Standing for Collective Liberation “No one will be free if the others live under occupation. No one will be safe unless everyone is safe.” In this live SAND Community Gathering (November 2024) Zaya and Maurizio were in discussion with Palestinian and Israeli peace activists Osama lliwat & Rotem Levin who share their personal stories, describe the reality on the ground, and explain their vision for a path toward collective liberation. Osama lliwat was born in Jerusalem and grew up in Jericho, after his family was displaced in 1967. In the peace world for more than 15 years and the co-founder of Visit Palestine, he has dedicated his life to nonviolent resistance. He has worked with the Sulha Peace Project and Interfaith Encounter Association, appeared in several documentaries including Objector and The Other, and speaks regularly on peacebuilding at organizations and universities around the world. Rotem Levin was born and raised in Ein Vered. After his military service, he participated in a transformational intensive dialogue program in Germany, where he got to know Palestinians on a personal and intimate level. This instigated a change in perspective on the story he was born and raised with. After this experience, he started organizing similar programs in Aqaba, Jordan, where he offered the experience to other post-military Israelis and to Palestinian and Israeli medical workers. He is a committed activist and doctor by profession.

"The nice thing about AI is that you don't need many of the typical people anymore. Like you don't need a typical tax advisor anymore because I will be able in very short periods to take over to do your accounting." "Flag theory is all about going where you're treated best... it's really tailored to everyone and his preferences." "In the end, crypto cannot be completely prohibited anymore. There will always be one country like providing the intermediary into and out of the system." "When like the U.S. or certain other big powers embrace Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, then many other countries will follow suit." "Our approach is not to specialize on one country. We specialize on basically every country because I also visited every country." "We administer and support a lot of businesses in the U.S. and we get like a recurring annual fee for administration. So that's actually the main income of my business at the moment." "At some point, we probably don't need passports anymore. Because we will be scanned and controlled anyway. And everyone is in some global database."   Social: Website: http://denationalize.me/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christophtoday/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christoph.today/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000470020209   Disclaimer: Please be aware that the opinions and perspectives conveyed in this podcast are solely those of our guests and do not necessarily represent the views, ideologies, or principles of Super Entrepreneurs Podcast, its associated entities, or any organizations they represent or are affiliated with.

(Ep 218) State of Statelessness' First Tibetan Language Anthology Feature-Film by ctatibettv

Acknowledgement of Country//Headlines//Branka Marijan, Senior Researcher at Project Ploughshares Canada, spoke with Priya earlier last week about the regulatory landscape covering military usage of artificial intelligence, reflecting on the second Responsible AI in the Military Domain or REAIM Summit held during September in Seoul, South Korea. On today's program, we'll hear part two of this conversation (you can listen back to part one here). Branka leads Project Ploughshares' research on the military and security implications of emerging technologies. Her work examines concerns regarding the development of autonomous weapons systems and the impact of artificial intelligence and robotics on security provision and trends in warfare. Her research interests include trends in warfare, civilian protection, use of drones, and civil-military relations.// Dr Jordana Silverstein, Senior Research Fellow in the Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness and the granddaughter of Jewish Holocaust survivors and stateless refugees, joins us to speak about the upcoming launch of the Centre's new oral history podcast 'Being Stateless,' which she hosts. The podcast consists of interviews with people living in so-called Australia who have been stateless, offering a space to share stories, insights, knowledge and experiences of statelessness from people who migrated to this country in the second half of the twentieth century. Jordana is also the award-winning author of Cruel Care: A History of Children at Our Borders (2023) and Anxious Histories: Narrating the Holocaust in Jewish Communities at the Beginning of the Twenty-First Century (2015). The launch event for 'Being Stateless' is from 5:45PM on Wednesday 9 October at the Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness in Arts West. Registrations are essential - you can register here.// Autistic disability activist Shaun Bickley caught up with Priya earlier this week to discuss the labour exploitation of disabled people in so-called Australia with a focus on the issue of wage theft by Australian Disability Enterprises or ADEs. Today, you'll hear part one of that conversation. Shaun is campaigning for an end to subminimum wage for disabled people in Australia, and has created an open letter, which you can sign onto as an individual or endorse on behalf of an organisation [Plain English version linked at top of letter].// Louis is a regional campaigner with Frack Free NT, a grassroots community group that has been fighting back against the destructive fracking industry in the Northern Territory for over a decade. Louis joined us in the studio all the way from Larrakia Country/Darwin to discuss urgent demand to stop Beetaloo Basin gas fracking projects, as Tamboran Resources has already started drilling for its gas project and plans to soon commence fracking, leaving precious water resources at risk.// Calls to action:Attention Brisbane Lions supporters! We may have won the flag, but we've got some important work to do. Write to club@lions.com.au (especially if you're a paid member) to raise your concern about our club's partnership with Caltex, a service station company owned by Chevron and identified as a BDS target. Find out more about Caltex's complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza here, and #BoycottChevron.//Frack Free NT Urgent Actions:Contact your local MP or Minister for the Environment and Water Tanya Plibersek, urging them to provide an exact date or bring forward the advice requested from the Independent Expert Scientific Committee. This ensures that the advice is in before fracking starts, giving the Minister 28 days to act and stop the damage. She has the power, let's push her to use it! //Tell UniSuper to vote in favour of APA resolution. APA Group, Australia's largest gas pipeline operator, is pushing to construct pipelines to support fracking in the Beetaloo Basin. UniSuper, as APA's biggest shareholder has a crucial opportunity to live up to its climate claims and must commit to voting in favour of this resolution.//

Was bedeutet es, keine Staatsbürgerschaft zu haben; also staatenlos zu sein? Weltweit sind mehr als 10 Millionen Menschen von Staatenlosigkeit betroffen. Allein in Österreich leben laut Melderegister über 20.000 Menschen mit ungeklärter, unbekannter oder gar keiner Staatsbürgerschaft. Welchen Problemen begegnen sie im Alltag, wie ist ihr Status rechtlich geregelt - und warum können sie keine Staatsangehörigkeit vorweisen? Dazu ist der Jurist Leonhard Call-Blaßnig im #wissenschaftsradio zu Gast. Er schreibt den Länderbericht über Österreich für das "European Network on Statelessness". Diese Sendung ist Teil des Radio Radieschen-Themenschwerpunktes "Staatenlosigkeit".

Early this year, the government announced that the constitution would be amended to provide equal rights to Malaysian mothers to confer citizenship to children born abroad on par with Malaysian fathers. While the proposal has garnered support from the Malaysian public, controversy arises from the government's plans to couple this with other amendments that some argue risk perpetuating statelessness, especially for children. What would happen should these amendments come to pass? Zaid Malek of Lawyers for Liberty weighs in on the issue.

In today's podcast, Justin Drake and Tim Beiko help us explore Ethereum's uncharted roadmap.  You know about EIP-4844. You know about Proposer-Builder Separation. But the Ethereum roadmap does not stop there. It continues! Each component of the Ethereum roadmap has deeper frontiers than what you may be familiar with. 4844, PBS, these are just the first stops on a longer track of Ethereum's Sci-Fi roadmap.  Other areas Justin, Tim, and David explore statelessness, how VCs are subsidizing Ethereum L1 R&D efforts, enshrined rollups, how all of this stuff leads to Ethereum needing fewer and fewer honest actors to work trustlessly, what quantum computing has to do with the Ethereum roadmap, trustless mempools and so much more.  -----

This week's Wonderspace comes from a conference in Madrid where last week over 220 people came together around the issue of statelessness organised by the European Network on Statelessness in collaboration with Fundación Cepaim.Statelessness is an issue that impacts over half a million people in Europe and many millions globally which you can hear more about in our 100th Wonderspace episode with the amazing Christiana Bukalo from Statefree.Someone described this issue of statelessness as the 'phenomenon of invisibility' and so being at this conference was for us at Wonderspace about keeping the issue visible by signposting to people, organisations and networks who are leading the way in this complex issue. We did this in Madrid by capturing short stories of hopefulness from 24 amazing people and organisations working in the stateless arena.To find out more go to the website of the European Network on Statelessness where you will also find a link to member organisations from across Europe. Their web link is www.Statelessness.eu. To view the episode page with a summary of the interview, links to social media and projects mentioned, go to https://ourwonder.space/episodes/_114

On this episode of Consider This, Melisa Idris speaks to the lead author of a report on statelessness in Peninsular Malaysia, Dr Melati Nungsari, Faculty Director of the ASEAN Research Centre, Associate Professor of Economics at the Asia School of Business, and Research Affiliate at the MIT-Sloan School of Management. Formerly stateless ​​Wong Yew Lee joins the conversation to help us better understand the intersectional lived experience of a stateless person.

As a continuation of our last episode, Dr. Amarilys Estrella and Ana Maria Belique join for a discussion on anti-Haitian sentiment in the Dominican Republic. Together, we discuss how the Dominican government has legitimized some of the conflict through state documentation, leaving generations of Dominicans and Dominicans of Haitian descent stateless  due to the 2013 Ruling 168/13.  Amarilys Estrella is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology and a faculty affiliate for the Center for African and African American Studies at Rice University. Her research interests broadly focus on the intersections of race and gender within transnational movements, Black Latin American and Latinx identity, as well as human rights and anti-racist activism. Her first book project investigates how Blackness and Black identity, is produced, employed and transformed through everyday encounters among stateless Black grassroots activists of Haitian descent in the Dominican Republic. In her article, “Muertos Civiles: Mourning the Casualties of Racism in the Dominican Republic” she examines mourning as a practice of resistance within anti-racist movements. In her blogpost “Black Latinx Encuentros: Embodied Knowledge and Reciprocal Forms of Knowledge Sharing” Estrella and her colleague Dr. Meryleen Mena explore the importance of encuentros, understood as meetings or collective forums where Black Feminists throughout the Americas create spaces for intellectual and personal reciprocity enabling us to connect across our similarities and differences. Ana María Belique is a founding member and leader of Reconoci. do, a movement that mobilizes and empowers Dominicans of Haitian descent and campaigns for equality and citizenship rights. She studied Sociology and specializes in Afro-Latin American and Caribbean studies from CLACSO. Her activism focuses on the fight for the restitution of the right to nationality of Dominicans of Haitian descent affected by ruling 168-13 of the Dominican Constitutional Court, as well as promoting the empowerment of the Dominican population of Haitian descent residing in Dominican bateyes. In addition, she founded the initiative for women and girls, MUÑECAS NEGRAS RD initiative, which offers a learning space to break the patterns imposed on black Dominican women. She coordinated the publication of two books, Nos Cambió La Vida (Our Transformed Lives) and "Somos Quien Somos," which document the stories of members of the Reconoci. do. She recently coordinated the Critical Training Space for Dominicans of Haitian descent. Ana María Belique has visited various international academic spaces where she talks about the reality of Dominicans of Haitian descent in the DR, human rights, Afro-descendants, and the experience of working with women in the bateyes. She was a visiting student at Columbia University in the Human Rights Advocacy Program 2022-2023 cohort.Support the showConnect with Strictly Facts - Instagram | Facebook | TwitterLooking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

The event is being held in the wake of several councils, most recently the City of Monash, deciding to cancel their drag queen storytime event because of threats of violence from conservative campaigners and far right groups. Find out more and get involved in tomorrow's queer community celebration here, and support the Glitterific Gay Gathering Fund here.  Dr Jordana Silverstein, historian and Senior Research Fellow at Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness, Melbourne Law School, speaks with us about her new book 'Cruel Care', an eye-opening exploration of the construction and violent governance of child refugees in Australian law and policy. Cruel Care asks provocative questions about how policymakers are shaped by, and in turn shape, their histories, communities and the nation, and draws our attention to the importance of situating these concerns within ongoing settler colonialism in so-called Australia. It is a clarion call for better treatment for all who seek asylum on this continent. Cruel Care is published by Monash University Press.  Songs:Took the Children Away - Archie Roach

The Pemba live along the Indian Ocean, on the Kenyan coast. They arrived in the 1930s and have since been stateless – living without title deeds, social security, access to studies or fishing permits. But this is changing, as the Kenyan government has now officially recognised this community of several thousand people. The steps allowing the Pemba to obtain Kenyan citizenship have begun and they will receive their identity cards in a few months' time. It's a chance at a new life for a community that has been marginalised for 90 years. Our correspondents report.

The United Nations is appealing for nearly $900 million to help Rohingya who've fled to Bangladesh from their native Myanmar.

Guests: Razia Sultana - Founder of RW Welfare Society, a women's rights organisation.  Matthew Smith - Chief Executive and Co-Founder of Fortify Rights, a human rights organization.

Law & Behold is a monthly series which aims to arm Malaysians with constitutional literacy, and is done in collaboration with The Malaysian Bar, the University of Malaya's Faculty of Law, and the Malaysian Centre for Constitutionalism and Human Rights (MCCHR). This month, we speak to lawyers Larissa Ann Louis (Hakita) and Simon Siah (Lawyer Kamek for Change), who are both actively working to resolve issues on statelessness in Malaysia. Who are considered stateless in Malaysia, and what rights are denied to them? What legal safeguards are there in the Federal Constitution against statelessness, and how can someone who has been deemed stateless through no fault of their own - especially children - attempt to obtain Malaysian citizenship? We discuss what law and policy reforms on citizenship are needed, so that we can address the endless cycle of statelessness in Malaysia.Image credit: Reggie Lee/Shutterstock.com

Um über das Konstrukt Staatenlosigkeit oder statelessness sprechen und für das Verständnis haben wir erst einmal über Nationalstaaten, Bürgerschaft, Teilhabe und das internationale Staatssystem gesprochen. Wir klären erst einmal Dinge wie was einen Staat überhaupt ausmacht. Als die Imperien zerfallen und Souveränitäten neu geklärt werden müssen kommt die Kategorie Staatenlosigkeit auf. Eine rechtliche Definition gibt es dann in den 1950ern. Was bedeutet das konkret für Menschen? Wie setzen Staaten dies als Machtinstrument ein? Das könnt ihr euch in der heutigen Folge anhören.

Dr. Lewis Eliot is a professor of History at the University of South Carolina. His research explores the intersection of anti-slavery and imperialism during the nineteenth century. Dr. Eliot's dissertation, Rebellion and Empire in Britain's Atlantic World, 1807-1884, analyzes how enslaved uprisings and the British Empire's response to them created a new strain of abolitionism. This new form of anti-slavery touted racial hierarchies and British authorities forced this ideology upon rivals in Europe, Latin America, and Africa in order to maintain white supremacy while the bonds of slavery loosened.    His research has been funded by the John Carter Brown Library, American Historical Association, Library Company of Philadelphia, Gilder Lehrman Institute, Walker Institute, and the University of South Carolina's History Department, Graduate School, and Office of the Vice-President for Research. In the 2019-2020 academic year he was a Bridge Humanities Corps Fellow.    He is the author of several articles including, “We Don't Recognize Your Freedom: Slavery, Imperialism, and Statelessness in the Nineteenth Century Atlantic World” recently published in Atlantic Studies and "Exultations, Agonies, and Love: The Romantics and the Haitian Revolution". In this episode we explore how racism as it is experienced today has been constantly developing for the past 400 years and is a direct product of colonialism and imperialism. We explore how the Haitian Revolution affected the very nature of abolitionism in Western thought, ultimately instilling the race-based white supremacy that continues to this day.   You can check out the latter article here: https://activisthistory.com/2017/07/07/exultations-agonies-and-love-the-romantics-and-the-haitian-revolution/  #haitianrevolution #history #haiti

November 28th, 2021 - We're thrilled to announce a new video that shares about two sisters, Saifon and Panee! These young women are stateless, meaning they don't have any kind of national citizenship. Statelessness leaves them without the legal protections that governments give based on citizenship, and they are also denied access to many of the basic rights citizens enjoy. Listen to learn more.

Glossary  Who is Hannah Arendt?(00: 2: 08 or page 1)Hannah Arendt (1906–1975) was one of the most influential political philosophers of the twentiethcentury. Born into a German-Jewish family, she was forced to leave Germany in 1933 and lived inParis for the next eight years, working for a number of Jewish refugee organisations. In 1941 sheimmigrated to the United States and soon became part of a lively intellectual circle in New York. Sheheld a number of academic positions at various American universities until her death in 1975. She isbest known for two works that had a major impact both within and outside the academiccommunity. The first, The Origins of Totalitarianism, published in 1951, was a study of the Nazi andStalinist regimes that generated a wide-ranging debate on the nature and historical antecedents ofthe totalitarian phenomenon. Source Who are the Chakma refugees?(00:6:41 or page 2)The Chakmas are ethnic people who lived in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, most of which arelocated in Bangladesh. Chakmas are predominantly Buddhists, they are found in northeastIndia, West Bengal, Bangladesh, and Myanmar.The Chakmas living in India are Indian citizens,some of them, mostly from Mizoram, live in relief camps in southern Tripura due to tribalconflict with Mizos. Source What is the 1951 Convention?(00:25:25 or page 5)The 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, as complemented by its 1967 Protocol, hasjustly been termed the “Magna Carta” of refugees. The Convention and Protocol are, indeed, theculmination of an uninterrupted effort by the international community, started under the League ofNations in 1921, to ensure the international recognition of some basic rights and of certain minimumstandards of treatment for persons forced to flee their country in order to escape persecution onaccount of their race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership of a particular socialgroup. The fundamental importance of the 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol was stressed by theWorld Conference on Human Rights held in Vienna in 1993, and has been repeatedly affirmed by theGeneral Assembly of the United Nations, which has hailed the Convention and Protocol as “thecornerstone of the international system for the protection of refugees”.The Executive Committee ofUNHCR has also emphasised the primacy of these instruments, and confirmed that they form theinternational legal basis for the protection of refugees.

Earlier this year, New Naratif published a piece about Wong Kueng Hui, one of the many stateless people in the Malaysian state of Sabah, and his decade-long legal battle to gain citizenship in Malaysia. In October 2019, the Kuala Lumpur High Court finally granted Wong citizenship. But this breakthrough only lasted for three weeks. The Malaysian government applied for a stay of execution on the order to grant Wong's citizenship. Last month was the two-year anniversary of what could have marked the end of his ongoing struggle. On this week's episode of Southeast Asia Dispatches, we look at what has happened since. We hear from Wong himself, along with his lawyer, Haijan Omar, and Dr. Vilashini Somiah, executive committee member of the Sabah Human Rights Centre. We discuss Wong's efforts to break the generational cycle of statelessness affecting him and nearly a million other people who live in Sabah.

Do you know what a stateless person is? Someone where the country they are from doesn't recognize them as a citizen, often due to political or religious reasons. Today in the world there are around 10 MILLION stateless people. People that don't have the right to have a birth certificate, go to a regular school, hospital or have a death certificate. In this episode of The Belonging Project Podcast, we talk with Maha Mamo. Maha was one of them, her story is an example of #resilience #determinationand #perseverance. After so many attempts, she found a new home in Brazil and at 26 years old, she got her first official document and a citizenship. Maha Mamo is now a spokesperson for the UN #IBelong campaign in order to contribute to eradicating statelessness worldwide by changing the laws and giving more visibility.

In this episode, I had the opportunity to speak with Tiffany Mane (pronounced Man-neh) about Rule of Law development and how it affects not only the legal system but also cultural norms, social responsibility, communities, criminal justice, human rights, and more... Tiffany is a daughter of Dominican immigrants, the youngest of seven children and the first person in her family to graduate from law school. She is a Posse Foundation alumna and graduated from Dickinson College with a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies. She graduated from Howard University School of Law in 2018 with her Juris Doctor and is currently enrolled in a Master of Laws program in Rule of Law Development at Loyola University Chicago School of Law. She is the co-author of a UN report on the issue of statelessness in the Dominican Republic (publication pending.) That experience led her to pursue her true passion, which lies in rule of law development. She is an avid reader and is also into all things health, wellness and interior design.

Why Statelessness Is On the Rise GloballyGuest: Fernand de Varennes, United Nations Special Rapporteur on Minority IssuesAround the world there are at least 10 million people who are “stateless,” according to the United Nations. Which means, they belong nowhere. They're not simply refugees or individuals living without citizenship status in a country. These stateless individuals have no “home” to go back to, even if they wanted to. How the Chinese Government Controls InformationGuest: Margaret (Molly) Roberts, Professor of Political Science at the University of California, San DiegoThe ongoing –and increasingly violent –pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong are testing China's ability to censor information within its borders. Outside of China it's easy to find social media posts and news articles that depict the Hong Kong protestors as young people exercising their democratic right to demand more freedom. Inside China, the government controls the media and censors the internet, so people are more likely to encounter the Chinese government's official take on the Hong Kong protestors –which is that they're terrorists provoked by the West. Fighting Loneliness in Seniors with Virtual RealityGuest: Kyle Rand, Cofounder and CEO of RendeverMany elderly people have lost mobility and the strength to travel, and that can leave them feeling isolated and depressed. Moving into a care facility can also make some feel like they've lost their freedom. But a virtual reality program is giving seniors new life and inspiration. All they have to do is strap on a pair of goggles, and they can do things they normally couldn't like going scuba diving, visiting their childhood home, or seeing the Eiffel Tower. Canada Now Leads the World in Refugee Resettlement. America Used to Hold That Title. What's Changed?Guest: Geoffrey Cameron, Research Associate, Global Migration Lab at the University of Toronto and author of the forthcoming book, “Send Them Here: Religion and the Politics of Refugee Resettlement”Since President Trump took office, the United States has steadily taken in fewer refugees. Last week, the Trump Administration announced a limit of 18,000 who will be allowed to resettled in America next year. That's down from a cap of 110,000 two years ago. What that means is that for the first time in 30 years, the United States no longer leads the world in refugee resettlement. Canada now takes in more refugees than we do. Why Isn't There a National Weather Service App?Guest: J. Marshall Shepherd, professor of geography and atmospheric sciences at the University of GeorgiaOne of the first things I do in the morning is check the weather app on my phone to see what I should wear that day. Like me, more and more people are getting weather information from apps, and there are plenty to choose from. That is, unless you're looking for one directly from the US National Weather Service–the weather information source paid for by our taxes. Unlike some other countries, our weather service doesn't have an app. What Do We Do with Confederate Monuments?Guest: Andrea Douglas, PhD, Executive Director of the Jefferson School African American Heritage CenterCity officials in Charlottesville, Virginia would like to remove two prominent statutes in public parks –one of Confederate General Robert E. Lee and the other of Stonewall Jackson. When white supremacists marched in Charlottesville two years ago and murdered a counter-protester, they said they were defending the General Lee monument. Why can't the city just take them down? Because Virginia, like many southern states, has a law that prohibits removal of war memorials and a judge says these monuments are covered by that law.  

Join Roger Berkowitz as he talks with Seyla Benhabib, the Eugene Meyer Professor of Political Science and Philosophy at Yale University.
