Piracy in Somalia is a symptom of a wider problem ashore. Creating conditions for effective governance and promoting the rule of law are crucial for a sustainable solution. The establishment of a hybrid court incorporated in the jurisdictional Somali system would be an important contribution for the prosecution of suspected pirates and thus to the fight against piracy. Moreover, the court would also contribute to the effective governance in Somalia by promoting the rule of law and the existence of effective judicial institutions. This strategy could be relevant to other situations when a collapsed State serves as a hub to transnational organized crime. Adapted from the source document.
This article examines the evolution of Portuguese colonial policies regarding Islam in Guinea and Mozambique. Such policies turned from an image of Muslim as foe to a more reconciling picture, in which Muslims could be presented as potential allies of the Portuguese power in the war against nationalist movements. The article analyses those strategies and the actors that were behind them: the Catholic Church, the core of political power and its local ramifications in the colonies.

Radical pan-Islamism is a serious threat to universal secularism, the central norm of international order since the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. International secularism rests on two principles: firstly, the organization of religion within states is subject to their sovereignty & not to supranational or transnational revolutionary movements, & secondly, religion must not determine the foreign policies & the alliances of the state. The resurgence of pan-Islamic radicalism since September 11, 2001 as a central issue in world politics challenges both principles. Adapted from the source document.
