La AEPDIRI, con sus 700 miembros, engloba a la mayoría de los especialistas españoles en estas materias, lo que la convierte en un referente en nuestro país. Desde su inicio, tanto ella como sus miembros han venido desarrollando una actividad constante de estudio y análisis en las tres áreas temáticas que la componen, contando con un amplio impacto en Es- paña, Iberoamérica y otras partes del mundo a través de las distintas actividades que todos ellos organizan y de sus publicaciones, entre las que destacan las tres revistas que lidera la Asociación: la Revista Española de Derecho Internacional, la Revista Electrónica de Estudios Internacionales y el Spanish Yearbook of International Law. No resulta fácil hablar, en un país como el nuestro, de un proyecto exitoso que perdure en el tiempo. Y, desde luego, es muy difícil hacerlo de un proyecto que englobe a personas pertenecientes a diversas realidades y sectores académi- cos. Nuestra Asociación comparte ambos logros y lo hace, además, consciente de que en su diversidad se encuentra su mayor fortaleza. Estamos orgullosos de ser miembros de una Asociación, como es la AEPDIRI, que, estando cercana a sus cuarenta años de edad, no sólo mantiene el impulso y la lozanía de sus orígenes, sino que busca dar un salto cualitativo en su proyección y presencia pública, convirtiéndose en un referente de necesaria consideración por los acto- res públicos y privados de nuestro país. Todo ello con vocación de servicio y en unos momentos de cambio radical en algunos de elementos que han compuesto nuestro entorno durante las últimas décadas. La realidad nacional e internacional en la que surgió la AEPDIRI poco o nada tiene que ver con las circunstancias en las que actualmente se desenvuelve. Se mantiene, eso sí, la presencia entre nuestros miembros de gran parte de los máximos especialistas españoles en las tres ramas que componen la Asociación y la conciencia de la necesidad de cooperar con la sociedad civil y política de 9 España con vistas a hacer frente a los nuevos tiempos, que ya están aquí. La AEPDIRI tiene como uno de sus signos de identidad el hecho de constituir una asociación científica activa e inquieta, abierta a la cooperación y colaboración con todas aquellas instituciones y organismos dedicados a las materias cubiertas por ella. La obra que el lector tiene en sus manos es reflejo de este signo distintivo de la AEPDIRI, de su voluntad abierta de hacerse presente en la realidad pública de nuestro país. El libro recoge las contribuciones realizadas a la Jornada sobre “La aplicación de la mediación en la resolución de conflictos en el Mediterrá- neo”, que se desarrolló en la Escuela Diplomática el día 6 de junio de 2014, en colaboración con el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y de Cooperación. Pocos lugares en el mundo presentan una historia tan rica, intensa e interesante como los países mediterráneos y, a la vez, en pocas zonas geográficas se dan tantas tensiones y una tipología tan amplia de conflictos. Esta situación, única en el pla- neta, exige soluciones singulares y, en esta tarea, explorar el uso de la mediación como forma de afrontarlos y resolverlos constituye una oportunidad magnífica, no solo para analizar todo el potencial que atesora esta institución, sino también para estudiar su posible extrapolación a otras realidades y los términos en que ésta puede llevarse a cabo. Para la AEPDIRI constituye una enorme satisfacción y un

    Sailing for Safe Abortion Access: The Emergence of a Conscious Social Nonmovement in Morocco By Julia Ellis-Kahana In partial fulfillment for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Sociology Brown University April 2013 Julia Ellis-Kahana ________________________________ Advisor Carrie Spearin ________________________________ First Reader Michael Kennedy ! ! ! ________________________________! ! ! Disclosures Research for this thesis has been completed with the support of: Royce Fellowship, Swearer Center for Public Service, Brown University, 2012-2013 Barbara Anton Internship Grant, Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women, Brown University, 2012-2013 Alice Rowan Swanson Fellowship, SIT Study Abroad, 2012 Acknowledgements I have so much gratitude for the multiple people who have made this project a reality. Carrie Spearin, my advisor, has been patient and understanding. Her pragmatism has enabled me to keep everything in perspective when I felt overwhelmed. Michael Kennedy is my first reader and his own experience of studying a social movement through engaged ethnography has been integral to the way he has guided my research. He has challenged me by asking the right questions at the right time. I have come to appreciate that both Professor Spearin’s and Professor Kennedy’s concern for my safety during this project was driven by their genuine parental instincts. Kerri Heffernan, the director of the Royce Fellowship Program at the Swearer Center for Public Service, has been an invaluable resource for me. She helped me realize that I needed to assemble a team of people at Brown who would believe in me to complete my research in the Netherlands and Morocco. This group of professors includes Melani Cammett, Rebecca Allen, Ziad Bentahar, Mehrangiz Kar, and John Modell.

CONCLUSIONES RESUMEN: El incierto estatuto jurídico de la isla de Perejil, disputada por España y Marruecos, trae causa de una confusa historia que se retrotrae a los tiempos en que Ceuta pertenecía a Portugal. Por ello, para analizar los títulos españoles hay que examinar tanto los que se derivan de los actos portugueses en el islote como los desarrollados por España a lo largo de los siglos, desde el siglo XV. Y, posteriormente, es ineludible analizar la posición de Marruecos en el contencioso. Todo ello confluye en un statu quo indeterminado que se afianzó tras el incidente militar desencadenado entre España y Marruecos en 2002. PALABRAS CLAVE: Estrecho de Gibraltar; conflicto de la isla de Perejil; islote; adquisición de soberanía territorial; conquista; ocupación; prescripción adquisitiva. SPAIN AND MOROCCO IN THE STRAITS OF GIBRALTAR: THE STATU QUO OF PEREJIL ISLET ABSTRACT: The uncertain legal status of the island of Perejil, disputed by Spain and Morocco, brings about a confusing history that goes back to the times when Ceuta belonged to Portugal.

  • What the Women Say
    WHAT THE WOMEN SAY Morocco’s Dilemma: Rights and Reform or Closure and Conservatism? Civil Society Action Network International March 2015 Brief 13 Key Findings In a volatile region, Morocco is navigating a political space where both conservatives and progressives are present and vocal. Morocco has a progressive constitution, but new political actors and deepening Women’s Rights, Peace andSecurity Women’s Peace Rights, social conservatism threaten to reverse previous gains on equal rights. For Morocco needs bold leadership to fully implement its laws and transform the ICAN social and judicial status quo to allow for equality and social justice. In the last half of 2014, the Moroccan government has prevented activities of some women’s and human rights organizations without any credible explanation.

  • Human Rights and Social Movements in a Multicultural Context AFRS 3000 (3 Credits / 45 Hours)
    Human Rights and Social Movements in a Multicultural Context AFRS 3000 (3 credits / 45 hours) SIT Study Abroad Program: Morocco: Multiculturalism and Human Rights PLEASE NOTE: This syllabus represents a recent semester. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of unique learning opportunities, actual course content varies from semester to semester. Description This seminar aims to introduce students to the major current debates on the questions of human rights and social movements in the Moroccan hybrid political context. In the aftermath of the February 20, 2011 movement (the Moroccan version of the Arab Spring; since commonly known as the February 20 Movement), Morocco has witnessed many social protest movements across the country. These movements opened the door for a fundamental rethinking of the prevalent paradigms used to understand Moroccan political social dynamics. Students look at movements in terms of large-scale, dramatic events, while also paying close attention to the social infrastructure and actions of ordinary people that sustain movements on a daily basis. Using a perspective of "human rights practice" the focus is on analyzing how groups and organizations operationalize human rights, and view human rights through action rather than simply as legal norms. The seminar engages Moroccan academics, artists, civil society activists, policy makers and students in debates on the development of a multicultural society in a political hybrid regime. Learning Outcomes By the end of the course, students will

  • Colonial and Orientalist Veils
    Colonial and Orientalist Veils: Associations of Islamic Female Dress in the French and Moroccan Press and Politics Loubna Bijdiguen Goldmiths College – University of London Thesis Submitted for a PhD in Media and Communications Abstract The veiled Muslimah or Muslim woman has figured as a threat in media during the past few years, especially with the increasing visibility of religious practices in both Muslim-majority and Muslim-minority contexts. Islamic dress has further become a means and technique of constructing ideas about the ‘other’. My study explores how the veil comes to embody this otherness in the contemporary print media and politics. It is an attempt to question constructions of the veil by showing how they repeat older colonial and Orientalist histories. I compare and contrast representations of the dress in Morocco and France. This research is about how Muslimat, and more particularly their Islamic attire, is portrayed in the contemporary print media and politics. My research aims to explore constructions of the dress in the contemporary Moroccan and French press and politics, and how the veil comes to acquire meanings, or veil associations, over time. I consider the veil in Orientalist, postcolonial, Muslim and Islamic feminist contexts, and constructions of the veil in Orientalist and Arab Nahda texts. I also examine Islamic dress in contemporary Moroccan and French print media and politics. While I focus on similarities and continuities, I also highlight differences in constructions of the veil. My study establishes the importance of merging and comparing histories, social contexts and geographies, and offers an opportunity to read the veil from a multivocal, multilingual, cross-historical perspective, in order to reconsider discourses of Islamic dress past and present in comparative perspective.

While some studies point to the formal support for gender equality reflected in the revised code, others note that Moroccan women continue to face challenges in the social and symbolic spheres. Drawing on interviews conducted by the authors with women leaders in Morocco in 2016, this paper investigates the opportunities and obstacles these women have encountered in their personal journeys. The paper explores the extent to which elite background, work sector, religion, and legal codes affect women’s ascent to leadership roles and shares the women’s own views regarding improving women’s status.
