In pursuing these goals, the CIJL: - intervenes with governments in particular cases of harassment or persecution and, in some in­ stances, solicits the aid of a network of jurists and lawyers' organisations throughout the world to do likewise; - works with the United Nations in setting standards for the independence of judges and lawyers and the impartial administration of justice. The CIJL was instrumental in the formulation of the UN Basic Principles on the Independence of the Judiciary adopted at the Seventh Congress on the Prevention of Crime and Treatment of Offenders in 1985 and endorsed by the UN General Assembly. It is now working with the UN on similar principles on the role of lawyers; - organises conferences and seminars on the independence of the judiciary and the legal profession. Regional seminars have been held in Central America, South America, South Asia, South-East Asia, East Africa, West Africa and the Caribbean. Several national seminars have also been organised.

Con essi ci si propone di integrare la documentazione prodotta dal Servizio Studi e dal Servizio Affari internazionali, fornendo ai Senatori membri delle Commissioni Affari esteri e Difesa ed ai componenti le Delegazioni parlamentari italiane presso le Assemblee degli Organismi internazionali una visione periodicamente aggiornata dei principali eventi e del dibattito in relazione a due temi di grande attualità e delicatezza: rispettivamente i rapporti fra Europa e Stati Uniti e la situazione nei paesi del Mediterraneo e del Medio Oriente allargato. L'Osservatorio Mediterraneo e Medio Oriente, oggetto del presente dossier, ha periodicità trimestrale ed è curato dal Centro Studi Internazionali (CeSI) per il Senato. Esso si articola in una introduzione, che fornisce il "quadro d'assieme" dei principali eventi verificatisi nel corso del trimestre nell'intera area, cui fanno seguito note sintetiche relative ad ogni singolo paese, in cui compaiono, accanto agli avvenimenti di importanza internazionale, anche numerosi accadimenti di minor rilievo, capaci di incidere sui processi politici in atto.

KENNEDY CENTER FOR JUSTICE AND HUMAN RIGHTS 2 NOWHERE TO TURN: THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE FAILURE TO MONITOR HUMAN RIGHT VIOLATIONS IN WESTERN SAHARA AND TINDOUF REFUGEE CAMPS I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Sahrawi are the indigenous people of Western Sahara, who descended from Berber and Arab tribes.1 The following is a report on the human rights situation facing the Sahrawi people who reside in the disputed territory of Western Sahara under Moroccan control and in the Sahrawi refugee camps near Tindouf, Algeria. Much of the information contained in this report is based on information gained from interviews and meetings during a visit to the region of an international delegation led by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights (RFK Center). For nearly 40 years, both the Kingdom of Morocco and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Saguía el Hamra and Río de Oro (POLISARIO Front) have claimed sovereignty over Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony. After years of armed conflict, in 1991 the United Nations (UN) established the Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO), a peacekeeping mission to oversee the cease-fire between the Kingdom of Morocco and the POLISARIO Front and to organize and ensure a referendum on self-determination. Today, 22 years after the establishment of MINURSO, the referendum has yet to take place.

In this context, after gaining the state independence, the Republic of Tajikistan placed a particular emphasis on the issues of restoring and strengthening friendly and partnership relations with Muslim countries and took necessary measures in further developing these ties both on bilateral and multilateral levels. The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) as an effective mechanism of multilateral relations among Muslim countries is becoming increasingly important in the process of ensuring well-being and development of its member states, as well as bringing peace and stability in the Islamic world. Today, OIC as a collective voice of the Islamic world is urged to provide Muslim solidarity in social, economic and political spheres. The Organization is the guarantor of protection of interests of the Islamic world in the spirit of promoting international peace and harmony among nations around the globe.
