And this was really interesting for me, coming from a psychology background. Law really depends on psychology, because when you enact these laws you have to foresee how people will react to something. When I got the scholarship it was completely unexpected. I was really happy, because it was validation of the work that I’d put in. And my parents were really proud – I was happier for them than I was for myself!’ Jeevitha Thurai studied at Advance Tertiary College, Malaysia, for the first year of her LLB. Awarded the Malaysian LLB scholarship, she is now in the second year of her degree at King’s College London.

  • 1 the WORLD COURT PROJECT: HISTORY and CONSEQUENCES
    THE WORLD COURT PROJECT: HISTORY and CONSEQUENCES by Kate Dewes and Robert Green Published in Canadian Foreign Policy Journal, Volume 7, Number 1, Fall 1999 The forces ranged against the view of illegality are truly colossal. However collisions with the colossal have not deterred the law on its upward course towards the concept of the rule of law. It has not flinched from the task of imposing constraints upon physical power when legal principle so demands. It has been by a determined stand against forces that seemed colossal or irresistible that the rule of law has been won. Judge Christopher Weeramantry, Dissenting Opinion, 1996. INTRODUCTION On 21 October 1999, a court case in Greenock, Scotland ended in a sensational outcome which will have major repercussions for the struggle to rid the world of nuclear weapons. Three women - Angie Zelter, Ulla Roder, and Ellen Moxley of the international Trident Ploughshares 2000 non-violent direct action campaign - were on trial before a jury for damaging some laboratory equipment used for operational support of the British Trident nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine force. Their defence was that they had been compelled to act in order to prevent a crime of potential genocide. The judge accepted their argument that deployment of Trident is illegal, and that they were upholding the Nuremberg Charter - and she instructed the jury to acquit them. The women had based their defence on a 1996 Advisory Opinion by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), known as the World Court. The acquittal provoked an uproar in the UK, reigniting the anti-nuclear movement as the embarrassed Blair government 1 appealed against it in an attempt to have it overturned by the highest court in Scotland sometime during 2000 – but giving unprecedented publicity to this audacious challenge to the legality of Britain’s so-called “nuclear deterrent”.

EURASHE Ravensteingalerij 27/3 1000 Brussels BELGIUM ISBN-9789081686709 This project has been funded with support from the European Commission. This publication reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein Foreword ‘Level 5-The Missing Link’ is an intriguing title for this new publication of EURASHE for those not versed in the qualifications terminology. It rightly points to an existing lack in the National Qualifications Frameworks, at least in some countries in the European Higher Education Area (formerly ‘Bologna’). The implementation of the two- (later three) cycle structure also had to incorporate the level that is the link between secondary and higher education, and this for reasons explained below. It is a great merit of the two researchers, Magda Kirsch and Yves Beernaert, co-authors of the report, that they have taken up the challenge of mapping a sector of (higher) education in a variety of countries, which often have just this in common, that they are among the 47 that signed the Bologna Declaration, but otherwise have such different education systems and structures that make comparisons of levels and programmes extremely difficult.

  • International Law and Peace: a Peace Lesson Judge Christopher Weeramantry and John Burroughs
    International Law and Peace: A Peace Lesson Judge Christopher Weeramantry and John Burroughs July 2005 A web-based part of Hague Appeal for Peace, Peace Lessons from Around the World www.haguepeace.org International law may well be described as the queen of disciplines which deal with global order. Leadership in the battle against the factors disrupting global peace is the natural province of international law. There are many wonderful aspects of international law which every teacher, every schoolchild, and every member of the public should know. The principles underlying international law are based upon universally accepted values and moral standards. They can be understood by every schoolchild. When children are informed about them their eyes light up with appreciation that the international world is governed by principles which are so acceptable to them. International law represents the essence of the progress of civilization towards a world ruled by law rather than a world ruled by force. It took thousands of years of effort, hundreds of wars, and the sacrifice of millions of lives to achieve this. It is thus a very precious possession of all human beings, which must be carefully protected. International law is an essential tool for the abolition of war. War has been a part of the human condition for thousands of years, but its abolition is now a necessity. With weapons of mass destruction becoming ever more readily available to state and non-state actors, the threat to a peaceful world being dragged into catastrophic conflict is so great that civilization itself is in peril.
