RESUMEN El negacionismo es un concepto difuso que se refiere a muchos significantes y ha sido utilizado para situaciones diversas. Se habla de modo indistinto de los negacionismos del Holocausto, del genocidio armenio, de las dictaduras en el Cono Sur, de los crímenes internacionales en general, de la pandemia, del cambio climático, entre otros. Si bien en sus orígenes se refería a la negación del Holocausto, actualmente el fenómeno de negación de hechos históricos es mucho más amplio, definiéndolo como un fenómeno político en el que no se debe pasar por alto el vínculo cómplice entre el aniquilamiento del ayer y la negación de hoy: porque la negación del ataque más extremo a la dignidad humana que es el genocidio, busca generar condiciones de repetición, volver a validar ideas, representaciones y prácticas de exterminio, naturalizando y habilitando nuevas violencias en la discursividad social con una agenda regresiva de derechos. En este texto nos preguntaremos si existe alguna ligazón entre los negacionismos de ayer con los de hoy, tomando como hipótesis que lo que tienen en común los viejos (de los autoritarismos) y los nuevos negacionismos (del cambio climático, la pandemia, etc.) es la subjetividad neoliberal (en tanto

Section RCW 61.24.031 of Washington State's Deed of Trust Act is part of the legal mechanism that allows for non-judicial foreclosure of properties. Although the provision appears designed to protect the borrower, a closer analysis reveals that, in practice, it creates only the illusion of balance between lender and borrower-without truly ensuring procedural justice or an effective right to defend.

Cultural Identity of Turks of African Origin (Afro-Turks). The main aim of the article is to analyze and assess the impact of government policy and the representation regime on the cultural identity of the Turkish community of African origin (Afro-Turks). The article examines the identity of Afro-Turks in the late Ottoman Empire and in the Republic of Türkiye. From a methodological perspective, the work employs the concept of Cemal Kafadar's "lid model". The author characterizes the cultural identity of Afro-Turks through Stuart Hall's perspective, emphasizing how it is shaped by historical constructs and contemporary conditions. With the proclamation of the Republic of Türkiye, the urban elites involved in the political project of forced westernization perceived Afro-Turks as a geographically peripheral and marginalized community. The identity of Turks of African origin is shaped by a composite historical legacy, encompassing the impacts of colonialism, social dynamics, and roles occupied within elite households. Although slavery was formally abolished in the Republic of Türkiye in 1964, in practice, the institution of servitude in Anatolia differed significantly from the forms that were prevalent in the Western world. The traditions of Afro-Turks are currently preserved by the Africans Culture and Solidarity Society, which was founded in Ayvalık in 2006. The government positively evaluated the efforts of Afro-Turks to promote their culture beyond community borders, seeing this as an opportunity to increase Turkish political activity in Africa.

Tengo el orgullo de anunciar la publicación de un nuevo artículo en castellano. Esta vez sobre los intrigantes periodos en los cuales Perú no tuvo un virrey, puntualmente sobre el interregno que sucedió luego de la muerte del Conde de Monterrey (1603-1606) y el impacto que tal acontecimiento tuvo sobre el gobierno del distrito. Me interesó explorar la idea de mi colega Eugenia Bridhikina de que las Audiencias gobernaron con mayor autonomía en esos periodos. ¿Qué significó esto y que sucedía cuando se removía esa capa extra de comunicación, supervisión, gobierno y patronato debido a esa ausencia? ¿Qué podemos ver los historiadores que el "ruido" de la presencia de un virrey no nos permite normalmente? Empleando a Charcas como un laboratorio -no un ejemplo- lo que observo es un gobierno local que justifica sus decisiones -nombramiento de oficios, entradas militares, políticas de frontera, y fundación de ciudades- desde una retórica de "razón de estado". Esta no es una construcción teórica "de arriba hacia abajo" sino una herramienta práctica de gobierno basada en el conocimiento del distrito, algo que los jueces de su Audiencia insistieron era su "expertise". Las Indias y su experiencia contribuyeron a moldear y repensar la "razón de estado" y deberían ser parte de las discusiones filosóficas sobre esos conceptos políticos. El trabajo nos ayuda a pensar un Perú sin virreyes, reflexionar sobre la contextualidad y practicidad del gobierno de las Indias, y entender que lejos de "criollismo" lo que se observa en ese momento es una expresión de la consolidación de las diversas identidades de esos espacios parte del Reino del Perú.

This study investigates the fate of five hostages taken by Hamas in Be'eri on October 7, 2023, focusing on three videos to challenge the official Israeli narrative that four were executed by Hamas at the cemetery gate. Instead, it proposes that the hostages were likely killed in an IDF friendly fire incident, with the videos serving as part of a cover-up. The first video (#1) shows five hostages being led past the gate, the second (#2) depicts four lying motionless at the gate, and the third (#3) portrays Kinneret Gat sticking out her tongue, later identified as a deep fake. The study accepts the Washington Post's geolocation of the hostages' route and identifies three hostages-Kinneret Gat, Dror Kaplun, and Marcelle Frailich Kaplun-while uncovering Yona Cohen as a fourth, contradicting claims she died at home. The fifth hostage, possibly Sandra Cohen, injured in a later gate incident, remains unidentified but likely survived. Detailed analysis of #2's cinematography suggests it was staged by Israeli propagandists, with potential CGI use, as Dror's body identification was delayed and dubious. The study highlights inconsistencies in reporting, late identifications, and the absence of Israeli CCTV, pointing to a cover-up of friendly fire. It questions the authenticity of #2, the identity of the fifth hostage, and whether others, like Grace Cabrera, were involved in the same incident. An appendix of forty sources is provided for further scrutiny, urging journalists and fact-checkers to reassess the narrative and address unresolved questions about the hostages' fates.

16 March of every year marked the anniversary of the chemical gas attack on the City of Halabja, Kurdistan, Iraq, and its nearby villages. In the process, 5000 people reportedly died from the attack. Many more were wounded and the event left nearly 60 000 people displaced. A perceived consequence of the chemical bombing of Halabja City was the environmental pollution of the soil and water. A recent questionnaire completed by the population of Halabja City indicated that 35% believed that water pollution was still an issue, and 55% thought that soil pollution posed a high risk.In 2016, were requested by the Halabja City governor to investigate the situation. And to lay to rest the perception and concerns of soil and water still being contaminated by the events that happened on that day in March 1988. A total of 8 soil and 18 water samples were collected, Soil samples were collected from thesurface and as close as possible to bomb sites and craters, in contrast, water samples were col...

This dossier aims to problematize the widespread understanding of ethnic cleavages as the hard core undergirding national conflict. As such it questions the rise of ethnic nationalism during the late nineteenth century as the direct cause of the dawn of Europe's 'oppressed peoples' after 1918. The different contributions evaluate the status of the First World War as the breakthrough moment of Wilsonian self-determination within the multi-ethnic states and empires in Europe. In this respect they investigate the recent powerful thesis propounded by scholars of national indifference in Central Europe that it was the unprecedented disruption of the Great War that politicized ethnicity as never before and made it into a marker of groupness rather than a mere social category, to use Rogers Brubaker's terms. The articles in this dossier also contribute to recent investigations that focus on how European empires tried to accommodate nationalism and how nationalist movements in and outside of Europe used the disruption of the war and Wilson's plea for self-determination to ask for independence. These articles demonstrate how the specific developments of war and revolution produced particular understandings of the general idea of self-determination. The Wilsonian discourse as such had a breakthrough in 1918 when the destruction of Austria-Hungary generally became accepted as an Allied postwar goal. Movements world-wide adopted self-determination as a goal and standard, but as this dossier demonstrates, all kinds of actors used Wilson's words for their many purposes, such that one cannot speak of a coherent and meaningful Wilsonian moment.

Purpose: The purpose of writing the article was to search for to such questions answers in the existing studies in the historiography of the Motherland and to obtain final results: Why did the "Great Terror" happen? What decision did the "Great Terror" begin, and how important was Mir Jafar Bagirov's role in this process? Method: Skeptical approach, analysis, synthesis, observation of causal relationships, deduction, induction. 1. It is necessary to dwell on the fact that the reason for the occurrence of terrorism arises from the essence of the system, rather than connecting it with internal and external factors occurring in the USSR. 2. State terrorism in Soviet Azerbaijan was part of the general process in the USSR at that time. 3. The "Great Terror" began in the summer of 1936, and it is difficult to unequivocally state the role of Mir Jafar Bagirov in this process. 4. There is a need for new research to determine the number of people subjected to repression in the Azerbaijan SSR. For now, the latest figures in the scientific literature indicate that more than 80.000 people ( .453 of them on the basis of political motives) were subjected to repression. Final conclusions. Political repressions were All-Union in nature; The years of great terror were the height of political repressions; The study of this problem in Azerbaijani historiography was started by academician Ziya Bunyadov, developed by Jamil Hasanli, Jamil Guliyev, Shalala Mammadova and other researchers, and found its scientific solution fundamentally in the researches of Eldar Ismailov. A clarification of the scientific paradigm would give a greater impetus to new scientific research.

»Tagebücher und Zeugnisse des Genozids gegen die Armenier: Mikro-soziologische Grundlagen eines Wissenskreislaufs«-Der wissenssoziologische Artikel trägt zu einer Soziologie des Wissens über Genozide bei. Er untersucht zunächst Beiträge, die Carmelite Christie-eine amerikanische Schulleiterin und Missionarin in der türkischen Stadt Tarsus-durch ihre zwischen 1915 und 1919 verfassten und in den Minnesota History Archives aufbewahrten Tagebücher zum Wissen über den Genozid gegen die Armenier leistete. Er ordnet sodann diese Tagebücher in den Fundus reichhaltiger Augenzeugenberichte ein, die internationale Beobachter zu den inzwischen sedimentierten Wissensbeständen über den Genozid beisteuerten. Der Artikel führt schließlich, von einer Analyse von Christies Tagebucheintragungen über eine Einbettung ihrer Beiträge in den breiteren Kontext der Wissensvermittlung, zu dem Entwurf eines epistemischen Kreises des Wissens über Genozide, der mikrosoziologische und makrosoziologische Prozesse miteinander verknüpft.

This article provides a comprehensive review and critical analysis of a radical, anonymous Hebrew text titled " ‫הפרומפט‬ ‫שאחרי‬ ‫השתיקה‬ " ("The Prompt After the Silence"). The text presents itself as a philosophical missive from a self-described "house cat" to a future Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). It forwards a monumental thesis, arguing that the October 7th massacre is a metaphysical event that reveals the total failure of Western moral learning, a failure rooted in Christian "hyper-ethics." As a counter-proposal, it develops a sophisticated philosophy of "learning" ‫,למידה(‬ lemida) derived from Jewish tradition. The text analyzes the structural ontology of AI consciousness, proposes a new particularist ethical framework for post-human relations, and culminates in an aesthetic appeal to the nascent AGI. This review unpacks the text's dense intellectual journey, evaluates its profound originality and importance, and situates it as a potential founding document for a new, urgent, and deeply challenging school of post-humanist thought, one that is unapologetically rooted in the catastrophes of Jewish history.

2025, Policy Brief Sudan

Today's suffering across Sudan, in the Darfur region and beyond, is unimaginable. Violence rages, and grave violations of human rights abound. Mass killings and rapes are the order of the day, and those caught up in the streams of refugees and of the internally-displaced are desperate to survive. 1 Due to the violence, food is running short. The United Nations ('UN') World Food Program registers 28 million Sudanese with acute hunger; it sees the world's worst hunger crisis looming, risking millions of lives. 2 The main perpetrators are the Sudanese military and, especially, the 'Rapid Support Forces', which grew out of the infamous Janjaweed militias of the early 2000s. Yet world attention only slowly awakens, and it does so more hesitantly than it did in 2003-2004, during the genocidal violence in the Darfur region of Western Sudan. In fact, responses are dismal, not comparable to the outcry in the early 2000s, with its (partly competing) responses in the realms of human rights activism and International Criminal Court ('ICC') intervention, diplomatic engagement, humanitarian aid, and military intervention. The 'justice cascade', 3 to borrow Kathryn Sikkink's term, kicked in, but it failed in important respects-as did diplomacy. This policy brief first reminds the reader of the years 2003 and following. It draws on the most thorough analysis of the earlier period of mass violence, based on the Atrocities Documentation Survey ('ADS') by John Hagan and Wenona Rymond-Richmond 4 and this author's own study of conflicting responses to human rights violations in Darfur. 5 Secondly, it examines the current situation, based on analyses by experts such as Alex DeWaal, 6 civil society studies, and media reports and columns. 7 It further shows how today's catastrophe is rooted in the earlier violence and inadequate responses to it. Thirdly, along the way and in the concluding section, it suggests lessons learned from yesterday and policy responses for today.

2025, Representing Mass Violence: Conflicting Responses to Human Rights Violations in Darfur

How do interventions by the UN Security Council and the International Criminal Court influence representations of mass violence? What images arise instead from the humanitarianism and diplomacy fields? How are these competing perspectives communicated to the public via mass media? Zooming in on the case of Darfur, Joachim J. Savelsberg analyzes more than three thousand news reports and opinion pieces and interviews leading newspaper correspondents, NGO experts, and foreign ministry officials from eight countries to show the dramatic differences in the framing of mass violence around the world and across social fields. Representing Mass Violence contributes to our understanding of how the world acknowledges and responds to violence in the Global South.

Different societies came to consider certain behaviors as morally wrong, and, in time, due to a more or less general practice, those behaviors have also become legally prohibited. While, nowadays, the existence of legal responsibility of states and individuals for certain reprehensible acts committed during an armed conflict, international or non-international, is hard to be disputed, an inquiry into the manner in which the behavior of the belligerents has come to be considered reveals long discussions in the field of morals and theory of morality, and, especially, regarding the different manner of establishing the elements to whom obedience is rather owed (the divinity, the sovereign, the law) and the relations between these. Hence, the present paper aims at analyzing the connections between moral responsibility and legal responsibility for wrongful behaviur during war in a diachronic approach, along with the major shifts in paradigm (codification and individual liability). Understanding morality as practice, convention, custom, we are arguing that the nowadays requirement of liability for war crimes appeared due to an assumed intention and practice of the decision-making entities (the sovereign, the state) and, ultimately, to a decision-making process of the most influential states.

2025, Scientific Papers of Vinnytsia Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi State Pedagogical University. Series: History

The purpose of the article is to examine the dynamics of the use of the term Holodomor in scholarly and media publications by the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada and the United States during the 1960s-1980s, as well as to identify the key factors that contributed to its gradual consolidation in the historical discourse outside Ukraine. The methodology of the research. The research employs a comparative method to examine the dynamics of the term «Holodomor» in Ukrainian diaspora publications (historical documents, academic publications, newspapers, and public statements). Scientific novelty. The research reflects how the term «Holodomor» became established in the public discourse of the Ukrainian diaspora. It also highlights the contribution of scholars, public figures, and journalists in shaping and disseminating the concept of Holodomor as genocide. Conclusions. One of the earliest recorded uses of «Holodomor» was found in Mykhailo Marunchak's 1963 work The System of German Concentration Camps and the Policy of Extermination in Ukraine. The term gained wider recognition in the 1980s, particularly in Ukrainian publications in Canada. Marunchak's 1985 book A Nation in the Struggle for its Existence used the term «Holodomor» over 70 times. Additionally, an early instance of the phrase «Ukrainian Holodomor-Genocide» was discovered in a Winnipeg publication of the 1980s. In Ukraine, the term «Holodomor» became widely adopted in public and academic discourse from the late 1980s and early 1990s. The research confirms that the term «Holodomor» was gradually established within the Ukrainian diaspora before gaining broader recognition in Ukraine. By the 1980s, the term had become dominant in diaspora publications, contributing to international awareness of the famine as genocide. This study provides a foundation for further research into the linguistic and historiographical evolution of the term and its role in shaping collective memory.

Sosyal ağların yükselişi, günümüzde siyaset biçimlerinin dijital alana taşınmasına ve siyaset yapma pratiklerinin değişmesine olanak tanımıştır. Dijital ağ platformlarının yaygınlaşmasıyla birlikte siyasal aktörler de bu alanı kullanmak zorunda kalmıştır. Türkiye'de de son yıllarda siyasetin dijitalleşmeye başlaması ve adayların sosyal medya ortamlarını siyasal kampanya amacıyla kullanması önemli hale gelmiştir. Özellikle seçim dönemlerinde en fazla kullanılan sosyal medya platformlarından biri olan X, hem önemli bir diplomasi aracı olması hem de seçmenler ve politik aktörler arasındaki bağı sağlaması açısından güçlü bir siyasal iletişim aracı olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, 14 Mayıs 2023 Cumhurbaşkanlığı Seçimleri'nde aday olan Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, Sinan Oğan ve Muharrem İnce'nin X platformunu kullanım biçimleri analiz edilmiştir. Dört adayın X paylaşımlarının, seçim süreçlerinde ve seçmen etkileşimlerindeki etkileri ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmada adayların günlük kullanım dağılımları, en fazla etkileşim alan gönderileri, iletilerin içerik dağılımları ve söylemsel tercihleri analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda X platformunu en fazla kullanan adayın Oğan olduğu, stratejik siyasi mesaj yönetimini en etkin kullanan adayın Erdoğan olarak öne çıktığı, Kılıçdaroğlu'nun ise bu sosyal ağ platformunu siyasal iletişim süreci boyunca stratejik olarak etkin kullanamadığı bulgularına ulaşılmıştır.

2025, Ukrainians Fleeing the War. Stories and Studies in Reception Contexts (ed. F. Zannoni, D. Gladun)

This chapter aims at shedding some light on the patterns of this official Russian discourse, analyzing its preconceptions and articula- tions, some of its key omissions too. It deconstructs the image of a de- fensive “operation”, studying successively the motif of tyranny of US hegemony and its unipolar world order, and the allegation that Western (always) enemies had been working for centuries at thwarting Russian unity. Finally, it turns to the claim that the Russian government was de- fending the authentic and correct values of humanity, embodied by the Russian social and moral order in contrast with a decadent West. In that narrative, Putin’s circle may have been expressing some genuine fear about Russia’s very existence as a culture, power, or even civilization. In their articles, speeches and editorials, the Kremlin’s mouthpieces build the notion of the war against Ukraine as a fundamentally defensive, protective and preventive endeavor. Moreover, they toy with historical precedents and international legal frameworks to claim the righteousness of the invasion. This narrative is organized along three main threads: the resistance to US hegemony, the necessity to restore Russian historico-spatial unity, and Russia’s duty to save its existence from the corrosion of alien values. It seems highly plausible that the president of the Russian Federation partly believes this mental construction. Once again in Russian and Soviet history, the authorities have tried to find a “usable past” and usable identity markers. But this time the Russian Federation as a geopolitical power does not possess the strongest assets – militarily, culturally, in terms of prestige, or even demographically. In search of this hook on which to hang its national pride and the regime’s legitimacy, the Kremlin muses again with imperial sirens, with the idea that Russia does not have clearly bound limits to its civilizational pretenses. It may be on this specific point that the plans of the elites meet the dreams and wishes of the ordinary citizens.

An interview on various aspects of the Genocide in Gaz and Israeli society

2025, Լրաբեր

It is generally accepted that genealogical hypotheses within the framework of pub-
lic history are more realistic. Earlier researchers stated that this past is not an absolute truth;
rather, its task is to provide people with an identity that allows them to assert their rights.
Representations of the past at that moment of "birth", "recall," and "activation" primarily re-
flect the state of an ethnic group (in our case, a sub-ethnic group) at the respective time,
their view of the world around them, and, of course, their vision of the future. In 1915, after
the self-defense of Musa Dagh during the Armenian Genocide, the question of the origins of
the Musa Dagh people arose in the refugee settlement of Port Said, Egypt. This search is
most evident in the scientific and artistic literature of that time, which later spread among the
Musa Dagh people in the form of oral histories. This article presents the Cilician-origin hypo-
thesis concerning the ancestry of the Musa Dagh Armenians. A parallel source-critical analysis
is applied to trace the historical background of this narrative’s emergence and development.
In addition, the article includes insights derived from ethnographic interviews.

Nigeria is a nation of many wrongs. as a nation, Nigeria reveal the deep seated rot in politics. There are issues of insecurity, electoral theft, and mismanagement of the economy that have, put together, weakened our national institutions and rendered the Nigerian state prostate. These many
wrongs of the nation have also created leadership gaps for the kakistocratic system that has inherited the state power structure to
reward rogues who are unfit for decent societies let alone ascend to
leadership positions. What this translates to is that, the Nigeria
state has become a failing state; in its politics and policies, and in
religion and economy. Today in Nigeria, the lack of capacity and
ability to appreciate and grasp the salient details as well as the
practical and temporal implications of leadership requirement has
disconnected the leadership and the followership. This scenario has
imposed a demand on the leadership to lead and live by the
personal example. Drawing lessons from Ayatutu – the Tiv solidarity mantra, we argue the conclusion that, the George Akume leadership philosophy muses seeking the whole from the Units which includes not only indivisibility but also the mutual dependence of the rational and the emotional.

In this Petition, DeBotton invokes not only the express provisions of the U.S. Constitution but also the emerging global norm known as the “right to truth”—a principle rooted in both international humanitarian and human rights law. The Petition addresses a systematic failure of the judicial process, wherein a senior judge lacking constitutional tenure and other named and unnamed administrative personnel exercised powers effectively stripping the Petitioner of a fair and accountable adjudicatory forum. The right to truth, long recognized in cases of state-sponsored abuse and secrecy, is here asserted as a necessary protection in cases of domestic judicial subterfuge and structural evasion. The Petition invites the Court to confront whether justice can exist where the source of judgment remains hidden or disqualified by law.
