“…One study noted that facilitators on a peer-education programme to reduce suicide should be reminded of the limits of their personal responsibility, and provided opportunities for group debriefing and social bonding in order to prevent burnout (Zachariah et al, 2018 ). Lastly, in a study evaluating large-scale psychosocial support interventions for Rohingya refugees, the authors stated that projects that involve international experts must strive for stability in management, rather than short-term tenures, which can lead to changes in strategy and difficulty in the implementation of programmes (Borja Jr. et al, 2019 ). This can subsequently result in unfavourable responses from other sectors, who devalue inconsistent programmes as disorganised.…”

“…Under this model, initial training is delivered to a small number of individuals who then go on to impact organisations. Given the importance of best understanding how to recruit, train and supervise those who deliver task-shifting approaches (Borja Jr. et al, 2019 ), future research may consider these factors in more detail, as a means of bridging the treatment gap between need and availability of care LAMICs.…”

“…As emotions are widely expressed via body processes, and acknowledging one’s strength is public is considered ostentatious, the authors adapted their programme to emphasise somatic experience and encourage children to take pride in their strengths whilst acknowledging weaknesses (Berger and Gelkopf, 2009 ). The importance of attending to the meaning and relevance of terms across languages to ensure comprehension was also recommended (Borja Jr.. et al, 2019 ), and to use qualitative methods to understand the context in the development and implemented on materials (Blake et al, 2017 ). This is particularly important during projects that involve the consecutive translation of materials across multiple languages, and in settings where concepts related to mental health are often new and not widely understood.…”

Children and adolescents in South Asia are exposed to significant mental health risks. Yet, policy to prevent treat youth mental health problems in this context is underdeveloped, and services are difficult to access. Community-based mental health treatment may offer a potential solution, by increasing resource capacity in deprived settings. However, little is known about the current community-based mental health provision for South Asian youth. A scoping review was conducted across six scientific databases and hand searching of reference lists to identify relevant studies. Study selection and data extraction were performed by three independent reviewers using pre-defined criteria, an adapted version of the TiDieR checklist, and the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. The search identified 19 relevant studies published from January 2000 to March 2020. Studies most frequently addressed PTSD and autism, were conducted in India and Sri Lanka, used education-based intervention, and were based in urban, school settings. Community-based mental health provision for the South Asian youth is in its infancy, but holds promise for providing essential resources to treat or prevent mental health disorder. New insights on approaches are discussed which are valuable for South Asian settings, primarily task-shifting and stigma reduction, with implications for policy, practice and research.

“…3 A number of nations have reported reducing the under-five mortality; however, developing countries of sub-Saharan Africa still have a really high under-five death rate. 4 Of an estimated 5.3 million under-five deaths in 2018, 52% of these deaths were reported from sub-Saharan Africa with an average under-five mortality of 78 per 1000 live births that could be attributed to several factors. 2 , 5 - 7 …”

Background: Ethiopia is ranked as the fifth of heavy under-five death burdened countries with the highest burden in its rural areas. This study aimed to identify the determinants of under-five deaths in rural parts of Ethiopia. Study Design: A population-based cross-sectional study. Methods: The data for this study was extracted from the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey. Descriptive analysis, non-parametric estimation, and Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to examine the determinants of under-five mortality. Results: A total of 7301 under-five eligible children from rural areas were involved in this survey, and 6.5% of the cases were passed away before reaching their fifth birthday. Male children’s death accounted for 59.7% of the death rate in the participants. An estimated median survival time was 31 months [95% CI: 30-32]. About 83% of children’s death occurred among children delivered at home. Cox proportional hazard regression model revealed that gender, delivery-place, family-size, mother’s education, number of children, contraceptive use, and source of drinking water had significant effects on survival time of underfive children. Under-five mortality was significantly fewer in female children (HR = 0.728; 95% CI: 0.606- 0.875, P = 0.001), children delivered at health facilities (HR = 0.738; 95% CI: 0.572-0.951, P = 0.019), and those from secondary and above educated mothers (HR = 0.464; 95% CI: 0.301-0.714, P = 0.001), compared to the reference category. Conclusion: Significant risk factors were associated with under-five mortality in rural areas. Delivering in health facilities, uses of contraceptives, mother’s education, and improvement of infrastructures should be areas of concern to decrease under-five children’s deaths.

How to Win a Genocide Case: Analyzing the Triple Strategy of the Advocates of the Rohingya in Myanmar

The Rohingya Muslim minority in Myanmar was subjected to discrimination and gross violations of human rights for many decades. During the last two waves of military crackdowns in Rakhine State (October 2016 to January 2017; August to September 2017), the Tatmadaw army and civilians committed atrocities against the Rohingya that amounted to crimes against humanity and genocide. Advocates for the Rohingya's suffering took action to leverage the findings of the investigations of international mechanisms. They endeavored for an international condemnation of Myanmar at the ICJ, and they filed a complaint in an Argentinian court for the application of universal jurisdiction to prosecute the military and the political leadership responsible for ordering and committing the atrocities. They also encouraged an investigation of the atrocities in the ICC. The litigators’ main focus was set on genocide. However, while genocide carries the stigma of being the most heinous of crimes, it is also the hardest to prove, particularly the special intent to commit it. This article assesses the chances of the triple strategy applied by the Rohingya advocates. It argues that litigating the case in three different fora, assures that the forums back each other up, so that the flaws of one are compensated by the others. Thus, the chances for accountability for the crime of genocide are increased. The fora work interoperably to achieve the goal of proving the occurrence of genocide in Myanmar so as to impose state responsibility and individual criminal responsibility.
