Canucks Sign Swedish Goaltender Joacim Eriksson
Thomas Drance
June 15 2013 09:25AM
The Canucks have reportedly signed Joacim Eriksson, probably the best European goalie on the market.
Photo Credit: Studio Eriksson Photography.
Last weekend, reports out of Sweden indicated that the Canucks were close to a signing an entry level deal with UMass-Lowell defenceman Christian Folin. Folin subsequently made like a PSA and stayed in school. But this weekend is different, it seems, as the Canucks look like they've actually landed a highly-touted Swedish born prospect in goaltender Joacim Eriksson according Swedish newspaper Noran by way of Pass it to Bulis.
Joacim Eriksson is twenty-three years old, so any entry-level deal the Canucks sign with him will be of the two year variety. Eriksson has put in two seasons of stellar play for Skellefteå over the last couple of years, including a dominant performance in the postseason as Eriksson his club to the Elitserien title in his most recent campaign.
Read past the jump for more.
Several teams, including the Canucks it would seem, have been in hot pursuit of Eriksson this offseason. It was apparent that Eriksson was close to inking a deal with an NHL club yesterday, and it looks like he's picked the Canucks. The Canucks have allowed prospects like Jonathan Iilhati and David Honzik to leave the system over the past couple years, so the signing of Eriksson is one that significantly bolsters the organization's depth in between the pipes.
Jonathan Willis recently described Ericsson as "the best European goalie still on the market" (following Chicago's signing of Antii Raanta), adding "Eriksson would be a contender for an NHL backup role but would likely start off in the number three role for a major league team."
Which, actually, kind of puts Eriksson in the same boat as current Canucks prospect Eddie Lack. Lack was probably the best goaltender playing outside in the National Hockey League in 2010-11 and 2011-12, but an injury derailed his most recent season. The Canucks obviously thought that Lack needed one more year of American Hockey League polish before joining the big league roster, which is presumably why they signed him to an odd two-year deal that was a two-way deal last season but will become a one-way deal for this upcoming one. That plan went sideways, however, when Lack was sidelined in the fall.
Ideally you'd have the luxury of giving Lack one more season, or at least a partial season, in the AHL before trusting him to spell Cory Schneider in twenty or so contests next year. But his contract makes that a bit tricky...
Just based on their respective contract status, I'd guess that Lack still has the inside track to be Vancouver's backup next season, while Eriksson is most likely to star in the Penticton Young Stars Tournament before being shipped out to Utica for most of the year where he'll battle with Joe Cannata for starts. If the Canucks don't pursue a veteran goaltender to replace the likely-to-be-traded-at-long-last Roberto Luongo, I wouldn't be surprised if the training camp battle between Eriksson and Lack turned out to be a hotly contested one...
June 15 2013, 10:39AM
Awesome! I love the way gillis is able to sign these free agents. I hope eriksson does well... This is great insurance if Lack's surgery ends up slowing him down long-term.
This looks very interesting. Our cupboards may be a bit bare for many positions, thank god goaltending is not one of them. I am liking the moves Gilles has been making for our future, now if he can just figure out the Lou/Schneids situation. I personally think/hope he trades Schneids, as it would probably fetch us a better return. Lou still has it in him to win a cup, and we have Lack that could back him up. Corey did great learning from Lou, I am sure Lack would as well. Great news, thanks Mr. Drance
I agree with @kobra. If you have two promising young goalies to push each other for a backup spot, and possibly be another 1b in a couple of years, why not trade Schneider? You'd automatically increase the number of teams interested (betcha Yzerman would be). Luongo is still good for at least three more years, and then could tandem with either Lack or Eriksson. What other trade bait would the Canucks have (besides Edler).
I'm betting Lack is putting just a little more effort into his training routine. Man sport is a tough gig
June 16 2013, 10:30AM
It makes so much sense to move Schneider instead of Luongo for all the above reasons. I think Gillis' first mistake (on a short list of mistakes) as GM was not moving Schneider when his value was high and before the "goalie controversy" started - like the 2011 deadline.
I think the only thing holding that move back now is Luongo. Would he report even if they moved Schneider? Or does he just want to be done with this team?
Clearly MG and Lu will be in close communications if MG were to make a #boldmove and trade Schneider instead. Being the consumate pro like he has been, I see no reason Lu would hold out if he knew Schneider was leaving. We've also seen Lu as a realist through this ordeal, he knows he isn't getting any younger, yet at this point he knows he still has much to offer. In 3-5 years, who knows, and it seems to me he understands that as well. People seem to want to paint Lu with the arrogant selfish me-first attitude, but I have no reason to believe that.
I'd argue Schneider's trade value is as high now as it was during the 2011 deadline. He has put together a solid, albeit shortened, season as a starter. He has 2 years left on a very reasonable 4M/yr contract.

A priest by the name of Valentine defied the law and continued to secretly marry the young soldiers who were in love.

It seems we are in the middle of yet another "situation," as my husband calls it, served up by Mother Nature. At present, we are right in the middle of the mess out at the farm. No electricity, no phone line, no heat and no water.
We can manage well enough inside with the fireplace, kerosene heater, camp stove, down comforter and strategic water rationing (with supplements brought in from town). Outside is a different story.
The ice storm and snow have left a path of downed trees and limbs.

Encinitas 2008 City Council Election Stuff and other Junks
photo credit
Here are links to all the local news I didn't have time to blog about this week:
Red County Blog: Mayor Jerome Stocks Pulls Papers for Re-election
Will Jerome's association with the much hated NCTD hurt him in November?
Logan Jenkins UT column: Encinitas has best of races in N. County
A decent roundup, but when Logan describes only Jerome Stocks and Doug Long as pro business it gives the subliminal message that the other candidates are not. Ironic considering candidate Bob Nanninga has matured into local small business's biggest advocate.
nctimes.com: ENCINITAS: City considers railroad pedestrian crossings
The Planning Commission wants to see less stark Soviet Union style design and more community character in the pedestrian tunnels. Translation=Let's install a children's art mosaic for the homeless to pee on.
nctimes.com: ENCINITAS: City council ties up loose ends before break
Alcohol consumption on public sidewalks downtown, opponents and proponents of a 2 percent transient occupancy tax on short-term rentals, also known as the "sand tax," will have until July 30 to file their statements, council approved an interim five-year plan fashioned by the city's Planning Commission and staff to keep a number of mature eucalyptus trees along North Vulcan Avenue for the time being, council members informally discussed how the council should proceed with updating, revising or eliminating a number of its policies. "Council member Teresa Barth said that many of the city's policies are out-of-date and don't address the electronic manner in which the city now conducts business. She also noted that a number of the city resolutions conflict with each other. Councilman Dan Dalager admonished the council not to be afraid to make cuts in city policies, and to err on the side of simplicity."
ENCINITAS: Suit filed against city over Pacific Station project
"Protect Encinitas Now is a group of residents who have banded together "to preserve the city's small and casual beach town character through the promotion of aesthetically pleasing and environmentally conscious development," the lawsuit states."
ENCINITAS: Leucadia Wastewater District customers may see rate hike
"The district board Wednesday will consider a proposed three-year, 10 percent rate hike for sewer customers. The increase would cost a typical residential homeowner about $20 more when sewer bills arrive in October, bringing an average bill to about $213. If approved, the rate increase would be assessed retroactively to July 1."

nctimes.com: ENCINITAS: Out-of-control vehicle causes chaos at car wash
an Olson's Hand Car Wash employee was driving a customer's Jeep Cherokee out of the car wash when he lost control of the vehicle. The Jeep struck a customer who was putting money in the tip box, then hit a Honda Civic with its driver and passenger and a fellow employee standing nearby. The Civic was pushed into the three people and then spun into an electrical transformer, knocking it off its base. The transformer, the Jeep and the Honda all caught fire. The Jeep also struck a guard rail, which then hit and damaged a parked Mercedes.
Aye Caramba! You couldn't do that if you planned ahead.

Good, informative post, JP. Thanks.ReplyDelete
People don't want underpasses. That was clear at last night's Planning Commission hearing. Now the City is calling the pedestrian walkways, to be undergrounded, "bridges." More BS.
Yes, underground the tracks, not the pedestrian walkways.
Randal Morrison made a ton of money on that billboard ordiance through all of his "billable hours." That is one thing that would have easily passed on the consent calendar; it only cleaned up language in pre-existing municipal code. City Attorney's lawfirm partner, Randall Morrison's specialty is signs. The reason the 1st Amendment comes in is because political signage is to be allowed, particularly on private property.
Has Maggie Houlihan "pulled" her election papers yet?
Check out today's Coast News. Two informative letters to the editor, expressing public sentiment against our current unelected mayor.
By the way, in the minutes, the Clerk had put in parenthesis, that opponents of the sand tax had until July 3 to file their paperwork. At this past Wednesday's Council Meeting she admitted that was a typo. I pulled the minutes and correctly noted that no mention of any deadline was made at the June 25th meeting, when Stocks, Bond and Dalager followed Aceti's request and put it on the ballot again, after it had just been defeated.
Bob Nanninga had asked that it not be put on the ballot until November, originally, but Council went ahead, before, and put it on the June ballot, with failing results.
Dan Dalager suddenly announced that Steve Aceti has resigned from the recently formed Environmental Committee. Apparently, there are conflict of interest problems with Aceti authoring the pro-sand tax arguments. He is a well known sand tax lobbyist and works in that capacity for the Californial Coastal Coalition, a rip-off name trying to pretend to sound like the Coastal Commission.
Stocks, Bond and Dalager had voted for Aceti to be on the Environmental Committee. Now there's an opening, and the City and private citizens will have to take up more valuable time to re-choose a new committee member.
The proclamations and presentations, including, seemingly the entire "operating plan" of the Fire Dept. go on endlessly before oral communications are heard. But Jerome Stocks arbitrarily makes certain people wait until the tail end of the Council Meeting to give oral communications, if there are more than five speakers at 3 minutes each. A minimum of half an hour should be allowed for general oral communications at the beginning of the meeting. Council and staff have absolutely no limitations on how long they can drone on. Neither did SANDAG last Wednesday. Some good info was offered, but encourage, don't discourage the general public to participate, Council.

So Jerry Stocks is going to run for re-election, hmmmmmm!?!?!ReplyDelete
Well this is one drunken roadside bum that won't be supporting you, Mr mayor!!!
NO SIR!! No way!!! NO HOW!!!
But I have the feeling I may need to relieve myself on your campaign signs. But only the signs in Leucadia, not that your supporters will have the guts to show your crap ass signs in this part of town!!!

On the ENC website, I came across a survey the city paid to have done last year. The biggest concerns were roads, traffic and growth. The was one vote to ban smoking at the beach, but no one listed toy lighters or plastic bags. Why bother having a survey if policy has nothing to do with the results?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 18, 2008 4:40 PM
Two things I dislike about Encinitas:ReplyDelete
1. Billboards whos companies cut down trees
2. Jerome Stocks for crapping on Encinitas so often.
Check out http://encinitastaxpayers.org/blog/index.php?blog=3&s=survey or click my name.
The survey was fluff and a waste of money.

Has anyone noticed that since about the end of May traffic congestion is much less on Coast Hwy 101 and other roads in the City. Traffic backups on the freeway are almost non existent now and remind me of how the traffic was in the 1980's. It seems that the extra lanes that Caltrans just added on the freeway especially for those getting on at Manchester might be the reason. I doubt that it is because of the price of gas because traffic congestion on the I-15 is still the same.ReplyDelete

anon 7:29,ReplyDelete
Those improvements definitely are helpful. It is too bad it won't be a sustained reprieve. Ask Jerome how much more upzoning he has in mind for us.
The improvements don't take all the credit. Traffic volumes did significantly fall in I5 traffic. Economy, gas prices, global warming walkers, change in student summer driving patterns? Something caused the fall. Something is reducing trips on the freeways.
- AnonymousJuly 18, 2008 8:48 PM
The backup from the merge at Manchester is no more. I-5 has essentially gone from 3.5 lanes southbound to 5 lanes southbound. No more mess with merging drivers at Manchester in that outside lane blocking the semis trying to climb the grade. They have that new extra outside lane all to themselves until they get to Lomas Santa Fe. Coast Hwy is like a ghost town now in the morning through Leucadia.ReplyDelete

Half the McMansions in Carlsbad have been foreclosed on and the Hummer gas tanks are dry. Less cut thru traffic for Leucadia and Cardiff.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 18, 2008 11:45 PM
The new lanes in Solana Beach cleared Solana Beach I5 and had no effect on I5 traffic through Encinitas. It did nothing for the crunch in Encinitas. The sole reason the gridlock is gone is traffic volume on I5 is down dramatically.ReplyDelete
Down because of no more construction traffic and high priced gas.
Since HW101 no longer experiences I5 cut through traffic, its time to reduce the southbound lane to one lane and use the area for bikelanes, Parking, Landscaping and walkways. We don't need or want 2 lanes southbound. The traffic pavement area should be used for more needed improvements.
- Don't get fooled againJuly 18, 2008 11:46 PM
The traffic has gotten lighter due to high gas prices, not because of the extra lanes. I have many friends who drive the county for a living and it is happening all over, not just in our neck of the woods. Once people make the adjustment to higher prices and cut discretionary spending somewhere else, those cars will be back with a vengence, maybe just not the Hummers.ReplyDelete
As for Stocks, anyone who votes him back in is stupid. He has done more harm to this City than even Guerlinda managed to. But what do you expect from a Red County Bushite Braying Boozo -- I can't wait for November. Stocks self serving pandering drool in the news made me puke.
- Prudence and PatienceJuly 19, 2008 8:23 AM
Traffic volume is down everywhere. These are statistics from Caltrans. Ridership is up on the Coaster. Another car is being added to many trains It is all due to the high gas prices, the economy moving into or already in recession, reduced consumer activity, rising unemployment, reduced construction, and many home foreclosures.ReplyDelete
We don't ever drive the I-15 corridor. We find it difficult to believe traffic volume has not been reduced. Temecula has a very high foreclosure rate. Traffic volume is down on I-5. It is also noticeable south of I-8. It's not just North County. The work between Via de la Valle and Manchester has helped to relieve the constriction at that point.
Jerome Stocks isn't pro-business. He voted to screw Henry's and the other nearby existing businesses. Even the Chamber is unhappy. Let's all vote him out of office.
Nanninga is pro environment, pro business, pro community. He has my vote. As does Rachelle Collier.ReplyDelete
Jerome Stocks is history!

Behavioral Antitrust

Indiana Law Journal, Vol. 86, 2010
University of Tennessee Legal Studies Research Paper No. 106
Competition policy is entering a new age. Interest in competition laws has increased world-wide, and the United States no longer holds a monopoly on antitrust policy. In the aftermath of the financial crisis, the question for competition authorities is whether and to what extent does bounded rationality, self-interest and willpower matter. This article explores how the behavioral economics literature will advance competition policy. With increasing interest in the United States and abroad in the implications of behavioral economics for competition policy, this Article first provides an overview of behavioral economics. It next discusses how the assumption of rational, self-interested profit maximizers became so embedded in competition policy. The Article then discusses to what extent the behavioral economics literature can inform antitrust policies, and provides several recommendations related to the practical application of behavioral economics to competition policy going forward.

Super-cute with small downfalls
"I love these shoes! They're a perfect addition to some boyfriend jeans, maxi skirts/dresses, and even jus some cute shorts! Also the neon green bottoms is a great pop of color! However, they do run a bit big around the ankles so I would reccommend possibly getting half a size down. Also the neon greeen bottoms get really dirty fast, which can make your shoes look a bit older than they are."

|In response to Re: finding a sewer line
thanks guys. we're working on the "witching the rod" thing right now. we're going to try digging a few more holes. we got some help from the parish (county) but not enough to get an exact location. we never did find a cleanout! go figure.
i'll let you know if we find it without totally destroying our yard! oh - by the way - we think there are 2 3" pipes that lead from each side of the house and tie in to a 4" pipe in the front yard. can we tie the new plumbing in to the 3" pipe - or should we tie it in to the 4" ? it would be much more convenient for us to tie it in to the 3". thanks
: Dale,
: but do try the coat hanger trick yourself, just for fun, it works. (note: trouble is, it can even pick up over head pipes)
: : terry is right on witching with a rod but for some peaple a brass rod will work and others a coat hanger will work,also with some peaple the rod will go out and if you are standing over the pipe with the pipe running between your legs the rod will cross.type neg blood and pos blood are my opinion as to the difference. but if you know of someone who has a cable locator ,like me, then they can put a cable down the vent line ,out to yard and then put the locator on it. walla, there you go.

Don't be alarmed.
Carrie Underwood's not ailing. But she is giving a big thumbs up for her much-needed oxygen.
The country superstar wasn't with hubby Mike Fisher on Valentine's Day because she was performing in Broomfield, Colo.
"In high altitudes, they put oxygen in my dressing room under the stage! This is me before the encore," Underwood wrote as she shared this photo.
She later tweeted, "Thanks, Colorado, for the wonderful energy over the last two shows! I can always tell when I'm in a great place full of great people."
Underwood also sounded happy on Thursday — even though she didn't go the Mariah Carey route on the romantic holiday (with bubbles, balloons, a carriage ride and kisses).
"I got to my hotel room this morning to find roses from my sweet Valentine waiting for me," Underwood tweeted. "I am such a lucky lady! Happy V-Day everyone!"

800: Beautiful Dream
|Beautiful Dream
Title text: Lucky. In MY dream, all the people who grew up loving The Giving Tree paired up with all the students who had weird dreams after reading The Metamorphosis. That one was more confusing.
[edit] Explanation
The Rules is a reference to the book that is pretty clear when you read the sub-title: "Time-Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right". And naturally, The Game is also given away by the sub-title: "Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists". There is some social commentary there about how the men's book is about pickup artists and the women's book is about "finding Mr. Right." The joke here being that these two groups get together and stop bothering normal people with ideas on dating which some might find annoying.
The title text takes a surrealist step with Cueball's response to Megan. The Giving Tree is a children's book by Shel Silverstein about the relationship between a tree and a young boy who grows to be an old man. The Metamorphosis is a work of fiction by Franz Kafka in which a travelling salesman wakes up to find that he has been turned into a nondescript giant bug.
[edit] Transcript
- [Megan with disheveled hair stretches her arms. A sunburst indicating sleepiness is above her head.]
- Megan: I just woke up
- [Megan continues speaking from off panel, to Cueball who's sitting at a table with a laptop and cup. He's leaned his elbow on the chair, turning to face Megan.]
- Megan: from the most beautiful dream.
- Cueball: Which was?
- Megan: All the girls who read and follow The Rules and all the guys who swear by the techniques in The Game paired off with each other and left the rest of us alone forever.
- Cueball: Mmmmmm...

Where to see an exclusive Jurassic World 4K Ultra HD clip
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: HDTV, Home Entertainment, Movies
When Jurassic Park was originally released back when I was a kid, I thought it was one of the best movies I had ever seen (in fact, it probably was, given my young age!) Seeing dinosaurs look so realistic was something you had to see, and the only way to truly experience the scope of the movie and the details in the CGI was to see it in a movie theater.
Now, here we are some 22 years later, and fourth movie in the series, Jurassic World, is set to be released in a week-and-a-half. Television technology has evolved to the point where the home viewing of today rivals the cinema experience of yesteryear. Last night I took a trip over to Best Buy so that I could check out the exclusive Jurassic World clip being shown on Samsung SUHD Ultra 4K television sets.

Best Buy in-store events offering first-hand look at 4K Ultra HD
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, HDTV, Home Entertainment
Television manufacturers like Samsung, LG, Sony, and Vizio are betting big on 2015 being a breakout year for Ultra HD 4K televisions. If you're unfamiliar, 4K TVs deliver video content at 2160p. That's 3840×2160 pixels, which means it's hitting you with 4x the resolution of the 1080p (1920x1080 pixels) set you're likely already used to. Streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, and YouTube are already pumping out 4K content, with more to come. It all may sound great, but it's really something you need to see for yourself to believe—luckily, Best Buy is ready to give you that up-close and personal look.

Sling TV, the service that streams live TV to customers, has launched on Xbox One this morning, making it the first game console to provide access to Sling TV subscribers. The Xbox One joins Roku and Fire TV devices, Android, iOS, Macs, and PCs in providing Sling TV support.

"Today's Xbox One customers have been some of the most passionate about Sling TV since the beginning, and now we're pleased to bring them live TV on their favorite gaming console."
Specific Xbox One features for Sling TV include the ability to use Kinect gestures and voice commands to control the app, and the ability to Snap Sling TV besides other activities. Current Xbox One owners who download the app will receive one month of Sling TV for free. If you buy an Xbox One between March 17 and March 25, 2015, you'll get three free months of Sling TV service to try out.
In addition to the Xbox One news, Dish Network's streaming television service is also announcing a bunch of new channels that are now available to subscribers.

The bolster dimensions are perfect, and the loop is very handy. The quality of the materials ad manufacturing appear to be very good.
my clients love my bolster and I've placed orders for them as well.
I just received the NRG jumbo half round bolster and have used it. It works great! The only thing I'd change is the handle,I'd have the handle at both ends. It would make it easier to handle. Love the handle on this one compared to my last one, this one the handle goes across the end, doesn't dangle as a loop...my last one (not this nrg jumbo) the handle tore away & ripped the vinyle.

SC: Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict
Statement by
H.E. Mr. Karel J.G.van Oosterom
Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of the Netherlands
to the United Nations
UNSC Open Debate
Agenda item: Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict
Madam President,
Allow me to express my government's appreciation for the Argentinian Presidency for putting "Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict" on the agenda for this open debate. Those caught up in conflicts need our attention, they need the attention of our governments; they need the attention of the United Nations. I align myself with the statement made by the EU and thank the SG of the UN as well as the representatives of OCHA, OCHR and ICRC for their valuable briefings.
Madam President, yesterday I spent some time at Roosevelt Island, across the water from the UN building. The Roosevelt Park, visible from the delegates lounge down the hall, is dedicated to the famous Four Freedoms speech of President Roosevelt. He looked forward to a world based on four crucial freedoms; freedom of speech, of worship and freedom from want. The fourth freedom was freedom from fear, anywhere in the world.
That vision should inspire our deliberations today. The essence of protection of civilians in armed conflicts is that it should lead to freedom from fear for the civilians involved. My government sees three key elements in realizing this ambition: prevention, protection and prosecution.
Madam President
Let me begin with prevention. For my government, international Rule of Law is the basis for international relations. As our Minister of Foreign Affairs, Frans Timmermans recently said: "The promotion of the international legal order is enshrined in the Dutch constitution."
Article 33 of the UN Charter on the pacific settlement of disputes is paramount. Next week we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Peace Palace in The Hague, legal capital of the world. We commemorate the significant ways in which the ICJ contributes to international peace and stability through peaceful settlement of conflicts.
Implementation of international human rights instruments, both legal and other, must be strengthened. We welcome the New Deal for fragile states.
To make prevention truly effective, national judicial institutions should be so strong as to have a preventive effect. More states must support international mechanisms and institutions that offer protection to civilians. Knowing that their acts will not go unpunished, hopefully those capable of the worst crimes will be deterred from committing atrocities.
Madam president,
If prevention fails, we need to bring Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict into practice. This is a duty for all parties involved, primarily for the state and warring factions, but also for peace keeping forces. In peacekeeping operations, we should pay increased attention to the position of the civilian people in armed conflict. Security Council resolutions mandating peace keeping operations should reflect that moral imperative.
We must increase our efforts to implement Security Council Resolution 1325 in order to protect vulnerable women in armed conflict. In building peace, we must take women seriously. We must include their views and interests in political agreements and peace keeping operations.
We welcome the progress DPKO has made in this regard and encourage cooperation with UN Women.
All these actions should help provide protection to women and should contribute to combating sexual and gender based violence in conflict areas.
The Netherlands continues to champion the global principle of Responsibility to Protect, and we call upon all member states to join this worthy cause. We welcome the report of the Secretary General for 2013.
Madam President
If prevention and protection fail, accountability and prosecution should come into view. Therefore information gathering during conflicts is essential as it creates a basis for prosecution. Statistics and data on lives lost, women raped, children killed, and schools burned make for horrible reading.
But they do create a basis for accountability and for bringing the perpetrators to justice, either at the national or international level. For this reason, the Netherlands is co-funding the Center for Civilians in Armed Conflict to set up civilian harm tracking mechanisms in Mali.
Let me reiterate the words of concern as voiced by the EU about the situation in Syria. Those responsible for the crimes committed in that country should be held accountable and should be brought before a court. We renew our call to the Syrian authorities to allow full and unfettered access to the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
The Netherlands is honored to host the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre in The Hague. This important Centre is funded by more than 40 states and organizations.
It employs a non-partisan approach and reaches out to many Syrian individuals, communities and organizations and works closely with many international actors. This data gathering creates a basis for accountability and therefore is crucial long term work for the protection of civilians.
Ultimately, in specific cases, the International Criminal Court can bring justice to civilians harmed by armed conflict.
Madam President
Summing up: protection of civilians is closely related to prevention as well as to prosecution. Let us work closely together in applying these three aspects in a comprehensive approach. Together we can realize freedom from fear for civilians in conlict areas.
Let our common endeavors be inspired by our view across the East River of the Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park.
Thank you for your attention.
NEW YORK, 19 August 2013
