  • Estratégia De Subversão
    ANEXOS: Gioconda Cardoso 1 ANEXO 1: Gioconda Cardoso 2 OPERACIONALIZAÇÃO DE CONCEITOS: Agressão: A Assembleia Geral da Organização das Nações Unidas (AGONU) aprovou a Resolução 3341 que contém a definição de “Agressão”, em Abril de 1974, segundo a proposta da Comissão Especial sobre a questão da definição de Agressão. Assim, a AGONU definiu agressão como “o uso da força armada por um Estado contra a soberania, integridade territorial ou independência política de outro Estado, através da invasão ou ocupação de território, bombardeamento, bloqueio naval, ataque a forças armadas de outro Estado, disponibilização do território, para condução de actos de agressão contra terceiros ou contratação de mercenários.” O conceito de agressão é empregue nas relações internacionais, para definir “o acto bélico cometido por um Estado (agressor) contra outro Estado (agredido), sem ser no exercício de missão policial determinada por organismo competente, ou em legítima defesa.”1 Ameaça2: No que se refere a este conceito, consideramos que ele consiste no resultado da multiplicação da capacidade pela intenção. A capacidade resulta da força objectiva de um Estado. A sua formação demora anos, e consequentemente é um factor de longo prazo. A intenção é a vontade manifesta de um Estado. É um factor de curto prazo, porque sendo uma intenção, sofre alterações súbitas, na medida em que acaba por depender da vontade de quem decide. Assim, quanto maior forem, simultaneamente, a capacidade e a intenção, 1 Apud, CAETANO, Marcello, “agressão” in RIBEIRO, Henrique M.

  • Position Paper on the Israeli Government’S Decision to Relieve Illegal Jewish Settlers in the Occupied Syrian Golan from Paying Tax
    Al-Marsad’s Position Paper on the Israeli Government’s Decision to Relieve Illegal Jewish Settlers in the Occupied Syrian Golan from Paying Tax Abstract: On 10th February 2010 the Israeli Knesset, considered a private bill that would grant tax benefits to illegal Jewish settlers of the Occupied Syrian Golan if it is enacted. Under the bill 33 illegal Jewish settlements within the Golan would be added to a list of towns and settlements in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories which receive 13% tax reductions. Meanwhile, the indigenous Syrian population of the Occupied Golan will continue to have to pay full taxes resulting in further evidence of Israeli policies favouring illegal Jewish settlers and ignoring the rights of the indigenous Syrian population. Of the 120 Knesset members, 67 voted in favour of the bill, 13 voted against and the rest either abstained or were absent. The bill is in the preliminary stages and must pass three more readings before it becomes law. However, with the combination of majority support, passiveness of a number of the Knesset members and a tradition of constant Israeli policies of colonial occupation, settlement construction and expansion, annexation and the exclusion of the indigenous Syrian population of the Golan, and the grave breaches of their rights, there is a strong possibility that this bill will succeed. Al-Marsad calls for the rejection of this bill stating that the only outcome of enacting this bill would be to facilitate negative impacts upon peace, human rights and international humanitarian law, and to encourage the continuation of illegal settlement development and expansion.
