Social Anarchy, ‘Common Danger’ or Political ‘Terrorism’? Origins of Transnational Legal Suppression of Terrorism in the Unification of Criminal Laws, 1927–35

Ben Saul takes us back to legal antecedents of modern terrorism laws, unfolding a story of how increases in the level and sophistication of law enforcement cooperation against anarchists led eventually to the attempted negotiation under League auspices of an anti-terrorism convention, the AIDP’s attempts to draft a code of common offences for mankind including terrorism, and the work of the International Bureau for the Unification of Criminal Laws (IBUCL) in trying to unify national criminal laws under the League.

Operationalising Global Citizenship Education

This article describes the Universal learning Programme, an innovative curriculum framework designed by the International School of Geneva’s La Grande Boissière campus and UNESCO’s International Bureau of Education. The design, scope and reach of the programme operationalises Global Citizenship Education through the development of deep conceptual understanding of relevant domains, the assessment of life-worthy competences and the creation of authentic social impact. It is through this balanced synthesis of learning and innovative task design that all the precepts of Global Citizenship Education are developed and put into concrete practice. The Universal Learning Programme offers e

State primary special standard of length in the field of measurements of deviations from straightness and flatness GET 130-2019

The information on content, theory of operation and metrological concepts of the State primary special standard of length unit in the field of measurements of deviations from straightness and flatness, GET 130-2019, conducted in 2019, is provided. The results of metrological characteristics research of the measuring interference system included in GET 130-2019 are described. With the help of an additional measuring interference system, the unit is reproduced on the basis of fundamental physical constants and the properties of matter – interference, which eliminates additional instrumental sources of errors (uncertainties). The transfer of length in the field of measurements of deviations from straightness and flatness in the range from 0 to 50 μm on the length of the measured surface up to 30 m with the highest accuracy in Russia is ensured. The conducted comparisons proved that metrological characteristics of GET 130-2019 correspond to those presented in the database of measuring capabilities of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) on the already confirmed by means of stationary and autonomous measuring profile length to 5 m, as well as the level of foreign standards, presented in BIPM on the length to 30 m.

The International Bureau of Education: A Precursor of the Unesco and the Factory of its Pedagogical Guidelines? (1934–1968)

Our article contributes to trace the sociogenesis of "educational internationalism" as promoted by the International Bureau of Education when it became an intergovernmental organization in 1929, cooperating with Unesco since 1947, before being fully integrated in 1969. The IBE can be considered as one of the forerunners of Unesco, a kind of factory of its pedagogical guidelines: it develops a modus operandi for producing, through a comparative approach, in as objective and neutral a manner as possible, knowledge concerning the progress of education in the world and recommendations forming a charter of world aspirations in education. These matters are discussed in International Conferences on Public Education (ICPE). With the birth of Unesco, the IBE negotiates a status of autonomy and collaboration, continuing its technical work based on comparative education. The problems studied, defined by both institutions together, relate to three crucial fields: access to education, curriculum, teacher education. The IBE’s approach is far from being free of tensions: in the results themselves of its work and between the countries participating in IBE’s enquiries and the ICPEs.

O espaço das Conferências Internacionais de Educação (CIEs) da OIE/Unesco e o processo de políticas públicas educativas

Analisa o espaço das Conferências Internacionais de Educação (CIEs) organizadas pelo Escritório Internacional de Educação (OIE) da Unesco e sua relação com o processo de elaboração de políticas públicas na década de 90. Duas questões fundamentais orientaram o artigo: 1) como pode ser definido o espaço das CIEs nos anos 90 e 2) como os processos de globalização e interdependência influenciaram essas conferências. As CIEs foram definidas como um espaço de articulação internacional de relações de poder e de debate sobre as linhas de políticas educativas de dimensões contraditórias. Além disso, foi relevante delimitar dois tipos de conferências: estratégica e protocolar. No caso das CIEs realizadas nos anos 90, o tipo progressivamente predominante é o estratégico, não obstante ainda coexistam práticas rotineiras e protocolares. Palavras-chave: contexto internacional; políticas públicas e educação; conferências internacionais. Abstract It analyzes the space of summit meetings and the processes of definition of public educational policies. It is fundamental to mention that the International Conference on Education (ICE) are sponsored by the International Bureau of Education (IBE), which is a department of Unesco. Two guidelines were of main importance in the writing of this article: the dimension and scope of the ICEs in the nineties and the influence and repercussion of globalization in these meetings. The ICEs were defined as an international forum for discussion of diverse educational politics as well as a center comprised of both strategic and protocol-oriented conferences where we find power relations well represented. In the nineties, most ICEs were strategic rather than protocol-oriented. Keywords: international context, public and education politics, international conferences.
