Workers' Party of Ireland

The Workers' Party formerly Official Sinn Féin was a left-wing political party in Ireland which was associated with the Official Irish Republican Army.
The CAIN website at the University of Ulster describes the party's evolution:
::The Workers' Party (WP) grew out of Official Sinn Féin which was considered the political wing of the Official Irish Republican Army (OIRA). The Workers' Party is organised in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland with the Northern section being semi-autonomous. The organisation is a Socialist / Marxist Republican party which arose from the "Official" majority faction which remained loyal to the then leadership of Sinn Féin in the 1969-70 split. At that time the Northern section of Sinn Féin operated under the name Republican Clubs and following the split became known as Official Republican Clubs (then Republican Clubs the Workers' Party; then Sinn Féin the Workers' Party; finally in 1982 the Workers' Party).Abstracts on Organisations - 'W', Conflict Archive on the Internet, accessed 26 September 2009.
==Media influence==
The Workers' Party acquired a reputation for being influential in the Irish media. Authors Brian Hanley and Scott Millar note that ex-members have been well represented in Irish journalism:
::Eoghan and Ann Harris were prominent at the Sunday Independent, as was Patricia Redlich. For a long period ex-WP members Liam Clarke and Henry McDonald interpreted Irish politics for the Sunday Times and The Observer respectively, while Hugh Jordan was employed by the Belfast Sunday World.Brian Hanley & Scott Millar, The Lost Revolution: The Story of the Official IRA and the Workers' Party, Penguin Ireland, 2009, p.597.
Other writers associated with the party have included Martin O'Hagan, Kathryn Johnston and Robin Wilson.Brian Hanley & Scott Millar, The Lost Revolution: The Story of the Official IRA and the Workers' Party, Penguin Ireland, 2009, p.597. O'Hagan was the first reporter killed during the Troubles.David McKittrick, Seamus Kelters, Brian Feeney, Chris Thornton, David McVea, Lost Lives, Mainstream Publishing, 2004, p.1499.

World Congress of Gay and Lesbian Jewish Organizations

World Congress of Gay and Lesbian Jewish Organizations
:The organized movement of lesbian and gay Jews took root in the mid-1970s when groups of Jewish homosexuals in the United States, England, and Israel began gathering for religious, educational, and social purposes. After centuries of denial, the Jewish community was faced with the reality of this increasingly visible and vocal minority. By 1989, nearly 30 groups of Jewish gay men and women throughout the world were part of the World Congress of Gay and Lesbian Jewish Organizations, an international body devoted to community education about homophobia and support for both member and newly emerging gay Jewish groups.A Cooper No longer invisible: gay and lesbian Jews build a movement. J Homosex. 1989;18(3-4):83-94. doi: 10.1300/J082v18n03_04.

World Conservation Trust Foundation

The World Conservation Trust Foundation is an anti environmental and pro hunting and pro-fur front group. It is a designated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization under the United States tax code. It has a special relationship with IWMC World Conservation Trust, a non-profit organization that was established in 1994 to promote the sustainable utilization of wildlife. WCTF provides funding for IWMC (formely known as International Wildlife Management Consortium) projects around the world. WCTF is registered as a corporation in the District of Columbia. It has a Board of Directors and its President is Eugene Lapointe. He is also President of the IWMC as well as having been secretary general of CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, from 1982 to 1990. 
WCTF and IWMC believe in "the sustainable utilization of wildlife". They believe in the killing of animals for fur,food and ivory. They support hunting, whaling and killing in areas throughout the world. They frequently mention the lack of evidence to support the falling of fish stocks or the endangering of species. They underline the fact that often these figures are exaggerated and that plenty stock are available for culling.
Eugene Lapointe also employs five former officials with the convention on wildlife trafficking, and advises Japan, Norway, China, Canada and industries on how to legally avoid animal trade laws. He accuses animal and environmental campaigners of trying to destroy fishing and other industries and using species just to raise money. (http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/09/30/1096527866469.html)
"The agenda of these groups is to prevent the killing of any whales, however abundant they are. But this is short-sighted"
The website goes to far as to say that if these animals aren't killed they will be harming themselves, "Unless a culling program is introduced there will be long-term damage to plants, the soil and other wildlife, and ultimately to the elephants themselves." (http://www.conservingwildlife.org/elephants.html)

==Publications==
*Education and Skills 2.0: New Targets and Innovative Approaches (January 2014). 
This book reviews existing and new ideas, perspectives and frameworks on education 'as the global community weighs next steps on the education and skills front'. 
One of its 5 chapters covers the digitisation of education. 'On the digital front, a revolution in learning is underway, via new technologies,' it says. 'Think digital open content, cloud computing, mobile and tablet technology, game-based learning, machine learning, and big data technology. Does the big one-time switch from analogue to digital solve one of the biggest problems in education – that of access – thereby serving as an economic leveller?' it asks. The digital divide and the lack of acceptance of online course credits stand in the way, it says. 
Another chapter discusses funding of education around the world. 'The private sector will increasingly be asked to supplement public resources,' the authors argue, 'while governments can help by targeting disadvantaged children.' MOOCs, the digitization of educational tools, as well as the securitization of student loans and reversible bonds' are put forward as solutions to funding issues.Education and Skills 2.0: New Targets and Innovative Approaches, World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council on Education & Skills, January 2014

Other major players involved in the project include Alcan Inc., USAID India, UNDP India, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and NEPAD Business Foundation.

World Federation of Scientists Permanent Monitoring Panel on Terrorism

A panel of the World Federation of Scientists.
:The Permanent Monitoring Panel on Terrorism was established with the objective of identifying scientific and do-able solutions to contain and possibly eliminate the growing scourge and its impact. The Permanent Monitoring Panel on Terrorism brings together a large group of eminent scientists and scholars in regular session in Erice every May. Its consideration of the subject is divided into two sub-groups, the first entitled “Motivations” and the second “Mitigation”. While these two sub-groups view the problem from different angles, the two approaches are entirely complementary, as neither can succeed in resolving the problem alone.

World Federation of Trade Unions

The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) is an international labour federation founded in 1945. 
==Founding conference==
The first conference took place in Paris from 5 September to 8 October 1945. 56 countries were represented at the meeting which founded a Prague-based federation. Walter Citrine of the British TUC was elected as President and Louis Saillant of the French Communist CGT was elected as Secretary-General. John Brophy of the American CIO defied his federation's President Phil Murray, by refusing to take a position as WFTU vice-president because of Communist influence. The rival American Federation of Labor boycotted the conference and the WFTU.Ben Rathbun, The Point Man, Irving Brown and the Deadly Post-1945 Struggle for Europe and Africa, Minerva Press, 1996, pp.125-127.
