    Israel Has Lost Any Sense of Moralıty and Become Golıath

    ısrael HAS LOST ANY SENSE OF moralıtY AND BECOME golıaTH Hassan Ghani 12 February 2011 / Scotland Hassan Ghani (1985) is Scot of Pakistani origin. He is currently a cor- respondent of PressTV news channel based in London. He was free- lanced, and supplied material to BBC Scotland and Al Jazeera in the past, and has worked in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Gaza, Egypt and across Europe. Why did you join the Gaza Freedom Flotilla? What was your mo- tivation? As a correspondent for my channel, PressTV, it’s my job to cover significant events around the world. I’d already been sent on two aid convoys to Gaza that had departed by road from London. Having already been in contact with the IHH, which had been one of the organizers of Lifeline 3 Convoy led by Viva Palestina, it made sense for me to be onboard the Mavi Marmara and cover the story. Did you expect an Israeli attack before setting off? As you know, the Israeli authorities state that they warned in advance that they would not allow the Flotilla to go through. Israel was making all sorts of noises before our departure. They had shown to Israeli press the processing centres they had setup at Ashdod for the Flotilla passengers, and had leaked information about the military unit training to intercept us. However, my feeling was that this was probably just a rouse to scare off the Flotilla – a bluff in the hope that aid workers would back down in fear. If they did intercept the ships, we thought they would disable the engines or find some way of physically blocking the Flotilla’s path.

    July 2015 a Monthly Newsletter from the Center on International Cooperation GLOBAL PEACE OPERATIONS REVIEW

    Global Peace Operations Review July 2015 A monthly newsletter from the Center on International Cooperation GLOBAL PEACE OPERATIONS REVIEW The Global Peace Operations Review is an interactive web-portal presenting in-depth analysis and detailed data on military peacekeeping operations and civilian-led political missions by the United Nations, regional organizations, and ad-hoc coalitions. The web-portal is a product of the New York University Center on International Cooperation (CIC) and a continuation of its long-standing print publications the Annual Review of Global Peace Operations and the Review of Political Missions. Providing the most comprehensive overview of multilateral contributions to peacekeeping, conflict prevention, and post- conflict peacebuilding, the Review aims to initiate and inform discussions on the comparative advantages and appropriateness of different missions, and through constructive analysis to further strengthen existing partnerships necessary for them to succeed. Through the Country & Regional Profile pages, the Review provides background information and regularly updated key developments on peace operations and the contexts in which they operate. The analysis is further enhanced by the provision of detailed data on each of the UN’s peace operations, and headline data on missions fielded by regional organizations and ad hoc missions, which can be accessed in full through the Data & Trends section. Data on non-UN peace operations was compiled by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). For more details, please see our Data guide. The Strategic Summary provides an overview of main developments in mission settings over the past year and presents analysis on trends and the impact these may have on shaping peace operations of the future.

  • Challenging States' Reliance on the Aznar Protocol and Related EU

    Challenging States' Reliance on the Aznar Protocol and Related EU

    J U R I D I C U M Challenging States’ Reliance on the Aznar Protocol and Related EU Secondary Law An Assessment of Admissibility Issues at the European Court of Human Rights Mikaela Graae Spring 2015 RV4460 Law, Advanced Course (Bachelor thesis), 15 Credits Examiner: Anna Gustafsson Tutor: Tarik Radwan Abstract The EU defines a refugee as only including third-country nationals and stateless persons. The Aznar Protocol provides in essence that asylum claims from nationals of EU Member States should be considered manifestly unfounded. 1 Therefore, EU nationals are basically excluded from the possibility to acquire asylum in other EU countries. This paper examines the legal challenges that an otherwise bona fide refugee originating from an EU country would face if he were to bring a case to the ECtHR. A legal dogmatic method is used to establish the applicable law for the challenges.2 The purpose of this paper is to highlight that bona fide refugee claims from EU nationals to other EU countries are unlikely to succeed and that there are challenges for the ECtHR to hear such a case. If someone would bring a case before the Court it would be plausible to do so under either Article 6(1), 13, 14 or 1 of Protocol No 12 ECHR.3 The challenges for the Court to hear such a case are admissibility issues under the Articles, but also to overcome the doctrine of equivalent protection. The conclusion reached in this paper is that only Article 1 of Protocol No 12 could lead to a judgment on the merits.

    Ismail Ali-Mustafa Ismail Nashwan

    ı wıtnessed THE MASSACRE OF THE zıonıstS FOR THE fırst tıme ın MY vıllAGE, AL-DAWAyıma, ın 1948 Ismail Ali Nashwan 17 March 2011/ Jordan Hadji Ismail Ali Nashwan (1929) was born in the village of al-Dawayima, located on the west of Hebron, in Pales- tine. In 1948, in a raid on al-Dawayima, the Zionist 89th Battalion – composed of the Haganah and Lehi organiza- tions – under the command of Moshe Dayan, occupied the village and killed over 400 of its residents. Hadji Ismail Ali Nashwan is one of the eyewitnesses to this massacre. Then the Zionist Occupation Forces exiled those residents that remained alive.… In 1956, he was arrested by the Israeli forces and spent two years in prison, then exiled from Palestine to Jordan. He has been living in Jordan since then. While dreaming of returning to his homeland, he has made use of every opportunity to go back to Palestine. He joined the Lifeline 3 convoy and the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. In October 2010, he also joined the Lifeline 5 convoy, but the Egyptian administration prevented him from entering Gaza on the grounds that he posed a threat to the national secu- rity of Egypt, and that he had also a Turkish citizenship(!). THE FREEDOM FLOTıLLA ACHıEVED MUCH GREATER GOALS THAN ANTıCıPATED Mustafa Ismail Nashwan 17 March 2011/ Jordan Mustafa Ismail Nashwan (1969), the son of Hadji Ismail Ali Nashwan, was born in Amman, and completed his educa- tion there. Since 1990, he has been working as an imam and a preacher. He joined the Lifeline 3 convoy and the Gaza Freedom Flotilla with his father, and was refused en- try to Egypt as part of the Lifeline 5 convoy.

The network was established by the Swedish Government in response to the fact that women remain systematically underrepresented in peace processes. The network consists of 15 senior women with extensive expertise and experience relevant to conflict mediation, peacebuilding and negotiations. As the Minister for Foreign Affairs’ Special Representatives for Inclusive Peace Processes, they actively participate in peace processes and promote the inclusion of women and civil society in peacemaking and conflict resolution at all levels and in conflict situations around the world. The Swedish Mediation Network is part of the Nordic Women Mediators Network. Agneta Johansson Executive Director, ILAC Agneta Johansson is a lawyer specialized in international law with over 30 years of experience in international development in conflict and post-conflict countries. She has served 15 years as Executive Director and Deputy Director of the International Legal Assistance Consortium (ILAC), an international association for legal experts offering guidance to countries to rebuild justice systems after conflict. As Executive Director, she has overseen comprehensive rule of law assessments and programs in Cuba, Guatemala, Liberia, Central African Republic, Syria and the MENA region. Agneta Johansson has also worked for several international organizations and the Swedish Foreign Ministry.
