The Icrc And Neutrality In Modern Civil And Ethnic Conflict (Red Cross)., Michelle Charmaine Smith
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Neutrality is the primary focus of the thesis, for it is a controversial and complex issue which the ICRC places at the heart of its mandate of humanitarian activity.

Honor Without Women: Honor And The Legitimization Of Murder In The Criminal Courts Of Lebanon., Randa Bassem. Serhan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Honor crimes are the killing of women, and occasionally men for deviation from sexual norms and expectations.

The bulk of the data collected for this exploration is composed of investigative literature and Lebanese criminal court records. The court archives serve the purposes of displaying a discourse of honor in a controlled setting, and demonstrating the de facto handling of such crimes. Through examination of the transcripts of the 36 honor crimes tried in 1995, the boundaries of …

This paper examines how all three factors interconnect in the characterization of Arafat in The New York Times in the periods before and after the handshake. Chapter One …
