Condition Of Women

For a number of years now I have been researching, writing, and lecturing on gender issues, with an emphasis on the condition of women in the Arab world. I knew the statistics, most of the related data, and several stories about the plight of individual Arab and Moslem women in these patriarchal societies. In brief, I knew my subject. At least I thought I did, until I got married. What had previously been mostly an academic exercise suddenly and unexpectedly became a personal saga.

Do So

Abstract Situating itself in current debates over the international legal archive, this article delves into the material and conceptual implications of architecture for international law. To do so I trace the architectural developments of international law’s organizational and administrative spaces during the early to mid twentieth century. These architectural endeavours unfolded in three main stages: the years 1922–1926, during which the International Labour Organization (ILO) building, the first building exclusively designed for an international organization was constructed; the years 1927–1937 which saw the great polemic between modernist and classical architects over the building of the Palace of Nations; and the years 1947–1952, with the triumph of modernism, represented by the UN Headquarters in New York. These events provide an illuminating allegorical insight into the physical manifestation, modes of self-expression, and transformation of international law during this era, particularly the relationship between international law and the function and role of international organizations.

Female labour participation and pay equity in Arab countries: commonalities and differences

Labour Participation

While there is a common belief that female labour indicators in Arab countries demonstrate a problematic situation, little is understood about the varieties within countries in that region. This paper attempts to draw a segmentation of the Arab world to show how different countries differ in this regard. It looks at two specific measures: the level of female participation as a percentage of male participation (FPM), and the female earned income to male income (FIM). Statistics from 20 Arab countries generated four clusters in which those countries are classified. Female labour indicators in most countries in the Arab world show similar patterns found in other countries in their stage of development. This confirms earlier research that indicates that women's labour participation decreases as societies move away from agriculture into manufacturing, services and industry. Only four countries are identified as outliers whose labour indicators can be understood within the context of the cultural values that dominate. The implications are discussed and individual research on female labour within each Arab country is invited.

Objective: Rabies is a dangerous zoonotic infectious disease. Dog bites cause 99% of all human deaths from rabies. In Europe and North America, however, with the successful control of rabies in dogs, the wild cycle of rabies is the major and dominant cycle of disease. According to the WHO classification, the Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office (EMRO) countries are divided into population health laws, health system performance, and health spending levels. This review aimed to evaluate the epidemiology of rabies in the EMRO countries in these three categories. Methods: In this study, using some search engines (PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar) were searched about the frequency of rabies in EMRO countries without considering the time and related content. Results: In some parts of the world, including most countries in the region, EMRO, rabies is endemic and a serious problem for human and animal health. Conclusions: According to the global strategic plan to end human deaths from rabies by 2030, all the countries in the EMRO region and the international organizations such as WHO, OIE, etc., must take the necessary measures to control this disease. Regional and global cooperation, and comprehensive and effective policies, are required to solve this issue. Keywords: rabies; surveillance; epidemiology.

The Future

Chapter 7 argues that drones will enable international organizations, NGOs, and advocacy groups to monitor human rights abuses, deliver relief, and pressure governments for change. Small surveillance drones are ideally suited for taking on the “dull, dirty, and dangerous” jobs that are needed in these situations. In the future, drones will be able to transport and drop food and medicine in response to crises in places where humanitarian organizations are reluctant to send their own personnel. Drones will ultimately give these actors another tool with which they can monitor events on the ground and possibly shame governments into stronger action. But drones may also increase the ambitions of IOs/NGOs to intensify the pace of humanitarian relief and social change, even if doing so is unsustainable.

The United Nations

United Nations (UN) specialized agencies are autonomous organizations working as part of the UN system in economic, social, cultural, educational, health, and related fields. There are 17 UN specialized agencies. Four of these—the International Labour Organization (ILO), United Postal Union (UPU), International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and World Meteorological Organization (WMO)—were in existence as international organizations before the establishment of the UN. The other agencies were established either concurrently with or subsequent to the establishment of the UN. This chapter discusses the development of specialized agencies; other agencies or organizations; membership; legal personality; relationship agreements; relationship with principal organs; overview of mandates; and bodies established by specialized agencies.

Rule Making

Throughout its one hundred years of existence, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has taken a dynamic approach to the implementation of its mandate to achieve social justice through the adoption of international labor standards. This approach is exemplified in three ILO declarations: the Declaration concerning the aims and purposes of the International Labour Organization, 1944 (Declaration of Philadelphia); the Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, 1998 (the 1998 Declaration) and the Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization, 2008 (the 2008 Declaration). These declarations contain expressions of renewed commitment by the ILO's tripartite membership toward the universal relevance of the Organization's constitutional mandate and its means of action (standards, development cooperation, and research), and by the ILO to support its members. These declarations have in addition adapted the vision of the ILO mission to contemporary circumstances for a better impact. As noted by Professors Alvarez and Burci, the ILO is a good example of a long-standing international public organization reinventing itself with very few amendments to its founding charter.
