Lost in Digital Translation: Forging a Common Approach to Technology in a Cross-Cultural Saharan Archives Initiative
In the fall of 2024, a political scientist and an archivist from Seton Hall University embarked on a project to survey, and ultimately digitize the archives of the Polisario Front, the Sahrawi government in exile. This government is a co-founder of the African Union, a consultative member of the Socialist International, and is recognized by the United Nations as the legitimate representative of the Sahrawi people—and yet its records are almost inaccessible, kept in their original formats in a repository in a refugee camp near Tindouf, Algeria—a location difficult if not impossible for most researchers to visit. The Sahrawi government prioritizes and supports the preservation of its records, which range from early archeological artifacts to photographs, documents, and audiovisual recordings documenting the Western Sahara conflict which began in the 1970s. They were open to partnering with Seton Hall on the digitization project in order to raise awareness of their history and current struggle. However, one of the main barriers to the project’s success turned out to be Sahrawi archivists’ leeriness of using standard digital tools. This reluctance originates in difficult experience where copies of their materials were made and distributed without authorization. Building consensus around the technological approach to the project of digitizing the materials emerged as a crucial precursor to undertaking the work of the project. More than just a methodological stumbling block, it represents in microcosm a process of building trust and creating habits of communication and coordination.

Since the Taliban’s return in 2021, Taliban as a pro-Pashtun movement, have launched a systematic campaign against human rights in Afghanistan that affects all ethnic minority groups including Turkish minorities Kyrgyz Uzbeks Tatar Hazara Qizilbash. Taliban fighters have been accused of helping to forcibly evict Turkish minorities in northern Afghanistan, with the evictions targeting members of the ethnic mainly Uzbek, Turkmen and Hazara communities. Ethnic Uzbeks and Turkmen allege that Pashtuns seized their homes and land in the northern province of Jowzjan with the help of the Taliban. As a de-facto non-recognized government in Afghanistan by any States and the United Nations, the Taliban claims to be the de-jure government by the right of conquest of the capital in a civil war under the customary international law. On the other hand, the legal government of Afghanistan recognized by the United Nations, after its defeat in the civil war, still does not recognized as a government in exile with the capacity of signing international treaties by the United Nations. The recognition of the legal government of Afghanistan by the United Nations and the member States as the “government in exile” is the most important paramount to achieve the protection the Turkish Minorities from ethnic cleansing campaigns of the Taliban. The legality of the “government in exile of Afghanistan” within the United Nations legal system depends on the existing on whether Taliban is an occupying power in Kabul or not. This article aims to prove the existing legal background of the government in exile of Afghanistan for the first time int eh world. Keywords: Afghanistan, Taliban, Government in Exile, Kyrgyz, Uzbeks

Writing the history of Western Sahara can be difficult insofar as it means breaking the silence surrounding the territory and its population, the Sahrawi, whose existence as political subjects is often denied. In 1975, without consulting its inhabitants, Madrid ceded the territory of Western Sahara, a Spanish colonial possession since 1884, to the Kingdom of Morocco and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania. A first Sahrawi nationalist movement was born in the late 1960s, but the Spanish authorities harshly repressed it. In May 1973, the Polisario Front was born, and the United Nations recognized it as the legitimate representative of the Sahrawi people in May 1975. Until 1991, Libya and Algeria supported it in an asymmetrical war in which it defeated Mauritania (1979) and contained the Moroccan army. On September 6, 1991, Morocco and the Polisario Front signed an armistice under the auspices of the United Nations that provided for the establishment of a UN mission (MINURSO) and a referendum on self-determination. Thirty years on, however, the Sahrawi people remain divided: many have lived in refugee camps near Tindouf (Algeria) since 1975, some inhabit Moroccan-controlled areas (80 percent of the territory), and others live in the diaspora. On November 13, 2020, after a breach of military agreements by Morocco, the Polisario Front declared the ceasefire null and void. The war resumed and remains ongoing. Western Sahara has thus been at the center of a decolonization conflict since 1975. In this conflict, history has been brought into play to justify the legitimacy of one position or the other, often highlighting positions that do not take into account the complexity of political and social processes. The two sides have systematically interpreted the various events in light of the conflict, generating multiple, contradictory narratives. According to Sahrawi nationalists, for example, the Sahrawi people have existed since the dawn of history. In the refugee camps of Tindouf, one often encounters narratives according to which the rock art of the Western Sahara territory is a direct and uninterrupted testimony of a Sahrawi people who have existed since prehistoric times. From Morocco’s perspective, by contrast, the Saharan territory has always been part of the Kingdom of Morocco, as if Morocco always existed in this form and was not itself the result of a long historical process. Indeed, it is often forgotten that the parameters of territorial sovereignty in this area did not exist prior to European colonization—a reality obscured by Morocco’s claims. It is evident that writing the history of Western Sahara and its population is an impossible undertaking; it is therefore much more honest to propose a probable historical reconstruction, based on the rigorous interpretation of archival documents and testimonies collected within the framework of scientific research projects. Even so, such an undertaking can only ever be a subjective interpretation, mediated by knowledge but without any pretense of objectivity.

In the midst of the Second World War, the Allies acknowledged Germany's ongoing programme of extermination. In the Shadow of the Holocaust examines the struggle to attain post-war justice and prosecution. Focusing on Poland's engagement with the United Nations War Crimes Commission, it analyses the different ways that the Polish Government in Exile (based in London from 1940) agitated for an Allied response to German atrocities. Michael Fleming shows that jurists associated with the Government in Exile made significant contributions to legal debates on war crimes and, along with others, paid attention to German crimes against Jews. By exploring the relationship between the UNWCC and the Polish War Crimes Office under the authority of the Polish Government in Exile and later, from the summer of 1945, the Polish Government in Warsaw, Fleming provides a new lens through which to examine the early stages of the Cold War.

Reviewed by: Diplomacy Arabic: An Essential Vocabulary by Elisabeth Kendall and Yehia A. Mohamed Mouloud Siber Elisabeth Kendall and Yehia A. Mohamed. Diplomacy Arabic: An Essential Vocabulary. Georgetown UP, 2020. 96 p. An Arabic-English dictionary, Diplomatic Arabic: An Essential Vocabulary encompasses most of the specific vocabulary used in diplomatic communication. Each entry begins with Arabic followed by its English translation. In their introduction, the authors acknowledge the growing, even urgent, need for publishing this type of material and follow it with a brief overview of its ten chapters, which are "internally ordered according to semantic field" (1). The first chapter, labeled "General," introduces a list of the principal vocabulary used in diplomacy. Some of these include diplomacy, the international order, principle/doctrine, colonialism, Arab World, The Middle East. This general listing continues in "Concepts and Practices," which is mostly theoretical. It deals with terminology commonly used in political science and philosophy: populism, neo-liberalism, Marxism, racism, utopianism, and others. The authors return to these chapters by dividing the words and expressions among the following chapters based on their lexical fields. "Diplomatic Service and Protocol" breaks away from theory and enumerates terminology mostly connected to diplomatic practice like diplomatic corps, ambassador, chief of protocol, form of address, diplomatic invitation. The "Organizations" chapter lists lexis endemic to inter/national and regional diplomatic organizations and entities and includes generic words like institution, organ, agency. As well, there are more specific terms like United Nations Organization, World Bank, United Nations Children's Fund, Amnesty International, European Union. The fifth chapter is devoted to vocabulary that connects diplomacy to "Elections and Government". It embodies a list of terms and phrases pertaining to government and the electoral process, including election, referendum, candidate, absolute majority, [End Page 231] Parliament. This chapter mostly relates to internal political affairs of countries. The sixth, however, is directly linked to a major objective of diplomacy, namely holding "Negotiations" among countries. It includes an informed list of words and expressions that describe negotiation as a major practice in diplomacy. Among these are negotiations, building consensus, consultation, mediation. "Treaties and Agreements" is allocated to the end-result of negotiations, namely reaching agreements and signing treaties and includes: agreement/treaty, declaration, commercial treaty, Free Trade Agreement, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and Geneva Convention. The seventh chapter, "Conflict Resolution and Defense," deals with another result of the diplomatic practice related to implementing peace within and among conflicting countries. It begins with the semantic of field of conflict with vocabulary like armed conflict, war crime, genocide, prisoner of war and moves to terms associated with their resolution like conflict mediation, dispute settlement, disarmament/demilitarization, peace keeping forces and so on. The last two, "Civil Society and Human Rights" and "Globalization and Economic Development" embody vocabulary related to a world where people enjoy fundamental human rights and economic prosperity or suffer the absence thereof. The lexis of the former is related to standards of civility and human rights like civil society, non-profit, volunteerism, human rights, United Nations Human Rights Programme, in contrast to their opposites, like human rights violations and crimes against humanity. "Globalization and Economic Development" includes globalization, global village, free market economy and their counter-parts like anti-globalization, cultural relativism along with words that describe world economic growth. At the end of Diplomacy Arabic, the authors include an Index in English of most of the entries to facilitate its use. The ten chapters offer an exhaustive list of words and expressions commonly used in diplomacy. The audience is not limited [End Page 232] to people who work in this area and "students [and scholars] of international affairs" (1). Reporters, human rights activists, business people, and others, whose practices are closely connected to the Arabspeaking world, can also use it. Since the entries start with Arabic and the Index is in English, Diplomacy Arabic is accessible to both English speakers using or learning Arabic and Arabic speakers using or learning English. It is devoted to communication contexts where relations are negotiated and agreements are reached, so it can help its users to avoid getting "lost in translation".

The purpose of this article is to analyze data on the functioning of the Jewish Community in Lvov during the years 1919-1924. The indicated problems will enable to show the functioning of the Jewish minority in the conditions of the reviving Polish state - both in socio-political terms, and in the organizational aspect. It is particularly important to show the Jewish minority opinion about the conditions of Second Polish Republic. Additionally, this article will help restore the memory of the individual members of the Jewish community in Lvov. The selected issue is a part of the research conducted on a larger scale, whose aim is to enrich knowledge and overcome the deficit of research in the science of politics on the concept of ethnic policy - proposed in the years 1939-1947 by the Polish government in exile. The fundamental finding of the analysis is the fact, that the Board accepted the Polish state and the dominant role of the Polish nation in the system of democratic political power.

Leonardo Casalino, Antifascist Italian Refugees in the US and the Mazzini Society. Among antifascist Italian émigrés who had found a refuge in the US in the 1930's, some liberal-socialists founded the Mazzini Society in 1939. This organization tried to imprint democratic antifascist values in the Italo-American community and to influence the Roosevelt Administration's policy concerning Italy and its political evolution after the defeat of the fascist government. Attempts were made to create a federation of all antifascist associations in the US and in South American countries. But, because it was unwelcomed by the Allies, the project to establish an Italian government in exile and to create an Italian legion of voluntary soldiers never materialized.

To understand the different developments that shaped the Yugoslav war crimes policy it is important to analyse the impact of international discussions on the Yugoslav criminal law and the Yugoslav involvement in the United Nations War Crimes Commission (UNWCC). During the Second World War two different institutions claimed to be the legal representatives of the Yugoslav people: The Yugoslav government in exile in London and the communist led AVNOJ (The Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia). With this in mind, this paper analyses Yugoslav war crimes policies from different perspectives and in different settings. It shows that the Yugoslav`s discussion about the punishment of war criminals was influenced by power struggles, geopolitical aims, and legitimacy. While Yugoslav government in exile got lost in internal nationalist struggles, it was the Yugoslav representative at the UNWCC, and the communist led State commission to investigate the crimes of the occupiers and their accomplices who took the active role and shaped the Yugoslav war crimes policy. In consequence the Yugoslav national law for prosecuting war crimes was developed from different sources: pre-WWII traditions, Soviet law, and the UNWCC.

Ihave no doubt that the fact that I am a politi cal scientist, and have developed a political scientist's approach to thinking about institu tions, has profoundly shaped my perceptions and conception of the United Nations. I think that when one studies the discipline for years, one develops categories that guide perception of reality, illuminating some aspects of it and perhaps de-emphasizing some others. I now see the United Nations as a political system. I spent the first six months of my tenure there rubbing my eyes and asking myself what was going on. I was sure that what was going on was not what was described in most of the books that I had read on the United Nations, which feature what political scientists call a formal, legalistic approach to the organization, includ ing organization charts, lists of subordinate and superordinate bodies, and formal functions. In the United Nations, as in most other political institutions, such books don't help much except as guides to locating offices. It soon became clear to me that I was watch ing what political scientists call power pro cesses?the processes that Harold Lasswell characterized as who gets what, when, and how. I observed that some countries exercise a very large share of control, other countries have some influence and some have none at all. I regret to tell you that the United States is?or long has been?in the last category. So I had two reasons for analyzing and diagnosing U.S. problems at the United Nations. The first reason centered on the political scientist's interest in understanding this important political system and its political processes. The other was the very practical obligation I felt as U.S. Perma nent Representative to the United Nations to try to move us from where we were?a nation virtually without influence over what happened to us there?to where we should be?a nation

We present data on how faculty and students at Seton Hall University use scholarly articles and books, how the library can present its findings to stakeholders, and how librarians can learn from these findings to better meet user needs. The data were gathered using questionnaire surveys of university faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students as part of the IMLS Lib-Value project and based on Tenopir and King Studies conducted since 1977. Many questions used the critical incident of the last article and book reading to enable analysis of the characteristics of readings, in addition to characteristics of readers. Seton Hall’s e-journal collection is vital to its users, supporting faculty research and teaching and student coursework. However, high use of books from non-library sources suggests some deficiencies in the collection. Findings show an opportunity to brand library material to clearly distinguish it from what is perceived as ‘free on the web’, examine use of both print and e-books, and work with professors to increase student awareness and use of library resources.
