Bibliography on Human Security Bibliography on Human Security Prepared by the Harvard Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research August 2001 SOURCES ON HUMAN SECURITY Prepared by the Harvard Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research Research Assistant: Stacie Waters Introduction Human security is a contested concept. There is consensus among its proponents of human that the ‘referent object’ object of security should be the individual rather than the state, but no consensus with respect to the threats to individuals that should be included under the human security rubric. The ‘broad’ conception of human security promoted by the United Nations Development Programme in 1994, and now also associated with the Japanese government, includes a broad variety of threats to human well-being – disease, hunger and pollution – as well as violence. Proponents of narrower conceptions of human security argue that conflating a range of different harms to persons serves no good analytic purpose. This bibliography is based on searches for publications in which the term ‘human security’ appears. This approach has one important drawback. Much work that that deals with the substance of human security issues does not use the term human security at all. In this sense the bibliography is incomplete and remains a work in progress. Scope of the Bibliography The bibliography includes books, chapters in books, journal and magazine articles, scholarly papers, manuscripts, speeches, presentations, reports, and government publications, including official statements, political agreements, and press releases. Search Methodology The primary source of data was the Internet, which was searched using a number of tools. Additional resources used included Harvard University’s card catalog, and other sources, including Lexis Nexis, J-Stor and CiaoNet. Search terms used included: ‘human security’, ‘security’, and ‘human insecurity’. The bibliography also includes material from two other bibliographies: • Human Security: An Extended and Annotated International Bibliography, compiled by Sara Edson, King’s College, London. • Literature on Human Security and Human Needs, compiled by Edward Newman, Peace and Governance Programme, United Nations University. 2 Exclusions • News briefs and duplicated entries (i.e., articles published in multiple sources or news briefs or press releases describing documents elsewhere in the bibliography) are excluded, as are documents with only minimal relevance. Search Engines and Databases Employed Subscription-Based Services: • CiaoNet • First Search • Hollis Catalog • J-Stor • Lexis Nexis • Ovid/PAIS • Periodicals Contents Index • ProQuest • Social Sciences Citation Index • WorldCat Search Engines: • Google • Yahoo!

  • New Evidence in Matas/Kilgour Revised Report on Organ Harvest of Falun Gong Practitioners in China
    News Release For Immediate Release February 2, 2007 New Evidence in Matas/Kilgour Revised Report on Organ Harvest of Falun Gong Practitioners in China Ottawa- David Matas and David Kilgour called on all states to ban transplant tourism to China. The call was made in the context of a revised version of a report which addresses the allegation whether organs are harvested from Falun Gong practitioners who were killed in the process. The initial report was released July 6, 2006. The reports conclude that it is true. The revised report almost doubles the amount of evidence that the practice is continuing. New evidence in the revised report reinforcing the original conclusions includes: • the donor recipient experience that transplant operations are done in a secretive way suggesting cover up of a crime; • heavy military involvement in the organ transplant business; • additional admissions from the hospitals that they have Falun Gong organs for transplant. The admissions were made to telephone investigators posing as relatives of patients in need of transplants; • additional testimony from Falun Gong victim witnesses about both systematic blood testing of only Falun Gong practitioners in Chinese detention and the disappearance of the massive numbers of Falun Gong practitioners in detention who refused to self identity to the authorities; • death through torture of over three thousand named Falun Gong practitioners; • the building of dedicated facilities for organ transplants without any identifiable source for transplants other than prisoners;

  • Bibliography of Works Using Sources from the University of Toronto Archives
    Bibliography of works using sources from the University of Toronto Archives Compiled by Harold Averill July 2004 26th revision, June, 2019 © University of Toronto Archives and Records Management Services, 2019 Bibliography of works using sources from the University of Toronto Archives Introduction Since 1965 the University of Toronto Archives and Records Management Services has been acquiring, preserving and making available the documentary heritage of the University of Toronto as a permanent resource in support of the operational, educational and research needs of the University community and the general public. Over the years, the thousands of researchers who have used the Archives have produced a huge number of articles, books, theses and other publications, and material has also been used in films, videos, radio, stage and other multi-media productions. In 2004 Harold Averill, the Assistant University Archivist, initiated a project to capture the record of this research. This ongoing project is designed to draw the reader’s attention to the range of research that has been conducted at University of Toronto Archives and, by implication, the wealth of our holdings. The listings include published or produced material only and, while comprehensive, make no claim to be complete. It is currently divided into four sections: books, articles, catalogues and pamphlets; theses and research papers; plays; and moving image material. Other sections will be added as information becomes available. Researchers are invited to submit the results of their research for inclusion.

    ITEM 6 City Council of Waynesboro, Virginia RESOLUTION TO BRING AWARENESS TO WAYNESBORO RESIDENTS AND MEDICAL COMMUNITY OF THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH TRAVELING TO CHINA FOR ORGAN TRANSPLANT IN LIGHT OF RECENT REPORTS OF STATE-SPONSORED ORGAN HARVESTING FROM PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE. WHEREAS, extensive and credible reports have revealed mass killing of prisoners of conscience in the People's Republic of China, primarily practitioners of the Chinese spiritual practice of Falun Gong, but also other religious and ethnic minority groups, in order to obtain organs for transplants; and WHEREAS, The China Tribunal, an independent tribunal sitting in London chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice, who was a prosecutor at the international criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, concluded on Jun 18, 2019, in a unanimous determination at the end of its year-long hearings, that the killing of detainees in China for organ transplants is continuing and victims include imprisoned followers of the Falun Gong movement; and WHEREAS, the 2017 Freedom House report, “The Battle for China's Spirit,” states that “available evidence suggests that forced extraction of organs from Falun Gong detainees for sale in transplant operations has occurred on a large scale and may be continuing”; and WHEREAS, an investigative report published in June 2016 by human rights attorney David Matas, former Canadian Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific, David Kilgour, and journalist Ethan Gutmann, estimated that China is performing transplants at a rate amounting to “an industrial-scale,

  • Charles Dickens Opens His Classic, a Tale Of
    Charles Dickens opens his classic, A Tale of Two Cities, by observing: ‘[i]t was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness’.1 Read in a modern context, one could be forgiven for assuming he was talking about minority government. Since 2004, a series of minority governments were elected in Westminster systems. Canada initiated the trend electing a minority parliament for the first time in 25 years. Australia and the United Kingdom quickly followed, electing their own minority parliaments in 2010. Minority governments are not particularly novel outside of the Westminster systems. Indeed, most legislative assemblies operate on some power-sharing agreement between coalition partners. Yet, when they occur in a Westminster system—Canada or Australia—they are news. This is due, in part, to the novelty of the occurrence, since it happens so rarely. In the analysis that follows, I attempt to draw some lessons from the years 2004 to 2011 when Canada elected three successive minority governments. I begin with a discussion of the election campaigns and major events of the 38th, 39th and 40th Canadian Parliaments. I then turn my attention to potential lessons that can be drawn from this seven-year span paying special attention to: political parties, managing parliament, and the importance of the marginal seats. I argue that there are lessons to be learned from other Westminster parliaments when dealing with minority government. Four elections in seven years Like Australia, the Canadian Government is based on the Westminster parliamentary system.
