Belize continues to be plagued by an anachronistic claim to its territory from our neighbour Guatemala.

In adapting the Security Council to the new international realities, we must avoid strengthening its anachronistic aspects.

In particular, it is high time to eliminate the anachronistic enemy clauses in Articles 53 and 107 of the Charter.

How can we talk about improvement if we can reconcile ourselves to such anachronistic phenomena as neo slavery and human trafficking?

The report of the Special Committee (A 60 380), however, presented a biased and anachronistic picture of the situation in the region.

The achievement concerning the responsibility to protect makes the absence of a reference to the issue of impunity in the World Summit Outcome even more anachronistic.

Ms. Banks (New Zealand) New Zealand has said many times in the General Assembly Hall that the current structure of the Security Council is unrepresentative and anachronistic.

Like other countries of the Non Aligned Movement, African States have always considered the veto as an anachronistic, unfair and completely unjustified right, and have therefore demanded its outright abolition.

A rising China, a resurgent Japan, an assertive Russia, and an anachronistic North Korea have added new complexities and uncertainties to the region. The latter s pursuit of nuclear arms is particularly worrying.

In that connection, I would like to remind the Assembly that, since 1976, African countries have adopted a position of principle against the right of the veto, viewing it as anti democratic, unfair and anachronistic.

Since citizens militias are anachronistic, gun owners now use the second amendment merely to defend individual gun ownership, as if that somehow offers protection against tyranny. A reckless, right wing Supreme Court has agreed with them.

With respect to the anachronistic enemy State clauses, I am pleased to note that the leaders resolved in the outcome document (resolution 60 1) to delete these obsolete clauses from the Charter at the earliest opportunity.

The organisation of several events on mental health all over the country dealing with the issue of the modernization of mental health services, which involves less large anachronistic psychiatric hospitals and their substitution by mental health community services.

It is a myth that has helped fuel wars and may hinder finding solutions to the world s biggest problems. Though the origin of this myth is cloudy, science has proven its falsity, and a globalized world has rendered it anachronistic.

It is anachronistic to hold onto a cold war mentality, advocate a pre emptive strategy, list other countries as targets for nuclear strike, lower the threshold for using nuclear weapons or develop new types of nuclear weapons for specific purposes.

They were not discouraged by his ambivalent perception of them (by turns celebrating their traditional domesticity and glorifying their sexual objectification). But Italian society has changed most women are now working, and they are no longer willing to accept Belusconi s anachronistic and outrageous chauvinism.

Ever since its founding, the People s Republic of China has adhered to a foreign policy of non interference in other country s internal affairs or so it claims. But with China s rapid ascent and ever closer integration with the outside world, this doctrine has become increasingly anachronistic.

More fundamentally, no one should think that North Korea s totalitarian communist system can be changed overnight. No one inside or outside can remove its anachronistic dynastic communist regime, and no outsider can hope to modify quickly the policy behavior of its fossilized military, party, and administrative bureaucrats.

Indeed, we are increasingly confronted with outdated information taken out of context, from anachronistic news stories to emotional e mails and compromising pictures that we had long ago forgotten. For example, more and more employers are researching job applicants through Google and social networking Web sites.

In Libya, the regime s founding myth is inextricably linked to Qaddafi s 1969 coup and his eclectic political theories. His departure would expose the anachronistic nature of the state s ideological foundation family ties will do nothing to protect his successor from the resulting shock to the system.

Among the main pillars of the draft resolution is the call for the elimination of the right of veto for all, current and potential permanent members of the Security Council alike, as an anachronistic and undemocratic practice that does not correspond to the spirit of our times.

On the contrary, the Islamic world left the Palestinians without real support for decades. In reality, for them the conflict has come to symbolize the anachronistic perpetuation of an unfair colonial order, to represent their political malaise, and to embody the perceived impossibility of their being masters of their destiny.

Why keep such an anachronistic construct alive when the world is no longer frozen into two ideologically antagonistic blocs? Furthermore, given the proliferation of strategic partnerships that claim many NAM members (India, for example, has strategic partnerships with the United States, Japan, and Brazil), are the non aligned really still non aligned?

Against this background, it seems anachronistic to consider the possibility of establishing anything like a unified currency in Asia, where institutional disparities are far deeper, and the variety of economic shocks far greater, than in Europe. To hope for a unified currency in Asia seems almost like hoping for the region s own Greek crisis.

Of course, one can say that the Islamic State s dream of restoring a Sunni caliphate is as anachronistic as Putin s neo imperial ambition. One can also say that both Putin and the Islamic State have drawn much of their strength from the West s weakness, particularly its failure to have enforced clear and credible limits to their actions.

And presidents like Brazil s Dilma Rousseff, Mexico s Enrique Peña Nieto, and Argentina s Cristina Fernández de Kirchner are sticking to their orthodox, conservative, and anachronistic stances, unwilling to budge until public opinion leaves them no other choice. Yet something is stirring in the hemisphere as its marijuana moments arrive with greater frequency, can a milestone be far off?

Similarly, while Alan García won in Peru, he does not come from a hard left party that has finally seen the light (like Lula da Silva in Brazil, Michelle Bachelet in Chile, and Tabaré Vázquez in Uruguay). His APRA party, founded by Victor Raúl Haya de la Torre in the 1920 s, is one of the region s oldest and most anachronistic populist organizations.

Nowadays, only two groups remain immersed in an anachronistic struggle the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC), the larger, older, and better funded of the two, and the National Liberation Army (ELN). After winning the presidency in 2002, Álvaro Uribe vowed to defeat the guerrillas who have added terrorism to their repertoire mounting an offensive that employed all of the power of the state and its law enforcement authorities.

Of course, the ambition today cannot be to recreate that world (or to reestablish an anachronistic Westphalian order of religious separation), but rather to devise a new order predicated on different assumptions. Indeed, one of the keys to our current global disorder is that, in contrast to the Congress of Vienna or, for that matter, the parties of 1648 the international system s main actors are not united by a common will to defend the status quo.

The West, too, has fallen into the trap of nostalgia, clinging to a late twentieth century conception of order in which it makes the rules and can choose whether to follow them. The latest example of this anachronistic perspective is America s ham fisted (not to mention failed) attempt to stem support for the China led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, after repeatedly refusing to provide a greater voice for the world s emerging powers in the Bretton Woods institutions.

Second, the Labor party has proven politically bankrupt, with its only conceivable leader being the 82 year old Shimon Peres and its anachronistic dovish optimism the source of much ridicule. As a result and helped by low voter turnout the party s leadership primary was won by Amir Peretz, an outsider and populist who wants to revitalize Labor by putting social and economic issues at the forefront, which means withdrawing from the national unity coalition with Likud.
