In 2018, Ruffini conceived the Moncler Genius project, where well-known designers create collections interpreting Moncler's identity that are released on a monthly basis.
Since 2018, Ruffini has served as a board member of Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana.
In 2019, Moncler became a signatory of the Fashion Pact, an agreement among leading fashion and textile companies to reduce the environmental impact of their activities. Ruffini served as a member of its steering committee from 2019 to 2023.
On December 7, 2020, Moncler announced the acquisition of Stone Island for €1.15 billion, and Carlo Rivetti, the brand’s president, became a shareholder in Ruffini Partecipazioni, now known as Double R.

# United Nations Security Council Resolution 766

United Nations Security Council resolution 766, adopted unanimously on 21 July 1992, after recalling resolutions 668 (1990), 717 (1991), 718 (1991), 728 (1992) and 745 (1992), the Council acknowledged and expressed its concern at the difficulties experienced by the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) in the implementation of a political settlement in Cambodia signed at the Paris Conference on 23 October 1991.
The Council deplored the continuing violations of the ceasefire in Cambodia, calling on all parties to cease from hostilities immediately and assist in the identification of land mines and in other areas. At the same time, it condemned the refusal by the Party of Democratic Kampuchea to allow the deployment of UNTAC to areas under its control, urging it do so, so that phase two of the United Nations plan can be fully implemented. It reaffirmed the international community's commitment to the political process under UNTAC, urging all parties to respect its peaceful nature and to Member States to provide assistance to the Authority.
The resolution also requested the Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali to accelerate the deployment of civilian components, especially those involved in the supervision and control of administrative structures. With regard to the lack of co-operation by the Party of Democratic Kampuchea, the Council declared that the benefits of international assistance will only apply to those parties which fulfil their obligations under the Paris agreements. However, in his report, the Secretary-General recognised that the cantonment process of Cambodian soldiers could not fully take place with the support of only three factions.

# Valenza

Valenza (Piedmontese: Valensa or Valensá) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Alessandria in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 80 kilometres (50 mi) east of Turin and about 11 kilometres (7 mi) north of Alessandria, in the extreme Montferrat’s offshoots, in the Lombardy’s border.
It is sometimes called “Valenza Po”.
It is also one of the principal zones in the Alessandria’s province, due to its schools poles and the hospital.

## History

A stronghold of the Ligures, it was conquered by the Romans in the 2nd century BC, and became a forum as Forum Fulvii Valentinum, having law jurisdiction and a market. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, most of the population moved from the hills of the previous settlement to live where the current town is. It was ravaged by the Burgundians and ruled by the Lombards. After the Frank conquest of northern Italy, it became part of the mark of Montferrat.
Overshadowed by the power of the nearby Alessandria, it attracted the attentions of Galeazzo I Visconti, duke of Milan, but his plot to capture the city failed. The Viscount were however able to conquer Valenza in 1370. Later the town was sacked by the French troops (1499 and 1515), reconquered by the Spaniards (1521) under Charles V (1521) and then again captured by the French (1523). However, in the latter year it was given back to Charles V. Again surrendered to the French in 1557, it finally was assigned to Spain in 1559 by the Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis.
In 1635, during the Thirty Years' War, Valenza resisted for 60 days a siege from French, Parmense and Savoyard troops. During the later part of the Franco-Spanish War (1635–59), it again withstood a French siege in 1641, but in 1656, after 70 days of siege, it capitulated to French, Savoyard and Modenese troops.
Valenza was besieged again in 1696, but this time the French and Savoyards were unable to capture it. In 1707, in the course of the War of Spanish Succession, it was conquered by Victor Amadeus II of Savoy, who had its possession confirmed in 1713 by the Treaty of Utrecht. Thenceforth Valenza followed Piedmontese-Sardinian history, and after 1861 that of the kingdom of Italy.
The city of Valenza in collaboration with the Brotherhood of San Bernardino reward every year since 1988 the best jeweler with the statuette of San Eligio. This statuette aims to reward the artisans who help the city of Valenza building the reputation of Italian Capital Jewelry.

The security council noted the role that the United Nations had played in the establishment of the Haitian National Police. It also emphasised the importance of a professional, fully functioning national police force and the revitalisation of Haiti's justice system. At the request of the President of Haiti René Préval, UNTMIH was established for a single four-month period ending on 30 November 1997 in order to assist in the professionalisation of the Haitian police.

# Xavier Brasseur

François Xavier Brasseur (19 October 1865 – 4 July 1912) was a Luxembourgish politician and jurist.
Brasseur was educated at the Athénée de Luxembourg, graduating in 1884. Afterwards, he studied law, graduating on 17 June 1890, and began practising in 1894. He worked for his uncle Alexis's steelworks as legal counsel. On 5 January 1897, Brasseur stood as the liberal candidate against the socialist Michel Welter in partial elections in Esch-sur-Alzette.
After the Socialist Party was founded in 1902, Brasseur joined them, and stood in the elections of 7 April 1902 in Esch as a 'democratic' candidate, being elected to the Chamber (along with Welter and three other Socialist candidates). Brasseur consistently introduced legislation expanding Esch's prestige in the country, including the creation of a new district tribunal in Esch (along with those in Luxembourg City and Diekirch) and the creation of an industrial school in the town; both were defeated. More successful was his effort to create a tramway in Esch, which was passed, but only after his death. In 1908, the Socialists and the Liberal League formed their famous 'Left Bloc' (French: Bloc des Gauches), and Brasseur was returned as a deputy again, with seven other socialists.
His political involvement wasn't limited to Esch. Brasseur, as one of the most prominent socialists in the country, was appointed to run for, and was elected to, the communal council of Luxembourg City, along with Jean-Pierre Probst and Luc Housse, in 1904. Despite his commitment to Esch's development and his attack on the succession of Marie-Adélaïde to the grand duchy, Brasseur's main political preoccupation was with the introduction of universal suffrage and the promotion of education for girls. In this, he was influenced by his wife, Jeanne de Saint-Hubert (sister of Aline Mayrisch de Saint-Hubert), whom he had married on 25 May 1893 and divorced on 17 December 1910.
Xavier was a member of the prominent Brasseur family. His father, Pierre, was a famous industrialist. His uncle, Dominique, was a deputy (1866 – 99) and mayor of Luxembourg City (1891 – 94). Dominique's son, and Xavier's cousin, Robert, was a Liberal deputy and member of Luxembourg City's council at the same time as Xavier (and until 1925). In 1914, Robert married Jeanne, whom the late Xavier had divorced four years previously.
