The path of a genocide
"The Great Lakes region of Africa has seen dramatic changes. After a decade of war, repression, and genocide, loosely allied regimes have replaced old-style dictatorships. The Path of a Genocide examines the decade (1986-97) that brackets the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. This collection of essays is both a narrative of that event and a deep reexamination of the international role in addressing humanitarian issues and complex emergencies. Nineteen don…

Recommendations are offered for moving beyond the current fragmented and marginalized approaches in order to develop a comprehensive system of student and learning supports

Contrasting Commissions on Interculturalism
This paper compares the response to the hijãb in France, Quebec and the rest of Canada to explore the different political cultures of those three polities, the ideals behind them and the modes of repression and tolerance which give meaning to those cultures. More specifically, the paper compares the Stasi Commission in France with the Bouchard–Taylor Commission in Quebec in terms of both process and conclusions. What role do public commissions pl…
Refugees, IDPs and the Responsibility to Protect (R2P)
During the first decade of the twenty-first century, a campaign developed and succeeded in establishing a new doctrine in international affairs called the 'Responsibility to Protect' which had a prevention and a rehabilitation dimension but was mostly focused on the rights and responsibilities of states to intervene in the domestic affairs of other states when the latter failed to protect their citizens from mass atrocities. Movements grew up aro…

After placing the issue of holding international institutional agents responsible within a theoretical context, this article takes up the case of the UN's role in the Rwandan genocide. Through an examination of the extensive literature that deals either directly or incidentally with the UN's role and responsibility during the period prior to the outbreak of mass killing on 6 April 1994, this essay tests a slightly modified version of Toni Erskine…

To Date or To Marry
Jim Hathaways appeal to date rather than marry proposes a separation of the study of convention refugees from that of others who are being forcefully displaced; a separation that we find disappointing and problematic. His determination to prevent the marriage of two sets of potential lovers-forced migrants and convention refugees as well as internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees in flight from war-suggests a puritanical differentiation …

In the aftermath of the terror attack on the United States on 11 September 2001, widespread concerns were raised about security concerns related to access to Canada and the United States of refugee claimants. Many new changes were introduced after that event to improve the control mechanisms to reduce the threat of terrorism. In the overlap between refugee and security concerns, particularly with respect to the genuine fear of terrorism, this pap…
Canadian Borders and Immigration Post 9/11
This article focuses on the effects of the World Trade Center terrorist attacks on Canadian immigration and refugee policy. After a glimpse at shifts in media coverage and public attitudes, and an examination of the impact on domestic human rights issues and the process of economic integration of Canada and the United States, this article will zero in on the security issue and its impact on immigration and refugee issues
Law and love
In legal texts, women, acting on their own volition, are actually described as individuals in negative terms. This study examines clandestine betrothals and marriages; adultery, especially the treatment of adulterous women; the abused wife and her ability to initiate divorce proceedings against her husband; and testaments left with Christian notaries by Jewish women. While they were limited by various laws and customs, individuals managed to use …
From Refugees to Forced Migration
Within UNHCR, there has been a shift in the emphasis on the meaning of protection. Protection of refugees is now primarily defined as security of refugees and refugee operations rather than in terms of the legal asylum process. The article examines the significance of UNHCR placing the refugee issue within both the larger context of forced migration as well as within the context of human security. The paper clarifies and documents a current and g…

African Refugees
This is a collection of 12 papers on aspects of the refugee problem in Africa. first brief section provides the legal framework for defining and assisting refugees.

Early Warning and Response
Western leadership ... has proclaimed moral indifference to be its decent Christian right John le Carré (1995, p. 213). The enormity of the genocide in Rwanda demands that it be subjected to searching enquiry and that members of the international community, collectively and individually, examine their own roles in the event. This paper draws extensively on Study II of the Joint Evaluation, and examines the effectiveness of international monitorin…

The Domestic Battleground provides the history and background needed to understand Canadian attitudes toward both the explosive unrest occurring in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and the participants in the conflict - Israel, the Palestin…
Jewish Studies
The history of Jewish studies has not yet been written. Scholars engaged in this field, however, are beginning to subject it to searching analysis. Pertinent articles have appeared that offer two extreme positions on the development of Jewish studies: one sees the increase in Jewish studies as the result of heightened Jewish self-awareness during the late 1960s because of the Six Day War, growing interest in the Holocaust, and the influence of ri…
Refuge or Asylum A Philosophical Perspective
Even if a state has the absolute sovereign authority t9 conlrol the entry of refugee claimants, and that absolute sovereign authority is based on the obligation of the state to serve the self-interest of its mcmbers, nevertheless that absolute sovercigrty must be qualified to grant rigbts to arrivals who are refugee claimants.This conclusion follows: a) logicaly from the premises of such a state, since such an extension recognizes the priority of…

The Right of Repatriation-Canadian Refugee Policy
This paper examines the principle of the right to repatriation and the Canadian dilemma in applying that principle in dealing with both refugees and the country from which they originally fled, Rwanda. It is particularly concerned with the right of individuals to be a member of a state and with the right to regain membership in a state from which they fled

Rational Explanation Reconsidered
It is over three decades since Carl Hempel advanced what has come to be called the covering-law model of explanation.1 Seventeen years ago William Dray argued that the covering-law model was inapplicable to explanations of human actions in history; he proposed what could be termed the connectingprinciple model of rational explanation of the actions of historical agents.2 Since then, most of the controversy over models of explanation of the action…

Diagnostic classification of learning problems
Despite the large body of literature on diagnoses related to learning problems, little systematic information has been gathered on the specific labels assigned by professionals and the bases for their determination. In this study of children enrolled in a clinical school program, only one diagnosis out of fifteen resulted from a consistent pattern of test findings, while over half the diagnoses were based primarily on observation, and a third wer…

Lowering Refugee Levels
In the Toronto Star of October 6, 1982, your advisor on immigration, Ian Rankin, suggests that Canada's refugee intake will be reduced in response to financial constraints of the federal government. In the Globe and Mail of October 7, 1 982, you suggest that a reduction is being considered in response to our unemployment problems. Neither rationalization is valid. Reducing Canada's refugee intake be- cause of these economic constraints is both in…
Prevalence and treatment of learning problems in upper and lower income areas
In a telephone survey, a lower incidence of learning problems, help received, and perceived effectiveness was reported in lower income areas. More upper income respondents reported receiving formal diagnoses and treatment. Possible discrepancies between official and resident reports of learning problems, the apparent need for additional services by both income groups, and the likelihood that residents are overestimating effectiveness and prognosi…
