Recent events in Gaza, Palestine, have brought the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to international attention once again.

الإتجار بالبشر جرم يعود في جذوره إلى بدايات التّاريخ الموثّق. رافق العديد من حضارات العالم خلال حقبات زمنيّة متواصلة حتّى يومنا هذا. لربّما أقدم حادثة اتّجار قد ذُكرت في سفر التّكوين، عندما تآمر أولاد يعقوب على أخيهم يوسف وباعوه إلى قافلة الإسماعيليين الآتية من جلعاد إلى مصر واشتراه فوطيفار مساعد فرعون عرّف بروتوكول […]
تطورت وظيفة السجن عبر الزمن, فقد كان في العصور السالفة لا يكترث للاعتبارات الانسانية والاجتماعية والاصلاحية, و طغيان الرغبة فيه بالانتقام من السجين على ما اقترفه من جرائم أو تهم ألصقت به دون رأفة, شفقة أو رحمة, أما في عصرنا الحاضر، وبعد تكريس مبادئ حقوق الإنسان عبر نصوص وتشريعات قانونية صارت السجون في الكثير من […]
