Conflicts in 2013 Edited by András Lőrincz and Zuzana Balczová CONFLICTS IN 2013 Institute for Cultural Relations Policy CONTENTS CONFLICTS IN 2013 1 MAJOR CONFLICTS 2 LOCAL CONFLICTS 22 PROTESTS AND RIOTS 30 BORDER AND TERRITORIAL DISPUTES 36 TIMELINE 46 MAPS 55 CONFLICTS IN 2013 1 The year 2013 witnessed many of the ongoing conflicts besides the ones that newly emerged. Ethnic clashes, political aggressions and riots have occurred in all populated continents. The ICRP’s “Conflicts in 2013” publication aims at introducing key international events of paramount importance concerning major and local conflicts, terrorist attacks, protests, riots as well as border and territorial disputes which had been determining international or intercultural relations in 2013. As the quote says, there are as many opinions as there are experts. Each research institute has its own focus, its own method of selection regarding the most important conflicts and world events. Our approach towards conflicts prioritises areas which were in focus of ICRP’s monthly magazine, the Cultural Relations News & Background. The magazine published by the Institute on a monthly basis covered all the incidents and stories narrated in this special edition. However, this annual analysis could evoke a different view on the topics explored earlier. It often proves useful if a summary is written after a certain amount of time, nevertheless in most cases the conflicts mentioned have not terminated. For a better understanding of the reported affairs, the in-depth articles are also supplemented with data sheets, timelines and maps. Countries affected by conflicts in 2013 Many of the international events are not included in this publication. The year 2013 – as well as the previous years – had so many affairs starting from civil wars in Northern Mali, Syria, Central African Republic, the war in Afghanistan, continuing with the insurgency in Egypt and the Philippines. In 2013 the ethnic conflict continued in Nigeria, Sudan, Kenya, India and Thailand, not mention similar conflicts elsewhere. The threat of war in the region of the South China Sea and growing tensions between Israel and Palestine were also likely to escalate. The ethnic disagreements in Europe – in the case of Catalonia, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Székelyföld – were, however, more moderate comparing to the ethnic clashes outside Europe. Besides ethnic conflicts riots and heavy protests broke out in Europe and Southern America due to primarily economic reasons. Political motives were also behind the protests in Egypt, Turkey, Ukraine and Russia. We do not claim that these conflicts were solely the main determinants of the international relations in 2013. The year 2013 also brought new political and religious leaders, international cooperation and economic trade agreements. However, the conflicts will likely have long-run and extensive effects remaining long time in the mind of people.

  • Case Concerning Sovereignty Over Pulau Ligitan and Pulau Sipadan
    INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE CASE CONCERNING SOVEREIGNTY OVER PULAU LIGITAN AND PULAU SIPADAN OBSERVATIONS OF MALAYSIA ON THE APPLICATION FOR PERMISSION TO INTERVENE BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES 2 MAY 2001 CASE CONCERNING SOVEREIGNTY OVER PULAU LIGITAN AND PULAU SIPADAN (INDONESIA/MALAYSIA) Written Observations of Malaysia on the Application for permission to intervene by the Government of the Republic of the Phiiippines Introduction 1. These written observations are made by Malaysia in response to the Registrar's letter of 14 March 2001. 2. To summarize, Malaysia categorically rejects any attempt of the Philippines to concern itself with a territorial dispute involving two small islands off the coast of Sabah (formerly North Bomeo). The subject of the dispute between Indonesia and Malaysia is not Malaysia's sovereignty over the State of Sabah (which sovereignty Indonesia explicitly accepts and recognises). It is solely the question of title to two small islands off Semporna, Malaysia. Indonesia's claim is based on an interpretation of Article TV of the Convention of 1891 between Great Britain and the Netherlands. Spain had previously expressly recognised British title over the territory which was the subject of the 1891 Convention, by Article IJJ of the Protocol of 1885.' The Philippines can have no greater rights than Spain had. The interpretation of the 1891 Convention is thus a matter exclusively between Indonesia and Malaysia, in which the Philippines can have no legal interest. Nor does the Philippines have any legal interest in the subject matter of the specific dispute submitted to the Court by the Special Agreement.

  • Nativizing the Imperial: the Local Order and Articulations of Colonial Rule in Sulu, Philippines 1881-1920
    Nativizing the Imperial: The Local Order and Articulations of Colonial Rule in Sulu, Philippines 1881-1920 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University Cesar Andres-Miguel Suva U4927240 4 December, 2015 1 Statement of Originality The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge, my own original work, except where acknowledged in the text. (Sgd.) Cesar Andres-Miguel Suva 2 Nativizing the Imperial: The Local Order and Articulations of Colonial Rule in Sulu, Philippines 1881-1920 Thesis Abstract Cesar Suva Australian National University This study is of how local legitimacy anchored and influenced colonial regimes in the southern Philippine archipelago of Sulu in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In particular, it explores how the internal contest to establish a native moral order defined the dimensions of Sulu’s incorporation into the American Empire upon its arrival in 1899. It also provides further insight into a general pattern of native-colonial interaction throughout island Southeast Asia: a region where chiefly rule was often leaned upon by western empires of the nineteenth century. Through this discussion, orthodox notions of colonization, conquest, resistance and of the workings of modern colonial states, are re- examined. Most importantly, it will reveal how local understandings of governance and legitimacy, much more than American ones, profoundly affected the formation of the ‘modern’ order in Sulu. Through an examination of correspondence and dialogues with colonial officials, combined with contemporary and later twentieth century ethnographies and local oral literature recording colonial events, this study will venture to make the following key points: Firstly, The Americans, at their arrival in Sulu in 1899, slid into a long-established role as the colonial faction in the lingering contestations between elite rivals after the death of Sultan Jamalul Alam in 1881.

  • Application of Link Integrity Techniques from Hypermedia to the Semantic Web

In this work I present a method for locating linked data to preserve which functions even when the URI the user wishes to preserve does not resolve (i.e. is broken/not RDF) and an application for monitoring and preserving the data. This work is based upon the principle of adapting ideas from hypermedia link integrity in order to apply them to the Semantic Web.

  • Economic System of Malay Community: Self Sufficiency to Commercial Economic Level
    International Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 2 No. 1; January 2011 Economic System of Malay Community: Self Sufficiency to Commercial Economic Level Vijayaletchumy a/p Subramaniam, Ph.D* Wan Muna Ruzanna bt. Wan Mohammad** Noor Aina Dani, PhD Department of Malay Language Faculty of Malay Languages dan Communication Universiti Putra Malaysia E-mail: [email protected]*, [email protected]** Abstract: This paper discusses the economic system of Malay community from self-sufficiency to commercial level. Since the beginning of 19th century until 1963, the economic system in Malaysia can be categorised into 2 main categories; self-sufficiency economic system and commercial economic system. The pattern and manner of the economic system at that time followed exactly the system imposed by the ruler. Malay traditional economic system was different from the economic system brought by the British. The Malays based their economics on the self-sufficiency sytem. The purpose of this system was to support the family’s daily needs. Majority of these Malay communities lived by the riverside and at the remote areas. They planted paddy. When the British came and conquered Malaya, the self-sufficiency system was changed to the economic commercial from the aspect of planting, technology, and marketing. Now at the 21st century, Malays have transformed themselves systematically in this economic sector parallel to the world’s every need. The pattern of today’s economic is more commercialised with the help of the sophisticated technology. Nevertheless, being Malays, there are some of the communities who still cling to the self-sufficiency system as their hobby.

WARREN Sulu appears in Chinese sources as early as the Yuan dynasty ( 1268- 1368) and a lengthy account of a tributary mission in 1417 from Sulu to the celestial court is recorded in the Ming Annals. Little appears then to have been written about the Sulu chain of islands for several hundred years until the beginning of the eighteenth century, which witnessed an earnest renewal of diplo- matic activity and trade between China and the Sultanate. The Ching Annals refer to five separate tribute-bearing missions dis- patched by the Sultans of Sulu in the years between 1727 and 1763. The envoys of these missions, which were spaced approxi- mately a decade apart, spent several years in China before returning to Sulu on one of the great junks voyaging to the "tributary lands" bordering the South China Sea with renewed friendship and wealth in gifts.' The large number of references to Sulu in the Ch'ing Annals reflect the desire of the Sultans to extend their personal authority and wealth, and to strengthen the State's in- fluence in a politically fragmented region through Chinese recog- nition and commerce.
