  • 1 40Th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Diplomatic
    40th Anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relations between the People’s Republic of China and Belgium Foreword The 25 th October 1971 being an historical moment for both Belgium and China, the Egmont Institute and the Belgian Chinese Chamber of Commerce have joined forces to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries. Initially we were considering a formal occasion, but then opted for a more interactive commemoration, a conference followed by an open Q&A session with the audience, which proved to be very interesting as the members of our organizations took the opportunity to raise questions related to the economic and financial developments in China. As a result, we have been able to welcome H.E. Liao Liqiang , Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China in Belgium and H.E. Steven Vanackere , Minister of foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Belgium for that commemoration. It was opened by Viscount Davignon , chairman of the Egmont Institute, who gave some insight into the negotiation process which led to the opening of the diplomatic relations. Another important testimony was the presentation of H.E. honorary Ambassador Patrick Nothomb , who was the first Belgian Chargé d’affaires a.i. in China. Furthermore, on the eve of the 9 th Belgian Economic and trade mission led by H.R.H. Prince Philippe to China, the choice of the conference topic was obvious: “Forty years on, how has China Changed and how have relations with Belgium and Europe evolved? ” Our key note speaker was Jonathan Fenby , a respected and knowledgeable British journalist, specialized on China issues.

  • Introduction to Timor Loro Sae 500 Years (1999: 11-29)
    Introduction to Timor Loro Sae 500 Years (1999: 11-29) ...we have never been aware as we now are of how oddly hybrid historical and cultural experiences are, of how they partake of many often contradictory experiences and domains, cross national boundaries, defy the police action of simple dogma and loud patriotism. Far from being unitary or monolithic or autonomous things, cultures actually assume more ‘foreign elements, alterities, differences, than they consciously exclude (Edward Said 1994). Since the island of Timor was first visited by Portuguese navigators, a mere twenty or so years after Columbus crossed the Atlantic ocean in 1492, and within years of the passage of the first caravels through the Straits of Malacca, Portugal has been the dominant external influence, at least on the eastern part of the island. Equally, many Timorese share at least part Portuguese ancestry while many more have adopted the religion of their former colonizer. The exception to this fact of life was the brief but destructive occupation of Timor by Japan (and Australia) during the Pacific War, and the near-genocidal impact of the Indonesian military invasion and annexation of the half-island commencing in 1975-76. Even so, as continuing acts of resistance to this occupation reveal, the Timorese have not easily acquiesced in their dominance by outsiders, now or in the past. No less important, with the reversion of Macau to Chinese sovereignty in 1999, East Timor along with, perhaps, Western Sahara and New Caledonia remains the major case of unrequited decolonization left in the world. As a work of historical sociology, this book seeks to explain the world-historical incorporation of Timor over long time, especially between the poles of colonial domination on the one hand, and accommodation and resistance, on the other.

  • Functions of Gastronomic Images in the Novel Ni Ève, Ni Adam By
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 557 Proceedings of the International Conference on New Trends in Languages, Literature and Social Communications (ICNTLLSC 2021) Functions of Gastronomic Images in the N ovel Ni Ève, Ni Adam by Amélie Nothomb Tetiana Cherkashyna1,* Simona Mercantini1 Mariia Bieliavska1 Anna Satanovska1 1 Department of Roman Philology and Translation, V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, Ukraine *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The article analyses problems of intercultural communication through the prism of gastronomic images. The study is based on the novel Ni Ève, ni Adam by the Modern French-speaking Belgian writer Amélie Nothomb. This novel is part of the autobiographical hypertext of the writer, contains recognizable autobiographems, it is the artistic reproduction of an episode in her real life. Most of the narrated episodes take place in Japan. The main plot is built upon the love story between a French-speaking Belgian girl and a Japanese boy. The main characters of the novel appear as atypical representatives of their national traditions; the girl of Belgian origins is in love with Japan and its culture, as well as the Japanese man prefers European traditions. Through their tastes these two main characters get to know each other, as well as their culture, tradition and mindsets. Japanese gastronomic discourse is presented more broadly than the Belgian one. It is represented by the names and descriptions of national Japanese dishes, drinks, Japanese culinary traditions, rituals. Belgian gastronomic discourse is almost absent in the novel, because it fits into a broader European discourse, represented mainly by European international dishes.

Yet global counter-terrorism measures have stretched to the limit, and broken, the most basic principles of the rule of law and interna- LEGAL COMMENTARY TO THE tional law, especially international human rights law and international humanitarian law. In the name of national security and the fight against terrorism, many governments try to justify the use of torture, enforced disappearance, secret detentions, extrajudicial execu- ICJ BERLIN DECLARATION tions and indiscriminate killing of civilians. The ICJ condemns terrorism and reaffirms that all states have an obligation to take effec- tive measures against acts of terrorism. However, from long experience, the ICJ sees no conflict between the international legal duty of states to protect people threatened by ter- COUNTER-TERRORISM, HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE RULE OF LAW rorism and their responsibility to uphold the rule of law and human rights. On the contrary, both duties form part of a seamless web of protection incumbent upon States. Human rights law has been crafted by States and already gives governments a reasonable margin of flexibility to combat terrorism without contravening human rights and humanitarian legal obligations. In August 2004 the ICJ brought its network of jurists from around the world to Berlin, for the 2004 Biennial Conference. The meeting concluded with the 160 jurists adopting the ICJ Declaration on Upholding Human Rights and the Rule of Law in Combating Terrorism (Berlin Declaration).
