"The United Nations Judicial Tribunals As Tools For Managerial Accountability", Tamara A. Shockley
Tamara A. Shockley
The United Nations General Assembly reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening managerial accountability in the United Nations. One of the essential components of accountability was the importance of managerial compliance with the Charter of the United Nations, General Assembly resolutions, and the UN Staff Regulations and Rules. As the General Assembly and staff members of the UN demand greater transparency in organizational decision-making, a new managerial tool for accountability has emerged in the UN in the form of UN Judicial Tribunals.

From Star Wars To Space Wars—The Next Strategic Frontier: Paradigms To Anchor Space Security, Jackson N. Maogoto, Steven Freeland
Jackson Nyamuya Maogoto
Military blueprints by major space-faring powers now encapsulate concepts of ‘space support’ and ‘force enhancement’ which point to a central role of space assets in facilitating military operations while notions of ‘space control’ and ‘force application’ suggest the weaponization of space, and the putative view that space may in the near future be a theatre of military operations. As defence goals increasingly focus on space as the final frontier evident in development of national missile defence systems, anti-satellite weapons and other space-based systems, international peace and security faces a new challenge. Creators of the current legal regime for space failed …

Jackson Nyamuya Maogoto
This article focuses on the application of the current laws of war to the emerging phenomenon of space weaponization and the increasing likelihood in the next few decades of space becoming a battleground. This predicament requires new ways of thinking and legal regulation, considering that the existing principles of the Laws of Armed Conflict (LOAC) are primarily focused on air, land and terrestrial warfare. This article addresses the special problems arising from applying the LOAC to space warfare. It will also analyze the significant problems posed by space assets dedicated to uses of both a civilian and military nature – …
