| STAND UP for WORLD PEACE (Created by Trevor Dougherty) |
 |
This video was nominated for "Most
Inspirational" in the YouTube Video Awards
2007. It has also been viewed in more than
100 countries, from Afghanistan to Zambia.
THANKS, YOUTUBE!
We urge you to stand up for WORLD PEACE!
¡Paz de mundo! Paix dans le monde!
Weltfrieden! Pace di mondo! De wereldvrede!
Paz mundial! Мир во всем мире!
Verdenfred!
Let's make this video travel around the world
so everyone can share our vision of world
peace.
I hope you will be inspired to take a stand
and express yourself in a video response to
this...
We live in a world full of poverty, disease,
corruption, and inequality. Violence is an
intolerable addition to this global
suffering!
We must focus our spendings and our efforts
on helping to better the lives of those in
need, instead of KILLING and causing more
pain to fellow humans and innocent people!
This is a project in stop-motion animation
that took about 1,000 separate shots to
create.
- PLEASE POST YOUR VIDEO RESPONSES -
All you need to do, to show that you care, is
literally *stand up.* Just get off your
office chair or coach, stand on your feet,
and film it. No one is asking for a donation,
a promise, or your contact info...just a show
of your support. We can create a powerful
movement - eventually a compilation video. If
you are in the mood for a peaceful world,
then STAND UP.

| Tulane: Beth Dougherty on Transitional Justice in Iraq |
 |
Sect, Trials and the United States:
Searching for Transitional Justice in Iraq
Far from promoting justice or reconciliation,
Saddam's trial and subsequent execution
exacerbated the sharply divisive narratives
of sectarianism and occupation that are
driving the violence in Iraq. The Iraq High
Tribunal faced a complex political
environment that posed stiff challenges to
its ability to deliver transitional justice,
including the legacy of politicized successor
trials and deep sectarian and ethnic divides.
Moreover, its proceedings were subject to
constant interference from the Iraqi
government, and took place as Iraq slid ever
deeper into conflict. The Bush
administration's conflicting goals for
transitional justice in Iraq -- it wanted
both a fair and legitimate process and the
execution of Saddam -- led it to midwife an
Americanized Iraqi court that was ill-suited
to meet the challenges of post-Saddam Iraq.
Beth Dougherty is Manger Professor of
International Relations and Associate
Professor of Political Science at Beloit
College. She received her MA and PhD in
Foreign Affairs from the University of
Virginia and did her undergraduate work at
Chatham College (Pittsburgh, PA) where she
majored in political science. She joined the
Beloit faculty in 1996 and teaches a broad
range of international politics courses,
including Middle East politics, African
conflicts, human rights, U.S. foreign policy,
and international law and organizations. Her
current research focuses on transitional
justice mechanisms such as international
criminal tribunals and truth and
reconciliation commissions. A 2003 Fulbright
Scholar to Denmark, she spent four months at
the Danish Institute for Human Rights in
Copenhagen conducting research on
international justice issues. She has made
three trips to Sierra Leone since late 2003
to follow the work of the Special Court for
Sierra Leone. She has published on a wide
range of subjects, including Iraq,
transitional justice in Sierra Leone and
Iraq, ethnic conflict, and pedagogy.
Professor Dougherty's articles have appeared
in International Affairs, Security Studies,
Middle East Policy, African Studies
Quarterly, Active Learning in Higher
Education, PS: Political Science, and
International Studies Perspectives. She and
Edmund Ghareeb are the co-authors of A
Historical Dictionary of Iraq, which was
named a Best Reference Source in 2004 by
Library Journal. Professor Dougherty has
also received both campus and national awards
for teaching, including the 1999 Underkofler
Award for Excellence in Undergraduate
Teaching (Beloit College), and the 2001
Rowman and Littlefield Award for Innovative
Teaching in Political Science, awarded
through the American Political Science
Association.
