NARANJO Jeffrey A. Van Detta* INTRODUCTION In a two-year span, two major multinational enterprises (MNEs) in the energy-sector—Chevron and Royal Dutch Petroleum—have experienced the opposite ends of a similar problem: The impact of civil litigation risks on foreign direct investments.1 For Chevron, it was the denouement of a two-decade effort to defeat a corporate campaign that Ecuadorian residents of a polluted oil-exploration region waged against it since 1993 and its predecessor, Texaco, first in the U.S.

  • Wanting, Not Waiting
    WINNERSdateline OF THE OVERSEAS PRESS CLUB AWARDS 2011 Wanting, Not Waiting 2012 Another Year of Uprisings SPECIAL EDITION dateline 2012 1 letter from the president ne year ago, at our last OPC Awards gala, paying tribute to two of our most courageous fallen heroes, I hardly imagined that I would be standing in the same position again with the identical burden. While last year, we faced the sad task of recognizing the lives and careers of two Oincomparable photographers, Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros, this year our attention turns to two writers — The New York Times’ Anthony Shadid and Marie Colvin of The Sunday Times of London. While our focus then was on the horrors of Gadhafi’s Libya, it is now the Syria of Bashar al- Assad. All four of these giants of our profession gave their lives in the service of an ideal and a mission that we consider so vital to our way of life — a full, complete and objective understanding of a world that is so all too often contemptuous or ignorant of these values. Theirs are the same talents and accomplishments to which we pay tribute in each of our awards tonight — and that the Overseas Press Club represents every day throughout the year. For our mission, like theirs, does not stop as we file from this room. The OPC has moved resolutely into the digital age but our winners and their skills remain grounded in the most fundamental tenets expressed through words and pictures — unwavering objectivity, unceasing curiosity, vivid story- telling, thought-provoking commentary.

  • The Problem of False Confessions in the Post-Dna World*
    DRIZIN.LEO.04.DOC 3/1/2005 11:40 AM THE PROBLEM OF FALSE CONFESSIONS IN THE POST-DNA WORLD* ** *** STEVEN A. DRIZIN & RICHARD A. LEO In recent years, numerous individuals who confessed to and were convicted of serious felony crimes have been released from prison— some after many years of incarceration—and declared factually innocent, often as a result of DNA tests that were not possible at the time of arrest, prosecution, and conviction. DNA testing has also exonerated numerous individuals who confessed to serious crimes before their cases went to trial. Numerous others have been released from prison and declared factually innocent in cases that did not involve DNA tests, but instead may have occurred because authorities discovered that the crime never occurred or that it was physically impossible for the (wrongly) convicted defendant to have committed the crime, or because the true perpetrator of the crime was identified, apprehended, and convicted. In this Article, we analyze 125 recent cases of proven interrogation-induced false confessions (i.e., cases in which indisputably innocent individuals confessed to crimes they did not commit) and how these cases were treated by officials in the criminal justice system. This Article has three goals. First, we provide and analyze basic demographic, legal, and case-specific descriptive data from these 125 cases. This is significant because this is the largest cohort of interrogation-induced false confession cases ever identified and studied in the research literature. Second, we analyze the role that (false) confession evidence played in * The authors’ names are listed in alphabetical order.

  • Arthurian Legend
    Arthurian Legend Arthurian Legend Characters King Arthur – The son of Uther Pendragon, King Arthur is the king of Britain. In addition to being a great warrior, he is wise and thoughtful ruler. He prefers to find peaceful solutions to problems rather than fighting. Arthur is able to appreciate the viewpoints of other people and this helps him to find other solutions. Merlin – Merlin is a legendary wizard of considerable intelligence and power. Merlin wants the best for the land of Britain but does not want to rule, knowing that a warrior is needed to unite the kingdom. Merlin was an advisor to King Uther Pendragon before advising King Arthur. Merlin was able to use magic to prove that Arthur was the king of the Britains. Later, he was able to communicate with people from another world and provide Arthur with the magical sword, Excalibur. Merlin looks like an old man with a flowing white beard. Queen Guinevere – Guinevere is the wife of King Arthur. Her name means “The White Enchantress” or “The White Ghost”; a name given to her because of her pale white skin. Although she loves King Arthur, she grows to love Sir Lancelot. This betrayal of Arthur eventually leads to quarrels and fights amongst the knights of the round table and eventually ends Camelot. Sir Lancelot – Lancelot is the bravest and most skilled Knight of the Round Table. A talented swordsman and jouster, Lancelot is also Arthur’s greatest friend. When Lancelot falls in love with Guinevere, this leads to civil war and brings about the end of King Arthur’s kingdom.

  • The Garment Industry in Bangladesh: a Human Rights Challenge
    Journal of Business & Economic Policy Vol. 2, No. 4; December 2015 The Garment Industry in Bangladesh: A Human Rights Challenge Peter Stanwick Auburn University Department of Management Sarah Stanwick Auburn University School of Accountancy Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present a case study of the working conditions in the garment industry in Bangladesh. This case study describes past and current unsafe working conditions in the garment industry from the perspective of violations of human rights. Factors that are discussed in the case study include: the high incidence of injuries on the job by the workers, the very low wage rate of the workers, the lack of payment of wages to the workers, the use of gender discrimination, air quality issues in the factories, the lack of safety features in the factories, and the response of the garment industry to external stakeholders. Keywords: Human Rights; Bangladesh; Garment Industry. The Industry Bangladesh boasts some of the highest population density in the world with more than 164 million people living in the country. Of those 164 million, approximately 4.0 million people were employed in the garment industry in 2010 (ACCORD, 2015). In a country where poverty and overpopulation abound, the garment industry faces many human rights challenges. Due to favorable trade policies implemented by the government of Bangladesh in the early 1980s, textile manufacturing has skyrocketed in the country. When these policies were first introduced, there were approximately 50 textile factories were manufacturing garments and employing a few thousand workers. By 2000, there were over 3,000 factories which employed 1.8 million workers and generated total exports of over $6.4 billion US.

Weinstein* INTRODUCTION Over the years, associating with scores of law clerks and thousands of students, lawyers, and judges, I have been amazed and humbled in observing the altruistic devotion to human welfare that exudes from the hearts of so many as they enter the legal profes- sion. Our duty of public service, particularly to the less privileged, is based on more than personal satisfaction. The protected status and virtual monopoly of lawyers as actors within the adjudicatory system comes with an implied promise to work for the public good. In a larger sense, this obligation is founded upon the recogni- tion that each of us stands on the shoulders of 10,000 generations.
