The roadmap, dubbed Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV2030), entails heavy investment in various sectors and infrastructure. Major projects were announced of which some have already been completed, with yet more in the pipeline. Workers from around the world who contribute to the realisation of these projects send an estimated $12bn annually to their home countries. Qatar is fully aware that without its expat manpower almost nothing is achievable, and that is why the state has been steadily investing in human development for a long time now. In fact, one of the main four pillars of QNV2030 is investment in human development.

I draw on Norbert Elias, Emile Durkheim, Marcel Mauss, among other social theorists and historians, to counter dominant views of fear in the social sciences as a sole destroyer of the social fabric with evidence of how and why fear both tears and tightens the social fabric, both destroys and fosters solidarity. Yet with the exception of a few spaces of hope where families of victims of forced disappearances organized to demand justice from the state, this “tightening” of the social fabric did not transcend but rather exacerbated socio-spatial divides.

Jaime Rodríguez Calderón, also known as El Bronco, who was elected as an independent candidate in June 2015 (SourceMex, June 24, 2015) and who took office in October of that year. The riot––reportedly a battle for control of the prison between two factions of the criminal organization the Zetas—left 49 casualties. Prison sources said most of the victims were stabbed to death with homemade weapons or beaten to death with sticks. By all accounts, Rodríguez Calderón did not handle the situation well, taking too long to react to the emergency and then placing the blame on missteps that occurred during the administration of his predecessor, former Gov.

  • The Mara Salvatrucha and Regional Insecurity
    The Mara Salvatrucha and Regional Insecurity How MS-13 perpetuates a cycle of Migration and Violence between the United States and Central America Joseph Sanchez National Security Studies Institute University of Texas at El Paso December 6th, 2015 The Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) is a transnational gang that has spread from the United States to El Salvador and other Central American countries. The gang is unique, as it possesses characteristics of both a street and a transnational criminal organization. Due to its brutality and expansion, MS-13 has created an environment of public insecurity within Central America. This in turn has spurred several initiatives with the United States and its partners in an attempt to control a cycle of violence and migration between the countries. Introduction Within the last decade, the United States has seen a recent influx of immigrants from Central America due to an increase of violence in El Salvador and neighboring Central American countries. Consequently, immigration has once again become a much discussed political issue in the 2016 elections and remains at the forefront of political agendas.1 The latest wave of migration has been attributed to the Mara Salvatrucha, one of the largest street gangs in the United States and Central America. Due to the extreme brutality, the Mara Salvatrucha numbers have grown considerably, making it a transnational and regional threat. 2 However, this is not the first time Central American immigrants have fled their country due to violence. This has happened before, during the 1980’s with a violent and bloody civil war in El Salvador.

    EXPERT REPORT OF DR. EVERARD MEADE July 12, 2016 1. Counsel for has asked me to offer expert testimony to assist the Court in evaluating his claim for asylum. I respectfully submit this report, and any corresponding testimony at the hearing, in order to: (1) provide background regarding the events in question and the areas of Mexico in which they occurred; (2) explain the country conditions in Mexico, both in the present and in the period extending back to 2006; (3) offer my opinion on the consistency of the declaration of Mr. with the conditions in Mexico at the relevant times and in the relevant places; and (4) discuss the likelihood that Mr. would be harmed if returned to Mexico. 2. As the Director of the Trans-Border Institute at the University of San Diego, I monitor the conditions in Mexico on a continual basis. As a historian of Mexico and Central America focused on the relationships between violence, memory, and the law, I have tracked patterns of violence and their relationship to the criminal justice system since at least 1998. See attached (curriculum vitae). I have testified before Immigration Courts across the country in conjunction with removal proceedings and asylum applications. 3. Before preparing this report, I reviewed and consulted a number of academic, journalistic, and government sources (from Mexico and the United States), many of which are cited herein. As discussed herein, I conducted certain independent research using resources that I customarily consult when researching country conditions in Mexico and the impact of the latest developments in drug trafficking, organized crime, and law enforcement operations on basic human rights conditions, in particular.

Hlass: The School to Deportation Pipeline THE SCHOOL TO DEPORTATION PIPELINE Laila Hlass ABSTRACT The United States immigration regime has a long and sordid history of explicit racism, including limiting citizenship to free whites, excluding Chinese immigrants, deporting massive numbers of Mexican immigrants and U.S. citizens of Mexican ancestry, and implementing a national quotas system preferencing Western Europeans. More subtle bias has seeped into the system through the convergence of the criminal and immigration law regimes. Immigration enforcement has seen a rise in mass immigrant detention and deportation, bolstered by provocative language casting immigrants as undeserving undesirables: criminals, gang members, and terrorists.

    Author Institution Abstract's title ABSTRACT The idea of animal rights has gained momentum over the past decades. It typically entails the notion of fundamental rights that is universal moral rights that (some) animals have simply in virtue of being animals. The emergence of such human rights-like animal rights is not only reflected in a rise of academic theorizing but also observable in legal practice. In both realms there is an upcoming trend to frame animal’s rights in the language of human rights and to discuss the former as a normative derivation of the latter as 4th generation human rights. This development comes at a time when human rights are still precarious notwithstanding their status as moral legal and political lingua franca. The idea of extending human rights to [4] Saskia Stucki, animals may be seen as adding to the fragile status of human rights as it Juan Perez, challenges one of the few assumption human rights theorists generally Max Planck Institute for Human Rights and Animal Rights: agree upon: that human rights are human.

Branda Nava Intuitions that animal rights are bad for human rights seem to presume an antagonistic dynamism between these two species of rights. But what if to the contrary human and animal rights converged and were mutually reinforcing rather than inhibiting and asserting animal’s rights would be beneficial to humans rights? This paper sets out to explore such parallelisms overlaps and interrelations between human and animal rights.
