The Responsibility To Protect: Three Pillars And Four Crimes, Heraldo Muñoz Aug 2009

The Responsibility To Protect: Three Pillars And Four Crimes, Heraldo Muñoz

Human Rights & Human Welfare

The adoption of the concept of “Responsibility to Protect” (RtoP) by the Heads of State and Government in the September 2005 United Nations World Summit was a historic landmark which has generated great attention as a potentially powerful instrument to impede humanitarian tragedies. Yet much has been missing, or misinterpreted, in the public discussion of this emerging norm. Some fear that RtoP could be abused by powerful countries to intervene in developing nations alleging altruistic motives, while others believe that RtoP is already a rule of customary international law that should be applied unconditionally and without delay in the face …

Stop The Revolution, Michael Jackson Is Dead!, William Paul Simmons

Human Rights & Human Welfare

We won’t soon forget the rapid fire pace of “tweets” and Facebook posts direct from the streets of Tehran. The haunting images of Neda Agha Soltan shocked the consciences of hundreds of thousands around the globe as it went “viral.”


Protest, Iranian Style: A Two-Way Conversation?, Shareen Hertel Aug 2009

Protest, Iranian Style: A Two-Way Conversation?, Shareen Hertel

Human Rights & Human Welfare

Darrell West gets it right when he argues that despite their promise, digital technologies alone “cannot produce revolutions. To generate fundamental change, it still takes strong leadership, powerful ideas, and people willing to risk detention and imprisonment.” West is writing about Iran—and the critical role that social networking has played in fostering social protest in the wake of a disputed election in that country. He also warns that oppressive regimes may turn the very same tool of protest against those fighting for freedom, by using digital technology to track protesters. Yet West underplays the importance of social networking for cracking …


Iran: Who Is Quicker - The Hacker Or The Twitter?, Anja Mihr Aug 2009

Iran: Who Is Quicker - The Hacker Or The Twitter?, Anja Mihr

Human Rights & Human Welfare

For a moment we believed that we had entered into a new era of democratic movement. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Google—chat have given proof that regardless where people live, what background they have, what system they adhere to or what religion they practice: they want to share the injustice and violence that happens to them with the world. They seek awareness, help and support and moreover they look for an end to the unfair and violent treatment. So have thousands of people in Iran—and still they do. They use what is the most widely available, quickest and the cheapest way …

Researching Colorado Local Government Law, Robert Linz Aug 2009

Researching Colorado Local Government Law, Robert Linz

Other Faculty Publications

As citizens, our daily lives are directly affected by local law. For example, many of us consider the speed limit (and whether we'll get caught exceeding it) as we drive to work each day, as well as the amount of property tax we pay each year. Given the immediate impact of local laws on residents, it seems counterintuitive that the body of local law is obscure and difficult to research. This article presents an overview of Colorado local government organization and the resources available to help researchers find law by and about local government.

A Comparative Analysis: Cuban And Mexican Immigrant Policy, Barret Runyon Aug 2009

A Comparative Analysis: Cuban And Mexican Immigrant Policy, Barret Runyon

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, the debate over U.S. immigration policy has become one of the most volatile and emotional issues of our time. Great concern has developed over the growing number of illegal immigrants and the lack of security along the nation's borders, especially its southern border. During this time period, many policymakers were specifically concerned with U.S. policy towards Mexican and Cuban immigrants. In order to find out if significant changes have occurred, this study examines U.S. policy towards undocumented immigrants entering the country since 9-11. To answer this question a number of primary sources were …

The Very Basics Of Sustainability - An Alternative Viewpoint (Slides With Audio) (Large File! To Speed Up Download, Right-Click On "Download" Link To Save To Own Pc.), Jim Mcgovern

Other resources

This presentation sets out the very basics of ‘sustainability’, although a definition of sustainability is not attempted. Some of the very basics are the context in which the Earth and humankind exist in space and time, the Earth’s climate, the Earth’s population and humankind’s options and choices. The author advocates keeping an open mind on all available options, including the use of oil, gas, coal, tar sands, carbon capture and sequestration, nuclear power etc., as well as the technologies that are more widely considered ‘green’. The author also argues that, in addressing the challenges that humankind faces, globally concerted effort …


Policing In Schools: Developing A Governance Document For School Resource Officers In K-12 Schools, India Geronimo Thusi, Catherine Y. Kim Aug 2009

Policing In Schools: Developing A Governance Document For School Resource Officers In K-12 Schools, India Geronimo Thusi, Catherine Y. Kim

Books & Book Chapters by Maurer Faculty

This White Paper argues that a formal governance document is necessary to ensure that law enforcement, school officials, and the communities they serve have a shared understanding of the goals of the SRO program, and that these officers receive the necessary support and training prior to their deployment.6 Absent specific guidelines, SROs may not have a clear understanding of their role within the larger educational context or the rights and needs of the children they are intended to serve; they may inadvertently, and indeed counterproductively, create an adversarial environment that pushes students, particularly at-risk students, out of school rather than …
