  • Central African Republic Mid-Term Implementation Assessment
    CCeennttrraall AAffrriiccaann RRee p puubblliicc MMiidd--tteerrmm IImmppllee mmeennttaattiioonn AAsssseessssmmeenntt Mid-term Implementation Assessment: Central African Republic Introduction 1. Purpose of the follow-up programme The second and subsequent cycles of the review should focus on, inter alia, the implementation of the accepted recommendations and the development of the human rights situation in the State under review. A/HRC/RES/16/21, 12 April 2011 (Annex I C § 6) The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process takes place every four and half years; however, some recommendations can be implemented immediately. In order to reduce this interval, we have created an update process to evaluate the human rights situation two years after the examination at the UPR. Broadly speaking, UPR Info seeks to ensure the respect of commitments made in the UPR, but also, more specifically, to give stakeholders the opportunity to share their opinion on the commitments. To this end, about two years after the review, UPR Info invites States, NGOs, and National Institutions for Human Rights (NHRI) to share their comments on the implementation (or lack thereof) of recommendations adopted at the Human Rights Council (HRC) plenary session. For this purpose, UPR Info publishes a Mid-term Implementation Assessment (MIA) including responses from each stakeholder. The MIA is meant to show how all stakeholders are disposed to follow through on, and implement their commitments. States should implement the recommendations that they have accepted, and civil society should monitor that implementation. While the follow-up’s importance has been highlighted by the HRC, no precise directives regarding the follow-up procedure have been set until now.

The report was drafted by 8 and endorsed by 81 women’s and LGBTIQ organizations to outline the emerging issues related to violence against women and the defects and malpractices with regards to the implementation of the Convention. Under the coordination of Purple Roof Women’s Shelters Association, we first started to come together to share tasks and agree on the time plan in order to prepare the report till the end of May, which was the deadline for the submission of the state report. However, as we found out later, Turkey delayed the submission till July without informing the CSOs, thus we had to decide to proceed to draft the NGO report without seeing the state’s report.

  • Palestinian Women's Movements and Their Relations with the Palestinian
    Palestinian Women’s Movements and Their Relations With the Palestinian Nationalist Movement: A History of Partnership and A Future of Challenging Cooperation Ihab Aldaqqaq Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ihab Aldaqqaq All rights reserved ABSTRACT Palestinian Women’s Movements and Their Relations With the Palestinian Nationalist Movement: A History of Partnership and A Future of Challenging Cooperation Ihab Aldaqqaq This study investigates the relationship between Palestinian Women’s Movement(s) (PWMs) and the Palestinian Nationalist Movement (PNM). A closer look at the descriptive research about (PWMs) indicates that both movements have generally been perceived as one entity by some Palestinian activists as well as scholars who have explored Palestinian nationalism. Here, we address questions about the nature of women’s activism in Palestine and seek to assess to what extent this organizing and mobilization form a social movement, particularly questions that focus on important factors such as faction dynamics, funding dynamics, perceptions and relationships issues, leadership features and religion dynamics. Taking into consideration the specificity of women’s movements in a nation that has survived military occupation for over five decades under military occupation, this research draws on a number of theories, including resource mobilization and resource dependence as well as political opportunity theories. The research is rooted in extensive interviews with former and current women activists, in addition to chief executive officers (CEOs) of Palestinian women’s movement organizations located in the West Bank, Palestine.

  • Migration Profile: Egypt Françoise De Bel-Air
    Issue 2016/01 February 2016 Migration Profile: Egypt Françoise De Bel-Air Egypt is the most populous Arab country with, as of December 2015, 90.2 million inhabitants. Not surprisingly, it is the largest migrant sending country in the region to date. After a phase of legal restrictions on emigration under Nasser’s regime, Egyptian emigration took off after 1971. The economy and national borders were opened to the circulation of goods and persons (infitah) under President Sadat. The right to migrate is enshrined in the 1971 Constitution. The 1973 War and the ensuing hike in oil prices having stimulated strong work force needs in oil-producing countries, large BRIEF numbers of emigrants left Egypt for Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf states, to Iraq as well as to Libya. During the 1980s and 1990s, Egypt went through several phases of migration ebbs and flows, especially to the Gulf and other Arab States, the main outlet for Egyptian migrants. During the 1980s, the Gulf States enacted a policy of replacing the Arab work force with Asian labourers. The First Gulf War of 1990-91 forced all Egyptian workers out of Iraq, as Egypt sided with the west against the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Many of these workers were redirected to Libya POLICY and to Saudi Arabia. Between 2003 and 2008, migration to the Gulf was sustained by high oil prices. Since 2011, however, and in spite of a new hike in hydrocarbon prices that ended in 2014, political events have affected Egyptian migration patterns. migrationpolicycentre.eu The Arab uprisings spurred new policies of workforce for Egyptians living abroad.

  • GE's Nela Park Facility More Than 100 Years of Lighting Innovation
    GE's Nela Park Facility More Than 100 Years of Lighting Innovation https://www.cleveland.com/business/2017/09/ges_nela_park_an_uncertain_fut.html ---------------------------------- By Marcia Pledger, The Plain Dealer EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio - Nela Park in East Cleveland remains the headquarters for General Electric's lighting division. Nela was the first industrial park in the world, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. But the future of the campus is uncertain. In June, 2019, General Electric announced plans to put its iconic lighting business up for sale. In 1912, two decades after General Thomson-Houston merged with the Edison General Electric Company to form GE, the foundation for the company's lighting division was being laid at Nela Park industrial park. GE absorbed the National Electric Lamp Association (NELA) into its lighting business. GE has been moving away from consumer electronics and toward machinery such as aircraft engines, Industrial Internet services, and wind turbines. Last year, GE's lighting business made up less than 2 percent of its total revenue, and the company only employs about 300 people in the lighting division in Northeast Ohio. Just four years ago, the company employed about 700 people in the area. Five years ago, a new generation of GE employees, dug up a time capsule buried a century earlier, and buried another. Inside the one buried 100 years ago, was lighting technology from the horse and buggy era. Artifacts inside the lead box, included photos of Nela's founders, journals, a book of technical specifications, and a Plain Dealer dated March 21, 1912.
