The United Nations. Model Convention represents a compro- mise between the source principle and the residence principle, al- though it gives more weight to the source principle than does the OECD Model Convention. As a correlative to the principle of taxa- tion at source the articles of the Model Convention are predicated on the premise of the recognition by the source country that (a) taxation of income from foreign capital would take into account expenses al- locable to the earnings of the income so that such income would be taxed on a net basis, that (b) taxation would not be so high as to dis- courage investment and that (c) it would take into account the appro- priateness of the sharing of revenue with the country providing the capital. In addition, the United Nations Model Convention embodies the idea that it would be appropriate for the residence country to ex- tend a measure of relief from double taxation through either foreign tax credit or exemption as in the OECD Model Convention.

The United Nations. In April 1996, in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the International Court of Justice, a Colloquium was held with the theme “Increasing the Effec- tiveness of the International Court of Justice”.204 Among the topics discussed was the ways by which the Court could be equipped to deal with developing areas of international space law. Some of the proposals raised include a special Chamber for space law disputes, such as the one established for environmental law disputes. It was questioned whether this Chamber could have fast-track procedures, speedy interim measures, and standing for international organiza- tions. The questions of commercialization and non-State actors seemed to cast a pall on the utilization of the International Court as a forum for the settlement of dispute relating to outer space. However, it was correctly reiterated that the 204Peck, C. and Xxx, X.X., (eds.), Increasing the Effectiveness of the International Court of Justice: Proceedings of the ICJ/UNITAR Colloquium to Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Court, (1997) 64 G´erardine Meishan Goh International Court provided an available and perhaps sometime-suitable fo- rum for the settlement of disputes relating to outer space. The establishment of a new institutional framework for dispute settlement was recently discussed once more at the UNISPACE-III Technical Forum held in Vienna in July 1999.205 It was recommended that efficient machinery for the settlement of legal disputes arising in relating to space commercialization should be elaborated. This machinery should consider the existing arbitration rules used in international business practice between private enterprises and be- tween States and private enterprises in international commerce and investment within the framework of international economic law.206 The discussions at the UNISPACE-III Technical Forum on Space Law, July 1999207 on possible dispute settlement mechanisms in the field of international space law are a component of continuing deliberations on the issue. The Tech- nical Forum highlighted three main perspectives:

The United Nations. The UN in Nigeria is supporting the Government of Nigeria with coordination, preparedness, response and risk communication through the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19 Response. The guiding principles of engagement for national authorities and partners to respond to the pandemic, based on lessons learned in the HIV response, are the following (i) One agreed National COVID-19 Multi-Sectoral Pandemic Response Plan; (ii) One COVID-19 National Coordinating Authority with a broad-based multi-sector mandate; (iii) One COVID-19 monitoring and evaluation system. In response to the needs and priorities identified in the National COVID-19 Multi-Sectoral Pandemic Response Plan, the UN has developed a system-wide strategy with proposed areas of support to compliment Government’s COVID-19 response efforts. This strategy draws from the comparative advantage of each UN agency, including geographical coverage of ongoing programmes in the country to ensure impactful support. While most UN agencies are still in the process of re-aligning their internal programmes to specifically define areas of possible support, significant progress has already been made in complementing Government’s efforts.
