    1 His Excellency Shri Ram Nath Kovind President of India Rashtrapati Bhavan, President’s Estate New Delhi, Delhi, 110004 India 11 March 2020 Letter to His Excellency, Shri Ram Nath Kovind, President of India, from the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute Your Excellency, We are writing to you on behalf of the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI) to express our concern over the transfer of Justice S Muralidhar from the Delhi High Court to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, seemingly in response to his expression of ‘anguish’ over the failure of the New Delhi police to counter violence between Muslims and Hindus. The International Bar Association, established in 1947, is the world’s leading organisation of international legal practitioners, bar associations and law societies. It has a membership of over 80,000 individual lawyers, and 190 bar associations and law societies, spanning over 160 countries. The IBAHRI, an autonomous and financially independent entity, works with the global legal community to promote and protect human rights and the independence of the legal profession worldwide. The IBAHRI has been informed that Justice Muralidhar was notified of his transfer on the very evening that followed his criticism of the Delhi Police. It has been reported that Justice Muralidhar asked that the Delhi Police ensure the safety of all those injured in the violence at a hearing at his residence on Tuesday 25 February. On 26 February, he expressed ‘anguish’ over the Delhi Police’s failures to counter violence whilst hearing the case in court and to register ‘First Information Reports’ against political agitators spreading hate speech with the intent to fuel social unrest.

  • Nuclear Capability, Bargaining Power, and Conflict by Thomas M. Lafleur
    Nuclear capability, bargaining power, and conflict by Thomas M. LaFleur B.A., University of Washington, 1992 M.A., University of Washington, 2003 M.M.A.S., United States Army Command and General Staff College, 2004 M.M.A.S., United States Army Command and General Staff College, 2005 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Security Studies KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2019 Abstract Traditionally, nuclear weapons status enjoyed by nuclear powers was assumed to provide a clear advantage during crisis. However, state-level nuclear capability has previously only included nuclear weapons, limiting this application to a handful of states. Current scholarship lacks a detailed examination of state-level nuclear capability to determine if greater nuclear capabilities lead to conflict success. Ignoring other nuclear capabilities that a state may possess, capabilities that could lead to nuclear weapons development, fails to account for the potential to develop nuclear weapons in the event of bargaining failure and war. In other words, I argue that nuclear capability is more than the possession of nuclear weapons, and that other nuclear technologies such as research and development and nuclear power production must be incorporated in empirical measures of state-level nuclear capabilities. I hypothesize that states with greater nuclear capability hold additional bargaining power in international crises and argue that empirical tests of the effectiveness of nuclear power on crisis bargaining must account for all state-level nuclear capabilities. This study introduces the Nuclear Capabilities Index (NCI), a six-component scale that denotes nuclear capability at the state level.
