THE DAY Sergeant Stuart Pearson lost his leg began with an act of humanitarian decency. His 3 Para platoon was manning a remote observation post in the sun-baked hills above the strategically important Kajaki Dam straddling the Helmand River in Afghanistan. One of his team trained binoculars on the valley below and spotted two armed men in the distinctive black of the Taliban, setting up a road block.

NOTHING can ever prepare you for the shock of seeing - as i have seen in South Africa - a woman who is dying from Aids or starvation still trying to breastfeed her baby. Or for the despair when you realise that a little toddler who has been orphaned had been walking for miles in the freezing cold in Swaziland (as he does every day) to a tree next to a road, because he knows there will be women there who will provide him with his only meal for the day.

With this in mind, I would like to focus on the particular challenge of realizing justice in Africa for victims of international crime vis-à-vis the increasing orbit of intervention by the International Criminal Court (ICC), promise of the African Court and African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, and winding down processes of the international tribunals/ special courts for Rwanda and Sierra Leone, with a view toward suggesting avenues of research, and reflection, for what are in all estimations the world's most pressing crises.

ROGER DEAN'S office in the Sudan reached 55C in the dry season. Outside, the scrubby, dusty semi-desert was baked hard; inside, the 30-year-old Scot was bathed in sweat. He went to work at 4am once to see if it was cooler, but the temperature never dropped below 38C in that room. Dean worked as a logistician for Goal, a Dublin-based international aid agency. Goal does disaster relief and social development programmes. It doesn't do air-conditioning. After weeks of intense build-up, Dean would watch clouds forming overhead, swelling until they burst with the phenomenal biblical rains of the wet season. Overnight the temperature would plummet 20C, torrents of water bouncing off the earth, drenching the clay-like soil, creating rivers of mud in which the wheels of his car would simply spin...

The Evangelical conversion of Gypsy groups worldwide has attracted the attention of ethnologists, anthropologists, ethnomusicologists, historians and sociologists. The problems discussed in the literature are connected with the influence of the 'new' religion on the way of life and identity of the converts. What are the changes that the believers undergo in their everyday lives? How do they celebrate holidays and festive occasions like weddings? What is happening with the group and the religious and ethnic self-awareness of individuals? Does Evangelism lead to a kind of unification of the culture of separate Gypsy groups, which in turn results in the loss of part of the identity of the communities? Bulgaria is an interesting example of the spread of Evangelical Christianity among Gypsy ...
