• Cyberconflits : vers la première cyberguerre

  12 mai 2008, par Ifrah Laurence
  Depuis quelques mois, les systèmes d’information des pays occidentaux sont victimes d’attaques virulentes provenant de la RPC (République populaire de Chine). Organisées ou non par l’Armée populaire de libération de la Chine (APL) il n’y a aucun doute sur le fait qu’elles proviennent de pirates informatiques (hackers) de haut niveau qui ont bénéficié de moyens techniques et financiers importants complétés par des informations précises sur les infrastructures de leurs cibles.

• Is terrorism distinctively wrong ?

  28 février 2008, par McPherson Lionel K
  Peut-on considérer que le terrorisme est moralement différent de la guerre traditionnelle ? Il s’agit d’une violence politique très comparable et la mise en avant de l’argument des morts de civils est bien peu convaincant : on estime que dans les guerres récentes ce sont à peu près 80% de civils qui ont été tués.

• The United States of America and international law

  27 February 2007, by Conseil de l’Europe
  Although the United States of America (US), an observer to the Council of Europe, remains strongly committed to international law, the American administration has, especially since 11 September 2001 and in pursuit of its so-called «war on terror», inappropriately and unilaterally disregarded key human rights and humanitarian legal norms considered by it to be overly constraining or otherwise inappropriate in view of the perceived new situation. In so doing, it has done a disservice to the cause of justice and rule of law and has tarnished its reputation as a beacon in defending human rights and in upholding well-established rules of international law.

• Beyond and Before the Law at Guantanamo

  12 July 2006, by Cutler Schershow Scott , Michaelson Scott
  The article explores the status of the Guantanamo detainees and argues that the category of ‘unlawful combatant’ has always been foundational to the laws of war, being applied to ‘spies’ or other irregular participants in an armed conflict. Thus, the predicament of the Guantanamo detainees is ‘the very manifestation of the existing state system and its corollary values’. Critics of Guantanmo cannot rely on international law or in the exercise of sovereignty. The authors’ suggestion is that sovereignty itself must be torqued in a strange reversal, and made to work against itself. Sovereignty must be ‘expended without reserve in the name, not of law, but of justice, to the point where the territory and its boundary tremble’.

• In Times, in and as Global Conflict

  23 May 2006, by ephemera collective
  In this issue of ephemera we publish a range of papers that engage with theory and politics in the organisation of global conflicts. Across these works, time - the time of their objects, and the time of their objects’ having been thought as such - are rendered salient. Here, conflict - as itself a site of object and of subject - theory, episteme, practical life - is revealed, intimately, emergent as the organisation of these. To point to the global of conflict, then, harks as much to the schizoid and conflictual singularities of the present of historical thought thinking its own objects - its possibilities and its pasts - as it harks to singularities in the geographies and scalings of its present.

• Letter of Mahmood Ahmadi-Najad (Iran) to Georges Bush (USA)

  15 May 2006, by Ahmadi-Najad Mahmood
  For sometime now I have been thinking, how one can justify the undeniable contradictions that exist in the international arena — which are being constantly debated, specially in political forums and amongst university students. Many questions remain unanswered. These have prompted me to discuss some of the contradictions and questions, in the hopes that it might bring about an opportunity to redress them.
