ARAB SPRING, LIBYAN LIBERATION AND THE EXTERNALLY IMPOSED DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTION HAIDER ALA HAMOUDIt For generations, the United States of America has played a unique role as an anchor of global security and advocate for human freedom. Mindful of the risks and costs of military action, we are naturally re- luctant to use force to solve the world's many challenges. But when our interests and values are at stake, we have a responsibility to act. -Barack Obama, March 28, 2011 (justifying the NATO intervention in Libya). I. INTRODUCTION Contemporary events in the Arab world should cause us to wonder what happened to our commitment to the democratic revolution. Ameri- ca's understanding of its own role in supporting democratic orders is, as a result of the so-called Arab Spring, as confused as it has ever been. I hope in these few pages to expound upon these ideas of democractic commitments and their consequences, which must command greater con- sideration.

  • Peacekeeping Without the UN: the Multinational Force in Lebanon and International Law
    Peacekeeping Without the UN: The Multinational Force in Lebanon and International Law Brian L. Zimblert The concept of peacekeeping' entails a fundamental contradiction, since its success depends upon the deployment of soldiers to deter armed conflict.2 Some notable peacekeeping efforts since World War II have sought to overcome this contradiction by stressing their impartial char- acter, and by adopting procedures designed to guarantee the neutral be- havior of their forces.3 Most such peacekeeping missions have been established and conducted under UN auspices,4 on the assumption that an international body could best approximate the neutral, detached per- spective ideally suited to successful peacekeeping. Indeed, UN-spon- sored missions have reinforced this assumption by adopting a legal and technical framework which enhanced their reputation as neutral inter- venors. While the appearance of neutrality has not always averted con- troversy in peacekeeping efforts,5 it has generally increased their chances t J.D. Candidate, Harvard University; M.A.L.D. Candidate, Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. 1. The concept of peacekeeping was developed by Lester Pearson, then-UN Secretary- General Dag Hammarskjold, and General E.L.M. Burns for application in the Suez crisis of 1956. See 1 S. BAILEY, How WARS END: THE UNITED NATIONS AND THE TERMINATION OF ARMED CONFLICT, 1946-1964 at 268-71 (1982). It evolved from the earlier notion of "peace observation," i.e., the sending of neutral observers to monitor truces and cease-fires, as first used by the UN in Indonesia, Kashmir, and Palestine. See generally D. WAINHOUSE, INTERNATIONAL PEACE OBSERVATION: A HISTORY AND FORECAST (1966).

  • Libya: Unrest and U.S. Policy
    Libya: Unrest and U.S. Policy Christopher M. Blanchard Acting Section Research Manager July 6, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33142 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Libya: Unrest and U.S. Policy Summary Over 40 years ago, Muammar al Qadhafi led a revolt against the Libyan monarchy in the name of nationalism, self-determination, and popular sovereignty. Opposition groups citing the same principles are now revolting against Qadhafi to bring an end to the authoritarian political system he has controlled in Libya for the last four decades. The Libyan government’s use of force against civilians and opposition forces seeking Qadhafi’s overthrow sparked an international outcry and led the United Nations Security Council to adopt Resolution 1973, which authorizes “all necessary measures” to protect Libyan civilians. The United States military is participating in Operation Unified Protector, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) military operation to enforce the resolution. Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and other partner governments also are participating. Qadhafi and his supporters have described the uprising as a foreign and Islamist conspiracy and are attempting to outlast their opponents. Qadhafi remains defiant amid coalition air strikes and defections. His forces continue to attack opposition-held areas. Some opposition figures have formed an Interim Transitional National Council (TNC), which claims to represent all areas of the country. They seek foreign political recognition and material support. Resolution 1973 calls for an immediate cease-fire and dialogue, declares a no-fly zone in Libyan airspace, and authorizes robust enforcement measures for the arms embargo on Libya established by Resolution 1970 of February 26.

  • Proportionality in War: Protecting Soldiers from Enemy Captivity, and Israel’S Operation Cast Lead—“The Soldiers Are Everyone’S Children”

INTRODUCTION On October 18, 2011, Israel struck a prisoner-exchange agreement with the Palestinian organization Hamas: Israel released 1027 Palestinian prisoners (jointly responsible for the death of some six-hundred Israelis) in return for one Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit.1 Past experience has amply proven that many of those released will return to further violence.2 Yet, within Israeli society, the deal was broadly accepted.3 Elsewhere, however, the reaction was quite different, with many of Israel’s most prominent and ardent supporters condemning the exchange.4 How are we to account for such disparate responses? What features of Israeli and, conversely, American society might explain this variation?

  • 5. the Palestinian Authority Security Forces and the Battle for Gaza
    THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY SECURITY FORCES: PAST AND PRESENT CHALLENGES Francesco Dotti, (Research Assistant, ICT) Spring 2017 ABSTRACT The purpose of this work is to identify and discuss several dimensions which affect the effectiveness of the Palestinian Authority Security Forces in the field of security and counter- terrorism. The analysis will touch upon, in addition to technical and organizational aspects, also the historical, cultural and political background of the Palestinian society and the outcomes of the assistance provided by international actors, such as the United States and Italy. In doing so, it will be possible to better understand which are the main challenges faced by the Palestinian security system in a systematic way. There are two main conclusions to this research: 1) The Palestinian Authority Security Forces are still far from being considered a professional quasi-military corp; 2) Analyzing socio-political dimensions of the Palestinian case is fundamental in order to understand the environment from which the Palestinian security apparatus emerged and how it has evolved over the years. **The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT). 2 Table of Contents 1.

    PWP Confict Studies Proxy War Dynamics in Libya Jalel Harchaoui and Mohamed-Essaïd Lazib PWP Confict Studies The Proxy Wars Project (PWP) aims to develop new insights for resolving the wars that beset the Arab world. While the conflicts in Yemen, Libya, Syria, and Iraq have internal roots, the US, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and others have all provided mil- itary and economic support to various belligerents. PWP Conflict Studies are papers written by recognized area experts that are designed to elucidate the complex rela- tionship between internal proxies and external sponsors. PWP is jointly directed by Ariel Ahram (Virginia Tech) and Ranj Alaaldin (Brookings Doha Center) and funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
