    Africa

    De plus en plus de pays africains se dotent d’universités virtuelles. Réponse pertinente, bien que partielle, au défi de la massification, leur déploiement soulève des défis techniques, institutionnels, culturels et de qualité des ressources mobilisées. En Afrique, dans un contexte de contraintes budgétaires manifestes sur l’enseignement supérieur, le coût de financement des infrastructures universitaires publiques est élevé. Les universités numériques semblent un moyen d’offrir un accès moins coûteux à la formation tout en répondant à l’enjeu de massification.

    El avance del agronegocio sobre territorios ocupados por agricultoras y agricultores familiares y sobre territorios ancestrales de comunidades indígenas se ha ido intensificado en los últimos años, con graves consecuencias como desalojos forzosos, en muchos casos violentos, ya sea por el uso de las fuerzas policiales o empresariales, poniendo en riesgo la vida de quienes resisten a los mismos.

    The Human Rights Consequences of the Eastern Economic Corridor and Special Economic Zones in Thailand

    Thailand

    The establishment and development of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) are a central part of the Thai government’s strategy to expand infrastructure and attract foreign investment. These areas have been designated for development pursuant to special legal and regulatory frameworks. SEZs can play a useful role in a country’s economic development strategy. However, in many instances, their establishment results in the dilution of legal protections for human rights and the environment.

    Chad

    L’accaparement des terres au Tchad est un phénomène nouveau, massif, et accumulateur visant le contrôle de large partie de terres riches agricoles. Le contexte tchadien correspond plus ou moins aux critères globalement admis pour définir l’accaparement des terres : la taille des emprises, les acteurs (passifs ou actifs), le contrôle des procédures, la légalité des acquisitions et l’utilisation des terres cédées. Les investisseurs étrangers se sont encore peu intéressés au foncier agricole tchadien. Le phénomène est porté par une classe d’investisseurs locaux.

    Georgia

    The governing Georgian Dream party (GD) continues to control all branches of the state. Although the UNM-led opposition put pressure on the GD government, it won a third term in allegedly fraudulent parliamentary elections on October 31, 2020. The opposition refused to take up their seats in the new parliament, which led to a political deadlock. The crisis peaked when Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia resigned in February 2021 over his personal refusal to arrest UNM opposition leader Nikanor Melia.

    The ongoing use of landscape-based conflict commodities — diamonds and other minerals, timber, wildlife, etc. — to finance wars continues to evolve. The success with which such commodities can be transacted to support militaries, militias and insurgencies has led belligerents to innovate with additional commodities. Housing, land and property (HLP) rights within war zones have belatedly joined the list of conflict commodities that are subject to transaction, and to such an extent as to warrant significant concern.
