This project focuses on DMWs in Lebanon. In an increasingly globalized world, the study of DMWs, who number around 250,000 in Lebanon (Amnesty International, 2019), provides a critical case to understand how the transborder movement of humans generates unique and challenging human rights issues.

  • Here Is a Need for an Anti-Crisis Policy
    From Artsakh to Armenia: displaced children’s right to education. Summary This report focused on the rights of education of displaced children of the Republic of Artsakh in the Republic of Armenia, who flee their homeland due to the war of 2020 between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the territories of Artsakh. During negotiations regarding the disputed territory, the region and conflict are called Nagorno-Karabakh because it involves the unrecognized republic of Artsakh and 7 regions which were under Armenia forces control and were part of Artsakh’s administrative division and they were going to remain like that until the status of Artsakh was solved. So, during the whole report Artsakh and its 7 regions which were under Artsakh’s control, and were populated by indigenous Armenians who became now refugees, will be addressed as the Republic of Artsakh. Please note, that in direct quotations the region may be referred to as Nagorno-Karabakh. Although an agreement was signed and the war in Artsakh ended, not all displaced families want to go back, because now seven regions of Artsakh are under the control of Azerbaijan. The purpose of this report is to investigate how Armenia accommodates its obligation to respect, protect, and fulfill rights to education for displaced children of Artsakh. Despite the fact that it is not the first military conflict over territories of Artsakh, which caused forced displacement, no previously conducted fact-finding report was focused specifically on the right to education of children displaced to Armenia. This project aims to also increase awareness and draw the state's attention to the displaced children’s problems in Armenia, specifically their right to education.

  • Yield Estimation of the 2020 Beirut Explosion Using Open Access Waveform and Remote Sensing Data Christoph Pilger1*, Peter Gaebler1, Patrick Hupe1, Andre C
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Yield estimation of the 2020 Beirut explosion using open access waveform and remote sensing data Christoph Pilger1*, Peter Gaebler1, Patrick Hupe1, Andre C. Kalia1, Felix M. Schneider2, Andreas Steinberg1, Henriette Sudhaus3 & Lars Ceranna1 We report on a multi-technique analysis using publicly available data for investigating the huge, accidental explosion that struck the city of Beirut, Lebanon, on August 4, 2020. Its devastating shock wave led to thousands of injured with more than two hundred fatalities and caused immense damage to buildings and infrastructure. Our combined analysis of seismological, hydroacoustic, infrasonic and radar remote sensing data allows us to characterize the source as well as to estimate the explosive yield. The latter is determined within 0.13 to 2 kt TNT (kilotons of trinitrotoluene). This range is plausible given the reported 2.75 kt of ammonium nitrate as explosive source. As there are strict limitations for an on-site analysis of this catastrophic explosion, our presented approach based on data from open accessible global station networks and satellite missions is of high scientifc and social relevance that furthermore is transferable to other explosions. Te explosion that occurred in the city of Beirut, Lebanon, on the 4th of August 2020 around 18:08 local time (15:08 UTC) was caused by the combustion of approximately 2.75 kt of ammonium nitrate stored in a harbour warehouse, as announced by the government shortly aferwards. Tis accident led to thousands of casualties with more than two hundred fatalities 1. An enormous shock wave following the explosion caused immense damage to buildings and infrastructure, also shattering windows all over the city.

  • Escalation of Violence in Nagorno-Karabakh and the Other Occupied Territories of Azerbaijan
    http://assembly.coe.int Doc. 13930 11 December 2015 Escalation of violence in Nagorno-Karabakh and the other occupied territories of Azerbaijan Report1 Committee on Political Affairs and Democracy Rapporteur: Mr Robert WALTER, United Kingdom, European Conservatives Group Summary The report condemns the escalation of violence since the summer of 2014 across the line of contact and along the international border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, including the deliberate targeting of civilian settlements. Recalling that both countries committed themselves, upon accession to the Council of Europe, to use only peaceful means for settling their conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, the report warns that a further procrastination only complicates the settlement of this “un-frozen” conflict which has claimed over a hundred human lives since the beginning of 2014. The report calls on Armenia and Azerbaijan to make use of the OSCE Minsk Process and actively submit to each other, via the Minsk Group, constructive proposals for the peaceful settlement of the conflict in accordance with international law. Noting the lack of progress over the last twenty years, it also calls upon the Minsk Group to consider reviewing its approach to the resolution of the conflict. Finally, the report calls for a number of steps to be taken, in the framework of the OSCE Minsk Process, and proposes that the Assembly follows progress on a regular basis. 1.
