Honolulu Weekly �· I h e h O II e SI C A L E N D A R i D IO W D I FREEi , H O N O L U L U A New Play by Victoria Nalani Kneubuhl Volume 2, Number 11, March 11, 1992 Page7 his is a story about what it will be like to get an abortion after Roe v. Wade is overturned. And it's tough to find anyone, on either side of the issue, who thinks it won't be over­ Daisisa turned. Soon. What's going to happen after Roe v. Wade is no longer? The power to decide the issue of choice will revert to each state, and as Jenny Daughty, the director of horror the National Abortion Rights Action League in Pennsylvania describes it, the country will look like a crazy quilt. States like New York, Hawaii and Massachusetts will allow women reproductive story,a• freedom, while other states will enforce strict controls, as in Pennsylvania, or outlaw abortion entirely, as in Louisiana and the science territory of Guam. "We're going to have chaos. There's �---11111111..... going to be a 50-ring circus,"agrees Flora Davis, longtime activist and author of Moving the fidion Mountain: TheWomens Movement in America Since 1960. And it is women who aboutto live in these places become who will be fact. scrambling desper­ ately, whose lives and health will become legally less important than those of the fetusesthey carry. If they have enough money, these women will travel to the nearest pro-choice state. Or they will make use of under­ ground railroads, even now in the planning stages. Abortion rights activists are already at work developing alternativenetworks to keep abortion safe, even when it isn't legal. "We're not going to take this sitting down," says Regina DeAngelo, a vice president of the Philadelphia chapter of the National Organization forWomen.

  • Chinese and Swiss Perspectives
    101 8 How to understand the peacebuilding potential of the Belt and Road Initiative Dongyan Li Introduction In his keynote speech at the Belt and Road International Forum in May 2017, President Xi Jinping proposed to build the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) into a “road for peace”. The World Bank and the United Nations also put forward a joint report on the Pathways for Peace in 2018, and emphasized that violence and conflict are big obstacles to reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Their report argues that conflict prevention is a decisive factor for develop­ ment and economic cooperation, and indeed central to reducing pov­ erty and achieving shared prosperity (World Bank and United Nations). This report reflects an increasing trend to strengthen the interaction between the peace and development agendas, and to promote cooper­ ation between both sets of actors. In this context, this chapter explores the peacebuilding potential of BRI and how to understand the possible connection between BRI and UN peacebuilding. BRI has peacebuilding potential in many aspects, but these potentials are limited at the current stage and uncertain in the future. International efforts are a necessary condition for promoting BRI to contribute more to peacebuilding. The chapter consists of three main sections. First, it explains the core of BRI, which is an economic cooperation– focused initiative, not a peacebuilding initiative; second, it interprets the peace connection and peacebuilding potential of BRI; third, it analyzes the limitations and uncertainties of the peacebuilding potential of BRI, and tries to predict the possible scenarios. The Belt and Road: an economic cooperation initiative There are different interpretations and expectations for BRI both inter­ nationally and domestically.

    Overcoming Human Trafficking via Operations Research and Analytics: Opportunities for Methods, Models, and Applications Renata A. Konrada;∗, Andrew C. Trappa Timothy M. Palmbachb;c, Jeffrey S. Blomd Worcester Polytechnic Institute, 100 Institute Rd., Worcester, MA 01609 USA Forensic Science Department, University of New Haven, West Haven, CT, USA Center for Forensic Investigations of Trafficking in Persons 910K E. Redd Rd #205 El Paso, TX 79912 USA Abstract: Human trafficking is a complex transnational problem for society and the global econ- omy. While researchers have studied this topic in a variety of contexts, including the criminology, sociology, and clinical domains, there has been little coverage in the operations research (OR) and analytics community. This paper highlights how techniques from OR and analytics can address the growing issue of human trafficking. We describe some of the unique concerns, problems, and challenges of human trafficking in relation to analytical techniques; subsequently, we demonstrate a variety of ways that OR and analytics can be applied in the human trafficking domain. Keywords: OR in societal problem analysis, Data mining, OR in government, Analytics, Human trafficking 1. Introduction Human trafficking is a complex societal issue that involves the commercial exchange and exploita- tion of humans for monetary gain or benefit. Human trafficking is a modern form of slavery that constitutes a human rights violation and a global public health crisis [56]. Prevalent in both im- poverished and wealthy countries, trafficking undermines fundamental human rights, as well as a broader sense of global order [132]. Previous reports have estimated that between 27 and 45.8 million individuals worldwide are trapped in some form of modern-day slavery [13, 14]; this is undoubtedly as human trafficking is an extremely profitable enterprise.

Kemerdekaan Street, 10th km, Tamalanrea, Makassar 90254 Abstract: This paper discussesthe sea voyages and trades in relation to the history of Malayan occupancies at West Coast of South Sulawesi in fifteenth century when Bugis and Makassar kingdoms started to emerge. This research used philological approach with manuscripts (lontara) as primary data sources. The results of this research suggests that the establishment of local ports such as Suppa’, Siang, Tanete, Kalukubodoa, and Sanrabone along the west coast of South Sulawesi since the fifteenth century indicates the initial periods of kingdoms’ maritime activities in South Sulawesi. In sixteenth century, these sailing and trading activities continued to show their progress which was marked by the establishment of networks and relationships between Bugis and Makassar kingdoms with other areas at Nusantara such as Malacca, Pahang, Minangkabau, Patani, and Champa. It was proved, then, that these sailing and trading activities have become a crucial factor which led to the establishment of cooperation and social integration between Bugis-Makassar peoples and Malayan peoples who came from Malay Peninsula and Sumatera. Malayan traders already sailed to Sulawesi since the fifteenth century and they were well accepted by Bugis and Makassar local peoples. These Malayan traders from social relation aspectwere accepted as residents, and even allowed to married with Bugis and Makassar peoples.

  • Sovereignty Ad Absurdum and the South China Sea Arbitration Christopher R
    \\jciprod01\productn\C\CIN\50-2\CIN203.txt unknown Seq: 1 2-OCT-17 9:50 Treaty of Tordesillas Syndrome: Sovereignty ad Absurdum and the South China Sea Arbitration Christopher R. Rossi† The South China Sea is the fifth largest body of water in the world. It accounts for five trillion dollars in annual commercial activity involving a third of maritime traffic worldwide. China claims wide-ranging sovereign rights over upwards of ninety percent of this Sea via a controversial U- shaped line. Its claim upsets regional stability and portends a coming con- flict with the United States, the world’s supreme maritime power, over the application of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). China claims its sovereign authority predates UNCLOS by mil- lennia; critics date China’s claim to 1947. Already described as the most important ruling in the modern history of the international law of the sea, a Tribunal of the Permanent Court of Arbitration handed down a sweeping rebuke of China’s contentions in the July 2016 Award in the South China Sea Arbitration (Philippines v. China), setting up a confrontation between emergent China and established United States. This Article discusses that Award in light of the fundamental tension within the liberal model of free- dom of the seas— the unreconciled tension involving ownership interests over resources of the sea (dominium) and the decision-making power to rule over the seas (imperium). While scholarly attention dissects the Tri- bunal’s discussion of historical and factual circumstances (effectivit´es) that aggregate against China’s sovereignty claims, this Article notes deeper problems, too: Ambiguities in UNCLOS have allowed powerful states to his- torically territorialize wide swaths of the dwindling global commons, all within the compliant liberal framework.
