Princess Ashraf PAHLAVI Iran -131- EjCN.4jSR.1C82 SUMMARY RECORD OF THE ONE THOUSAND AND EIGHTY-SECOND MEE.TING Held on Monday, 23 March 1970, at 3.30 p.m. Chairman: Princess Ashraf PAHLAVI Iran ., / ... E/ CN . J.~/SR.I082 -132- Qm:STION OF HUMAN BIGHTS IN THE TERRITORIES OCClJPIED AS A liT~S'JLT OF HOSTILITIES n:r THE MIDDLE FAST, INCLUDnm THE REPORT OF THE SPECIAL WOPJGNG GROUP OF EXPERTS (COMMISSION RJ~SOLUTION 6 (xxv)) (agenda item 5) (E/CN.Lf/1016 and Add.1-5; ~/CN. 4/L .1l~2) (concluded) Mr. BEJASA (Philippines) expressed the c;oncern of his Government for the civilian population which had been caught up in tde hostilities in the Middle East. Although he realized that the issue had c8mplex political implications, he was disappointed that the delegations had emphasized the political aspects. He helped trot wisdom would prevail and an equitable settlement would be reached on the basis of Security Council resellution 242 (1967). The report of the Special Working Group of Experts (E/CN.4/10l6 and Add.1-5) contained several judicious and constructive reconwendations, The Group was to be commended for having fuJ£illed its mission under such difficult circumstances. It was important, in considering its report, to remember that its mandate was limited to the investigation of allegations concerning Israel's violations of the Geneva Convention of August 1949 reJative to the Protection of Civilian Person8 in Time of War. Furthermore, the Group had explicitly stated that the evidence it had uncovered was one ··sided and that it "Has not in a position to verify juridically the allegations which it had received. His delegation felt that it was not possible to dra"l-} any firm conclusions 01' fact ::m the basis of the allegations he:Cl rd by the Special Horking· Group and shared its reluctance to express an unequivocal judgement. Pending a political settlement of the problem, the very constructive recommendations made by the Special "Harking Group offered the only reaJ. hape for relief of the civilian population in the occupied territories. Mr.~"}illAlAF (United A.rab Hepublic) said that it "I'I1;1,S reassuring to note that many of the delegatIons, even th~)se which had expressed reservations, had felt compassj.on for the plight of the civilian population in the Middle East. Some delegations had said that it was necessary to separate the political aspect from. the human rights aspect of the problem. He hoped that would be the philosophy of the Commission vlith regard to all the items on its agenda, The representative of the Philippines had said that the Special Worldng Group CQulc1 not prove the allegations it had heard because the evidence it had received had been one ··sidecl. He wished to stress the fact tbat neither the Commission n:lr /. , . -133- (111r. Kbala:f. United Arab ReQ!bJ.ic) --' ---- . -- the Special Working Group was to blame for that situation. Israel h8d refused to allow the Group to visit the occupied territories. It was up to Israel to enable the Working Group to hear the other side of the story. The representative of Israel had not been able to l"ef'ute any of the testimony recorded by the Special Wo!~ing Group. The Group had not only heard witnesses but had seen the evidence which they had adduced and had been able to reach definite conclusions on certain matters, such as the allegations concerning the destruction of entire villages and the deportation of thousands of people. !i'urthermore, the report of the Special Worldng Group "Was not the only source of in1 ormation regarding the violation of' hUll.,JD rights in the occupied territories. There were other reports and testimony, inclUding the reports of UNRWA, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and Amnesty International, the :i.mpartiality of which was beyond question. There were also the statements of the Israeli leaders themselves, such as General rayan and Yigal Allan, regarding the new settlements that ","ere being established and the deportation of 300,000 refugees from the Gaza Strip. The CHAIRIVfAN informed the Commission that Mr. Barton, Observer for the World Federation of Trade Unions, had requested permission to address the COl:1l11ission. If she heard n'.J objections) she vlould grant his request. It was so agreed. At the Chairman! s invitati~ lz Mr. Barton, Obsel'ver for the World Federation of Trade Unions, tool\: a 121ace at_ the Commission table. Mr. BARTON (v!orld Ii'ederation of' 'rrade Unions) said that in view of the implication which some members might r':_nd in the statement made at the previous meeting by the observer of a non-governmental organization, he felt compelled to emphasize that the point of viE:.w expressed did not represent the position of all non-governmental organizations. 1'he VTorld Federation of Trade Unions had condemned the violation of the human rights of the population in the territories occupied by Israel. At the I· .. E/CN .4/SR .1082 -134- (Mr. Barton, WFTU) Seventh World Trade Union Congress held in Budapest in Octoberl969 a resolution had been adopted stating, inter alia, that in expressing the will of a very broad section of the working class and the workers ~f the warld, the Congress resolutelY condemned the aggressive policy of Israel, backed by the forces of imperialism and world Zionism, demanded that th~ Israeli army should be immediately halted, that the consequences of the aggression should be eliminated, and that all the troops of occupation should be completedly and unconditionally withdrawn from the occupie Arab territories. The WFTU Executive Bureau, meeting in Khartoum in February, had adopted a resolution affirming the solidarity of WFTU with the Arab peoples. At a meeting held on l March 1970 between delegations of WFTU and the International Confederation of Arab Trade Unions, the two organizations had agreed to create an international trade union committee of solidarity with the Palestinian workers and people and to publish jointly a Wpite Book containing the reports of a Commission of Inquiry concerning the fate of the Arab population and workers and of the Palestinian refugees. WFTU considered that the violations of human rights and of the Geneva Convention by the Israeli Government in the occupied territories arose from the nature of the aggression committed by Israel and the illegal methods used in its attempt to force the populati~n to collaborate with the occupying Power. The report of the Special Working Group of Experts provided considerable evidence of the violation of human rights and of the Geneva Convention in the territories occupied by Israel and \~TU hoped that the Commission would adopt the resolution submitted to it on the basis of the report. For its part, WFTU, was resolved to strengthen its efforts to uphold the rights of the Palestinian and other Arab workers and peoples. Mr. SCHREIBER (Director, Division of Human Rights) said it was difficul1 at the present~age, to estimate the financial implications of the draft resolutic contained in document EjCN.4/L.ll42. A certain number of elements were still missing. The Secretariat had contacted the members of the Special Working Group with regard to its plans for carrying out its functions in the Middle East, in addition to its functions in South Africa, but the Working Group had not yet been j . .. -135- E/CN.4/sR .1002 (Mr. Schreiber; Director; Division of Human Rights) able to meet and discuss appropriate arrangements. Furthermore; certain information which had to be obtained from Geneva had not yet reached the Secretariat. The Under-Secretar,y-General for Conference Services had informed him that the Secretariat would n~t be in a position to provide the necessary services for the transcription, translation and reproduction of testimony during the session of the General Assembly. For the time being) he could only provide a rough estimate of the costs which would be involved if the Special Working Group should decide to carry out its investigations in the Middle East in conjunction with its trip to southern Africa. The cost of the trip to the Middle East would be on the order of $108,570 for 1970 and $27;580 for 1971. Those figures were based on the corresponding expenditures for the previous year. The Secretariat hoped that after the members of the Working Group had the opportunity of considering their programme of work under the two resolutions - the one relating to African territories and the one relating to occupied territories - it might be possible to present more specific estimates to the Economic and Social Council when it examined the report of the Commission. Mrs. OULD DADDAH (Mauritania) thanked the representative of the Secretary­ General for the information regarding the financial implications of the draft resolution. The sponsors wished to make it clear that operative paragraph 9 should be interpreted as expressing a decision of the Commission that the Working Group should conduct its investigations in the occupied territories themselves. That seemed to be the wish of most delegations. The Working Group should hear witnesses from both sides and report to the Commission on the situation inside the occupied territories. The Commission would then be in a better position to assess the objections which had been raised by certain delegations regarding the one-sidedness of the testimonies. Mr. BENHIMA (Morocco) thanked the representative of the SecretarY-General for the information he had provided. However; it was his understanding that the two mandates of the Working Group, regarding South Af~ica and the Middle East) should not be confused. He would prefer to have the financial implications regarding the mission to the Middle East presented separately from those of any other missions the members of the Working Group might undertake.

This project follows the memoir boom fueled by many Middle Eastern women writers publishing in the U.S., Australia and Europe. By studying contemporary Arab and Iranian women’s memoirs and autobiofictional works, this project investigates the expression of life writers who are trying to influence their local and global communities through the form of the confessional. This research project focuses on modes of self-representation in Middle Eastern women’s personal narratives, paying careful attention to the narrative strategies they use to negotiate art and meaning within memoir. ii The first chapter, entitled, “True Lies: Reviving Orientalism in Honor-Killing Hoaxes” argues that the two so-called “honor killing” memoirs, Forbidden Love and Burned Alive, were successfully believed as genuine memoirs for over two years, despite the fact that they were hoaxes, because of the political post-9/11 climate resurrecting Orientalist attitudes about the Middle East.

  • The Historical Relationship Between Women's Education and Women's
    The Historical Relationship between Women’s Education and Women’s Activism in Iran Somayyeh Mottaghi The University of York, UK Abstract This paper focuses on the historical relationship between women’s education and women’s activism in Iran. The available literature shows that education is consid- ered to be one important factor for Iranian women’s activism. The historical anal- ysis of women’s demand for education helps us to gain an understanding of the past in order to relate it to the future. This paper analyzes Iranian women’s active participation in education throughout the Safavid period (1501-1722) and the Qajar period (1794-1925). Women’s demand for education continued into the twentieth century and by the time of the constitutional revolution (1905-1911), during which Iranian women participated immensely in political affairs, the alliance of elite and non-elite women was clearly visible around educational issues. Women’s demand for education gained particular visibility; however, the focus shifted from modernization based on Westernization during the Pahlavi period (1925-1979), towards Islamization from 1979 onwards. This paper analyzes the ways in which, during different eras, women have been treated differently regard- ing their rights to education and at some points they faced difficulties even in exercising them; therefore, they had to constantly express their demands. Key words Iran, Education, Women’s movement, Historical perspective Introduction The historical analysis of women’s activism in Iran shows that educa- tion has always been considered an important factor for Iranian women and something that they have always demanded. The right to education is non-negotiable, embedded in the teaching of Islam as well as in hu- ㅣ4 ❙ Somayyeh Mottaghi man rights provisions.

  • One Revolution Or Two? the Iranian Revolution and the Islamic Republic
    ONE REVOLUTION OR TWO? THE IRANIAN REVOLUTION AND THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC By Val Moghadam Introduction The bicentennial of the French Revolution happens to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the Iranian Revolution. While the first has been widely regarded as the quintessential social and transformative revolution, the sec- ond is problematical both theoretically and politically. Whereas the October Revolution was in many ways the vanguard revolution par excellence, the Iranian Revolution appears retrograde. In the Marxist view, revolution is an essential part of the forward march of history, a progressive step creating new social-productive relations as well as a new political system, consciousness and values. In this context, how might events in Iran be termed 'revolutionary'? Precisely what kind of a revolution transpired between 1977 and 1979 (and afterward)? Surely clerical rule cannot be regarded as progressive? In what sense, then, can we regard the Iranian Revolution as a step forward in the struggle for emancipation of the Iranian working classes? Clearly the Iranian Revolution presents itself as an anomaly. The major revolutions that have been observed and theorized are catego- rized by Marxists as bourgeois or socialist revolutions.1 This is determined by the revolution's ideology, leadership, programme, class base and orientation, and by changes in the social structure following the change of regime. Fur- ther, there is a relationship between modernity and revolution, as discussed by Marx and Engels in The Communist Manifesto, suggested by Marshall Berman in his engaging All That Is Solid Melts Into Air, and elaborated by Perry Anderson in a recent essay .2 Some academic theorists of revolution and social change (Banington Moore, Theda Skocpol, Charles Tilly, Ellen Kay Trimberger, Susan Eckstein, taking their cue from Marx) have stressed the modernizing role played by revolutions.

  • Shahr-E Now, Tehran's Red-Light District (1909–1979)
    SHAHR-E NOW, TEHRAN’S RED-LIGHT DISTRICT (1909–1979): THE STATE, “THE PROSTITUTE,” THE SOLDIER, AND THE FEMINIST By Samin Rashidbeigi Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of European Master in Women’s and Gender History Supervisor: Professor Francisca de Haan CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2015 Abstract This thesis deals with the history of Shahr-e Now, Tehran’s red-light district from 1909 until the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The district, as large as two football pitches, functioned as a sex market for almost seventy years with around 1,500 prostitutes living and working there. Shahr-e Now’s existence as “Tehran’s red-light district before the 1979 Revolution” has been only briefly mentioned in a number of scholarly works; however, the district has not been analyzed as a gendered and politically relevant urban construction in the context of modern Iranian history. This thesis uses the archival documents collected from The National Archive of Iran and The Document Center of Iran’s Parliament to explain Shahr-e Now’s long-lasting functioning in front of the public eye—despite the fundamental tension with Islamic morale. This thesis argues, firstly, that Shahr-e Now was initiated by state officials, and preserved during the Pahlavi period (1925–1979), mainly for the sake of the military population in Tehran. Using the vast literature on the rise of the modern army in Iran as part of the Pahlavi Dynasty’s establishment, this thesis explains that the increasing number of soldiers in Tehran was the main reason why the Pahlavi regime enabled/allowed the creation of Shahr-e Now; the state-regulated prostitution in Shahr-e Now served to provide the military with “clean women.” Moreover, this thesis suggests that the system of regulation within SN was pretty much similar to systems of regulation enforced by other modern(izing) nation states in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Foreign Governments as Plaintiffs in U.S. Courts and the Case Against "Judicial Imperialism" Hannah L. Buxbaum* Abstract One consequence of the increasingly transnationalnature of civil litigation is that U.S. courts must frequently address the interests of foreign sovereigns. These interactions arise primarily in three contexts: when a foreign government is the defendant in a U.S. court; when a claim requires a U.S. court to scrutinize actions taken by a foreign government; and when a U.S. court seeks to apply U.S. law to persons or conduct within a foreign government's borders. Each of these contexts invokes a narrative in which the engagement of U.S. courts interferes or conflicts with the prerogatives of a foreign sovereign.
