Other chapters of the book, which was incomplete at the time of Professor García-Mora's death, will appear throughout the year in other legal periodicals.

It development agendas.1 Organized crime provides one of the most prominent aims to identify the various examples of these ‘non-traditional’ security challenges.2 perceptions, positions and There are many different definitions of organized crime depending on the interests of the relevant context, sector and organization.

    Building Peace at the Nexus of Organized Crime, Conflict and Violent

    PolicyFBA Brief Brief 01/2015 BUILDING PEACE AT THE NEXUS OF ORGANIZED CRIME, CONFLICT, AND VIOLENT EXTREMISM INTERNATIONAL EXPERT FORUM ON TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY PEACE-BUILDING BY: CHRISTIAN ALTPETER Organized crime, armed conflict and violent extremism are all becoming increasingly intertwined. Fragility, weak institutions and conflicts provide an attractive environment and breeding ground for illicit networks and extremist organizations and these connected groups can seriously impede peace-building efforts and threaten human security. SUMMARY › Organized crime, conflict, and violent extremism all thrive when any state is weak or its structure is absent. Where there is a lack of security, a want of access to justice, and poor service provision, then organized crime often fills the void by taking over certain functions of the state. › Traditionally, crime and violent extremism have not formed a part of the peace-building agenda but instead have been treated as separate matters for law enforcement strategies. › Dealing with organized crime and violent extremism in countries and societies emerging from conflict requires a multidimen- sional peace-building approach that includes the perpetrators of organized crime and those involved in armed conflict and violent extremism. UN Security Council mandates for peacekeeping operations must be so arranged that they include the fight against organized crime. › Strengthening social cohesion and inclusiveness, trust and legitimacy of the government concerned and its institutions must be at the centre of peace-building strategies, together with realizable peace dividends. › The UN, the EU and other actors must meet such challenges with comprehensive policies and approaches because military, diplomatic or police methods alone will not suffice.

    Peace Agreements Digital Collection Bougainville Peace Agreement >> Table of Contents >> Bougainville Peace Agreement Bougainville Peace Agreement Signed at Arawa 30 August 2001 Introduction and Outline This agreement is a joint creation by the Government of the Independent State of Papua New Guinea and Leaders representing the people of Bougainville ("the Parties") to resolve the Bougainville conflict and to secure a lasting peace by peaceful means. It is intended to further the objectives of The Burnham Truce, the Lincoln and Ceasefire Agreements and other agreements and understandings between the parties. This Agreement will be implemented through consultation and co-operation, and will form the basis for drafting constitutional amendments and other laws in order to give legal effect to this Agreement. The Bougainville Parties will work through the autonomous Bougainville Government when it is formed. The Agreement has three pillars. They are as follows. 1. Autonomy The Agreement provides for arrangements for an autonomous Bougainville Government operating under a home-grown Bougainville Constitution with a right to assume increasing control over a wide range of powers, functions, personnel and resources on the basis of guarantees contained in the National Constitution. 2. Referendum The agreement provides for the right, guaranteed in the National Constitution, for a referendum among Bougainvilleans’ on Bougainville’s future political status. The choices available in the referendum will include a separate independence for Bougainville. The referendum will be held no sooner than ten years, and in any case no later than fifteen years, after the election of the autonomous Bougainville Government. The actual date of the referendum will be set taking account of standards of good governance and the implementation of the weapons disposal plan.

WORLD PEACE THROUGH LAW CHARLES RHYNE* In view of the realities of today's world, man cannot live in isolation if he expects to live in peace. The world situation must be everyone's concern; each of us must act, collectively and individually if we are to avoid the total destruction which threatens world peace. We live in a world all of us know more about, think more about and worry more about than ever before. Age old bar- riers of time and distance are gone; the lives of all peoples are inextricably intertwined. For instance: international trade was affected by the United States' enactment of a 10'/; surcharge on imports; the outbreak of war between India and Pakistan in December, 1971 affected everyone almost immediately as has the continuation of the Middle East conflict; states and peoples will be vastly affected by China's presence in the U.N. Since no one nation can by itself control drugs, money, en- vironment, pollution, weather, airplane hi-jacking, poverty, hunger, disease and many other subjects of considerable con- cern to the world community, transnational cooperation has be- come, in fact, a necessity.

    Equity in the American Courts and in the World Court: Does the End Justify the Means?

    EQUITY IN THE AMERICAN COURTS AND IN THE WORLD COURT: DOES THE END JUSTIFY THE MEANS? I. INTRODUCTION Equity, as a legal concept, has enjoyed sustained acceptance by lawyers throughout history. It has been present in the law of ancient civilizations' and continues to exist in modem legal systems.2 But equity is no longer a concept confined exclusively to local or national adjudication. Today, equity shows itself to be a vital part of international law.' The International Court of Justice--"the most visible, and perhaps hegemonic, tribunal in the sphere of public international law" 4-has made a significant contribution to the delimitation,5 development of equity. Particularly in cases involving maritime 6 equity has frequently been applied by the Court to adjudicate disputes. Equity is prominent in national legal systems and has become increas- ingly important in international law. It is useful, perhaps essential, for the international lawyer to have a proper understanding of it. Yet the meaning of equity remains elusive. "A lawyer asked to define 'equity' will not have an easy time of it; the defimition of equity, let alone the term's application in the field of international law, is notoriously uncertain, though its use is rife."7 Through a comparative analysis, this note seeks to provide a more precise understanding of the legal concept of equity as it relates to two distinct systems oflaw: the American and the international. To compare the equity administered by the American courts with that administered by the World Court, this note 1. See sources cited infra notes 10, 22.

  • Pirates and Impunity: Is the Threat of Asylum Claims a Reason to Allow Pirates to Escape Justice

    Pirates and Impunity: Is the Threat of Asylum Claims a Reason to Allow Pirates to Escape Justice

    Pirates and Impunity: Is the Threat of Asylum Claims a Reason to Allow Pirates to Escape Justice Yvonne M. Dutton Abstract Pirates are literally getting away with murder. Modern pirates are attacking vessels, hijacking ships at gunpoint, taking hostages, and injuring and killing crew members.1 They are doing so with increasing frequency. According to the International Maritime Bureau (“IMB”) Piracy Reporting Center’s 2009 Annual Report, there were 406 pirate attacks in 2009—a number that has not been reached since 2003. Yet, in most instances, a culture of impunity reigns whereby nations are not holding pirates accountable for the violent crimes they commit. Only a small portion of those people committing piracy are actually captured and brought to trial, as opposed to captured and released. For example, in September 2008, a Danish warship captured ten Somali pirates, but then later released them on a Somali beach, even though the pirates were found with assault weapons and notes stating how they would split their piracy proceeds with warlords on land. Britain’s Royal Navy has been accused of releasing suspected pirates,7 as have Canadian naval forces. Only very recently, Russia released captured Somali pirates—after a high-seas shootout between Russian marines and pirates that had attacked a tanker carrying twenty-three crew and US$52 million worth of oil.9 In May 2010, the United States released ten captured pirates it had been holding for weeks after concluding that its search for a nation to prosecute them was futile. In fact, between March and April 2010, European Union (“EU”) naval forces captured 275 alleged pirates, but only forty face prosecution.
