The first of fifteen pages on Values (one of the Field Nodes comprising the subject tree of The Telson Spur ), this page is one of three comprising a list of links to on-line resources related to the development of human rights and responsibilities (including civil rights, disability resources, ideology and political belief, and social justice). The coordinate pages, with a common header and List of Contents , contain links to women's resources and to resources related to issues of security, public (peace and justice) and private (freedom). KEYWORDS : civil rights; duty; freedom; human rights; liberty; morality; obligation; responsibility; security; values From the highest to the lowest, self exists to be abdicated and, by that abdication, becomes the more truly self, to be thereupon yet the more abdicated, and so forever. This is not a heavenly law which we can escape by remaining earthly, nor an earthly law which we can escape by being saved. What is outside the system of self-giving is not earth, nor nature, nor "ordinary lives", but simply and solely hell. C. S. Lewis

Plaintiffs address in turn the specific questions posed by the Court. the Alien Tort Claims Act Customary international law is the basis for Plaintiffs claims against the United States for forced relocation, genocide, torture, racial discrimination, and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment. Each claim constitutes a violation of a well-established norm of customary international law and is actionable under the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA).
Extractions: I. Introduction Contemporary manifestations of the protection of international human rights are overwhelmingly humanitarian in character: the convening of the Hague Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda,1 the recent ratification of the Rome Treaty establishing Nuremberg-style International Criminal Court,2 as well as transnational proceedings, such as that initiated against General Augusto Pinochet, the former Chilean dictator.3 Contemporary responses to political violence and human rights violations international criminal legal system with the rule of law. My paper explores contemporary understanding of global rule of law, by analyzing developments in international humanitarian law as the leading form of protection of human rights worldwide. This paper explores dimensions of the universal and the particular in international humanitarian law, towards a better understanding of the distinctive global rule of law peculiar to the contemporary moment. It suggests that the humanitarian regime, mixed character an amalgam of human rights law, and the law of war, reflects the state of present political realities, of transition from an international legal system premised on sovereign states, and consent regimes, to a more interconnected, hybrid regime, aimed at threshold governance of global politics.

Extractions: Daniel D. Polsby * Jewish connection, they bend over backwards to avoid demonizing the German people for the Holocaust (blaming the rise of Nazism exclusively on adverse world and local economic conditions and on the post- World War I Versailles Treaty, which they appear to consider harsh and unfair to Germany). Menace, such bombastic comparisons accomplish nothing apart from gravely undermining the credibility of those who are guilty of them. It is unfortunate that this confusion exists because the foreign experience with firearms regulation and armed populations has much to inspire reflection as Americans try to reach some sort of admissible solution for the problem of crime and violence in our society. And on its own merits, Lethal Laws makes a worthwhile contribution to that endeavor. Arguments about firearms policy often fall back into the fashion of oracular interpretation, in which statistical entrails are examined and pronounced to imply (or not to imply) that gun control laws can lead to lower rates of homicide or suicide or that regional or national differences in patterns of firearms possession explain differences in the incidence of violent crime. The large question that tends to get lost in these minute inquiries is that of the ideal distribution of firearms in a society. Supposing we had a magic spell that allowed us to have whatever world we would like as regards firearms: what world would we choose? No firearms at all? Police and soldiers armed but no one else? Brinks truck drivers also armed? Upon what principles should we draw the line?

Extractions: reprinted in Managing The Commons by Garrett Hardin and John Baden W.H. Freeman, 1977; ISBN 0-7167-0476-5 "There has developed in the contemporary natural sciences a recognition that there is a subset of problems, such as population, atomic war, and environmental corruption, for which there are no technical solutions. "There is also an increasing recognition among contemporary social scientists that there is a subset of problems, such as population, atomic war, environmental corruption, and the recovery of a livable urban environment, for which there are no current political solutions. The thesis of this article is that the common area shared by these two subsets contains most of the critical problems that threaten the very existence of contemporary man." [p. 53] "In passing the technically insoluble problems over to the political and social realm for solution, Hardin made three critical assumptions: that there exists, or can be developed, a 'criterion of judgment and system of weighting . . .' that will 'render the incommensurables . . . commensurable . . .

COMMERZBANK, AG and their predecessors, successors, and/or assigns, And Corporate Bank Does # 1 100 Defendants CIVIL ACTION # JURY TRIAL DEMANDED Plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and all other persons similarly situated (hereinafter collectively referred to as Plaintiffs), state as follows: Plaintiffs bring this action individually and on behalf of a class of all Ukrainian nationals, and their heirs, who were compelled to perform slave and forced labor [as hereinafter defined] for German companies from 1933 to 1945. Plaintiffs seek an accounting, the imposition of a constructive trust, restitution, disgorgement and to recover compensatory and punitive damages arising out of Defendants participation in a common scheme and course of conduct among themselves and with the Nazi Regime [as hereinafter defined] to participate in and profit from, both directly and indirectly, the inhumane and genocidal system of forced/slave labor inflicted by the Nazi Regime upon those peoples that it viewed, not as human beings, but as expendable resources necessary to fuel the German political and war machines. An intrinsic part of this criminal scheme to profit from forced labor was the implementation of a savings plan whereby substantial portions of the meager salaries of the forced laborers were withheld by their German employers and deposited in savings accounts maintained ostensibly for the benefit of the laborer and/or his family.

Extractions: War, Peace and the Rule of Law in the 21st Century I gratefully acknowledge the contributions of Fredrik S. Heffermehl, Master of Laws, to the present article. In the 20th Century more people died in wars than in all wars in all previous centuries taken together. The common hopes of those who organized the first big international peace conference at the Hague in 1899 were not fulfilled. Not only because of all the lives lost. Since the Second World War, the pursuit for security with military means, has placed the world under a constant threat of total extinction. Around 200,000 people were instantly killed by the atom bombs that hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Around 100,000 were severely injured, but survived for shorter or longer periods. Today the nuclear powers have constructed new types of bombs that are many thousand times more powerful than those that fell over Japan in 1945. A major part of the total arsenal can be released in 45 minutes. The brutal truth is: Life on earth as we know it today can be eliminated in a matter of hours. In the 20th Century there has also been great legal progress concerning peaceful resolution of international conflicts. The United Nations Charter of 1945 prohibits threat or use of force against sovereign states, except in self defense.
