  • Jonathan Wyrtzen COLONIAL STATE-BUILDING and THE
    Int. J. Middle East Stud. 43 (2011), 227–249 doi:10.1017/S0020743811000043 Jonathan Wyrtzen COLONIAL STATE- BUILDING AND THE NEGOTIATION OF ARAB AND BERBER IDENTITY IN PROTECTORATE MOROCCO Abstract Colonial state-building in Protectorate Morocco, particularly the total “pacification” of territory and infrastructural development carried out between 1907 and 1934, dramatically transformed the social and political context in which collective identity was imagined in Moroccan society. Prior scholarship has highlighted the struggle between colonial administrators and urban Arabophone nationalist elites over Arab and Berber ethnic classifications used by French officials to make Moroccan society legible in the wake of conquest. This study turns to the understudied question of how rural, tribal communities responded to state- and nation-building processes, drawing on a unique collection of Tamazight (Berber) poetry gathered in the Atlas Mountains to illuminate the multiple levels on which their sense of group identity was negotiated. While studies of identity in the interwar Arab world have concentrated on how Pan-Islamism, Pan-Arabism, and local nationalisms functioned in the Arab East, this article changes the angle of analysis, beginning instead at the margins of the Arab West to explore interactions between the consolidation of nation-sized political units and multivocal efforts to reframe the religious and ethnic parameters of communal solidarity during the colonial period. The complex relationship between Arab and Berber identity is one

War and security at sea doi:10.1017/S1816383117000182 Africa and international humanitarian law: The more things change, the more they stay the same Gus Waschefort Gus Waschefort is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Essex School of Law and Member of the Human Rights Centre. Prior to joining the University of Essex, he held academic appointments at the University of Pretoria and the University of South Africa. Between 2011 and 2013, Dr Waschefort was appointed Legal Adviser to the UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions. Abstract Africa, both on the inter-State level and the academic level, maintains a very low profile in the global debate on international humanitarian law (IHL). IHL issues do not feature prominently in the armed conflict debate within Africa, and African States and people do not significantly participate in the global IHL debate. This contribution is aimed at both identifying the reasons for this lack of regional engagement with IHL and identifying entry points for such engagement. It also ambitiously calls for ongoing and engaged focus on IHL in Africa, and to this end, a number of issues for future consideration can be extrapolated from the issues discussed. Keywords: law of armed conflict in Africa, historical development of the law of armed conflict in Africa, colonialism and the law of armed conflict, African perspective on the law of armed conflict. © icrc 2017 593 G.

Under the influence of neo-conservative figures, the Bush administration capitalised on the offence to national self-esteem, and embarked upon wars in Afghanistan (2001) and Iraq (2003). These were the basis of a renewed American quest to dominate international affairs, and to prevent any other superpower from emerging in the new century.

There has been little study of Moroccan resistance during World War I, or of German war strategy in North Africa**. There has been no study at all of the extemal component of resistance movements in North Afri-» ca. It is nonetheless clear from a survey of the existing literature that there exist substantial grounds for asserting the importance of such extemal support even before the first stirrings of nationalism in the region. Moroc- co fumishes a particularly clear and interesting example of the extent to which movements of resistance sought extemal allies as a way of compen- sating for their weaknesses. The following ought therefore to interest both students of modern German history (especially those concemed with German war strategy), and those with interests in the subject of resistan­ ce to imperialism. This article is primarily based upon the record of the German war ef- fort which has been preserved in the French military archives in Paris at the »Service Historique de l’Arm^e, Section d’Afrique et d’Outre- Mer«.

  • Waschefort Africa and LOAC Submitted
    This contribution has been submitted to the ICRC Review, and is currently under peer review. As such please do not distribute the document. Africa and the Law of Armed Conflict: The more things change, the more they stay the same Gus Waschefort Gus Waschefort is an Associate Professor of International Law at the University of South Africa ([email protected]). Abstract The law of armed conflict (LOAC) maintains a low profile on the African continent. On the one hand LOAC issues do not feature prominently in the armed conflict debate within Africa; and on the other, African states and people do not significantly participate in the global LOAC debate. These problems can be traced to the historical exclusion of Africa in the development of modern LOAC. There are essentially five groups who determine the agenda of the global debate: academics; governments; armed forces; civil society; and international organizations. Each of these groups provides an entry point to address the problems identified. Keywords Law of Armed Conflicts in Africa; Historical Development of Law of Armed Conflict in Africa; Colonialism and the Law of Armed Conflict; African perspective on the Law of Armed Conflict Introduction The First World War (WWI) was particularly significant in the context of the law of armed conflict or international humanitarian law (LOAC/IHL) in Africa. It marked the first occasion upon which African states engaged in armed conflict legally bound (in a material sense) by conventional international LOAC. 1 African theatres of WWI were much more expansive territorially when compared to African theatres of World War II (WWII).
