  • HUMAN TRAFFICKING Findings • in Its 2019 Trafficking in Persons Report, the U.S
    HUMAN TRAFFICKING Findings • In its 2019 Trafficking in Persons Report, the U.S. State De- partment listed China as Tier III, which is a designation for governments who ‘‘do not fully meet the minimum standards [under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act] and are not making significant efforts to do so.’’ • Chinese anti-trafficking law remains inconsistent with inter- national standards in the UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (Palermo Protocol), to which China is a State Party. Whereas the Palermo Protocol encompasses the exploitation of any individual, Chinese law addresses the selling of women and children, making it difficult to assess the scale of human trafficking in China as defined by international standards. • Women and girls from countries including Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, North Korea, Paki- stan, and Vietnam were trafficked into China for forced mar- riage and sexual exploitation. The demand for such trafficking is due in part to the sex ratio imbalance in China, a result of decades of government-imposed birth limits and a traditional preference for sons, as well as a lack of economic opportunity in countries of origin. • Chinese nationals were trafficked from China to other parts of the world, including the United States. Chinese sex workers were found working in illicit massage parlors across the United States. Because of their coercive nature, some of these cases may constitute human trafficking. • Continued restrictions on movement imposed by the hukou system contributed to the risks that internal migrant workers face in human trafficking. • The Chinese government continued to subject individuals to forced labor during pretrial detention and in administrative de- tention.

  • SEMESTER at SEA COURSE SYLLABUS Colorado State University, Academic Partner Voyage: Spring 2020 Discipline: History Course Nu
    SEMESTER AT SEA COURSE SYLLABUS Colorado State University, Academic Partner Voyage: Spring 2020 Discipline: History Course Number and Title: HIST 465 Pacific Wars: Korea and Vietnam Division: Upper Faculty Name: Jim Huffman Semester Credit Hours: 3 Class Meetings: A days, 1110-1230, Adlon Office Hours: A-odd days 1535-1630; B-even 1315-1410. Place TBA Prerequisites: The standard CSU prerequisites – three (3) history credits and no fewer than 45 total credits – have been waived by the instructor. COURSE DESCRIPTION American wars since the late 1940s have been long and ambiguous, with no decisive victories. This course will look at the wars in Korea and Vietnam that changed American perceptions of its role in the world even as they modified the world’s balance of power. Early in our voyage, we will focus on Korea, examining the war’s causes, its impact on the struggle between communism and capitalism, and its long-term impact on the Korean peninsula. By the time we reach Ho Chi Minh City, we will have begun our study of the long, costly Vietnam War, or what the Vietnamese call “the American War.” While in Vietnam, we will compare the ways the Americans and Vietnamese interpreted the conflict. Our goal will be twofold: to learn the “facts” of the wars, and to understand their broader meanings, as well as the issues that surrounded them. That means we will focus on becoming skillful interpreters, capable of articulating our thoughts clearly and effectively, both orally and in writing. The course will combine lectures and discussions. Requirements will include writing, discussion, and tests.

  • Law As Source: How the Legal System Facilitates Investigative Journalism
    YALE LAW & POLICY REVIEW Law as Source: How the Legal System Facilitates Investigative Journalism Roy Shapir Legal scholarshave long recognized that the media plays a key role in assuring the proper functioning of political and business markets Yet we have understudied the role of law in assuring effective media scrutiny. This Article develops a theory of law as source. The basicpremise is that the law not only regulates what the media can or cannot say, but also facilitates media scrutiny by producing information. Specifically, law enforcement actions, such as litigationor regulatory investigations, extract information on the behaviorofpowerfulplayers in business or government. Journalists can then translate the information into biting investigative reports and diffuse them widely, thereby shapingplayers' reputationsand norms. Levels of accountabilityin society are therefore not simply a function of the effectiveness of the courts as a watchdog or the media as a watchdog but rather a function of the interactions between the two watchdogs. This Article approaches, from multiple angles, the questions of how and how much the media relies on legal sources. I analyze the content of projects that won investigative reportingprizes in the past two decades; interview forty veteran reporters; scour a reporters-onlydatabase of tip sheets and how-to manuals; go over * IDC Law School. I thank participants in the Information in Litigation Roundtable at Washington & Lee, the Annual Corporate and Securities Litigation Workshop at UCLA, several conferences at IDC, the American Law and Economics Association annual conference at Boston University, and the Crisis in the Theory of the Firm conference and the Annual Reputation Symposium at Oxford University, as well as Jonathan Glater, James Hamilton, Andrew Tuch, and Verity Winship for helpful comments and discussions.

    85th National Headliner Awards Newspaper and Online winners The 85th National Headliner Award winners honoring the best journalism for radio and television stations in 2018 were announced today. The awards were founded in 1934 by the Press Club of Atlantic City. The annual contest is one of the oldest and largest in the country that recognizes journalistic merit in the communications industry. The Best in Show for newspapers was a story titled “Perversion of Justice” by Julie K. Brown and Emily Michot of the Miami Herald. The story won first place in the Investigative Reporting in a Top 20 Media Market category. The judges’ comments for the story are below: “Once again the judges are in awe of the work by Julie K. Brown of the Miami Herald, a past winner. Her persistence in tracking down the Jane Does years after their violations by a serial pedophile and giving them voice unleashed a wave of outrage both in Florida and nationally that was felt in the hearings rooms of Congress.” Brown previously won the Best in Show for newspapers National Headliner Award in 2015 for her story “Cruel and Usual.” The Best in Show for photography went to Wally Skalij of the Los Angeles Times for his Newspapers Feature Photo titled “Woolsey fire burns all the way down to the coast.” “Composition, subject matter and color come together to create an emotional visual moment,” the judges said.
