The issue of international students' adaptation is being discussed all over the academic world. According to our observations, one of the best ways is to create an experimental platform for the implementation of effective ideas connected with the adaptation. We have called it the Club of International Friendship (CIF) "UNITY!" For this, 207 international students of our institute took part in the questionnaire. Our Club is aimed at overcoming any difficulties international students may have. Currently, we are analysing the process of co-adaptation, considering it as the critical element of effective inter-cultural integration.

Second Session of the Administrative Council: The second session of the Administrative Council of the International Telecommunications Union met in Geneva from January 20 to February 11, 1948 in accordance with a resolution adopted at the Council's first session at Atlantic City in September 1947. Chairman of the second session was Francis Colt de Wolf (United States) who was elected as interim chairman in place of Mr. Fortouchenko (USSR) who could not attend the meeting because of illness. Despite considerable initial difficulty the Council adopted approximately 35 resolutions, decisions, or opinions. Its most important administrative and financial decisions had to do with: 1) the budget of three million Swiss francs which had been set at Atlantic City and was approved by this session; 2) the transfer of the general secretariat of the Union from Beme to Geneva which, because of financial difficulties, was deferred until January 1, 1949; 3) the decision to transfer the secretariat and laboratories of the International Telephone Consultative Committee (CCIF) to Geneva as the expense of moving could be met by the CCIF itself. In addition the Council heard the reports of its various commissions and considered the relationship of ITU to other international organizations and conferences. The lack of coordination between the secretariats of ITU and the United Nations was noted, and the Union's Secretary-General directed to bring the matter to the attention of the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Somalia verfügt seit dem Sturz des Diktators Siad Barré im Januar 1991 über keine Regierung, die eine landesweite Kontrolle ausübt. Süd- und Zentralsomalia werden fortan von unübersichtlichen bewaffneten Konflikten zwischen Banden und Milizen erschüttert. Im nordwestlichen Somaliland bildeten sich 1991, in der nördlichen Region Puntland 1998 neue staatliche Strukturen von unten aus. Die internationale Gemeinschaft reagierte schnell auf den Zusammenbruch der staatlichen Ordnung und entsandte friedensunterstützende Missionen. Der Beitrag analysiert das internationale Krisenmanagement und geht dabei auf die Friedensmissionen und die Akteure ein. Betrachtet werden das Krisenmanagement seitens der internationalen Politik sowohl zu Land als auch zu See. Abschließend erfolgen Überlegungen zum innersomalischen Friedensprozess und zur Problematik der US-Militäraktionen. (ICB2)

Two stand-by arrangements were announced by the International Monetary Fund on September 23, 1960, one with the government of El Salvador, authorizing drawings up to the equivalent of $11.25 million for a period of six months in order to strengthen El Salvador's international reserve position prior to the marketing season for the country's cotton and coffee crops, and the other to Haiti, making available the equivalent of $6 million for a one-year period, in support of Haitian currency convertibility. El Salvador had made similar arrangements with the Fund in previous years and had repurchased in full any drawings made under these arrangements. The arrangement with Haiti was to become effective on October 1, 1960, at the expiration of Haiti's current $4-million agreement with the Fund established a year previously in connection with a stabilization program.

The eighth session of the International Wheat Council was reconvened in Washington from February 2 to April 13, 1953, and the eleventh session of the Council was also held in Washington from January 30 to April 2, 1953. On April 13, 1953, the Agreement Revising and Renewing the International Wheat Agreement was opened for signature. The agreement provided for the following sales of wheat for each of the ensuing three years: the United States, 270,174,615 bushels; Canada, 250,000,000 bushels; Australia, 75,000,000 bushels, with a clause providing for revision downward in the event of drought; and France, 367,347 bushels. The price range per bushel provided for in the new agreement was $1.55 to $2.05, as against $1.20 to $1.80 in the previous agreement. Britain objected to the maximum of $2.05, stating that $2.00 was a "generous settlement", and withdrew from the agreement.

The seventh session of the Administrative Council of the International Tele-communication Union met in Geneva from April 21 to June 6, 1952. The council studied the report of the Extraordinary Administrative Conference held at the end of 1951 in Geneva, considered that the conference had contributed greatly to the solution of the frequency assignment problem, accepted the extensive long-term responsibilities resulting from the agreements that the conference had adopted and decided to examine at each of its sessions until 1956 arrangements for the final implementation of the Atlantic City Frequency Allocation Table. Decisions were not unanimously taken, because a minority of the delegates were of the opinion that the principles adopted since 1948 for the preparation of a new international frequency list were "fallacious" and that the problem should be tackled from another angle.

The report of the International Telecommunication Union submitted to ECOSOC on June 11, 1951, was accompanied by a statement by the Secretary-General (Mulatier) in response to ECOSOC's resolution requesting all specialized agencies in the economic and social fields to review their programs with an eye to the concentration of all efforts and resources on the most urgent tasks. Noting that ITU's program of work was governed by the Atlantic City Convention (1947) and that the Union's 1952 activities would relate to its regular task of enabling its members to operate their international telecommunications services and to the holding of any conferences which might be essential for the performance of that task, the Secretary-General expressed the opinion that the program would not appear to include any activities of the kind contemplated in the ECOSOC resolution.
