JUSCANZ

The JUSCANZ Group is an informal, information-sharing coalition of like-minded countries at the United Nations Human Rights Council and other United Nations bodies, such as the Third and Fourth Committees.[1][2] In the United Nations Regional Grouping system, it is considered as a subsection of the Western European and Others Group (WEOG), as most of its members are members of that Group. Its aim is to counterbalance the sway of the European Union bloc in WEOG matters.

The name of the group is derived from the acronym of its founding members Japan, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.[3]

Role

The Group's role is mainly to act as a tool for information-sharing at the United Nations. Unlike the United Nations Regional Groups, JUSCANZ is not a policy-coordination mechanism.[4]

Members of the Group are not expected to reach consensus positions on issues. Rather, at JUSCANZ meetings, members meet to share information on the status of resolutions and to flag potential problems or issues for other delegations.[4]

Members of the Group

While membership of the group is not fixed, and its membership has varied throughout its history, the main members that have partaken in meetings of the Group include:[1][5]

History

On 22 January 2010, Israel was permitted to join the Group for sessions at the United Nations Office at Geneva, but not at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, nor at the other two major office sites of Vienna and Nairobi.[8]

On 11 February 2014, following intense lobbying, Israel was allowed to join the Group in all relevant United Nations Committees at Headquarters in New York.[9]

gollark: I wanted something to play varying music in my base, so I made this.https://pastebin.com/SPyr8jrh is the CC bit, which automatically loads random tapes from a connected chest into the connected tape drive and plays a random track. The "random track" bit works by using an 8KiB block of metadata at the start of the tape.Because I did not want to muck around with handling files bigger than CC could handle within CC, "tape images" are generated with this: https://pastebin.com/kX8k7xYZ. It requires `ffmpeg` to be available and `LionRay.jar` in the working directory, and takes one command line argument, the directory to load to tape. It expects a directory of tracks in any ffmpeg-compatible audio format with the filename `[artist] - [track].[filetype extension]` (this is editable if you particularly care), and outputs one file in the working directory, `tape.bin`. Please make sure this actually fits on your tape.I also wrote this really simple program to write a file from the internet™️ to tape: https://pastebin.com/LW9RFpmY. You can use this to write a tape image to tape.EDIT with today's updates: the internet→tape writer now actually checks if the tape is big enough, and the shuffling algorithm now actually takes into account tapes with different numbers of tracks properly, as well as reducing the frequency of a track after it's already been played recently.
gollark: https://pastebin.com/pDNfjk30Tired of communicating fast? Want to talk over a pair of redstone lines at 10 baud? Then this is definitely not perfect, but does work for that!Use `set rx_side [whatever]` and `set tx_side [whatever]` on each computer to set which side of the computer they should receive/transmit on.
gollark: https://pastebin.com/Gu2rVXL9PotatoPass, the simple, somewhat secure password system which will *definitely not* install potatOS on your computer.Usage instructions:1. save to startup or somewhere else it will be run on boot2. reboot3. run `setpassword` (if your shell does not support aliases, run it directly)4. set your password5. reboot and enjoy your useless password screen
gollark: https://pastebin.com/MWE6N15i```fixcrane```It's kind of like harbor, but designed as a bundler thing to pack code and libraries into a single file. Automatically minifies your code, and will compress it if that would shorten it - the output file will use a single-file VFS like harbor.
gollark: <@184468521042968577> You know, a structure of ```lua{ ["a/b/c"] = "hugeblank's bad code"}```would be better for writes and stuff but worse for listing.Also, you can convert paths to a "canonical form" with `fs.combine(path, "") `.
