I am particularly concerned about the toll that acts of terrorism continue to take on ordinary Iraqi people. Iraq, and the international community must do more to ensure that the victims of these violations are given appropriate care and protection - and that any individual who has perpetrated crimes or violations is held accountable according to law.” − Mr. Ján Kubiš Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General in Iraq, 12 June 2015, Baghdad “Civilians continue to be the primary victims of the ongoing armed conflict in Iraq - and are being subjected to human rights violations and abuses on a daily basis, particularly at the hands of the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Ensuring accountability for these crimes and violations will be paramount if the Government is to ensure justice for the victims and is to restore trust between communities.

Acknowledgements We would like to express our gratitude to the many people who helped us throughout the development, research, and drafting of this report. Our field work in Iraq would not have been possible without the help of Sherzad Khidhir. His willingness to connect us with in-country stakeholders significantly contributed to the breadth of our interviews. Those interviews were made possible by our fantastic translators, Lezan, Ehsan, and Younis, who ensured that we could capture critical information and the nuance of discussions. We also greatly appreciated the willingness of U.S. State Department officials, the soldiers of Operation Inherent Resolve, and our many other interview participants to provide us with their time and insights. Thanks to their assistance, we were able to gain a better grasp of this immensely complex topic. Throughout our research, we benefitted from consultations with numerous Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) faculty, as well as with individuals from the larger Harvard community. We would especially like to thank Harvard Business School Professor Kristin Fabbe and Razzaq al-Saiedi from the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative who both provided critical support to our project.

    IJIA 4 (2) pp. 365–398 Intellect Limited 2015 International Journal of Islamic Architecture Volume 4 Number 2 © 2015 Intellect Ltd Article. English language. doi: 10.1386/ijia.4.2.365_1 ŁUKASZ STANEK University of Manchester Mobilities of Architecture in the Global Cold War: From Socialist Poland to Kuwait and Back Abstract Keywords This article discusses the contribution of professionals from socialist countries to Gulf architecture architecture and urban planning in Kuwait in the final two decades of the Cold War. socialist Poland In so doing, it historicizes the accelerating circulation of labour, building materials, architectural discourses, images, and affects facilitated by world-wide, regional and local networks. globalization By focusing on a group of Polish architects, this article shows how their work in postmodernism Kuwait in the 1970s and 1980s responded to the disenchantment with architecture knowledge transfer and urbanization processes of the preceding two decades, felt as much in the Gulf as architectural labour in socialist Poland. In Kuwait, this disenchantment was expressed by a turn towards images, ways of use, and patterns of movement referring to ‘traditional’ urbanism, reinforced by Western debates in postmodernism and often at odds with the social realities of Kuwaiti urbanization. Rather than considering this shift as an architec- tural ‘mediation’ between (global) technology and (local) culture, this article shows how it was facilitated by re-contextualized expert systems, such as construction tech- nologies or Computer Aided Design software (CAD), and also by the specific portable ‘profile’ of experts from socialist countries. By showing the multilateral knowledge flows of the period between Eastern Europe and the Gulf, this article challenges diffusionist notions of architecture’s globalization as ‘Westernization’ and reconcep- tualizes the genealogy of architectural practices as these became world-wide.

This campaign is a partnership between the Human Line Organization and the Social Work Society in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior and other international organizations. “One Roof” Campaign works toward building a positive relationship between the employer and domestic worker that is governed by justice and serves to protect the rights and dignity of both parties. The campaign aims to raise awareness about domestic workers’ rights as stated in Kuwaiti laws to reduce conflict and problems that may arise due to the lack of awareness of laws that regulate the work of domestic workers in Kuwait. “One Roof” also seeks to emphasize that domestic work is an occupation that should be regulated by laws and procedures. About the Legal Guide While the relationship between the employer and domestic worker in Kuwait is successful and effective in most cases, it is still important for domestic workers to be knowledgeable of their legal rights and responsibilities in order to be familiar with the rules that regulate their work and be able to demand their rights in case they were violated.
