The Pulitzer Prizes for International Reporting in the Third Phase of Their Development, 1963-1977
INTRODUCTION THE PULITZER PRIZES FOR INTERNATIONAL REPORTING IN THE THIRD PHASE OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT, 1963-1977 Heinz-Dietrich Fischer The rivalry between the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. having shifted, in part, to predomi- nance in the fields of space-travel and satellites in the upcoming space age, thus opening a new dimension in the Cold War,1 there were still existing other controversial issues in policy and journalism. "While the colorful space competition held the forefront of public atten- tion," Hohenberg remarks, "the trained diplomatic correspondents of the major newspa- pers and wire services in the West carried on almost alone the difficult and unpopular East- West negotiations to achieve atomic control and regulation and reduction of armaments. The public seemed to want to ignore the hard fact that rockets capable of boosting people into orbit for prolonged periods could also deliver atomic warheads to any part of the earth. It continued, therefore, to be the task of the responsible press to assign competent and highly trained correspondents to this forbidding subject. They did not have the glamor of TV or the excitement of a space shot to focus public attention on their work. Theirs was the responsibility of obliging editors to publish material that was complicated and not at all easy for an indifferent public to grasp. It had to be done by abandoning the familiar cliches of journalism in favor of the care and the art of the superior historian .. On such an assignment, no correspondent was a 'foreign' correspondent. The term was outdated. -

Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts
Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts Shahnaz Begum Laghari PhD University of York Women’s Studies March 2016 Abstract The aim of this project is to investigate the phenomenon of honour-related violence, the most extreme form of which is honour killing. The research was conducted in Sindh (one of the four provinces of Pakistan). The main research question is, ‘Are these killings for honour?’ This study was inspired by a need to investigate whether the practice of honour killing in Sindh is still guided by the norm of honour or whether other elements have come to the fore. It is comprised of the experiences of those involved in honour killings through informal, semi- structured, open-ended, in-depth interviews, conducted under the framework of the qualitative method. The aim of my thesis is to apply a feminist perspective in interpreting the data to explore the tradition of honour killing and to let the versions of the affected people be heard. In my research, the women who are accused as karis, having very little redress, are uncertain about their lives; they speak and reveal the motives behind the allegations and killings in the name of honour. The male killers, whom I met inside and outside the jails, justify their act of killing in the name of honour, culture, tradition and religion. Drawing upon interviews with thirteen women and thirteen men, I explore and interpret the data to reveal their childhood, educational, financial and social conditions and the impacts of these on their lives, thoughts and actions. -

I was fourteen when the Khmer Rouge came to Phnom Penh in April 1975. At the time, I lived in Toul Kauk, a Phnom Penh suburb. I was home alone when young Khmer Rouge comrades came to chase me out of the house on the morning of 17 April. My mother, who’d been hoping to collect me later, had previously moved with the rest of the family to my uncle’s house for greater safety. -

Precedents provide attention. Unlike other aircraft accidents which may be context. Also necessary is a clear understanding of the resolved by evidence at the accident site, the rogue pilot terms that may apply to these types of cases. Finally, this investigation takes the investigator into non-traditional paper will examine the rogue pilot/intentional crashing areas of inquiry. Specifically, it will take the investigator phenomenon from two complementary perspectives. into the personal and often private life of the flight crew. First, as a crime that takes place within an aviation While accident investigators have adeptly addressed the context; and second, as a human factors/psychological issue of Human Factors via the lens of Crew Resource mishap that has profound aviation safety repercussions. Management (CRM), Threat and Error Management (TEM) and Human Factors Analysis and Classification I am not a psychologist. I am however an investigator (HFACS) for decades, the issue of the intentional crashing who dedicated 18 years of my FAA/TSA career to the of an aircraft by the pilot remains largely a dark corner of investigation and mitigation of unlawful acts against ignorance. The purpose of this paper is to focus the light civil aviation. Unlawful implies intentional. Unlawful and of understanding onto this issue so that we can take a intentional are two of the elements of the rogue pilot confident step forward in accident investigation. -
Rape and Forced Pregnancy As Genocide Before the Bangladesh Tribunal
4 ‐ TAKAI ‐ TICLJ 2/29/2012 5:31:50 PM RAPE AND FORCED PREGNANCY AS GENOCIDE BEFORE THE BANGLADESH TRIBUNAL Alexandra Takai* I. INTRODUCTION Rape as an act of genocide is a recent and controversial topic in international law. When genocide first emerged as an international crime in response to the atrocities committed by the Nazis during World War II, sexual violence was not part of the discourse. In 1948, when the Genocide Convention was established to define and codify the crime of genocide, rape was still viewed as an inevitable byproduct of war1 rather than a deliberate strategy. It was not until 1998 in the landmark case of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, Prosecutor v. Akayesu,2 when rape was successfully prosecuted as an act of genocide. In the wake of Akayesu, the international legal community is beginning to recognize genocidal rape as a distinct crime. During the 1971 Liberation War, in which Bangladesh seceded from Pakistan,3 it is estimated that between 200,000 and 400,000 women were raped,4 and thousands became pregnant as a result.5 Four decades later, Bangladesh’s International Criminal Tribunal (the “Tribunal”) began to charge individuals for crimes committed during the Liberation war.6 The Tribunal has yet to establish a prosecutorial plan for sexual crimes, opening up debate * J.D.
