Issue: Criminal Accountability of UN Officials on mission

Position: Head Chair/Co-Chair Introduction The criminal accountability of the UN Officials on mission is one of the legal issues, which has been debated through the Legal Committee for numerous years. The legal gaps make it difficult for the UN to hold personnel accountable for crimes committed in the missions under its jurisdiction. The UN personnel are being currently accountable only to their countries and their legislation or being protected by the international legal statute of immunity. The lack of accountability makes the whole organization less credible and reliable. With two different groups of UN personnel the troop contributing countries ...

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Charter of the United Nations are all supporting documents that were drafted by exists and technocrats drawn from all active member states and subsequently unanimously upheld as binding treaties. The major mission as contained in the two documents is to emphasize on the recognition of every human being as equal and insistence on a peaceful and harmonious existence. Although most of the information as contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Charter of the United Nations seems to converge, some articles and chapters are implicitly conflicting. Safe from ...

However, Jim and Laura later change their minds on purchasing the car upon which the dealer insists that the $100 deposit was meant to be part of the contract to purchase the car. The case raises important issues with regard to contract law. Therefore, before analyzing the facts of the case, it is essential to evaluate the various aspects that constitute a legally binding contract. An essential element of a legally binding contract ...

Judicial Activism of the Court of Justice of the European Union

Since the ECJ handed down the 2005 Mangold v. Helm case, there have been several criticisms provided by different scholars of the decisions it made and what they believed had various consequences for the European Union law. Essentially, the decisions made by the court involved several queries, but the main one was applicability of European Union age‐based anti‐discrimination law in situations involving the fixed‐term employment contracts. The contracts were founded on the law that permitted the fixed‐term contract with no demands for the objective reasons that justified the limitations of the employment period past the ...

A total of 57 million deaths were reported worldwide in 2008, and the majority of those deaths were caused by either non-cardiovascular diseases (36 million; 63%) or cardiovascular diseases (17.3 million; 30%) according to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2011). The highest mortality rates are associated with ischemic heart diseases and cerebrovascular diseases, which account for 45% and 29% of the cardiovascular-related deaths in men and 37% and 33% of cardiovascular-related deaths in women, respectively (see Figure 1). Ischemic heart disease is considered the most common cardiovascular cause of death as it accounts for 7.6 million deaths worldwide (Institute ...

Policy Manual Introduction

A policy manual is a general guideline that details the policies and best practices that an organization in a particular industry should follow. This is the case with health care in general and protecting patient data in particular. Starting from a manual system, an electronic or automated system has been found to enhance best practices in the field of health care (Hamilton, Jacob, Koch & Quammen, 2004).

Importance to Organization

It prepares a roadmap for daily administration. A policy manual is also a yardstick for performance. It can be used to train fresh recruits about the conduct desired. It can also be resorted ...

Introduction to Contracts

Just like any other website dealing with social media, Facebook has terms of service that users must accept by clicking on a box before they go on to create an active account. Many legal experts around the world have questioned the legality of the Facebook terms of service seeing that the agreement process is just ticking a box. However, such terms of service are legally binding, and a violation on either side can result in a legal issue. For instance, agreeing to the terms of service allows face access and use of your personal data for research and another ...

Introduction:

Nanobiotechnology serves as an imperative technique in the development of clean, nontoxic, and eco-friendly procedures for the synthesis and congregation of metal NPs having the intrinsic ability to reduce metals by specific metabolic pathways. Silver nanoparticles are particularly interesting nanoscale systems due to the ease with which they can be synthesised and modified chemically. Synthesis of silver nanoparticles has been widely researched due to their interesting size and shape-dependent properties [26]. These novel properties can be tailored by controlling their size, shape, composition, structure and crystallinity. Due to their size features and advantages over available anti-microbial properties, chemical imaging ...

Introduction

The English contract law consists of a body of rules that control contacts in England, with its foundation based on the intense activities of the judiciary that took place in the industrial revolution. It is critical to mention that the law shares some of its core elements with the commonwealth countries such as Australia and Canada. However, the law had for long been undergoing influences of the European Union during the period that the UK has been a member until this year when it withdrew the membership of the European body. The English law perceives people who enter into ...

Abstract

The United States Bill of Right is scattered in several Amendments of the Constitution due to the progressive developmental history of the U.S law and Constitution. Each amendment either introduced a new right or enhanced on the existing one. Of essence to my discussion, however, is the Due Process Clause was introduced in the American Bill of Rights by the Fourth Amendment to the U.S Constitution. As per the Amendment, no state should deprive any person his or her life, liberty, or property without following the due process of the law. In the Fifth Amendment, a similar stand was ...

Elements of a Valid Contract

A contract is essentially a meeting of minds, which may only occur when the following five elements are present: an offer, an acceptance of the offer, an intention to form a binding contract, a consideration, and capacity. An offer represents an intimation of the willingness to enter a contract on given terms, and must be made with the intention to be binding upon acceptance. It must be definite and certain, such that it will not necessitate further negotiations prior to acceptance (Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co., 1893). It should also look like a contract in the estimation of ...

Health Care

Under conventional repayment protection, the cash takes after the patient. Patients select human services suppliers and visit them as they pick. Suppliers at that point charge the private guarantor or open payer and are repaid on a charge for-administration or per case premise. This is known as Managed Care. The key issues associated with Managed Care are: I) Cost Savings II) Provider Reimbursement and III) Quality of Care . Cost Savings: Savings done by Managed Care are either not genuine, or are unsustainable. In a late review of shoppers, 60% said that managed care had either not had any kind ...

Introduction

There are several options open to Acme Fireworks. As a sole proprietorship, the owner is able to hire employees. The biggest benefit of a sole proprietorship is the easiness of dealing with taxes and the easiness of running the business. There are some drawbacks to being a sole proprietorship, such as the fact that the owner is personally liable for any legal situation that arises through various contracts or business deals (Dishman, 2010). The owner of Acme Fireworks should strongly consider upgrading his sole proprietorship because the business contracts appear like they may be permanent; regardless, as Acme is ...

Business, Company and Conveyancing Law

Part B Q. 1 Salomon v Salomon & Co. Ltd. (1897) is a landmark case on the incorporation, features, and nature of companies. The case is important in the formation of businesses in some respects. Firstly, the significance of the case with regards to the formation of companies is that it introduced the principle of a company being a separate, autonomous, distinct or independent entity from the owners or even the promoters of the enterprise. This is important in that it shields the owners from any liability that may be incurred on behalf of the company about its creditors. Further, ...

Contract of Sale of a Good and Legal Obligations of Concerned Parties

Introduction This research paper presents an analysis of a case study and is written to address breach of law of contract concerning sale of a good (bicycle) by a last year student named Jonas. He placed an advertisement in one of the sports magazine making an offer to the general public to sell his bicycle. Jonas was approached by two first year students named by Sarah and Saleh at different times on the same day. As this last year student was not aware about the telephonic message placed by Sarah, he sold the bicycle to another first year student ...

Discrimination is one of the most common themes in literary works and one that exists in the society since time immemorial. A person can get discriminated by his skin color, cultural background, or even gender. In the workplace, there are various types of discrimination. Discrimination can be directly or indirectly done. In a direct discrimination, a group or an individual is treated in a less favorable way. On the other hand, in an indirect discrimination, a practice or standard poses disadvantage on certain individuals or groups. Whichever the case maybe, the law prohibits discrimination based on personal characteristics. In ...

Introduction

Statements made prior to making a contract, as a rule, are not binding for the parties. At the same time, false or misleading statements made with the purpose of inducing another to enter into a contract can be found invalid, giving an innocent party the right to various remedies under the law. Under the common law, a victim of misrepresentation may be entitled to rescind the contract. Legislation, such as Australian Consumer Law, sets a pecuniary penalty in the event of breach of any of its provisions relating to consumer guarantees or false/misleading statements. Thus, the relevant case law ...

The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA)—Title 9, US Code, Section 1-14—was first enacted on February 12, 1925. FAA underwent a few developments through the years. It was codified on July 30, 1947 (61 Stat. 669).

Introduction

The large production of bisphenol A (BPA) in the world has been documented because of the increased usage of the same in various industries. The most critical industries that have been using this BPA include those manufacturing containers for foods and beverages, cigarette filters, thermal receipts as well as paper currency. With such a huge provision, it is critical that the basis of such developments only emanates from making the right choices over its uses because its production to a total of 2.7 million tons could be disastrous to the body. The main reasoning here is that the chemical ...

Transcriptional regulation of gene expression

Gene expression in eukaryotic cells is regulated at transcriptional, post transcriptional and translational levels (Tomizawa,  Lekstrom-Himes, and Xanthopoulos 17). Transcriptional control is the primary means of regulating gene expression. Eukaryotic transcriptional control functions at three levels: modulation of the activities of activators and repressors; variations in chromatin structure; and effect of activators and repressors on assembly of initiation complexes (Lodish et al. 368). Regulation of transcription initiation is the most widespread form of gene control in eukaryotes. However, in some cases, transcription may be attenuated and regulated at subsequent steps, such as during or after the transcription process (Cooper ...

In any event, a contract has implied and express terms. Express terms are easy to decipher, and they constitute the substantive part of the contract. Often, contracts impute binding obligations to the parties and violation of any term attracts liability. Implied terms of a contract operate in the underground. In an event of a claim of infringement, the court has to analyze both express and implied terms of the contract. Often, courts allocate liability depending on what term of the contract is in violation. In a practical scenario, some terms are more relevant than others. In the past, courts ...

Introduction – Background to the case

Negotiations are always a critical aspect related to the operations and management of an organization which is essentially of a non-profit character. Being the Chairperson of the Board at Midwestern Contemporary Art (MCA) it is important to have a balanced approach to the resolution of a conflict with the MCA and Peter and Catherine Smith. While it is indeed out of character to coerce the Smiths into payment of the pledge especially after being able to meet them and understanding their present predicament, it is also crucial to ensure that the best interests of the MCA are upheld especially ...

Mortgage

The mortgage is a security instrument in real estate that refers to a long-term loan that finances an individual’s purchasing ability of real estate. The property being purchased is used as security for the mortgage and the interested buyer is expected to make a regular series of payments without fail. Failure to pay the mortgage as per the agreed terms results in the repossession of the property, and it ...

Emma Williams’s Case

Arbitration is a formal process for determining a grievance between parties in a conflict. A labor arbitration process involves an employment-related dispute between an employer and employee. The authority of an arbitral award comes from the binding arbitral clause in a contract of employment or the authority given by the parties through the appointment (Walras, 2013). An arbitrator has quasi-judicial powers to investigate, listen to the grievances of the parties and provide a decision, which is binding on all parties involved in dispute. However, arbitration must be launched on time to have a force of law. The dispute in ...

Vid30 complex participation in the degradation of CDC25 in yeast and their role in Ras/ cAMP/ PKA pathway

Background: Unicellular organisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae in its total life cycle is exposed to diverse and changing nutrient conditions. Thus, in order to survive and achieve a competitive advantage, it has adapted itself such that it not only uses the wide range of available nutrient sources but also the sources that are nutrient rich. It mainly uses fructose and glucose by rapidly fermenting to alcohol. In response to these nutrient conditions, the intracellular trafficking transcription and turnover of protein from nutrient transporters (e.g. Hxts) get regulated. Therefore, when the availability of the glucose increases, the expression of low- ...

For years obtaining a marriage license was a requirement in order to say that your marriage was legal. In some states, there is a particular time frame in order to get your license before you marry or else you will have to delay the nuptials. However, each state has different requirements for couples wishing to be granted a marriage license. Marriage licenses are also used to prevent what the court considers to be inappropriate marriages. But after the U.S. Supreme Court made the decision to allow gay marriages to become legalized, some do not see the purpose of a ...

Biomolecules serve different functions in a cell. The three major classes of biomolecules in the cell are: proteins, nuclei acids and carbohydrates. These molecular structures serve nearly similar functions in most organisms. Though the function of protein in forming cell architecture, signaling and communication is well known, little is known about the role of carbohydrate in communication. Nevertheless, it goes un-denying that carbohydrates are indispensable for cellular communication and signaling, just like proteins and nucleic acids. The paper titled, Carbohydrates in Cell Recognition, by the authors Nathan Sharon and Halina Lis, is a good review that elucidates the significance ...

Introduction

Love is the most common and the most uncommon thing ever. The first epithet is characteristic for love, as this thing happens (or at least is supposed to happen) in everyone’s life regardless of life, whereas the word “uncommon” is natural for love as well, as it is as unique in every life as possible. Therefore, stories of Kalidasa and Chretien de Troyes are read with lightness; however the times of their creation have been covered with dust for many long years. Such lightness can be explained with the mere fact that authors touch such eternal topics, which ...

<Tutor> <Department> Simon hired the boy band No Direction to appear on the last episode of the show “You’re hired” with an agreement of £250,000 paid to each band members. The objective is to ensure the highest possible viewership and publicity, which in return will give the show a worldwide advertising revenue. Apparently, one of the members Payn is not very happy and as a goodwill gesture, he was offered a whole week of vacation with his fiance at Maldives. Unfortunately, Payn delivered a poor performance, which resulted to negative feedbacks from the press. Consequently, ...

This discussion focuses on a difficult area of contract law: verbal contracts and agreements. Verbal contracts and agreements are notoriously difficult because they do not rely on anything written: they are entirely the product of spoken interactions, and thus, they are subject to the memory of the individual parties (Beale et al. 2010). In this hypothetical, Simon offers to pay each band member £250,000; ostensibly, this payment is not the issue that is contentious, as each band member did indeed receive this money after completing the concert. Although the case study is not clear, it seems that this ...

Property deeds are very important in the real estate market, as they confer ownership of a house or real estate property from the owner to the seller. There are several different types of deeds, usually distinguished between the purposes of the buy; is the buyer making the purchase for a business, or as an individual consumer? Deeds have historical relevance, as various methods were historically used to officially confer ownership of a property to a new owner. Deeds must have several elements to be legally binding (Folger, 2011). They must be in writing to be official, as verbal sales ...

Business Law The contract that will be discussed for analysis in terms of business law is a rental or tenancy agreement initiated in Singapore by a friend who relocated with his family last November 2015. The legal definition of a real estate lease is referred to as a legal and binding contract amid the landlord and the tenant and for the contract to be binding the signing parties needs to be of legal age and competent to enter into an agreement (Kimmons, 2016). The issue that pertains to every contract law is with regards to how the contract is ...

Business Law

The situation that occurs in this case can be better understood through an analysis of the elements of a valid contract. To be more specific, the area of focus is “offer and acceptance” (Kubasek, et al., 2015). The response that Curly gives to Moe is an offer, as he clearly states the amount he is willing to sell the 50-acre tract. His offer is clear that he will not sell the tract for an amount below $1 million dollars. The response of Moe, on the other hand, is an acceptance of the offer, which is also an essential component ...

Walton came up with a distinct philosophical theory of reasonable argumentation fabricated around some practical examples, aimed at assisting people to recognize, carry out an analysis, and weigh arguments in a critical manner, so as to come to a consensus. This paper is a reflection of how my approach towards arguments changes, as a result of carefully reading Walton’s Argumentation Theory: A Very Short Introduction. Secondly, one should be in a position to inaugurate the party who originally made the assertion, and who is, therefore, accountable for providing confirmation as to why his/ her situation qualifies approval. Normally, ...

Introduction

There are several sources of law available in the legal practice, while the role of the judicial precedents is the most important one in the common law systems as the United Kingdom. In fact, all legal systems attempt to follow previously accepted judicial opinions as judicial precedents for creation the similar pattern around the dispute or particular case. In terms of the legal framework existing in the United Kingdom, the notion and nature of the judicial precedent should be considered as this particular jurisdiction is familiar with the doctrine of the binding precedent as the source of law and ...

1. a. The pKa value of an amino acid is an indication of how strong or weak an amino acid is, based on the said acid’s dissociation constant. An amino acid that has a high pKa value is weaker than on that has a low pka value. Given that an acid’s dissociation constant is Ka, the pKa value is given by the formula: pKa = -log10Ka pH = pKa + log ([A-]/[HA]),It follows that for Cys12, 7.4= 7.2 + log([Cys-]/[HCys]) 7.4-7.2 = log([Cys-]/[HCys]) 0.2 = log([Cys-]/[HCys]) 100.2= Cys-/HCys Therefore, Cys-/HCys = 10-4Similarly, ...

Muscle contraction is a very important activity that enables an organism perform various bodily movements and flexible actions, in response to nerve stimuli. Muscle fibers are multinucleated long cylindrical cells that have an outer membrane called sarcolemma, and are mainly composed of contractile elements called myofibrils (Dougherty, 2016). Myofibrils are made up of repeating units called sarcomeres. Sarcomeres in turn are composed of (thin) actin and (thick) myosin protein filaments called myofilaments (Dougherty, 2016). The muscle fiber structure and organization is shown in Fig 1.

Contraction Mechanism – Sliding Filament Theory

According to the sliding filament theory, during contraction myosin filaments remain constant in length, ...

Study

Will Manuel Perez prevail in invalidating the arbitration clause? Why or why not? Identify the ethical concerns regarding Walexron’s approach to the arbitration process and recommend actions Walexron could take to remedy the ethical concerns.

Manuel Perez has high chances of invalidating the arbitration clause in question for several reasons.

Firstly, the case materials indicate that there is no applicable arbitration clause at all. Thus, in Staschiak v. Certified Logistics, the court made a ruling that if there is a special disclaimer in the employee handbook, it may not be considered as a part of the employment contract. In addition, this ruling stipulated that the employment agreement should contain a specific reference that ...

The struggle for independence is not a new topic in Europe as the region’s history depicts a myriad of conflicts that occurred for the sake of independence from monarchies and the desire for self-governance. Throughout the past centuries, larger European empires broke down into smaller states while others merged to their partners or faded entirely. However, even after the Great Wars have ended, there were still factions hoping to separate themselves from their respective countries in the hopes of reestablishing their identities prior to their inclusion to larger countries. Catalonia, for instance, has been actively working on pushing ...

Gene Expression and Signaling Class

Short Answer Different Phenotype in PTEN Mutations While PTEN is either mutated or lost in both spontaneous and heritable cancers, the p110 alpha is frequently mutated in major forms of cancer such as breast cancer, endometrial, colorectal, ovarian, and prostate cancers with a greater prevalence of breast cancers (Nagata et al., 2004). Besides, the monoallelic loss of PTEN mostly contributes to the growth of tumor in the context of other somatic mutations in which case the count of PTEN proteins correlates with the severity of cancer, an indication that PTEN is haploinsufficient in functionality. Additionally, while the gene encodes ...

Introduction

Sexuality refers to sensation and linked closeness between two human beings. In psychological terms, sexuality is the way through which people make an expression of the completeness of love between a woman and a man. In biological terms, this is the means through which the conception of a child occurs and the ancestry is passed over to the next generation. The purpose of this paper is to look at the issue of public expressions of sexuality concerning the law in the United States. In this paper, is going to be established that public expressions of sexuality in the United ...

Abstract

Since the end of the Great Wars, the international community has worked double time to improve the human rights conditions of the public. Throughout the conflicts that transpired for years, citizens were persecuted in the most horrific means in order to gain information or punish the innocent. Several important conventions were established after the war to fight against these torture incidents such as the United Nations Convention Against Torture and the Geneva Convention. Many states are signatories of these Conventions; however, it is a question if these conventions can still be applicable today especially as several conflicts continue to ...

People working in manufacturing and chemical industries are more prone to health hazards as they are exposed to dangerous substances that have adverse health effects on them. Frequent exposure to synthetic substances causes nausea, vomiting, and headaches, which, if not treated at earlier stages turn into life threatening diseases. These substances directly or indirectly exert toxic elements through biological, chemical, physical, genetic or psychological agents on living organisms and other biological systems, and this study is known as toxicology. In an organism these toxic elements are absorbed systematically through the skin, lungs, or gastro-intestinal tracts. The effect of these ...

Introduction

The treatment for multitudes of diseases and disorders resulting from genetic reasons have been ambiguous since long as the only cure could be the correction of genes and DNA in the specific region. Gene therapy gave a promising horizon to the correction of such genetic defects whereby molecular tools are applied to reverse the mutation or any other changes in the DNA. The advancing biomedical research have offered several tools for gene therapy since last few decades that have been able to perform the desired roles but with one or the other limitations. Lately, CRISPR-Cas9 based tools for gene ...

Comparison among San Francisco, Las Vegas and New York’s Provisions on Grievance Procedures A grievance can simply be defined as a concern, complaint or problem related to the working environment. Due to the diversity at the workplace, people have different beliefs, opinions and thoughts about how to approach work and as a result they often have grievances relating to issues that arise from the workplace procedures. The Las Vegas collective bargaining agreement defines a grievance as a dispute or a difference of opinion between the employer and the Union with regard to the meaning, interpretation and application of ...

Abstract

This paper discusses how exercise stimulates the release of growth hormone. Older people tend to have lower levels of the hormone. As a result, mechanisms have been formulated to help deal with the deficiency which includes inducing the growth hormone into the individual’s body. This, therefore, leads to the discussion of the exact mechanism through which the growth hormone facilitates exercise, maintains growth and repair of worn out muscles or even reverses the aging process among the aged. Also, the functions of IGF-I binding proteins during exercise and its importance in aiding the release of the GH is ...

Based on the initial symptoms, the patient most likely suffers from hypothyroidism or low thyroid hormone disorder. Further clinical tests and an examination of the family’s medical history reveals that the particular disorder could be Hashimoto’s disease; also called Hashimoto thyroiditis. Hashimoto thyroiditis is classified as an autoimmune disease. In autoimmune disease, one's immune system attacks the body’s tissue specifically the thyroid gland (Skugor & Wilder, 2006, p.2). By attacking the thyroid gland, the disease reduces the gland’s ability to produce thyroid hormones of substantial quantity. This condition leads to hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormone deficiency presents with ...

Introduction

It is thought that the European Union, besides other markets, has liberalized the employment market by lowering the level of regulations in this sphere and enabling people from each Member State of the Union to become employed in any Member State. This has taken more than fifty years of deliberations and negotiations between the sides. Among the main instruments, which have been used during this procedure, we need to list social partnership and social dialogue as the procedures aimed at reaching consensus between the social partners. Additionally, the European Union as a result of implementation of the previously discussed ...

Assignment 2

PART A - (Total 15 marks)

Cephalexin and Gentamicin The mechanism of action of amoxicillin is focused on the prevention of the synthesis of the bacteria’s cell wall through the binding and inhibiting of the cell wall transpeptidases (Katzung, Masters, and Trevor, 2012). Specifically, it attaches to the penicillin-binding protein 1A found in the cell wall of bacteria. Then, the agent disintegrates the lactam ring to allow the acylation of the penicillin-sensitive transpeptidase C-terminal domain. The formation of the cross-link of the linear peptidoglycan strands is prevented by the inactivation of transpeptidases. Since the third and last stage ...

EU Common Security and Defense Policy

Increasing threats of the terrorism and insecurity have thrown the world into a frantic run of securing countries and regions. For the last few years, many countries have anchored their primary policies around the issue of security. Increasing cases of radicalization among the youth in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East have forced policy makers to rethink their strategies of curbing insecurity. To ensure increased protection of the citizens, governments, and regional blocs have taken to developing systems and policies that safeguard the people from acts of terrorism and insecurity. However, these policies are confronted with challenges and obstacles ...
