Blacks, Dalits, Indigenous nations of the Americas, Roma, FPalestinians, and other racialized communities carried each others’ banners and took up each others’ cries for a world without racism and apartheid. There was ample reason to hope that global civil society had achieved a victory in the quest for redress after centuries of racist oppression. The civil society consensus emerging from Durban crystallized around a set of clear demands: vapid verbal condemnations of racism were not sufficient; perpetrators and benefactor states of racism and colonialism needed to make structural changes and pay reparations for their actions in accordance with international law. But the states implicated were not interested in taking any meaningful responsibility. They responded with a Zionist-led offensive that used the groundswell of support for the Palestinian cause to smear the conference as an “anti-Semitic hate-fest.” This phrase was picked up and disseminated by Western states and their corporate media machines, attempting to turn Durban into a four- letter word. Two days after the conference, the 9/11 attacks in the United States took place, and the world’s attention shifted to the “war on terror.” Any attempt to challenge the powerful myth-making about the Durban Conference became futile. In addition to increasing U.S. and Israeli impunity, the years that followed the Durban Conference were marked by growing international solidarity with the Palestinian struggle. This globalization of this solidarity with the Palestinian cause developed increasingly sophisticated networks and strategies, within the framework of the 2005 Palestinian civil society call for boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) on Israel until it complies with international law. A prominent feature of the BDS campaign is its role in connecting local community struggles against oppression in different parts of the world with the movement against Israel’s apartheid regime. 2 al-Majdal (Spring/Summer 2009) Editorial Many activists hoped that another World Conference Against Racism scheduled to take place in Geneva in April 2009 – the Durban Review Conference (DRC) - would provide the forum for organizing and advancing upon the work done during and since the first conference. But Israel and its Western allies responded by working diplomatically to mobilize a state-level boycott of the DRC, which was eventually heeded by ten states including the U.S. and

Signature: ……… ………Creede Newton……………………………......... CEU eTD Collection Abstract The effect of New Media in the wave of protests that swept the Arab World in 2011-2012 has generated a large body of scholarly work due to the widespread calls for democratization in a region that had been entirely under the control of authoritarian leaders for decades. However, in the wake of these protest there has been little research into what effect New Media had those countries which did not experience regime change. This paper will examine the impact of New Media on the policies of the Palestinian Authority. It will show that New Media has the potential for an increase in democratic characteristics, i.e. steps towards a more transparent government that listens to the people, even in the absence of successful democratization.

  • The Politics of Israel/Palestine Thursdays 2:35-5:25 Course Location: CB 3208 (Please Confirm on Carleton Central)
    PSCI 5915-W Winter 2019 Special Topics: The Politics of Israel/Palestine Thursdays 2:35-5:25 Course Location: CB 3208 (Please confirm on Carleton Central) Department of Political Science Carleton University Prof. Mira Sucharov Office: C678 Loeb [email protected] Office Hours: Weds 2:30-3:55 or by appointment. (Please do not use my voice mail. Email is the best way to reach me. [email protected]) Course Description: This course examines the politics of Israel/Palestine. It would be customary in IR and political science when studying one country or region to consider it a “case” of something. But as we will see, the politics around Israel-Palestine is in large part animated by the contestation over such classification. Is it a case of protracted conflict? A case of colonial oppression? A case of human rights violations? A case of competing nationalisms? The course will examine these competing (though not necessarily mutually-exclusive) frameworks. The course proceeds both chronologically and conceptually/thematically. Those without a basic knowledge of the case might wish to purchase a textbook to read early on. (Suggestions: those by Dowty, Smith, and Caplan.) In addition, to further explore op-ed writing (and social media engagement, especially around sensitive topics), you may want to consult my book on the topic (optional), which should be out in mid-to-late January.

    Context of the Harvard Sussex Draft Convention A Documented Chronology of Events during 1996 through 2010 Nicholas Dragffy HSP Associate 22 March 2011 Published without footnotes in The CBW Conventions Bulletin special issue of February 2011 1 Introduction The Harvard Sussex Draft Convention would make it a crime under international law for any person, regardless of official position, to develop, produce, acquire, stockpile, retain, transfer, or use biological or chemical weapons; to assist, encourage, induce, order, or direct anyone to engage in any such activities; or to threaten or engage in preparations to use such weapons. To do so, the Draft Convention would provide national courts with extensive jurisdiction – including, to a limited extent, universal jurisdiction – over such crimes and remove the defence of state immunity in relation thereto. This chronology sets out developments relevant to the international criminalization of CBW since the Draft Convention was conceived in 1996. The focus is on state behaviour in regard to applicable and developing legal concepts. The chronology also charts the emergence of the Draft Convention into civil society With regard to universal jurisdiction and state immunity, the chronology focuses primarily on developments in Belgium, France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom. Each of these states has passed legislation conferring universal jurisdiction on its courts, and in each state both victims and non-governmental organizations have filed lawsuits on universal jurisdiction grounds.
