  • Sudan: Interaction Between International and National Judicial Responses to the Mass Atrocities in Darfur
    SUDAN: INTERACTION BETWEEN INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL JUDICIAL RESPONSES TO THE MASS ATROCITIES IN DARFUR BY SIGALL HOROVITZ DOMAC/19, APRIL 2013 ABOUT DOMAC THE DOMAC PROJECT focuses on the actual interaction between national and international courts involved in prosecuting individuals in mass atrocity situations. It explores what impact international procedures have on prosecution rates before national courts, their sentencing policies, award of reparations and procedural legal standards. It comprehensively examines the problems presented by the limited response of the international community to mass atrocity situations, and offers methods to improve coordination of national and international proceedings and better utilization of national courts, inter alia, through greater formal and informal avenues of cooperation, interaction and resource sharing between national and international courts. THE DOMAC PROJECT is a research program funded under the Seventh Framework Programme for EU Research (FP7) under grant agreement no. 217589. The DOMAC project is funded under the Socio-economic sciences and Humanities Programme for the duration of three years starting 1st February 2008. THE DOMAC PARTNERS are Hebrew University, Reykjavik University, University College London, University of Amsterdam, and University of Westminster. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Sigall Horovitz is a PhD candidate at Faculty of Law of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She holds an LL.M. from Columbia University (2003).

  • Briefing on Torture in Sudan[1]
    Briefing paper (Post)-Covid19 era in Sudan: The urgency to unravel the torture and inhuman treatments system one year after the Transition The Covid-19 crisis is appearing in many African countries, including Sudan, as a revealing crisis which calls particular attention to the preexisting and worrying situation, mainly in the prison system marred by overcrowding, insufficient and inadequate sanitation and the lack of resources. In Sudan, torture and inhuman treatments have been used as a governing tool and prisons as dying houses for political activists and civil society organisation leaders. This briefing identifies priorities for torture and reform in Sudan by the transitional government including law reform, accountability, rehabilitation and compensation of torture victims. It also critically looks at the measures adopted to prevent the propagation of Covid-19 in detention facilities and the capacity of authorities to protect the health of detainees.

Auch Proteste und Demonstrationen haben stets Gewaltpotenzial. 54 % der Bevölkerung sind von akuter Nahrungsmittelknappheit bedroht, davon 30 Prozent von Hungersnot. Es wird zwar eine einigermaßen gute Ernte erwartet, jedoch stellen die schlechten Transportwege ein andauerndes Problem dar. Die allgemeine wirtschaftliche Lage ist noch schlechter als im Sudan. Die Korruption ist weiterhin sehr verbreitet und nimmt immer weiter zu, auch innerhalb der Kirchen. Es leben immer noch über 800.000 Flüchtlinge und Asylsuchende in Camps in Uganda. 1.5. Mio. IDPs leben im Südsudan. Mit Neuabschluss eines Friedensvertrags im September 2018 sind politisch motivierte Kampfhandlungen zwischen den Konfliktparteien mit wenigen Ausnahmen, vor allem in Zentraläquatoria, landesweit zwar zurückgegangen.

  • Gendered Forms of Protest: Do Women’S Participation Affect the Outcome of Nonviolent Campaigns?
    GENDERED FORMS OF PROTEST: DO WOMEN’S PARTICIPATION AFFECT THE OUTCOME OF NONVIOLENT CAMPAIGNS? EMELIE HANNA Master's Thesis Spring 2020 Department of Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University Supervisor: Kristine Höglund Word Count: 22 959 Abstract Over the last decades, the world has not only seen an increase in nonviolent campaigns that challenge regimes, but also a dramatic increase in women’s participation in those campaigns. Despite this trend, there are few studies that explain if and how women influence nonviolent campaign outcomes. This study seeks to contribute to this understudied topic by exploring whether female protestors have an effect on the outcomes of nonviolent campaigns. The research question is: Why do some nonviolent campaigns succeed, while others fail? By synthesizing sociological concepts with rational agency-based factors that have proven to produce successful outcomes, I construct three gender-related campaign dimensions: (1) gender framing techniques; (2) gender experiences; and (3) shared gender-equal attitudes, that I argue increase the likelihood of successful campaigns. I evaluate the theoretical arguments in a case study using the method of structured focused comparison on the Sudanese Revolution in Sudan (2018-2019), the Anti-Mubarak Campaign in Egypt (2011), and the Anti-Bouteflika Campaign in Algeria (2011). I find that campaigns that are influenced by gender dimensions also succeed in achieving some or a majority of their goals, while campaigns that are not influenced by gender dimensions fail to achieve their goals. ii Acknowledgements This thesis would never have been finalized if it was not for the support from a number of people to whom I am deeply grateful.
