This chapter analyses the background and provisions of the Firearms Protocol. It begins by describing the problem of global trade in small firearms and light weapons to criminal organisations, and outlines international efforts before 2000 to subject the arms trade to formal and informal forms of international and regional regulation. It then summarizes the negotiating history of the Protocol and the provisions of the Protocol as finally adopted by the UN General Assembly, including the travaux préparatoires relating to the most controversial and important provisions. It then discusses the steps taken by the parties to the Protocol to implement it through domestic legislation and international cooperation. The chapter ends with a summary of the major global and regional developments in small arms trade regulation that have supplemented or built upon the Protocol, such as the UN Arms Trade Treaty.

This concluding chapter discusses the date of the adoption of the ATT, which was on 2 April 2013. The text of the draft ATT submitted to the UN General Assembly referred to the treaty being ‘done’ (i.e. adopted) on 28 March 2013—the final day of the United Nations Final Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty. It was subsequently amended in accordance with Operative Paragraph 2 of UN General Assembly Resolution 67/234B of 2 April 2013 to reflect the fact that adoption had not been possible on that date at the final diplomatic conference owing to the objections of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Iran, and Syria.

The article reviews the history of discourse analysis development. The definitions of the terms discourse, political discourse and metaphor are given. The main contemporary European and Russian linguistic approaches to metaphor study are analyzed. The article also presents the analysis of the conceptual metaphor types (orientational, ontological, structural) in the political discourse, as well as its functions according to the cognitive approach. The metaphor nominating different socio-political actions and phenomena on the basis of the cognitive world picture is an integral part of the modern political discourse and contains vast imaginative and notional potential, the skillful usage of which helps the orator to carry out their speech intentions. The speech given by the Argentinean President (2007–2015) K. Fernández de Kirchner during the 69th session of the UN General Assembly has become the material for the study.

AbstrakHaiti terletak di Pulau Hispaniola, yang merupakan perbatasan antara lempeng tektonik Amerika dan Karibia. Lempeng ini bergerak sekitar 2 sentimeter per tahun, sehingga termasuk seismik aktif dan memiliki sejarah gempa yang panjang. Namun, dengan sejarahnya yang sering terkena gempa, tidak membuat negara ini menjadi siap terhadap gempa. Pada tahun 2010, gempa yang cukup besar, dengan skala sekitar 7 SR menerpa Haiti. Korban jiwa yang diakibatkan oleh gempa tersebut mencapai 100.000 hingga 300.000 jiwa. Menurut UN General Assembly, kerugian total akibat gempa bumi diperkirakan mencapai USD 7.8 milyar, yang berarti setara dengan lebih dari 120 persen GDP Haiti di tahun 2009. Melalui tulisan ini, peneliti ingin mengetahui bagaimana analisis kerentanan masyarakat Haiti terhadap bencana alam, terutama gempa, karena dengan skala yang sebenarnya tidak terlalu besar (7 SR), gempa tahun 2010 tersebut menelan begitu banyak korban jiwa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data documentary analysis. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa bencana alam mempunyai beberapa dimensi, dan membutuhkan penanganan komprehensif agar jumlah korban jiwa akibat gempa bisa ditekan dan diminimalisir oleh pemerintah.Kata Kunci: bencana alam, gempa, kerentanan masyarakat.AbstractHaiti is located on the island of Hispaniola, which is the border between America and Caribbean tectonic plates. These plates move about 2 centimeters per year, thus including seismically active, has a long history of earthquakes. However, as a land which often affected by the earthquake, this state is not ready against earthquakes. In 2010, an earthquake, about 7 SR scale hit Haiti. The loss of life caused by the earthquake reached 100,000 to 300,000. According to the UN General Assembly, a total loss due to the earthquake is estimated at USD 7.8 billion, which would be equivalent to more than 120 percent of Haiti's GDP in 2009. By this article, the researchers probe the Haiti’s community vulnerability analysis towards natural disasters, particularly earthquakes, because the actual scale of the earthquake itself is not enormous, only 7 SR of 10 SR, however the earthquake in 2010 swallowed so many losses. This study uses qualitative research methods with data collection techniques documentary analysis. The result shows that a natural disaster has several dimensions, and requires a comprehensive action so that the number of casualties caused by the earthquake can be suppressed and minimized by the government.Keywords: natural disasters, earthquakes, community vulnerability

Cross Fertilization

This chapter examines whether anti-Israel sentiment and behavior predicts discrimination against Jews. It discusses the history of anti-Zionism and demonstrates that at least in some instances it can instigate discrimination against Jews. The authors also discuss general social science theories which address whether the behavior or existence of a country can instigate discrimination against a diaspora from that country. They focus on securitization theory, which has been used to explain levels of discrimination against Muslims, as well as other prominent theories drawn from a wide variety political science and social science literatures. The authors argue that both the anti-Semitism and the general political science literatures can benefit greatly from this cross-fertilization and suggest some theoretical innovations based on this discussion. Empirically they find that both anti-Israel sentiment and anti-Israel voting by governments in the UN General Assembly predict government-based discrimination against Jews. However, these do not predict societal discrimination against Jews.

The tradition of providing refuge to people who are fleeing and in need of protection is a long-standing one, present throughout history and in various contexts, and now embedded in international law. The New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2016, reaffirmed international refugee protection standards and provided a model for a more comprehensive response to large-scale refugee movements, based on shared global responsibility for refugees. It represented a critical development at a time when international cooperation aimed at preventing, responding to and resolving conflicts is proving inadequate, and an increasing number of people are being internally displaced, forced across borders or left in protracted exile as a result of conflict, violence and persecution. In this interview, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees shares his thoughts on some of today's most significant forced displacement challenges, and the prospects presented by the New York Declaration.
