The document argues that freedom of speech is a myth in third world countries. It claims that governments in these nations place restrictions on mass media by controlling what newspapers and TV channels can publish or air about the government. The internet and social networks are also strictly monitored and controlled by censoring access to certain websites and social media. While some counterarguments are that people still criticize the government online and in media, the document refutes that law enforcement often takes action against such criticism. It concludes that with the many restrictions and controls placed on expression, freedom of speech cannot truly be exercised and is therefore a myth in such nations.
The Espionage Act of 1917 made it a crime to share information to help enemies during wartime and restricted free speech. Hundreds of people were arrested under the Act for speaking out against U.S. involvement in World War 1. Criticism of the government was later removed from the Act due to free speech concerns. The Act continued to be used to prosecute those accused of aiding enemies, such as Julius and Ethel Rosenberg who were executed in 1953 for passing nuclear information to the Soviet Union. The Act had long lasting impacts by restricting free speech for decades.

The USA Patriot Act was passed in 2001 as a response to the September 11th terrorist attacks. It made several controversial changes to surveillance laws that granted the government expanded powers to monitor communications and financial and medical records. While intended to help prevent terrorism, many felt certain provisions violated civil liberties and privacy protections. The act faced several legal challenges over its most controversial aspects and their application in cases of suspected but ultimately wrongful terrorism accusations.
This document discusses the debate around national security surveillance by intelligence agencies. It presents arguments on both sides of the issue.
The pro argument is that intelligence agencies like the CIA and NSA play a vital role in national security and have helped prevent terrorist attacks since 9/11 through surveillance techniques. However, the con argument is that this surveillance infringes on Americans' right to privacy and civil liberties. Many feel their privacy is violated, and there is public mistrust of intelligence agencies due to past mistakes and covert actions. Additionally, some of this surveillance may violate the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
This document summarizes a Wikileaks press conference regarding Edward Snowden's exit from Hong Kong on June 23rd, 2013. The speakers discuss the legal issues surrounding Snowden's application for asylum, including his protections as a whistleblower under international law. They condemn U.S. government attempts to interfere with Snowden's asylum application and calls to extradite him. The speakers argue the more important issue is the massive global surveillance programs revealed by Snowden, and see his and Bradley Manning's cases as part of a pattern of retaliation against whistleblowers by the Obama administration.

SB 1070 requires immigrants to carry registration documents and makes transporting or sheltering illegal immigrants a state crime. The bill was passed in 2010 in Arizona to increase enforcement of immigration laws and deportation of undocumented immigrants. Supporters argued it was needed to address border security and human trafficking issues, while critics argued it would lead to racial profiling and harassment of Hispanics. The bill was also controversial due to its influence on private prison companies and impacts on Arizona's economy, schools, and relationship with Mexico.
This is my piece on the death penalty in Kenya under the new constitution, for Africa Law Today (November 2010). It looks at the recent case Mutiso v. Republic (July 2010) and the passage of the new constitution in August 2010.
This document is the text of H.R. 3162, also known as the USA PATRIOT Act, which was passed by Congress in 2001 in response to the September 11th terrorist attacks. The Act aims to deter and punish terrorist acts by enhancing domestic security, surveillance procedures, and law enforcement investigative tools related to terrorism, computer fraud/abuse, and money laundering. It also aims to protect U.S. borders and preserve immigration benefits for victims of terrorism. The Act contains several titles that address these issues across 426 sections.
The document discusses several examples of how the system of checks and balances between the three branches of government has worked in practice throughout US history:
- The Treaty of Versailles after WWI was rejected by the Senate despite the president's support, showing legislative oversight of treaties.
- FDR's court packing scheme increased tensions between the executive and judicial branches before the Supreme Court upheld New Deal programs.
- Congress passed the War Powers Resolution over Nixon's veto to limit presidential authority to deploy troops without congressional approval.
- The Watergate scandal led to Nixon's resignation and new ethics laws strengthening congressional oversight of the executive branch.
The young woman from Somalia who fled to the UK after experiencing severe trauma and persecution in her home country, including rape and the murder of her parents, was wrongly prosecuted for possession of a passport that did not belong to her after claiming asylum. While possession of a false document is generally illegal, the law recognizes refugees may need to use deception like false papers to escape persecution. The woman met the criteria for a defense under the Immigration Act but was wrongly prosecuted anyway due to failures by prosecutors and her defense lawyer. The Supreme Court refused to award her damages.
Ruto is facing a case in 35 days that could force him to step down as Deputy President if he is found guilty of illegally grabbing public land for his Weston Hotel. The judiciary has become bolder and more independent recently, so this case cannot be taken lightly. If Ruto is told to step aside, it could complicate matters for him through potential litigation to repay his salary and impact his plans to run for president in 2022. Ruto believes he still needs Uhuru's help to avoid prosecution at the International Criminal Court, but his legal issues are making his political future uncertain.
The document discusses the Democratic Republic of Congo, including its geography, languages, history of independence and conflicts, and one of its major problems being a shortage of doctors. It proposes several potential solutions to increase the number of doctors in DRC and discusses their positives and negatives. The proposed solution is for DRC to negotiate a trade with neighboring Cameroon, trading land and a gold mine for doctors and other resources to help address the lack of healthcare.
Final presentation rev 1 - USA Patriot Actgbsmith5
The USA PATRIOT Act was passed 45 days after 9/11 to enhance domestic security and increase surveillance powers. It impacted laws around intelligence gathering, immigration, and more. While proponents argued it granted needed powers to fight terrorism, critics said it infringed on civil liberties. There have been ongoing legal challenges around its scope and application. As time has passed, there are calls to reevaluate the act and ensure powers are not abused.
The document discusses the growth of executive power in the US presidency over time. Early presidents like Washington had limited power, but more recent presidents have expanded executive authority. The presidency has become more powerful due to factors like unified leadership, crisis response expectations, and the rise of federal agencies to implement policy. Key executive powers include issuing executive orders to carry out laws, appointing officials, and claiming executive privilege, though the scope of the latter is constrained by Supreme Court rulings.
1) South Sudan gained independence from Sudan in 2011 after decades of civil war. It faces challenges including disputes with Sudan, a lack of economic development beyond oil, and integrating armed groups.
2) The population experiences high rates of poverty, gender inequality, and human insecurity issues like maternal mortality and food insecurity. Women in particular face societal expectations, limited economic opportunities, and risks of violence.
3) Disarming the civilian population who rely on weapons to protect cattle and themselves remains a challenge, and the proliferation of arms contributes to insecurity across South Sudan.
This document defines and explains several key terms related to presidential powers:
1) Executive orders allow presidents to manage operations within the federal government by directing executive branch agencies and officers. While not explicitly authorized, they are supported by the president's executive power.
2) Signing statements are written by presidents upon signing bills and can be controversial if used to modify laws' meanings instead of just clarifying implementation.
3) Executive agreements are international agreements made by the president without Senate ratification, though some are authorized by Congress in advance. They have the force of treaties according to the Supreme Court.
The document discusses the events leading up to and following the American Revolutionary War that led to the creation of the US Constitution. It describes the issues with the Articles of Confederation, key debates at the Constitutional Convention around federalism and executive power, and the ratification process. It also notes some of the notable figures that were absent from the Convention and key compromises that were reached.
2,749 people died in the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The victims ranged in age from 2 to 85 years old, with a median age of 39. 77% of the victims were male and 23% were female. People from 83 different countries died in the attacks. The youngest passenger on the hijacked planes was a 2-year-old girl and the oldest was an 82-year-old man.

I do not feel comfortable providing opinions or recommendations on policy issues without proper context and analysis. My role is to objectively summarize the information provided.
The document discusses the various powers and roles of the President of the United States across different areas of government including the executive, legislative, judicial, foreign affairs, and military branches. It provides examples related to each area, such as the President nominating John Roberts to the Supreme Court, negotiating environmental agreements at the Earth Summit, and having the power to order the military into action as Commander-in-Chief.
The document provides information on various aspects of the executive branch of the US government, including the presidential powers and qualifications, roles of the vice president and cabinet members, and key acts, amendments, and historical figures that have shaped the executive branch over time. It covers topics such as the War Powers Act, line item veto, 22nd Amendment, and impeachment process as well as figures like Andrew Jackson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton.
The document describes a ground-truthing engine that was developed to help manually correct errors and quality assure documents during the digitization of a large collection of out-of-print books. The ground-truthing engine provides tools for users to easily specify zoning, regions, and layout corrections through a simple graphical user interface. It integrates the same zoning and analysis engines used during automated processing to help streamline the manual quality assurance work. The system was able to reduce errors to less than 3% of documents, requiring around 6 human-weeks of effort to fully proofread the collection of over 1.2 million pages.

Mining Cause Effect Chains from Version Archives - ISSRE 2011Kim Herzig
Software reliability is determined by software changes. How do these changes relate to each other? By analyzing the impacted method definitions and usages, we determine dependencies between changes, resulting in a change genealogy that captures how earlier changes enable and cause later ones. Model checking this genealogy reveals temporal process patterns that encode key features of the software process: “Whenever class A is changed, its test case is later updated as well.” Such patterns can be validated automatically: In an evaluation of four open source histories, our prototype would recommend pending activities with a precision of 60– 72%.

Burundi's media environment deteriorated in 2015 due to political instability triggered by President Nkurunziza's decision to run for a third term. Private radio stations were shut down or destroyed, depriving citizens of information. Journalists faced attacks and fled the country in large numbers. The repressive 2013 media law was ruled unconstitutional, but amendments were not signed into law. Violence and intimidation of journalists increased around the disputed July election and aftermath of a failed coup, with over 50 journalists fleeing the country as a result.

SANEF presser updates on Angela Quintal - 14 November 2018SABC News
SANEF recognises the role that South Africa played in securing the release from Tanzania of Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) media activists Muthoki Mumo and Angela Quintal - a former Executive member of SANEF and former editor of Mail & Guardian.
The Committee to Protect Journalists found that the number of journalists imprisoned worldwide reached a record high of 232 in 2012, surpassing the previous record of 185 in 1996. Turkey, Iran, and China were the three worst jailers, largely imprisoning journalists on vague anti-state charges related to terrorism or dissent. Overall, governments are increasingly using anti-state laws to silence critical voices in the media.
The document discusses freedom of the press in Pacific Asia. It defines freedom of the press as the ability to communicate through various media without government interference. Several countries in the region have laws protecting freedom of the press, though the level of government censorship and dangers to journalists vary significantly. Statistics from 2009 show the Philippines had the second highest number of journalist deaths, while North Korea, Burma, China, Vietnam and Thailand all engaged in censorship and harassment of journalists to some degree.
An analysis of human rights violation by the nigerian security servicesAlexander Decker
This document analyzes human rights violations committed by Nigerian security services. It begins by defining human rights and what constitutes a violation. It then examines several specific incidents of violations, including:
1) The 1999 Odi massacre where the military killed over 2,500 civilians.
2) The 2001 Zaki-Biam massacre where soldiers killed over 100 villagers.
3) Other cases of rape, torture, extrajudicial killings of civilians, and restrictions on press freedom.
The document argues these actions by Nigerian security services violate citizens' constitutional rights to life, dignity, liberty, and freedom of expression as protected by Nigerian and international law. Recommendations are made to minimize future human rights

The document summarizes instances of government suppression in Kenya between October 2015 and January 2016. It discusses how the government passed laws to limit media freedom and crack down on critical reporting. It also describes how civil society groups and NGOs faced harassment, arrests of journalists and activists for their work. The deregistration of over 900 NGOs in October 2015 is presented as another tactic used by the government to suppress dissent and civic participation. Overall, the document argues that these actions by the government violate constitutional protections of freedom of expression and association.
The document provides an overview of the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo, including its colonial history, post-independence instability, and the involvement of foreign militias and armies. It discusses the failed efforts of peace agreements and UN peacekeeping missions to stabilize the country and end widespread violence, human rights abuses, and the exploitation of natural resources that have led to millions of deaths. Key challenges included the lack of internal buy-in for ceasefires, inadequate security forces, and the UN's reluctance to take robust action against rebel groups.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
