Over this time, the international community has strengthened its resolve to promote the rights and address the needs of victims through programs and services that are accessible and adequate in quantity, quality, availability, and consistent with the high standards set by human rights as well as other international humanitarian law. Starting as a landmark, though brief, reference in the Mine Ban Treaty, victim assistance has developed into a detailed set of legal obligations and commitments for States Parties to the Convention on Cluster Munitions, the Mine Ban Treaty and the Convention on Conventional Weapons (CCW) Protocol V. With review conferences for both the Mine Ban Treaty and the Convention on Cluster Munitions fast approaching, the time has come to take stock of victim assistance achievements to date in order to determine how best to close remaining gaps and ensure the fulfillment of victim assistance

  • Spirit of Africa
    FULL SCORE Spirit of Africa For Soprano Soloist, SATB Choir and Chamber Orchestra Photo: David Fanshawe, East Africa Music: Liz Lane Words: Jennifer Henderson Spirit of Africa Programme note Spirit of Africa is written as a companion piece to David Fanshawe’s African Sanctus and is inspired by the colours and symbolic meanings of the flags of Egypt, Sudan, Uganda and Kenya, the countries visited by David during his travels recording music for African Sanctus in 1969-1973. The words and music of the five movements trace a journey through the day, with the colour white for daybreak mist, green for morning freshness, red for midday heat, gold for sunset and black for night; each with its own mood and character, hopes and fears. Spirit of Africa is dedicated to David and his wife Jane. Liz Lane and Jennifer Henderson, May 2012 www.lizlane.co.uk 1. Promise of daybreak veiled in the early mist, hidden in shadows that cling to the night; Earth turning slowly toward a new journey into the morning, unknown, beyond sight. Birdsong dispelling the silence of waiting, lifting the darkness with wings taking flight; spray from the waterfall showering diamonds, carving the rock face with ribbons of white. Sweet is the air in the breath of the morning, spirit of purity, radiant light! 2. Dance, my friends, dance with the Earth, dance with the spring time of the year’s rebirth; dance with the sunshine, dance with the breeze, dance with the butterflies, dance with the bees. Sing, my friends, sing with the hills, sing with the river the rain cloud fills; sing with the green grass, sing with the trees, sing with the birds and the fish in the seas.

  • Keralda/India) Ecology and Landscape in an Isolated Indian National Park Photos: Ian Lockwood
    IAN LOCKWOOD Eravikolam and the High Range (Keralda/India) Ecology and Landscape in an Isolated Indian National Park Photos: Ian Lockwood The southern Indian state of Kerala has long been recognized for its remarkable human development indicators. It has the country’s highest literary rates, lowest infant mortality rates and highest life expectancy. With 819 people per km2 Kerala is also one of the densest populated states in India. It is thus surprising to find one of the India’s loneliest and least disturbed natural landscapes in the mountainous region of Kerala known as the High Range. Here a small 97 km2 National Park called Eraviku- lam gives a timeless sense of the Western Ghats before the widespread encroachment of plantation agriculture, hydro- electric schemes, mining and human settlements. he High Range is a part of the Western Ghats, a heterogeneous chain of mountains and hills that separate the moist Malabar and Konkan Coasts from the semi-arid interiors of the TDekhan plateau. They play a key role in direct- ing the South Western monsoon and providing water to the plateau and the coastal plains. Starting at the southern tip of India at Kanyakumari (Cape Comorin), the mountains rise abruptly from the sea and plains. The Western Ghats continue in a nearly unbroken 1,600 km mountainous spine and end at the Tapi River on the border between Maharashtra and Gujarat. Bio- logically rich, the Western Ghats are blessed with high rates of endemism. In recent years as a global alarm has sounded on declining biodiversity, the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka have been designated as one of 25 “Global Biodiversity Hotspots” by Conservation Inter- national.

  • AFRICAN SANCTUS Für Sopran, Chor, Instrumentalensemble Und Tonband Yvonne Friedli • Ölberg-Chor • Ingo Schulz Livemitschnitt Vom 19
    David Fanshawe (*1942) AFRICAN SANCTUS für Sopran, Chor, Instrumentalensemble und Tonband Yvonne Friedli • Ölberg-Chor • Ingo Schulz www.emmaus.de Livemitschnitt vom 19. u. 20.5.2006, Emmaus-Kirche, Berlin-Kreuzberg „One World, one Music“ David Fanshawe (*1942): African Sanctus für Sopran, Chor, Instrumentalensemble und Tonband David Fanshawe ist Komponist, Forscher, Musikethnologe, Fotograf und Autor. Er hat zahlreiche internationale Auszeichnungen erhalten. Begonnen hat seine Karriere mit der Filmmontage, später dann wandte er sich am Royal College of Music mit John Lambert dem Studium der Komposition zu. 1970 fand er internationale Anerkennung mit Salaams, einem Werk, das auf Rhythmen der Perlenfischer von Bahrain aufbaut. Andere Konzertstücke: Fantasy on Dover Castle, Requiem for the Children of Aberfan, The Awakening, Dona Nobis Pacem. Neben Gesangsstücken hat er auch die Filmmusik für über 30 Filme und TV-Produktionen komponiert. Eine geglückte Mischung aus Musik und Reisen prägt seine sehr eigenen Werke. Seiner 10 Jahre dauernden Odyssee durch die Inseln des Pazifischen Ozeans verdanken wir unzählige Filme, Dias und handgeschriebene Hefte, die uns die Musik und mündlich überlieferten Traditionen Polynesiens, Mikronesiens und Melanesiens vermitteln. Heute lebt er in Wiltshire / Großbritannien................................ African Sanctus ist eine unorthodoxe Fassung der lateinischen Messe, in Einklang gebracht mit traditioneller afrikanischer Musik, die der Komponist auf seinen Nilreisen (1969-1973) aufgenommen hat. David Fanshawe reiste 1960 das erste Mal nach Afrika. Ihn bewegte die Idee, ein großes Werk zu komponieren, das seine Liebe zum Reisen, zum Abenteuer und zur Tonbanddokumentation vereinen sollte..................... In Kairo, auf dem Hügel der Zitadelle stehend und über den Nil blickend, hatte er zum ersten Mal die Vorstellung einer ungewöhnlichen Kombination von westlicher Chormusik mit dem Gebetsruf des islamischen Muezzin.

  • The Four Iron Steamships of William Alexander Lewis Stephen Douglas – Hamilton
    The Four Iron Steamships of William Alexander Lewis Stephen Douglas – Hamilton. KT 12th Duke of Hamilton, 9th Duke of Brandon, 2nd Duke of Châtellerault Second Edition. 1863 Easton Park, Suffolk, England (Demolished 1925) Hamilton Palace, Scotland (Demolished 1927) Brian Boon & Michel Waller Introduction The families residing in the village of Easton, Suffolk experienced many changing influences over their lives during the 92 year tenure of four generations of the Hamilton family over the 4,883 acre Easton Park Estate. The Dukes of Hamilton were the Premier Dukedom of Scotland, owning many mansions and estates in Scotland together with other mining interests. These generated considerable income. Hamilton Palace alone, in Scotland, had more rooms than Buckingham Palace. Their fortunes varied from the extremely wealthy 10th Duke Alexander, H.M. Ambassador to the Court of the Czar of Russia, through to the financial difficulties of the 12th Duke who was renowned for his idleness, gambling and luxurious lifestyle. Add to this the agricultural depression commencing in 1870. On his death in 1895, he left debts of £1 million even though he had previously sold the fabulous art and silver collections of his grandparents. His daughter, Mary, then aged 10 inherited Easton and the Arran estates and remained in Easton, with the Dowager Duchess until 1913 when she married Lord Graham. The estates were subsequently sold and the family returned to Arran. This is an account of the lives of the two passenger paddle steamers and two large luxury yachts that the 12th Duke had built by Blackwood & Gordon of Port Glasgow and how their purchase and sales fitted in with his varying fortunes and lifestyle.
