  • The Status of Puerto Rico Revisited: Does the Current U.S.-Puerto Rico Relationship Uphold International Law?
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 17, Issue 4 1993 Article 5 The Status of Puerto Rico Revisited: Does the Current U.S.-Puerto Rico Relationship Uphold International Law? Dorian A. Shaw∗ ∗ Copyright c 1993 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj The Status of Puerto Rico Revisited: Does the Current U.S.-Puerto Rico Relationship Uphold International Law? Dorian A. Shaw Abstract This Note argues that the establishment of the Commonwealth government fails to fulfill the requirements of a free associated territory as detailed in United Nations General Assembly Resolu- tions 742 (“Resolution 742”) and 1541 (“Resolution 1541”) because the Puerto Rico Constitution remains subject to the Territorial Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The Territorial Clause gives the U.S. Congress plenary authority to govern territories of the United States. Part I of this Note introduces the factual and legal background of Puerto Rico’s hybrid legal status. Part II describes the different interpretations regarding the validity of Puerto Rico’s status in international law. Part III argues that the present status of Puerto Rico requires that the U.S. Congress enact legislation that allows a binding plebiscite to define the status of Puerto Rico in a manner consistent with U.N. General Assembly Resolutions 742 and 1541. Finally, this Note concludes that the U.S. Congress should act to prevent the continuation of a system of government where unequal treatment of U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico is allowed under the U.S.

MÉXICO, 2001 INTRODUCCIÓN EL SER O NO SER DE PUERTO RICO* ¿Quién no recuerda a Shakespeare?, quien por boca de Hamlet (III, 7), dijo: Ser o no ser. De eso se trata, en suma. ¿Qué es lo más noble: soportar callando dardos y flechas de áspera fortuna, o tomar armas contra un mar de males y darles fin luchando? Y aquí nos transporta el poeta a los campos metafisicos de la ontología : que informa del ser en sí. Platón en El sofista, trata extensamente la existencia del no-ser, contradiciendo a Parménides: Forastero: Aquel que declare que existe la falsedad tiene la audacia de proponer el ser del no-ser; puesto que esto se supone en la posibili- dad de la falsedad. Ante lo cual exclama Teetetes: ¡En que rara complicación de ser o no ser nos hemos envuelto! Prosigue Platón a explicar la esencia del ser: Forastero: Mi noción sería que cualquier cosa que posea poder para afectar a otra o de ser afectada por otra -aunque sea por un instante- VII por muy leve que sea la causa o por insignificante que sea el efecto, tiene existencia real, por lo que sostengo que la definición de ser es sencilla- mente poder.

  • Introduction Norman J.W
    Introduction Norman J.W. Goda E The examination of legal proceedings related to Nazi Germany’s war and the Holocaust has expanded signifi cantly in the past two decades. It was not always so. Though the Trial of the Major War Criminals at Nuremberg in 1945–1946 generated signifi cant scholarly literature, most of it, at least in the trial’s immediate aftermath, concerned legal scholars’ judgments of the trial’s effi cacy from a strictly legalistic perspective. Was the four-power trial based on ex post facto law and thus problematic for that reason, or did it provide the best possible due process to the defendants under the circumstances?1 Cold War political wrangl ing over the subsequent Allied trials in the western German occupation zones as well as the sentences that they pronounced generated a discourse that was far more critical of the tri- als than laudatory.2 Historians, meanwhile, used the records assembled at Nuremberg as an entrée into other captured German records as they wrote initial studies of the Third Reich, these focusing mainly on foreign policy and wartime strategy, though also to some degree on the Final Solution to the Jewish Question.3 But they did not historicize the trial, nor any of subsequent trials, as such. Studies that analyzed the postwar proceedings in and of themselves from a historical perspective developed only three de- cades after Nuremberg, and they focused mainly on the origins of the initial, groundbreaking trial.4 Matters changed in the 1990s for a number of reasons. The fi rst was late- and post-Cold War interest among historians of Germany, and of other nations too, in Vergangenheitsbewältigung—the political, social, and intellectual attempt to confront, or to sidestep, the criminal wartime past.

  • A Compassionate Nudge
    A COMPASSIONATE NUDGE THE ANCIENT BUDDHIST PSYCHOLOGY AND PRACTICE OF DEPENDENT ORIGINATION AS A MEANS OF HEALING WAR-RELATED MORAL INJURY King’s College of London Department of Defence Analysis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for a Degree of Master of Fine Arts Word Count: 14982 1 INTRODUCTION: WAR STRIPS YOU OF ALL...BELIEFS War changes you, changes you. Strips you, strips you of all your beliefs, your religion, takes your dignity away, you become an animal.1 - Anonymous veteran The notion of “moral injury” is neither new nor novel. Although the term only re-entered conversation over the past decade, the wound is intrinsic to all war, as the following accounts demonstrate: Doug Anderson served as a U.S. Marine Corp corpsman in Vietnam. On his first day in country he knew that something was terribly wrong. A squad leader beat an old man for no reason other than being Vietnamese. His fellow Marines no longer cared what the war was about or why they were all fighting and dying. Anderson felt that there was no longer a noble cause or strategy, only survival. His first patrol was the beginning of his education. “An immense darkness opened under me” he said.2 “What I saw that day in these men was a kind of soul damage.”3 Chester Nez was a U.S. Marine Navajo Code Talker in the Second World War. After returning home he tried to return to his past self, but his “memories were not peaceful like those of [his] grandparents, father, siblings, and extended family.” 4 Nez later said, “The dead Japanese wouldn’t let me sleep or function normally.

  • Title: the Tangled Web: the Personal and Public Lies of Albert Speer
    Title: The Tangled Web: The Personal and Public Lies of Albert Speer Hist133B, Winter 2016, Source Exploration, By Samuel Fall: Albert Speer, “On Joining the Nazi Movement in 1931, 1969,” Document 8, from The Nazi State and German Society – Robert Moeller The source selected was Albert Speer, “On Joining the Nazi Movement in 1931.” Speer was born in Mannheim Germany, in 1905, to an upper middle class family (Forsgren, 2012, 8). He died on September 1, 1981 at St. Mary’s Hospital in London. This source is an excerpt taken from Speer’s memoir, Inside the Third Reich, which was published in 1969, after he was released from Spandau prison. The excerpt of Speer’s memoir, included in Moeller’s book, was intended to develop issues surrounding National Socialism such as citizenship, democracy, civil liberties, authoritarianism, and national security, which are all relevant in todays world. Moeller’s book seeks to bring these issues to life by providing easily accessible primary sources that allow college-level students to do the work of real historians by analyzing the original documents. I was not able to determine directly where or if Speer’s original memoir papers from Spandau were being kept. The following searches on Google failed to identify an organization holding his original Spandau papers: “where are albert speer's original papers,” “albert speer spandau original papers.” However, many of Speer’s personal and Spandau papers are archived in the Bundesarchiv (Federal Archives) in Koblenz Germany. The memoir papers are likely among them. There was no full text copy of “Inside the Third Reich” by Albert Speer, available for download at Google Books, but I was able to check the book out of the UCSB’s Davidson Library DD247.S63 A313 1970.
