Book Synopsis Henry Dunant by : Corinne Chaponnière
Download or read book Henry Dunant written by Corinne Chaponnière and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-13 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Timely and significant." Church Times A pioneer of humanitarianism and founder of the International Red Cross, Henry Dunant was many things over his lifetime. A devout Christian and social activist, an ambitious but failed businessman, a humanitarian genius, and a bankrupt recluse. In this biography, Corinne Chaponnière reveals the tumultuous trajectory of Henry's life. From his idyllic childhood in Geneva, she follows Henry through the horrors of the Battle of Solferino, his creation of the Red Cross and role in the Geneva Conventions, the disgrace of his bankruptcy and his resurrection as a Nobel Peace Prize winner. It shows how this champion of wounded soldiers and prisoners of war was not an unblemished picture of piety and goodness, but that his empathy and good works played out in tandem with his social ambition and personal drive. It shows how even the best of us fall on hard times, and that the Red Cross was born out of humanitarian ideals coupled with a desire for personal success. This book reveals the story of Henry Dunant, blemishes and all, against the backdrop of the horrors of war, the weight of religion and the birth of humanitarianism in the 19th century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La vie et l'oeuvre d'Henry Dunant ont profondément marqué l'histoire du XIXe siècle. Certes, dans le passé militaire, depuis l'Antiquité. des initiatives avaient été prises pour soigner les blessés sur le champ de bataille mais elles restèrent sans lendemain... Son génie est d'avoir été là. au bon moment. pour créer une institution à caractère général et universel afin " d'humaniser la guerre ". Cela fut rendu possible grâce à des dispositions personnelles (sensibilité. volonté. etc.). à une éducation maternelle tournée vers une charité active et au concours de sociétés genevoises tournées elles aussi vers les oeuvres sociales inspirées de la ferveur calviniste. En 1901. Dunant reçut le premier prix Nobel de la paix pour la fondation de la Croix-Rouge internationale et l'initiation de la première convention de Genève. Né à Genève le 8 mai 1828. c'est à Heiden (en Suisse) qu'Henri Dunant acheva une existence " bien remplie " comme " pionnier de l'humanitaire " le 30 octobre 1910. Il y fustigea par écrit sa rage contre l'immobilisme et l'hypocrisie d'un monde qui ne sait pas trouver les voies de la réconciliation universelle.

Book Synopsis They Fight Like Soldiers, They Die Like Children by : Roméo Dallaire
Download or read book They Fight Like Soldiers, They Die Like Children written by Roméo Dallaire and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-05-10 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is my hope that through the pages of this remarkable book, you will discover groundbreaking thoughts on building partnerships and networks to enhance the global movement to end child soldiering; you will gain new and holistic insights on what constitutes a child soldier; you will learn more about girl soldiers, who have not been fully considered in the discussion of this issue; you will discover methods on how to influence national policies and the training of security forces; and you will find practical steps that will foster better coordination between security forces and humanitarian efforts."-Ishmael Beah As the leader of the ill-fated United Nations peacekeeping force in Rwanda, Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire came face-to-face with the horrifying reality of child soldiers during the genocide of 1994. Since then the incidence of child soldiers has proliferated in conflicts around the world: they are cheap, plentiful, expendable, with an incredible capacity, once drugged and brainwashed, for both loyalty and barbarism. The dilemma of the adult soldier who faces them is poignantly expressed in this book's title: when children are shooting at you, they are soldiers, but as soon as they are wounded or killed, they are children once again. Believing that not one of us should tolerate a child being used in this fashion, Dallaire has made it his mission to end the use of child soldiers. Where Ishmael Beah's A Long Way Gone gave us wrenching testimony of the devastating experience of being a child soldier, Dallaire offers intellectually daring and enlightened approaches to the child soldier phenomenon, and insightful, empowering solutions to eradicate it.

Book Synopsis Henry Dunant by : Corinne Chaponnière
Download or read book Henry Dunant written by Corinne Chaponnière and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connu dans le monde entier comme le pionnier de l'action humanitaire, Henry Dunant (1828-1910) a consacré à peine cinq ans à la Croix-Rouge, entre la formulation de son idée dans Un souvenir de Solférino et son exclusion du Comité international en 1867. Le reste de sa vie ressemble pourtant à un vrai roman balzacien : homme d'affaires ambitieux, coqueluche des cours européennes, le promoteur de la Convention de Genève fait une faillite retentissante qui le plonge dans la misère et le désir de vengeance. Terré à Paris pendant la Commune, tenaillé par la faim en Angleterre, parcourant l'Europe au service d'une dame fortunée avant de s'isoler en Suisse orientale, le fugitif de Genève s'acharnera, pendant trente ans, à regagner la paternité de son oeuvre. Jusqu'à la conquête méthodiquement orchestrée du premier Prix Nobel de la paix, en 1901. Dans une nouvelle édition révisée, la biographie de Corinne Chaponnière restitue sans fard la vie rocambolesque d'Henry Dunant.

Book Synopsis The Social Psychology of Collective Victimhood by : Johanna Ray Vollhardt
Download or read book The Social Psychology of Collective Victimhood written by Johanna Ray Vollhardt and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book provides an overview of current social psychological scholarship on collective victimhood. Drawing on different contexts of collective victimization-such as due to genocide, war, ethnic or religious conflict, racism, colonization, Islamophobia, the caste system, and other forms of direct and structural collective violence-this edited volume presents theoretical ideas and empirical findings concerning the psychological experience of being targeted by collective violence in the past or present. Specifically, the book addresses questions such as: How are experiences of collective victimization passed down in groups and understood by those who did not experience the violence personally? How do people cope with and make sense of collective victimization of their group? How do the different perceptions of collective victimization feed into positive versus hostile relations with other groups? How does group-based power shape these processes? Who is included in or excluded from the category of "victims", and what are the psychological consequences of such denial versus acknowledgment? Which individual psychological processes such as needs or personality traits shape people's responses to collective victimization? What are the ethical challenges of researching collective victimization, especially when these experiences are recent and/or politically contested? This edited volume offers different theoretical perspectives on these questions, and shows the importance of examining both individual and structural influences on the psychological experience of collective victimhood-including attention to power structures, history, and other aspects of the social and political context that help explain the diversity in experiences of and responses to collective victimization"--
Book Synopsis Henry Dunant - L'homme qui inventa la Croix-Rouge by : Gérard A. Jaeger
Download or read book Henry Dunant - L'homme qui inventa la Croix-Rouge written by Gérard A. Jaeger and published by Archipel. This book was released on 2009-05-06 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le matin du 24 juin 1859, la France et l'Autriche s'affrontent en un combat sanglant aux portes de Solférino. Un jeune commerçant genevois est témoin de la bataille et des souffrances qui lui font cortège. Il racontera trois ans plus tard combien la désorganisation de l'intendance médicale militaire fut fatale à des milliers de soldats, de part et d'autre du front. Hanté par cette vision d'horreur, Dunant n'a de cesse, de faire accepter par les chancelleries son idée d'aide humanitaire, neutre et bénévole, en temps de guerre. Et cette oeuvre novatrice, pour laquelle il réclame « un haut degré de dévouement », va progressivement s'immiscer dans les consciences et s'étendre à tous les États du monde. Aussi, en 1901, pour le premier Prix Nobel de la paix, le nom de Henry Dunant (1828-1910) est naturellement sur toutes les lèvres... même si le fondateur de la Croix-Rouge ne fait pas l'unanimité parmi les pacifistes. Poursuivi par les créanciers, Dunant s'est réfugié dans la solitude et l'anonymat sur les hauteurs du lac de Constance. Il ne recherche plus que la tranquillité lorsque les projecteurs de Stockholm viennent rappeler au monde ce que fut sa vie...
Book Synopsis Law and Morality at War by : Adil Ahmad Haque
Download or read book Law and Morality at War written by Adil Ahmad Haque and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The laws are not silent in war, but what should they say? What is the moral function of the law of armed conflict? Should the law protect civilians who do not fight but help those who do? Should the law protect soldiers who perform non-combat functions or who may be safely captured? How certain should a soldier be that an individual is a combatant rather than a civilian before using lethal force? What risks should soldiers take on themselves to avoid harming civilians? When do inaccurate weapons become unlawfully indiscriminate? When does "collateral damage" to civilians become unlawfully disproportionate? Should civilians lose their legal rights by serving, voluntarily or involuntarily, as human shields? Finally, when should killing civilians constitute a war crime? These are the questions that Law and Morality at War answers, contributing to a cutting-edge international debate. Drawing on the concepts and methods of contemporary moral and legal philosophy, the book develops a normative framework within which the laws of war and international criminal law can be evaluated, criticized, and reformed. While several philosophical works critically examine the moral status of civilians and combatants, this book fills a gap, offering both an account of the laws of war and war crimes, and proposing how the law could be improved from a moral point of view. Finally, it explores when, if ever, the emotional pressures under which soldiers act should partially or wholly excuse their wrongful actions.
Book Synopsis Taming Ares: War, Interstate Law, and Humanitarian Discourse in Classical Greece by : Emiliano J. Buis
Download or read book Taming Ares: War, Interstate Law, and Humanitarian Discourse in Classical Greece written by Emiliano J. Buis and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Taming Ares Emiliano J. Buis examines the sources of classical Greece to challenge both the state-centeredness of mainstream international legal history and the omnipresence of war and excessive violence in ancient times. Making ample use of epigraphic as well as literary, rhetorical, and historiographical sources, the book offers the first widespread account of the narrative foundations of the (il)legality of warfare in the classical Hellenic world. In a clear yet sophisticated manner, Buis convincingly proves that the traditionally neglected study of the performance of ancient Greek poleis can contribute to a better historical understanding of those principles of international law underlying the practices and applicable rules on the use of force and the conduct of hostilities.
