Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La notion de diplomatie humanitaire, objet d'études théoriques encore peu nombreuses, comporte des périmètres fluctuants, selon qu'on la limite à des négociations accompagnant l'action humanitaire ou que l'on y intègre la diplomatie relative au droit international humanitaire et ses différentes fonctions portées par de multiples acteurs. L'étude des rapports entre la diplomatie humanitaire et le droit international humanitaire (DIH) révèle sa grande plasticité à travers le temps, tant dans le domaine de l'évolution de ses objets -d'abord concentrée sur le développement des sources du DIH, puis sur l'amélioration de la mise en œuvre de ce droit- que de ses acteurs -initiée par des acteurs privés, tel Henry Dunant et les premières sociétés de secours, menée par les Etats, avant d'être à nouveau déterminée largement par une société civile organisée dans le cadre de puissantes ONG-.Ces fluctuations, mises en évidence dès l'Antiquité, concernent la diplomatie relative aux sources matérielles et formelles du DIH, qui a, dans une première approche empirique, révélé et affirmé les valeurs du DIH. La structuration progressive d'un réseau de parties prenantes des négociations conventionnelles a ensuite permis l'affirmation de méthodes propres à ce champ de la diplomatie, qui s'est écarté très tôt de celui de la diplomatie classique. Confrontée aux défis contemporains du DIH et à la transformation de la conflictualité, la diplomatie humanitaire est désormais caractérisée par l'apparition de nouvelles formes de négociations, émancipées des techniques basées sur la confidentialité, où les prérogatives de l'Etat reculent face à la montée en puissance des ONG. La prolifération des acteurs, mais également la flexibilité des méthodes et objets de négociations révèlent l'enrichissement d'une diplomatie créatrice du DIH par une diplomatie opérationnelle, constitutive d'une « diplomatie de catalyse », susceptible de permettre des adaptations des normes de ce corpus.

Download or read book La Diplomatie Multilat rale written by Marcel André Boisard and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first part of this book, distinguished diplomats and eminent academics have contributed papers on the concept of international organization, on international conference diplomacy and on negotiating strategies, while experts have provided practical advice on conference management and tips on getting ideas and positions heard and understood in this particular setting. A second part includes notices on the United Nations organizations headquartered in Geneva, with special emphasis on what may be called their institutional culture', and a third part, including an invaluable presentation by the Swiss Department of Foreign Affairs, is devoted to the question of privileges and immunities. There are many studies, academic or otherwise, on the United Nations organizations but hardly any provide this kind of practical guidance for diplomats and national officials first confronted with the Geneva multilateral setting. The book is primarily intended for them, but is also of interest for those concerned with international relations.

Download or read book Beyond the Divide written by Simo Mikkonen and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cold War history has emphasized the division of Europe into two warring camps with separate ideologies and little in common. This volume presents an alternative perspective by suggesting that there were transnational networks bridging the gap and connecting like-minded people on both sides of the divide. Long before the fall of the Berlin Wall, there were institutions, organizations, and individuals who brought people from the East and the West together, joined by shared professions, ideas, and sometimes even through marriage. The volume aims at proving that the post-WWII histories of Western and Eastern Europe were entangled by looking at cases involving France, Denmark, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, and others.

Download or read book Switzerland and the International Protection of Refugees La Suisse et la protection internationale des refugi s written by Vera Gowlland-Debbas and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume highlights the new challenges of the international protection of refugees fifty years after the adoption of the 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. Focusing on the problems faced by Switzerland in the field of international protection of refugees as well as on the specificity of its asylum law and practice, this publication addresses the refugee problem from a national, European and international perspective. The Swiss experience serves to illustrate the wider problematic of on the one hand, the tensions between security, political and humanitarian concerns encountered by refugee-receiving states, and on the other, the need to preserve an international refugee protection regime which remains an essential component of international law and relations for so long as political solutions are not brought to the root causes of refugee exodus. This reflection on the international protection of refugees is organized around four main themes. The first examines Switzerland's response in the past to mass influx, in the light of historical case studies and the evolution of Swiss asylum law and practice. The second focuses on the question of access of refugees to asylum territories and refugee status determination procedures within the framework of the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees and the current Swiss asylum law. The third centres on the wider protection regime currently being forged in Europe to address a broader category of refugees, including solutions for temporary and subsidiary protection. The final theme revolves around return of refugees, including those under the Dayton and recent Kosovo agreements and covers reintegration of returnees, assistance and long-term development. This work is based on papers presented at a colloquium of the Graduate Institute of the International Studies in Geneva which was organised in collaboration with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees as a contribution to the 50th anniversaries of the UNHCR and the Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees.

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.
