The Hopeful, Bonnie Robinson

Theses and Dissertations

"To define faith, to explain it, is nearly impossible, but to see it, to watch it at work, and even better, to experience it, to claim it, is absolutely indescribable. The characters in these stories are people of faith whose lives have become difficult, and whose questions have become in many ways unanswerable. But they continue to seek, and to hope, and eventually they come to see that 'revelation occurs in the texture of daily life' (see acknowledgements)"--Page vii

If You See Something Wrong: The Life And Work Of Raya Kadyrova Of Kyrgyzstan, Kaitlin Barker

Kroc IPJ Research and Resources

Women on the frontline of efforts to end violence and secure a just peace seldom record their experiences, activities and insights – as generally there is no time or, perhaps, they do not have formal education that would help them record their stories. The Women PeaceMakers Program is a selective program for leaders who want to document, share and build upon their unique peacemaking stories. Selected peacemakers join the IPJ for an eight-week residency.

Women PeaceMakers are paired with a Peace Writer to document in written form their story of living in conflict and building peace in their communities and …

Islam And The Challenge Of Democratic Commitment, Dr. Khaled Abou El-Fadl

Fordham International Law Journal

The author will argue in this Article that it is indeed possible to reconcile Islam with a commitment in favor of democracy. The author will then present a systematic exploration of Islamic theology and law as it relates to a democratic system of government, and in this context, address the various elements within Islamic belief and practice that promote, challenge, or hinder the emergence of an ideological commitment in favor of democracy. In many ways, …

Judicial Activism Of The Shari'ah Appeals Court In Israel (1994 - 2001): Rise And Crisis, Dr. Moussa Abou Ramadan

Fordham International Law Journal

The main thesis of this Article is that after 1994, with the nomination of new qadis to the Shari‘ah Court, a process of judicial activism began, which continues until this day. This process has been characterized by the qadis' attempts to strengthen the position of the Shari‘ah Appeals Court. In some fields the qadis' activism has been more successful than in others. Recently however, it seems that the Shari‘ah system is undergoing a crisis. The author will analyze the actions of the Shari‘ah Appeals Court on several parallel levels: (1) the strengthening of its position compared with those of the …

Penumbras, Privacy, And The Death Of Morals-Based Legislation: Comparing U.S. Constitutional Law With The Inherent Right Of Privacy In Islamic Jurisprudence, Seema Saifee

Fordham International Law Journal

In an effort to separate the Islamic regulatory scheme with respect to the criminalization of consensual sexual conduct from the caricature espoused by many Western thinkers, this Note provides a comparative analysis of the criminalization of private consensual sexual conduct in Islamic law and U.S. constitutional jurisprudence on the right of privacy. Part I provides a brief background of Islamic and U.S. criminal regulations on consensual sex and outlines the evolution of constitutional privacy jurisprudence in the U.S. Supreme Court. Part II first examines the evidentiary and procedural requirements pertaining to the criminalization of consensual sexual intercourse in Islamic law, …

Fundamental Facets Of The United States-Jordan Free Trade Agreement: E-Commerce, Dispute Resolution, And Beyond, Mohammad Nsour

Due to the fact that the World Trade Organization's ("WTO") dispute settlement system is the dominant one for trade disputes, Part II …

The Trial Of Saddam Hussein: What Kind Of Court Should Prosecute Saddam Hussein And Others For Human Rights Abuses, Justice Richard Goldstone

Fordham International Law Journal

The capture of Saddam Hussein alive is of course a cause for rejoicing. His crimes were massive. He left hundreds of thousands of victims in Iraq; the Shiites who dared to oppose him, the Kurds against whom he committed a most terrible genocide. The question now and the subject of this talk is what to do in order to bring him justice. Having captured him and some of his chief lieutenants, how should they be brought to justice? Broadly speaking, there are four options. The first is a wholly domestic trial in Baghdad before Iraqi judges. The second option would …

This Article will consider the following: Part I will discuss some general issues concerning dispute settlement internationally. Part II discuss dispute settlement systems in the Regional Economic Groupings, including the World Trade Organization ("WTO") (as evidenced in the infamous "Banana Dispute") and the future Free Trade Area of the Americas ("FTAA"), given that the Revised Treaty will be notified under article XXIV of the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs 1994 and will presumably be accepted as being consistent with the understanding thereunder. Part III will examine the Role of the CCJ as the judicial organ of CARICOM and the …
