He foregrounded their courtesy in their cross-racial relationships, and also, the sophistication of their literary expression that has captured the attention of many countries.

        British Telegraph Service in Arabian Gulf

        by Naimah Salem Obaid Al Suwaidi

        Since the nineteenth century, telegraph service is one of the greatest modern technologies in the field of communication and was used on a large scale and in several fields. Between the stages of its inception in the region and difficulties and challenges, the author narrates the historical events that extended from 1864 to 1971 to extend the telegraph lines and the stages of its development. Despite the difficulties and challenges, the UAE succeeded, after the birth of the Union, in transforming the telegraph project, which was a means of British colonial control over the region, to use it to serve the UAE'S interests in the social, economic and political areas.

      • INTRODUCTION TO INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW

        by Authors: Nehaluddin Ahmad, Nurzakiah Haji Ramlee and Norulaziemah binti Zulkiffle

        This book seeks to provide an introduction to international human rights law, particularly those primary sources (treaties, other instruments, and jurisprudence) which explain the fundamental rights and freedoms to which we are all entitled and provide an overview of related issues from a legal and social science perspective. It provides a foundation for those who want to learn the basic parameters of this field but also promotes new thinking and frameworks for the study of human rights in the twenty-first century. Human rights as an area of academic interest cannot be easily divorced from human rights struggles and the reality of contemporary conditions. The book discusses the United Nations; the United Nations’ organizational structure; regional protection of human rights; Europe; the Americas; Asia, and Africa; key treaties and mechanisms for monitoring, implementing, and enforcing human rights. However, with the constraint of space, it cannot cover the entire range of rights and freedoms. Rather it takes a thematic approach, attempting to draw together the main areas of activity under umbrella headings, demonstrating the interdependence and indivisibility of international human rights.  It has been written in a manner that seeks to be comprehen­sible without avoiding any of the complicated topics which require explanation. The book will benefit students, academicians, and practitioners who would like to develop further their understanding of Human Rights Law.
