Over the last decade, the topics of corruption and recovery of its proceeds have steadily risen in the international policy agenda, with the entry into force of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) in 2005, the Arab Spring in 2011, and most recently a string of scandals in the financial sector. As states decide how best to respond to corruption and recover assets, the course of action most often discussed is criminal investigation and prosecution rather than private lawsuits. But individuals, organizations, and governments harmed by corruption are also entitled to recover lost assets and/or receive compensation for the damage suffered. To accomplish these goals of recovery and compensation, private or 'civil' actions are often a necessary and useful complement to criminal proceedings. This study explores how states can act as private litigants to bring lawsuits to recover assets lost to corruption.
AUTHORISED & VETTED BY SIS/SAS/SBS & WING COMMAND, UN CONCURS, SAMMIE'S NUCLEAR BAN TREATY IS PASSED TENSE NERVOUS HEADACHE STAGES, IN FORCE 2021, HOORAY! G. RAF'S AIR CHIEF MARSHAL writes: 'Another slug of truth bullets to the brain, WOW! BRILLIANT AGAIN! I particularly enjoy Falklands secrets, go on, give yourself a treat and read of us in special operations with Sammie, de facto 001 since 1964, official TopGun, and it was chilling to learn Russia stitched up on so many poisonings! Former 001, John Le Carré aka SAS David Cornwell, on reading Vol. 3 says 'surprised to find these antics being so small and so successful, we all show ourselves up as human in writing and her huge steps for mankind look mundane to others but try action in enemy territory and you'll find it's hot stuff she gets out alive, my God!' My favourite woman, M now, love you poppet. Signed Sir Michael Wigston, W. really.' Prime Minister Boris Johnson notes: 'And so we go on from Alison James' superbly received earlier Volumes, satisfying tomes for intellectuals who enjoy real life history. She is relentless in seeking answers on everything and everyone she meets in her world as 001 extraordinaire and the same in her life as an individual, still on every SAS & SBS special operation; I have read all her files, now a scholar of our recent history and I bless the day she was born as she adds much more to history than being just UK first female in mortal combat! We love her at Eton College where we are all fans, she is an icon of lovely peaceful endeavours through a brutal resilience she owes to her upbringing by her father, like I do mine.' 'Like me too, grateful we are' writes Sir Keir Starmer MP, Leader of Opposition 'supporting your hard-won UN ban-the-bomb global proposal to eliminate nuclear weaponry as you call your Treaty as Boris sets a good trend in supporting this himself, universally agreed.
Before the Arabo-Muslim conquest of 698, the Jews lived peacefully in North Africa with the other inhabitants of the region, except for a few brief periods of Roman and Byzantine rules. Under Islam, life was at times so good that some of the most important religious works since Babylon were written by North African Jewish scholars. Often, however, the Jews suffered because of the dhimmi status that the Muslims imposed upon them and through which they were discriminated against and even persecuted. Consequently, they welcomed the French colonization of their country from 1830 to 1962. Their enthusiastic adoption of everything French - among which the rejection of religion - came with a high price: the almost total loss of their Jewish identity, which caused them to feel so alienated in their native land that when the French left, so did they, mostly for Israel but also for other countries.

The digitization changes qualification demands of knowledge workers and opens new forms of collaboration. Solutions are required for enhancing acquisition and transfer of knowledge as well as training professional skills such as critical thinking, communication and cooperation. Peer Learning (PL) provides potentials for coping with these demands. However, it faces practical challenges as its reusability is low, collaboration expertise is required, and lacks leveraging digitization potentials. In contrast, the body of Collaboration Engineering (CE) literature, provides insights as it is an approach to designing collaborative work practices for high-value recurring tasks and deploying those to practitioners to execute for themselves without collaboration expertise. In this light, three research questions shape the structure of the thesis. First, the thesis shows an analysis of the application domain and develops a teaching-learning approach for creating conditions for PL in large scale lectures. Second, it proposes an approach to designing reference processes for enhancing PL. Third, it presents three studies that illustrate the design, instantiation and evaluation of reference processes for enhancing PL in the field. As methodological approach the thesis uses Design Science and develops, instantiates and evaluates re-usable reference processes for enhancing PL.
On 18 July 1943, one-hundred and twenty Jews were transported from the concentration camp at Drancy to the Lévitan furniture store building in the middle of Paris. These were the first detainees of three satellite camps (Lévitan, Austerlitz, Bassano) in Paris. Between July 1943 and August 1944, nearly eight hundred prisoners spent a few weeks to a year in one of these buildings, previously been used to store furniture, and were subjected to forced labor. Although the history of the persecution and deportation of France’s Jews is well known, the three Parisian satellite camps have been subjected to the silence of both memory and history. This lack of attention by the most authoritative voices on the subject can perhaps be explained by the absence of a collective memory or by the marginal status of the Parisian detainees - the spouses of Aryans, wives of prisoners of war, half-Jews. Still, the Parisian camps did, and continue to this day, lack simple and straightforward descriptions. This book is a much needed study of these camps and is witness to how, sixty years after the events, expressing this memory remains a complex, sometimes painful process, and speaking about it a struggle.

My mother was fond of traveling: she would go from Spain to England, from London to Paris, from Paris to Berlin, and from there to Christiania; then she would come back, embrace me, and set out again for Holland, her native country. She used to send my nurse clothing for herself and cakes for me. To one of my aunts she would write: “Look after little Sarah; I shall return in a month’s time.” A month later she would write to another of her sisters: “Go and see the child at her nurse’s; I shall be back in a couple of weeks." My mother’s age was nineteen; I was three years old, and my two aunts were seventeen and twenty years of age; another aunt was fifteen, and the eldest was twenty-eight, but the latter lived at Martinique, and was the mother of six children. My grandmother was blind, my grandfather dead, and my father had been in China for the last two years. I have no idea why he had gone there." (...)
