Involuntary Circumcision: The Legal Issues 5; Haberfield L. The law and male circumcision in Australia medical, legal, andcultural issues. J law Med 1997; 4 37985; Cuckow PM, Rix G, Mouriquand PD. http://www.cirp.org/library/legal/vanhowe5/
Extractions: Introduction Circumcision is the amputation of the prepuce from the rest of the penis, resulting in permanent alteration of the anatomy histology and function of the penis [ ]. Recently, legal scholars have challenged the legality of neonatal circumcision [ ] and argued that it constitutes child abuse [ ]. While this conjecture may seem outlandish to American physicians, who tend to a population in which 70-90% of the males are circumcised neonatally, such claims have a strong foundation in legal precedent and medico-ethical standards that aim to protect the bodily integrity of persons.

Extractions: Home Office of the Prosecutor About the Roster Assignments Annual experts' meetings Applying to join the Roster The Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC-OTP) will face novel, challenging and evolving legal issues in its work, and thus has a clear interest in accessing rigorous and timely legal analysis while maintaining operational flexibility. Accordingly, the Chief Prosecutor has recently established a Roster of external experts with specialisation in (a) international criminal law, (b) international criminal procedure and evidence, and/or (c) international humanitarian law. The aim of the Roster is to facilitate the provision of specialist, independent legal advice and drafting to the ICC-OTP on complex questions of international law, subject to the operational needs of the ICC-OTP, the requirements of confidentiality and the need to avoid conflicts of interest. The modalities of the operation of the Roster are described below. Assignments to Roster experts will normally be on an ad hoc basis, as determined by the concrete needs of the ICC-OTP. Needless to say, it is difficult for the Office to predict the specific needs which may arise in its future operations. Only after a certain period of actual investigations and proceedings before the Court can the use of Roster experts take on a degree of predictability.

Extractions: NVAA 2000 Text Chapter 22 Supplement Special Topics Section 7, International Issues in Victim Assistance Statistical Overview Assistance to Families of Pan Am 103 Victims The bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 on December 21, 1988, over Lockerbie, Scotland, took the lives of 270 individuals from twenty-one countries, including 189 Americans. It was the worst terrorist atrocity in aviation history. Reserve funds from the Crime Victims Fund, available through the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) set aside for victims of terrorism and mass violence have been drawn upon to assist families of Pan Am 103 victims. The U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), in partnership with the Scottish government, is working to ensure that Pan Am 103 victims' families receive information and assistance throughout the trial process. A comprehensive database at OVC contains updated information on more than 600 family members, and OVC has a full-time coordinator for the Pan Am 103 project. In coordination with the Scottish prosecutors, police, and the Scottish Court Service, OVC is providing the following services to families:
Extractions: An Occasional Diary From Our Man In Kosovo - Tim Clayson Supreme Court Due to the commitment I have had to make to the war crimes case that started in February, concerning four high ranking former Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) members, I have only been able to deal with a very small number of cases in the Supreme Court. This case is due to conclude in July, so I am looking forward to some more hugely interesting work. However, I have dealt with a number of appeals against orders of detention, and also with one appeal against a verdict in a case of murder typical of the ethnic related crimes that, for a period, were common after the conclusion of the war. I hope too that in the next few months it will be possible to achieve greater integration with the work of the local judiciary in the Supreme Court and to make progress in a number of critical areas. In particular, the creation of new codes of criminal procedure and substantive criminal law provides an excellent opportunity for establishing the Supreme Court as the pre-eminent authority on the law. It may seem odd that this should be necessary but there are at least two particular factors which have resulted in a need to enhance the standing of the Supreme Court.

Remarks Of Jonathan Hecht in the Chinese government s use of the legal system to as paradoxical as it may seem,law is simultaneously human rights and the closely related issues of the http://www.cecc.gov/pages/hearings/041102/hecht.php
Extractions: Thank you Senator Baucus, Congressman Bereuter, and the other members of the Commission for inviting me to speak here today. As Congress recognized in establishing this Commission, it is vitally important that China make progress on human rights. This is important first and foremost for Chinese themselves, who have long lived under political systems that denied them fundamental freedoms and are now navigating a difficult transition toward a market economy and, hopefully, a more open society. But it is also important for the rest of the world. China's emergence as a global power is one of the most important geopolitical events of our lifetimes. It is essential that the China that emerges from this process is one that respects individual liberties and its internationally binding commitments on human rights. Progress on human rights in China is also vital to the United States. Our relationship with China is one of our most important bilateral relationships. It cannot be truly cooperative until the human rights situation in China improves. These new laws contain serious flaws in conception and face many obstacles in implementation. Reformers within China are working to highlight these problems and to press for further change. In the meantime, Chinese themselves are making increasing use their expanded legal system. The number of cases in the Chinese courts, including successful suits against the state, has risen dramatically in the last decade. In addition, new groups have emerged to advocate for improved legal protection of rights, often through legal aid centers for women's rights or administrative litigation or the environment. As this shows, legal reform and other developments in China are creating increased rights consciousness and higher expectations for the legal system. This is a very important trend, for law should not only foster respect for human rights. It should also be a means by which individuals can demand respect for human rights.
Statement Of Raj Purohit role of the lawyer within the legal system. Wang had published articles about socialand human rights issues. 3 lawyers law of the People s Republic of China http://www.cecc.gov/pages/roundtables/030402/purohit.php
Extractions: The Lawyers Committee is an independent non-governmental human rights organization. We aim to hold governments accountable to the international standards of human rights, and work to develop stronger models of corporate accountability in the global market place. The Lawyers Committee considers that human rights conditions in China continue to be an issue of deep concern. Over the past year, China has secured a prominent position in the international arena, symbolized by its admission to the WTO, its successful bid to host the 2008 Olympics and the recent visit of President Bush. However, this has not been accompanied by a parallel improvement in human rights. Instead, government statements about upholding "the rule of law" have frequently veiled harsh political repression. This is most poignantly illustrated by the "Strike Hard" campaign, which resulted in scores of executions after procedural and substantive abuses of criminal law. Moreover, in the aftermath of the September 11 tragedy in New York, anti-terrorist rhetoric has been misused to legitimize harsh crack-downs in Tibet and Xinjiang province, and illegitimate censorship of all forms of media, including the internet.

Legal Disparities and the Child Witness Laura Park, Ph.D. The ideal goals of our legal system are equality and fairness - equal justice for all within an open, ordered, and impartial system (Law Society of Upper Canada, 1996). A legal process designed for adults, however, cannot be applied to childrens cases under the assumption that adult and childrens testimonial capabilities are identical. Children, by virtue of their immaturity, bring both capabilities and limitations to the task of providing testimony. The law must reflect the reality that children are not miniature adults on the witness stand (Bala, 1991). In many ways the law recognizes that children are less developed than adults to understand situations and to make decisions and judgments as children are afforded a variety of special considerations designed to protect them by virtue of being a child.
Extractions: for free legal advice on BDSM issues by Frederick McDermott The information which follows was donated to gloria-brame.com in 1998 by Rumpoule as a special service to the SM/fetish communities. Rumpoule is no longer accepting queries or email: this page offers some of his legal opinions on BDSM issues important to us all. I have been a criminal defense lawyer for over twenty years. I've also been in the leather lifestyle for nearly twenty-five years. I am submissive to women as a preferred form of sexuality and lifestyle. I decided I wanted to give something back to people who, like me, have a different kind sexuality or lifestyle by learning about how the law affects us. I want to collect and pass that information on to the community's members by giving lectures and acting as a resource. As you read this, you may find it to be a little frightening. Please remember that, in a legal sense just as in health considerations, there is no such thing as "safe sex." There is however, with education, "safer sex." Just as in the health arena, education and caution can help to avoid frightening results. So be aware of what you are doing, act responsibly, and you will find you can avoid that which you may fear. Please keep in mind that there are 50 states, the District of Columbia and the United States. Federal laws generally do not have much impact. In fact, J. Edgar Hoover once said, "I regret to say that we of the FBI are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce."
