This document summarizes a study on motivations for firearm purchases in Jordan. The study investigated differences between urban Amman and rural Badiyya regions. It aimed to determine if regional conflicts compel Jordanians to buy guns for security and if gun culture varies by region. Through interviews and observations of 21 individuals in both areas, the study found that culture, not security concerns, is the main motivation. While gun ownership is greater in Badiyya due to traditional Bedouin culture, qualifications were needed, as purchasing guns is now difficult everywhere in Jordan due to strict laws. The study provides context on Jordanian gun laws and culture and insights into the complex social and legal implications of gun ownership in the country.

Anti-Corruption Compliance and Enforcement: Key Developments in 2016 & Beyond...Thomas LaPointe
The heightened domestic crusades against corruption imply a clear message: aggressive enforcement actions across borders is on the horizon. Increased parallel enforcement actions are also expected to take place engaging multiple jurisdictions against multinational entities. In this light, enforcement authorities are encouraging companies to closely monitor the effectiveness of their policies and procedures and ramp up their compliance strategies to mitigate future legal risks and challenges.
In a two-hour LIVE Webcast, a seasoned panel of thought leaders, professionals and practitioners brought together by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience with an in-depth discussion of the fundamentals as well as recent regulatory developments relating to Anti-Corruption Compliance and Enforcement. Speakers will also present their expert thoughts and opinions on how to establish and maintain an effective and efficient anti-corruption enforcement program.
Key topics include:
Anti-Corruption Enforcement - An Overview
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
Compliance Requirements
Recent Trends in Anti-Corruption Enforcement
Key Risk Areas
Impacts and Implications of Anti-Corruption Enforcement
The New Anti-Corruption Squad
Up-to-the-minute Regulatory Developments

Developing cultural dexterity leads to cultural competence. Cultural competence — the ability to work effectively across a variety of cultures — begins as a conversation among people who see the world differently.
Developing dexterity with diversity does not just happen. We need social and educational experiences plus reflection on the experience to go beyond reliance on stereotypes. The Universal Declaration makes it clear that each individual must acknowledge not only “otherness” in all its forms, but also the plurality of his or her own identity, within societies that are themselves plural.
Understanding diversity embraces acceptance, respect, and empathy. It means we understand that each individual is unique and multi-faceted. This means understanding each other despite our differences. This is the most important dialogue we can have in the Boardrooms and University classrooms around the world.
Groupwork can be very rewarding for both faculty and
students, or it can be disastrous! At their best, group
projects foster productive collaboration and idea sharing
among future professionals and that is the goal. At their
worst, team projects could force high achieving students to
compensate for those less willing to put in effort and that
is just unfair. It is up to us as educators to ensure the
former and not the latter outcomes.

Developing cultural dexterity leads to cultural competence. Cultural competence — the ability to work effectively across a variety of cultures — begins as a conversation among people who see the world differently.
Developing dexterity with diversity does not just happen. We need social and educational experiences plus reflection on the experience to go beyond reliance on stereotypes. The Universal Declaration makes it clear that each individual must acknowledge not only “otherness” in all its forms, but also the plurality of his or her own identity, within societies that are themselves plural.
Understanding diversity embraces acceptance, respect, and empathy. It means we understand that each individual is unique and multi-faceted. This means understanding each other despite our differences. This is the most important dialogue we can have in the Boardrooms and University classrooms around the world.
Groupwork can be very rewarding for both faculty and
students, or it can be disastrous! At their best, group
projects foster productive collaboration and idea sharing
among future professionals and that is the goal. At their
worst, team projects could force high achieving students to
compensate for those less willing to put in effort and that
is just unfair. It is up to us as educators to ensure the
former and not the latter outcomes.
Our current conversations about Diversity are incomplete,
and too narrowly construed, without addressing Cultural
Diversity. New terminology - "plurality of diversity."
Basics of Transport Diplomacy bu Juliette Passer, Esq.Juliette Passer
The document discusses transport diplomacy and its role in implementing the UN's sustainable development agenda. It summarizes that the UN Office of Legal Affairs is responsible for depositary functions under 560 treaties and registering international agreements. The UN works on issues like transport security, climate change, and infrastructure development. The International Center for Transport Diplomacy was created to help achieve the UN's 2030 agenda through areas like trade, the environment, and innovative financing. Transport diplomacy involves issues at the intersection of law, mobility, trade, quality of life, and climate change. The course aims to enhance understanding of transport diplomacy and its significance for both international cooperation and domestic policy.

2) Important trade routes and agreements discussed include the Shanghai Cooperation Organization transport corridor, which connects Russia and China, and China's One Belt, One Road strategy.
3) Innovative approaches are needed to manage the rising tide of global e-commerce and develop sustainable ancillary transport infrastructure along trade corridors.
Due diligence for transactions in offshore jurisdictions summary 1.03Juliette Passer
The document discusses due diligence for transactions in offshore jurisdictions. It notes that due diligence is important to identify risks and ensure each party gets what they expect from the deal. Effective due diligence must identify deal breakers, key risks, and operational issues. The presentation recommends retaining local counsel, reviewing ownership and financial records thoroughly, and considering legal and regulatory factors like labor laws, intellectual property issues, and political risks.
Despite slower growth of 7.8% in September 2012 compared to 8.3% in September 2011, Panama is still expected to see double-digit economic growth for the year overall. Growth continues to be led by gains in construction and mining due to major infrastructure projects like the Panama Canal expansion and metro system construction. While some sectors like hotels, restaurants, and transportation saw gains from increased tourism and trade, manufacturing and fishing declined.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

Part 1: Course Information
This course is taught under the assumption that most of the students attending this course do
not intend to enter law schools or the employment of an international agency after their
graduation. They take International Law because it is an alternative to fulfil the necessary
credits or they believe it is something different. This course is therefore designed to offer a broad
overview of international law and its various areas, its relations to politics, and current
challenges of the international legal environment. The focus will be on the theoretical
background of international law as well as its practical implications in our globalized world, but
it is only the tip of the iceberg and a steppingstone to the world of global issues.
In short 5 weeks, we will be able to discuss only a small part of an enormous field of legal practice
and learning. Hopefully, these discussions will help you to become lifetime learners in
international law!
International Law is essentially the law which governs the relationship between nation-states,
although the subjects of international law now also extend to individuals, international
organizations and other actors.
It is law, to be sure (well...see the readings), but it is extraordinarily tied to public policy and
political realities. It is, thus, particularly appropriate that this class is taught in a political science
department, as no other field of law is as connected to politics – and all fields of law are
connected to politics. This course will introduce the essential features of international law, and
highlights from subfields.
There will be three major parts to the course:
PART I. SYSTEMIC ELEMENTS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW
PART II. INTER–RELATIONSHIP OF INTERNATIONAL LAW AND NATIONAL LAW
4. 4
PART III. SPECIALIZED AREAS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW
We will begin by considering fundamental questions about the nature of international law, such
as: the sources of international law (including treaties and customary international law); the
subjects of international law; the origins of international law in the sovereign equality of states;
principles of state responsibility; the bases upon which states may exercise jurisdiction; and the
global governance challenges arising from the absence of assured mechanisms for the
interpretation or enforcement of international law. We will then examine the operation of
international law in the U.S. legal system. In the latter part of the course, we will look at a series
of contemporary international law topics and issues, including international human rights law,
the law governing coercion and the use of armed force, the law of armed conflict, international
environmental law, and international criminal law.
Throughout, we will consider current issues and problems arising in the international arena and
the extent to which international law actually affects the behavior of states.
This course is composed of only five weeks; during each week basic concepts of international law
will be introduced and discussed. It is very important that students read the assigned materials
early during each week (usually about 100 pages per week). This should enable us to optimize
the rather limited time we have during the summer semester. As an integral part of the course,
the online format demands everyone’s active participation on the Discussion Board and
otherwise.
Part 2: Course Learning Objectives and Assessments
Learning Outcomes
This course aims to:
provide you with fundamental knowledge of the development of international law, its basic
functions and workings, its role in our world today, and its most pressing challenges these days
offer you an overview of how international law affects domestic law, as well as individuals and
their daily life
give you an understanding of the various fields of international law (legal sources, international
organizations, environmental law and climate change, law of the sea and territorial disputes,
etc.) and how they are interconnected
engender an understanding and appreciation of the international legal system, as well as
familiarizing you with its significance for the law (both international and domestic) as well as
politics
engage on topics of contemporary and timeless significance
enhance your analytical skills and your ability to critically engage with international issues, in
particular by writing short memoranda and the final paper.
5. 5
At the end of this course, you will have a better understanding of the basic
principles and concepts of International Law, as well as the analytical ability to
navigate and examine the global political system.

Academic Integrity Statement
Each student must pursue his or her academic goals honestly and be personally accountable for all
submitted work. Representing another person's work as your own is always wrong. Faculty is required to
report any suspected instances of academic dishonesty to the Academic Judiciary. Faculty in the Health
Sciences Center (School of Health Technology & Management, Nursing, Social Welfare, Dental Medicine)
and School of Medicine are required to follow their school-specific procedures. For more comprehensive
14. 14
information on academic integrity, including categories of academic dishonesty please refer to the
academic judiciary website at http://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/academic_integrity/index.html
Critical Incident Management
Stony Brook University expects students to respect the rights, privileges, and property of other people.
Faculty are required to report to the Office of University Community Standards any disruptive behavior
that interrupts their ability to teach, compromises the safety of the learning environment, or inhibits
students' ability to learn. Faculty in the HSC Schools and the School of Medicine are required to follow
their school-specific procedures. Further information about most academic matters can be found in the
Undergraduate Bulletin, the Undergraduate Class Schedule, and the Faculty-Employee Handbook.
