Thomas Carrigan UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL Thomas Carrigan YMCA 2019 Southeastern High School Model United Nations YMCA Southeastern High School Model UN Dear Delegates, On behalf of the conference staff, it is our honor to welcome you to SHSMUN 2019! There is no place other than Chattanooga, Tennessee that we would rather be this November 23-25, and we cannot wait for you to join us there. This year, we have again worked tirelessly to improve your SHSMUN experience by making our committee and conference procedures better than ever before thanks to the hard work of our staff. To date, we have prepared 36 topics for you to debate, changed General Assembly structure to be more involved and include more delegates, and increased the role of DPC to bring you a more authentic and updated conference experience. Of course, the surest way to have an unforgettable SHSMUN experience is through work on the part of you, the delegate. Our longest SHSMUN tradition has been taking pride in our staff and our delegates’ commitment to research, hard work, and introspective and focused debate while at the conference. As such, we hope that the topic guides that we have prepared will introduce you to many intriguing and relevant international problems facing the world today, and inspire you to delve into your research into your country's position with the enthusiasm we have been so privileged to witness at past conferences. Remember, the research and writing process of position papers and resolutions is not only rewarding but will have innumerable benefits at SHSMUN 2019. Coming into committee with knowledge about your country and ideas for how your country will address the issues at hand will allow your debate and diplomacy skills to shine each and every committee session. Coming in with an educated perspective will not only allow you to be a better and more informed delegate, but to realize that the positions of other countries can work in conjunction with your own. In any committee, delegates will have to agree to disagree and instead work to compromise for the betterment of the international community. To be able to do this and do it well is a vital skill for the increasingly interconnected world we live in today, and what better place to practice it than right here at SHSMUN 2019! With all this in mind, please do not hesitate to contact your chair or any other conference staff members with your questions relating to topics, committee, or the conference in general. We wish you the best of luck in your work, and we cannot wait to see all of your efforts pay off at the Conference this November! Best of luck, Caroline Cornett Caden Farley Ethan Fell 1 Secretary General Director General General Committee President [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] P.S.

  • Towards a Theological Synthesis of Christian and Shona Views of Death and the Dead: Implications for Pastoral Care in the Anglican Diocese of Harare, Zimbabwe
    TOWARDS A THEOLOGICAL SYNTHESIS OF CHRISTIAN AND SHONA VIEWS OF DEATH AND THE DEAD: IMPLICATIONS FOR PASTORAL CARE IN THE ANGLICAN DIOCESE OF HARARE, ZIMBABWE. by WILSON T. SITSHEBO A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts of the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology Faculty of Arts The University of Birmingham August 2000 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT In this contextual study I investigate why and how the traditional approach to mission, engaged by Anglican missionaries, gave rise to a dual observance of ritual among Shona Anglican Christians. I begin by establishing the significance and essence of Shona views of death and the dead, then investigate the missionaries' historical background. I highlight that Christian arrogance, in the guise of racial superiority, underlies the confrontational and condemnatory approach. Traditional views were considered evil, in their place, Shona converts were forced to adopt western Christian views as the only acceptable and valid way of coping with this eschatological reality. These views did not usually fit the Shona worldviews and religious outlook, hence the adoption of dual observance.

Learn more about CrisisWatch July 2021 Global Overview JULY 2021 Trends for Last Month July 2021 Outlook for This Month DETERIORATED SITUATIONS August 2021 Ethiopia, South Africa, Zambia, CONFLICT RISK ALERTS Afghanistan, Bosnia And Herzegovina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine, Ethiopia, Zambia, Armenia, Azerbaijan Cuba, Haiti, Syria, Tunisia RESOLUTION OPPORTUNITIES IMPROVED SITUATIONS None Central African Republic, Côte d’Ivoire CrisisWatch warns of three conict risks in August. Ethiopia’s spreading Tigray war is spiraling into a dangerous new phase, which will likely lead to more deadly violence and far greater instability countrywide. Fighting along the state border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the deadliest since the Autumn 2020 war, could escalate further. More violence could surge in Zambia as tensions between ruling party and opposition supporters are running high ahead of the 12 August general elections. Our monthly conict tracker highlights deteriorations in thirteen countries in July. The Taliban continued its major offensive in Afghanistan, seizing more international border crossings and launching its rst assault on Kandahar city since 2001. South Africa faced its most violent unrest since apartheid ended in 1991, leaving over 300 dead. The killing of President Jovenel Moïse in murky circumstances plunged Haiti into political turmoil. Tunisia’s months-long political crisis escalated when President Kaïs Saïed dismissed Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi and suspended parliament.

  • Digital Rights in Zimbabwe
    Digital Rights in Zimbabwe, UPR Submission, Session 40 Submitted by: Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) Zimbabwe Chapter, Small Media, Collaboration on International ICT Policy for East and Southern Africa (CIPESA) Supported by: Access Now, Paradigm Initiative, Zimbabwe Human Rights Association, Association for Progressive Communication (APC), Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, Zimbabwe Centre for Media and Information Literacy (ZCMIL), Media Alliance of Zimbabwe. Introduction 1. Digital rights and freedoms should be accorded the same protection as offline rights and freedoms.1 Protection of freedom of expression, access to information, data protection and privacy have been guaranteed in international and regional instruments to which Zimbabwe is a party. Consequently, they must be considered in the recommendations made to Zimbabwe during the third cycle of the UPR. 2. During the second cycle of the UPR, Zimbabwe received 260 recommendations from 86 countries. Out of these recommendations, 16 referred to the right to freedom of expression, three were focused on the right of access to information and two referenced the right to privacy.2 3. According to the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (POTRAZ), Internet penetration in Zimbabwe was 61.1% as at the end of the first quarter of 2021.3 This shows that as the online community in Zimbabwe grows, so does the obligation to protect and to fulfil human rights online. This is in line with Zimbabwe’s obligations under applicable provisions of the Constitution of Zimbabwe4 and Articles 17 and 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)5 on the rights to privacy and freedom of opinion and expression respectively.

  • Five Dimensions of Internet Shutdowns in Africa
    Five Dimensions of Internet Shutdowns in Africa February 2019 CIPESA #InternetFreedomAfrica In regards to internet freedom, Africa got off to an awful start in 2019. Internet disruptions were registered in five countries (Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Sudan and Zimbabwe) within the first three weeks of the year. The disruptions were related to elections, protests against government policies, and, what seemed like a coup attempt. With several nations set to conduct elections during the course of 2019, many more shutdowns could be witnessed. An Internet disruption, often referred to as an internet shutdown, is the intentional blockage of access to the internet or sections of the internet such as social media platforms. Internet disruptions are mostly ordered by governments eager to disrupt communications and curtail citizens’ access to information in order to limit what the citizens can see, do, or communicate. In the following, we present observations on the shutdowns experienced to-date and to pointers that the year could top the number of state-initiated internet disruptions in Africa. We sketch a link between the level of authoritarianism in a country and how long a president has been in power, and the likelihood of experiencing a network shutdown. Further, we look at the economic and social impacts of these disruptions. 2 Recap: Gabon experienced a total, government-ordered internet shutdown after a handful The Internet Disruptions of soldiers stormed the national radio station and, in a live broadcast, urged citizens to overthrow a sickly president who has been out of the country recuperating from Experienced in January an October 2018 stroke.

GWEMENDE has been approved for the Center for International Studies by Rafael Obregon Associate Professor of Media Arts and Studies Rafael Obregon Director, Communication and Development Studies Daniel Weiner Executive Director, Center for International Studies 3 ABSTRACT GWEMENDE, TITUS M., M.A., August 2010, Communication and Development Studies Caught between Scylla and Charybdis: Exploring the Effects of Zimbabwe's Political Crisis on HIV and AIDS Behavior Change Communication Programming (pp. 143) Director of Thesis: Rafael Obregon The twin challenges of HIV and the political crisis had debilitating effects on the communication efforts of health organizations in Zimbabwe. This study explores the effects of the Zimbabwean political crisis on the implementation of behavior change programs by eight implementing organizations in Zimbabwe. This thesis is a product of triangulation of methods, that is, ten interviews, two focus group discussions and documents review. Drawing from the structural intervention approach, this study analyzed political obstacles to successful health programming in Zimbabwe and highlighted the bi-directional causal connections between HIV and conflict. Key findings for the study are the government ban of field operations of NGOs, widespread violence against beneficiaries and staff, collapse of public health delivery system, migration, decline in funding and abuse of power by political leaders.
