you know the way the Mark was devalued -- they bought up practically everything.

Catholic Church is a political organization to establish “supremacy of Pope over all persons”-The papal monarchy was neither designed nor calculated to foster the growth of either truth, reason or virtue. The policy and measures which it adopted were never intended to correct vice, but to make it administer to the importance of its power, and the wealth of its coffers. Its design has always been to reign supreme; and in conformity with a policy dictated by this design, it has destroyed every virtue that obtruded an obstacle to the accomplishment of its purposes, and protected every vice that appeared to favor their success.

China’s socialist democracy is a whole-process, U.S democracy is Coca-Cola, Taliban can form govt with moderate policies- China-What is democracy? Who gets to define it? How to judge whether a country is democratic? These rights should not be monopolized by the US and its few allies.

In this sense, Chinese democracy is people's democracy while the US' is money democracy; the Chinese people enjoy substantial democracy while Americans have democracy only in form; China has a whole-process democracy while the US has voting democracy that comes every four years.

You will see how it will turn out. Let them stay—why not? Let them stay. Let them swagger around. If they want to take East Pakistan, let them stay as an army of occupation.

Nation and Race-Adolf Hitler-The consequence of this racial purity, universally valid in Nature, is not only the sharp outward delimitation of the various races, but their uniform character in themselves. The fox is always a fox, the goose a goose, the tiger a tiger, etc., and the difference can lie at most in the varying measure of force, strength, intelligence, dexterity, endurance, etc., of the individual specimens. But you will never find a fox who in his inner attitude might, for example, show humanitarian tendencies toward geese, as similarly there is no cat with a friendly inclination toward mice.

Papal political machinery and interest in England by John Alberger-1871-The design of ruling nations was clearly indicated by the principles upon which the monastic orders were founded. Regarding supremacy to the pope as the main substance of Christianity, and obedience to his will as necessary to salvation, their doctrines harmonized with his claim to supreme temporal and spiritual power; and their organization, based strictly on monarchial principles, skilfully adapted to secure unity and concentration of action, formed, together with the military knights, a political machinery in the advancement of the papal interests, which was capable of intimidating the boldest antagonist, and of shaking the power of the strongest government.
Papal political machinery and interest in United States by John Alberger-1871-America is the promised land of the Jesuists. To obtain the ascendency they have no need of Swiss guards, or the assistance of the holy alliance, but a majority of votes, which can easily be obtained by the importation of Catholic voters from Ireland, Austria, and Bavaria.... I am not a politician, but knowing the active spirit of Jesuitism, and the indifference of the generality of Protestants, I have no doubt that in ten years the Jesuists will have a mighty influence over the ballot box, and in twenty will direct it according to pleasure. Now they fawn, in ten years they will menace, in twenty command

Speech by Prime Minister Liz Truss At 77th Session of UN General Assembly (21/09/2022)-They are fundamentally rigid and unable to adapt. Any short-term gains are eroded in the long term because these societies stifle the aspiration and creativity which are vital to long-term growth. A country where Artificial Intelligence acts as judge and jury, where there are no human rights and no fundamental freedoms, is not the kind of place anyone truly wants to live.

Statement by U.S President Joseph Biden on the Situation in Burma(Myanmar)-1/2/2021-The military’s seizure of power in Burma, the detention of Aung San Suu Kyi and other civilian officials, and the declaration of a national state of emergency are a direct assault on the country’s transition to democracy and the rule of law. In a democracy, force should never seek to overrule the will of the people or attempt to erase the outcome of a credible election. For almost a decade, the people of Burma have been steadily working to establish elections, civilian governance, and the peaceful transfer of power. That progress should be respected.

THE PERIPLUS OF THE ERYTHRAEAN SEA- 60 CE-Erythraean Sea was the term applied by Greek and Roman geographers to the Indian Ocean, including its adjuncts, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. Erythra means Red, so that the modern name perpetuates the ancient; but we are assured by Agatharchides that it means, not Red Sea, but Sea of King Erythras, following a Persian legend.
The role of the constitutional court of Russian-federation in annexation of Crimea-2014-The doctrine of obligatory non-recognition provides that states are under an obligation not to recognise, through
individual or collective acts, the purported statehood of an effective territorial entity created in violation of one or more
fundamental norms of international law. This rationale underlies the Stimson Doctrine that was used as a justification for
states not to recognise the annexation of the Baltic States by the Soviet Union. This rationale is also expressed in the
International Law Commission’s Article 41 of the Draft Articles on State Responsibility. The obligation is a norm of
customary international law and aims at preventing that a violation of international law becomes validated by means of
recognition. It contains a “minimum resistance” and “a continuous challenge to a legal wrong”. The obligation arises
where a territorial entity has been created in violation of an erga omnes norm, especially by violating the prohibition of
the use of force, by violating the right to self-determination, or by violating the prohibition of systematic racial
discrimination.

U.S strategy towards sub-saharan Africa-08/08/2022-This strategy represents a new approach, emphasizing and elevating the issues that will further embed Africa’s position in shaping our hared future. It resolves to press for the necessary resources and prize innovation in our efforts to trengthen vital partnerships. The United States will both address immediate crises and threats, and seek to connect short-term efforts with the longer-term imperative of bolstering Africa’s capabilities to solve global problems. The strategy’s strength lies in its determination to graduate from policies that inadvertently treat sub-
Saharan Africa as a world apart and have struggled to keep pace with the profound transformations across the continent and the world.
