Case Studies introduction52 The first case study concerns the genocide committed by Bosnian Serb forces in the summer of 1995, involving the killing of thousands of Bosnian men who had gathered at the Eastern Bosnian enclave of Srebrenica.53 Though the enclave had been designated a ‘safe area’ by the UNSC, acting under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, UNPROFOR’s Dutch battalion (‘DUTCHBAT’) proved unable to protect it. In 2007, in Mothers of Srebrenica, survivors of the genocide sued the UN and the State of the Netherlands before the Dutch courts, holding them partly responsible for the fall of the enclave and the ensuing genocide. The Dutch courts held that the UN enjoyed immunity from jurisdiction. Before the ECtHR, the claimants argued that the Netherlands had breached Article 6(1) of the ECHR on account of its courts having upheld the UN’s immunity. In 2013, the ECtHR declared the application inadmissible. In its contemporary case law concerning the jurisdictional immunity of international organisations, the ECtHR has consistently found that Article 6(1) of the ECHR has not been breached. Mothers of Srebrenica, however, is the only case before the Court in which alternative remedies were not available to the claimants. The ECtHR left unresolved in that case whether it deemed the UN to have breached Section 29 of the General Convention. In the immunity proceedings in Mothers of Srebrenica, the Dutch Supreme Court had found that the lack of alternative remedies was at odds with Section 29(a) of the General Convention. By implication, therefore, according to the Supreme Court, the dispute had a ‘private law character’ in terms of that provision. The second case study concerns allegations of lead poisoning due to soil contamination in camps for internally displaced persons in Kosovo. These camps, set up since 1999, were administered by UNMIK, the UN’s mission in Kosovo, which was responsible for the interim administration of Kosovo under a UNSC mandate. Former residents of the camps alleged that UNMIK had violated their human rights, including their right to life. In 2006, in N.M. and Others, the complainants submitted claims under, what the UNMIK administrative framework referred to as, the ‘UN Third Party Claims Process’, which involved the settlement of third-party claims by a claims commission. In 2011, apparently without such a commission having been established, the UN Legal Counsel declared the claims ‘non-receivable’ for lack of a private law character. The compl...

Case Studies. 18 The contractor may use an online living wage calculator that is based on geography (e.g., xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xxx/). Case studies will be developed for three institutions to provide a more in-depth examination of the current state of arts and transdisciplinary programs, and improved understanding of the value of these programs to the surrounding community, including the social, cultural, and economic opportunities for local residents and workers. Findings from these case studies will present relevant, detailed examples of different approaches to cultivating arts assets and community partnerships HBCUs are currently employing. Institutions will be selected that differ substantially by student population size and location and which have different approaches to cultivating arts assets; the contractor shall work with the COR to finalize criteria for selecting institutions for case study analysis using data collected in the previous data collection activities. The contractor shall conduct up to 7 virtual focus groups with institutional leaders (deans, department/program chairpersons, career development staff, center/institute directors, research directors), campus arts administrators and faculty, and student and alumni representatives from each campus, as well as LAA/SAA/XXX program staff, representatives from regional workforce development boards, and industry and community arts leaders and partners. Focus group topics of discussion may include innovative curricular, extracurricular, and structural models that complement or supplement traditional fine arts curricula, such as transdisciplinary arts integration programs, STEAM initiatives, including maker spaces and incubators, and public policy and administration arts-related programs. LAA/SAA/XXX program staff in the HBCUs’ regions will provide additional information on the nature of HBCUs’ participation in local, state, and regional arts networks. The contractor shall prepare for NEA review and approval a recommended list of focus group participants prior to initiating contact with experts. The contractor shall conduct case studies mostly without the agency’s logistical support, although the COR retains the right to audit selected focus groups with advance notice provided to the contractor. The NEA recommends that the contractor pay a stipend equivalent to a living wage, but the contractor is responsible for the final decision on compensation. In analyzing data, the contractor is expected to use both qu...
Case Studies. 2.5.1 X. Xxxxxxx (Belgium) Berchem is an area in the South of the City of Antwerp (Belgium). The district lies between two urban roads, causing a lot of cut-through traffic. The district is characterized by linear streets and very large junctions, enhancing the speed of cars. This district is home to many families with children. The area needed to be reconstructed in a more child friendly way. The idea to implement a home zone with a speed limit of 30km/h originated from the inhabitants themselves. They created a residents’ association to prepare a home zone application. - Problems/bottlenecks: • Cut-through traffic • High speed of the cars • A lot of cars parked in the area • Dangerous junctions - Objectives • Keep out cut-through traffic • Limit speed of local traffic to 30km/h • Shared space • Increase the liveability of the street • Solve parking problem of the inhabitants Two years after the inhabitants started the residents’ association, the municipality dispensed € 27.000 to restructure the area. The city servants created the design of the area. - Solutions and evaluations: the following measures were taken • Large and busy junctions became pleasant squares: ✓ The largest squares were designed as shared spaces with some green accents, benches, … ✓ The other squares were designed with bulges in the footpath. The free space is used for green accents and benches as well. ✓ The entrance of the home zone is indicated with a special sign to limit speed and to make car users aware that they are a guest in this street. • Other interventions: ✓ A little roundabout with green accents ✓ Speed limiting infrastructure such as a speed bump. - Comments of the inhabitants: • Use of materials was elementary. • Green accents: accentuate the junctions. • Current street lighting is not enough. • Street benches: there are a few street benches but more are required. - Evaluation by the inhabitants: • Safety and comfort of the cyclists increased. • The speed of the cars still remained too high. • The comfort and safety of pedestrians increased. • The street scene became more pleasant and enhanced social contact between inhabitants. The engagement of the inhabitants remained high, even though the municipality did not always communicate that clearly on its planned activities in the area.

Case Studies. After conclusion of literature review for this project, we determined that the Integrated Transport and Health Impact Tool (ITHIM) is the most appropriate tool for conducting health impact assessment in Miami-Dade county. In this chapter, we documented results from our comprehensive review of ITHIM implementation cases in the United States, including implementations in greater Nashville area in Tennessee, five major California Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO), and counties in Sacramento, California. The case studies examined details of the ITHIM implementations in terms of contexts of the applications, calibration data, assessment scenarios, health outcomes assessed, results of the assessment, and plans and actions after ITHIM implementations. Note that discussions of XXXXX case studies in this chapter cover only technical details relevant to the implementation. ITHIM methodologies are covered in the literature review chapter.

For each best practice identified, we will provide a brief profile outlining the approach along with any available information on how the program or initiative was implemented. The results of this task will help shape our recommendations and will be integrated into the final deliverable where appropriate.
Case Studies. In Belgium, a playing street is a public road that is temporarily blocked by crush barriers for a certain time. The crush barriers are equipped with C3 traffic signs with an extra sign displaying “playing street” (KB, 28 October 1998). The playing street is known in several municipalities and has different appearances. Here you’ll find some examples to get an idea.
