Brussels Pharmacopoeia Agreement (1925)
Short description
The Agreement revising the Agreement respecting the Unification of Pharmacopoeial Formulas for Potent Drugs, informally known as the 1925 Brussels Pharmacopoeia Agreement (: Arrangement révisant l’Arrangement International pour l’Unification de la Formule des Médicaments Héroïques), was an international treaty to harmonize the monographs of certain medical substances between national pharmacopoeias, negotiated in 1925 and signed in 1929. It succeeded a previous Agreement negotiates in 1902 and signed in 1906 in Brussels, and was terminated in 1952.
Brussels Pharmacopoeia Agreement (1925)
Background
Background The first international pharmaceutical congress was held in Strasbourg in 1867, and emitted the wish that an international pharmacopoeia be compiled. There were subsequently dozens of international pharmaceutical congresses in Europe which prepared the entreprise. The original Brussels Agreement, originally agreed on in Brussels in 1902 by pharmacists from Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, and the UK (Greece and Portugal were announced but excused), was then renegotiated over four years and finally adopted in December 1906 by 19 mainly European countries (including Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland), aimed to standardise 49 pharmaceutical preparations (e.g. iodine, cocaine, opium) through a multilateral treaty. thumb|Delegates at the 1902 International Pharmacopoeia Conference, Brussels The Agreement sought to unify pharmacopoeial standards by encouraging states to revise their national codices in line with harmonised formulae. However, the treaty had weak enforcement mechanisms, poor administrative provisions, and implementation was uneven. Funding reluctance, the outbreak of the World War I, and the rise of the League of Nations finished to convince the need to revise the 1902/1906 Agreement.
Brussels Pharmacopoeia Agreement (1925)
1925 Brussels Conference
1925 Brussels Conference Following World War I and in light of growing international pharmaceutical trade and the League of Nations' emerging role in public health, a revised treaty was negotiated in 1925. This second conference met in Brussels' Academy Palace from 10 to 29 September 1925, resulting in a revised international agreement. This version, agreed upon at a conference in Brussels with broader international participation, expanded the harmonized list to 77 items (including cannabis and digitalis), introduced dosage standards, and established a provisional "Permanent International Pharmacopoeia Secretariat". The countries that signed in 1925 were Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK, and Yugoslavia. The treaty entered into force in 1929. Despite not explicitly referring to an “international pharmacopoeia”, the treaty allowed for harmonized national monographs to bear the abbreviation "P. I." (for protocole international), which was often misread as Pharmacopoeia Internationalis. The German pharmacopoeia DAB 6 interpreted it as Præscripcio Internationalis (international prescription). While uptake of the 1925 formulae was greater than the 1906 version, both agreements ultimately fell short of fully standardizing pharmaceutical texts across countries. Much more countries included harmonizes monographs in their national pharmacopoeias, but they often cherry-picked which monographs to harmonize.

Termination
Termination In May 1952, diplomats agreed in Geneva to terminate the 1925 Brussels Agreement, noting that:the publication by the World Health Organization of the Pharmacopoea Internationalis has rendered generally obsolete the provisions of the Agreements signed at Brussels on 29 November 19062 and 20 August 19293 for the Unification of Pharmacopoeial Formulas for Potent DrugsEdited since 1951, the WHO's International Pharmacopoeia (Ph.Int.) is seen as the continuation of the 1902/1906 and 1925/1929 Brussels Agreements.

Articles relating to people who served as Domestici of the Roman Empire, military officers of the Late Roman army. They often held high ranks in various fields, whether it was the servants of a noble house on the civilian side, or a high-ranking military position. After serving under the emperor for a certain duration, the Domestici would be able to become leaders themselves and potentially command their own regiment of legionaries in the military. Relatively, the most important offices were the “Comes Domesticorum” also known as, “Commander of the Protectores Domestici,” and “Comes rei Militaris”, equivalent to a general.

Jamshid Eshaghi
Short description
Jamshid Eshaghi (born July 7, 1961, in Ahvaz, Iran) is an Iranian Brigadier general and a senior financial officer in Iran's military establishment. He serves as the chief of the Office of Budget and Financial Affairs within Iran's Armed Forces General Staff (AFGS), the top command coordinating the nation's military branches. In this capacity, Eshaghi has been responsible for managing military finances and budgets, which in Iran often means leveraging oil resources for funding defense projects. Iranian authorities have increasingly allocated crude oil directly to the armed forces in lieu of cash budget, enabling military entities to sell that oil to finance their operations. As a high-ranking official (equivalent to a deputy planning director in the General Staff), Eshaghi is one of the most senior Iranian figures to be targeted by recent international sanctions.
Jamshid Eshaghi
Involvement with Sepehr Energy and affiliates
Involvement with Sepehr Energy and affiliates Eshaghi is closely linked to Sepehr Energy Jahan Nama Pars, a Tehran-based oil company identified by U.S. officials as a front for Iran's military. In fact, Sepehr Energy is described as a cover company operating on behalf of the AFGS and Iran's Ministry of Defense (MODAFL) to covertly sell Iranian oil abroad. Brigadier General Eshaghi previously served as an official of Sepehr Energy and is said to directly oversee its operations for the armed forces.. An investigative report by Iran International revealed that Sepehr Energy established a network of shell companies, including subsidiaries like Sepehr Energy Hamta Pars, Sepehr Energy Jahan Nama Taban, and Sepehr Energy Paya Gostar Jahan, to mask the military's role in oil deals. These affiliates facilitated shipments of Iranian crude oil to buyers in Asia while sharing many of the same personnel with Sepehr Energy. For example, one Sepehr affiliate arranged the delivery of nearly two million barrels of Iranian crude oil to China in January 2025 alone. Internal documents and communications (exposed via Iran International) have indicated direct ties between Sepehr Energy's dealings and Iran's armed forces, including contracts bearing military guarantees for oil shipments, despite public denials by company officials.
Jamshid Eshaghi
Ties to the IRGC and oil sale operations
Ties to the IRGC and oil sale operations Eshaghi's activities in Sepehr's oil network brought him into cooperation with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), especially in illicit crude sales to China. According to the U.S. Treasury, Brig. Gen. Eshaghi coordinated with the IRGC on the sale of Iranian crude oil to the People's Republic of China. The IRGC has itself taken an expanding role in Iran's oil exports. A late-2024 investigation by Reuters reported that the IRGC had "tightened their grip" on the country's oil industry, secretly controlling up to 50% of Iran's oil exports through shadow tankers, logistics networks, and front companies (many selling oil at steep discounts to Chinese buyers)reuters.comreuters.com. This oil-smuggling enterprise, originally established years ago under IRGC Quds Force commanders, has become a major source of revenue used to fund Iran's military projects and proxy forces. Eshaghi's role, liaising between the AFGS (and by extension the conventional military) and the IRGC's clandestine oil trade, positioned him as a crucial facilitator in monetizing Iranian oil outside of official channels. Eshaghi helped to integrate the armed forces' budgetary needs with the IRGC's covert export network, ensuring proceeds from "off-the-books" oil sales reached Iran's defense institutions.
Jamshid Eshaghi
International sanctions and designations
International sanctions and designations Jamshid Eshaghi's involvement in these activities has led to his designation under international sanctions, principally by the United States. On February 6, 2025, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned Eshaghi as part of a major action against an Iranian oil-smuggling network. He was blacklisted alongside several other individuals and entities linked to Sepehr Energy, with OFAC citing that Eshaghi had "acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Sepehr Energy". This designation was made under the U.S. counterterrorism authority Executive Order 13224, effectively categorizing him as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) due to the financial support his activities provide to IRGC-linked terrorism and militant groups. Notably, Iran's IRGC and its Quds Force are themselves U.S.-designated terrorist organizations, which is why facilitating their oil revenue can trigger a terrorism-based sanction. The U.S. also referenced Executive Order 13902 in Eshaghi's designation, an authority targeting Iran's petroleum sector. Under these sanctions, any of Eshaghi's assets under U.S. jurisdiction are frozen, and U.S. persons (including banks) are prohibited from doing business with him. Moreover, OFAC assigned Eshaghi a "secondary sanctions risk" warning. This means that foreign (non-U.S.) institutions that knowingly facilitate significant transactions for him could themselves face U.S. sanctions, a powerful disincentive for international companies and banks to have any dealings involving Eshaghi or his associated entities. In practical terms, Eshaghi has been cut off from the formal global financial system: he cannot travel freely to many countries, open bank accounts abroad, or engage in cross-border trade without risking asset seizures or enforcement actions. The U.S. Treasury press release announcing the move emphasized that Iran's armed forces, through fronts like Sepehr, generate "hundreds of millions of dollars" from oil sales to fund destabilizing activities (from missile development to regional militias), and that Washington is committed to disrupting these revenue streams. Indeed, U.S. officials pointed out that the oil shipments coordinated by Eshaghi and others were conducted on behalf of the AFGS and were funneling money into Iran's military expansion. As of this writing, European authorities and the United Nations have not publicly listed Eshaghi for sanctions. The European Union has sanctioned various IRGC and MODAFL-linked entities over the years (especially related to Iran's nuclear program and regional aggression), but Eshaghi's name does not appear in EU sanction documents to date. Nonetheless, the U.S. measures, given their extraterritorial reach, significantly limit Eshaghi's international dealings. Regional media outlets have widely covered the case; for instance, Iran's state-affiliated press condemned the U.S. sanctions as "illegitimate and unlawful" even as opposition-run media highlighted Eshaghi as the highest-ranking Iranian officer hit in that sanctions round. Western news services like Reuters and Al Jazeera framed the sanctions against Eshaghi and the Sepehr network as part of President Donald Trump's renewed "maximum pressure" campaign upon returning to office, aimed at cutting Iran's oil exports to zero and curbing funds for its missile and nuclear programs.

The Premier Volleyball League (PVL) plays its matches across multiple venues. As the PVL's teams represent companies rather than locations, there is no need for a home-and-away format. Most matches are played in venues in Metro Manila, including the Smart Araneta Coliseum, SM Mall of Asia Arena, PhilSports Arena, and the Playtime Filoil Centre. There are also occasional matches played outside of the region, which are part of the PVL on Tour. During the 2021 PVL season, the league held its first season as a professional league at PCV Socio-Civic & Cultural Center in Bacarra, Ilocos Norte. This was held in a bubble due to the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the following 2022 Open Conference, the preliminary round matches were held at Paco Arena in Manila in the same bubble format as the last conference. Starting from the playoffs of said conference, the league officially started reaccepting live audiences to watch the matches.

Bangladesh–Romania relations
refimprove
Bangladesh–Romania relations are the bilateral relations between Bangladesh and Romania. The two countries share friendly diplomatic ties, which have evolved since the early 1970s. Over the years, cooperation has developed in areas such as trade, education, labor migration, and multilateral diplomacy.
Bangladesh–Romania relations
History
History Romania was among the first countries to recognize Bangladesh's independence, formally establishing diplomatic relations on 29 June 1972. Bangladesh opened its embassy in Bucharest in 1973, which operated until 1995. Romania maintained an embassy in Dhaka until 1997. In July 2020, Bangladesh reopened its embassy in Bucharest, marking a renewed commitment to strengthening bilateral ties. In October 2020, Bangladesh reopened its embassy in Bucharest, Romania, which marked a key step toward revitalizing diplomatic engagement. In October 2022, Romanian Foreign Minister Bogdan Aurescu held political consultations with Bangladeshi Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen. It was the most significant high-level diplomatic contact in the last three decades between the two nations. During the visit, the two countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding to hold regular political consultations between their respective foreign ministries. In February 2025, Shahnaz Gazi presented her credentials as the new Ambassador of Bangladesh to Romania, signaling a renewed effort to bolster bilateral relations and economic cooperation between the two nations.
Bangladesh–Romania relations
Economic relations
Economic relations Economic relations between Bangladesh and Romania have been growing steadily over the past few decades. Both countries have expressed mutual interest in expanding cooperation across various sectors, including textiles, pharmaceuticals, agro-industrial development, skilled labor migration, and the blue economy. Romania has pledged support for Bangladesh’s efforts to retain its Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+) trade privileges within the European Union, which facilitates duty-free access to European markets for Bangladeshi goods. Such collaboration highlights the countries’ shared goals in strengthening bilateral economic frameworks and fostering long-term partnerships. In February 2025, the newly appointed Bangladeshi ambassador to Romania, Shahnaz Gazi, presented her credentials in Bucharest, emphasizing a renewed commitment to deepen bilateral relations and economic engagement. Romania has expressed interest in expanding bilateral trade to USD $200 million, highlighting opportunities in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, agro-industry, textiles, and infrastructure. Romanian companies have shown interest in investing in Bangladesh’s hydropower sector, particularly through the construction of mini hydroelectric plants, given Bangladesh’s extensive river systems. Romania has also offered its expertise in refinery modernization, particularly in enhancing operations at the Eastern Refinery Limited. Additionally, Romania a major wheat producer has explored the possibility of supplying wheat to Bangladesh, especially in light of disruptions in Ukrainian exports due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Port of Constanța, the largest port on the Black Sea, has been proposed by Romania as a potential logistics hub for Bangladeshi exports to Central and Eastern Europe, which could reduce shipping time and cost, and strengthen regional trade connectivity. Romania has approved the recruitment of up to 100,000 foreign workers, including Bangladeshis, in sectors such as construction, agriculture, hospitality, and services. The Romanian government has expressed concerns about the exploitation of Bangladeshi workers by middlemen and has called for a Government-to-Government (G2G) mechanism to ensure safer and more transparent labor migration. While Bangladeshi workers are generally well received in Romania, challenges remain regarding training and language skills. Some workers have reportedly attempted to use Romania as a transit route to other parts of Europe through irregular channels. The Romanian side emphasizes the need for proper regulation and pre-departure training to avoid such issues.

Hannes Botha
Infobox rugby biography
Johannes Petrus Fredrick Botha (11 May 1937 – 30 August 2011), known as Hannes Botha, was a South African Army brigadier and international rugby union player. Botha was born in Potgietersrus and attended Hoërskool Wonderboom in Pretoria, where his future Springboks captain Avril Malan was a schoolmate. After finishing high school, Botha pursued a career in the army and played his early rugby for the Saldanha military academy team. He represented Boland during this period as a lock forward. On his return to Pretoria in 1960, Botha earned Junior Springboks representative honours, followed by a place on the Springboks squad for the 1960–61 tour of Europe, to back up flankers Martin Pelser and Hugo van Zyl. His participation on the tour was limited to seven uncapped fixtures and he wasn't helped by a hamstring injury which had him sidelined for an extended period. An opportunity however arose the following year when Pelser defected to rugby league and Botha was capped three times as a flanker against the touring British Lions, finishing on the winning team each time.
