Turin's place in the history of the Arditi del Popolo movement has been almost completely ignored. The communist and socialist parties' denunciation of the ADP had led to suggestions that the ADP in Turin had little impact or was simply a communist movement. This article states that the experience of the ADP in Turin should be seen against the backdrop of antecedent forms of working class defence organization. Through an examination of working class defence organization between 1919 and 1922, the article argues that Turin's response to the ADP was based more on non-sectarian community-based networks of sociability and solidarity, and an instinct for survival at times of crisis, rather than simply political affiliation or ideology. In this way the article recasts the relationship between the organized workers' movement and the wider working class by showing how resistance could be turned against the workers' leaders, particularly when they were held to have misunderstood the situation at the grass-roots level. The article also argues that the popular non-sectarian experience of the ADP in Turin had an important influence on later communist-led anti-fascist organization.

Abstract
Only three years after the 1864 Convention — historically the "first"
Geneva Convention — was adopted, proposals were made to amend the text by
introducing provisions on the National Red Cross Societies. However, the
result of this procedure — the 1868 Additional Articles — was never ratified
by any of the parties to the original treaty. In the years that followed, no
less than five proposals were circulated by the ICRC, none of which led to
new treaty provisions until, in 1906, the States adopted a new Convention to
replace the original 1864 treaty. Although the proposed texts originated in
Geneva — drafted by General Dufour and Gustave Moynier — the ICRC remained
sceptical about the wisdom of amending the original Convention. The fear of
losing what had been gained in 1864 was stronger than the expectation that
new progress would be made in protecting war victims. In an annex to this
article the various drafts are published for the first time.

Cette mission s'est déroulée en Côte d'Ivoire et au Mali. En Côte d'Ivoire, l'objectif était la préparation d'un projet de recherche-développement d'intérêt commun CIRAD-I2T en Technologie alimentaire. Le thème retenu pour une durée de 3 ans concerne : "Recherche-développement des procédés et des équipements d'extraction et de séchage de l'amidon natif et de l'amidon modifié de manioc." La mission a permis de définir la contenu scientifique du projet, d'évaluer les moyens nécessaires à sa réalisation et d'en programmer l'exécution. Au Mali, la mission visait à évaluer les conditions nécessaires au renforcement sollicité par l'IER (Bamako) pour appuyer les innovations technologiques et les transférer au secteur privé de la transformation alimentaire. La mission a débouché sur le besoin préalable de renforcer le partenariat IER-APROFA dans le domaine de la transformation des produits locaux
