Kazakhstan, NATO's relations with -
NATO's relations with Kazakhstan NATO and Kazakhstan actively cooperate on democratic, institutional, and defence reforms and have developed practical cooperation in many other areas. The Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP) lays out the overall programme of cooperation between Kazakhstan and NATO. The defence-related fields of cooperation are supported by the Planning and Review Process (PARP). Framework for cooperation Dialogue between NATO and Kazakhstan takes place within the framework of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC). The NATO Secretary General's Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia, James Appathurai, conducts high-level political dialogue with Kazakh authorities through regular visits to the country. The NATO Liaison Officer in Central Asia also visits Astana regularly and reviews cooperation with the Kazakh government. NATO and Kazakhstan are developing practical cooperation in a number of areas through the country's Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP). Kazakhstan sets out its reform plans and timelines in its IPAP, which is agreed for a two-year period. The current IPAP for the 2012-2013 cycle covers key areas to include political, military and security-sector reforms. NATO agrees to support Kazakhstan in achieving these reforms by providing focused, country-specific advice and assistance. Kazakhstan also cooperates with NATO and other partner countries on a wide range of other areas through the Partnership for Peace (PfP) programme and the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council. Key areas of cooperation Security cooperation Kazakhstan has designated an infantry battalion called KAZBAT for potential deployment in NATO-led peace support operations, under UN Security Council mandates. KAZBAT became operable as planned and elements of this battalion have joined NATO Allies in a number of live exercises. In the framework of PARP, the expansion of this force into a full brigade organisation – KAZBRIG – is a major project aimed to give Kazakhstan the rotational capability to continuously sustain a battalion-sized contribution. In 2010, Kazakhstan, along with Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Belarus completed an agreement with NATO allowing the transportation of non-lethal ISAF cargo to Afghanistan by rail. As of 2012, NATO also has an agreement with Kazakhstan (as well as with several other Central Asian countries and with Russia) for the redeployment of non-lethal ISAF cargo from Afghanistan. Kazakhstan plays an active role in both hosting and participating in PfP training and exercises. In consultation with the Allies, Kazakhstan has established a PfP regional training centre, and continues to work with Allies and regional partners in military and language training techniques. Kazakhstan contributes to the fight against terrorism through its participation in the Partnership Action Plan on Terrorism (PAP-T). This includes sharing information and analysis with NATO, enhancing national counter-terrorist capabilities and improving border security. In 2010, Kazakhstan hosted an Advanced Training Course, conducted by the Defence Against Terrorism Centre of Excellence based in Ankara, Turkey. The course addressed the dimensions of terrorism and strategies for countering it, as well as the importance of international and interagency cooperation in the fight against terrorism. Since 2006, Kazakhstan, in cooperation with NATO Allies and regional partners, has hosted annual military exercises, named "Steppe Eagle". These exercises have contributed to strengthening the interoperability of KAZBAT with Alliance forces. The 2012 exercise was conducted by Kazakhstan "in the spirit of Partnership for Peace"; the 2013 "Steppe Eagle" exercise is currently being planned. Defence and security sector reform NATO is supportive of the democratic and institutional reform process underway in Kazakhstan, which is outlined in its IPAP. Specifically in the area of defence and security sector reform, NATO and individual Allies have considerable expertise that Kazakhstan can draw upon. Kazakhstan's participation in the PfP Planning and Review Process (PARP) since 2002 has helped develop the ability of its forces to work with NATO. Kazakhstan seeks to attain interoperability between elements of its armed forces and those of NATO Allies. The current emphasis is on its Air-Mobile Forces. Joint work continues on the further development of a peacekeeping battalion to work alongside NATO Allies. Kazakhstan's PfP Training Centre (KAZCENT) was accredited by NATO as a Partnership Training and Education Centre in December 2010. KAZCENT offers annual courses open to Allies and Partners on military English, NATO staff procedures, and a 5-day familiarisation course on the history, economy, and culture of Central Asia and Afghanistan. Civil emergency planning Kazakhstan is enhancing its national civil emergency and disaster-management capabilities in cooperation with NATO, and through participation in activities organised by the Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre (EADRCC). Kazakhstan has previously sent a representative to the EADRCC; in 2009, the country hosted the EADRCC "ZHETYSU" exercise near Almaty. Science and environment Under the Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme, Kazakhstan has received grant awards for over 20 cooperative projects for collaborate scientific and environmental projects. Projects include collaboration on studies into radiological risks in Central Asia, integrated water resources management and new technology exploration for seismic resistant construction. In October 2009, participants from Kazakhstan attended an advanced training course on countering the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction through enhanced border security. In May 2010, scientists and engineers from Kazakhstan, as well as other countries from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region, took part in a NATO science programme designed to train participants in securing cyber networks. The primary goal of the training was to strengthen the cyber networks of the educational and scientific communities in the CIS region. Public information Increasing public awareness of NATO and the benefits of its relations with Kazakhstan is also an important area of cooperation. A joint NATO-Kazakhstan workshop was conducted to contribute to training the Kazakh press and public information officials in 2007. The Resource and Information Centre on NATO at the Al Farabi Kazakh National University in Almaty, which opened in 2007, hosts a number of NATO-themed events and visits from NATO representatives annually. In addition, a NATO Depository Library was inaugurated in Astana in 2008. Joint work on establishing a wider public information strategy is ongoing. In every partner country, an embassy of one of the NATO member states serves as a contact point and operates as a channel for disseminating information about the role and policies of the Alliance. The current NATO Contact Point Embassy in Kazakhstan is the embassy of Latvia. Milestones in relations 1992 Kazakhstan joins the North Atlantic Cooperation Council, renamed the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council in 1997. 1995 Kazakhstan officially joins the Partnership for Peace (PfP). 1997 Kazakhstan holds the first annual joint peacekeeping exercise ("Steppe Eagle ") with NATO countries, aimed at improving the readiness of Kazakh peacekeeping units to take part in NATO-led operations. 2002 Kazakhstan is connected to the Virtual Silk Highway. Kazakhstan joins the PfP Planning and Review Process (PARP). 2004 At the Istanbul Summit, Allied leaders place special focus on Central Asia – a special NATO representative and a liaison officer are assigned to the region. 2005 Kazakhstan delivers its IPAP presentation document to NATO. 2006 Kazakhstan and NATO agree on Kazakhstan's first IPAP, covering the 2006-2008 period and on its current set of 2006 Partnership Goals in the PARP. 2007 The President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, visits NATO Headquarters. The 2007 PARP Assessment documents the state of implementation of Partnership Goals. The NATO Science Partnership Prize for 2007 is awarded to two scientists from Kazakhstan and the United Kingdom for excellent collaboration on assessing radioactive contamination at the nuclear test site at Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan, which was operated by the former Soviet Union. The NATO Information Centre opens at the Al Farabi University. 2008 NATO depository library is inaugurated at the National Library.

Korea, NATO cooperation with the Republic of -
NATO cooperation with the Republic of Korea NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen in bilateral discussion with President Park Geun-hye of the Republic of Korea (April 2013) The Republic of Korea is one of NATO's "partners across the globe". Building on dialogue and cooperation that has been developed since 2005, relations were deepened with the signature of an Individual Partnership and Cooperation Programme in September 2012. Stabilising Afghanistan has been an important focus of cooperation in recent years, notably with the deployment by the Republic of Korea of a large contingent to support the NATO-led operation there. NATO is developing relations with a range of countries beyond the Euro-Atlantic area, which share similar strategic concerns and key Alliance values. The Alliance's Strategic Concept, adopted at the 2010 Lisbon Summit, paved the way for a more flexible partnership policy offering all partners the same basis of cooperation and dialogue. The establishment of a single Partnership Cooperation Menu open to all NATO partners enabled the Republic of Korea to access a wide range of cooperation activities with the Alliance and to formalise its relations with NATO through the development of an Individual Partnership and Cooperation Programme tailored to the country's interests. The new partnership programme approved in September 2012 promotes political dialogue and practical cooperation in a number of joint priority areas, including response to terrorism, multinational peace-support operations and enhancing interoperability, as well as cooperation under NATO's Science for Peace and Security Programme. Practical cooperation The Republic of Korea is a significant contributor to stabilisation efforts in Afghanistan. From 2010 to 2013, the country led an integrated civilian-military Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) of some 470 personnel in Parwan Province, which helped build the capacity of the provincial government in the areas of health, education, rural development and governance. As part of the process of transitioning responsibility for security in Afghanistan to Afghan lead, the PRT was phased out and its responsibilities handed over to Afghan authorities. Much of the Korean contingent was reinvested in Bagram, instead of being withdrawn. At the meeting of the foreign ministers of ISAF contributing nations in April 2011, the Republic of Korea announced its plan to contribute a generous US$ 500 million over five years to support the development of the Afghan National Security Forces and the socio-economic development of Afghanistan. Under this commitment, some US$75 million has been donated to the Afghan National Army Trust Fund between 2011 and 2012. Cooperating with NATO in countering the threat of piracy in the Gulf of Aden, the naval forces of the Republic of Korea have provided escorts to merchant vessels passing through the waters off the Horn of Africa. Political dialogue NATO and the Republic of Korea initiated dialogue in 2005. At that time, the then Foreign Minister Ban Ki-Moon addressed the North Atlantic Council. Since then, relations have evolved through regular high-level dialogue with the Republic of Korea's authorities. In November 2012, NATO Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs and Security Policy Dirk Brengelmann travelled to Seoul to hold the fifth round of annual high-level staff talks with the foreign ministry, which focused on taking forward the implementation of the Individual Partnership and Cooperation Programme. In April 2013, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen paid a three-day visit to the Republic of Korea, for talks with President Park Guen-hye and key members of her government to explore opportunities for expanding cooperation. During his trip, the Secretary General reiterated NATO's strong condemnation of North Korea's provocative rhetoric and actions, which pose a serious threat to regional and international peace, security and stability, and ended his trip with a short visit to the Demilitarized Zone.
Kosovo, NATO's role in
NATO's role in Kosovo NATO has been leading a peace-support operation in Kosovo since June 1999 in support of wider international efforts to build peace and stability in the area. Today, just under 5,000 troops from the NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR), provided by 31 countries continue to work towards maintaining a safe and secure environment and freedom of movement for all citizens and communities in Kosovo. Throughout Kosovo, KFOR is cooperating and coordinating with the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU) and other international actors to support the development of a stable, democratic, multi-ethnic and peaceful Kosovo. In April 2013, Belgrade and Pristina reached an Agreement on Normalisation, which is helping to improve relations between both parties while giving new momentum to the Euro-Atlantic integration of the Western Balkans. NATO and KFOR stand ready to support the implementation of this agreement within its means and capabilities. Over time, as the security situation has improved, NATO has been gradually adjusting KFOR's force posture towards a smaller and more flexible force with fewer static tasks. All adjustments to force posture are decided by the North Atlantic Council (NAC) as the security situation on the ground evolves. KFOR's objectives KFOR deployed into Kosovo on 12 June 1999, in the wake of a 78-day air campaign. This air campaign was launched by the Alliance in March 1999 to halt and reverse the humanitarian catastrophe that was then unfolding. KFOR derives its mandate from United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1244 of 10 June 1999 and the Military-Technical Agreement between NATO and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Serbia. KFOR operates under Chapter VII of the UN Charter and, as such, is a peace enforcement operation. Today, KFOR continues to help maintain a safe and secure environment and freedom of movement for all people in Kosovo, according to its mandate, which is to: deter renewed hostility and threats against Kosovo by Yugoslav and Serb forces; establish a secure environment and ensure public safety and order; demilitarize the Kosovo Liberation Army; support the international humanitarian effort; and coordinate with, and support, the international civil presence. KFOR's tasks Initial tasks KFOR tasks have included assistance with the return or relocation of displaced persons and refugees; reconstruction and de-mining; medical assistance; security and public order; protection of patrimonial sites; border security; interdiction of cross-border weapons smuggling; implementation of a Kosovo-wide weapons, ammunition and explosives amnesty programme; weapons destruction; and support for the establishment of civilian institutions, law and order, the judicial and penal system, the electoral process and other aspects of the political, economic and social life of Kosovo. Special attention continues to be paid to the protection of minorities. This includes regular patrols near minority enclaves, check points, escorts for minority groups, protection of heritage sites such as monasteries, and donations including food, clothes and school supplies. Additional tasks On 12 June 2008, NATO agreed to start implementing additional tasks in Kosovo, i.e. assist in the standing down of the Kosovo Protection Corps (KPC) and in the establishment of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF), as well as a civilian structure to oversee the KSF. The following tasks have been implemented in close coordination and consultation with the relevant local and international authorities: Stand-down of the Kosovo Protection Corps The KPC was conceived as a transitional post-conflict arrangement, under the responsibility of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo. Its mandate was to provide disaster-response services, perform search and rescue, provide a capacity for humanitarian assistance in isolated areas, assist de-mining and contribute to rebuilding infrastructure and communities. The KPC ceased its operational activities on 20 January 2009 and was formally dissolved on 14 June 2009. In parallel, the Kosovo Security Force was developed to ensure that key capabilities were available for emergency situations. Stand-up of the Kosovo Security Force / NATO Liaison and Advisory Team NATO has supervised the stand-up and training of a multi-ethnic, professional and civilian-controlled Kosovo Security Force. The KSF is a lightly armed volunteer force, with no heavy weapons such as tanks, heavy artillery or offensive air capability. It has primary responsibility for security tasks that are not appropriate for the police such as emergency response, explosive ordnance disposal, management of hazardous material, fire fighting and civil protection. The first Kosovo-wide recruitment campaign for the KSF started on 21 January 2009 and focused on encouraging all minority communities in Kosovo to apply. The recruitment process was carried out in two official languages: Albanian and Serbian. Initial operational capability was reached in mid-September 2009, with some 1,500 personnel; full operational capability was declared by the North Atlantic Council on 9 July 2013, with approximately 2,200 active personnel. The KSF's total strength is mandated to a maximum of 2,500 active personnel and 800 reservists. In order to continue supporting the KSF, the Alliance established the NATO Liaison and Advisory Team (NLAT) in July 2013. The NLAT is distinct from KFOR and consists of approximately 35 military and civilian personnel. Based in Pristina, this body is charged with providing advice and support to the KSF at brigade level and above, focusing on staff capacity-building and training. Establish a civilian-led body to supervise the KSF / NATO Advisory Team NATO assisted and continues to assist in establishing a civilian-led organisation that exercises control over the KSF. Primary responsibility for this task rests with NATO Headquarters in Brussels; KFOR is tasked to support the NATO Advisory Team that has been established in Pristina. Command and structure of KFOR The Multinational Battle Groups (MNBG) A Battle Group is a military unit at the level of a battalion, consisting of numerous companies. These companies are highly mobile, flexible and rapidly deployable to potential trouble spots all over Kosovo. There are currently two MNBGs: HQ MNBG East, located at Camp Bondsteel, located near Urosevac; HQ MNBG West, located at Camp Villagio Italia in Pec. HQ KFOR continues to be located at Camp Film City, Pristina. In addition to the KFOR troops in Kosovo, NATO continues to maintain reserve forces ready to deploy if necessary. KFOR comes under a single chain of command, under the authority of Commander KFOR (COMKFOR). COMKFOR reports to the Commander of Joint Force Command Naples (COM JFCN), Italy. The current COMKFOR is Major General Salvatore Farina. He assumed command of the Kosovo Force on 7 September 2013. Former KFOR commanders Lt. Gen.

Salvatore Farina, IT A 07 Sep 2013 – 03 Sep 2014 The evolution of NATO's role in Kosovo KFOR deploys UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1244 was adopted on 10 June 1999 and on 12 June, the first elements of the NATO-led Kosovo Force, or KFOR, entered Kosovo. By 20 June, the withdrawal of Serbian forces was complete. KFOR was initially composed of some 50,000 men and women from NATO member countries, partner countries and other non-NATO countries under unified command and control. By early 2002, KFOR was reduced to around 39,000 troops. The improved security environment enabled NATO to reduce KFOR troop levels to 26,000 by June 2003, then to 17,500 by the end of 2003. An improved security situation In recent years, the security situation has continued to improve steadily. As a result, on 11-12 June 2009, NATO Defence Ministers decided to gradually adjust KFOR's force posture towards what is called a deterrent presence. At their informal meeting in Istanbul on 3-4 February 2010, NATO Defence Ministers were informed by the NATO Military Authorities that KFOR had successfully achieved the so-called Gate 1 in its transition to a deterrent presence, reducing the number of troops on the ground to some 10,200. The move to Gate 2, allowing for a total of approximately 5,000 troops was recommended by the NATO Military Authorities and authorised by the North Atlantic Council on 29 October 2010. Gate 2 was declared on 28 February 2011. Any future decision on further reducing KFOR's footprint in Kosovo will require the approval of the North Atlantic Council. Nations have been clear that any such decision should be dictated by continued positive conditions on the ground. In a separate development, the improved security situation on the ground in Kosovo also allowed NATO to continue with the implementation of the so-called unfixing process: the gradual transfer of security for religious and cultural heritage sites under KFOR protection to Kosovo Police responsibility. By the end of 2013, KFOR had unfixed eight properties with Designated Special Status: the Gazimestan Monument, Gracanica Monastery, Zociste Monastery, Budisavci Monastery, Gorioc Monastery, the Archangel site, Devic Monastery, and the Pec Patriarchate. Only one designated site – the Decani Monastery – currently remains under fixed KFOR protection. NATO's support to the EU-facilitated dialogue On 19 April 2013, Belgrade and Pristina reached an EU-facilitated First Agreement of Principles Governing the Normalisation of Relations; an implementation plan was agreed on 22 May 2013. NATO played an important role in securing the Agreement, and Allies continue to strongly support the accord. In support of the Agreement, Belgrade and Pristina have initiated a programme of high-level talks, hosted by the European Union. This dialogue remains key to solving the political deadlock between the two parties, and has helped improve relations between them. The dialogue has also given fresh momentum to the Euro-Atlantic integration of the Western Balkans. In June 2013, the European Council decided to open accession negotiations with Belgrade and negotiations with Pristina on a Stabilisation and Association Agreement; both processes are currently underway. NATO continues to offer strong political support to the Belgrade-Pristina Agreement, and KFOR stands ready to support its implementation – by ensuring a climate of peace and security – within its current mandate.
Kosovo Air Campaign, The -
The Kosovo Air Campaign Operation Allied Force NATO launched an air campaign, Operation Allied Force, in March 1999 to halt the humanitarian catastrophe that was then unfolding in Kosovo. The decision to intervene followed more than a year of fighting within the province and the failure of international efforts to resolve the conflict by diplomatic means. By the end of 1998 more than 300,000 Kosovars had already fled their homes, the various cease-fire agreements were systematically being flouted and negotiations were stalled. Two rounds of internationally brokered talks in Rambouillet, France, in February and in Paris in March 1999 failed to break the deadlock and exhausted diplomatic avenues. At the time, autonomy for Kosovo within the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, guaranteed by the presence of a NATO-led force, could have been assured. Accepted by the Albanian delegation, the proposal was rejected by Belgrade. NATO announced the suspension of the air campaign on 10 June, once it had concluded a Military Technical Agreement with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The same day, UNSCR 1244 welcomed the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's acceptance of the principles for a political solution, including an immediate end to violence and a rapid withdrawal of its military, police and paramilitary forces and the deployment of an effective international civil and security presence, with substantial NATO participation. The political objectives of the air campaign The campaign proper The build-up to the campaign and its immediate aftermath The political objectives of the air campaign They were to bring about: a verifiable stop to all military action, violence and repression; the withdrawal from Kosovo of military personnel, police and paramilitary forces; the stationing in Kosovo of an international military presence; the unconditional and safe return of all refugees and displaced persons and unhindered access to them by humanitarian aid organizations; the establishment of a political agreement for Kosovo in conformity with international law and the Charter of the United Nations. The campaign proper Despite strains, the Alliance held together during 78 days of air strikes in which more than 38,000 sorties – 10,484 of them strike sorties – were flown without a single Allied fatality. After first targeting the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's air defences, NATO gradually escalated the campaign using the most advanced, precision-guided systems and avoiding civilian casualties to the greatest extent possible. Target selection was reviewed at multiple levels of command to ensure that it complied with international law, was militarily justified, and minimized the risk to civilian lives and property. Having intervened in Kosovo to protect ethnic Albanians from ethnic cleansing, NATO has been equally committed to protecting the province's ethnic Serbs from a similar fate since the deployment of KFOR in the province in June 1999. The build-up to the air campaign and its immediate aftermath Simmering tension in Kosovo resulting from the 1989 imposition of direct rule from Belgrade of this predominantly Albanian province erupted in violence between Serbian military and police and Kosovar Albanians at the end of February 1998. The international community intervenes The international community became increasingly concerned about the escalating conflict, its humanitarian consequences and the risk of it spreading to other countries, as well as Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's disregard for diplomatic efforts aimed at peacefully resolving the crisis and the destabilizing role of Kosovar Albanian militants. On 13 October 1998, the North Atlantic Council authorized activation orders for NATO air strikes, in support of diplomatic efforts to make the Milosevic regime withdraw forces from Kosovo, cooperate in bringing an end to the violence and facilitate the return of refugees to their homes. Following further diplomatic initiatives, President Milosevic agreed to comply and the air strikes were called off. The Kosovo Verification Mission Further measures were taken in support of UN Security Council resolutions calling for an end to the conflict, including the establishment of a Kosovo Verification Mission by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe and an aerial surveillance mission by NATO, as well as a NATO military task force to assist in the evacuation of members of the Verification Mission in the event of further conflict. The crisis intensifies The situation in Kosovo flared up again at the beginning of 1999, following a number of acts of provocation on both sides and the use of excessive force by the Serbian military and police. This included the massacre of 40 unarmed civilians in the village of Racak on 15 January. Renewed international efforts to give new political impetus to finding a peaceful solution to the conflict resulted in the convening of negotiations between the parties to the conflict in London and Paris under international mediation. These negotiations failed, however, and in March 1999, Serbian military and police forces stepped up the intensity of their operations, moving extra troops and tanks into the region, in a clear breach of agreements reached. Tens of thousands of people began to flee their homes in the face of this systematic offensive. A final unsuccessful attempt was made by US Ambassador Richard Holbrooke to persuade President Milosevic to reverse his policies. All diplomatic avenues having been exhausted, NATO launched an air campaign against the Milosevic regime on 24 March 1999. The aftermath of the air campaign Following diplomatic efforts by Russia and the European Union on 3 June, a Military Technical Agreement was concluded between NATO and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia on 9 June. On the following day, after confirmation that the withdrawal of Yugoslav forces from Kosovo had begun, NATO announced the suspension of the air campaign. On 10 June, UNSCR 1244 welcomed the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's acceptance of the principles for a political solution, including an immediate end to violence and a rapid withdrawal of its military, police and paramilitary forces and the deployment of an effective international civil and security presence, with substantial NATO participation.
Kyrgyz Republic, NATO's relations with the -
NATO's relations with the Kyrgyz Republic The Kyrgyz Republic cooperates with NATO within the Partnership for Peace and the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council. NATO and Kyrgyzstan have developed practical cooperation in many areas, with the goal of enhancing regional and global security. The Individual Partnership Cooperation Programme (IPCP) lays out the programme of cooperation between NATO and Kyrgyzstan. Framework for cooperation Dialogue takes place within the framework of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC). The NATO Secretary General's Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia, James Appathurai, conducts high-level political dialogue with Kyrgyz authorities. The NATO Liaison Officer in Central Asia also visits Bishkek regularly and reviews cooperation with the government. NATO and Kyrgyzstan are developing practical cooperation in a number of areas through the country's Individual Partnership Cooperation Programme (IPCP), which is jointly agreed each year. Key areas include security and peacekeeping cooperation, especially counter-terrorism cooperation and border security, crisis management, and civil emergency planning. The country joined the PfP Planning and Review Process (PARP) in 2007 to work more closely with the Allies on military interoperability and defence planning initiatives, with objectives underpinned by a set of tailored Partnership Goals. Kyrgyzstan is expected to attend the meeting on the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan, which is taking place in expanded format at the NATO Summit in Chicago in May 2012. Key areas of cooperation Security cooperation Kyrgyzstan participates in numerous PfP exercises. The Kyrgyz Government has identified a number of units as available for NATO/PfP operations and training exercises. Participation requires a government decision in each individual case. The units include an infantry company, a special National Guards platoon for counter-terrorism and peacekeeping training, and a border guard company. NATO and the Kyrgyzstan are also developing an agreement on the transit of surface (rail and road) cargo for ISAF across Kyrgyz territory. Defence and security sector reform In consultation with the NATO Allies, Kyrgyzstan is in the process of reforming its armed forces. The PARP, which Kyrgyzstan joined in 2007, has the potential to further assist the government in developing reform plans and activities. These reforms should also enhance Kyrgyzstan's ability to take part in peacekeeping operations alongside NATO forces. Kyrgyzstan is working to enhance its mountain search and rescue capabilities, and its military command and control structures. Military education plays a role in these processes and cooperation in this area covers a wide range of areas, including language training, search and rescue education and training, border security and control, and the law of armed conflicts and human rights. Kyrgyzstan also participates in a NATO-supported retraining programme for released military personnel. The goal of the programme is to cushion the socio-economic consequences of the country's restructuring armed forces by facilitating the re-entry of former military personnel into the civilian job market. Civil emergency planning Civil emergency planning is a key area of cooperation for Kyrgyzstan. With the Allies, the country is working to improve its effectiveness in responding to natural disasters and emergency situations. Kyrgyzstan is particularly interested in relevant scientific and technical cooperation and the mechanisms available through the Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre (EADRCC). Kyrgyzstan has sent experts to relevant seminars at the NATO School in Oberammergau, as well as to relevant discussions at NATO Headquarters. Science and environment Scientists from Kyrgyzstan have received grant awards in a range of subject areas under NATO's Science for Peace and Security (SPS) programme. Scientists from Kyrgyzstan, alongside experts from Belgium, Russia and the Slovak Republic, are working on a project to prevent landslide dam disasters in the Tien Shan, a mountainous region in the Kyrgyz Republic prone to major earthquakes and vulnerable to landslides. In addition, scientists from the Kyrgyz Republic, United Kingdom, Italy and Uzbekistan have been working together on a project aimed at increasing geo-environmental security in the region of Toktogul Hydroelectric Power Station. Scientists from the Kyrgyz Republic have also been looking at ways to manage uranium industry wastes in order to prevent adverse effects on the health of local populations and the environment. Kyrgyzstan also participates in the Virtual Silk Highway project, which aims to increase internet access for academic and research communities in countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia through a satellite-based network. In September 2008, participants from Kyrgyzstan attended an advanced training course on the concept and parameters of the use of force in countering terrorism. In May 2010, scientists and engineers from Kyrgyzstan, as well as other countries from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region, took part in a NATO science programme designed to train participants in securing cyber networks. The primary goal of the training was to strengthen the cyber networks of the educational and scientific communities in the CIS region. In total, scientists and experts from the Kyrgyz Republic have had leading roles in 49 activities under the SPS programme. Public information Kyrgyzstan and NATO continue working together to increase public understanding of NATO and the benefits of cooperation. This is done through different strands of activities, including visits to NATO Headquarters, international workshops in Kyrgyzstan, and video conferences between NATO and Kyrgyz academic institutions. Work is ongoing to build and enhance networks with universities, non-governmental organisations, and the press and media in order to increase awareness of the Alliance and Euro-Atlantic security issues in general. To this end, Kyrgyzstan hosted the EAPC youth forum in Bishkek in November 2007.

The Aging Process
There are a lot of benefits and disadvantages to aging. Some people love the respect that comes with getting older, while others tend to hate the fact that they have to celebrate another birthday. This article will give you a lot of tips on aging that will be useful, no matter what your current attitude on the subject happens to be.
Eating a nutritious diet is an essential component in healthy aging. You want to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grain and fiber; this type of diet will give your body the fuel it needs to allow you to do all the things that you want to do. You can even swap recipes or cook with your friends to make the process fun.
If you are the primary caregiver to an aging parent, it can be hard to live a normal life outside of their needs. It is important to get siblings on board to help out. Whether it's taking the parent out for an afternoon, or staying with him at your home so you can get a break, delegate some responsibility to each sibling. It's only fair.
Thinning hair is quite common with aging. It can happen due to medications, hereditary conditions, menopause or illness. Thinning hair can be an irritating thing to deal with and you may talk to your doctor about your options. There are many hair extensions on the market today which will hide the problem without the use of old fashioned wigs.
Accept the limits of your life, but always strive for more activity. You don't have to lie down and take the fact that you aren't able to do what you used to, but you do want to acknowledge that there are some things you can't do anymore. You should be striving to stay as active as you can, but remember your limits.
Go easy on alcohol. Moderate drinking has been claimed to lower the risk of heart problems and other ailments. For older people, "moderate" means one drink for men and half a drink for women a day. A "drink" is defined as either 12 ounces of beer, 6 ounces of wine, or 1 ounce of hard liquor. To avoid drug interactions, ask your doctor if any alcohol is safe.
There are 19 foods that are considered to be must have items in your refrigerator and pantry, and they will work wonders for your health and vitality as you age. Write these down and post it somewhere in your home to keep yourself reminded to stay stocked: seafood, dairy, spinach, nuts, olive oil, broccoli, oatmeal, flax seed meal, avocados, pomegranate juice, tomatoes, tofu, yogurt, red onions, garlic, beans and lentils! It may seem like a lot but it is the least you can do for yourself and the best results you can yield from your meal planning efforts!
Keep up with your social calendar as you age. Studies have shown that people with an active social life have less chance of suffering from Alzheimer's. Visiting with friends and family will nourish those relationships and keep your mental health in top condition. Sharing your life with your social circle will lead you to a more fulfilling life.
As you get older you'll face more and more losses of loved ones, but that is just how life works. Remember that the person you're grieving for would never want your life to be put on hold just because they're gone. Grieve, release, and move on so you can continue loving all the other people who are still around you.
Eat healthy and balanced meals as this will go a long way in both your appearance and how your body performs as it ages on the inside. If you eat the right foods, you can help stay away from certain diseases and setbacks within your body. Maintain a nutritious lifestyle today.
As people age, muscle tone is compromised naturally. If you have jiggly skin between your elbows to armpits you will want to try to tone that area before it is too late to do anything about it. Getting rid of this type of flab can be done using very light weights and modified push ups.
Aging is something that really depends on your attitude to whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. Use all of the advice this article has given you, so that you don't have to feel bad about aging ever again. Have fun in your life and never regret another birthday.
When you think of how your body is aging, it's probably the most visible changes that come to mind. Maybe you've noticed more gray hair, or your skin doesn't seem as smooth as it used to be. These are just external signs of a series of processes going on within your cells and bodily systems that together constitute normal aging.

Love this wig!

Comments about Paula Young Kris Wig by Jaclyn Smith:
So who wouldn't want to look like the blonde modeling this wig?!!! Seriously, she caught the tousled look of the wig. It's light, it's fun, and if you like that look, this is the wig for you. I got color 24/14 which is the blonde I have been looking for; not a screaming blonde, more of a soft look.It does need bangs trimmed (which is good; better than being too short), and I also had my stylist shorten the length closer to shoulder length (I am 59; the length out of the box would be fine for someone younger).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Long and silky!
By Happy Gal
from Thompson, PA
I have purchased several Jaclyn Smith wigs from Paula Young and am very satisfied with them all. This Kris wig is about 9" or 10 " long and can be worn swooped up in a pony tail, a hair clip or worn down for a long, silky look. I bought the "wildflower honey" color and it's a lovely mix of browns and blondes. It wears and washes well.

Nice, conservative hairstyle
By The Artist
from Michigan
This is my wig to wear when I don't want anyone to know I'm wearing a wig. It's stylish yet conservative and natural looking. It does seem to get snarls in the back each time I wear it and I need to spend time with a wig brush gently removing the snarls.
Looks Natural

It's easier to have cut by a stylist when the ends get tattered. Looks natural, most people don't realize I have lost my hair during treatment.

At 7 ET tonight, the starters, pitchers and reserves for the American and National League teams will be revealed on ESPN's Major League Baseball All-Star Game Selection Show Presented by Pepsi Edge. Immediately after the live, one-hour telecast, the fireworks continue with the start of the Ameriquest All-Star Final Vote. It will be your chance to help decide which player goes to Houston with that 32nd and final roster spot for each league.
A record 10.6 million ballots were submitted in last year's Final Vote, with fans sending Boston catcher Jason Varitek and Milwaukee outfielder Geoff Jenkins to their first Midsummer Classics. Once again, fans will be able to go to MLB.com or any of the 30 official club sites and choose from among five names in each league. The Final Vote will end Wednesday night and MLB will reveal the 32nd men that evening at 9 ET.
"Every year when the All-Star teams were announced, it was the same old story -- who should have made it, how could so-and-so not be on the roster," said Gregg Klayman, manager of fantasy and interactive games for Major League Baseball Advanced Media and the creator of the Final Vote concept three years ago. "The media would then spend the next couple of days stirring up nationwide debates over which excluded players were truly the most deserving. Because the All-Star Game was created for the fans, it only made sense that they should be the ones to put an end to these yearly debates.
"The success of the All-Star Final Vote program the past few years shows that baseball enthusiasts all around the country want to have the final say when it comes to deciding the outcome of these yearly debates."
There is no debating that the entire process of filling Major League Baseball's All-Star rosters is more all-inclusive, more elaborate and more fun than ever. Now that the vote for starters officially closed as of 11:59 p.m. ET Wednesday and you are waiting for the Selection Show and the next chance to vote, here is a primer on the entire process and what still lies ahead for today's active fan:
Fan Vote, Part I: Starters
The Major League Baseball All-Star Balloting Program, the largest in professional sports, encompasses Ameriquest In-Stadium Balloting at all 30 Major League ballparks and Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico; Ameriquest Online All-Star Balloting at MLB.com, the Official Web Site of Major League Baseball; Pepsi Retail Balloting at Wal-Mart stores; International Retail Balloting throughout Canada, Dominican Republic, Japan, and Puerto Rico; and online in Spanish and Japanese at MLB.com.
Balloting began April 21 with in-game voting at Minute Maid Park and with the launch of the Ameriquest All-Star Online Ballot. The official close of in-stadium balloting was June 28 in Pittsburgh, and a final week of exclusive online balloting ended Wednesday night. Fans voted again around the world in English, Japanese and Spanish, and they easily shattered the online record for All-Star voting. MLB.com announced on Thursday that baseball fans around the world cast a record 10.6 million ballots and 141 million votes online in the 2004 Ameriquest All-Star Online Balloting Program.
While the final week of online voting was under way, the ballpark and retail votes were being compiled so that they could be added to the final online balloting to determine those eight starting position players in each league. Recent history shows that fans are not only prolific in the way they vote, but savvy as well.
The Player Ballot
During the final week of fan balloting, the Player Ballot was under way behind the scenes. This separate ballot of managers, coaches and players is conducted by Major League Baseball for the purpose of selecting an additional eight position players and eight pitchers (five starters and three relievers) in each league. There is no designated hitter in this year's event because it is an NL park. If the top vote-getter at a position in the Player Ballot is already chosen to start by fans, then the player with the second-most votes at that Player Ballot position is chosen. This brings each roster to 24 men.
The two All-Star managers -- Jack McKeon of the Marlins (NL) and Joe Torre of the Yankees (AL) -- and Major League Baseball then select seven (four pitchers and three position players) of the eight remaining spots on each team. That brings each roster to 31, and those players' identities are announced on the MLB All-Star Selection Show presented by Pepsi, televised live by ESPN tonight at 7 ET.
"At that point, you've made some very tough decisions because you only get so many choices," said Cubs manager Dusty Baker, recalling what it was like for him at this time last year as the NL manager. "When you're rounding out the roster, you still have to choose one player from each team, you've got the players' votes and the fans' votes. So you don't have that many choices, actually. And you still have to round out your roster with one player from each team. If you're going to make it one for each team it makes it harder. The hardest part is that somebody every year deserves to go and doesn't go; you're always going to have some discrepancy."
Fan Vote Part II: 32nd men
As Klayman noted, that is why the Final Vote was invented: To give the All-Star managers and fans everywhere one more opportunity to help a deserving player into this showcase event. In 2002, the first year of the Final Vote, outfielders Johnny Damon of Boston and Andruw Jones of Atlanta were selected as the last roster members. Last year, the rosters were expanded to 32 and the Red Sox made it 2-for-2 in this process. Jenkins benefited from the kind of campaigning by the Brewers and other grassroots supporters that fans probably will see again with the 2004 Final Vote nominees.
McKeon and Torre, in conjunction with Major League Baseball, will provide the five names of players for each league. "It's not easy to come up with those five players for each league, either," Baker said. "You're deciding, but MLB recommends people."
Fan Vote Part III: The MVP
Even after the Final Vote winners are announced on Thursday, the fans are not done voting for All-Stars.
For the second year in a row, you will be able to help decide the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player the night of the All-Star Game, through the online ballot also sponsored by Ameriquest. Voting will begin exclusively at MLB.com in the sixth inning and will continue until the MVP is announced immediately following the end of the game. The online fan vote will count 20 percent, with the other 80 percent coming onsite from the Baseball Writers Association of America and the announcers from the All-Star Game's three broadcast rightsholders: FOX Sports, ESPN Radio and MLB International. Last year, fans helped select the Angels' Garret Anderson as the Ted Williams All-Star MVP.
It all adds up to a heavy responsibility for everyone, to carry on a grand tradition in the most technologically and all-inclusive way possible. Baker said that after the rosters are decided and before that MVP is decided, the thing that makes it all worthwhile is seeing the intensity on the players' faces as the winning league gains World Series home-field advantage for the second year in a row.
"I remember when I first went there (to the All-Star Game as a Dodger in 1981), Pete Rose told me, 'We haven't lost this yet since I've been playing and we're not gonna lose.' That's the first thing he told me," said Baker, whose '82 NL teammates made it 11 consecutive All-Star victories. "Back in those days, there wasn't as much movement and camaraderie between players on both leagues. But one thing I really noticed last year was that these guys don't need raised stakes now to win. It was refreshing to see the competitive nature of these All-Stars when they got together to play."
It is almost time to play again, for a 75th time since they staged that first gathering of the greatest at Chicago's Comiskey Park in 1933. The process of deciding who to take along is more elaborate than ever, and it can be a lot of fun and a lot of hard work. The reward comes with that first pitch by an NL pitcher on July 13 in Houston.

I've spent the past three weeks talking to corporate offices of various restaurants for today's front page story. I would much rather deal with local owners of anything than go through the hoops of tracking down phone numbers for media relations, getting referred elsewhere then waiting for those call backs.
It's a major pain.
But the restaurant rumor mill has been stopped at least for a moment. I hope everyone is not too disappointed.

I'm not a fan of the bowl system. I'd love an eight-team bracketed playoff to find a true national champion. With the way things are set up now, are teams really feeling that great coming off a win in the Beef O'Brady's Bowl? Doubt it. But one thing that bowl season does do is give a brief spotlight, however dim it might be, on each bowl and its participants one at a time. While it can be about juniors and seniors elevating their draft stock in their final collegiate game, it can also be about a younger crop of players increasing their national notoriety. The best of those players will maintain that spotlight throughout the off-season. Once the 2013 season kicks off this fall, these players will be at the top of the list of front-runners for the most prestigious individual awards in sports: the Heisman Trophy. (NOTE: This list only includes players that have competed in a bowl games through January 2nd. I understand Johnny Manziel will be a Heisman frontrunner, as will the likes of...

Trade, Investment, & Development
The Trade, Investment, and Development track prepares students for international policy careers in international trade policy, development and investment.
What is International Trade?
International trade is the exchange of capital, goods, and services across international borders.
What is International Development?
International development is the development of greater quality of life for humans which encompasses: poverty reduction, public health, gender equality, human rights, economics, governance and related environmental issues.
Trade, Investment & Development Track
Understanding the motivations behind the movements and exchange of goods, services, capital, ideas and people between countries, how those movements impact people's lives, and the international rules governing them is a vital part of international policy studies. The Trade, Investment and Development track is designed for students interested in pursuing a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to these issues. The focus is not only on the poorest countries, but also the middle-income emerging market economies.
Trade, Investment & Development Careers
Many of our alumni have gone on to have successful careers for various capacities such as:
- Community, national and international organizations
- Local and national government offices
- Socially responsible businesses
- Think-tanks and academic institutions
- NGOs and volunteer organizations
Learn more about the exciting careers our graduates are currently pursuing.
Track Requirements (60 credits required)
The Trade, Investment and Development track provides students with a foundation of policy analysis, economics, and global politics. In addition, students are encouraged to gain professional development experience in the field through internships and practical experiences.
Core Requirements (20 credits)
- IPSG 8501 Policy Analysis (4 credits)
- IPSG 8505 Global Politics (4 credits)
- IPSG 8504 Data Analysis for Public Policy (4 credits)
- Economics AND Trade/Development Core Course (8 credits)
Choose one of the two options listed below:
- Trade Focus: IPSG 8515 Introduction to Trade Policy (4 Credits, available only in Fall) AND IPSG 8502: International Economics I: Trade (2 credits) PLUS IPSG 8503: International Economics II: Currencies K Flow Crisis (2 credits)
- Development Focus: IPSG 8551 Development Economics (4 credits) AND IPSG 8529 Development Theory and Practice (4 credits)
Seminars and Advanced Courses (12 credits)
The most important consideration in selecting courses is that students consult with their Center for Advising and Career Services (CACS) advisor to craft a degree map that best matches the student's individualized academic and professional objectives. Any GSIPM course that is called a Seminar (SEM), and that the student meets the required prerequisite of the course, are allowed to count towards this requirement. IPSG 8565-Intro to Network Analysis and IPSG 8673-Advanced Data Analysis are considered Advanced Courses. Contact your assigned Academic Advisor for more information.
Integrated Academic and Professional Project (IAPP) (4 to 12 credits)
The IAPP intends to tie practical, professional experience (i.e. internship, immersive seminar/course, graduate research assistantship, prior relevant professional experience, etc.) to academic curriculum. Students must demonstrate that they have mastered concepts and skills gained in the curriculum by applying them in a professional setting and/or reflecting on the challenges of doing so via projects and research papers in advance courses.
In consultation with their academic advisor, students will identify a combination of qualifying courses and experiences that will meet the degree requirement of 4 credits towards a Integrated Academic and Professional Project (IAPP). Qualifying courses should be selected from approved lists provided by GSIPM to CACS. Students should outline the IAPP no later than the end of their second semester in their 4 semester program (end of first semester for students with a shorter program timeframe).
Students may fulfill the IAPP requirement through the following opportunities:
- International Professional Service Semester
- Development Project Management Institute Practicum
- Winter term Practica
- Frontier Market Scouts Practicum
- International Internships
- Graduate Research Assistantships
- Customized IAPP integrated into academic course
For more ideas on how to fulfill this requirement, please visit the Monterey Abroad section or contact your Academic Advisor.
Electives (up to 12 credits)
To satisfy the elective course requirements for the MAIPS degree, students may take any GSIPM course that is not being counted toward any other graduation requirement, as long as they have completed the prerequisites for that course. Contact your assigned Academic Advisor for more information.
Language and Intercultural Competency (12 credits)
Language and Intercultural Studies program courses are offered in 7 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Japanese, Russian and Spanish. Additional languages are offered upon request. Through the Institute's renowned content-based instruction, students combine advanced-level language skills development with topics related to their graduate coursework/professional interests. Our Intercultural Competency offerings provide students the cross-cultural communication skills needed to pursue global career opportunities.
Students can choose to complete the 12-credit Language and Intercultural Competency (ICC) component by taking 8-12 credits of language courses in a single language, and up to 4 credits of ICC coursework. Students need to meet the minimum proficiency requirement in the language (200-level for Spanish and Arabic, 300-level for all other languages), demonstrated by taking a placement test.
International Trade Club
Learn about the MIIS International Trade Club, a student-run organization on campus. The MIIS International Trade Club seeks to foster communication among students, faculty, and the broader community on a variety of trade-related issues. Our goal is to construct a forum to bridge the gap between the academic and professional worlds, particularly in relation to the MIIS community.

Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.
Prom season is back, and a big question will be: how much skin is too much skin for a prom outfit?
Chicago Public Schools do not have a specific policy on the look of prom dresses and suits.
But individual schools are putting out messages like the one from Thornton Township High School in Harvey.
This year's theme is "A Romantic Night in Paris." But girls who try
to capture the look of their favorite Hollywood stars on the red carpet
may be disappointed. Excessive bare skin is out.
One Chicago woman who has spent years designing prom dresses for
those who cannot afford them, and she knows what schools don't want to
Barbara Bates said when a student asks for tops that drop too low -
or dresses slit up too high - she gives them a very clear message.
But some students FOX Chicago News spoke with said the trend of
skimpier "skin" dresses is actually going out of style, and it's being
replaced by more fabric.
But don't think boys are off the hook either. Thornton Township High
doesn't want the guys wearing jeans or gym shoes - even if the stars do
