New England Journal of Public Policy The Growth of ISIS Extremism in Southeast Asia: Its Ideological and Cognitive Features—and Possible Policy Responses Kumar Ramakrishna S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore This article examines the radicalization of young Southeast Asians into the violent extremism that characterizes the notorious Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). After situating ISIS within its wider and older Al Qaeda Islamist ideological milieu, the article sketches out the historical landscape of violent Islamist extremism in Southeast Asia. There it focuses on the Al Qaeda-affiliated, Indonesian-based but transnational Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) network, revealing how the emergence of ISIS has impacted JI’s evolutionary trajectory. -
Justice-Seeking and Loot-Seeking in Civil War
Public Disclosure Authorized Justice-Seeking and Loot-Seeking in Civil War Paul Collier Public Disclosure Authorized The World Bank Anke Hoeffler CSAE, Oxford This Draft: February 17th, 1999 Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized The findings, interpretations, and conclusions expressed in this paper are entirely those of the authors. They do not necessarily represent the views of the World Bank, its Executive Directors, or the countries they represent. Justice-Seeking and Loot-Seeking in Civil War 1. Introduction Civil war is both a human tragedy and a major impediment to development. Most of the world’s poorest countries are experiencing or have recently experienced such conflict. We use a comprehensive data set to identify its causes. We group potential causes into two categories: the quest for `justice’ and the quest for `loot’. Clearly, one motivation in rebellion is the alleviation of grievances, real or perceived. Most rebellions are ostensibly in pursuit of a `cause’. However, many rebellions also appear to be linked to the capture of resources: diamonds in Angola and Sierra Leone, drugs in Colombia, and timber in Cambodia. In some cases these two motivations become blurred: for example, in Colombia groups which initially claimed ideological motivation have transmuted into drug baronies. In Section 2 we develop a simple rational choice model of loot-motivated rebellion in which private costs are equated with private benefits, and propose empirically measurable proxies for its key variables. In Section 3 we turn to the more complex phenomenon of justice-motivated rebellions, distinguishing between the demand for justice, motivated by a variety of grievances, and the supply of justice determined by both private costs and the difficulties of collective action. -

Erosion of the Rule of Law as a Basis for Command Responsibility under International Humanitarian Law Amy H. McCarthy Abstract Many examples of modern war crimes exhibit a strong link between the institutional breakdown of the rule of law and subsequent commission of humanitarian abuses by service members. Unchecked misconduct, specifically including dehumanizing acts, tends to foster a climate where war crimes are likely to occur. Does the law adequately account for this common thread? This article examines the doctrine of command responsibility in the context of a superior’s failure to maintain discipline among troops, and resulting criminal culpability for violations of the law of armed conflict. While customary international law, as applied by modern ad hoc tribunals, contemplates a wide range of misconduct that may trigger a commander’s affirmative duty to prevent future abuses by subordinates, U.S. -

Protecting against Plunder The United States and the International Efforts against Looting of Antiquities Asif Efrat ∗∗∗ Word Count: 21,297 Abstract. In 1970 UNESCO adopted a convention intended to stem the flow of looted antiquities from developing countries to collections in art-importing countries. The majority of art-importing countries, including Britain, Germany, and Japan, refused to join the Convention. Contrary to other art-importing countries, and reversing its own traditionally-liberal policy, the United States accepted the international regulation of antiquities and joined the UNESCO Convention. The article seeks to explain why the United States chose to establish controls on antiquities, to the benefit of foreign countries facing archaeological plunder and to the detriment of the US art market. -
War Crimes in the Philippines During WWII Cecilia Gaerlan
War Crimes in the Philippines during WWII Cecilia Gaerlan When one talks about war crimes in the Pacific, the Rape of Nanking instantly comes to mind.Although Japan signed the 1929 Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War, it did not ratify it, partly due to the political turmoil going on in Japan during that time period.1 The massacre of prisoners-of-war and civilians took place all over countries occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army long before the outbreak of WWII using the same methodology of terror and bestiality. The war crimes during WWII in the Philippines described in this paper include those that occurred during the administration of General Masaharu Homma (December 22, 1941, to August 1942) and General Tomoyuki Yamashita (October 8, 1944, to September 3, 1945). Both commanders were executed in the Philippines in 1946. Origins of Methodology After the inauguration of the state of Manchukuo (Manchuria) on March 9, 1932, steps were made to counter the resistance by the Chinese Volunteer Armies that were active in areas around Mukden, Haisheng, and Yingkow.2 After fighting broke in Mukden on August 8, 1932, Imperial Japanese Army Vice Minister of War General Kumiaki Koiso (later convicted as a war criminal) was appointed Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army (previously Chief of Military Affairs Bureau from January 8, 1930, to February 29, 1932).3 Shortly thereafter, General Koiso issued a directive on the treatment of Chinese troops as well as inhabitants of cities and towns in retaliation for actual or supposed aid rendered to Chinese troops.4 This directive came under the plan for the economic “Co-existence and co-prosperity” of Japan and Manchukuo.5 The two countries would form one economic bloc. -

Law As a Mean of International Cooperation for the Protection of Cultural Heritage
Law as a mean of International cooperation for the protection of Cultural Heritage With regards to the Normative Protection of Cultural Property, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was mandated in 1945, right after its creation. Legal measures were taken relatively quickly considering that nine years after its creation, the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the event of Armed Conflicts was adopted after the convocation of an Intergovernmental Conference. The philosophical background of this Convention resides in the preamble, recognizing that “cultural property has suffered grave damage during recent armed conflicts and that, by reason of the developments in the technique of warfare, it is in increasing danger of destruction”. Moreover, the minds behind the Convention addressed the question of Heritage ownership or non-ownership by stating that “damage to cultural property belonging to any people whatsoever means damage to the cultural heritage of all mankind, since each people makes its contribution to the culture of the world”. Whereas the 1954 Convention has obviously been influenced by the atrocities of the war, the 1970 Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership adopted fifteen years later and applicable in time of peace reveals the consequences of the War regarding Cultural Heritage. Indeed, the controversies over the misappropriation, restitution and traffic of art that occurred after the WWII urged for the adoption of a new Convention. Regarding the past or ongoing traffic of Culture, the 1954 and 1970 Conventions are often complementary. As it happened during WWII and as it is happening today with the looting of historical sites by non-state actors in Iraq and Syria, the illicit acquisition process in war time, scrutinized under the scope of the Hague Convention, is followed by years of movement out of war zones, thus falling under the scrutiny of the 1970 Convention. -
