The Protection Of Women And Children In Islamic Law And International Humanitarian Law: A Critique Of John Kelsay”, Hamdard Islamicus, Xxv (3) (July-September 2002), Pp. 69-82, Muhammad Munir Dr. Jul 2002

The Protection Of Women And Children In Islamic Law And International Humanitarian Law: A Critique Of John Kelsay”, Hamdard Islamicus, Xxv (3) (July-September 2002), Pp. 69-82, Muhammad Munir Dr.

Dr. Muhammad Munir

Islam introduced the most humane rules in warfare before other religions or faiths could do it. Most authors acknowledge this fact, however, John Kelsay, Fredrick Donner, and few others doubt Islam's enormous contribution to bring in humanity in warfare. These authors assume that Islam has learned humanitarian principles, such as the principle of distinction, from the pre-Islamic practices; that Imam Al-Shafi'i allowed the killing of all women whether combatant or non-combatant; that even the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) allowed the killing of women and children; and that women and children can be enslaved. This work completely rebuts all …

The Common Core Of European Private Law : Essays On The Project / Edited By M. Bussani And U. Mattei., Ugo Mattei, Mauro Bussani

Ugo Mattei

European private law is in the making. Many scholarly and official projects tackle the many issues that unfold in the path of a more uniform European legal culture. None of such projects has been as thorough and patient in trying to develop a general knowledge on how things are in the early-21st century in the landscape of European private law as the "Common Core of European Private Law Project", launched in Trento, Italy in 1993 with the direct involvement of the Late Professor R.B. Schlesinger. Within the Common Core Project, over 200 professionals apply a painstaking comparative analysis of European …

Informed Consent And Patients' Rights In Japan: 2001 Epilogue, Robert B. Leflar Dec 2001

Informed Consent And Patients' Rights In Japan: 2001 Epilogue, Robert B. Leflar

Robert B Leflar

Japan is on a steeper trajectory toward the incorporation of informed consent principles into medical practice than the “gradual transformation” observed in a 1996 article, Informed Consent and Patients’ Rights in Japan. Among the most significant recent developments from 1996 to 2001 have been these seven: (1) the 1997 enactment of the Organ Transplantation Law permitting the use of brain death criteria in limited circumstances in which informed consent is present; (2) the strengthening of patients’ rights in clinical drug trials; (3) the continued trend toward increasing disclosure to patients of cancer diagnoses; (4) initiatives by the health ministry toward …


Miranda, Confessions, And Justice: Lessons For Japan?, Richard Leo Dec 2001

Miranda, Confessions, And Justice: Lessons For Japan?, Richard Leo

Richard A. Leo

This chapter explores whether a Miranda-like warning and waiver regime could be successfully implemented in Japan. The chapter reviews the social science and legal scholarship on Miranda's impact on American interrogation practices and suspect behavior, concluding that most American suspects continue to waive their rights and law enforcement personnel continue to obtain a high number of confessions and convictions. Next, the chapter discusses the contemporary law and practice of interrogation in Japan. In Japan, interrogation appears to be routinely psychologically coercive and virtually all defendants make either partial admissions or full confessions to alleged offenses. Confessions are regarded as superior …


The Contract Law Codification Process In Europe: Policies, Targets And Time Dimensions, Mauro Bussani Dec 2001

The Contract Law Codification Process In Europe: Policies, Targets And Time Dimensions, Mauro Bussani

Mauro Bussani

The contribution aims to address the issues implied by the following questions: (a) What is the contract law to be codified? (b) What is the possible impact of a European contract law codification upon the other private law fields? (c) Which are the driving forces behind and ahead of the European codification process? The paper approaches these problems by focusing on the fragmentation in different layers of European contract law within and across national frontiers, and on the bearing that this ‘stratification’ may have on the choice of adopting a code with either a ‘regional’ or a world-wide scope. Moreover, …
