The fact that the parties to a dispute have total control over the process makes it more admirable as compared to the judicial process. The parties have the ability to make their own schedules and choose ...

Inaccuracies and uncertainties over such sensitive issues are best avoided. There are numerous international disputes over limits and boundaries, some of which could endanger peace ...

The respondent`s argument that in commodities trade any deviation from the contract is considered to be a fundamental breach, thus giving the possibility to avoid the contract, is without merit. The contract between claimant and respondent does not have any characteristics inherent to a commodity trading; the transaction itself is inconsistent with the requirements of commodity market. Commodities are substitutable goods produced by large number of producers in bulk quantities (Windsor, 2010). Coltan, on the other hand, is not a commodity; it is a non-substitutable material produced by a limited number of producers and used for the production ...

The Articles of Confederation did not include taxation power or any other power that would provide income for the national government. The meaning of an American democracy became a debating ...

Introduction

In Australian jurisprudence it is widely acknowledged that treaties ratified by the government do not assume direct incorporation into Australian law. In most nations or states, treaties are generally not considered part of domestic law unless and until the legislature enact them one way or another. In Australia, the situation is no different. In absence of a legislative process a treaty cannot create rights or impose obligations on the citizenry and residents. But this scenario does not mean that prior to incorporation treaties will not have any effect on Australian law. On the contrary, the Australian High Court held ...

Genocide was born out of the whims of political leaders whose powers met no restraints in the form of any formal convention. Political leaders gain motivation to commit genocide from their sheer dislike towards differences, often defined through nationality, religion and race, among others.

With that kind of awareness in mind, contemporary politics has become more sensitive in limiting the powers of political leaders. Notions on human ...

Execution of Juvenile Offenders

Why Some Countries Continue to Execute Juveniles Most of the world has abolished the death penalty for juvenile criminal offenders. The few countries that continue to execute minors for criminal offenses, Iran, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, do so for violations of religious codes, or qesas, even though they have abolished the death penalty for juvenile offenders who commit capital offenses. In these countries, a clear distinction is made between violation of the civil codes and “crimes against God.” Crimes against God are punishable by death (Convention on the Rights of the Child).
