The Role Of The Organization Of African Unity (Oau) In Regional Conflict Resolution And Dispute Settlement, Peter Mweti Munya

LLM Theses and Essays

The emergence of an artificially constructed modern state with internal contradictions, sophisticated state apparatus, and weaponry, coupled with external forces has made Africa one of the most unstable regions in the world, and peace prospects a daunting task. The post-cold war era punctuated by forces of economic liberalization and dominance of the Breton Woods institutions in the economic management of the developing countries has not only accelerated the economic marginalization of Africa placing her at the fringes of the global economy but also wrought insecurity in their wake. This post-cold war and serves to emphasize the need for the OAU …

Protecting And Promoting Wildlife And Habitat On State And Private Land In Washington's Arid Interior, Gregory A. Hicks

Articles

The object of this paper is to describe efforts now under way in the interior uplands of Washington State's Columbia Plain to restore and protect upland wildlife habitat and wildlife species in a busy and intensively used agricultural and range landscape. It is a landscape of greatly diminished ecological integrity, dominated by private land holdings, and where the remaining public lands are recovering from earlier periods of farming or grazing or still dedicated to productive use under lease or permit. Recent ecosystem assessments make clear that there are few areas of the Columbia Plain's original grass and shrub land which …

The Bell Tolls For A Constitutional Right To Physician-Assisted Suicide, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

For Whom the Bell Tolls, Ernest Hemingway's novel about the Spanish Civil War, ends with its American hero, Robert Jordan, mortally wounded and trying to decide whether to commit suicide with a machine gun or risk capture by trying to retain consciousness long enough to cover the retreat of his comrades. Confronting his impending death, Jordan thinks, “Dying is only bad when it takes a long time and hurts so much that it humiliates you.” Hemingway, one of the most American of American writers, committed suicide with a shotgun. Most suicides in the United States are committed with guns, but …

“Doubly Condemned”: Adjustments To The Crime And Punishment Regime In The Late Slavery Period In The British Caribbean Colonies, Anthony De V. Phillips

Cardozo Law Review

Several good reasons must have led Michael Craton to choose the title for his very useful work, Searching for the Invisible Man: Slaves and Plantation Life in Jamaica. In the area of slavery and criminal sanctions, however, there is great difficulty with the idea of the "invisibility" of black people. Blacks were, in fact, "evervisible." Indeed, in view of their numbers and ubiquity, the slaves were at the forefront of the minds and concerns of all white people. This was especially true for the dominant political elite who made the laws and controlled the system of the administration of …

States As International Law-Breakers: Discrimination Against Immigrants And Welfare Reform, Elizabeth Landry

Washington Law Review

As part of the current "devolution revolution," policy makers at the state and federal levels are designing proposals that would permit states to discriminate on the basis of immigration status in determining eligibility for public education, medical care, social services, and cash assistance. This Comment asserts that such proposals violate international human rights norms, by which both federal and state governments are bound. Mbreover, it maintains that legislators must consider international law when crafting proposals that would allow discrimination on the basis of alienage. If they fail to do so, courts are obliged to intervene and ensure that treaty provisions …

Pleading Scienter Under Section 21d(B)(2) Of The Securities Exchange Act Of 1934: Motive, Opportunity, Recklessness, And The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Of 1995, William S. Lerach, Eric Alan Isaacson

San Diego Law Review

This Article discusses conflicting case law regarding the standard for pleading scienter under section 21D(b)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PSLRA) enacted section 21(b)(2). Several courts found that the standard for pleading scienter under section 21(b)(2) was the same as the Second Circuit requirement to show a "strong inference" of scienter in the pleadings. Other courts found that the pleading requirement in section 21(b)(2) was heightened above the Second Circuit standard. This Article reviews the text and structure of section 21(b)(2) and the conflicting case law, in order to determine …
