  • Soldiers and Societies in Revolt
    Soldiers and Societies in Revolt Military Doctrine in the Arab Spring Nicholas J. Lotito Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Nicholas J. Lotito All rights reserved ABSTRACT Soldiers and Societies in Revolt: Military Doctrine in the Arab Spring Nicholas J. Lotito This dissertation explores civil-military relations in democratizing contexts, specifically how the historical relationship between the military and the broader public shapes re- sponses to political crises such as riots and revolutions. I develop a novel theory, rooted in civil-military relations literature from political science and sociology, for how an army’s historical interactions with the population and with foreign sponsors create doctrine by shaping organizational culture and practices toward the population. Doctrine, in turn, influences the military’s response to a popular uprising. The foundations of military doctrine are historical and include the military’s institutional origins, role in national inde- pendence, and relationship to the ruling party. Subsequently, doctrinal innovation occurs as a result of interacting with the domestic population and foreign military sponsors. The dissertation features qualitative case studies of Tunisia, Egypt, and Syria during the Arab Spring and a quantitative data analysis of major uprisings worldwide since 1950. Both qualitative and quantitative evidence demonstrate that the nature of military doctrine explains soldiers’ behavior during popular uprisings better than alternative arguments based on capacity, patronage, and ethnicity.

  • Country Policy and Information Note Egypt: Opposition to State
    Country Policy and Information Note Egypt: Opposition to state Version 1.0 July 2020 Preface Purpose This note provides country of origin information (COI) and analysis of COI for use by Home Office decision makers handling particular types of protection and human rights claims (as set out in the Introduction section). It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis and assessment of COI and other evidence; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Assessment This section analyses the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment of, in general, whether one or more of the following applies: • A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm • The general humanitarian situation is so severe as to breach Article 15(b) of European Council Directive 2004/83/EC (the Qualification Directive)/Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights as transposed in paragraphs 339C and 339CA(iii) of the Immigration Rules • The security situation presents a real risk to a civilian’s life or person such that it would breach Article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive as transposed in paragraphs 339C and 339CA(iv) of the Immigration Rules • A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) • A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory • A claim is likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and • If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.

  • NGO Response to the Government of Egypt's Report to the UN the Committee Against Torture
    EGYPTE The Human Rights Centre for the Assistance of Prisoners (HRCAP) NGO Response to the Government of Egypt's Report to the UN the Committee against Torture. November2002 Presented with the support of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) Preface: The Egyptian Government submitted its fourth periodical report to the UN Committee Against Torture on 19/11/2001 in fulfillment of its international obligations in accordance with Article 19 of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, ratified by the Egyptian government, published in issue number 11 of the Official Gazette on 11/11/1982. According to the aforementioned Article " The States Parties shall submit to the Committee, through the Secretary-General of the United Nations, reports on the measures they have taken to give effect to their undertakings under this Convention." HRCAP believes it its duty to submit comprehensive comments on the Egyptian government's report with relation to the government's commitments, for the following reasons: 1-The Egyptian government did not disclose the report to the Egyptian public or human right organizations. They - the human rights organizations- were not allowed to participate in the preparation and evaluation of the report. This action on part of the Egyptian government represents a standard policy reflecting a general absence of transparency. The government’s actions are characterized by startling double-standards as it presents itself to the world as a state that respects human rights, while viewing with animosity and suspicion the institutions and individuals working in this field, considering them to be political opponents that challenge its authority.

Designed to be completed in 3 weeks, the four exercises enable students to (1) identify the major sources of political risk; (2) determine what social, economic, political, and geographical background factors need to be considered in conducting a political risk analysis; (3) forecast the likelihood of a change in regift, occurrence of political turmoil, or restrictions on international business; and (4) calculate risk ratings that can be used to compare the relative risks in different countries. The methods presented are those develope6 by the authors for Frost and Sullivan's "World Political Risk Forecast," which uses country studies produced by experts. An annotated bibliography and sample country study on Egypt (1983) from Frost and Sullivan's service are included in the appendices, which comprise over half the document.

In principle we are not against implementing UN resolutions. We are not against working with the international body for the purpose of disarmament.
