    Artical Name : Vision from Within Artical Subject : Where is Tunisia Heading? Publish Date: 21/01/2018 Auther Name: Kamal Ben Younis Subject : Tunisian authorities managed to deal with the protests, which erupted in a number of cities and poor neighborhoods in the capital, after ³government announced an increase in value-added tax and social contributions in the budget.´However, the calm situation may be temporary if the authorities do not succeed in finding radical solutions to the problems, which angered youths. Those youth for seven years now have been threatening of a ³new revolution´that topples the new political elite whom they accuse of failing to achieve the main goals of their revolution which developed in January 2011.So where is Tunisia heading seven years after President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was toppled? Will the parties which triggered these new confrontations with the security forces succeed in launching what they call ³a second revolution´"Or will the opposite happen? Will the current political regime witness any substantial changes especially that it has been internationally supported for several reasons including that many western countries bet on the success of the ³Tunisian exception in transitioning towards democracy?´Separation from YouthsSome of those who oppose the government, mainly the opposition leaders of leftist, nationalist and Baathist groups that are involved in the Popular Front, which is led by Hamma Hammami and Ziad Lakhdhar, think that the increased protests against the governments, which have governed since January 2011, is proof that they cannot achieve the revolution¶s aims regarding jobs, dignity. That is because the government cannot liberate its measures from the International Monetary Fund¶s directions and from the agendas of financial lobbies that are involved in corruption, trafficking and imposing a capitalist policy.

  • 9Th October 2020
    9th October 2020 o19 HIGHLIGHTS • Worldwide cases of COVID-19 are now at 36,761,333 with deaths numbering 1,066,956 according to Worldometer. 27,673,862 people have so far recovered from the virus. • Official figures show that three times as many people have died from COVID-19 than from flu and pneumonia in England and Wales this year. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) also revealed that COVID-19 has proven deadlier than any flu and pneumonia season dating back to 1959 when ONS records began. • United States President Donald Trump returned to the White House on Wednesday 7th October, less than a week after testing positive for coronavirus. The President’s doctors have cleared him to resume public events from Saturday 10th October, with Mr Trump himself saying he feels “better than [he] did 20 years ago.” However, there are fears that the President is downplaying the severity of his illness as doctors revealed he was treated with a strong steroid and an experimental “antibody cocktail” which would not normally be used for milder cases. • Almost 16,000 positive COVID-19 test results went unreported in the UK last weekend due to a technical glitch. The error meant that those who tested positive were notified of their result, but people they had been in contact with were unable to be traced. The error has since been rectified and the missing records added to the Public Health England daily totals for the 3rd and 4th October and tracers are working through the contacts of the positive cases.

  • Thesis Final
    With A Little Help From My Friends - did the UK break the law in order to help the US prosecute two members of the ISIS group known as the Beatles? To what extent has the UK violated its domestic and international legal obligations by not seeking assurances against the death penalty? Joel Mitchell ANR: 576792 SNR: 2000134 July 2019 Supervisor: Dr Jan Hendrik Valgaeren Bachelor Thesis for Tilburg University College Bachelor’s in Liberal Arts and Sciences: Major in Law !1 Abstract This thesis seeks to ascertain the extent to which the UK has violated its domestic and international legal obligations by not seeking assurances against the death penalty in the case of Kotey and El Sheikh. This has been achieved through legal analysis of the relevant legislation and case law, with analysis of the black letter law being utilised in conjunction with teleological interpretation. The history of the case provides a framework of facts and actions to which practical analysis of the relevant law can be applied. State responsibility is established before consideration of the actions of the UK and the extent to which they contravened any obligations. The juxtaposition between the legal obligations and the political complexities of the case are then considered. This thesis finds that the UK violated both its domestic and international legal obligations by not seeking assurances in the case of Kotey and El Sheikh. !2 Abstract 2 1 Introduction 4 2 Methodology 5 3 History of the case 7 3.1 Pre-capture and detention 7 3.2 Post-capture and detention 8 3.2 Initiation
