Vaguely Going Where No-One Has Gone: The Expansive New Computer Access Offences, Alex Steel

Alex Steel

Both the New South Wales and Australian Commonwealth governments have enacted major reforms to computer - related offences. These reforms are based on the Model Criminal Code Chapter Four: Damage and Computer Offences. The reforms move from an emphasis on access to an emphasis on damage. While they provide principled limitations on some previous offences they also introduce new sweeping offences relating to network impairment and control of data preparatory to other offences. This article outlines the elements of these new offences and highlights the issues that are likely to arise in their enforcement.

Revisiting The Balkan Crisis: A Un Question; The European Connection And The Us Solution. , Jackson N. Maogoto

Jackson Nyamuya Maogoto

This Article examines the conflict in the former Yugoslavia which gave birth to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTFY). The ICTFY established the beginning of a new pattern in the genuine international implementation of international criminal and humanitarian law and the move back to the international model inaugurated at Nuremberg which had in the Cold War era been boldly supplanted by national prosecutions. The Article seeks to show that even this ad hoc tribunal was the by-product of international realpolitik. It was born out of a political desire to redeem the international community’s conscience rather than the …

“Now You See, Now You Don’T: The Duty Of The State To Investigate And Prosecute ‘Disappearances And Extra Judicial Executions, Jackson N. Maogoto

Jackson Nyamuya Maogoto

This article sets out to explore the duty of a state to punish “disappearances” and extra-judicial executions. Section II will introduce generally the spectre of forced “disappearances” and extra-judicial executions as conceived by Hitler (arguably the architect of the institutionalisation of this atrocious practice by the state) and outline a brief commentary on the scourge. Section III will define “disappearances” and extra-judicial executions. It will further discuss the attractiveness of this form of human rights violation as an instrument of governmental policy to states. Section IV will discuss developed principles of international law, both customary and conventional, that outlaw “disappearances” …

Presiding Over The Ex-President: A Look At Superior Responsibility In The Light Of The Kosovo Indictment, Jackson N. Maogoto

Jackson Nyamuya Maogoto

Individual criminal responsibility, and command responsibility in particular, are important because, to deter human rights abuses, potential perpetrators must perceive prosecution as a possible consequence of their actions. Historically, the doctrine of command responsibility has been an important tool to hold accountable leaders who plan, participate in, or acquiesce in large-scale human rights abuses. The scope of the command responsibility doctrine remains one of the most important issues in prosecuting human rights atrocities. The scope of the doctrine determines the degree to which a leader can insulate himself from criminal culpability when the criminal acts were committed by others but …

Israeli Legal History: Past And Present, Ron Harris, Alexandre (Sandy) Kedar, Pnina Lahav, Asaf Likhovski

Ron Harris

עוד שבתחומי חיים אחרים - בטחוניים, מדיניים, כלכליים, התיישבותיים וחברתיים - הקים היישוב היהודי בתקופת המנדט תשתית יישובית ניכרת, לקראת הרגע של הקמת המדינה, הרי שעיקר הקיים בתחום המשפטי היה מדינתי-בריטי ולא קהילתי-יהודי. אמנם התקיימו בתקופה זו מערכת משפט דתית-רבנית, "משפט שלום" עברי-לאומי וולונטרי ו"משפט חברים" הסתדרותי, אך אלו לא אומצו על-ידי הזרמים הדומיננטיים בהנהגה היישובית הציונית ולא היוו בסיס למשפט המדינה העתידה. יום העצמאות, ה' באייר תש"ח, מצא אפוא את היישוב היהודי בארץ-ישראל ללא הצעת חוקה מוסכמת, ללא נוסחי חוקים או קודים הממתינים למימוש, ללא מוסדות משפטיים משל עצמו, עם מסגרת חוקתית וחקיקתית קולוניאלית, עם בתי-משפט מנדטוריים שחדלו לתפקד; …

The Purge Of Mortgage In Japanese Civil Law, Wei Zhang

Wei Zhang

The purge of mortgage is believed to be one of the few French remnants in the otherwise largely German style Japanese Civil Code. Since the breakdown of Japanese asset price bubble in early 1990s, it has been blamed as one major obstacle to clearing up nonperforming loans held by Japanese banks, and a central target subject to abolishment. In this paper, I analyzed the structural problems existing in the Japanese purge system and also probed the history and social background behind the debates about its abolishment. I proposed that, instead of total abolition, a restructured purge system, in particular getting …

Innovations In Competitive Manufacturing, Paul Swamidass

Paul Swamidass

Competitive manufacturing in the US was made possible by the progress made in a number of areas. For example, progress in competitive manufacturing is attributable to advances in the strategic use if manufacturing, cellular manufacturing, lean manufacturing, flexible automation, total quality management, supply chain management, design for manufacturing, mass customization, improved costing, and so on.

Pressured by competition, US manufacturers began the journey to competitive manufacturing in the late seventies; their success brought revolutionary changes to US manufacturing.

The book is arranged in 13 different chapters, each covering a major subject within manufacturing management. Each chapter consists of one or …

ואותן השמות עומדים לדורות (And Theses Names Are Eternal: Hebrew,Gender And Law), Shulamit Almog

Shulamit Almog

אנו חיים בעולם לשוני, עולם של שפה. המציאות שאנו פועלים בה, היכולת למקם את עצמנו בתוך המציאות מתעצבת באמצעות אוצר המילים העומד לרשותנו. המשטר הנורמטיבי הלשוני שהשפה משליטה רחב ביותר,אבסולוטי למעשה. הוא נקשר לאופנים אחרים של שליטה חברתית: אידיאולוגיים, פוליטיים,מוסדיים ועוד. מילים הן תוצרי תרבות השייכים אומנם למורשת תרבותית קולקטיבית,אך השפעתן חובקת כל תודעה אישית. משטר השפה הוא מקיף,כאמור, ומשליך על מישורים רבים. בכוונתי להתמקד אך באחד מהם,והוא הקשר בין השפה לבין מצב הנשים והגברים בתרבות ובחברה. לשם כך אתבונן בדרכים שהשפה מבחינה באמצעותן בין גברים לנשים,במטרות שהבחנה זו משרתת ובתוצאותיה

A Game-Theoretic Approach To Regulatory Negotiation And A Framework For Empirical Analysis, Shi-Ling Hsu

Shi-Ling Hsu

While regulatory agencies have been engaging in negotiation with regulated parties and other stakeholders for decades now, careful study of the implications of such negotiations have lagged. In particular, while several commentators have now staked out intellectual ground on the theoretical ramifications of regulatory negotiation, empirical analyses of regulatory negotiations have been lacking. This article analyzes the implications of regulatory "reinvention" as the latest in a series of administrative initiatives aimed at achieving better rulemaking and adjudication through negotiations. Reinvention is commonly understood to mean those programs that utilize negotiated agreements to implement regulatory requirements imposed by various environmental statutes. …

The European Court Of Justice's Revolution: Its Effects And The Conditions For Its Consummation. What Europe Can Learn From Fiji, Theodor Jr Schilling

Theodor JR Schilling

This article will first try to develop a strictly positivist view of the relationship between the Community and Member State legal systems. Starting from the assumption that the Community legal system is based on a revolution by the Court of Justice it will claim that this revolution does not (yet) apply to the Member State legal systems. In doing so, it will distinguish between an external, pluralistic, and an internal, monistic view of the systems in question. Taking the external point of view, this article will deny that there is, in our day, a single unified system comprising both the …

Theorizing The Connections Among Systems Of Subordination, Nancy Levit

Nancy Levit

Theorizing the Connections Among Systems of Subordination introduces a symposium that addresses issues on the leading edge of identity theory, race theory, and critical social theory. It explains the concepts of anti-essentialism, intersectionality, multiple consciousness, multi-dimensionality, and post-intersectionality. It investigates the ways specific types of oppression - such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia - support and feed off of one another. It explores the dynamics of subordination that make different forms of subordination connected to each other - the mechanisms by which subordinating systems buttress each other. Where one sees sexism, one frequently can find racism; where classism exists, …
