Contextual background Clause Samples

The 'Contextual background' clause provides essential information about the circumstances, history, or motivations leading up to the agreement. It typically outlines relevant facts, prior dealings, or the broader context in which the contract is being formed, helping both parties understand the reasons behind specific terms. By establishing this background, the clause ensures that the intentions and expectations of the parties are clear, reducing the risk of misunderstandings or disputes over interpretation.
Contextual background. The IACtHR and the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights are the main organs of the Inter-American system of Human Rights, which monitor the compliance of States Parties with their obligations to the Inter-American Convention on Human Rights of 1979 (Pact of San ▇▇▇▇)175. This system of human rights protection appears as a response to the countless atrocities that have occurred in the Americas in the past centuries, and to the struggle of peoples against their governments176. (1) of the Inter-American Convention concerning reparations provides as follows: 1. If the Court finds that there has been a violation of a right or freedom protected by this Convention, the Court shall rule that the injured party be ensured the enjoyment of his right or freedom that was violated. It shall also rule, if appropriate, that the consequences of the measure or situation that constituted the breach of such right or freedom be remedied and that fair compensation be paid to the injured party.” The IACtHR, since its first proceedings, has cultivated a far-reaching jurisprudence on reparations which elaborates on many concepts that are omnipresent in every system of reparation and which can be taken into account for the development of reparation principles within the ICC. Thus, the present study examines the jurisprudence of the Inter- American system of human rights through the lens of principles and concepts developed therein in hopes that this may shed light on similar notions at the ICC.

Contextual background. The 5-year Thematic Portfolio on Social Protection and Decent Work is funded by the Kingdom of Belgium. The project is jointly executed by the Ministry of Gender, Labor and Social Development. The long-term ambition of this project is to improve the living conditions and resilience of the most vulnerable populations in the Great Lakes region by investing in social protection systems and decent work, as well as contributing to promoting sustainable and inclusive socioeconomic development. The specific objective is that women and young people of working age in the Great Lakes region have an increased opportunity to engage in decent work, are better protected by labour rights and benefit from social protection and more inclusive social dialogue. This Portfolio will contribute to two strategic objectives of the third National Development Plan (NDP III) aiming at “Increasing Household Incomes and Improving Quality of Life of Ugandans”, namely (i) to strengthen the private sector to create jobs and (ii) to enhance productivity and social well-being of the population.

Contextual background. Accident and Emergency Departments (A&E), otherwise referred to as an Emergency Department (ED) are ‘consultant led 24 hour service with full resuscitation facilities and designated accommodation for the reception of accident and emergency patients (Health and Social Care Information Centre 2015a). They specialise in the acute care of patients who present unexpectedly to hospital and manage patients with a variety of medical conditions and traumatic injuries, of which approximately 25% are children between 0- 16 years of age (Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) 2012, International Federation of Emergency Medicine (IFEM) 2012). The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) refers to a ‘child’ as “any individual from birth through infancy (including neonates), childhood and adolescence, recognising the particular needs of specific ages, particularly the transition period to adulthood” (RCN 2003a, p.7). Consistent with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) (UNICEF 1989, p.2), the Intercollegiate Committee for Standards for Children in Emergency Care Settings (RCPCH 2012) and International Federation for Emergency Medicine (IFEM 2012) describe a child as any person under the age of eighteen years. Three million children attended A&E Departments during 2006/7 (Institute for Innovation and Improvement 2008). More recently, attendances to emergency care facilities (A&E Departments, Walk-in-Centres (WIC), Minor Injury Units (MIU)) in England have seen an increase in attendances from 18.3 million (2012/3) to 18.5 million (2013/4). Of these, children less than 4 years of age account for 9.8% (1.8 million) attendances, while children less than 10 years of

Contextual background. In the BPM context, NFPs are constraints that have to be imposed to ensure quality and meet other business process requirements (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇, 2008). However, NFPs are not yet widely accepted and often receive less attention than the functional properties in the BPM approaches. BPMN, for instance, in its official version, does not deal with NFPs although there are some limited proposals in the literature. Taking into account some similarities, BPM approaches should be given the same conduct as that given to the functional and non-functional requirements in the Software Engineering approaches (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2010). The functional performance of IT services depends on a number of NFPs, such as: availability, response time and accuracy. The QoS assurance provided by IT is one of the most important factors for business success, as well as improving competitiveness (Khaluf, ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2011). SLAs can formalize and ensure that these operating and quality constraints are overcome. SLAs are thus able to assess whether the service provided complies with the terms agreed between parties (Theilmann et al., 2010). With regard to the specific BPM/SOA context, the most commonly languages employed to formalize SLAs are WS-Agreement and WS-Policy, both based on XML and recommended by W3C. SLAs address the QoS attributes and levels, and are linked to the web services that provide an executable process that is implemented to meet the functional requirements of a process model (Caseau, 2005). The SLAs specified in one of these two languages have their own structures and can, for example, be used to define goals, metrics, fines and bonuses. A BLA, in turn, can be considered to be equivalent to a SLA at a business level. SLA features are, hence, found in a BLA, and include: agreement validity, fines and bonuses (Bratanis, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Simons, 2010). Thus, a BLA, linked to a sub-process, can be hierarchically mapped to a set of SLAs. During the process modelling, a BLA is regarded as a “father” agreement that is related to a set of activities in the process model. During the process implementation, this BLA can derive a set of SLAs that are linked to the respective services. These services, in turn, were derived from the business process model to perform its set of activities. This top-down derivation, as illustrated in Figure 1, defines a set of SLAs that, if all are met, allows the BLA goal to be achieved in an induced way (▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2011). SLA S...

Contextual background. The recent emphasis on compassion in the NHS is influenced by both political and professional drivers (DOH, 2008, DOH, 2009; DOH, 2012a, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2013). Both ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ review of the NHS and the NHS Constitution place compassion at the heart of care delivery and perceive compassion as an aspect of high quality care (DOH, 2008, DOH, 2009). In a drive to promote the delivery of compassionate care in the NHS, a number of nursing initiatives have been implemented to redress the poor standards of care associated with the perceived lack of compassion in nursing (RCN, 2010; DOH, 2012). This section discusses the political context for making compassion a priority in the NHS and for the professional drivers to promote compassionate care.
