  • Some International and National Legal Issues On
    SOME INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL LEGAL ISSUES ON THE RIGHT TO LIFE AND THE APPLICATION OF THE DEATH PENALTY FOR DRUG-RELATED CRIMES - PRACTICE IN VIETNAM Mac Thi Hoai Thuong Researcher, Lecturer Hanoi Law University (HLU), VIETNAM Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: The right to life is the most fundamental human right. The death penalty is the most severe punishment and is commonly specified in the laws of many countries. This penalty deprives the convicted person of the right to life. Therefore, the death penalty is only applied to the most serious crimes. The application of the death penalty to drug-related crimes in relation to the right to life is a controversial issue and applied differently in different countries. This paper shall analyze the relationship between the right to life and the application of the death penalty to drug-related crimes in order to study the application of the death penalty to drug-related crimes both internally and domestically. The legal issues studied by this paper include legal issues related to the right to life, the application of death penalty, the legitimacy of application of death penalty to drug-related crimes, the trend of applying death penalty to drug-related crimes in the world and reference to the practices in Vietnam. By this paper, the author shall present the process of formation and development trend of Vietnamese law provisions related to the application of the death penalty to drug-related crimes, assess the compatibility between current Vietnamese regulations on this issue and international human rights standards.

  • Capital Punishment and Australian Foreign Policy
    POLICY BRIEF August 2006 DR MICHAEL FULLILOVE Capital Punishment and Program Director Global Issues Australian Foreign Policy Tel: +61 2 8238 9040 [email protected] W h a t i s t h e p r o b l e m ? Australia is an abolitionist country. Both the Australian Government and the Opposition are opposed to capital punishment. Australia engages in modest advocacy against the death penalty but most of Canberra’s efforts are directed toward cases involving Australian citizens. These are likely to continue to occur: our closest Asian neighbours retain the death penalty, and Australian nationals will probably continue to commit criminal acts carrying this penalty. Situations involving Australians often do violence to bilateral relations. For example, the looming execution of Van Tuong Nguyen last year led to calls from Australian commentators for trade and business sanctions against Singapore, and charges of hypocrisy being levelled against Australia in the regional press. The problem, then, is twofold: Australian diplomacy is making little progress toward universal abolition, a bipartisan national policy; and our bilateral relationships are being damaged because of our perceived hypocrisy on the issue. W h a t s h o u l d b e d o n e ? Australia is an effective advocate for our nationals on death row. However, we should accelerate our efforts on comprehensive abolition, in two ways: • Australian political leaders should bring some consistency to their rhetoric on the death penalty; and • Australia should initiate a regional coalition against capital punishment. In the past decade five Asian states have done away with the death penalty.

  • To Conform to the Expectations of Others May Be Self-Destructive for the Individual”
    “To conform to the expectations of others may be self-destructive for the individual” Statement of Intention I have chosen to write my story in a creative form. Not only does this allow me to express freely my idea, but it also enables me to describe aspects of my argument however I choose to, in as much detail as I want. The language incorporated throughout is descriptive, and has been tailored to an Australian demographic audience, specifically those who were present during the eventful year of 2005. Notably, this was the year when Australian Van Tuong Nguyen was executed in Singapore for drug trafficking. His life is what I centre my story around. All the information provided is as close to the actual source material as possible, but there may be some diverging plotlines. However, this was necessary in order to respond effectively to the prompt provided. In my piece, I briefly describe the relationship between Van Tuong Nguyen and his brother, and how the expectations of his brother culminate in tragedy. In addition, any readers of Alice Pung’s anthology Growing Up Asian in Australia may draw a connection between my story “White” with Emily J Sun’s “These are the Photographs we Take”. This is because both gravitate around the controversial issue of drug trafficking, and the dire consequences for those who fall victim to it. The title “White” is an allusion to the drug heroin that plays a major role in my story. It is accepted that there may be some readers out there, or possibly some close friends or family members of the actual Van Tuong Nguyen, who might be offended by the contents of my prose.

  • Contemporary Human Rights
    Contemporary Human Rights CAPITAL PUNISHMENT Evaluate the effectiveness of the legal and non-legal responses in concerns with the contemporary human rights issue of capital punishment. Human rights are the basic universally recognised liberties and entitlements accorded to all people that are inalienable but unfortunately these rights in the use of capital punishment are abused. Capital Punishment also referred to as the death penalty, or execution is a legal process whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime such as murder, aggravated sexual assault, apostasy, treason and in more recent times the trafficking of humans and drugs. Over 60% of the world's population live in countries where a person’s right to “humane treatment” and to a life of “liberty and freedom” is violated because of the use of capital punishment. Both legal and non-legal methods have undertaken various measures to address the issue of capital punishment. Legal methods such as United Nations Resolutions and Protocols and international and domestic legislation have been put in place in order to achieve “A Global Moratorium on Capital Punishment”. The United Nation as a Global Entity encourages its nation states to move for a “Global Moratorium on Capital Punishment” through its binding resolutions and protocols. The United Nations Convention on the Right of the Child in article 37 prohibits the subjection of a juvenile to torture, capital punishment and deprivation of liberty and the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights in its 11 articles stresses the necessity of a universal ban on capital punishment.

  • Châu Á Cân Nhắc Hạn Chế Và Bỏ Án Tử Hình
    CHÍNH TRỊ ›› 15/06/2015 13:43 GMT+7 Châu Á cân nhắc hạn chế và bỏ án tử hình - Một số nước châu Á đang cân nhắc xem xét giảm, hạn chế, thậm chí xóa bỏ hình phạt tử hình đối với nhiều tội danh, trong đó có tội buôn bán ma túy với chủ trương đề cao hiệu quả phòng ngừa và tính nhân đạo trong việc xử lý người phạm tội. Kêu gọi xóa án tử hình ở châu Á Cân nhắc án tử hình Một bộ trưởng trong Văn phòng Thủ tướng Malaysia, ông Datuk Paul Low Seng Kuan hôm 11/6 đã công khai lên tiếng ủng hộ việc xem xét lại hình phạt tử hình đối với tội buôn bán chất ma túy. Thông tin này nhóm lên hy vọng sống cho một công dân Australia - bà Maria Pinto Exposto, 52 tuổi, đang đứng trước nguy cơ phải chịu hình phạt tử hình tại Malaysia. Đầu tháng 12/2014, bà Exposto bị bắt giữ và sau đó bị buộc tội vận chuyển ma túy sau khi 1,1kg ma túy tổng hợp methamphetamine - ma túy đá - “ice” được phát hiện trong túi của bà ở sân bay Kuala Lumpur. Theo luật của Malaysia, án tử hình được áp dụng đối với bất cứ ai mang trên 50g ma túy. Tuy nhiên, các luật sư bảo vệ bà Exposto cho biết, bà Exposto là nạn nhân của âm mưu lừa đảo. Bà đã đồng ý vận chuyển một chiếc túi của một người lạ từ Thượng Hải về Melbourne, quá cảnh tại Kuala Lumpur với ý tốt là chuyển tài liệu giúp một lính Mỹ ở Afghanistan có thể giải ngũ.

  • Perspectivization in Abc Australia and the Jakarta Globe’S Articles on the Death Penalty for Australian Duo Bali Nine Ringleaders in 2015
    PERSPECTIVIZATION IN ABC AUSTRALIA AND THE JAKARTA GLOBE’S ARTICLES ON THE DEATH PENALTY FOR AUSTRALIAN DUO BALI NINE RINGLEADERS IN 2015 A Thesis Submitted to Letters and Humanities Faculty in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Strata One (S1) YUNI ASRI NIM: 1111026000034 ENGLISH LETTERS DEPARTMENT FACULTY OF ADAB AND HUMANITIES STATES ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY SYARIF HIDAYATULLAH JAKARTA 2015 ABSTRACT Yuni Asri. Perspectivization in ABC Australia and The Jakarta Globe‟s Articles on the Death Penalty for Australian Duo Bali Nine Ringleaders in 2015. A Thesis: English Letters Department, Adab and Humanities Faculty, State Islamic University of Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, 2015. This research attempts to analyze and comprehend the role of perspective in representing and constructing the object of reality under the light of discourse analysis. The method of analysis used is a qualitative research. The object of study is the articles by Thom Woodroofe from ABC Australia with title “Quiet Diplomacy Won‟t Stop the Death Penalty” and Yohanes Sulaiman from The Jakarta Globe with title “Commentary: Why Indonesia Will Ignore All „Bali Nine‟ Protest” by using Perspectivization from Renkema’s theory. The research reveals that either the writer’s ideological perspective from ABC Australia and The Jakarta Globe are neutral. They show their impartial viewpoint by criticizing their own government and political issue through their articles with the same approach but with different substance. The findings show that the similarity can be seen from the way the perspective is communicated by the writers being an external focalizer or observer without getting in touch with any character in their articles.
