Antara, in you are a student at Kings, there is a petition for KCL students only. You need to write your student number and full name. A general petition from the public would not make a difference as it is a privately funded institution. (unless you do a grand scale operation and tarnish its name beyond believe, coupled with a reduction in the number of new applicants this year.) Failing that, collecting list of names who are not stakeholders at KCL is dead end campaign. Few things which have an immediate impact that I would suggest are: - Those who have 50% of their fees still outstanding can also refuse to pay up and drag It out (I hear some people have already done this, but it needs to be more organized and systematic rather than random) - Students can put in transfer requests at KCL for next year, when they ask for a reason, say you are too ashamed to be associated with KCL for their actions. (Again this needs to happen in an organized/ systematic manner rather than two or three students.) The truth is I don’t think people care enough to move or do either of those things which have an immediate impact. Therefore by all means do a petition, but at least it must be student based. Good luck

First-ever trial at International Criminal Court, on use of child soldiers, opens 26 January 2009 – Legal history was made today in The Hague, the Netherlands, when the International Criminal Court (ICC), which was mandated to try war crimes beginning in 2002, put its first suspect taken into custody, a Congolese warlord accused of recruiting child soldiers, on trial. The case of Thomas Lubanga Dyilo represents not only the debut proceedings of the ICC but also the first trial in the history of international law to see the active participation of victims in the proceedings, among which will number child combatants. In today’s proceedings, a plea of not guilty was entered by Mr. Lubanga, the founder and leader of the Union of Congolese Patriots in the Ituri region of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). He is accused of a series of war crimes, including conscripting and enlisting child soldiers into the military wing of his group and then using them to participate in hostilities between September 2002 and August 2003. In June 2008, the Court decided to impose a stay of proceedings in the case because of non-disclosure of documents on the part of prosecutors but it reversed that decision this past November because the reasons for the stay had “fallen away.” The hearings will be held before the Court’s Trial Chamber I, before Presiding Judge Adrian Fulford of the United Kingdom and Judges Elisabeth Odio Benito of Costa Rica and René Blattmann of Bolivia, according to an ICC press release. The ICC added that during the hearings, the Office of the Prosecutor, whose lead counsel is Deputy Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, will present a large number of the 1,671 documents which it has compiled in the case, as well as videos allegedly showing Mr. Lubanga in training camps in the company of recruits whose age seems to be below 15. Established by the Rome Statute of 1998, the ICC can try cases involving individuals charged with war crimes committed since July 2002. The UN Security Council, the ICC Prosecutor or a State Party to the Court can initiate any proceedings, and the ICC only acts when countries themselves are unwilling or unable to investigate or prosecute. Also today, Alan Doss, the Special Representative of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in the DRC, launched an appeal to armed groups in the central African country to demobilize the child soldiers that they have continued to recruit and deploy. Children’s protection organizations estimate that around 3,000 children are still among the ranks of those groups, mostly in the eastern Kivu provinces. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/new s/2009/01/mil-090126-unnews01.htm

^^^Interesting okay then. Warya Marx, there are many who fit that list I see going into your univeristy everyday, miid kuu qaabo. Waa maaxey SOL taawaarisigu That is assuming Underdog and Faheema are correct

^^^I took it as what he thinks women want in a MAN

^^^I eat none stop, I don’t have meal times, never bothered me before. Then I went to my GP a while back about my backache, and she said. Well, you should lose weight and exercises! Then she went on to give me tips about eating set meals and not snacking. :mad: I live on bloody snacking. Since I’ve been noticing how much I eat :eek: although I’ve not done anything about cutting it down. Anyway: Someone just sent me a txt: “Bra sizes, have you ever wondered why ABCD DD E F G and H are the letters used to define bra sizes? Have you wondered why, but couldn’t figure out what the letters stood for. Well it is about you become informed: (A) Almost Boobs (B) Barely there © Can’t complain (D) Damn! DD) Double Damn! E) Enormous! F) Fake G) Get a Reduction H) Help me, I’ve fallen and I can’t get Up! HAHAHA

^^^I don't know what kind of miyi you grew up in, but the miyi mentality is that even when you have nothing, you are rich in your mind. I don't care too much for people poverty kuu faana like it is something good, normally those people have never experienced poverty, it is no fun I tell ya. Nor can miyi be compared to ghettoes of the world, :rolleyes: Miyi is the so bad [or was it nagh]

^^^Why do you insist on typing like a retard these days, next time I see you laabaad indhood baan kuu kooinayah, to help you remember your english! You dig Underdog: Aaah a good actor/ illusionist, okay, as you were then nerviska iska saar.

^^^I know hence my question, I'm scared I'm heading down your road, angry all the time

In the women section: Half hearted request! LOL only section worse than this [activity wise] is the student section. LOL I doubt admin comes here. I don't care if he come back, waan kaa adka kaas anyway.Waab qoosol niin weyen oo ooyiayah Add me to the list to those who request his return. I mean who else ayaan neerifiska kuu jeebianiyah. P.s. DQ hates women, he thinks they are bimbos- passed around like commodities and who should not talk to men. I think he meant only northern women if that is any comfort. so worse section to start this movement. :rolleyes:

^^^Are you always so angry dear? LOOL @ hijabi militants, I was nice to him compared to these soo maah.

^^^LOOOL HAHA Marx errr you need a better list, kaas waaxab luuguma faalo. Sounds like [half a man] rather than a real man

A man kissed you and you did nothing, thinking it was normal!! :eek: Bloody Arab LOL CL, I've done it too many times to remember, I always leave mine on trains and buses and only remember when I get outside and see the rain. People I share with always joke; but your okay, because at least you got your head covered so your hair won't get wet.

CL only thing strange about it is walking along in silence, normally people chat about how bad the whether is. I've done that before (ducked in with someone who was heading same way, but I make conversation) P.s. Resistance I think it happened yesterday, she's been recovering ever since and was only able to tell us today

This is the 20th time this topic has come up in SOL.

Waa just firm words, they are not going anywhere, wuu yaar jiibodey half way through his speech. Naad you chat rubbish. Ciida isku roog

JB, they are also launching their Islamic banking in Dubia, I think the aim is by end of summer. Mashallah to them (don't want innan (or others) cawriyo)

^^WHo TOLD YOU waad soo daafi kaarta!! :mad: Get out, out [Gene qabyo style shouting- OUT]

Xidigo JB (Naden has never openly said so) is a None-Muslim and openly mocks religion (all of them as an atheist) anything he says is therefore deemed as mockary and insult. His intent is clear and does not require benefit of doubt. Marx on the other hand is a Muslim, he does deserve benefit of doubt (which is a concept only used for fellow Muslims) you are barking up the wrong tree my dear, on what platform can you compare the opinion of an atheist and a Muslim on religion. Ngonge :rolleyes:

Booho the victim card comes out. Marx you are/ may be more knowledgeable than me or others, and may be a better more aware Muslim. Nevertheless regardless of how you take it, "my so called righteous arrogance" in this topic is my opinion. Clearly you did not expect everyone to agree with you, my opinion is that the objection is at best based on superficiality, because these women are embarrassing “us”. I cannot judge you on your intentions, because I did not know them, and I certainly had no intention to make you FEEL like some kind of apostle. I just told you, that you don't have a leg to stand on. No one issued a fatwa or CAN have a monoploy in Islamic knowledge, but when you err as in this case, you cannot be mad at those trying to pull you back.

LOOL @ Waa in kisto lacag xamaalada kuugu guntantahey. You guys should just become your husbands PA, manage everything as you like, statements and all, have a little table in the "office" at home to manage your affairs in a joint account. You are entitled to maintenance in any case.

^^^Clearly shows ME team is just :rolleyes: Nacasnimaad laa faadiso PLZ. Nuune; I'm not game, please find someone else.
