Hatem Babiker Awad Al-Karim -- Post-globalization - a new phase in an old international order

Post-globalization - a new phase in an old international order Written by / Hatem Babiker Awad Al-Karim  There is no doubt that the factors that met after the end of the Cold War (1945-1991) are eroding - they formed necessary conditions for globalization in their political dimensions by maximizing the international organization and regional organizations to play a major role in building international peace and security, and in its economic dimension with the transition of the GATT to the World Trade Organization And all this was followed by a cultural, security and military globalization.

US and Taliban Are Close to Long-Term Peace Deal

US and Taliban Are Close to Long-Term Peace Deal  With November presidential elections looming, Donald Trump may have found himself in a hurry to reach any sort of a peace deal with the Taliban and pave the way for intra-Afghan negotiations. Previous attempts by US administrations – including the current one – have been riddled with halts and changes of heart. There has been word of the United States finally bringing its on-and-off efforts to kick-start an Afghan peace process beyond merely pompous talk. Last Friday, the US and the Taliban agreed to a week-long reduction of violence – effectively a beta test of the group’s ability to maintain a lasting peace, to be followed by a phased drawdown of most of the nearly 13,000 troops the United States still deploys in Afghanistan. The Taliban said on Monday that it expects to sign a peace deal with the United States by the end of the month – the first step to end the 18-year war – to be accompanied by an exchange of thousands of deta

Prime Minister (Abdullah Hamdouk) speech to the United Nations in the balance Imam Sadiq al-Mahdi, head of the National Umma Party, writes: Prime Minister of the United Nations speech in the balance 2/19/2020 AD an introduction Sudan is a member of the United Nations, and he may request the international organization to provide him with assistance in the fields he sees under Chapter VI of the United Nations Charter. And the Sudanese regime in the past era committed a large number of abuses that made it vulnerable to the decisions of the UN Security Council under Chapter VII, which obliges the international organization to interfere in Sudanese affairs because its excesses endanger international peace and security. Under this intervention, international decisions were taken, the most important of them are: Resolution 1593 regarding crimes committed in Darfur since 2003, Resolution 1769 of 2007 to create UNAMID: the African International Military Force to protect civilians in Da

Which Relatives Are You Prohibited from Marrying? -Prof. RabbiMarty Lockshin

Which Relatives Are You Prohibited from Marrying? Prof. RabbiMarty Lockshin Leviticus’ list of conjugally-forbidden relations was extensive for its time. While the Karaites expanded the list greatly, the rabbis did so only slightly, leaving modern-day rabbinic Judaism with more relatives permitted for marriage than most western societies.

Which Relatives Are You Prohibited from Marrying? The taboo against incest is not an outgrowth of biology. In the world of non-human mammals, it is not uncommon for a male to engage in sexual activity with its mother or sister.

Deathblows to a Pregnant Woman – What Restitution Was Required? - Dr.Sandra Jacobs

Deathblows to a Pregnant Woman – What Restitution Was Required? Dr.Sandra Jacobs The requirement of a “life for a life,” recalling the lex talionis, is provided when a man accidentally kills a pregnant woman in a brawl. While this consequence is generally explained as capital punishment or monetary repayment, its legal formulation in the Covenant Collection is suggestive of live, human, substitution. Exodus 21:22-25: Accidental Injuries in a Public Brawl The talionic principle (often referred to by the Latin, ius talionis, based on its use in Roman law), appears in the Torah’s “wisdom laws” of מִּשְׁפָּטִים in the case of homicide, where a pregnant woman is accidentally killed in a fight. This scenario features also in the legal collections of the ancient Near East, where “a diversity of enforceable rules” existed to redress such losses. Financial Compensation for Miscarriage The accidental injury of a pregnant woman in a public brawl was of particular significance in the monument
