{"title":"India’s Crimes Against Humanity and Application of “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P): Prospects and Challenges in the Case of Jammu and Kashmir","authors":"Mehmood Hussain","doi":"10.1080/13602004.2023.2262846","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13602004.2023.2262846","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractThe Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine is developed to stop genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and ethnic cleansing. Since 2005, the UN operationalized it in Libya, Yemen, Liberia, Syria, South Sudan, and Congo. However, to address India’s genocide in Kashmir, the framework is contested and politicized. So the paper test the parameters of R2P and its possible implementation. It asks (a) Why the UN has failed to operationalize R2P in Kashmir. (b) What are the underlying reasons and how realpolitik is undermining R2P implementation? It argues that India is involved in a systematic and sustained genocide of the Kashmiri population and illegal settlements of the Hindu community. Nevertheless, major powers’ geo-economics and geopolitical interests, a paradigm shift in the global order where India is placed at the heart of U.S. hedging strategy against China, and New Delhi's sustained role in regional and global politics prevent the international community from invoking R2P.Keywords: Kashmir conflictResponsibility to Protect (R2P)genociderealpolitikIndia-Pakistan RivalryIndo-Pacific Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 ICISS, “The Responsibility to Protect”, International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty, 2001.2 Spencer Zifcak, “The Responsibility to Protect”, The Use of Force in International Law, 2017, pp. 571–596, https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315585062-34 (accessed 25 July 2022).3 Jennifer Welsh, “Implementing the Responsibility to Protect”, Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law, and Armed Conflict, 2009, pp. 1–10.4 Rajat Ganguly, “India, Pakistan and the Kashmir Dispute”, in Asian Studies Institute & Centre for Strategic Studies, Wellington: Victoria University of Wellington, 1998.5 Saman Zulfqar, “Kashmir: Nature and Dimensions of the Conflict”, Journal of Current Affairs, Vol. 1, No. 1 & 2, 2016, pp. 51–65.6 Hijab Shah and Melissa Dalton, “Indian Revocation of Kashmir’s Special Status”, Center for Strategic and International Studies, 2019, https://www.csis.org/analysis/indian-revocation-kashmirs-special-status (accessed 10 June 2022).7 U.N.H.C.R., “Report on the Situation of Human Rights in Kashmir: Developments in the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir from June 2016 to April 2018”, Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, no.

The paper also unearths the possibilities of the misuse, misinterpretation and politicization of the concept which have taken place at various historical junctures. At empirical level, the paper attempts to draw the attention toward the perception and opinion of the Muslim women through the structured questionnaire regarding the Instant Triple Talaq and Triple Talaq Act enacted by the Government of India. The study focuses on how the existing power structure in the Muslim community and the deeply rooted cultural practices that in a way were antithetical to the basic Islamic beliefs have shaped the lives of Muslim women in India. The study does not find the Triple Talaq Act passed by Indian parliament as something constructive, rather regards it as interference on part of state institutions into the religious affairs of a particular community. The study finally draws a parallel between the literate and illiterate strata of Muslim women and their perception toward the Triple Talaq Act.","PeriodicalId":45523,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs","volume":"42 1","pages":"487 - 499"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46277350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In most cases, such conflicts surface against the background of a deeper conflict between the cultural gender norms in their old and new countries. There is, however, little research on how those immigrant Muslim men manage and respond to such emotional and relationship conflicts, setting the stage for stereotypical accounts based on some false Orientalist and neo-Orientalist assumptions. Based on 33 interviews with Afghan Muslim immigrant men and drawing on Festinger’s theory of cognitive dissonance as well as Berry’s typology of immigrant acculturation, this study shows the diversity of: (a) the issues over which such conflicts emerge; and (b) the responses the subjects develop vis-à-vis those conflicts. The findings provide the contours of a theoretical framework for understanding the changing and diverse nature of Muslim masculinity in future research.","PeriodicalId":45523,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs","volume":"42 1","pages":"466 - 486"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44128214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The separate mechanisms of faith and secularism, which, as Judith Butler observes, may well be “a fugitive way” for certain kinds of “religion to survive”, are meshed together with the politics of representation and counter-representation of Islam and Muslims in the framing of identities. From the Babri masjid demolition to the wake of Ram mandir bhoomi pujan, and the hijab controversy, religion and culture run the risk of being employed in disloyalty, as a threat, in an artistically compromised manner.

The critical parameters of the study emerge from an investigation of the post-colonial context, suggesting in its process a displacement of the fixity of Manichean thought. Drawing upon Homi Bhabha's theorization on “third space” and “hybridity” and Edward Said’s “other”, the article demonstrates how the novel configures identities as woven through the rich cultural textualities that people live in and provides alternative spaces to deconstruct Eurocentric identity discourses. This article argues that the novel proposes a paradigm of idealized Muslim identity that deviates from reductive Eurocentric representations of Muslims as the “other” and exposes such reductive perspectives as traditional to Orientalist discourses.","PeriodicalId":45523,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs","volume":"42 1","pages":"522 - 533"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43495103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The participants are Arab citizens of Israel and were recruited through snowball sampling. The results show that their acquaintance with services was consistently higher than their consumption. Most participants believed they were capable of managing on their own or with the help of family or friends. More than a third reported distrust in the ability of the services to assist them, cultural misunderstanding, preference of services provided anonymously, and too much bureaucracy as barriers to service use. The greater the abuse or neglect in childhood, the lower the satisfaction with the use of services and the greater the barriers to services experienced. A positive link was found between poor economic status and the barriers. The findings suggest a need for adjustment of the services offered to young Arab women as ethnic minority group to increase their motivation to receive support.","PeriodicalId":45523,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs","volume":"42 1","pages":"409 - 427"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43599536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identity-formation is complex, involving the configuration of many influences—direct and indirect, local and global, personal and impersonal. Sometimes aspects of fluid, and multiple identities conflict and individuals are faced with navigating competing and not necessarily commensurable influences. Such is the case with the Canadian Muslim Youth—CMY. Thematic analysis of 30 interviews with CMY, identified five major themes: (a) Navigation of multiple, complex, and hybrid identities; (b) Religious identity and spirituality; (c) “I am not what you think I am”—Media portrayals of Muslims; (d) Claiming inclusion and belonging in the face of anti-Muslim racism; and (e) Recommendations.

The focus of this paper is to provide a reassessment of the often-reiterated claim that Mullah Abdullah was the mullah, imam, or “Islamic priest” of the Cameleer community in Broken Hill. After examining scholarly literature evidence will be drawn, primarily from newspaper reports of the period to assess what, if any, support there is for this claim.
