  • The Human Rights Situation in Syria
    [ Back ] USIPeace Briefing Resurrecting the Wall of Fear: The Human Rights Situation in Syria By Robert Grace April 2008 Over the past several months, Syrian authorities have engaged in a harsh campaign of repression against leading dissidents and human rights activists. The crackdown, overshadowed by developments elsewhere in the region, has received scant media coverage in the U.S. and Europe. To shed light on recent developments in the Syrian political scene, USIP recently convened a public discussion on human rights in Syria, featuring the Institute’s Radwan Ziadeh, Mona Yacoubian, and Steven Heydemann, and Joe Stork of Human Rights Watch. This USIPeace Briefing summarizes their presentations and the subsequent discussion. USIP Senior Fellow Radwan Ziadeh's account of the current situation in Syria underscored that the regime often uses national security concerns as a pretext to silence all forms of dissent. Placing recent repression in historical context, Ziadeh noted that government repression of political and human rights activists has come in several waves in the past decade. While political activism briefly flourished after the death of longtime Syrian president Hafez al-Assad in June 2000, the so-called Damascus Spring ended within months, after a severe government crackdown. Another wave of detentions followed the May 2006 "Beirut-Damascus Declaration," which called for improved relations between Syria and neighboring Lebanon. (Lebanon is a sensitive subject for Syria, which claims historic title to the Mediterranean nation and has long played an From right to left: Panelists Mona Yacoubian, active role in Lebanon’s internecine political struggles.

Tinjauan Umum Mengenai Konflik Bersenjata Internasional dan Non- Internasional Pengertian konflik dalam Black’s Law Dictionary adalah permusuhan dengan menggunakan angkatan bersenjata yang terjadi antar bangsa-bangsa, negara-negara atau penguasa-penguasa, atau warga-warga dalam suatu bangsa atau satu negara.62 Konflik atau peperangan telah lahir sejak tempo dulu begitu juga dengan penggolongan konflik yang ada, pengertian konflik bersenjata internasional pada intinya melibatkan negara dengan negara sedangkan konflik bersenjata non-internasional melibatkan antara negara dengan pemberontak atau kelompok kombatan yang dianggap sebagai subyek hukum internasional. Subyek- subyek hukum internasional yang terlibat dalam konflik bersenjata internasional dan non-internasional menjadi fokus utama dalam penelitian ini agar ICC (International Criminal Court) memiliki legitimasi atau kewenangan untuk menuntut salah satu subyek hukum internasional yang melakukan kejahatan luar biasa atau extraordinary crime untuk dapat atau tidak untuk dituntut karena melakukan salah satu kejahatan yang diatur dalam Pasal 5 Statuta Roma. Status hukum subyek hukum internasional ini harus digolongkan dalam keterlibatannya dalam konflik bersenjata internasional ataupun konflik bersenjata non 62Henry Campbell Black, Op.Cit., hal. 1093. 46 internasional, Mengapa status hukum tersebut sangatlah penting? Karena bilamana suatu subyek hukum humaniter internasional melakukan suatu kejahatan luar biasa dalam konflik bersenjata internasional maka ia melanggar Protokol I 1977 Konvensi Jenewa 1949 dan si pelanggar dapat dikategorikan sebagai penjahat perang,63 Begitu juga suatu subyek hukum humaniter internasional yang melakukan kejahatan luar biasa dalam konflik bersenjata non internasional maka sama saja melanggar aturan dalam Protokol II dan dianggap sebagai penjahat perang.

    HOW SOON IS SAFE? IRAQI FORCE DEVELOPMENT AND ―CONDITIONS-BASED‖ US WITHDRAWALS Final Review Draft: February 5, 2009 Anthony H. Cordesman Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy And Adam Mausner [email protected] [email protected] Cordesman: Iraqi Forces and US Withdrawals 4/22/09 Page ii The Authors would like to thank the men and women of the Multinational Force–Iraq and Multinational Security Transition Command - Iraq for their generous contribution to our work. The Authors would also like to thank David Kasten for his research assistance. Cordesman: Iraqi Forces and US Withdrawals 4/22/09 Page iii Executive Summary The US and Iraq now face a transition period that may well be as challenging as defeating Al Qa‘ida in Iraq, the other elements of the insurgency, and the threat from militias like the Mahdi Army. Iraq has made progress in political accommodation and in improving security. No one, however, can yet be certain that Iraq will achieve a enough political accommodation to deal with its remaining internal problems, whether there will be a new surge of civil violence, or whether Iraq will face problems with its neighbors. Iran seeks to expand its influence, and Turkey will not tolerate a sanctuary for hostile Kurdish movements like the PKK. Arab support for Iraq remains weak, and Iraq‘s Arab neighbors fear both Shi‘ite and Iranian dominance of Iraq as well as a ―Shi‘ite crescent‖ that includes Syria and Lebanon.. Much will depend on the capabilities of Iraqi security forces (ISF) and their ability to deal with internal conflicts and external pressures.

  • SYRIA PEACE Talks UNCERTAIN
    INTERNATIONAL SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 2016 Uganda brings maids home from Saudi after abuse complaints KAMPALA: Ugandan officials are helping to bring back about 24 women working as domestic staff in Saudi Arabia after com- plaints about abuse that prompted a ban on sending Ugandans as housemaids to the Gulf state, a spokesman said yesterday. Seven women have returned to Uganda so far this week after the Ugandan Embassy in Saudi Arabia intervened when they left their employers complaining about abuse and mistreatment and moved into Saudi detention centres waiting to go home. Sheikh Rashid Yahya Ssemuddu, the Ugandan ambassador to Saudi Arabia, said the women were staying at a shelter operated by the Saudi Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs. The Ugandan government last week announced a ban on sending housemaids to Saudi Arabia after a barrage of com- plaints about workers being treated inhumanely and said the ban would remain until working conditions were “deemed fitting”. Ssemuddu said about 24 Ugandan women were at the shel- ter, some needing paperwork and airline tickets after complain- ing they had been held as slaves and their passports taken away. “We are in daily contact with them and efforts are underway to have the rest of the women return home in the coming few days,” he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

  • Daniel Gerlach Herrschaft Über Syrien
    Daniel Gerlach Herrschaft über Syrien Daniel Gerlach Herrschaft über Syrien Macht und Manipulation unter Assad Hinweis zur Transkription: Es kursieren Dutzende Arten und Weisen, arabische Namen in lateinische Buchstaben zu transkribieren: Allein für den Namen Muammar al-Gaddafi hat man in der internationalen Presse schon über 100 Varianten gezählt. Das vorliegende Buch verwendet keine wissen- schaftliche Umschrift, sondern eine, die es ermöglichen soll, die jeweiligen Personen rasch wiederzufinden: ob in Registern von Sachbüchern, im Internet oder auch auf den Sanktionslisten der Europäischen Union. Die Umschrift orientiert sich an einer geläufigen angelsächsischen Schreibweise oder daran, wie diese Personen ihren eigenen Namen üblicherweise transkribieren – zum Beispiel auf ihrer Visitenkarte. Ob sie vor ihren Familiennamen einen Artikel (al-) setzen oder nicht, ist dabei oft eine Frage des Klangs oder auch einfach Gewohnheitssache. Ein »j« wie in »Jamil« steht für ein weiches, stimmhaftes »dsch«, ein »q« klingt wie ein helvetisch-kehlig ausgesprochenes »k«. Arabische Begriffe, die inzwischen in den deutschen Sprachgebrauch übergegangen sind, werden entsprechend geschrieben, also z. B. Koran (nicht Qur’an) oder Dschihad.

  • Arab Reform Brief N° 06 April 2006
    ararrararrar Arab Reform Initiative Arab Reform Brief N° 06 April 2006 SYRIA: WHAT REFORMS WHILE A STORM IS BUILDING? Samir Aita * Syria underwent profound changes since 2005 in its regional and international positioning, as well as in its internal political situation. This policy brief discusses the domestic prospects for change and the potential for reforms and analyzes the impact of regional and international developments on the domestic situation. For the first time in decades, Syrian public opinion is critical of its authorities’ role in Lebanon, with the majority holding them responsible for the situation there. The economic situation has deteriorated to levels dangerous for social stability. Direct criticism of the President and his team by the business community is unprecedented. The opposition overcame its weaknesses and political and civil society movements signed the “Damascus Declaration” calling openly for peaceful “regime change”. The prospects for peaceful change depend on the findings of the UN investigation commission over the assassination of former Prime Minister of Lebanon Hariri, the ability of the opposition to propose a platform to demonstrate to the Syrian public that change will not lead to chaos; and the ability of the “power system” to respond intelligently to the combination of international pressures and internal challenges on the economic, social and political front. Syria has undergone considerable changes in It does not address in detail the regional and 2005 in its regional and international international perspectives, but analyses their positioning, as well as in its internal politics impact on the internal situation. and public opinion.

  • Syria's Alawites and the Politics of Sectarian Insecurity
    Syria’s Alawites and the Politics of Sectarian Insecurity: A Khaldunian Perspective* Leon Goldsmith** Abstract Since 2000 there has been varied academic analysis about the nature and direction of modern Syrian politics. The Syrian political crisis which began March 15, 2011 however, came as a surprise to most, and will no doubt spark a new round of debate about its causes and possible effects. One aspect that has been widely overlooked or misread is the critical role of the Syrian Alawite community in determining Syria’s future. Ongoing Alawite support to the Asad regime is by no means assured. The foundations of Alawite approval of the regime have steadily eroded during the second generation of Asad rule in a process, which resembles Ibn Khaldun’s theo- ry for the decline of group ‘asabiyya in the second stage of dynasties. The one resilient factor that ties the Alawite community to the Syrian regime however, is sectarian insecurity. The Asad regime requires, and promotes, Alawite insecurity in order to preserve its power. Nevertheless, there re- mains an opportunity, and a precedent, for Alawites to break free from this political deadlock and participate equally and openly in a ‘new’ Syria. Keywords: Syria, Alawites, Ibn Khaldun, “Asabiyya”, Sectarian Insecurity, “Arab Uprising”. Suriyeli Aleviler ve Mezhepsel Güvensizlik Politikaları: Halduncu Bir Bakış Özet 2000 yılından beri modern Suriye siyasetinin yapısına ve gidişatına ilişkin çeşitli akademik analizler yapılmaktadır.
