The Bible provided a foundation through which South Sudanese could distinguish themselves from Arab and Muslim Sudanese to their north and understand themselves as a spiritual community now freed from their oppressors. Less than three years later, however, new conflicts emerged along ethnic lines, belying the liberation theology that had supposedly reached its climactic conclusion with independence. In Chosen Peoples, Christopher Tounsel investigates the centrality of Christian worldviews to the ideological construction of South Sudan and the inability of shared religion to prevent conflict. From the creation of a colonial-era mission school to halt Islam's spread up the Nile, the centrality of Biblical language in South Sudanese propaganda during the Second Civil War (1983-2005), and post-independence transformations of religious thought in the face of ethnic warfare, Tounsel highlights the potential and limitations of deploying race and Christian theology to unify South Sudan. 517 $aChosen Peoples 606 $aEthnic relations$xPolitical aspects 606 $aChristianity and politics 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aInternational relations 607 $aSouth Sudan 607 $aSudan 615 0$aEthnic relations$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aChristianity and politics. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aInternational relations. 676 $a261.709629 700 $aTounsel$b Christopher$01073295 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910512209103321 996 $aChosen Peoples$92569448 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04246oam 2200673I 450 001 9910781540003321 005 20230802004312.0 010 $a1-136-66793-8 010 $a1-283-36370-4 010 $a9786613363701 010 $a0-203-80833-9 010 $a1-136-66794-6 024 7 $a10.4324/9780203808337 035 $a(CKB)2550000000074468 035 $a(EBL)735287 035 $a(OCoLC)778618297 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000554890 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12196809 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000554890 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10517730 035 $a(PQKB)10795734 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC735287 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL735287 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10519622 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL336370 035 $a(OCoLC)778448086 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000074468 100 $a20180706d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aHuman rights monitoring mechanisms of the Council of Europe /$fedited by Gauthier de Beco 210 1$aMilton Park, Abingdon, Oxon ;$aNew York, N.Y. :$cRoutledge,$d2012. 215 $a1 online resource (265 p.) 225 1 $aRoutledge research in human rights law 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-415-85949-2 311 $a0-415-58162-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aThe Commissioner for Human Rights / Lauri Sivonen -- The European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (the CPT) / Renate Kicker -- The European Committee of Social Rights (the ECSR) / Olivier De Schutter and Matthias Sant'Ana -- The Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (the ACFC) / Gauthier de Beco and Emma Lantschner -- The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) / Lanna Yael Hollo -- The Committee of Experts of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (the CECL) / Robert Dunbar. 330 $a"The book studies the human rights monitoring mechanisms of the Council of Europe. It provides an in-depth examination of six such mechanisms: the Commissioner for Human Rights, the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (the CPT), the European Committee of Social Rights (the ECSR), the Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (the ACFC), the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) and the Committee of Experts of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (the CECL). The human rights monitoring mechanisms of the Council of Europe seek to establish a permanent dialogue with governments to encourage them to better implement human rights treaties. They function principally through the use of national reports, on which basis they make recommendations, and may also visit or question states directly. The book looks at each mechanism in turn, discussing their composition, functions and working methods, as well as their relationship with other actors. It includes both a general discussion of the role of European human rights monitoring mechanisms as well as a comparative analysis of these mechanisms. The book aims to provide a clear understanding of the underlying approach of European human rights monitoring mechanisms and the challenges faced by them in terms of effectiveness. It will be useful for practitioners and students alike, especially those following courses in human rights or related fields"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge research in human rights law. 606 $aHuman rights monitoring$zEurope 606 $aHuman rights$zEurope 615 0$aHuman rights monitoring 615 0$aHuman rights 676 $a341.4/8094 676 $a342.4085 686 $aLAW000000$aLAW013000$aLAW016000$2bisacsh 701 $aDe Beco$b Gauthier$0512311 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781540003321 996 $aHuman rights monitoring mechanisms of the Council of Europe$93693908 997 $aUNINA
