Only 17 countries have an elected woman Head of State or Governme

Paul Manafort Leo Weinkauf Jersey , the indicted former campaign manager for President Donald Trump, spent almost $1 million on eight rugs in two years and more than $1.3 million on clothes from shops in Beverly Hills, California, and New York City.


His lavish lifestyle - with homes in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Hamptons Kingsley Coman Jersey , Arlington, Virginia and elsewhere - were detailed in an indictment filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that was revealed on Monday.


The indictment filed by Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller said Manafort "used his hidden overseas wealth to enjoy a lavish lifestyle in the United States."


Prosecutors said they found payments by Manafort for four Range Rovers and a Mercedes-Benz among transactions that they alleged came illegally from overseas to avoid paying U.S. income taxes, according to the 31-page court filing.


Prosecutors said they found evidence he bought a condo in a restored red-brick building in New York's upscale Soho neighborhood for $2.85 million, also from overseas money, most often from Cyprus.


Manafort and associate Rick Gates pleaded not guilty on Monday to money laundering and other charges filed in a probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.


Manafort and Gates both appeared stoic throughout a court hearing on Monday.




A federal judge ordered house arrest for both men, and set a $10 million unsecured bond for Manafort and a $5 million unsecured bond for Gates.


Manafort's attorney Kevin Downing said on Monday there was no evidence that his client colluded with the Russian government while working for the Trump campaign. Neither Trump nor his campaign was mentioned in the indictment.


Manafort ran the Trump campaign from June to August of 2016 before resigning amid reports he might have received millions of dollars in illegal payments from a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine.


The indictment said both Manafort and Gates generated tens of millions of dollars of income from Ukraine work and laundered money through scores of U.S. and foreign entities to hide payments from American authorities.


The indictment said he spent $849 Juan Bernat Jersey ,215 in a men's clothing store in New York and $520,440 at one in Beverly Hills.


He spent $5,434,793 on a house in Water Mill, New York, in Long Island's Hamptons Joshua Kimmich Jersey , shelling out $820,240 for landscaping. Aerial photos of the place show gardens, a pool, a tennis court, a basketball court and a putting green and sand trap on 2.37 acres (0.96 hectare).


A seven-bedroom Brooklyn brownstone, which he bought for $3 million Jerome Boateng Jersey , was described in a real estate agent's listing as "dripping with detail - perfectly intact crown moldings and medallions, gold leafed carved window detail, 5 marble mantels, and original Lincrusta paper wall covering."


UNITED NATIONS, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- A senior United Nations official on Friday called on Member States, regional organizations and civil society for greater partnership to boost women's participation at all levels.


"We will strengthen the collection and analysis of gender statistics and encourage Member States to monitor gender equality indicators as part of their work to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Javi Martinez Jersey ," Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, the Chef de Cabinet, speaking on behalf of the Secretary-General, told a day-long debate in the Security Council, underlining the need for more action on the "women, peace and security agenda."


In her briefing James Rodriguez Jersey , the Chef de Cabinet spoke of the need to ensure adequate representation of women in the security sector both to reduce their exposure to harm as well as to realize their potential in conflict prevention.


Noting that only 3 percent of peacekeepers are women, she informed the Security Council of the Secretary-General's efforts with troop- and police-contributing countries to increase the number of female uniformed personnel.


Viotti also noted that 17 years after its adoption, Security Council resolution 1325 on women and peace and security was too often being implemented "in an ad hoc fashion," and called on UN Member States to share evidence and examples in order to examine gaps and successes.


Also briefing the meeting, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, the Executive Director of the UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) Franck Ribery Jersey , said that while atrocities against women and girls in armed conflict are now the focus of attention and documentation, it is critical that perpetrators are brought to justice, and that survivors are accorded dignity and support.


"This impunity cannot be allowed to continue," she noted.


Further, informing the Security Council of an overall decline in women's participation in UN-led peace processes, inclusion of gender-sensitive provisions in peace agreements and consultation with women's civil society organizations Felix Gotze Jersey , in comparison with one year ago, Mlambo-Ngcuka said that the political marginalization was not only limited to peace talks.


Only 17 countries have an elected woman Head of State or Government and the proportion of women parliamentarians in conflict and post-conflict countries has stagnated at 16 percent in the last two years.


"The use of quotas and temporary special measures would help," she said, noting examples from Somalia and Mali, and called on donors to continue supporting efforts targeted at women's empowerment and highlighted the importance of ensuring gender-conscious funding for policies and programmes.


Also speaking at the meeting were Charo Mina-Rojas of the NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security Fabian Benko Jersey , and Michaelle Jean, Secretary-General of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie, who underscored the need to effectively combat sexual and gender-based violence and end impunity.
