Mr. Tarar (Pakistan) said that his Government appreciated the alacrity with which UNHCR had responded to the earthquake in Pakistan.

The ordinary courts are presented as corrupt, incompetent and incapable of responding to the military apos s speed and alacrity in dealing with the issues that occasioned their being set up .

The affected countries were initially caught unawares by what was a relatively new phenomenon for them, but have since responded with varying degrees of alacrity through different measures that have had variable success.

Governments agree with alacrity to take measures to protect children, as shown by the almost universal acceptance of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in such a short period of time.

We need to make sure that we're a little bit suspicious, that we understand that optimism is in the DNA of the military, that we don't respond to it with quite as much alacrity.

We need to make sure that we're a little bit suspicious, that we understand that optimism is in the DNA of the military, that we don't respond to it with quite as much alacrity.

It was therefore surprising that, in the face of human tragedy that was unfolding in the Great Lakes region, the competent international machinery had not reacted with the requisite alacrity in order to deploy in the area a peacekeeping force that would prevent an escalation of the crisis.

US Secretary of State John Kerry s heat of the moment comment that a military strike on Syria could be avoided if all chemical weapons were turned over was a diplomatic gift to Russia, and it responded with alacrity. Not usually noted for its diplomatic dexterity, the Kremlin quickly proposed compelling Syrian President Bashar al Assad s regime to join the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), and to place its chemical weapons stockpile under United Nations control.

The ECB should act with greater alacrity not because there are increased prospects for future growth, but for the opposite reason the fear that European growth will slow, thus limiting the possibility for future rate hikes. Indeed, even before the sudden downturn in the US economy, a growing number of members of the ECB s Governing Council already had come to the conclusion that accelerating the pace of interest rate increases was needed if its goal of monetary neutrality was to be achieved.
