Part three will discuss the only solution that could allow freedom to live on beyond this generation.

Reports of sexual violence in armed conflict frequently appear in political discussions and news media, presenting a stark contrast to a long history of silence and nonrecognition. Conflict-related sexual violence has transitioned rapidly from a neglected human rights issue to an unambiguous security concern on the agendas of powerful states and the United Nations Security Council. Through interviews and primary-source evidence, Kerry F. Crawford investigates the reasons for this dramatic change and the implications of the securitization of sexual violence.

In We Can't Say We Didn't Know, Sophie tells the human stories of devastation and hope behind the headlines – of children, families and refugees, of valiant doctors, steadfast dissidents and Saudi women seeking asylum. These innocent civilians bear the brunt of the lawlessness of the current age of impunity, where war crimes go unpunished and human rights are abused. Many risk everything they know to stand up for what they believe in and to be on the right side of history and their courage is extraordinary and inspiring.

Osorno plasma algo más que la simple resistencia de aquellos que sufren los embates del México Violento y su panda de corruptos: la dimensión heroica de quienes deciden poner un límite y oponerse a la impunidad; la gesta individual, solitaria, de quienes luchan a contracorriente para salvar lo que aún no ha sucumbido al naufragio.

Hösten 1862 besökte Abraham Lincoln unionens läger vid Sharpsburg i Maryland. Han hade två år tidigare valts till USA:s 16:e president, och inbördeskriget rasade. Mellan nord och syd hade det länge rått oenighet om rätten att ha slavar, och med valet av Lincoln som president eskalerade konflikten till fullt krig. Sydstaterna lämnade unionen, medan Nordstaterna försökte upprätthålla dess auktoritet.

Cosa si prova a salvare vite nel Mediterraneo? Per capirlo puoi solo salire a bordo. "Nel Mediterraneo la vita la cerchi, la perdi o la trovi, e questa riduzione all'essenziale è potentissima. Senza orpelli, senza scappatoie, ti lascia a nudo confronto con una nuda alternativa, ti spoglia come l'acqua. Ma la chiave per capirlo non è il sentimento della morte. È il sentimento della vita". In questi anni, le navi delle Ong che soccorrono i migranti sono state al centro di polemiche e narrazioni ostili. Ma pochi conoscono quello che succede davvero a bordo.

It aims to support such a call by providing essential information based on real facts and events; the truth of which, no one can deny. I have always tried to make this book echo reality in a way that makes people aware of the need to abolish racism, xenophobia, and the air of the ethnic cleansing trend.

In 2013, Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani was illegally detained on Manus Island. He has been there ever since. This book is the result. Laboriously tapped out on a mobile phone and translated from the Farsi. It is a voice of witness, an act of survival. A lyric firsthand account. A cry of resistance. A vivid portrait through five years of incarceration and exile.
