A-1 TABLE OF AUTHORITIES ....................................................................................................... A-3 ii 613 Annex 24 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2013, following years of diplomatic engagement, several States of the Gulf Cooperation Council, including Qatar, concluded an Agreement by which they committed themselves to cease supporting, financing or harbouring persons or groups presenting a danger to each other’s national security, in particular terrorist groups; two supplemental agreements to the same end were concluded in 2014 (the 2013 and 2014 agreements are jointly called “the Riyadh Agreements”). When subsequently Qatar failed to abide by the Riyadh Agreements and its other relevant international obligations, and after repeated calls upon Qatar to honour its commitments were of no avail, the Respondents took measures on 5 June 2017 to induce Qatar to comply with its international obligations. The actions taken by the Respondents—including, in particular, the airspace closures— constitute a package of measures adopted in reaction to Qatar’s multiple, grave, and persistent breaches of its international obligations relating to matters essential to the security of the Respondents, and constitute lawful countermeasures authorised by general international law. Under international law, breaches of international obligations entitle states to adopt countermeasures, provided they are proportionate and reversible. Resolution of the claims submitted in this case by Qatar would necessarily require the Council to determine issues forming part of the wider dispute between the Parties. In particular, the Council would have to determine, amongst other things, whether Qatar had breached its relevant counter-terrorism obligations under international law, and its binding international obligations not to interfere in the internal affairs of its neighbours. The narrow dispute submitted by Qatar to the Council relating to airspace closures cannot be separated from these broader issues and the legality of the airspace closures cannot be judged in isolation. Under Article 84 of the Chicago Convention, the jurisdiction of the Council is limited to “any disagreement between two or more contracting States relating to the interpretation or application” of the Chicago Convention and its Annexes. Accordingly, the Council does not have jurisdiction to adjudicate issues as to whether Qatar has breached its other obligations under international law. The Council’s limited jurisdiction is consistent with ICAO’s role as a specialised agency of the United Nations. While the Council has considerable expertise in the technical aspects of aviation enshrined in the Chicago Convention, it is not well-suited or iii 614 Annex 24 well-equipped to handle disputes of a wider nature such as those described above, including issues regarding terrorism and other matters related thereto. In short, as the Council recognised at its Extraordinary Session on 31 July 2017, there are wider, overarching issues underlying the disagreement that need to be addressed in an appropriate, non-technical forum. In light of the fact that the Council does not have jurisdiction to resolve the wider legal issues—issues that it would necessarily have to determine to

ZELIN Tunisia should really open its embassy in Raqqa, not Damascus.

Tunisians figure disproportionately among the foreign jihadist cohort, yet their ubiquity is somewhat confounding. Why Tunisians? This study aims to bring clarity to this question by examining Tunisia’s foreign fighter networks mobilized to Syria and Iraq since 2011, when insurgencies shook those two countries amid the broader Arab Spring uprisings. ©2018 THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE FOR NEAR EAST POLICY.

  • The Military Coup in Mali, 22 March 2012. Reflections on the Demise of Democracy and the Importance of Civil – Military Relations
    THE MILITARY COUP IN MALI, 22 MARCH 2012. REFLECTIONS ON THE DEMISE OF DEMOCRACY AND THE IMPORTANCE OF CIVIL – MILITARY RELATIONS Thomas C. BRUNEAU, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of National Security Affairs Florina Cristiana (Cris) MATEI, Lecturer Center for Civil – Military Relations, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, USA The coup in Bamako, on 22 March 2012 both gave lie to the apparent stability of Mali as a democratic country and resulted in the taking of power of an assortment of armed combatants in the North of the country, which resulted in armed intervention by France. This article is about the coup itself that created the power vacuum allowing the insurrection to grow and ultimately take power in the North. The authors have developed a framework for analyzing civil – military relations they believe is more useful than other available frameworks in understanding the role of the military in politics. Key words: Coup in Mali, Civil - Military Relations, Al-Qa'ida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). 1. INTRODUCTION the case of Mali may be particularly dramatic given the long history of In this article we build on the insurgents in the North of the country conceptual framework of Samuel E. and the fact that the demands on the Finer in The Man on Horseback: The armed forces for fighting insurgents Role of the Military in Politics, and seriously increased after the collapse use the case study of the North West of the Muammar el-Qaddafi regime African country of Mali.

Even so, that any analysis of democratic civil we believe that sooner or later most – military relations must be attuned, armed forces will be required to do as Finer’s book so convincingly something concrete by the civilian demonstrates, to the potential for leaders and, if the requirements we a military coup to overthrow a posit for control and effectiveness are democratic regime [1].

Malevolent Destruction of a Muslim Charity: A Commentary on the Prosecution of Benevolence International Foundation Matthew J. Piers Three years ago we, as a nation, suffered a ghastly act of mass murder and terrorism apparently perpetrated by the self-proclaimed Islamic fundamentalist group, al Qaeda. A remarkable thing occurred in the wake of this tragedy: the United States, already feared and respected as the world's sole remaining super power, became the object of a tidal wave of international support and sympathy. Perhaps never before in our nation's relatively short history have so many hands and hearts reached out to us. The potential to build on this historic outpouring of support and sympathy, both domestically and internationally, was enormous.

  • One Big #Lie from the Arab Spring to the Islamic State
    One big #lie From the Arab Spring to the Islamic State. Post Arab Spring institutional failures causes frustration, leading up to expressions of aggression, wherefore the Islamic State provides space to utter it. Master thesis by Beitske Meinema (s1910337) [email protected] MA International Relations: Global Conflict in the Modern Era Leiden University Supervisor: Dr. S. Bellucci 2018 ABSTRACT The year 2010 marks the beginning of a series of protests and uprisings in North Africa, which sparked a revolution that Western media would soon refer to as “The Arab Spring Uprisings”. The protests are mostly conducted by the youth of the MENA region who are discontent with the government. This generation realizes that due to unemployment, high inflation, poverty, human rights abuses and corruption they are caught in a vacuum, with no bright future with progress and evolution of their country and blame this on the Arab dictators. Tunisia and Morocco both experienced the Arab Spring differently in terms of violence by the state, but in both countries the protests are effective and big changes are promised. In Tunisia the Ben Ali Presidency is overthrown, while in Morocco King Mohammed VI remains king. Also, in both countries the desired democracy is established and democratic elections take place. However, the circumstances do not really change the civil lives. Unemployment remains a problem, police violence still occurs, the freedom and human rights are still violated and the rule of law does not change the situation in favour of the community. The frustrated youth seeks new ways to clear the void in their lives.
