Lebanon has experienced in the past few years domestic crimes that have been unprecedented in their brutality and unfamiliarity. The crimes have been unfolding within the nuclear family and inside the same household among people who are supposed to be united by bonds of love and mercy. Yet, and for various reasons, love has turned into hatred and mercy into cruelty, and women have been on many occasions the most victimized by this shift. Undoubtedly, domestic offenses are criminalized by law and the punishment usually ranges between imprisonment and death sentence depending on the brutality of the case. In this context, Lebanon’s Joint Parliamentary Committees have discussed and approved recently a draft law aimed at protecting women from domestic violence. Draft Domestic Violence Law Article 26 By virtue of Decree no. 4116, dated May 28, 2010, Initially, Article 26 stipulated the “cancellation of all the Lebanese government referred to Parliament a texts contradictory to the provisions of the draft law.” draft law on the protection of women from domestic However, it was amended later to read as follows: violence. The Joint Parliamentary Committees on “Any judicial authority, including all religious and May 24, 2011- about one year later- in order to discuss spiritual bodies, should report to the family court the draft law, established an ad-hoc committee.

In their turn, the Joint Parliamentary Committees gave their go-ahead and After due consideration was given to the remarks and the draft law is now awaiting the approval of the demands of the pertinent religious authorities, the Parliament’s General Assembly. Article assumed the following final form: “All texts contradicting the provisions of this draft law shall be How It All Started cancelled. However, should the provisions set herein The law against domestic violence was first drafted be at odds with those of the Personal Status Law or in 2008 by the NGO KAFA- Enough Violence and the jurisdiction of the religious and spiritual courts, Exploitation, but it was not until 2009 that it was the latter shall apply in all cases.” handed over to the Cabinet through the Ministry of Justice.

  • AND WESTERN SYRIA PART III FAMILY ISOTOMIDAE the Work
    THE COLLEMBOLA OF LEBANON AND WESTERN SYRIA PART III FAMILY ISOTOMIDAE BY K. CHRISTIANSEN Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa The work herein described was done under N.S.F. Grant G 4563. I wish to gratefully acknowledge the work of my assistant, Jerry Tecklin, who did all of the preliminary sorting and most of the handling and mounting of the material here studied. Relatively little has been known about the Isotomidae of the Syrian region. Until the work of Cassagnau and Delamare only a few of the more prominent epigeic forms had been described. With the above mentioned work th.e recorded species from the area were eight. In the present study four of these forms were recovered and two others were probably recovered. In addition 16 new records were established. Anurophorus coiffaiti Cassagnau & Delamare Plate 8, figures 6, 7 Anurophorus coi]]aii P. Cassagnau & C1. Delamore, 1951 Biospeologic 75:377,378. This species was the first of the genus to be described from Western Syria. The specimens at hand agree well with the illustrations and figures given by Delamare and Cassagnau. The P.A.o. (see figure 7) is characteristically oval with a definite indentation or indication of a listel at least on the forward margin. The abdominal thickenings chararacteristic of the species vary a great deal but some indication of these can be seen even in the youngest speci- mens. In some forms these fuse into a single large ubercle- like projection. The sense organ of the third antennal segment usually has only two short setae between the Published with the aid of a grant from the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College.

  • The War of Famine: Everyday Life in Wartime Beirut and Mount Lebanon (1914-1918)
    The War of Famine: Everyday Life in Wartime Beirut and Mount Lebanon (1914-1918) by Melanie Tanielian A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Beshara Doumani Professor Saba Mahmood Professor Margaret L. Anderson Professor Keith D. Watenpaugh Fall 2012 The War of Famine: Everyday Life in Wartime Beirut and Mount Lebanon (1914-1918) © Copyright 2012, Melanie Tanielian All Rights Reserved Abstract The War of Famine: Everyday Life in Wartime Beirut and Mount Lebanon (1914-1918) By Melanie Tanielian History University of California, Berkeley Professor Beshara Doumani, Chair World War I, no doubt, was a pivotal event in the history of the Middle East, as it marked the transition from empires to nation states. Taking Beirut and Mount Lebanon as a case study, the dissertation focuses on the experience of Ottoman civilians on the homefront and exposes the paradoxes of the Great War, in its totalizing and transformative nature. Focusing on the causes and symptoms of what locals have coined the ‘war of famine’ as well as on international and local relief efforts, the dissertation demonstrates how wartime privations fragmented the citizenry, turning neighbor against neighbor and brother against brother, and at the same time enabled social and administrative changes that resulted in the consolidation and strengthening of bureaucratic hierarchies and patron-client relationships. This dissertation is a detailed analysis of socio-economic challenges that the war posed for Ottoman subjects, focusing primarily on the distorting effects of food shortages, disease, wartime requisitioning, confiscations and conscriptions on everyday life as well as on the efforts of the local municipality and civil society organizations to provision and care for civilians.

  • Archives This Page Lists the Approximately 1,900 Archival Items
    Archives This page lists the approximately 1,900 archival items that are held by the N.E.S.T. Special Collections. The majority of these items are from the Syria Mission of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM), and later of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. (PCUSA), as well as affiliated institutions, such as the American Mission Press, the Chouir Conference Center, the Gerard Institution, the Anglo-American Church and N.E.S.T. itself. Items range from personal diaries of missionaries, correspondences, institutional records, brochures, school yearbooks, newspapers, pamphlets and stamps. Photographs and maps are listed in separate indexes due to their size, location in the Special Collection Room and descriptive details. The archives of the Syria Mission were originally organized by missionary James Willoughby in 1966, the index of which is archival item 432. Willoughby's arrangement was not preserved during the transference of the N.E.S.T. library to its location on Ras Beirut in 1974. As such, in 2012 a project was initiated under the title Preserving Protestant Heritage in the Middle East (PPHME) with the aim of reorganizing N.E.S.T.’s Special Collections. During the first phase of the PPHME the archival items were indexed according to the order that they were found. As a result, only some items are grouped according to affiliated organization. Part of the next phase of the PPHME project is to organize the archival material into subject areas. As such, each archival item is given a temporary inventory number (as opposed to a more permanent shelf mark).
