The references span the 1994 through 1999 period. EO activities, from its founding in 1989 through 1993, escaped the attention of the world media. With EO's increasing involvement in Angola and later Sierra Leone and Papua New Guinea, this mercenary corporation lost much of its transparency. As a result, its activities became increasingly scrutinized by the press, defense researchers, and other concerned parties. With the passage of the new anti-mercenary law in South Africa, EO closed its doors 1 January 1999. The "mercenary corporation EO" thus officially existed from 1989 through 1998. As of March 1999, however, the EO Pretoria office was still open, with its associates most likely continuing their activities at a greatly reduced level of visibility under the banner of Lifeguard, Saracen, or another security firm linked to EO.

Its purpose is twofold: 1) to provide a fairly comprehensive, useful and up-to-date reference on the topic, for use by scholars and policymakers alike, and 2) to present a range of definitions and thoughts on the term, as it has been used by those who write about it, because there is as of yet, no definitive or agreed upon definition.

This activity, which is supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, provides a forum in which a diverse group of experts can discuss the state of knowledge about demographic structures and processes among people who are displaced by war and political violence, famine, natural disasters, or government projects or programs that destroy their homes and communities. The roundtable includes representatives from operational agencies, with long-standing field and administrative experience. It includes researchers and scientists with both applied and scholarly expertise in medicine, demography, and epidemiology. The group also includes representatives from government, international organizations, donors, universities, and nongovernmental organizations.

Since its foundation by J. David Singer at the University of Michigan in 1964, the project has contributed significantly to the scientific study of war and conflict. In this article, we provide a historical summary of the COW research program through a selected bibliography of its published scholarship in four stages from 1964 to 2000.

Moving beyond the simple question of whether population pressures lead to violent conflict, the articles examine the variety of ways particular political, economic, and/or environmental factors interact with demographic concerns to produce conflict. Certain global security issues and country-specific policy implications emerge from the research.

Whilst there are a handful of bibliographies on transitional justice available on the internet, the listing of resources on this site aims to address two apparant gaps in the information available to researchers in Africa. The first is the need for a compilation of resources relevant to transitional justice work in Africa. Second is the need for an annotated listing of transitional justice related documents available in French.

Summaries of key texts, case studies and guides provide insights into the numerous and diverse ways in which this has been achieved. If you are too busy designing, implementing and managing programmes to read a book on the subject, then you can refer to this collection for concise, accessible information on a range of resources.

The literature surveyed is are mostly from the second half of the 1990s, since the time of the Machel report (1996). However, some of it goes farther back to the 1980s and the early 1990s focusing on more enduring conflict situations like Northern Ireland#, and Palestine. The major portion of the literature focuses on continental Africa, especially Sudan, Mozambique, Liberia, Rwanda and Sierra Leone. Almost all the cases of major conflicts involving or affecting a high percentage of civilian populations is covered in the literature in varying degrees, with some exceptions such as East Timor and Myanmar in South and South-East Asia, Iraq and Turkey in West Asia, Peru, El Salvador, Mexico, Haiti in South America, and Chechnya in Europe.

Nevertheless, child soldiers still exist in at least 20 countries and their number, about 300,000, is believed to have remained constant. In order for strategies for prevention, demobilisation and reintegration to have sustained effects however it is necessary to tackle the root causes of the problem. The fate of war victims, in particular children - who are especially vulnerable to the consequences of armed conflict - is a high priority of Swiss foreign policy. Switzerland has played an active role in drawing up and adopting the above-mentioned legal instruments and is committed to promoting their universal ratification without reservations, as well as their# effective implementation. In keeping with this priority, Switzerland will continue to ensure that the protection of children during and after armed conflicts is adequately reflected in the policy agenda of the international community. The Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) works closely with relevant international organisations as well as non-governmental organisations, such as the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers. It supports specific activities aimed at disarming, demobilising, rehabilitating and reintegrating child soldiers.

Based on a population-based survey conducted at some risk by a team of Iraqi and American public health researchers, the article reports that approximately 600,000 people have died violently above the normal mortality rate. Including non-violent deaths that are linked to the war, the total is estimated to be more than 650,000.

This document compiles key online resources that describe the current understanding of, and responses to, the effects of gender on HIV/AIDS at the international level. Resources were selected to provide a balanced approach that addresses both men's and women's concerns, vulnerabilities, challenges, and responses to gender and HIV/AIDS issues. A special focus on gender-based violence is included because of the tremendous impact of sexual violence on risk of HIV infection.

The mines are generally concealed and so rigged that they will be initiated by the enemy's presence or contact, except in instances where they may be initiated by remote control. Landmines may produce casualties by direct explosive force, fragmentation, shaped-charge effect, or the release of harassing agents or lethal gas." (from Dictionary of Weapons and Military Terms, 1973.) This selective list of materials was prepared for the Conference on Humanitarian Demining and the International Effort to Ban Landmines held at the University of California, Irvine on 8 May 2000 and updated since then to offer interested persons some direction to relevant and recent information on this important subject, but is not an exhaustive bibliography. One should consider searching a variety of social science, political and scientific indexing tools for additional sources. These resources are suitable to be utilized in classroom teaching and anthologies on this topic. SOURCE:
