WAITE, Prince Neto DCB Admission Identification: 888 018 736
WAITE, Prince Neto DCB Admission Identification: 888 018 736 Proposal for J.S.D. Thesis NYU School of Law For Fall 2011 Admission A Critical Assessment of the Concept of Due Diligence in International Law A. Summary Accountability and compliance is an ever-relevant item on the agenda of the international legal system. This item brings into sharp focus the role of development when the substantive obligations are conduct-oriented, i.e., they are based on due diligence. Due diligence relates to acting to prevent a thing or state of affairs from coming about. This thesis will examine whether due diligence can be an effective and appropriate tool to uphold the 'rule of international law’ by ensuring compliance with international obligations through the balancing of competing interests. The thesis will seek to evaluate the concept of due diligence against the legal aims and objectives of achieving justice, effectiveness as well as the practicability of this doctrinal concept in economic terms. This will be done in order to form a view as to whether we should rethink due diligence, its role and scope or completely jettison it from international legal doctrine. The operationalisation of this thesis will involve; a) an examination of the historical development of due diligence and its status, scope and content in international law; b) a comprehensive mapping of due diligence through the assessment of the work of the International Law Commission (ILC) and other drafting committees as well as international judicial treatment of the concept and; c) an inquiry into and questioning of the very rationale and prudence of the due diligence concept by evaluating, inter alia, the scope for its application to non-state actors. -

CLAREMONT MCKENNA COLLEGE AN ANALYSIS OF EDUCATION REFORM IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA SUBMITTED TO PROFESSOR WILLIAM ASCHER AND DEAN PETER UVIN WRITTEN BY KATHARINE MIRANDA EGER FOR SENIOR THESIS SPRING APRIL 25, 2016 Abstract Sub-Saharan Africa continues to fall behind other developing regions regarding educational attainment, despite recent progress in enrollment. This thesis examines a variety of external conditional factors that could contribute to a country’s relative success, in terms of years spent in school using a prediction model that compares years enrolled in secondary education as a foundation to determine over- and under-performing countries in sub-Saharan Africa. By exploring various educational policies, historical patterns, and projects executed in Rwanda, South Africa, Ghana, and Botswana, this thesis sheds light on four main challenges that can impact educational attainment: ethnic and racial tensions, an acute shortage of learning materials and trained teachers, inappropriate curricula, and high costs of education. Some of these challenges have been met with an array of policies, with mixed results in terms of the soundness and fairness of policies as well as the effectiveness of implementation. -

The role of UNESCO in promoting universal human rights From 1948 to 2005 Roberto Andorno Introduction UNESCO was created in the aftermath of the Second World War to reaffirm the conviction of the international community that intercultural dialogue and respect for justice and human rights are essential to build a durable peace. The UNESCO Constitution, which was adopted in November 1945, states that the first objective of the organization is to contribute to peace and security by promoting collaboration among the nations through education, science and culture in order to further universal respect for“ justice, for the rule of law and for human rights and fundamental freedoms Consistent with this goal, UNESCO formed in 1947 a committee of intellectuals from different”. -
Post-Conflict Education Development in Somaliland
Post-Conflict Education Development in Somaliland Post-Conflict Education Development in Somaliland Samuel Ayele Bekalo, Michael Brophy and Geoff Welford Abstract In the light of fresh international initiatives to achieve Universal Basic Education (UBE) and gender equality in education by 2015, this paper examines factors affecting its realisation in the context of Somaliland. In a country where over 80% of school age children are receiving little meaningful education, the paper reflects on more flexible education approaches to provide sustainable education for children and disadvantaged adults. The paper draws on fieldwork data from a DfID funded study [1] and the authors' own experiences. The discussion highlights the peculiar circumstances of Somaliland. It charts the provision of Education in the then Somalia from the colonial era through post-independence times to the civil conflict which led to the destruction of education in the country. It goes on to look at the progress being made at the present time following “stop-gap” measures for emergency education towards revitalising enhanced education. It completes the picture by describing challenges to the achievement of the UBE target. The authors review aspects of alternative and flexible educational approaches and urge the integration of these non-formal systems with the formal, governmentally controlled school systems being restored in Somaliland. They do so while sounding a note of caution that for all the energy and enthusiasm associated with these approaches, they have yet to be evaluated for their effectiveness in providing quality basic education. This paper looks at education in Somaliland. It presents a brief summary of the development of education from colonial times, through the recent civil conflict into the present time. -

SOMALIA Ages 10-12
SOMALIA Ages 10-12 • The light blue background of the flag is said to have been based on the UN flag, but today, it is said to represent the sky and the Indian Ocean on the Eastern coast of this African nation. • The five points on the star represent the five regions in the horn of Africa that are inhabited by Somali people. The first of these two regions are British Somaliland and Italian Somaliland, which make up present day Somalia. The third is Ogaden in Ethiopia. The fourth is Djibouti and the fifth is the Northern Frontier District in Kenya. Somalia’s neighbours Ethiopia and Kenya to the west, the Gulf of Aden to the north and the Indian Ocean to the east. Mogadishu is the capital city of Somalia and it has a population of roughly 1.353 million people. The overall population of the country is 9 925 640. Its climate is hot, with irregular and scarce rainfall and frequent droughts. The northern terrain of the country is predominantly hilly, reaching altitudes of 4 000 ft.; while the south is mainly flat. DECADES OF GOVERNANCE- PRE AND POST INDEPENDENCE Modern day Somalia is the result of the merging of what was known as British Somaliland, a territory occupied by the British; and Somalia Italiana, a territory occupied by the Italians. British Somaliland was in the north and Somalia Italiana was in the south. The British Somalis were allowed to follow the customs and traditional procedures of their nomadic clans. With regards to government, the people of British Somali had some influence and control of their society.
