  • 1492 Reconsidered: Religious and Social Change in Fifteenth Century Ávila
    1492 RECONSIDERED: RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN FIFTEENTH CENTURY ÁVILA by Carolyn Salomons A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May 2014 © 2014 Carolyn Salomons All Rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation is an assessment of the impact of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 on the city of Ávila, in northwestern Castile. The expulsion was the culmination of a series of policies set forth by Isabel I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon regarding Jewish-Christian relations. The monarchs invoked these policies in order to bolster the faith and religious praxis of Catholics in the kingdoms, especially those Catholics newly converted from Judaism. My work shows how the implementation of these strategies began to fracture the heretofore relatively convivial relations between the confessional groups residing in Ávila. A key component of the Crown’s policies was the creation of a Jewish quarter in the city, where previously, Jews had lived wherever they chose. This transformation of a previously shared civic place to one demarcated clearly by religious affiliation, i.e. the creation of both Jewish and Christian space, had a visceral impact on how Christians related to their former neighbors, and hostilities between the two communities increased in the closing decades of the fifteenth century. Yet at the same time, Jewish appeals to the Crown for assistance in the face of harassment and persecution were almost always answered positively, with the Crown intervening several times on behalf of their Jewish subjects. This seemingly incongruous attitude reveals a key component in the relationship between the Crown and Jews: the “royal alliance.” My work also details how invoking that alliance came at the expense of the horizontal alliances between Abulense Jews and Christians, and only fostered antagonism between the confessional groups.

  • Criminal Background Check Procedures
    Shaping the future of international education New Edition Criminal Background Check Procedures CIS in collaboration with other agencies has formed an International Task Force on Child Protection chaired by CIS Executive Director, Jane Larsson, in order to apply our collective resources, expertise, and partnerships to help international school communities address child protection challenges. Member Organisations of the Task Force: • Council of International Schools • Council of British International Schools • Academy of International School Heads • U.S. Department of State, Office of Overseas Schools • Association for the Advancement of International Education • International Schools Services • ECIS CIS is the leader in requiring police background check documentation for Educator and Leadership Candidates as part of the overall effort to ensure effective screening. Please obtain a current police background check from your current country of employment/residence as well as appropriate documentation from any previous country/countries in which you have worked. It is ultimately a school’s responsibility to ensure that they have appropriate police background documentation for their Educators and CIS is committed to supporting them in this endeavour. It is important to demonstrate a willingness and effort to meet the requirement and obtain all of the paperwork that is realistically possible. This document is the result of extensive research into governmental, law enforcement and embassy websites. We have tried to ensure where possible that the information has been obtained from official channels and to provide links to these sources.

This report cover the period between July 1 and December 31, 2019, and presents the findings of 1,251 field missions conducted in 594 communities pertaining to 191 municipalities in 20 departments of Colombia. Those communities included municipal capitals, townships, villages, indigenous reserves [resguardos], and community councils. In the period covered, the Mission logged a total of 295,933 kilometers by land, and 5,961 kilometers by river. The support of the international community is vital for the MAPP/OAS to be able to carry out the activities envisaged in its mandate. The GS/OAS therefore wishes to thank the donors and friends of the MAPP/OAS, in particular the Basket Fund countries (Germany, Canada, Spain, United States, Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Sweden) whose political and financial support makes it possible for the mission to carry out its functions.

  • Royal Thai Police Award the Exodus Road After Upgrade in U.S
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 2018 ROYAL THAI POLICE AWARD THE EXODUS ROAD AFTER UPGRADE IN U.S. TRAFFICKING REPORT The Exodus Road was among six NGOs awarded by the Royal Thai Police for contributing to the significant improvement in preventing and suppressing human trafficking in the country. Delivered by the Deputy National Police Commissioner Pol. Gen. Srivara Ransibrahmanakul, the Royal Thai Police award comes after the U.S. Department of State’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons upgraded Thailand’s ranking to Tier 2 in its 2018 Trafficking in Persons Report (TIP) released on June 28, 2018. This marks Thailand’s best ranking in the TIP Report in a decade. During the awards ceremony, two Udon cases facilitated by The Exodus Road in April 2018, which led to the rescue of two boys and one girl, and the arrest of two traffickers and six clients, were highlighted. “We hope this important award will lead to more partnership and collaboration in the future,” said Kevin Campbell, Director of Operations for The Exodus Road. Other organizations recognized by the Royal Thai Police for their efforts to prevent and suppress human trafficking include Homeland Security Investigation, Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Australia-Asia Program to Combat Trafficking in Persons. “It was an honor to see The Exodus Road being recognized along with these major regional and national institutions. I’m extremely encouraged by the hard work and success of our team in Thailand,” Mr. Campbell added. The 2018 TIP Report applauded Thailand for increased prosecutions and convictions of traffickers and a decrease in prosecution time for trafficking cases through the use of specialized anti-trafficking law enforcement divisions.

    Volume 90 Number 870 June 2008 Address by General Jean-Rene´ Bachelet General Jean-Rene´ Bachelet (2nd Son) was General Inspector of the Armed Forces of the French Republic. In 1995 he commanded the Sarajevo sector in the former Yugoslavia for UNPROFOR, during the paroxysm of the siege until its lifting. Between 1999 and 2004 he led a study to draw up an ethical and behaviour framework for the army and initiated an ambitious reform of the initial training of officers at Saint Cyr, the foremost French military academy. He gave the following opening address at the Interregional Meeting on the Role of Sanctions in Ensuring Greater Respect for International Humanitarian Law, held in Geneva on 15–17 November 2007. When I was invited to introduce this subject, my initial fear was that you were taking a risk in giving the floor to someone who has spent 42 years in uniform and in the infantry at that. This is a meeting of experts and I am obviously no expert on international law, let alone on the sanctions which are intended to reinforce it. However, my impression that, in asking me to speak, you had picked the wrong person was dispelled when, having read your documentation, I realized that the backdrop for the subject was in fact wartime behaviour, a topic with which I am not exactly unfamiliar. The least I can do is to start by setting the scene. It is important and even crucial to appreciate the atmosphere surrounding wartime events if one wishes to understand what prompts people’s behaviour.

  • Engraved on Spain's Memory
    Engraved on Spain’s Memory A case study of political discourses present in the media concerning three cemeteries for victims of the Civil War and the Francoist dictatorship, and their contested contribution to national reconciliation. Francisco Soto Fernández Communication for Development One-year master 15 Credits June 2021 Supervisor: Kersti Wissenbach ABSTRACT This Degree Project deals with the current discourses present on several (web)sites of memory related to three selected cemeteries for victims of the Civil War and the Francoist dictatorship and analyzes their potential contribution to national reconciliation, taking into consideration the presumed social or political interests of the actors behind the (web)sites. Collective memory must be seen as a social construction since memory stems from the shared remembrances of society and relates to key social concepts such as identity. Memory is a changeable device forged through a transformative process in which different actors are involved, from direct witnesses to memory spaces, and recently, the Internet. Memory is also discourse and as discourse is aimed at achieving power by controlling the group. Lately, the Internet has become a battlefield for competing memories, and (web)sites of memory are an opportunity to impose, in the post-truth era, a partial version of historical events. With the purpose of providing answers about whether current discourses present on (web)sites of memory can help achieve national reconciliation, this DP makes use of Discourse Analysis as a primary method, and also in-depth semi-structured interviews - in a limited number - to attain a better understanding through the uniqueness of the knowledge generated by the respondents.
