The use of R2P mechanism by international community in cases of serious human rights infringements in Africa

Artykuł przedstawia ewolucję podejścia do interwencji humanitarnej, które w XXI wieku zostało sformułowane w koncepcji odpowiedzialności za ochronę. Artykuł koncentruje się w szczególności na możliwości przyjęcia reguły R2P w Afryce, zwłaszcza drugiego i trzeciego filaru tego mechanizmu. Omówiono tutaj różne przypadki konfliktu w Afryce i inne rodzaje zagrożeń bezpieczeństwa; te, które zostały faktycznie wdrożone, i sytuacje, w których trzeba je było pominąć. Opis ten ma na celu zdefiniowanie sytuacji, w których mechanizm R2P okaże się przydatny w środkach bezpieczeństwa kontynentalnego, a także wskazanie czynników niezbędnych do jego praktycznego wdrożenia, niezależnie od czystych deklaracji państw i organizacji regionalnych.The article presents the evolution of the approach to humanitarian intervention that in the 21st century had been framed in the concept of Responsibility to Protect.

Transformacja współczesnej rodziny egipskiej a model rodziny w Opowieści starego Kairu Nadżiba Mahfuza – analiza genderowa

This article portrays the Egyptian family known from Palace Walk and infl uenced by modernization, which affected the traditional understanding of the gender roles. To use gender roles as a basis for any discourse on the relationship between modern and traditional family environments, in an Arabic culture, seems to be an interesting proposal. The transformation of the contemporary Egyptian family, determination of the types of characters, and relations between the sexes characteristic of the Arab cultural sphere is presented based on the author’s analysis. The article reveals the condition of an Egyptian family and the shift in its functioning, related to the confl ict between the traditional and modern, in Muslim discourse and social life. The dissonance in the female and male presence in private and public spaces, as well as their ability to achieve professional fulfi llment is its signifi cant point

Swedish roma integration policy : model and mood practicies

Sweden is inhabited by the biggest Roma people population among Nordic countries. The community is however very diverse in reference regarding the language spoken, the belief, and origin. For years this particular minority had been marginalized and even persecuted by the Swedish administration. Only since 1999 it gained the national minority status, which resulted in legal protection from the government and farther integration possibilities for the community that suffered social, political and cultural exclusion in the past. Sweden is perceived presently as country with one of the best Roma integration policy, reaching far beyond the EU minimal standards. Malmö is that Swedish city that may play as a pattern for the effective, successful inclusive approach towards Roma community.

Polityka państwa wobec muzułmanów a relacje chrześcijańsko-muzułmańskie w Kenii

Z wprowadzenia: "Kenia jest przykładem państwa, w którym doszło do zetknięcia chrześcijaństwa z islamem, co w ostatnich dziesięcioleciach stało się powodem poważnych konfliktów między obiema wspólnotami religijnymi. W kształtowaniu relacji chrześcijańsko- muzułmańskich szczególną rolę odegrało państwo. Władze niepodległej Kenii niejednokrotnie bowiem wykorzystywały nieporozumienia między obiema wspólnotami religijnymi i podsycały konflikt, aby osłabić ich pozycje w obawie przed rodzeniem się ruchów antyrządowych. Wydaje się, że kluczowa dla zrozumienia stosunków międzyreligijnych w Kenii jest kwestia marginalizacji islamu jako religii mniejszościowej, zwłaszcza w sferze edukacji, kultury, a przede wszystkim polityki. Marginalizacja ta nie do końca wynika z braku homogeniczności tej grupy, ale głównie z prowadzonej przez państwo oficjalnej polityki wykluczania w jak najszerszym zakresie muzułmanów ze sfery publicznej. Stąd istotne jest przeanalizowanie polityki władz kenijskich w stosunku do wspólnoty muzułmańskiej oraz przyjrzenie się relacjom pomiędzy muzułmanami i chrześcijanami.
