International relations and interagency cooperation are essential for the fight against crime, now and in the future. However, not only political and worldwide social changes, such as the liber- alisation of the market economy, have to be considered as causes of Organ- ised Crime (OC). Any comprehensive examination will also have to include aspects of socialisation and culture – aspects that demand attention especial- ly considering the extent of migration to Germany during the past years and the possible links between immigration and crime. However, it should be noted that not only economic and social influences contribute to the devel- opment of OC groups; the profit motive itself, which is behind many offenc- es committed in the field of economic crime, for example, can motivate criminals to band together. The „Serious and Organised Crime Threat Assessment (SOCTA)“1 pub- lished by Europol every four years makes clear how important it is not to underestimate the threat posed by Organised Crime. The 2017 report identi- fies some 5,000 OC groups with international links comprising more than 180 nationalities. On average, seven out of ten OC groups operate in more than three countries. Furthermore, the perpetrators not only operate at the international level but, in about 45 per cent of cases, their offences involve more than one area of crime. According to SOCTA, certain fields of crime will represent a threat in the future as well, due in particular to different conflicts occurring throughout the world. The smuggling of refugees and the various links to human trafficking observed during the refugee crisis, for instance, are decisive factors. In addition, trade in illicit goods triggered by the conflicts in Libya, Syria and Iraq is increasing, and will probably contin- ue to grow in the years to come. As can be seen

[email protected] Abstract We undertook qualitative interviews with 209 injecting drug users (primarily heroin) in three Russian cities: Moscow, Barnaul, and Volgograd. We explored drug injectors’ accounts of HIV and health risk. Policing practices and how these violate health and self emerged as a primary theme. Findings show that policing practices violate health and rights directly, but also indirectly, through the reproduction of social suffering. Extrajudicial policing practices produce fear and terror in the day- to-day lives of drug injectors, and ranged from the mundane (arrest without legal justification; the planting of evidence to expedite arrest or detainment; the extortion of money or drugs for police gain) to the extreme (physical violence as a means of facilitating ‘confession’ and as an act of ‘moral’ punishment without legal cause or rationale; the use of methods of ‘torture’; and rape).

Available online at http://classics.mit.edu//Homer/iliad.html The Iliad By Homer Translated by Samuel Butler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BOOK I Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another. And which of the gods was it that set them on to quarrel? It was the son of Jove and Leto; for he was angry with the king and sent a pestilence upon the host to plague the people, because the son of Atreus had dishonoured Chryses his priest. Now Chryses had come to the ships of the Achaeans to free his daughter, and had brought with him a great ransom: moreover he bore in his hand the sceptre of Apollo wreathed with a suppliant's wreath and he besought the Achaeans, but most of all the two sons of Atreus, who were their chiefs. "Sons of Atreus," he cried, "and all other Achaeans, may the gods who dwell in Olympus grant you to sack the city of Priam, and to reach your homes in safety; but free my daughter, and accept a ransom for her, in reverence to Apollo, son of Jove." On this the rest of the Achaeans with one voice were for respecting the priest and taking the ransom that he offered; but not so Agamemnon, who spoke fiercely to him and sent him roughly away.

Because there is no Muslim state authority to consult, local imams and Islamic leaders can resort to a community-led practice known as khulʿ (divorce initiated by the woman) to dissolve an Islamic marriage (nikāḥ) that is not recognized by civil authorities. In this article, which is the culmination of three years of fieldwork in Germany, I analyze and interpret the views and practices of two groups of religious actors - conservatives and pragmatists - towards khulʿ in cases of nikāḥ. I find that conservatives only permit a woman to divorce through khulʿ with her husband’s consent, whereas pragmatists use Muslim minority jurisprudence (fiqh al-aqalliyyāt al-Muslima) to argue that

    MAX PLANCK INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY WORKING PAPERS Working Paper No. 50 CHRIS HANN HISTORY AND ETHNICITY IN ANATOLIA Halle / Saale 2003 ISSN 1615-4568 Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, P.O. Box 110351, 06017 Halle / Saale, Phone: +49 (0)345 2927-0, Fax: +49 (0)345 2927-402, http://www.eth.mpg.de, e-mail: [email protected] 1 History and Ethnicity in Anatolia Chris Hann1 Abstract This paper begins by sketching a simplified intellectual context for the author’s recent monographic study of a region in north-east Turkey (Bellér-Hann and Hann 2000). The scope is then gradually widened. First, it is shown how more historically oriented research can provide insight into the social organization of the region in question, and in particular, into the nature of ethnic identity. Contrary to some common assumptions, ethnicity seems to have been de- emphasized in the later Ottoman period, when the people of this periphery were already well integrated into the state system. Second, again drawing on recent publications by other scholars, the paper reviews the question of ethnicity in Anatolia generally. The Turkish republic has often been criticized for its failure to recognize ethnic groups, and is likely to come under increasing pressure to recognize the rights of ‘cultural minorities’, e.g. in negotiations over EU entry. Within anthropology, however, there is no consensus as to how recognition of group diversity should be translated into political practice. Key terms such as ‘culture’ and ‘ethnicity’ have become unstable. According to Barth’s influential discussion (1969), ethnicity classifies a person ‘in terms of his basic, most general identity’.

He graduated from the University of Munich in 1970 when he successfully defended his dissertation Linguis- tische Analyse des arabischen Dialekts der Mhallamiye in der Provinz Mardin (Südost- türkei) (Linguistic Analysis of the Arabic Dialect of Mhallami in Mardin Province, South- ern Turkey), see 1971a. Between 1972 and 1977, he worked as a research assistant at the Institute of General and Indo-European Linguistics at the University of Munich. Here he habilitated in 1975 in the field of general linguistics with his work on the morphoph- onology of the Galab language (also known as Daasanach; see 1974a), and already in 1977 he was appointed a full professor of general and typological linguistics. In the 1970s, he travelled to Ethiopia and Kenya where he performed field research on the languages Quimant, Daasanach (Galab), Boni, Dullay and Burji. In the 1980s, he studied the Albanian dialects of Northern Greece where he gained both material for a unique monograph (1991a) and a wife.

  • UN POLICE and CONFLICT PREVENTION Marina Caparini*
    SIPRI Discussion Paper June 2018 UN POLICE AND CONFLICT PREVENTION marina caparini* This paper connects the sustaining peace agenda with police in UN peace operations. It describes the three categories of conflict prevention implemented in peace operations, with a particular focus on the contribution of the police component of peace operations to conflict prevention. It suggests that the UN Police (UNPOL) play a critical role in conflict prevention through: (a) direct operational actions aimed at mediating and defusing tensions and deterring violence; (b) structural prevention linked to capacity-building activities of mentoring, training and advising host state police, as well as supporting the development of more effective, accountable and legitimate law enforcement institutions; and (c) systemic prevention through support for international and regional norms and mechanisms to combat transnational organized crime, illicit arms flows and human trafficking. The paper also makes recommendations on how the police role in conflict prevention could be further developed. I. Conflict prevention is more important than ever Since 2010, there has been a resurgence in violent conflict across the world and a marked increase in the number of armed conflicts.1 Conflicts have also become more complex, fragmented and protracted. By the end of 2016, over 65 million people had been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence, repression or disaster—the highest level recorded since World War II. 2 Violent conflict destroys lives, ruptures societies, damages institutions and infrastructure and, as is now well known, sets back development by decades.3 At the same time, we are witnessing a reinvigorated worldwide attempt to tackle poverty, exclusion, injustice and conflict through the commitment of the world’s states to meeting the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
