Many conflicts are sparked by a failure to protect human rights, and the trauma that results from severe human rights violations often leads to new human rights violations. As conflict intensifies, hatred accumulates and makes restoration of peace more difficult. In order to stop this cycle of violence, states must institute policies aimed at human rights protection. Many believe that the protection of human rights "is essential to the sustainable achievement of the three agreed global priorities of peace, development and democracy. "Respect for human rights has therefore become an integral part of international law and foreign policy. The specific goal of expanding such rights is to "increase safeguards for the dignity of the person. [

Originally the idea of the late U. S. Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown, the TransAtlantic Business Dialogue(TABD) was conceived to promote closer commercial ties between the U. S. and European Union. Brown, together with his counterparts in the European Commission, Martin Bangemann and Sir Leon Brittan, created the dialogue system as a mechanism to encourage public and civil society input to fostering a more closely integrated transatlantic marketplace. The dialogue system, which includes separate dialogues for consumers, environment and business, was a key part of the governments’ 1995 New Transatlantic Agenda(NTA), which laid out a plan to enhance overall transatlantic economic and political relations. The TABD's goal is to help establish a Barrier-Free Transatlantic Market which will serve as a catalyst for global trade liberalisation and prosperity. Unified markets are needed to create a business environment which will stimulate innovation and economic growth, more investment and create new jobs.

PGA works to link individual legislators across borders and party lines, with the goal of strengthening their capacity to pursue international peace, social justice and development. Parliamentarians for Global Action(PGA) was established in 1978-1979 in Washington, DC, U. S. A. by concerned parliamentarians from around the world to address global problems, which could not be solved by any one government or parliament. While its initial focus was on disarmament and the prevention of nuclear proliferation, PGA today works on an expanded list of global issues such as fostering democracy, conflict prevention and management, international law and human rights, population and sustainable development.

Interest in marine dissolved organic matter(DOM) is very high because it plays an important role in oceanic and global carbon cycling, which in turn impacts weather. Understanding the processes involved in the transformations of carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen, and other major elements in the oceans has been a primary goal of marine biogeochemists and oceanographers over the past decade.

Making global measurements of ocean temperature and salinity(T-S) quickly and easily accessible to users is the primary goal of the Global Temperature-Salinity Profile Program(GTSPP). A cooperative international project, the GTSSP seeks to develop and maintain a global ocean T-S resource with data that are both up-to-date and of the highest quality possible. Both real-time data transmitted over the Global Telecommunications System(GTS), and delayed-mode data received by the NODC are acquired and incorporated into a continuously managed database. Countries contributing to the project are Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, and the United States.

The Global Precipitation Climatology Project(GPCP) is an element of the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment(GEWEX) of the World Climate Research Program(WCRP). It was established by the WCRP in 1986 with the initial goal of providing monthly mean precipitation data on a 2. 5 x 2. 5 degree latitude-longitude grid for the period 1986-1995. This was recently extended to the year 2000. The GPCP will accomplish this by merging infrared and microwave satellite estimates of precipitation with rain gauge data from more than 30, 000 stations.
