Reparation For The Irreparable: Is Punishing International Crimes A Universalist Hoax?, Kholoud Hafez Hassan 2023 American University in Cairo

Reparation For The Irreparable: Is Punishing International Crimes A Universalist Hoax?, Kholoud Hafez Hassan

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis challenges the conventional discourse on international punishment that emphasizes the development of a single, unified system of international criminal justice. Instead, it advocates for a pluralistic approach that recognizes the fragmented nature of international punishment, which involves various actors, including permanent courts, special tribunals, internationalized tribunals, and domestic courts exercising universal jurisdiction. The sui generis nature of international crimes demands a comprehensive approach to punishment that considers multiple perspectives and norms of diverse actors involved. Rejecting the notion of universalism in determining punishment rationales and promoting accounts of sentencing consistency, the author asserts that a global framework can …

Fake “Universities” The Concept And Coping Strategies, Prof. Safaa Otani Prof., Hassan Al-Abdallat Dr

مجلة جامعة الإمارات للبحوث القانونية UAEU LAW JOURNAL

The increase in societal demand for higher education has resulted in a wide spread of global activities of universities and academic institutions. Moreover, the rise of e-learning patterns, distance education, and the increase of non-traditional types of education have prompted the development of quality assurance mechanisms as essential elements to the recognition and accreditation of academic institutions.

The problem that aroused, however, was in the exploitation of these models by certain entities claiming to be universities, idiomatically called the “degree mills”, and taking advantage of the educational environment to gain illegal profits, by selling “fake” degrees to individuals who pay …

Black And Blue Police Arbitration Reforms, Michael Z. Green

Faculty Scholarship

The racial justice protests that engulfed the country after seeing a video of the appalling killing of a Black male, George Floyd, by a Minnesota police officer in 2020 has led to a tremendous number of questions about dealing with racial issues in policing. Similar concerns arose a little more than fifty years ago when police unions gained power to respond to the civil rights protests occurring during those times by establishing strong protections for their officers in light of brutality claims. This rhythmic progression of protests and union responses is destined to continue without any lasting reforms focused on …

Kritik Terhadap Struktur Ilmu Hukum Menurut Paul Scholten, E. Fernando M. Manullang, E. Fernando M. Manullang

Jurnal Hukum & Pembangunan

Paul Scholten, a prominent Dutch legal scholar, explains some thoughts in one of his chief article: De Structuur der recthwetenshcap.
