Book excerpt: Clearing landmines, rehabilitating and integrating of excombatants, rebuilding the infrastructure, coordinating aid sources—these are just some of the issues confronting the Bank in post-conflict reconstruction. The explosion of civil conflicts in the post-Cold War world has tested the World Bank's ability to address unprecedented devastation of human and social capital.This study covers post-conflict reconstruction in nine countries, assessing relevant, recent Bank experience. It also presents case-studies for ongoing and future operations, which analyze: 1. the Bank's main strengths or comparative advantages; 2. its partnership with other donors, international organizations, and NGOs; 3. its role in reconstruction strategy and damage and needs assessment; 4. its role in rebuilding the economy and institutions of governance; 5. its management of resources and processes; 6. implications for monitoring and evaluation.

Download or read book PROMOTION DE LA SANTE ET AUTONOMISATION DANS LE CONTEXTE AFRICAIN written by David HouŽto and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-02-26 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le terme promotion de la santé en Afrique, près de 30 ans après l'adoption de la Charte d'Ottawa, continue d'avoir des connotations complètement hors du sens que lui confère cette charte. Cela n'est pas étonnant quand on sait que la notion de santé dans ce contexte africain équivaut à la lutte contre la maladie à travers les soins de santé dispensés par des professionnels de la santé dans des formations sanitaires et les hôpitaux. L'évolution que connait le continent depuis quelques décennies est de donner un peu plus de place à la communauté à travers les relais communautaires dans une participation communautaire vidée de son contenu, car le pouvoir n'est jamais passé entre les mains des communautés.C'est au vu de tout ceci que le présent ouvrage à sa raison d'être pour expliquer les fondements de l'autonomisation communautaire et de la promotion de la santé avec leur importance pour la région africaine en proie aux mauvais indicateurs de santé comparativement aux autres régions du monde.

Download or read book Digital Justice written by Ethan Katsh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving access to justice has been an ongoing process, and on-demand justice should be a natural part of our increasingly on-demand society. What can we do for example when Facebook blocks our account, we're harassed on Twitter, discover that our credit report contains errors, or receive a negative review on Airbnb? How do we effectively resolve these and other such issues? Digital Justice introduces the reader to new technological tools to resolve and prevent disputes bringing dispute resolution to cyberspace, where those who would never look to a court for assistance can find help for instance via a smartphone. The authors focus particular attention on five areas that have seen great innovation as well as large volumes of disputes: ecommerce, healthcare, social media, labor, and the courts. As conflicts escalate with the increase in innovation, the authors emphasize the need for new dispute resolution processes and new ways to avoid disputes, something that has been ignored by those seeking to improve access to justice in the past.

Download or read book Historiography in Saudi Arabia written by Jörg Matthias Determann and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-25 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saudi Arabia is generally and justifiably viewed as a country with the fewest democratic institutions and the weakest traditions of pluralism in the world. It is therefore surprising to learn that at least in one corner of the Saudi world, there is a plurality voices. Jörg Matthias Determann brings this element to light by analysing an important field of cultural activity in Saudi Arabia: historical writing. By exploring the emergence of a plurality of historical narratives in the absence of formal political pluralism, Determann seeks to paint a more nuanced picture of Saudi Arabia than has previously been drawn. Since the 1920s local, tribal, Shi'i and dynastic histories have contributed to a growing plurality of narratives, diverging from and contesting the histories which focus on the royal family. Instead, they have emphasized the communities' historical independence from the House of Saud or asserting the communities' importance in Saudi national history. In addition to this, during the 1970s, distinct social and economic histories began to be developed, new narratives which have described important historical events evolving from wider social and economic factors rather than resulting from the actions of individual rulers or communities. Paradoxically, this happened because of the expansion of the Saudi state, including state-provision of mass education. A variety of previously illiterate and relatively poor sections of Saudi society, including former Bedouin, were thus empowered to produce histories which, while conformist for the most part, also provided a vehicle for dissenting voices. Furthermore, Determann argues that this proliferation of alternative histories is also due to globalizing processes, such as the spread of the internet. It is through this phenomenon that narrative plurality has been facilitated, by putting Saudi historians in contact with different ideologies, methodologies and source material from abroad. In challenging the widely-held perception of Saudi Arabia as an irredeemably closed and monolithic society, Historiography in Saudi Arabia provides a deeper understanding of modern Arab historiography, the Saudi state, and education and scholarship in the Middle East.

Download or read book Modes alternatifs de r glement des conflits written by Olivier Caprasse and published by Anthemis. This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Réflexion sur la recherche de la voie procédurale la plus appropriée. Plus que jamais, la recherche de la voie procédurale la plus appropriée est au cœur des préoccupations des justiciables, de leurs conseils, des juges et du législateur. On pense ainsi aux nombreuses initiatives prises par différents tribunaux et barreaux et aux réformes législatives actuellement en discussion. Cet ouvrage de la CUP devrait permettre au lecteur de faire le point sur ce que sont devenus certains modes alternatifs de règlement des conflits ainsi que sur ce qu’ils pourraient devenir, en faisant en tout cas le tour des possibilités qu’ils offrent, qu’il s’agisse de l’arbitrage, de la médiation, de la tierce décision obligatoire ou encore du droit collaboratif. Découvrez un ouvrage qui se propose de faire le point sur ce que sont devenus certains modes alternatifs de règlement des conflits. EXTRAIT L’O.V.B. et avocats.be ont sollicité le retrait de cette disposition qui paraît contraire au libre choix de l’avocat, mais également au caractère volontaire des modes alternatifs, qui constitue, pour nous, l’un des fondements essentiels de leur mise en œuvre. Imposer une méthode qui ne recueille pas l’assentiment des parties nous paraît contre-productif, a fortiori lorsqu’il s’agit de mode alternatif. Il nous semble indispensable qu’avant de suggérer – voire d’imposer – tel ou tel mode alternatif, les magistrats recentrent le débat sur l’intérêt des justiciables, sur l’écoute et la compréhension de leurs besoins, ce qui implique une analyse précise de la demande formulée, sans vouloir leur imposer un mode amiable de résolution pour leur litige. Certaines personnes auront en effet toujours besoin de s’en remettre au juge pour trancher leur différend. Les justiciables ne sont pas « tous coulés dans le même moule » et la possibilité ouverte à ceux-ci de pouvoir choisir la voie judiciaire ou l’un des modes alternatifs, pour régler le conflit auquel ils sont confrontés, constitue assurément un atout. Il n’existe pas une seule et unique manière de résoudre une situation. Vouloir contraindre et forcer les personnes à entreprendre un mode amiable de règlement de leur litige, à l’encontre de leur volonté, nous paraît une attitude rigide et peu soucieuse des besoins fondamentaux des personnes en présence, alors que l’essence même des modes alternatifs est précisément d’offrir une large place à l’écoute de ceux-ci. A PROPOS DES AUTEURS Sous la direction de Olivier Caprasse, de nombreux auteurs ont participé à l'élaboration de cet ouvrage : Anne-Marie Boudart, Benoît Kohl, Pierre-Paul Renson, Alexandre Rigolet et Carine Vander Stock.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modes alternatifs ou amiables ? Modes de règlement ou de résolution ? Des conflits ou des litiges ? L'arbitrage en fait-il partie ? La médiation est-ce autre chose que la conciliation, ou n'en est-elle qu'une modalité particulière ? Les MARC participent-ils de la justice ou s'en distinguent-ils ? Nous viennent-ils d'Amérique du Nord comme on le prétend souvent ? Les MARC soulèvent bien des questions auxquelles ce livre tente d'apporter des réponses éclairantes, en remettant en cause quelques idées préconçues. Ni guide pratique, ni ouvrage théorique, s'adressant aux juristes comme aux non-juristes, aux juristes débutants comme aux juristes chevronnés, ce livre présente successivement la notion, la typologie et l'économie des modes alternatifs de règlement des conflits.

Download or read book The New Regulatory Framework for Consumer Dispute Resolution written by Pablo Cortés and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-24 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumer out-of-court redress in the European Union is experiencing a significant transformation; indeed the current changes are the most important that have occurred in the history of the EU. This is due to the recent implementation of the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Directive 2013/11/EU and the Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Regulation (EU) 2013/524. The Directive ensures the availability of quality ADR schemes and sets information obligations on businesses, and the Regulation enables the resolution of consumer disputes through a pan European ODR platform. The New Regulatory Framework for Consumer Dispute Resolution examines the impact of the new EU law in the field of consumer redress. Part I of the volume examines the new European legal framework and the main methods of consumer redress, including mediation, arbitration, and ombudsman schemes. Part II analyses the implementation of the ADR Directive in nine Member States with very different legal cultures in consumer redress, namely: Belgium, Ireland, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and the UK, as well as the distinct approach taken in the US. Part III evaluates new trends in consumer ADR (CDR) by identifying best practices and looking at future trends in the field. In particular, it offers a vision of the future of CDR which is more than a mere dispute resolution tool, it poses a model on dispute system design for CDR, it examines the challenges of cross-border disputes, it proposes a strategy to promote mediation, and it identifies good practices of CDR and collective redress. The book concludes by calling for the mandatory participation of traders in CDR.
