Corporate Risk Management And Risk Communication In The European Community And The United States, Michael S. Baram Apr 1989

Corporate Risk Management And Risk Communication In The European Community And The United States, Michael S. Baram

Faculty Scholarship

The responsibility of private firms to communicate hazard and risk information to government officials and persons at risk has emerged as one of the central features of corporate risk management in the European Community ("E.C.") and the United States ("U.S."). This function is commonly described as "risk communication."' In both the E.C. and the U.S., new legal requirements and public attitudes now promote corporate disclosure of hazard and risk information on an unprecedented scale.

Corporate risk management is a vast, complex field of activity that is largely unaddressed by commentators and unknown to the general public in both industrial societies. …


On The "Auschwitz Lie", Herbert A. Strauss, Ernst Nolte, Helge Grabitz, Christian Meier Apr 1989

On The "Auschwitz Lie", Herbert A. Strauss, Ernst Nolte, Helge Grabitz, Christian Meier

Michigan Law Review

In the November 1986 issue of the Michigan Law Review, Professor Eric Stein addressed the then-recent German legislation prohibiting the "Auschwitz lie." The "Auschwitz lie" refers to contemporary attempts to deny the historical truth of the Holocaust.

In the time since his article was published, Professor Stein has corresponded with several European scholars on the issues raised by the 1985 legislation. That correspondence, though brief, highlights the contentious aspects of Professor Stein's analysis; it suggests that the issues of restricting "historical speech," promoting national consciousness, attributing collective guilt, and identifying the role of courts in punishing historical lies remain troublesome …

Traditional Vietnamese Law--The Le Code--And Modern United States Law: A Comparative Analysis, Lan Quoc Nguyen Jan 1989

Traditional Vietnamese Law--The Le Code--And Modern United States Law: A Comparative Analysis, Lan Quoc Nguyen

UC Law SF International Law Review

In the fifteenth century the Vietnamese developed a comprehensive legal treatise, known as the Le Code, which included a number of advanced legal concepts. Many of those concepts, for example spousal immunity, the prohibition against ex post facto laws, and the rights of the accused to release on bail, a speedy public trial, and confrontation of witnesses, are similar to those found in modem United States law. This Note explores the amazing similarities between two legal systems that are foreign in time and culture from each other. By comparing sections of the Le Code with United States law, this Note …

Towards A Bill Of Rights For A Democratic South Africa, Albie Sachs

UC Law SF International Law Review

Instead of a bill of rights for post-apartheid South Africa being a means of protecting group privileges under the guise of protecting group rights, it should be an instrument for enlarging the freedom of the oppressed majority, recognizing the cultural diversity of the country, and guaranteeing equal individual rights for all, irrespective of race, color or creed.


Human Rights In Africa: A Cultural, Ideological, And Legal Examination, Ziyad Motala Jan 1989

Human Rights In Africa: A Cultural, Ideological, And Legal Examination, Ziyad Motala

UC Law SF International Law Review

This Article considers the dominant liberal interpretation of human rights and examines its relevance to African society in terms of its cultural and ideological origins. An argument is made that traditional African society had a conception of human rights which respected important human rights values. However, the rights in traditional African society were not conceptualized in individual terms. This constitutes a fundamental point of departure from the liberal interpretation. Furthermore, human rights practices should be understood, and criticisms against African societies made, in terms of traditional African conceptions. Finally, the African Charter of Human and People's Rights is evaluated in …
