Vietnam Detained Khmer-Krom Youth for Distributing the UN DRIP
KKF’s Report April 16, 2021 Vietnam Detained Khmer-Krom Youth for Distributing the UN DRIP On Thursday, September 13, 2007, the General Assembly voted to adopt the United Nations Declarations on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UN DRIP). As a member state, Vietnam signed to adopt this crucial and historical document. Since signing to the adoption of the UN DRIP, Vietnam has continued to deny the existence of the indigenous peoples within its border. Vietnam has labeled the indigenous peoples as the “ethnic minority.” The Khmer-Krom people, the indigenous peoples of the Mekong Delta, have been living on their ancestral lands for thousands of years before the Vietnamese people came to live in the region. Lacking recognition as the indigenous peoples, the Khmer-Krom people have not enjoyed the fundamental rights enshrined in the UN DRIP. Instead of trying to protect and promote the fundamental rights of the indigenous peoples, Vietnam has tried to use all the tactics to make the indigenous peoples invisible in their homeland by not recognizing their true identity. The Khmer-Krom people are not allowed to identify themselves as Khmer-Krom, but being labeled as “Khmer Nam Bo.” Moreover, even Vietnam signed to adopt UN DRIP, but Vietnam has not translated the UN DRIP to the indigenous language and distributed the UN DRIP freely to indigenous peoples. Vietnam is a one-party communist state. Vietnam does not allow freedom of association. As a non- profit organization based in the United States to advocate for the fundamental rights of the voiceless Khmer-Krom in the Mekong Delta, the Khmers Kampuchea-Krom Federation (KKF) has not allowed operating in Vietnam. -
Unionism and Loyalism
Unionism and Loyalism Gordon Gillespie 26 June 2018 Unionism: Historical Viewpoint Defines itself in opposition to Irish nationalism. Rejects the idea of a historic Irish nation. Ireland only became a nation after the Act of Union in 1800 (ie within the UK). The 26 counties of the Free State/Irish Republic seceded from the United Kingdom – the six counties of NI did not withdraw from an Irish state. After partition in 1921 the Irish government encouraged political instability in NI by continuing the territorial claim to NI in the Irish constitution (removed in 1999). Academic Definitions Jennifer Todd: Ulster Loyalist – primary loyalty to the NI Protestant community. Ulster British – primary loyalty to the British state/nation. In practice there is an overlap between the two. John McGarry and Brendan O’Leary: Devolutionists – a NI assembly provides best defence against Irish nationalism because British government is unreliable. Integrationists – Union best maintained by legal, political, electoral and administrative integration with the rest of the UK. Norman Porter: Cultural Unionism – rooted in Protestantism. The concepts of liberty and loyalty are central. Liberal Unionism – aims to achieve a similar political way of life as the rest of the UK Unionist and Loyalist Organisations Organisations reflect social and economic divisions in the PUL community. Complicated by emergence of organisations in response to the Troubles or to specific political initiatives. Churches: Presbyterian, Church of Ireland, Methodist, Baptist, etc. Political parties: Ulster Unionist Party, Democratic Unionist Party, Vanguard, etc. Loyal Orders: Orange Order, Apprentice Boys of Derry, Royal Black Preceptory. Paramilitary Organisations: Ulster Volunteer Force, Ulster Defence Association and associated organisations. -

Beyond the Religious Divide
Beyond the Religious Divide 1 CONTENTS PART 1: INTRODUCTION: Review of political structures PART 2: THE PEOPLE AND THE STATE: A proposed Constitution and Political Structures PART 3: A PROPOSED BILL OF RIGHTS PART 4: TWO ECONOMIC PAPERS: John Simpson (Queens University, Belfast); Dr. T.K. Whitaker (former Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland. N.B. Part 1 is only available at present. 2 INTRODUCTION Why is it in Northern Ireland that Conservative Protestants and Conservative Roman Catholics, and Socialist Roman Catholics and Liberal Protestants and Liberal Roman Catholics cannot come together in proper political parties to contest and win elections on social and economic policies? Political unity in Northern Ireland between Protestants and Roman Catholics with the same political ideology is not a new concept. At certain stages in our turbulent history it has been achieved to varying degrees of success, but for one reason or another has never been sustained long enough to be of any real consequence. The evolution of proper politics would no doubt remove many of Northern Ireland’s problems and would certainly allow the people of Northern Ireland to decide their elected representatives on a political basis rather than religious bigotry and sectarian hatred. Without the evolution of proper politics the people of Northern Ireland will continually be manipulated by sectarian politicians and anti-secularist clergy who make no contribution to the social and economic well-being of the people or the country but only continue to fan the flames -

Engag- ing with the theme of ‘violence in the garden’ as articulated by such scholars as Zygmunt Bauman and Martin Jay, I reflect on Beijing as a ‘garden of violence’, both before the rise of the socialist state in 1949, and during the years leading up to the 2008 Olympics. KEYWORDS: gardens, violence, party culture, Chinese history, Chinese politics, cultivation, revolution The gardening impulse This paper offers a brief examination of the history of Beijing in relation to gardens— imperial, princely, socialist, public and private—and the impetus of the ‘gardener’, in particular during the twentieth century. -

I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources has been acknowledged. Matthew James Brazil i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Before and during this project I met a number of people who, directly or otherwise, encouraged my belief that Chinese Communist intelligence was not too difficult a subject for academic study. Michael Dutton and Scot Tanner provided invaluable direction at the very beginning. James Mulvenon requires special thanks for regular encouragement over the years and generosity with his time, guidance, and library. Richard Corsa, Monte Bullard, Tom Andrukonis, Robert W. Rice, Bill Weinstein, Roderick MacFarquhar, the late Frank Holober, Dave Small, Moray Taylor Smith, David Shambaugh, Steven Wadley, Roger Faligot, Jean Hung and the staff at the Universities Service Centre in Hong Kong, and the kind personnel at the KMT Archives in Taipei are the others who can be named. Three former US diplomats cannot, though their generosity helped my understanding of links between modern PRC intelligence operations and those before 1949. -
