THE ARMS PROJECT OF HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH The Arms Project of Human Rights Watch was formed in 1992 with a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation for the purposes of monitoring and seeking to prevent arms transfers to governments or organizations that either grossly violate internationally recognized human rights or grossly violate the laws of war. It also seeks to promote freedom of information and expression about arms transfers worldwide. The Arms Project takes a special interest in weapons that are prominent in human rights abuse and the abuse of non-combatants. The director of the Arms Project is Kenneth Anderson and its Washington director is Stephen D. Goose. Barbara Baker and Cesar Bolaños are New York staff associates, and Kathleen Bleakley is the Washington staff associate. Monica Schurtman is counsel. Members of the international advisory committee of the Arms Project are: Morton Abramowitz, Nicole Ball, Frank Blackaby, Frederick C. Cuny, Ahmed H. Esa, Jo Husbands, Frederick J. Knecht, Andrew J. Pierre, Gustavo Gorriti, Di Hua, Edward J. Laurance, Vincent McGee, Aryeh Neier, Janne E. Nolan, David Rieff, Kumar Rupesinghe, John Ryle, Mohamed Sahnoun, Gary Sick and Tom Winship. HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH Human Rights Watch conducts regular, systematic investigations of human rights abuses in some sixty countries around the world. It addresses the human rights practices of governments of all political stripes, of all geopolitical alignments, and of all ethnic and religious persuasions. In internal wars it documents violations by both governments and rebel groups. Human Rights Watch defends freedom of thought and expression, due process of law and equal protection of the law; it documents and denounces murders, disappearances, torture, arbitrary imprisonment, exile, censorship and other abuses of internationally recognized human rights. Human Rights Watch began in 1978 with the founding of Helsinki Watch by a group of publishers, lawyers and other activists and now maintains offices in New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, London, Moscow, Belgrade, Bucharest and Hong Kong. Today, it includes Africa Watch, Americas Watch, Asia Watch, Helsinki Watch, Middle East Watch, and four collaborative projects, the Arms Project, Prison Project, Women's Rights Project, and the Fund for Free Expression. Human Rights Watch is an independent, nongovernmental organization, supported by contributions from private individuals and foundations. It accepts no government funds, directly or indirectly. The executive committee includes Robert L. Bernstein, chair; Adrian W. DeWind, vice chair; Roland Algrant, Lisa Anderson, Peter D. Bell, Alice L.

    CHAPTER 1 AN INTRODUCTION TO MINES AND EXPLOSIVE REMNANTS OF WAR 11 CHAPTER 1 AN INTRODUCTION TO MINES AND EXPLOSIVE REMNANTS OF WAR SUMMARY Landmines were developed before the 20th century began but became a weapon of choice for many armed forces and groups from the 1939–1945 War onwards. Widely used in international and internal armed conflicts alike, especially in the 1980s and 1990s, mines typically continue to be a threat to the civilian population long after hostilities have ceased. Similarly, explosive remnants of war – abandoned stockpiles of munitions and unexploded ordnance (bombs, shells, grenades and other ammunition that have been used but which have failed to detonate as designed) – plague post-conflict societies around the world, undoubtedly in even greater numbers. A particularly significant threat comes from duds from cluster munitions. INTRODUCTION This chapter looks at the development of landmines and their use in armed conflicts, especially in the latter half of the 20th century. It considers the problems caused by the presence of uncleared landmines and explosive remnants of war in communities around the world. WHAT ARE LANDMINES? In their simplest form, landmines (or simply ‘mines’)1 are explosive traps that are victim-activated, whether the intended target is a person or a vehicle. A mine comprises a quantity of explosive material contained within some form of casing (typically in metal, plastic or wood), and a fuzing mechanism to detonate the explosives. Mines are generally classified into two categories: anti-tank (or anti-vehicle)2 and anti-personnel. Technical experts commonly divide anti-personnel mines into four categories: blast, fragmentation, bounding, and directional fragmentation, based on their primary method of causing injury.

(Hons) June 2018 Acknowledgments I would like to begin by thanking my first supervisor, Dr. Kevin Paulson for his support and guidance before and throughout my research. His enthusiasm, optimism and availability have been critical to the completion of this work despite the challenges. To my second supervisor Mr. Nick Riley whose persistent constructive criticism and suggestions always helped to point me in the right direction. My special gratitude goes to my sponsor, the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) of Nigeria for providing me with an exceptional full scholarship, one of the best in the world, without which this research would not have been possible. I’m also grateful to the humanitarian demining research teams at the University of Manchester led by Professors Anthony Peyton and William Lionheart for their support. I thank the Computer Simulation Technology (CST) GmbH technical support for the CST STUDIO SUITE. I will not forget the administrative support of Jo Arnett and Glen Jack in processing my numerous requests, expense claims and other academic requisitions. To my colleagues, my laboratory mate and other PhD students in the Electronic Engineering Department for their moral support and encouragement.

  • THRIP Annual Report 20152016.Pdf
    The International Year of Pulses The International Year of Pulses 2016 aims to heighten public awareness of the nutritional benefits of pulses as part of sustainable food production aimed towards food security and nutrition. The Year will create a unique opportunity to encourage connections throughout the food chain that would better utilize pulse-based proteins, further global production of pulses, better utilize crop rotations and address the challenges in the trade of pulses. PULSES CONTRIBUTE TO FOOD SECURITY Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food which meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. Food insecurity is a major issue for many people and households in poor and developing countries — it is estimated that 795 million people are undernourished. Pulses can help contribute to food security in a number of ways.
