Peacemaking in Asia and the Pacific 5 Foreword It is a pleasure and an honour to be writing the introduction to this valuable HD Centre publication Peacemaking in Asia Pacific: Women’s participation, perspec- tives and priorities. This brief and accessible publication offers those who work in and on peace processes a range of new and useful evidence and pointers not only for implementing UN Security Council Resolution 1325 and its sister resolutions, but simply for creating better peace processes. While the issue of women’s involvement in peace process continues to be a real and burning issue for those of us working in Nepal, this is truly a global concern. Showing leadership on achieving equal representation by men and women in influential positions continues to be a global challenge, not least in the organisation I represent – the United Nations (UN). The first woman to head any peacekeeping or political mission for the UN was appointed nearly fifty years after its founding – Margaret Joan Anstee (Special Representative of the Secretary General to Angola 1992-3). Seventeen years after Dame Margaret’s appointment, in early 2009, I became only the eighth woman in the UN to head such a mission. However, to date, the UN has yet to appoint a woman as a dedicated lead mediator in support of any major, comprehensive peace agreement process. The growing body of research showing the influence of women on peace agreements indeed underlines that the benefits are important and all to the good. But linking the engagement of women in peace negotiations to what they have suffered still underscores women’s experience as victims. This publication helps to remind us that women have a right to sit at the negotiating table as actors with a stake in the future of their country and with a stake in international peace and security. Women belong there as decision-makers and as problem-solvers. Women working our way into top national and international political and peacemaking posts is an achievement in itself, and still a very incomplete one that needs much more support. In June 2010, I took part in the global open day in 6 Women at the Peace Table Asia Pacific Kathmandu on Resolution 1325. On that day, I was reminded of the experiences of women during and as a result of the conflict in Nepal, and also of the enormous resources and engagement among Nepali women whether they are members of the Constituent Assembly, active in civil society, or approaching the issues from a more academic point of view. I am convinced this is not a resource unique to Nepal. We need to see more women in the formal and informal processes where decisions on peace and security are made, here and all

  • Cultural Landscape Inventory December 2005 (Revisions Aug 2011)
    Camp Randall Memorial Park Cultural Landscape Inventory December 2005 (Revisions Aug 2011) Quinn Evans|Architects University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Landscape Architecture, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Division of Facilities Planning and Management ©2011, Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System University of Wisconsin-Madison Cultural Landscape Inventory DEFINITIONS What is a “cultural landscape”? The following document is based on concepts and techniques developed by the National Park Service (NPS). The NPS has produced a series of manuals for identifying, describing, and maintaining culturally significant landscapes within the national park system.1 The National Park Service defines a cultural landscape as a geographic area, including both cultural and natural resources and the wildlife or domestic animals therein[,] associated with a historic event, activity, or person, or [one] that exhibits other cultural or aesthetic values.2 In 1925, geographer Carl Sauer (1889-1975) summarized the process that creates cultural landscapes: “Culture is the agent, the natural area is the medium, the cultural landscape the result.” 3 Similarly, the writer J. B. Jackson (1909-1996) looked upon the landscape as a composition of spaces made or modified by humans “to serve as infrastructure or background for our collective existence.”4 What is a “cultural landscape inventory”? 5 This cultural landscape inventory for Camp Randall Memorial Park is one of eight such studies completed as part of the UW-Madison Cultural Landscape Resource Plan. Each inventory defines the boundaries of a distinct cultural landscape on campus, summarizes its history, describes its current condition, and makes recommendations about its treatment.

  • The State of Human Rights in Ten Asian Nations
    The State of Human Rights in Ten Asian Nations - 2011 Asian Nations Ten of Human Rights in State The The State of Human Rights he State of Human Rights in Ten Asian Nations in Ten Asian Nations - 2011 T - 2011 is the Asian Human Rights Commission’s (AHRC) annual report, comprising information and analysis on the human rights violations and situations it encountered through its work in 2011. The report includes in-depth assessments of the situations in Bangladesh, Burma, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka and Thailand. The AHRC works on individual human rights cases in each of these countries and assists victims in their attempts to seek redress through their domestic legal systems, despite the difficulties encountered in each context. Through this work, the organisation gains detailed practical knowledge of the obstacles and systemic lacuna that prevent the effective protection of rights and enable impunity for the perpetrators of violations. Based on this, the organisation then makes recommendations concerning needed reforms to the legal frameworks and state institutions in each setting. This work aims to enable the realisation of rights in a region that remains blighted by crippled institutions of the rule of law, which are enabling systemic impunity for the gamut of grave human rights violations, including torture, forced disappearances, extra-judicial killings, attacks on and discrimination against minorities, women and human rights defenders, as well as widespread violations of a range of other

  • Political Context in 2009, Poverty Remained a Reality for Millions of People in India, As UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Ms
    INDIA observatory for the protection of human rights defenders ANNUAL REPORT 2010 Political context In 2009, poverty remained a reality for millions of people in India, as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Ms. Navanethem Pillay emphasized on the occasion of her visit to India in March 2009. Indeed, benefits and dividends of the economic liberalisation1 and rapid economic growth were not always shared equally . In particular, the poorest and most marginalised groups, primarily the Dalits and Adivasis, continued to face discrimination despite the illegality of the caste system and to live in deep poverty. Landless farmers and Adivasis were also subjected to forced evictions in several States due to industrial and other business projects. In addition, widespread asymmetries in power and wealth were “com- pounded by the persistence of gaps in the implementation of higher courts’ decisions […] and of national laws and policies that promote and protect human rights and seek to2 support the most vulnerable”, as underlined by the High Commissioner . Indeed, human rights violations continued to be rampant in 2009, while impunity for those abuses remained widespread, especially as Section 197 of the Criminal Procedure Code and the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in areas affected by armed uprising3 still provided protection from prosecution to the police and security forces . Moreover, the Government amended the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act of 1967 in December 2008, which, inter alia, extends the detention without bail period from 90 to 180 days and police custody from 15 to 30 days, 1 / See Statement by Ms. Navanethem Pillay, High Commissioner for Human Rights at the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), March 23, 2009.
