  • NGO Report Submitted to the United Nations Committee for The
    NGO Report Submitted to the United Nations Committee for the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) In response to the second periodic report of the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic Geneva, Switzerland, July 2014 I. Introduction The violent armed conflict has entered its fourth year and is spreading to most Syrian regions, now divided into the so-called “regime-controlled territory” and “territory out of the regime control”. The Syrian people, including all classes and social formations, is paying a heavy price for the ongoing armed violence in various areas. Reports by UN agencies, local and international human rights organizations and experiences of countries with similar contexts shows that women bear the heaviest burden of such conflicts. Gender-based violence and discrimination had existed in Syria before the armed conflict and were emphasized by a number of laws and practices in public or private spheres. Patriarchal values and norms still govern the Syrian women’s lives and rights as sacred religious and social values. With the lack of international action toward what is happening in Syria, we would like to draw attention that, with the continuing armed conflict for more than three years, women have become vulnerable to all forms of violent practices and various human rights violations by different parties to the conflict, though with varied levels and forms between one party and another. Women suffer from killing, forced disappearances, detention, rape, kidnapping, internal and external displacement. They have to secure livelihood for their families in displacement areas and refuge countries. Child marriage and women trafficking have significantly increased particularily in the refuge host countries.

    The US National Counterterrorism Center is pleased to present the 2016 edition of the Counterterrorism (CT) Calendar. Since 2003, we have published the calendar in a daily planner format that provides our consumers with a variety of information related to international terrorism, including wanted terrorists; terrorist group fact sheets; technical issue related to terrorist tactics, techniques, and procedures; and potential dates of importance that terrorists might consider when planning attacks. The cover of this year’s CT Calendar highlights terrorists’ growing use of social media and other emerging online technologies to recruit, radicalize, and encourage adherents to carry out attacks. This year will be the last hardcopy publication of the calendar, as growing production costs necessitate our transition to more cost- effective dissemination methods. In the coming years, NCTC will use a variety of online and other media platforms to continue to share the valuable information found in the CT Calendar with a broad customer set, including our Federal, State, Local, and Tribal law enforcement partners; agencies across the Intelligence Community; private sector partners; and the US public. On behalf of NCTC, I want to thank all the consumers of the CT Calendar during the past 12 years. We hope you continue to find the CT Calendar beneficial to your daily efforts. Sincerely, Nicholas J. Rasmussen Director The US National Counterterrorism Center is pleased to present the 2016 edition of the Counterterrorism (CT) Calendar. This edition, like others since the Calendar was first published in daily planner format in 2003, contains many features across the full range of issues pertaining to international terrorism: terrorist groups, wanted terrorists, and technical pages on various threat-related topics.

  • Syria 2017 Human Rights Report
    SYRIA 2017 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY President Bashar Assad has ruled the Syrian Arab Republic since 2000. The constitution mandates the primacy of Baath Party leaders in state institutions and society, and Assad and Baath party leaders dominate all three branches of government. An uprising against the government that began in 2011 continued throughout the year. The 2014 presidential election and the April 2016 parliamentary elections resulted in the election of Assad and 200 People’s Council (Syrian parliament) seats for the Baath Party-led National Progressive Front, respectively. Both elections took place in an environment of widespread government coercion, and many Syrians residing in opposition-held territory did not participate in the elections. Observers did not consider the elections free or fair. The government maintained control over its uniformed military, police, and state security forces, but it did not maintain effective control over foreign and domestic military or paramilitary organizations. These included Russian armed forces; Hizballah and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps; nonuniformed progovernment militias, such as the National Defense Forces; and the Bustan Charitable Association, or “shabiha.” The most significant human rights abuses included unlawful and arbitrary killings by the government and its allies resulting from atrocities they committed during the conflict, including the repeated use of chemical weapons, including sarin and chlorine, against civilians, widespread “barrel bombing” of civilians

  • Hybridity and Problematic of Identity in Gulf States
    European Journal of English Language and Literature Studies Vol.3, No.4, pp.71-91, July 2015 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) HYBRIDITY AND PROBLEMATIC OF IDENTITY IN GULF STATES NARRATIVE Rashad Mohammed Moqbel Al Areqi Al Baha University, Faculty of Sciences and arts, Al Mandaq Head of English Department Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ABSTRACT: Many transformations occur in the daily lives of the peoples of the Arab Gulf. Undoubtedly, such changes have left very deep influence in the varied areas of lives. Writing Gulf Sates literature in general and narrative in particular is reshaped by the daily events and concerns. The daily social and political, cultural and race/sectarian prejudice issues become the core of the Gulf writers' concerns. In the Gulf communities, migrants come from around the world with their different cultures, languages, religions, but social conventions on the hope of finding their living. The immigrants become a part of the Gulf community and affect the culture and social conventions of the Gulf Communities, regardless of the Gulf people who travel abroad for study or tourism or searching for a better life and come back with new identity and new style of life. How do the writers express problematic of identity and the hybridity in such globalized world and cosmopolitan atmosphere? The article addresses transformations in the Gulf States identity and the rapid changes in social and political arena as portrayed by the Gulf writers in the area of narrative. The article focuses on two narratives by two Kuwaiti writers: Saud Al Sanousi's winning novel of International Prize of Arabic Fiction (IPAF), and the Kuwait State Award: The Bamboo Stalk, 2012, and Sada Al Da'as's Being Black, the winning novel of Kuwait State Award of Appreciation and Encouragement, 2010.

  • Jihadist Groups on the Turkish - Syrian Front
    I N T E R N A T I O NA L CO N F E R E N C E RCIC’18 Redefining Community in Intercultural Context Bucharest, 17-19 May 2018 JIHADIST GROUPS ON THE TURKISH - SYRIAN FRONT Ammar EL BENNI, Cristian TRONCOTĂ ‘Mihai Viteazul’ National Intelligence Academy, Bucharest, Romania Abstract: The instability in Syria that started in 2011 when the anti-regime uprisings turned into a civil war has initially spread into the region, and then has become a global problem due to the Salafist militant extremists. The terrorist organization known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria declared a global jihad and urged “true” Muslims all over the world for an exodus towards the newly founded Islamic state. Turkey, as a neighbour to the conflict zone, has been facing an increasing risk and threats to its security at many levels. The reason for the risk is essentially caused not only by the geographical proximity to the conflict zone but also by its border neighbours, which include such non-state actors as DAESH, the Kurdish Democratic. Turkey is preparing to launch the main effort of its Operation Olive Branch assault against the Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) in the Afrin area in northern Syria. Turkish forces and Turkish-backed Syrian opposition groups have set military conditions for a Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) ground operation in the coming days. In this paper we will present the Jihadist groups that act for Turkey's interests as well as for Syria's interests. Knowing these groups will help us understand that terrorism is financed from the outside to create destabilization of the area.
