The first part of the 20th session of the Economic and Social Council was held in Geneva from July 5 through August 5,1955; Sir Douglas Copland (Australia) continued as president of the Council. The second part of the 20th session was scheduled to take place during or shortly after the tenth regular session of the General Assembly. At the opening meeting a discussion was held on adoption of the sessional agenda;1 a proposal by the United Kingdom delegate that a coordination committee be established to deal with matters of detail that might arise under item four of the agenda, general review of the development and coordination of the economic, social and human rights programs and activities of the UN and the specialized agencies as a whole, was adopted. The United Kingdom representative also proposed that consideration of 1) the status and functions of the Interim Coordinating Committee for International Commodity Arrangements and 2) the status and functions of the Commission on International Commodity Trade be postponed until the 21st session; the proposal was adopted by a vote of 10 to 5 with 3 abstentions. Also at its opening meeting the Council agreed it would decide at a later meeting whether or not to include in the provisional agenda the question of Spain becoming a party to the protocols of 1946 and 1948 on narcotic drugs. The agenda, as amended, was adopted unanimously, and fifteen of the nineteen agenda items were discussed at the first part of the session.

Background/Aim. Opto-magnetic imaging spectroscopy (OMIS) was used as a novel method to determine tissue molecular conformation changes during hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. The aim of this study was to examine the usefulness of OMIS for the assessment of HBO therapy effectiveness on the diseased tissue. Method. OMIS is concerned with obtaining paramagnetic/diamagnetic properties of materials, related to the presence of unpaired/paired electrons based on their interaction with visible light. The basic tool is light of wavelength in the range between 400 nm and 700 nm and its interaction with tissue. The study included 22 subjects: 16 angiopathy patients and 6 healthy subjects as the control group. OMIS was used with patients on the 1st, 10th and 20th session and with the control group on the 1st, 10th and 20th day without HBO therapy in between. Results. The obtained results showed that healthy skin of all the control group subjects had the same shape curve. In the angiopathy patient group, before the first session OMIS showed tissue disorder and after the last session results resembled more closely the results in healthy tissue. The differences in the tissue state in the angiopathy group before each session were noticeable, showing normalized tissue under the influence of HBO. Conclusion. The results showed that OMIS could be used as a diagnostic tool for detection of the tissue state before and after the HBO therapy.

The Hague Convention

On 30 June 2005 a Convention to respect choice of court agreements was finally born. The Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements aspires to be parallel to the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (1958) (‘New York Convention’). The exception is that if an equally broadly accepted convention exists with respect to choice of court agreements,1 business parties will have an alternative to choosing arbitration in their contracts. If they have the assurance that a judgement will be recognized and enforced in a large number of States, some might be more inclined to insert a choice of court clause instead of an arbitration clause. This assumption has been confirmed by ICC research.2

20Th Session

The Economic and Social Council resumed its 20th session at UN Headquarters with its 894th meeting on December 5, and concluded the session with its 899th meeting on December 15. The Council formulated its basic program of work for 1956, considered and with minor changes approved the provisional agenda for its 21st session which had been drawn up by the Secretary-General, and adopted a draft list of items for the 22d session, which it planned to review at the 21st session. The Council dealt as follows with questions arising out of the tenth session of the General Assembly: 1) it decided that in the course of considering the general agenda item financing of economic development at its 22d session, it would deal with the establishment of the Special United Nations Fund for Economic Development (SUNFED), the international flow of private capital, and international tax problems, as sub-items; 2) it approved without discussion the Secretary-General's proposals relating to advisory services in the field of human rights;1 and 3) it approved without objections the Secretary-General's proposals with regard to the administration of programs of technical assistance. The question of re-establishing the Council's discontinued Economic, Employment and Development Commission was considered at the resumed 20th session, as were its terms of reference in the event that it should be reactivated. A number of representatives held the view that the functions performed by the Commission had been assigned to other bodies, and that revival of the Commission would lead to overlapping and inefficiency; it was also argued that while a commission of experts had been invaluable in the planning stage of economic development, governmental representation, as in the case of the Council's other commissions, could be more effective in the stage of actual operations.

IntroductionThe general air criothepapy - the method of short-term assignment of warmth from all surface body of the patient by a laminar stream dry air, temperature from −110 to −120 °C. Such influence is stressful for a human.AimsEstimation level changes cortisol at patients in the course of treatment in ultralow temperature in conditions criochamber.MethodsResearches have been spent with use criochamber «Zimmer Mеdizin Systeme» (Germany). In research has taken part 145 peoples. Duration of sessions influence of ultralow temperature made in the first day of 0,5 mines, then, increasing by 0,5 mines daily and reached 3,0 minute durations by 6–7 day of a course. The course crio influence made 20 sessions. Level cortisol blood was defined once a week after each 5 sessions with the analyzer «Biotec ЕL 800».ResultsLevel cortisol before carrying out criotherapy at patients averaged 436 ± 26,6 nmol/l, after carrying out 5 sessions crio influence its values have been fixed at level - 420 ± 21,05 nmol/l, after 10th session level cortisol has on the average decreased to values - 401 ± 21,05 nmol/l, after 15 sessions to - 391 ± 21,5 nmol/l. After course end crio influence the average level cortisol has made 365 ± 31,5 nmol/l that was authentic more low, than indicator reference values (р < 0,05).ConclusionsIn the course crio influence there was a gradual decrease in level cortisol that speaks about decrease in stress at these persons, and also about human body adaptation to ultralow temperature influence at such a mode to 20th session.

20Th Session

On 19 May 2006, France, Ireland, Spain and the United Kingdom deposited a joint submission with the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (the Commission) concerning the continental shelf extending beyond 200 nautical miles out into the Bay of Biscay and the Celtic Sea. The Commission was established under Annex II of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This was the sixth submission received by the Commission, but the first such joint submission made by a group of coastal States.1 The Commission's task is to make recommendations on the outer limits of the continental shelf, not to delimit the boundaries of the continental shelf among the four coastal States. That will be done by the four States themselves through consultation and negotiation after the Commission has made its recommendations. The Commission began consideration of the joint submission at its 18th session which began on 21 August 2006 at the UN Headquarters in New York. The Sub-Commission that it appointed to examine the joint submission in detail has held a number of hearings with the four delegations—in August 2006, and January and March 2007. It is not expected to transmit its recommendations to the full Commission until the 20th session beginning in August 2007.
