aeer-575	Garb, Paula	The Return of Refugees Viewed through the Prism of Blood Revenge	2000	4	.htm	application/pdf	2723	108	49	I first came across the phenomenon of blood revenge in the late 1970s and early 1980s in meetings with Abkhazian elders who served on local councils of elders; they told me about how they prevented animosities from escalating into revenge killing. A second argument made by Abkhazian elders is that rape or other indignities to women (harm to women is forbidden by the rules of blood revenge) are acts that preclude any resolution between two families and therefore preclude resolution with the Georgians since the Abkhazians maintain that crimes were committed against women.	cache/aeer-575.htm	txt/aeer-575.txt
