Digest of United States Practice in International Law 2010
Digest of United States Practice in International Law 2010
Population
Salahi, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, ...
The 2010 Digest provides a historical record of developments that took place during calendar year 2010, illustrating how the United States put our strategic vision of international law into practice. That concept rests on the principle that obeying international law promotes U.S. foreign policy interests and strengthens our international leadership. The United States' active participation in international tribunals and other international bodies formed an important part of our practice in 2010. Over the year, the United States continued to engage with the International Criminal Court while maintaining its active support for other international tribunals. The United States' active engagement with the Court and the parties to the Rome Statute has enabled us to help shape the direction of the Court to ensure that it fulfills its important mandate to bring to justice the perpetrators of mass atrocities. In the area of the law of armed conflict, the United States continued to place priority on ensuring that its detention operations, detainee prosecutions, and operations involving the use of force-including those in the armed conflict with al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and associated forces-are consistent with all applicable law, including international law. In January 2010, an interagency task force established by President Obama completed a comprehensive review of the status of all of the individuals detained at Guantanamo Bay when President Obama assumed office and made consensus determinations about the disposition of each detainee's case consistent with national security, the interests of justice, and the U.S. longstanding policy not to transfer any individual to a country where it is more likely than not he would be tortured. In habeas litigation brought by Guantanamo detainees in U.S. federal court, the United States continued to assert the 2001 statutory Authorization for Use of Military Force ("AUMF") as the basis for the President's detention authority and to make clear that the laws of war would inform the executive branch's interpretation of the AUMF. With respect to detention operations in Afghanistan, the United States continued its rigorous implementation of detainee review procedures established in 2009. Negotiating, joining, and implementing treaties remained another important aspect of U.S. efforts to promote international law in 2010. The Senate provided its advice and consent to ratification of the New START Treaty, which entered into force earlier this year and represented a landmark contribution to the global arms control and nonproliferation regime. In the family law area, the Senate provided its advice and consent to ratification of the Hague Convention on International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance, and the United States signed the Convention on Jurisdiction, Applicable Law, Recognition, Enforcement and Co-operation in Respect of Parental Responsibility and Measures for the Protection of Children. The Senate also provided its advice and consent to ratification of two treaties concerning defense trade cooperation with Australia and the United Kingdom. The United States also signed many treaties and agreements, including two new treaties relating to aviation security, the 2010 Beijing Convention on the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Relating to International Civil Aviation and the 2010 Beijing Protocol Supplementary to the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft, and air transport agreements with the European Union and its Member States and with Japan. U.S. treaty implementation efforts spanned numerous areas, including human rights and consular relations. In December 2010, the United States played a key role in negotiating UN Security Council Resolution 1966, which established an institution known as the residual mechanism to handle the essential functions remaining when the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda conclude their work, including the prosecution of fugitives indicted by the tribunals who remain at large after the two tribunals cease functioning. The Supreme Court issued several noteworthy decisions in 2010 on issues arising in our increasingly globalized world. In Abbott v. Abbott , the Court held that "rights of custody" under the Hague Convention on International Child Abduction include a ne exeat right, which is a parent's right to consent before the other parent removes a child from a country. In the area of foreign sovereign and official immunity, the Court held in Samantar v. Yousuf that the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act does not govern immunity for foreign officials, making clear that the immunity of individual foreign officials should be determined under the common law instead, and the important role of the executive branch in such determinations.

Wholesale, Remediation, Rental, North American, ...
The North American Product Classification System (NAPCS) is a joint multi-phase initiative to develop a comprehensive demand-oriented product classification developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Work to date has focused on the products produced by service industries in 12 NAICS sectors 48-49 through 81. With that work provisionally complete, this web page provides an overview of and progress report on the NAPCS initiative and presents the final versions of the product lists developed so far for the service industries included in those 12 sectors. Work is underway developing NAPCS products of industries in NAICS sectors not yet covered (Sector 11: Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting, Sector 21: Mining, Sector 22: Utilities, Sector 23: Construction, Sector 31-33: Manufacturing, Sector 42: Wholesale Trade, and Sector 44-45: Retail Trade). Provisional lists will be announced on this site as they are decided.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) uses the data to estimate expenditures for the National Health Accounts. The Coalition of Service Industries uses data for general research and planning. Trade and professional organizations use the estimates to analyze industry trends and benchmark their own statistical programs, develop forecasts, and evaluate regulatory requirements.

The Quarterly Services Survey (QSS) is the only source of service industry indicator performance providing timely estimates of revenue and expenses for selected service industries. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) is the primary Federal user of data collected in the QSS. The BEA utilizes this timely data to factor into the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to make improvements to the national accounts for service industries. QSS estimates also provide the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) with timely information on current economic performance. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) use the QSS data to develop hospital-spending estimates in the National Accounts. In addition, the QSS data improves their ability to analyze hospital-spending trends.

The e-commerce measures report the value of goods and services sold online whether over open networks such as the Internet, or over proprietary networks running systems such as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). E-commerce data were collected in four separate Census Bureau surveys. These surveys used different measures of economic activity such as shipments for manufacturing, sales for wholesale and retail trade, and revenues for service industries. Consequently, measures of total economic and e-commerce activity vary by economic sector, are conceptually and definitionally different, and therefore, are not additive.

During the school year, many children receive free and reduced-price breakfast and lunch through the School Breakfast and National School Lunch Programs. What happens when school lets out? Hunger is one of the most severe roadblocks to the learning process. Lack of nutrition during the summer months may set up a cycle for poor performance once school begins again. Hunger also may make children more prone to illness and other health issues. The Summer Food Service Program is designed to fill that nutrition gap and make sure children can get the nutritious meals they need. This data set contains information on summer food service participation, meals served and cash payments provided by state. (format: html, xls)
