  • The Case of Shia Muslims
    ajiss31-2_ajiss 3/26/2014 8:07 AM Page 153 Conference, Symposium, and Panel Reports The Role of Education in Implementing Social Justice: The Case of Shia Muslims In honor of World Day of Social Justice, on February 24, 2014, Shia Rights Watch and American University held the first-ever conference devoted to pre- senting new paradigms for exploring how the rights of the minority Shia Mus- lim community can be protected against such entrenched realities as subordination, injustice, violence, discrimination, and marginalization. Social scientists define minority as a culturally, ethnically, religiously, or racially dis- tinct group that coexists with, but is subordinate to, a more dominant group. This subordinancy, the chief defining characteristic of any minority, has noth- ing to do with numbers, a fact perhaps most vividly illustrated by South Africa under apartheid (c. 1950-91). The conference, held at American University, was cosponsored by the Mohammed Said Farsi Chair of Islamic Peace. Well-known and high caliber policymakers, professors, and researchers shared their findings in order to offer solutions designed to foster peace, tolerance, and religious freedom for this group and the regions in which they reside. In his capacity as the first occupant of the endowed Mohammed Said Farsi Chair of Islamic Peace as well as the founder of the university-wide Center for Global Peace, Abdul Aziz Said (School of International Service, American University) welcomed everyone. He remarked that peace is far more than the absence of war, that it is, in fact, inclusive of social justice, eco- logical sustainability, sustainable economics, and cultural diversity (peace as the absence of structural violence).

  • MIDDLE EAST WATCH OVERVIEW Human Rights Developments The
    MIDDLE EAST WATCH OVERVIEW Human Rights Developments The Middle East and North Africa remain plagued by severe human rights problems. The torture of political detainees is commonplace, and often routine. Extrajudicial executions and executions after trials lacking in due process take place with regularity in Iraq, Iran and, to a lesser extent, Saudi Arabia. In the past, the Syrian authorities have been guilty of this abuse as well. Arguably, the killing of suspected militants in Egypt and the Israeli-occupied territories, when arrests could have been effectedCa feature of the civil strife plaguing both regionsCalso constitute extrajudicial executions by government agents. In counterpoint, armed underground groups often assassinate suspected opponents in these regions, as well as in Algeria. The officially sanctioned persecution of religious or ethnic minorities, or the absence of government protection in the face of attacks by members of the majority community, is an endemic problem in parts of the Middle East. For instance, during 1992, Palestinians and Bedoon residents of Kuwait endured unrelenting pressures aimed at forcing them out of the country; Baha'is and evangelical Christians faced renewed persecution in Iran. The arbitrary detention of government opponents is also rampant throughout the region. From Morocco to Iran, tens of thousands are in jail on politically motivated grounds; even the Kurdish authorities, ruling over an autonomous enclave of some 3.5 million people in northern Iraq, resorted in late 1992 to the detention without charge of hundreds of sympathizers of militant parties. The end of the Cold War and subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union transformed prospects for the promotion of human rights in the Middle East and North Africa (the Maghreb states).

  • Lebanon Limitations on Rights of Palestinian Refugee Children
    Lebanon Limitations on Rights of Palestinian Refugee Children Briefing to the Committee on the Rights of the Child 42nd session of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (the Committee), May-June 2006: Comments by Amnesty International on the compliance by Lebanon with its obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child (the Convention) This document is submitted to the Committee on the occasion of the examination of Lebanon’s third periodic report. The submission addresses some of Amnesty International’s specific concerns relating to the rights of Palestinian children in Lebanon and is an outcome of the organization’s research into the conditions of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. This follows on from a briefing made to the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) in 2004,(1) addressing limitations on the rights of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. Since then, little has changed, and the various limitations on the rights of Palestinian refugees remain. A positive step was the decision of the Lebanese Minister of Labour on 27 June 2005 which relaxed the restrictions on Palestinian refugees’ access to employment; however, the restrictions were only partially alleviated. Amnesty International considers that the issues presented in this document raise important human rights concerns in relation to Lebanon’s obligations under international human rights law in general, and under the Convention in particular. It should be noted that this document does not seek to address all of the human rights issues relevant to children in Lebanon, either of Palestinian or of other origin. In this document, Amnesty International aims briefly to describe how state policies and practices in Lebanon discriminate, effectively on grounds of racial and national origin, against Palestinian refugees who reside in Lebanon and that, consequently, Lebanon is failing to comply with its obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child with respect to Palestinian children.

  • Saudi Arabia 2020 International Religious Freedom Report
    SAUDI ARABIA 2020 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary According to the 1992 Basic Law of Governance, the country’s official religion is Islam and the constitution is the Quran and Sunna (traditions and practices based on the life of the Prophet Mohammed). The legal system is based largely on sharia as interpreted by the Hanbali school of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence. Freedom of religion is not provided under the law. The law criminalizes “anyone who challenges, either directly or indirectly, the religion or justice of the King or Crown Prince.” The law criminalizes “the promotion of atheistic ideologies in any form,” “any attempt to cast doubt on the fundamentals of Islam,” publications that “contradict the provisions of Islamic law,” and other acts including non-Islamic public worship, public display of non-Islamic religious symbols, conversion by a Muslim to another religion, and proselytizing by a non-Muslim. In practice, there is some limited tolerance of private, non-Islamic religious exercise, but religious practices at variance with the government-promoted form of Sunni Islam remained vulnerable to detention, harassment, and, for noncitizens, deportation. According to Shia community members, processions and gatherings continued due to decreased political tensions and greater coordination between the Shia community and authorities, and Ashura commemorations (of the martyrdom of Hussein ibn Ali, the grandson of the Prophet Mohammed) were marked by improved sectarian relations and public calls for mutual tolerance. Shia activists stated, however, that authorities continued to target members of their community on a religious basis with security operations and legal proceedings. In July, Shia Rights Watch (SRW) reported that security forces raided the largely Shia town of Safwa, resulting in several arrests and one injury.

  • Human Rights in Lebanon
    Human Rights Council Twenty-fourth session Agenda item 10 Human Rights in Lebanon The human rights situation in Lebanon is rapidly deteriorating due to internal strife fueled by the spillover of the Syrian crisis. Moreover, the resignation of Prime Minister Najib Mikati, the dismantlement of his government at the end of the March 2013 and the Parliament's decision to renew its own mandate in May 2013 have further entrenched Lebanon in a political deadlock with negative impacts for the state of human rights in the country. Acts of violence and terrorism arising from sectarian and political tensions are not new to Lebanon, and civilians bear the brunt of violent clashes that have left hundreds dead in recent months throughout the country. The Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies (CIHRS) calls on the Lebanese government to take all necessary measures to protect residents from the recurrence of such acts by deploying more trained security forces in the affected areas, rather than waiting until clashes start to dispatch these forces. Violence committed in recent years reveals a trend to target specific areas by some armed political groups aiming to intimidate and terrorize Lebanon’s residents. The consistent failure of the Lebanese government to take adequate measures to protect against and deter constant shelling and targeting of civilians constitutes a violation to the obligations of the state of Lebanon under international law.
