Download or read book The Great African War written by Filip Reyntjens and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-24 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines a decade-long period of instability, violence and state decay in Central Africa from 1996, when the war started, to 2006, when elections formally ended the political transition in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A unique combination of circumstances explain the unravelling of the conflicts: the collapsed Zairian/Congolese state; the continuation of the Rwandan civil war across borders; the shifting alliances in the region; the politics of identity in Rwanda, Burundi and eastern DRC; the ineptitude of the international community; and the emergence of privatized and criminalized public spaces and economies, linked to the global economy, but largely disconnected from the state - on whose territory the "entrepreneurs of insecurity" function. As a complement to the existing literature, this book seeks to provide an in-depth analysis of concurrent developments in Zaire/DRC, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda in African and international contexts. By adopting a non-chronological approach, it attempts to show the dynamics of the inter-relationships between these realms and offers a toolkit for understanding the past and future of Central Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il y a plusieurs décennies, l'ONU et ses agences spécialisées ont officiellement reconnu le droit à l'éducation dans le domaine des droits de l'homme, c'est-à-dire le droit qu'ont les citoyens d'être informés sur les droits et les libertés inclus dans les traités des droits de l'homme ratifiés dans leurs pays. [...] Les connaissances et la disposition à connaître et à soutenir ses droits et ceux d'autrui de façon responsable commencent tôt dans la vie: dans nos familles, dans nos écoles et au sein de notre communauté. [...] Le traitement de thèmes liés aux droits de l'homme devrait avoir lieu dans les établissements scolaires [...] Cette source d'apprentissage promet d'être une contribution majeure aux efforts d'EDH (Éducation aux droits de l'homme) au sein des écoles secondaires de la République démocratique du Congo. Elle présente une interprétation compréhensive couvrant un grand nombre de domaines clés des droits de l'homme, tandis qu'elle porte une attention spéciale aux groupes vulnérables qui ont le plus besoin d'être protégés. Ces normes internationales des droits de l'homme sont complétées par des exemples tirés de la loi nationale congolaise et de la vie au quotidien. Une fois munis de cette source, les enseignants congolais ont l'opportunité d'être mieux éduqués sur le contenu des droits de l'homme et d'entreprendre la tâche d'aider leurs élèves à comprendre et à chérir les principes des droits de l'homme [...] Nous encourageons les enseignants congolais à utiliser cette source autant que possible en conjonction avec les méthodes interactives et l'enseignement centré sur l'élève. Felisa Tibbitts, Directrice de "Human Rights Education Associates"

Download or read book Droit congolais des droits de l homme written by Nkoy-ea-Loongya Ngondankoy and published by Bibliothèque de droit africain. This book was released on 2004 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans cet ouvrage pionnier, l'auteur propose de dégager les sources du Droit congolais des droits de l'homme, d'examiner les droits et libertés garantis au Congo et, enfin, de réfléchir sur les mesures de sauvegarde des droits des Congolais (et de toute personne placée sous la juridiction de la République Démocratique du Congo). Dans la première partie, l'auteur présente d'une part ce qu'il appelle "l'héritage ancien ou le passé congolais des droits de l'homme" et d'autre part, les sources juridiques proprement dites (d'origine nationale et internationale) encore en vigueur ou non en République Démocratique du Congo. La deuxième partie consiste en un examen sélectif mais approfondi des principaux droits qui, dans les différentes branches du Droit congolais, sont reconnus ou aménagés en faveur des hommes et du peuple. Le Droit congolais des droits de l'homme apparaît ainsi comme une discipline carrefour qui justifie la méthode principale suivie par l'auteur : l'interdisciplinarité. C'est essentiellement la question de la "justiciabilité" des droits de l'homme, telle qu'elle est abordée ici, qui constitue un apport scientifique notable de l'auteur. Et c'est cette problématique qui, dans la troisième partie du livre, le conduit à préférer, parmi les mécanismes existants au Congo ou ailleurs, les mécanismes dits de "protection" des droits de l'homme. Pour lui, l'instauration d'un Ordre juridictionnel spécial des droits de l'homme est nécessaire. Il serait bâti sur le modèle de l'Ordre judiciaire classique mais s'en différencierait tant par le contenu de sa mission, la philosophie de base de ses acteurs, que par le profil scientifique et public des "magistrats des droits de l'homme"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand the genocide and other dramatic events of Rwanda’s recent past, one must understand the history of the earlier realm. Jan Vansina provides a critique of the history recorded by early missionaries and court historians and provides a bottom-up view, drawing on hundreds of grassroots narratives. He describes the genesis of the Hutu and Tutsi identities, their growing social and political differences, their bitter feuds, revolts, and massacres, and the relevance of this dramatic history to the post-genocide Rwanda of today. 2001 French edition, Katharla Publishers

Download or read book Women Feminism and Femininity in the 21st Century written by B. Mousli and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-05-11 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American women look at French women as having it all: sex, motherhood, work, and public office, while French women look at American women as puritanical, excessively feminist, and unable to "have it all" without guilt. The essays in this book by leading American and French academics and critics set the record straight by assessing the truth of each outlook. They conclude that facts are different from imagination, and that on many issues, French feminists could actually look to the U.S. for inspiration. This book offers the first comparative critical appraisal of how women live in the US and in France and suggests paths of reflection on what women can do to improve their lives in the twenty-first century. This is a must read for anyone interested in the nature of womanhood today in the Western World.
