In response, the UC’s Election Reform Task Force recently endorsed 11 recommendations meant to improve election integrity by drastically increasing ballot security and redefining the Election Commission.

In fact, doubts in the last few years about whether relief supplies reach their intended sources in conflict zones have given rise to a whole new way of thinking about humanitarian aid - and caused some to question whether giving aid in times of war does any good at all.
