NOTE: The IWS Documented News Service is committed to helping the Rwanda Tribunal garner more attention world-wide. The lessons and legacy of ground-breaking legal matters related to the unspeakable events in Rwanda should not be forgotten. Humans, whether from rich or poor countries, must remain vigilant in curbing the motivations that lead individuals and groups to violent hatred and barbaric acts against a class of people. Consequently, items about this tribunal, which will end shortly after 2010, will appear from time to time on this news service.

The customer simply chooses the indicator, the countries, and the years, and the charts appear. Currently, ILC has posted three dashboards that you can access as follows:

·         Productivity dashboard with international comparisons of manufacturing productivity, unit labor costs, and related trends at ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/suppl/prod4.prodsuppt.xls Choose the “Productivity Charts” link or the “Charts” tab.

 

·         GDP dashboard with international comparisons of GDP per capita, GDP per hour, and related measures at http://www.bls.gov/fls/intl_gdp_capita_gdp_hour.xls Choose the “GDP Charts” link or the “Charts” tab.

NOTE: The IWS Documented News Service is committed to helping the Rwanda Tribunal garner more attention world-wide. The lessons and legacy of ground-breaking legal matters related to the unspeakable events in Rwanda should not be forgotten. Humans, whether from rich or poor countries, must remain vigilant in curbing the motivations that lead individuals and groups to violent hatred and barbaric acts against a class of people. Consequently, items about this tribunal, which will end shortly after 2010, will appear from time to time on this news service.
