Bhoutan 1991-1992 Les autorités de Timphu n'ont pu, en 1991-1992, venir à bout de la rébellion violente lancée fin 1990 par les autonomistes d'origine népalaise. Ceux-ci réclament une reconnaissance officielle de leur spécificité culturelle ainsi que la démocratisation d'un régime qui, à la mi-1992, n'admettait toujours pas l'existence de partis politiques. En août et décembre 1991, le roi a amnistié plusieurs dizaines d'activistes, promettant en outre une politique de développement privilégiée...

Libéria (1996-1997) Commencée le 24 décembre 1989, avec la rébellion du Front national patriotique du Libéria (NPFL) de Charles Taylor contre le régime de Samuel K. Doe, la guerre civile a semblé avoir trouvé un début de solution. Une trêve ayant été acceptée par le NPFL, les combats qui avaient à nouveau embrasé Monrovia, le 6 avril 1996, ont progressivement cessé. La Force ouest-africaine d'interposition (Ecomog), déployée depuis le 24 août 1990 par la Communauté économique des États de l'Afr...

Kant et le droit de révolte
II. ON N'OPPOSE PAS LA VIOLENCE À LA VIOLENCE -Cette interdiction vaut même dans les cas où la rébellion pourrait en apparence se justifier par la trahison du pouvoir lui-même. - Si le pouvoir ne remplit pas correctement sa fonction, et use de la violence en devenant tyrannique, les sujets eux-mêmes ne doivent pas recourir à la violence pour répondre. - Cet usage de la violence par le peuple signifierait une régression au pré politique ou à un...

La révolte est-elle un droit ?
citoyens ont le droit de résister au pouvoir, de se révolter. Pour Locke, il est donc possible d'admettre l'idée d'undroit à la révolte, puisque l'Etat est considéré comme devant être minimal. En effet, si le pouvoir politique n'est pasà même d'accomplir la tâche pour laquelle il a été créé, ou pire, s'arroge des droits qu'il n'a pas, nuisant ainsi aupeuple, alors ce dernier doit pouvoir se révolter contre lui. ● Mais si ce droit à la révolter est envisageable, il faut pourtant fair...

1984 - George Orwell

By being so straddled in his works G.O. describes caricatoonish world to impose a reflection. G.O. displays a mastery of writing because he manages to do not create a ridiculous world but rather a world which recalls something that already happen. c) The message By reading Nine...

Jacques Chirac rencontrera plusieurs d'entre eux entête-à-tête, mais rien n'indique que les belligérants soient réellement disposés à se parler.

African American History - U.
In their day-to-day lives, slaves and servants shared similar grievances and frequently formed alliances. Advertisements seeking the return of slaves and servants whohad run away together filled colonial newspapers. When a slave named Charles escaped in 1740, the Pennsylvania Gazette reported that two white servants, a 'Scotch man' and an Englishman, escaped with him. Sometimes interracial alliances involved violence. During Bacon's Rebellion in 1676, slaves and servants took up armsagainst Na...
