Download or read book Los desastres en los archivos c mo planificarlos una gu a en siete pasos written by Arsenio Sánchez Hernampérez and published by . This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un siniestro es la situación más crítica a la que puede enfrentarse un centro documental. La segunda guerra mundial, los conflictos balcánicos o el hundimiento del Archivo Histórico de Colonia son ejemplos bien conocidos de una larga lista de desolación que ha diezmado el precioso legado de nuestros antepasados. Sus causas son muy variadas, pero, en cualquier caso, generan procesos de alteración violentos que, en pocas horas, son capaces de destruir completamente documentos, depósitos y archivos enteros. No todos los desastres son inevitables. La mayoría podría haber sido controlada mediante procesos de valoración y corrección de riesgos conocidos como planificación de siniestros o gestión de desastres. Basados en metodologías empleadas en la protección civil, engloban técnicas de prevención y de conservación con las que es posible evitar incendios, inundaciones o cualquier otro tipo de fenómeno destructivo. Además, permiten establecer protocolos de trabajo y reunir los recursos necesarios para actuar correctamente en la protección y salvamento de la documentación. Este manual es una guía práctica. Mediante siete pasos consecutivos apoyados en cuadros resumen y formularios personalizados, facilita la redacción de planes de desastre a la medida de los diferentes tipos de archivo, independientemente de sus recursos o de su tamaño.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Now in paperback, Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet surveys the energy driven dynamic that is reconfiguring the international landscape: Russia, the battered Cold War loser, is now the arrogant broker of Eurasian energy, and the United States, once the world's superpower, must now compete with the emerging "chindia" juggernaut for finite resources. Forecasting a future of surprising new alliances and explosive danger, Klare, the preeminent expert on resource geopolitics, argues that the only route to surival in our radically altered world lies through international cooperation"--Book cover

Download or read book International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights Law written by Roberta Arnold and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-07-31 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book addresses the current issue of the applicability and application of international human rights law and international humanitarian law in times of armed conflict. Scholars chronologically argued that only international humanitarian law was applicable, that both legal regimes were applicable, and eventually that international humanitarian law was the lex specialis of human rights law. The most recent trend is to state that international humanitarian law and human rights law are merging into a single set of rules, a proposition that is the focus of the investigations carried out in this book. The book examines general issues relating to applicability and the implementation of the two legal regimes as well as provides case studies focusing on specific rights or persons. [The cover of this publication displays a patchwork symbolizing the merger between international humanitarian law and human rights. Neither the publisher nor the editors intended the design to reproduce the protected Red Cross emblem. Any resemblance to the Red Cross emblem is purely coincidental]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title, first published in 1975, analyses the ways in which developments in Victorian universities have shaped both the structure and the assumptions of British higher education in the twentieth century. No period of British higher education has been more full of change nor so rooted in fundamental debate than the second half of the nineteenth century. Its lasting impact makes it crucial for an understanding both of this period of Victorian social history and of the contemporary system of higher education in Britain. This title will be of interest to students of history and education.

Download or read book Refuge from Inhumanity War Refugees and International Humanitarian Law written by David Cantor and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to a long-standing but ever topical debate about whether persons fleeing war to seek asylum in another country – ‘war refugees’ – are protected by international law. It seeks to add to this debate by bringing together a detailed set of analyses examining the extent to which the application of international humanitarian law (IHL) may usefully advance the legal protection of such persons. This generates a range of questions about the respective protection frameworks established under international refugee law and IHL and, specifically, the potential for interaction between them. As the first collection to deal with the subject, the eighteen chapters that make up this unique volume supply a range of perspectives on how the relationship between these two separate fields of law may be articulated and whether IHL may contribute to providing refuge from the inhumanity of war.

Download or read book Refugees from Armed Conflict written by Vanessa Holzer and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armed conflicts are a major cause of forced displacement, but people displaced by conflict are often not recognized as refugees under the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. They are frequently considered as having fled from generalized violence rather than from persecution. This book determines the international meaning of the refugee definition in Article 1A(2) of the Convention as regards refugee protection claims related to situations of armed conflict in the country of origin. Although the human rights based interpretation of the refugee definition is widely accepted, the interpretation and application of the Convention as regards claims to refugee status that relate to armed conflict is often marred with difficulties. Moreover, contexts of armed conflict pose the question of whether and to what extent the refugee definition should be interpreted in light of international humanitarian law. This book identifies the potential and limits of this interpretative approach. Starting from the history of international refugee law, the book situates the 1951 Convention within the international legal framework for the protection of the individual in armed conflict. It examines the refugee definition in light of human rights, international humanitarian law, and international criminal law, focusing on the elements of the refugee definition that most benefit from this interpretative approach: persecution and the requirement that the refugee claimant's predicament must be causally linked to the race, religion, nationality, and/or membership of a particular social group or political opinion.
