9 ways how you can fight Incitement to Genocide

  9 ways how you can fight Incitement to Genocide By Daiemah Malik  Hear what books say not hearsay In this era of technology, follow the three R’s before forming firm and rigid opinions based on unverifiable and often prejudice-based information. The 3Rs are- Read; Research; And Re-educate yourself. Face the Phase Learn what Prejudice behavior is and how a person who has learned such a behavior acts. It’s not a phase that the person is going through, people develop a prejudiced personality by learning it and the only way to break through such cycles is to unlearn such detrimental and stereotypical thought processes. Check before you wreck Words can kill, literally. Your Freedom to Expression shouldn’t deter the existence of another human.  Think and Check what you speak and the vocabulary you use to refer to people. Offensive terminology must not be used at all times as it causes both mental and psychological Trauma to the victim and cultivates the culture o

The cons of conflict

  THE CONS OF CONFLICT - Daiemah Malik delineates “My fist is in his mouth, his fist is in my eye” - A Yemeni proverb. The national anthem of Yemen pleads, “My nation, give me strength, Oh source of strength And save me for you, the best of nations.” But what if I tell you this source of strength for over 28 million people is falling apart and the worse hit are the 14 million pleaders who apparently recognise as women. At present, Yemen ranks the lowest in the world at the fulfilment index of the Sustainable Development Goal – 5: Gender equality. Women, in general, have had a long history of prejudice across all cultures. And their condition tends to worsen in times of wars, pandemics, insurgencies and well, daily life. Reports suggest that the hazy cloud of the prevalent view of “gender appropriate behavior” in Yemen is slowly clearing out but the fist in your mouth has been inhaling this intoxicated air of violence from a long while now and their misery is not just

Hindi Medium?

  Hindi Medium? - By Daiemah Malik I stand in midst of a Chawl, People ready to kill for a rigged shawl. But from where I come from: they want to beat, The elite. Where education is an industry; yet another capitalist mystery. Yes, I live in a land where you are considered a freak; If the colonizer’s tongue is what you don’t speak. For some, poverty is a mere concept that needs to be explained, For others, a harsh reality that is engraved. They say they’ll soon find a new world to extort: But standing here, I see the fall of multiple worlds at different rates of course. The first world has a grand view from the manor in Vasant Vihar; But that was never all glamorous dresses and pricy tags were indeed the ‘need’, The second world is the fight of the fittest to serve none but the mall; But here in this third world of Bharat Nagar their lives and breeds disease, hunger and hope. Here, People strive for water; They work endless hours for feeding their newborn; Just so

UN WOMEN

  UNITED NATIONS WOMEN -Daiemah Malik promulgates “Feminism isn’t about making women strong. They already are. It’s about changing the way the world perceives that strength. UN WOMEN is a unit of the UN, dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. They work with the governments of all the member countries in order to make women self reliable and independent of their male counterparts. The major focus stays on the rural women so that they get more income security, decent work and economic autonomy. As they say, ‘women can do anything that a man can.’ But the reality is that a man or a woman regardless of their gender can achieve all that they admire with self determination and hardwork. The UN has set up sustainable development goals, a.k.a., SDGs to help the rural women to earn from skilled work and to participate equally, lead and benefit equally from the governance systems. Women, indeed should focus on becoming successful as an individual instead of b

The Euphemistic Silhouette

  The Euphemistic Silhouette Daiemah Malik delineates the proceedings of the International Law Commission In a bid to try the foundation of all trials, the delegates venture to find loopholes and analyze current legal provisions of incitement to genocide with special focus to Article 25 (3) (e) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The delegates make attempts to unveil the euphemistic silhouette the perpetrators of Genocides often use to cover up their sins as incitement is often said to be the best predictor of genocide. The committee describes that incitement to genocide must be made strictly liable and direct or indirect ‘soundtracks to genocide’ should be made a separate crime. “The Rome Statute is so flawed that it doesn’t even cover all crimes……..How do you prove a Causal link between violence that has not yet occurred?”, questions the delegate of United States Of America and highlights the flawed and vague nature of the Rome statute.  The delegate further

a father's plea

  Respected ma’am, I, Suresh Sinha, an assistant manager at your firm, request you to kindly grant me a 3-month long paid paternal leave. In view of the fact that my partner and I recently gave birth to our child and Ms. Nailea Sen, who is a Senior manager at the same firm and also my partner in parenting our newborn, would like to focus on her career and I would love to harbor my end of parental duties by staying home and catering to the needs and wants of our child. I do very well acknowledge the fact that it is not our company’s policy to grant paternal leave for more than 3 days- yet another patriarchal norm that predisposes it to be just the mother’s duty to raise the child; to which I have decided not to succumb. Our society likes to stay under the bell jar because lifting the bell jar would mean exposing the whole system of scams to a bigger predator- Uncertainty. It is this fear that we often choose to stick to patterns and not deviate. When I first joined in as an in

ILLICIT ARM’S TRADE- AN APPREHENSION TO CIVVY FATALITY

  ILLICIT ARM’S TRADE- AN APPREHENSION TO CIVVY FATALITY    -Daiemah Malik delineates                            “There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people. The illegal trade of weapons and arms has been an alarming issue worldwide, with illegal trade being 10-20% of the total global arms trade of $60 billion a year. Therefore, The UN had to intervene in this distressing issue and so it formed the UNGA DISEC in order to maintain world peace. The UNGA was established to deal with disarmament, global challenges and threats to peace that affect the international community and to look after the security of the civilians. At the request of the UNGA the UNSC held its first conference in 2001 to seek out solutions for the harms caused by the illegal trade of arms to the sinless. The primary step to be taken is to reduce the pre-existing stockpile of illegitimate trade of weapons and to prevent all the unlawful future trade. The existing illegal weapons
