  • Central Europe
    Central Europe Federal Republic of Germany Domestic Affairs J.N THE DOMESTIC SPHERE, 1981 and 1982 saw growing problems for the government coalition consisting of the Social Democratic party (SPD) and the Free Democratic party (FDP). Finally, on October 1, 1982, the government fell in a no-confidence vote—the first time this had occurred in the post-World War II period. The new coalition that assumed office was made up of the Christian Demo- cratic Union (CDU) and the Christian Social Union (CSU), with the participation of the FDP; Chancellor Helmut Kohl headed the new coalition. There was a further decline in the economy in 1983—1981 and 1982 had been marked by economic recession—although the situation began to stabilize toward the end of the year. The change of government was confirmed by the public in the general elections held on March 6, 1983: the CDU-CSU won 48.8 per cent of the vote; the SPD 38.2 per cent; and the FDP 7.0 per cent, just narrowly escaping elimination from the Bundestag. The Greens, a party supported by a variety of environmentalist and pacifist groups, entered the federal parliament for the first time, having won 5.6 per cent of the vote. One of the leading representatives of the Greens, Werner Vogel, returned his mandate after an internal party dispute con- cerning his Nazi past. The peace movement and the Greens, often seconded by the SPD, were extremely critical of the policy of Western military strength advocated by the Reagan adminis- tration in Washington. More than half a million people participated in a series of peaceful demonstrations against nuclear weapons in October.

  • Complicity with International Core Crimes and Business Dealings
    Complicity in international criminal law: A fragmented law in need of a new approach By Patrick Lamarre A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Law in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Laws Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2015 Copyright © Patrick Lamarre, 2015 Abstract Since the advent of the concept of complicity in international crimes in the years following the end of World War 2, the international jurisprudence has had difficulties in conclusively establishing the content of this concept. To that effect, the ICTY, ICTR, SCSL, STL, and the ICC’s jurisprudence contain complicated, unresolved issues that need to be addressed in order to safeguard coherence in ICL. An example of the results of these issues is the discrepancy between the outcome in the cases of Charles Taylor and of Momcilo Perisic where, for essentially the same conduct, the former was convicted and sentenced to 50 years in prison while the latter was acquitted of all charges. In the current situation of on-going legitimacy deficit of international criminal law, this problem must be tackled efficiently. To do so, in this paper, I identified the issues of complicity in ICL and tried to find solutions for them through a proposed definition of the concept of complicity which could be incorporated in the statutes of international criminal tribunals or in the international jurisprudence. According to my proposition, an aid, assistance, or support that has a substantial effect on the commission of the crime by the perpetrator given while the accomplice knew or was wilfully blind that the crime was being committed or that the perpetrator wanted to commit the crime and that, in the normal course of events, it was almost inevitable that the crime would be committed would be the new legal standard for complicity in ICL.

  • Virtual Book Ends Café at Featuring
    VIRTUAL BOOK ENDS CAFÉ AT FEATURING BOOK SUMMARY In an enthralling new historical novel from national bestselling author Kate Quinn, two women --- a female spy recruited to the real-life Alice Network in France during World War I and an unconventional American socialite searching for her cousin in 1947 --- are brought together in a mesmerizing story of courage and redemption. 1947. In the chaotic aftermath of World War II, American college girl Charlie St. Clair is pregnant, unmarried, and on the verge of being thrown out of her very proper family. She's also nursing a desperate hope that her beloved cousin Rose, who disappeared in Nazi-occupied France during the war, might still be alive. So when Charlie's parents banish her to Europe to have her "little problem" taken care of, Charlie breaks free and heads to London, determined to find out what happened to the cousin she loves like a sister. 1915. A year into the Great War, Eve Gardiner burns to join the fight against the Germans and unexpectedly gets her chance when she's recruited to work as a spy. Sent into enemy-occupied France, she's trained by the mesmerizing Lili, the "Queen of Spies," who manages a vast network of secret agents right under the enemy's nose. Thirty years later, haunted by the betrayal that ultimately tore apart the Alice Network, Eve spends her days drunk and secluded in her crumbling London house. Until a young American barges in uttering a name Eve hasn't heard in decades, and launches them both on a mission to find the truth...no matter where it leads.

Starkey, Student Date Approvals: Helene Sinnreich, Thesis Advisor Date Brian Bonhomme, Committee Member Date David Simonelli, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT Throughout the Second World War, there was a plethora of Prisoner of War (POW) camps that were run throughout Europe. The growing numbers of captured and surrendered Axis prisoners resulted in the United States to develop their own POW camp system. One of the largest constituencies of prisoners held in the U.S. was German. Nearly 400,000 German POWs were held in the U.S., and a large majority of them held some kind of Nazi affiliation. American authorities tried to develop a strict Nazi camp in Alva, OK, to protect other prisoners and citizens while in captivity. In the first year of the camp’s existence, American authorities carried out extremely strict policies that still adhered to the Geneva Convention of 1929, but limited recreational privileges. The result was a failure as contemptuous prisoners carried out deeds detrimental to the administration’s goal.
