  • The Geneva Conventions and Public International
    Volume 91 Number 875 September 2009 REPORTS AND DOCUMENTS The Geneva Conventions and Public International Law British Foreign and Commonwealth Office Conference commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, London, 9 July 2009 Address by Theodor Meron, Judge and former President of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, Professor of International Law and holder of the Charles L. Denison Chair at New York University Law School With sixty years of hindsight, it seems particularly appropriate to reflect on the trajectory of international humanitarian law (IHL) as shaped by the 1949 Geneva Conventions. The near universal acceptance of the Conventions and their secure integration into the international system can sometimes lead us to underestimate the significance of their impact. It is this transformative impact on public inter- national law which will be the focus of this note. To start, I will briefly review the historical context from which the 1949 Conventions materialized. Calamitous events and atrocities have always driven the development of IHL. In 1863, the American Civil War gave rise to the Lieber Code. This ultimately gave birth to the branch of IHL commonly known as the Hague Law, which governs the conduct of hostilities. One hundred and fifty years ago, the battle of Solferino – immortalized in Henry Dunant’s moving memoir of suffering and bloodshed – inspired the Red Cross Movement. Thence began the other branch of IHL, the Geneva Law, which – starting with the first Geneva Convention in 1864 – has provided for the protection of victims of war, the sick, the wounded, prisoners and civilians.

  • Unification of Italy 1792 to 1925 French Revolutionary Wars to Mussolini
    UNIFICATION OF ITALY 1792 TO 1925 FRENCH REVOLUTIONARY WARS TO MUSSOLINI ERA SUMMARY – UNIFICATION OF ITALY Divided Italy—From the Age of Charlemagne to the 19th century, Italy was divided into northern, central and, southern kingdoms. Northern Italy was composed of independent duchies and city-states that were part of the Holy Roman Empire; the Papal States of central Italy were ruled by the Pope; and southern Italy had been ruled as an independent Kingdom since the Norman conquest of 1059. The language, culture, and government of each region developed independently so the idea of a united Italy did not gain popularity until the 19th century, after the Napoleonic Wars wreaked havoc on the traditional order. Italian Unification, also known as "Risorgimento", refers to the period between 1848 and 1870 during which all the kingdoms on the Italian Peninsula were united under a single ruler. The most well-known character associated with the unification of Italy is Garibaldi, an Italian hero who fought dozens of battles for Italy and overthrew the kingdom of Sicily with a small band of patriots, but this romantic story obscures a much more complicated history. The real masterminds of Italian unity were not revolutionaries, but a group of ministers from the kingdom of Sardinia who managed to bring about an Italian political union governed by ITALY BEFORE UNIFICATION, 1792 B.C. themselves. Military expeditions played an important role in the creation of a United Italy, but so did secret societies, bribery, back-room agreements, foreign alliances, and financial opportunism. Italy and the French Revolution—The real story of the Unification of Italy began with the French conquest of Italy during the French Revolutionary Wars.

  • Nobel Peace Speech
    Nobel peace speech Associate Professor Joshua FRYE Humboldt State University USA [email protected] Macy SUCHAN Humboldt State University USA [email protected] Abstract: The Nobel Peace Prize has long been considered the premier peace prize in the world. According to Geir Lundestad, Secretary of the Nobel Committee, of the 300 some peace prizes awarded worldwide, “none is in any way as well known and as highly respected as the Nobel Peace Prize” (Lundestad, 2001). Nobel peace speech is a unique and significant international site of public discourse committed to articulating the universal grammar of peace. Spanning over 100 years of sociopoliti- cal history on the world stage, Nobel Peace Laureates richly represent an important cross-section of domestic and international issues increasingly germane to many publics. Communication scholars’ interest in this rhetorical genre has increased in the past decade. Yet, the norm has been to analyze a single speech artifact from a prestigious or controversial winner rather than examine the collection of speeches for generic commonalities of import. In this essay, we analyze the discourse of No- bel peace speech inductively and argue that the organizing principle of the Nobel peace speech genre is the repetitive form of normative liberal principles and values that function as rhetorical topoi. These topoi include freedom and justice and appeal to the inviolable, inborn right of human beings to exercise certain political and civil liberties and the expectation of equality of protection from totalitarian and tyrannical abuses. The significance of this essay to contemporary communication theory is to expand our theoretical understanding of rhetoric’s role in the maintenance and de- velopment of an international and cross-cultural vocabulary for the grammar of peace.

This situation has made the search for a single Austro-Hungarian identity so difficult that many historians have declared it impossible. Yet the Dual Monarchy possessed one potentially unifying cultural aspect that has long been critically neglected: the extensive repertoire of marches and patriotic music performed by the military bands of the Imperial and Royal Austro- Hungarian Army. This Militärmusik actively blended idioms representing the various nationalist musics from around the empire in an attempt to reflect and even celebrate its multinational makeup.

Roots of the Red Cross date back Cross to 1859, when Swiss businessman, Henry Dunant, witnessed the bloody aftermath of the Battle of Solferino in Italy, where there was little medical support for injured soldiers.

In 1859, The bloody battle was between Franco Spotlight -Sardinian and Austrian forces near the small village of Solferino, Italy. The fighting had left some 40,000 troops dead, wounded or missing, and both the armies, as well as the residents of the region, were ill-equipped to deal with the situation. By 1862, Dunant published a book, Memories of Solferino, in which he advocated for the establishment of national relief organizations . The following year, Dunant was part of a Swiss-based committee that put together a plan for national relief associa- tions. The group, which eventually became known as the International Committee of the Red Cross, adopted the symbol of a red cross on a white background, an inversion of the Swiss flag, as a way to identify medical workers on the battlefield.
