    America's stance toward the Ukraine-Russia war
    (University of Oum-El-Bouaghi, 2024) Fedjekhi, Kamar; Ghennam, Fatma
    This dissertation dissects the intricate relationship between the United Nations, international law and America's stand towards the Ukraine-Russia War. While recognizing the UN's essential function in fostering global stability, peace and order, the dissertation argues that its effectiveness is hampered by structural barriers and the geopolitical interests and calculations of powerful countries, specifically the USA. The dissertation highlights the importance of international law as a cornerstone of the UN Charter and examines the implementation of international regulations, emphasizing the significance of nations' compliance, diplomatic engagement, and international cooperation. This dissertation scrutinizes the responses of both the UN and the USA to the crisis and critically analyzes the constraints of the UN's reaction, specifically the limitations posed via the veto held by the Security Council members mainly the USA despite its self-proclaimed role as a defender of international law. Accordingly, the dissertation juxtaposes America's military aid and defense to Ukraine with its historical record of interventions and double standards in abiding to international norms and law. Most of all, this dissertation contends that the Ukraine-Russia War serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of the global order and the challenges faced by the United Nations. It underscores the urgent need for a renewed commitment to multilateralism and abidance to universal norms. The dissertation concludes that strengthening the UN's enforcement mechanisms and fostering international law are vital steps toward accomplishing global order, stability and peace.

    The Challenge of identity for Arab Americans
    (University of Oum El Bouaghi, 2023) Houhamdi, Yahia; Bensaad, Tarek; Ghennam, Fatma
    By examining the situation of Arab Americans in the USA in light of their immigration history and the selected demographic, social, and economic factors, this thesis investigates the identity crisis faced by Arab Americans. One of the main ways pursued by immigrants to integrate in the United States is through their sense of race. This research work covers the history of Arab immigration to the United States as an ethnic group in general, drawing on the concepts of fragmented assimilation. It unveils the impact of assimilation on the perspectives of second- and third-generation immigrants' descendants, as well as whether or not the assumption frequently made is based on a monolithic ethnic basis. The thesis argues that many Arab Americans, whether they identify themselves as Christians, Muslims, or those who perceive themselves as hyphenated Americans, find identity to be a myst to many Arab Americans. This thesis also deals with the most important element of the case of Arab Americans post 9/11: through the demonization of race. This is apparent through the negative and catastrophic repercussions of the September events on the Arab-Islamic world and also on Arab Americans.
