I made this for my Western Civ II class on April 27, 2017. I couldn't find anything online that dealt with these issues, so I cobbled this together from a lot of sources. It's rough, but I think the material is important so I wanted to get it out into the public arena.
Unstoppable fear meets immovable humiliation
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: he Israeli-Palestinian conflict is really about fear vs. humiliation. The Jews are fearful of the Palestinians and the Palestinians feel humiliated by the Jews. The Jewish people collectively suffer post-traumatic stress and anxiety disorders after millennia of persecution culminating in the Holocaust and multiple Wars in Israel against far greater Arab forces. Further, this has been perpetuated by decades of terrorism and Intifadas that have left the Jews feeling vulnerable in their own land of Israel. The net effect of this Jewish history and of being surrounded by hundreds of millions of Arabs, many resentful and angry, is that Jews are naturally afraid. At the same time, the Palestinians, as part of the greater Arabs, feel humiliated after the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the carving up of their lands by the West and the colonialism and occupation that followed by Britain and France. More recently, the Palestinians feel humiliated by the founding of the State of Israel amidst the multitude of Arab lands of the Middle of East, as well as by the barrier wall and regular checkpoints that protects Israel from terrorist intruders, by the West Bank settlements (and actually by Jews anywhere in Israel), and by general Israeli military control over the territories.

Tracking the Birth Pains Wars & Rumors of Wars 2015 Ed.
There are currently over 50 armed conflicts happening globally. Over 100,000 deaths have occurred in 2015 alone from warfare. The document focuses on 6 specific ongoing wars - in Afghanistan, Iraq, Nigeria, Syria, South Sudan, and Yemen. It notes the death tolls, participants, and status of each conflict. It also mentions rumors circulating online that increased geopolitical tensions could lead to World War III, as tensions rise between countries like Russia and Turkey in Syria. The document suggests these "wars and rumors of wars" may be a sign that troubling times are ahead based on a biblical prophecy.

Operation Cast Lead By Stuart Levy UJA Shaliach
Operation Cast Lead was Israel's defensive military campaign against Hamas in Gaza from December 2008 to January 2009. Israel launched air strikes and a ground operation in response to Hamas breaking a ceasefire and firing over 3,000 rockets into southern Israel in 2008 alone. The operation aimed to stop weapons smuggling into Gaza and bring about a lasting peace with Hamas, allowing Israel to ensure its survival. People were encouraged to support Israel during this time through staying informed, attending solidarity events, and praying for the protection of Israeli citizens and soldiers.
Peshawar attack
1) The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility for a terrorist attack on an army-run school in Peshawar, Pakistan that killed over 130 people, mostly children, describing it as revenge for military operations against them.
2) Survivors of the attack revealed the horror of seeing teachers and students killed by nine Taliban gunmen who bombed and shot inside the school.
3) The attack was strongly condemned around the world and in Pakistan, where it was referred to as the country's "9/11" and the 16th of December was declared a national day of mourning.
Terrorism in Pakistan
Terrorism threatens humanity, society, and economies around the world. It has caused tremendous loss of life in many countries, including Pakistan, leaving widows, orphans, and demolished assets. However, Muslims are often wrongly labeled and blamed as terrorists due to biased media control and propaganda spread by non-Muslim nations. Pakistan in particular has suffered greatly from numerous terrorist attacks over the years, damaging its image, though the root causes are poverty, injustice, and international politics rather than any one religion. Addressing these social and economic issues is key to reducing terrorism long term.
Difficulties of muslims in today world
About 30 of the some 50 countries that currently outlaw blasphemy, according to a 2014 Pew Research Center report, are majority Muslim. Beyond the expected theocracies like Saudi Arabia, this includes states with aspirations to democracy and modernity like Turkey, Malaysia, Egypt, Pakistan, and Indonesia, which is officially secular but home to a population that is about 87 percent Muslim.
The use of the charge ranges from the nominal to the horrifying. Since 2016, the Egyptian poet Fatima Naoot has been serving a three-year prison sentence for criticizing the slaughter of animals during Eid al-Fitr on Facebook. A Malaysian man was charged with blasphemy for posing questions to his religion teachers. Even the mere accusation of blasphemy poses the threat of violence:

An attack in Damascus, Syria killed approximately 1400 people using the neurotoxin Sarin. Secretary of State John Kerry met with foreign diplomats to seek support for a potential US attack on Syria. Only four countries supported the US: France, Saudi Arabia, Canada, and Turkey. Putin believes Assad was not responsible for the attack and sent Russian ships to the area, preventing military violence. The Obama administration worries that Syria sets a bad example for Iran. Israel is concerned for its safety. Ultimately, Obama decided not to attack Syria and instead have Russia monitor and destroy Syria's chemical weapons by mid-2014.

This document provides a summary of a thesis proposal on modifying urban activation through consumer culture and media. The proposal investigates the relationship between urbanites, architecture, and media in cities with high population densities. It aims to develop parameters from research to design a code that reactivates the connection between urbanites, streets, and architecture by translating programming through consumer culture. This code would create an interactive facilitator within the urban fabric and activate users through adaptive and responsive mechanisms.

Marine Energy in Australia and New Zealand: Regulatory Barriers and Policy Me...
Marine energy development in Australia and New Zealand faces regulatory and policy barriers. There are approximately 15 marine energy companies in Australia with 10 small pilot projects in development. The sector requires a comprehensive policy framework to support emerging technologies from research to full-scale demonstration. Current barriers include a lack of specific regulations, expensive and inefficient environmental impact assessment processes, uncertain exploration licensing, and costly grid connection requirements. Adopting measures used internationally could help overcome these barriers, such as graded environmental assessments, consolidated licensing systems, prototype zones, reformed grid connection rules, and financial incentives like feed-in tariffs and grants.
Encouragement
Encouragement is important for helping others achieve their goals and feel supported. Providing positive feedback and believing in someone can boost their confidence and motivation to keep trying during challenges. Small acts of kindness, like telling someone you appreciate their efforts, can make a big difference in how they feel about themselves.

Youth and HIV/AIDS
The UN Programme on Youth is hosting a briefing session on Friday, March 25th from 1:15-2:30pm in Conference Room 6 at UN Headquarters to discuss youth and HIV/AIDS. The panel will discuss the role young people play in HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention and management as well as the role of the UN in supporting young people and halting the spread of HIV infections. Of the 33.4 million people living with HIV worldwide, 4.9 million are between the ages of 15-24, so programs must focus on at-risk youth behaviors to curb the epidemic in countries with concentrated epidemics, and target all vulnerable young people, especially young women, in countries with generalized epidemics.

The document discusses the plight of children and youth affected by armed conflict. It notes that children experience suffering such as death, injury, lack of access to education and healthcare. While girls face disproportionate targeting, boys also experience sexual violence. The UN has worked to draw attention to these issues and protect children's rights through the appointment of a Special Representative and cooperation between agencies. Notable progress includes the release of thousands of child soldiers and a commitment to impose sanctions on persistent violators of children's rights.Children in Danger: Act to End Violence Against Children
Every five minutes, a child is killed by violence, a new report by UNICEF UK said. A majority of these deaths occur outside of war zones. The report, published this week by the UK branch of the United Nations children’s agency, said that violence kills more than 340 people under the age of 20 every day around the globe. Seventy-five percent of these deaths are reportedly caused by interpersonal violence, rather than war.

Convention rights-child-at-crossroads-2019
The Convention on the Rights of the Child has had a profound influence since its adoption 30 years ago. It established that all children have universal, inalienable rights regardless of their background. As a result of the Convention, child mortality has declined dramatically, more children are in school, and children are increasingly seen as rights holders rather than passive objects of aid. However, challenges remain in fully realizing children's rights, especially for the most marginalized. Progress must be accelerated to achieve the vision of the Convention by its 30th anniversary and beyond.

The program aims to develop volunteers' skills while they help achieve UN development goals. UNV supports the volunteers through training, guidance and career assistance. Assignments can be national or international, last from 3 months to 2 years, and are financed through UN partners, donor governments, universities or trust funds.
Children In Armed Conflict
The document discusses child soldiering and international efforts to address it. It begins by providing context on child soldiering as a historical phenomenon and estimates that 300,000 children currently serve as soldiers worldwide. It then outlines international legal frameworks like the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Rome Statute establishing the International Criminal Court, and UN initiatives to monitor and address the issue. It discusses how child soldiers are recruited and used, countries where the problem is most prevalent, and challenges to rehabilitation. It also summarizes key international court cases prosecuting crimes of enlisting child soldiers and efforts of the ICC and Trust Fund for Victims to support victims.

This report examines stigma faced by survivors of sexual violence in conflict zones. It draws on interviews with over 400 survivors and community members in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The report finds that stigma poses tremendous barriers to recovery for survivors and hinders their ability to seek justice against perpetrators. It presents recommendations to address stigma and ensure justice for survivors from their perspective, including calling on governments to take action to establish a world where sexual violence is unacceptable.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteUniversity of North Carolina at Charlotte
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

The session is being held in the context of the International Year of Youth. A panel discussion, moderated by Ms Chantale Walker, the Permanent Mission of Canada to the United Nations, will see young people, member states and UN experts (see below) discuss violations and abuses of young people in conflict zones, including attacks on schools and hospitals.

These violations are: the recruitment and use of children; the killing and maiming of children; the use of sexual violence against children, abductions of children, attacks on schools and hospitals, and the denial of humanitarian access for children. The briefing session will look at the international response to these violations and at how young people involved in conflict can be better protected by the UN and international community. The event will also include testimonies of former child soldiers and the work being carried out to rehabilitate young people affected by conflict. The UN Programme on Youth has organized this session as one of a series held to celebrate the International Year of Youth (2010‐2011) under the theme “Dialogue and Mutual Understanding”.
