THE SJXJATION IN THEi QCCUPIRD ARAB ‘IERRITGRIES IETTER DATED 21 RAY 1990 FRCM THE PEIWWmT RRPRESWIATIVE OF BAHRAIN T3 THE UNI‘mD NATIONS ADDRESSED ‘ID TRE PRESIDENT OF TWI SECURITY aXlNC.IL (S/21300) The PRWIDRNT: I should like to inform tbe Counc,il that I have received letters from the representatives of Bahrain, Bangladesh, Egypt, Gabon, India, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, the Syrian Arab Republic, Tunisia, %Wkey, the United grab Emirates and Yugoslavia in which they request &at they be invited to participate in the diwussion of the item on the Council’s agenda. In accordance with the usual practice, I propose, with tie consent of the Council, to invite those representatives to participate in the discussion, without the right to vote, in conformity with the relevant provision5 of the Charter and rule 37 of the Council’s prOVisional rule5 of procedure. There being no objection, it is so decided. At the invitetion of the President, Mr. Al-Raharna (Bahrain), Mr. Har un-ur-Raehid (Bangladesh), Mr. Elaraby (Egypt), Mr. Lekounda-Raumy (Gabon), Ms. Puri (India), Mr. Nasseri (Islamic Republic of Iran), Mr. Al-Ikriti (Iraq), Mr. Netanyahu (Israel), Mr. Salah (Jordan), Mr. Al-Gsaimi (Kuwait), Mr. Ramdan (-banon), Mr. Renhima (Morocco), Mr. Al-Ni’mah (Qatar), Mr. Shihabi (Saudi . ..^L.^. m-^^--L--^- ,I-. ---I--. ,---a- .^^L --.J-\‘-, SX.CWA~,) Mr. naocl~ub.bo~utar* ranuaj, Sii.

JP/ve S/Pv.2923 3 The PRESlDBJTr I should like to inform the Council that I have received a letter dated 22 Hay 1990 from the Permanent observer of Pales tine to the United Nations, which has been issued a8 document S/21306, and which reads as follows: “I have the honour to request that, in accordance with its previou practice, the Security Council invite His ESrcellency President Yasser Arafat, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organisationr to participate in the current debate of the Security Council. * The request is not made pursuant to rule 37 or rule 39 of the provisional rules of procedure of the Security Council, but if it were approved the Council would invite the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organisation to participate, not under rule 37 or rule 39, but with the 8ame right8 of participation as under rule 37. Doe8 any metier of the Security Council wish to speak M this request? Mr. PICXxWlNG (United States of Americajt The United States, as it notlaally does when this question ie considered, uill request a vote on the proposal before the Security Council, and the United jtates will vote against it an two grounds. First, we believe that the Council doe8 not have before it a valid request to speak. Secondly, the United States maintains that the Palestine Liberation Organization (PI4 should be granted permission to speak anly if the request canpliea with rule 39 of the rules of procedure. In our view it i8 unwarranted and unwise for the Cauncil to break with its own practice and rules. A8 member8 of the Council, we should a& ourselves this question; Doe5 a m . aacislon to break with our rules and prweduies Bril&Z* Or diminish the -VUllrLL#--.a.r,* , t ability to play a constructive role in the Middle East peaoe process? My delegation firmly believes it diminiahes the Council's ability to play such a role. JP/ve s/Pv. 2923 4-5 (Mr. Picker ins, United States) Jb all members of the Council are aware, it is a long-established practice that observers do not have the right to speak 5n the Security Council at their cwn tf?quest . Rather, a request must be made ar the observer’s behalf by a Member State. My Government sees no justification for any departure from that practice. It 58 also clear that General Assembly resolutions are not binding an the Security Council. Further, there is nothing in reaolutfons recently adopted by the Assembly that would warrant a change in Security Council practice. General Assembly resolution 43/177, which purported to change the designation of the PXD Mission, did so “without prejudice to the observer status and functions of the Palest !.ne Liberation Organfzatiar within the United Nations system in conformity with relevant UnPted Natfona resolutfons and practice”. That resolutfa does not constitute recognition of any Stite of Palestine. Like many other Merrbers of the United NatLons, the United Statea &es not reoognise such a State. JP/m4 s/Pv. 2923 6 (Mr. Pickering8 United States) The United States has consistently taken the pasiticn that under the provisional rules of procedure of the Security Council the only legal basis ~1 which the Council may grant a hearing ti persons speaking on behalf of non-governmanta entities is rule 39. For four decades the United States has supported a generous interpretation of rule 39, and it would not have objected had this matter been appropriately raised under that rule. We arer havever, opposed to special, ad hoc departures from orderly procedure. The l.bited States tZOnf3qUentlY Opposes granting to the Palestine Liberation Organization the saam rights to participate in the proceedings of the Security Council as if that organization represented a Member State of the United Nations. We believe In listening to all points of view, but not in a manner that requires violating the rules. In particular, the United States &es not agree with the recent practice of the Security Council that appears selectively to try to enhance the prestige of three who wish to speak in the Council through a dee,parture from the rules of procedure. We consider this special practice to be without legal foun&tion at3 to conf3titute an abuse of the rules. FOr all these reasons the United States requests that the term of the proposed invitation bs put to the vote. Of course, the tlhited State8 will vote against the proposal. The RiESlUIDENTt Sf no other nxxber of the Ccuncil wishes to speak at this stage, I ehall take it that the Council is ready to vote an the request by Palestine. xt it3 80 aecised. I therefore nw Put to the vote the request by Palestine. s/w. 292 3 7 A vote vas taken by shw of hands.

The request has been approved. At the invitation of the President, Mr. Arafat (Palestine) took a place at the Council table. The PRESIDENT: I should like to inform the Council that t have received a letter dated 24 My 1990 from the Chairman of the committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, whi& reads as followat “I have the haour to request that I be allowed to participate in the SeCUritY COUnCil’S consideration of the item ‘The situation in the occupied Arab territories’, in accordance with rule 39 of the Council’s prcvisiiYla1 rules of gxocedure, in my capacity as Chaimm of the Committee an the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People.* On prsvious occasions the security Council has extended invitations ta representatives of other uritea Rations bodies in connection with the consideration of matters on it5 agenda.

  • Sign Language Endangerment and Linguistic Diversity Ben Braithwaite

    Sign Language Endangerment and Linguistic Diversity Ben Braithwaite

    RESEARCH REPORT Sign language endangerment and linguistic diversity Ben Braithwaite University of the West Indies at St. Augustine It has become increasingly clear that current threats to global linguistic diversity are not re - stricted to the loss of spoken languages. Signed languages are vulnerable to familiar patterns of language shift and the global spread of a few influential languages. But the ecologies of signed languages are also affected by genetics, social attitudes toward deafness, educational and public health policies, and a widespread modality chauvinism that views spoken languages as inherently superior or more desirable. This research report reviews what is known about sign language vi - tality and endangerment globally, and considers the responses from communities, governments, and linguists. It is striking how little attention has been paid to sign language vitality, endangerment, and re - vitalization, even as research on signed languages has occupied an increasingly prominent posi - tion in linguistic theory. It is time for linguists from a broader range of backgrounds to consider the causes, consequences, and appropriate responses to current threats to sign language diversity. In doing so, we must articulate more clearly the value of this diversity to the field of linguistics and the responsibilities the field has toward preserving it.* Keywords : language endangerment, language vitality, language documentation, signed languages 1. Introduction. Concerns about sign language endangerment are not new. Almost immediately after the invention of film, the US National Association of the Deaf began producing films to capture American Sign Language (ASL), motivated by a fear within the deaf community that their language was endangered (Schuchman 2004).

Individuals and groups that acted behind the scenes and shaped the Israeli cultural and social mosaic between 1948 – 1970s. At the center stage of the course, stand people with distinct class, cultural, ethnic, religion and generational characteristics. Throughout the course these people will serve as the voices of the new Israeli society, and their actions, challenges and struggles will provide an in depth understanding of Israel's social history. Amongst the groups and individuals that will be examined we can mention: immigrants, children and youth, Arab citizens, professionals from various fields that served as mediators between the state and its marginalized groups (educators, community activists and nurses ). Junctions in Israel's civic and constitutional history will be analyzed through the lens of these groups, such as – the struggle on the nature of the immigrants education, the Wadi Salib Riots, the students struggle against corruption, Al-Ard movement and the struggle for Arab rights of association, the first settlement actions in the Golan Heights and Gush-Etzion after 1967, grassroots political activism, in the radical left and right – Mazpen and the Jewish Defense League in Israel , the Israeli Black Panthers, the events and background the Land Day and more.

  • Stifling Surveillance: Palestinians: Its Goal Has Always Been to Drive Them Out

    Stifling Surveillance: Palestinians: Its Goal Has Always Been to Drive Them Out

    Israel has never intended to control the Stifling Surveillance: Palestinians: Its goal has always been to drive them out. However, during Israel’s Surveillance the Mandate era, as part of their effort and Control of the to disorganize the Palestinian society, Zionist organizations established various Palestinians during the surveillance bodies to examine and monitor Military Government Era various aspects of Palestinian society. These related to the demographic, religious, Ahmad H. Sa’di tribal, and hamula (extended family or clan) composition of the Palestinians, their spatial distribution, political behaviors, and military capabilities, as well as their resources, chiefly lands and water sources. These activities were part of an all-inclusive effort to establish a Jewish state against the will of the indigenous Arab population. Yet, when the 1948 war ended, Israel leaders found that, contrary to their expectations, a number of Palestinian communities, primarily in the Galilee, had eluded the ethnic cleansing conducted by Jewish forces. The incomplete character of the expulsion of the Palestinians subsequently became subject of much speculation and distortion.1 However, internal discussions among Israeli leaders indicate that the continued presence of these Palestinians within the state of Israel was unintentional and undesired.2 Although a system of political control which relied on the British Defense (Emergency) Regulations was imposed on the Palestinians and a military government to rule them was established already during the war, in addition to various ad hoc practices of surveillance, driving the Palestinians out continued to be Israel’s main objective.3 Although expulsion remained Israel’s favored goal – and various schemes to effect it were contrived during the 1950s and 1960s4 – as early as 1951 Israeli leaders [ 36 ] Stifling Surveillance began realizing that these Palestinians might stay longer than expected.

    Lund University Center for Language and Literature Department of Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies ARAK01 – Arabic: Bachelor‟s Course – Thesis Supervisor: Maria Persson Portraying the Antagonist The depiction of Zionism and Israel in a Syrian Education Textbook By Johan Rosell 2 Abstract This bachelor thesis is a discourse analysis of a chapter about “the Arab-Zionist conflict” in a Syrian upper secondary school textbook in the subject of National Socialist Education. The purpose of the thesis is to examine if Zionism and Israel are described in an unbiased or biased way to Syrian students. The analysis is performed by examining contexts in which the words “Zionist”, “Israeli”, and “Jewish” are used, and if these contexts and the used terminology contribute to a biased and value- laden meaning. The thesis concludes that the words Zionist, Israeli, and Jewish are used in contexts that are value-laden and biased and that the contexts contribute to a biased narration of the conflict in general, and Zionism and Israel in particular. 3 Table of Contents 1.

    Voicing the Voiceless: Feminism and Contemporary Arab Muslim Women's Autobiographies

    VOICING THE VOICELESS: FEMINISM AND CONTEMPORARY ARAB MUSLIM WOMEN'S AUTOBIOGRAPHIES Taghreed Mahmoud Abu Sarhan A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2011 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Vibha Bhalla Graduate Faculty Representative Radhika Gajjala Erin Labbie iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor Arab Muslim women have been portrayed by the West in general and Western Feminism in particular as oppressed, weak, submissive, and passive. A few critics, Nawar al-Hassan Golley, is an example, clarify that Arab Muslim women are not weak and passive as they are seen by the Western Feminism viewed through the lens of their own culture and historical background. Using Transnational Feminist theory, my study examines four autobiographies: Harem Years By Huda Sha’arawi, A Mountainous Journey a Poet’s Autobiography by Fadwa Tuqan, A Daughter of Isis by Nawal El Saadawi, and Dreams of Trespass, Tales of a Harem Girlhood by Fatima Mernissi. This study promises to add to the extant literature that examine Arab Muslim women’s status by viewing Arab women’s autobiographies as real life stories to introduce examples of Arab Muslim women figures who have effected positive and significant changes for themselves and their societies. Moreover, this study seeks to demonstrate, through the study of select Arab Muslim women’s autobiographies, that Arab Muslim women are educated, have feminist consciousnesses, and national figures with their own clear reading of their own religion and culture, more telling than that of the reading of outsiders.

    The Time Depth and Typology of Rural Sign Languages Connie De Vos, Victoria Nyst Sign Language Studies, Volume 18, Number 4, Summer 2018, pp. 477-487 (Article) Published by Gallaudet University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/sls.2018.0013 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/702981 Access provided by Max Planck Society (18 Dec 2018 08:31 GMT) CONNIE DE VOS AND VICTORIA NYST The Time Depth and Typology of Rural Sign Languages Irit Meir sadly passed away right after the issue was accepted for publication. We wish to honor her for her immense contribution to the field of sign language linguistics, including the study of emerging sign languages, by dedicating this issue to her. This special issue of Sign Language Studies is focused on recent developments in the study of rural sign languages, which have arisen from the spontaneous interactions between deaf and hearing in- dividuals in rural communities with high incidences of deafness. With the exception of a few preliminary studies, such as the one on the now-extinct Martha’s Vineyard community (Groce 1985) and the work on Providence Island Sign Language (e.g. Washabaugh, Woodward, and DeSantis 1978), the linguistic documentation and description of these sign languages did not really take off until the early 2000s (de Vos and Pfau 2015). Importantly, rural sign languages are only one part of the linguistic landscape, which includes the urban sign languages of national deaf communities whether they have emerged recently, as happened in the case of Nicaragua (Senghas and Coppola 2001), or are in fact presumed to have a long-standing history (Zeshan and Palfreyman 2017).
