Book Synopsis International Human Rights Law Enforcement: THE INCONGRUOUS VOICES THAT PREVAIL by : MacDonald I J Mopho
Download or read book International Human Rights Law Enforcement: THE INCONGRUOUS VOICES THAT PREVAIL written by MacDonald I J Mopho and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-06 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is to everyone’s benefit for us to have a world of peace and for that reason we must individually seek to identify and confront whatever threatens the prospects of our continuous existence in peace, irrespective of how far it might be from us at the time. The rights enshrined in treaties as individual human rights in various covenants of the United Nations such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, ICCPR, (1966) and International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, ICESCR, (1966) are meant to protect and secure people within the territories and governments of the States parties that rectified those covenants with the United Nations. Most people today might have forgotten that just about 400 years ago, the European nations fought a thirty years’ religious war (1618 – 1648) that ended with the treaty of Westphalia. Consequently, what is now manifesting as acts of gross human rights violations, and crimes against humanity perpetrated by States that are democratic governments as well as States that are operating religious nationalism, with a menace to the peace and security of the international committee, is watched with passive interest by those who are yet to be affected. Whether it is the United States leading NATO to invade and destroy Libya and render its citizens victims of gross human rights violations, or Russia invading Ukraine in a war of intentional act of aggression and human rights violations, or the Taliban in Afghanistan stripping off the women and girls of Afghanistan of their human rights, the threat to the International Community should be a matter of concern for all. The United Nations Security Council and General Assembly, have a responsibility to devise a means of attending to these threats under the provisions of its Charter.

Book excerpt: 'What a delight... a fascinating mix of characters whose stories bring to life the Way of Love to which Jesus calls us all.' BISHOP MICHAEL B. CURRY 'A wonderful series of short reflections... easy to read but packed with depth and insight.' PAULA GOODER Martin Luther King famously declared that 'I have decided to stick with love... Hate is too great a burden to bear'. In these luminous daily readings, Arun Arora helps us consider the biblical picture of the Church as the people of God, drawn from every tribe, every tongue and every nation. Themes of racial justice, hospitality and welcome are explored alongside the stories of saints from across the globe. Beginning with reflections from Isaiah and Revelation, the meditations lead us on to consider the missionaries, martyrs and mystics who light our Advent way. 'Beautifully embodies the new community that Jesus both offers and energises.' DAVID WILKINSON 'Like spending an afternoon with Bishop Arun at the pub... brimming with Advent hope.' JAYNE MANFREDI 'Leads us through Advent with [Bishop Arun's] characteristic wisdom and insight.' GILES FRASER 'Gathers the beautifully diverse family of faith around the table... as we prepare for the great feast that is to come.' KATE BOTTLEY

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The persecution of Christians is on the increase worldwide.

Many Christians are concerned about how to properly respond to such oppression.

Book Synopsis The Next Jihad by : Rev. Johnnie Moore
Download or read book The Next Jihad written by Rev. Johnnie Moore and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Next Jihad draws from the on-the-ground experience and personal testimonials of two of the world’s leading advocates for religious freedom and human rights—one Jewish and one Christian—as they explain what’s happening to Christians across Africa, why it matters, and what must be done now. Although news of Christians being killed overseas hits major media outlets from time to time, the news quickly fades away while our fellow believers continue to suffer. Johnnie Moore, as he has done before, wants to awaken the church and American politicians to the daily horrors happening to Christians, focusing this time on Africa. While the world has been fixated on jihadist threats in the Middle East, terrorists from Nigeria to Kenya have had free reign to massacre on a scale far beyond that of the terrorists in Iraq and Syria. Whole villages have been razed, mothers and children have been grotesquely killed, and an unabashed effort at ethnic cleansing has been embarked upon with unrelenting resolve. Their intention is to rid Africa of its Christians, either by forced conversion to Islam or by destruction and murder.

Book excerpt: This anthology is an outcome of literary writers’ reaction to the Boko Haram insurgency in the north-eastern part of Nigeria. Lives therein have not only been extensively disrupted by the group’s violent tactics and the mind-numbing levels of physical destruction and thousands of deaths, but also in the dislocation of millions of people, with most of them seeking refuge in urban centres, especially Maiduguri, for safety. These refugees, classified as Internally Displaced Persons and in camps guarded by Nigerian soldiers, have received worldwide attention. Writers in the affected areas and elsewhere in Nigeria have responded in their poetry, short stories, and non-fiction some of which are collected here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines what it means to live as a Christian minority: both in non-Christian societies and in societies where other forms of Christianity are predominant. Many Christians live in states where other religions have historically influenced national identities, or where secularism defines communal expectations. At the same time, some Christian minorities live among other, more prevalent Christian traditions and often experience marginalization as a result. This volume provides insight into the experiences of the many contemporary Christian communities throughout the world and how they are responding to their varied societal circumstances.

Book Synopsis Nigeria's 2019 Democratic Experience by : Egodi Uchendu
Download or read book Nigeria's 2019 Democratic Experience written by Egodi Uchendu and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-06-06 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria’s democratisation efforts since attaining political independence from Britain have been tumultuous and have spanned over three successive republics. A persistent bug decimating Nigeria’s democracy and repeatedly leading to military coups has been brazen electoral violence perpetrated by the nation’s political elite. Nigeria's 2019 Democratic Experience analyses and explains what went wrong in Nigeria’s experiment with democracy. Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation and the world’s seventh most populous nation, also contributes 70% of West Africa’s population. She is sub-Saharan Africa’s largest oil producer and has remained Africa’s largest economy by GDP since 2014. The country has hundreds of diverse ethnic nationalities and languages grouped into 36 states (or federating units) and an independent federal capital territory. Though recognized as Africa’s largest democracy, her democratisation process since the 1960s has remained tumultuous with massive electoral violence and political intolerance. This repeatedly compelled the military to intervene in the nation’s political history in the years 1966, 1983 and 1985. It is these developments that provided the motivation for this volume to capture for posterity the conduct of the 2019 General Elections in Nigeria.
Download or read book Betrayal written by Charles Jacobs and published by Wicked Son. This book was released on 2023-05-22 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Betrayal loudly rings the alarm for a somnolent American Jewry. Read it and wake others.” —Daniel Pipes, President of the Middle East Forum “If you think it’s time for the American Jewish community, its organizations, and its leadership, to have an honest, challenging, vigorous debate about where we are going—and what mistakes we have made—then read this important, illuminating, sometimes depressing, but ultimately inspiring, book.” —Gil Troy, Distinguished Scholar of North American History at McGill University, and editor of the three-volume set Theodor Herzl: Zionist Writings This book—perhaps the first devoted to this topic—documents the devastating failure of the Jewish establishment, including its leaders and major donors, to defend and protect American Jews as anti-Semitism surges across the country. It is a collection of essays by writers who care about the welfare of the Jewish community. Some of the essayists are prominent, some are local activists engaged in ongoing battles to defend the community. Some essays offer analyses, others give disturbing, in-depth accounts of the failures themselves. All of them rebuke the Jewish leaders and institutions who have abandoned their responsibilities. While Jewish leaders cling to a utopian belief system which comports with their naïve political ideology, the ugly reality their mindset ignores only worsens. Betrayed by their leaders, the essayists argue, American Jews require new, strong leadership. The book itself is an expanded version of a collection published in the Spring 2022 issue of White Rose Magazine, a publication which promotes classical liberalism in the face of political extremism and is named in honor of the anti-Nazi White Rose resistance movement.

Book Synopsis Beside the Still Waters by : Gladys Ijeoma Akunna
Download or read book Beside the Still Waters written by Gladys Ijeoma Akunna and published by LifeRich Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-31 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A frame story, By the Still Waters is ultimately the story of post- colonial Nigeria recapitulated in the struggles of a brave teenage girl, not only to salvage her broken dreams from her country’s smoldering ruins, but also to rebuild the dreams of her country women. “Udo”, the heroine of By the Still Waters means “Peace” in English language. But far from what her name connotes and contrary to her long held dreams of good life and the aspiration and hopes of her loving parents, something apposite and quite sinister stood between her and the attainment of the well-intended plans and expectations. The tyranny of repressive values; fortune’s double cast, indifferent and wicked relations and the mother of them all, the aged village Chief who was forced on her as a suitor made something to snap in her. She simply took to flight. To where? Indeed, no contemplation! Being under aged, inexperienced and disadvantaged, her various adventures and wanderings actually took her through thick and thin and balanced her precariously for some time on the edge of doom! But guided by virtue, good family upbringing, will to succeed against all odds, and to a greater or lesser extent, faith in God, she not only succeeded in securing the sound education and training she had desired, the security of a home she missed, and the love of her life she yearned for all the while; but also the happy re-union with her family, minus her father. She had swum in massive waves of oppression for some time, and emerged a survivor from the raging depths of tumultuous existence. Now, Freedom’s Voice for women trapped in the hard places of life, she continues her walk quietly beside the still waters of life!
Book Synopsis Women and Peacebuilding in Africa by : Ladan Affi
Download or read book Women and Peacebuilding in Africa written by Ladan Affi and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2021 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key book for conflict and peace studies, reveals the gendered nature of peacebuilding, its consequences, and the importance of women playing a part in peace processes in Africa.Even in the best of circumstances, women are all too often excluded from formal peacemaking and peacebuilding processes and relegated to the sidelines as observers or limited to informal peacebuilding strategies. Yet there is enormous potential in these strategies as women often strive to build bridges across political, ethnic, religious, clan and other differences through alliances arising from common concerns around violence, land, access to resources, and protection of their families and communities, and address sources of conflict at both national and local levels. Drawing on cutting-edge research by scholars and women''s rights activists in South Sudan, Sudan, Algeria, northern Nigeria, and Somalia, this book focuses on the consequences of the continuing exclusions of women from peace talks and from post-conflict governance structures. The case studies reveal how peacebuilding is gendered and why this matters in developing meaningful and sustainable approaches to peacebuilding. Examining how women activists have made a difference through informal peacebuilding activities, the contributors explore women''s efforts to reshapethe post-conflict context by struggling for legislative and constitutional reforms and by advocating for political representation and political inclusion more generally within peacebuilding processes. They also look at how women have pushed back against the conservative Islamist forces that today dominate much armed conflict in Africa. Suggesting that women''s formal participation in peace negotiations is vital in bringing about an end to conflict and preventing its resumption, as well as the one of the most effective strategies, this book will be essential reading for scholars and NGOs involved in development, conflict resolution and peacebuilding.

Book Synopsis Understanding Modern Nigeria by : Toyin Falola
Download or read book Understanding Modern Nigeria written by Toyin Falola and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-24 with total page 691 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its independence from Britain in 1960, Nigeria has emerged as Africa's second largest economy and one of the biggest producers of oil in the world. Despite its economic success, however, there are deep divisions among its two hundred and fifty ethnic groups. Centered around three of the dominant themes of Nigeria's post-colonial narrative - ethnicity, democracy and governance, this is an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the history and events that have shaped these three areas. World-renowned expert in Nigerian history, Toyin Falola shows us how the British laid the foundations of modern Nigeria, with colonialism breading competition for resources and power and the widening cleavages between the Hausa-Fulani, Yoruba, and Igbo ethnic groups that had been forced together under British rule, the choice of federalism as a political system, and the religious and political pluralism that have shaped its institutions and practices. Using an examination of the outcomes of this history, manifested in hunger, violence, poverty, human rights violations, threats of secession and corruption, where power and resources are used to reproduce underdevelopment, Falola offers insights and recommendations for the future of policy and the potential for intervention in the country.
