  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE April 03, 2006 Paper Awaits Court Decision on Guantanamo Detainee By HoldtheFrontPage staff The Argus in Brighton is waiting to hear if its campaign for a fair trial for a local man detained at Guantanamo Bay has been successful. The paper is calling on the Government to intervene in the case of Omar Deghayes, and a judicial review has been held to determine whether Foreign Secretary Jack Straw should be ordered to seek his release. Omar's lawyers argued that the Government has a legal and moral responsibility to step in, but it disagrees as he is not a British citizen. Judgement has been reserved as a decision is expected this week. The Argus took up Omar's fight last year, and delivered a dossier to Home Secretary Charles Clarke. He and his family were granted asylum by the UK Government nearly 20 years ago and his home was in Saltdean, Brighton. The dossier included a letter from The Argus' editor Michael Beard, who said: "We believe Mr Deghayes' continued incarceration by the US breaches Article 10 of the Universal Declaration of the Human Rights which states: Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him. "We therefore believe the Government has a duty to lobby the US to charge Mr Deghayes and put him on trial, in accordance with international law, or free him immediately." http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?id=13200 SOURCE: Holdthefrontpage.co.uk Omar Khadr Faces New Hearing BETH GORHAM CANADIAN PRESS Canadian teenager Omar Khadr will once again appear at an American military tribunal this week, even as the U.S.

Just as the state may signify the legal and institutional structures that delimit a certain territory and provide and enforce the obligations and prerogatives of citizenship, the state can equally serve to expel and suspend modes of legal protection and obligation for some (Butler and Spivak, 2007).

The national territory consists of the whole island of Ireland, its islands and the territorial seas. Enacted by the People 1st July, 1937 In operation as from 29th December, 1937 Constitution of Ireland Evin Daly Celtic Tiger Page 1 The sun rose gently over the oily calm waters of Dublin Bay. Though it was mid-summer, the promise of a warm day was spoiled by a chill in the breeze. The River Liffey, the tidal artery that splits the ancient city in half, was swollen; its banks brimming to the top of its granite walls, the result of the combination of a high and Spring tide. The river’s dark waters gurgled as they mixed with the briny expanse of Dublin harbor, temporarily shielded from the open waters of the Irish Sea by the expansive stone arms of the protective Bull Walls. The morning light reflected in an orange glow off the eastern facing windows of the city buildings. The city was quiet, its inhabitants still in their slumber on this Sunday morning. Church bells pealed intermittently through the silence, their chimes marking the passage of time — it was too early for the first mass bell in this predominantly Catholic country. Dublin is a city in the throes of change; from a remote city situated on the fringe of continental Europe, into a truly European capital.

    MILITARY-AGE MALES IN U.S COUNTERINSURGENCY AND DRONE WARFARE Sarah Shoker MILITARY-AGE MALES IN U.S COUNTERINSURGENCY AND DRONE WARFARE By SARAH SHOKER, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Sarah Shoker, April 2018 Ph.D. Thesis-S. Shoker; McMaster University-Political Science McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY(2018) Department of Political Science TITLE: Military-Age Males in U.S Counterinsurgency and Drone Warfare AUTHOR: Sarah Shoker, B.A., M.A (University of Saskatchewan) SUPERVISOR: Dr. J. Marshall Beier NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 146 i Ph.D. Thesis-S. Shoker; McMaster University-Political Science Abstract In 2012, The New York Times reported that the Obama Administration excluded all Military-Age Males from the collateral damage count in areas where the U.S engaged in drone warfare/ Though the Military-Age Male (MAM) category references the draft, the term is applied to all boys and men, including civilians, who are aged sixteen years and older. The Military-Aged Male category is not synonymous with 'combatant,' but marks boys and men for differentiated treatment in conflict zones, to the point where male bodies are used as a shorthand for 'combatant' when assessing the collateral damage count. This dissertation seeks to answer an empirical puzzle. The U.S Army/Marine Corps Counter- Insurgency Field Manual (2006), a document which emerged from the American intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan, emphasizes that militants vie for the civilian population's support as a way to win the war against a stronger and better-resourced military force.
