  • EL SALVADOR the Spectre of Death Squads
    EL SALVADOR The spectre of death squads INTRODUCTION The spectre of death squads has come back to the fore of public life in El Salvador with the recent appearance of clandestine groups such as the Fuerza Nacionalista Mayor Roberto D’Aubuisson (FURODA), Nationalist Force Major Roberto D’Aubuisson. Their attacks, including death threats against public figures, media people and religious leaders among others have caused growing concern and outrage at national and international level. Death squads and paramilitary groups were responsible for the systematic secret murder, torture and “disappearance” of suspected government opponents during the 1980s and early 1990s and benefitted from total impunity. There was the hope that they would be held accountable and cease to exist as a result of the 1992 Peace Accords and corresponding commitments by the Salvadorean authorities and support of the international community to improve the human rights situation. There was, in fact, a gleam of hope after the end of the war when there was a significant decrease in the number of serious human rights violations, particularly “disappearances”. But death threats by clandestine groups against political and other activists persisted, and sporadic killings and attempted assassinations bearing the hallmarks of death squads were carried out after the signing of the accords. Amnesty International believes that the threat of a return of death squads in El Salvador will only be removed when a special investigation into their activities - both past and present - is carried out, and all those found responsible are brought to justice. BACKGROUND The Chapultepec Accords, signed on 16 January 1992, ended 12 years of armed conflict between the government and the Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN), a non-governmental entity.

  • Self-Defense Without Imminence
    ARTICLES SELF-DEFENSE WITHOUT IMMINENCE Fritz Allhoff* ABSTRACT The doctrine of self-defense allows that otherwise criminal force can be justi®ed so long as the actor reasonably believes its use necessary to protect against imminent and unlawful attack. Supposing that the force is necessary to dispel the attack, why the further requirement that the attack is imminent? The restriction precludes the use of force which, ex hypothesi, is the only way that the actor could defend himself. This Article surveys and critiques the rationale for the imminence requirement, arguing that it should be jettisoned in favor of a more expansive conception of self-defense. While the focus is on domestic law, the paper concludes by gesturing towards implications for international law as well, particularly with regards to preventive war (i.e., war against non-imminent threats). I. IMMINENCE AND NECESSITY Self-defense has long been taken to justify an otherwise illicit use of force. William Blackstone, characterizing the eighteenth-century common law of England, provided: [I]f the party himself, or any of these his relations, be forcibly attacked in his person or property, it is lawful for him to repel force by force; and the breach of the peace, which happens, is chargeable upon him only who began the affray. For the law, in this case, respects the passions of the human mind; and ... makes it lawful in him to do himself that immediate justice, to which he is prompted by nature, and which no prudential motives are strong enough to restrain. It considers that the future process of law is by no means an adequate remedy for injuries accompanied with force; since it is impossible to say, to * Fritz Allhoff, J.D., Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Western Michigan University.

In the establishment of Nazi ideology and the practice of its principles, Hitler drew upon an old, extensive and specific genre of animalizing language. Hitler’s regime skillfully employed contemporary and diverse modes of discourse to dehumanize and devastate the Jewish people. By juxtaposing traditional anti-Semitic beliefs with ideals of Aryan superiority, the Nazis were able to expand and strengthen pre-existing anti- Semitism whilst reaffirming Germany as the ultimate example of evolutionary progression. Integral to Hitler’s success was the use of animal imagery and its respective connotations, associations and evocations. Throughout Hitler’s regime, the term “animal” remained without an exact or precise definition; the ambiguous definition of “animal” allowed for multiple applications – both destructive and constructive.

I would like to thank the AAFS staff, the many volunteers, and everyone else who have worked together to create an excellent program for this meeting with the theme Crossing Borders. You will have many opportunities to meet your colleagues and discuss new challenges in the field. There are many workshops and special sessions that will be presented. The Interdisciplinary and Plenary Sessions will provide different views in forensic science—past, present, and future. The Young Forensic Scientists Forum will celebrate its 25th Anniversary and is conducting a workshop related to the meeting theme. More than 1,000 presentations are scheduled that will provide you with more insight into the developments in forensic science. The exhibit hall, always interesting to explore, is where you will see the latest forensic science equipment, technology, and literature. The theme Crossing Borders was chosen by me and my colleagues at the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI). We see many definitions of crossing borders in forensic science today. For the 2020 meeting, six words starting with the letters “IN” are included in the theme.

  • Transcriptomics, Molecular Evolution and Pest Control
    Understanding Aphids: Transcriptomics, Molecular Evolution and Pest Control Submitted By Amol Bharat Ghodke Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy JUNE 2018 School of Biosciences, Faculty of Science The University of Melbourne Melbourne, Australia Abstract Aphids exhibit fascinating biological features including parthenogenesis, symbiosis, altruism and host-plant preference; all of which would be better understood if genetic tools and molecular biological techniques were applied to them. Aphids are also agricultural pests that vector plant viruses and new approaches to control them are required. This thesis addresses questions motivated by an interest in the biology of aphids and a desire to improve the agricultural impact of aphids. It does so through transcriptomic analyses and RNA interference (RNAi) technology. I examined the ways in which the transcriptome of aphid changes with host-plant, between tissues, within species and between species. The three-aphid species studied (the green peach aphid: Myzus persicae, the mustard aphid: Lipaphis erysimi, and the cabbage aphid: Brevicoryne brassicae) are all pests of economically important brassica crops (such as cabbage, cauliflower, mustard and canola). These data may provide insights into the way different aphid species deal with plant secondary compounds such as glucosinolates. These data also allowed me to examine the structure, function and evolution of myrosinase enzymes that have allowed some aphid species to develop an anti-predator ‘mustard bomb’. RNAi has been suggested as a way to specifically target pest that would be more ‘environmentally friendly’ than conventional insecticides. I experimentally assessed the feasibility of orally-delivered RNAi to control aphids and the potential of this technology to be developed as a functional genomic tool.

  • Memo Regarding Reports Received by CCR of Human Rights Violations
    April 30, 2012 Reports Received by CCR of Human Rights Violations in Honduras in February and March 2012 Since the June 2009 coup d’état in Honduras that overthrew President Manuel Zelaya, a number of groups and professions have experienced systematic human rights violations. These groups include organized peasant farmers (campesinos), journalists, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals, attorneys, members of the political opposition, and human rights defenders. Impunity for violence is the norm, and reports of death threats, surveillance and harassment have become commonplace. 1 Human Rights Watch’s World Report 2012 lists attacks on journalists, rural violence, excessive use of force against demonstrators, lack of judicial independence, hostility against human rights defenders, violence against members of the LGBT community and lack of accountability for post- coup abuses as factors that contribute to an ongoing, pervasive climate of fear and intimidation. 2 From February 7 to 14, 2012, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders Margaret Sekaggya went on a mission to Honduras to evaluate the conditions for human rights defenders there. Upon the conclusion of her visit, Ms. Sekaggya reported, “the pervasive impunity and absence of effective investigations of human rights violations undermine the administration of justice and damage the public’s trust in authorities… Public officials, including high- ranking authorities, have made public statements which stigmatise human rights defenders… [who] abstain from seeking protection as they consider that contact with the police exposes them to increased security risks.” 3 On March 12, 2012, ninety-four members of the House of Representatives sent a letter to U.S.
