This document discusses international crime and efforts to address it. It defines key terms like state sovereignty, international crime, and transnational crime. International crimes can be divided into two categories: crimes against the international community like genocide and war crimes, and transnational crimes that cross borders like drug trafficking and terrorism. The document examines challenges in prosecuting international crimes and discusses domestic and international approaches. Domestically, countries sign agreements, ratify them in domestic law, and fund enforcement agencies. Internationally, ad hoc tribunals and the International Criminal Court have been established but face issues with effectiveness, bias perceptions, and political barriers to referrals.
Immunities as a special privilege is being provided under the private international law to persons having sovereign status, for not getting punished under a foreign law.
A basic discussion on State Jurisdiction under International Criminal Law. The main focus of this lecture is to pinpoint the criminal jurisdiction of a state where a foreign element is connected and the crime is international by nature.
Masters thesis on the right of self-determination. The author argues that this right is applicable outside the colonial context. Even though outside the colonial context the internal aspect of this right should be emphasised, the author describes the limited conditions under which a people is entitled to external self-determination in the form of remedial secession.
Terrorism in International Law: The struggle to define terrorismAnthony Veluz
International Criminal Justice.
In our ICJ module we are required to do a presentation in each seminar on the week's topic area. Our presentation would usually consist of one of:
- literature review
- case review
- current issues
For our final seminar we had to give a presentation on one of the following topics:
- aggression
- terrorism
- torture
My presentation was on terrorism and I mainly looked at the literature on this area, with the odd case and current issues included. My primary focus was on the definition of terrorism as I couldn't find a universally accepted definition and looked at the problems this caused. The battle against terrorism is difficult enough, hampered by the absence of a definition. I examine the reasons as to why there isn't a definition, the difficulties in establishing one, the effect of establishing one, and therefore answering the question whether a definition of terrorism is actually needed.

The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) is a treaty that established the ICC, the first permanent international criminal court to prosecute individuals for the most serious crimes Crimes that are considered of international concern include acts such as genocide,
https://lawlegal.me/rome-statute-1998/
The International Criminal Justice and the international judicial mechanisms such as the Transitional Justice are far away to promote impunity for crimes against humanity or war crimes. This is inferred from the analysis carried out by Jhon Cubbon, Senior Legal Officer of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, on these kinds of Tribunales established for the prosecution and punishment of those responsible or these serious crimes.
THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT (ICC) AND MYANMAR-BANGLADESHMYO AUNG Myanmar
The International Criminal Court (ICC) investigates and, where warranted, tries individuals charged with the gravest crimes of concern to the international community: genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression.
The Court is participating in a global fight to end impunity, and through international criminal justice, the Court aims to hold those responsible accountable for their crimes and to help prevent these crimes from happening again.
The Court cannot reach these goals alone. As a court of last resort, it seeks to complement, not replace, national Courts. Governed by an international treaty called the Rome Statute, the ICC is the world’s first permanent international criminal court.

The Globalization of Crime
Transnational crime partly stems from globalization—the internationalization of
trade, services, investment, information and other forms of human social activity.
As defined by the United Nations, transnational crimes are unlawful activities
undertaken by organized criminal groups operating across national boundaries and
include:Terrorism Drug traffickingMoney launderingAlien smugglingHuman and weapons traffickingFraud and corruptiontreaties.un.org/doc/source/RecentTexts/18-12E.doc

Transnational crime (continued)
Comparative criminology is the cross-national study of crime.
Also, it compares crime patterns in one country with those in another and develops theories with increased specificity managing to construct them in such way they can applied across more than one culture or nation-state.
Comparative criminologists study crime on a cross-national level and use those studies to evaluate and improve the U.S. system of criminal justice.

An Introduction to Criminal Law
Comparative Criminology
One major impediment to Comparative Criminology is the fact the United States is generally an “ethnocentric” culture. Ethnocentrism is the tendency to strongly believe a group's ethnic or cultural group is centrally important and all other groups are measured in relation to that group. Ethnocentric people critically judge other groups relative to his ethnic group, culture and norms. This is especially true in relation to one’s language, behavior, customs, and religion.
Ethnocentric cultures are often not open to considering or even in some case tolerating, research or ideas that are different to the accepted norm within that culture.

INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT - FACT SHEETVogelDenise
17 USC § 107 Limitations on Exclusive Rights – FAIR USE
The International Criminal Court
For more than half a century since the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials, states have largely
failed to bring to justice those responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. With the creation of the International Criminal Court (ICC), the world has begun to fulfill the post-World War II promise of “never again.” The ICC is the world’s first permanent, international judicial body capable of bringing perpetrators to justice and providing redress to victims when states are unable or unwilling to do so. This represents a major stride for international justice. . .
What crimes does the Court prosecute?
The ICC can prosecute and bring to justice individuals accused of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
How do cases come before the Court?
Cases come before the court in one of three ways: (1) The Court’s Prosecutor can initiate an investigation into a situation where one or more of the crimes has been committed, based on information from any source, including the victim or the victim’s family, but only if the Court has jurisdiction over the crime and individual. (2) States that have ratified the Rome Statute may ask the Prosecutor to investigate a situation where one or more of the crimes have been committed. (3) The U.N. Security Council can ask the Prosecutor to investigate a situation where one or more of the crimes have been committed, even if the crimes occurred in the territory of a state that has not ratified the Rome Statute or was committed by the national of such a state.
What is the U.S. position on the Court?
…the ICC would only investigate cases involving U.S. nationals if the U.S. failed to investigate and, if appropriate, prosecute the individuals responsible. …

The principle of universal jurisdiction allows the national authorities of any state to investigate and prosecute people for serious international crimes even if they were committed in another country. For example, this means that the German government could, if it chose to do so, prosecute U.S. officials for crimes committed in Iraq and Afghanistan. - http://www.childabductioncourt.eu

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
