This document provides information on refugee and asylum statistics in South Africa. It discusses the history and legislation around refugees, including the Refugees Act of 1998. It also presents statistics on asylum applications received between 2008-2018, with the highest numbers coming from DRC, Bangladesh, and Ethiopia. In 2018, over 90% of asylum claims were rejected. The document notes that South Africa experiences high mixed migration flows, and that its asylum system is being abused by many economic migrants. Deportation numbers are also presented.
This document provides guidance on monitoring cases under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act 1989 and Rules 1995 (POA). It outlines the key steps to take before, during, and after an atrocity occurs. These include obtaining relevant documents on state mechanisms for POA implementation, choosing a case where strong community support exists, ensuring proper filing of FIRs and charge sheets, monitoring investigations and provision of victim relief, and engaging with vigilance committees. The goal is to use RTI and internal POA mechanisms to help victims access justice and hold officials accountable for dereliction of duties under the Act.
Systemic Analysis of the Levels of Protection Guaranteed in Regional Human Ri...ijtsrd
The continental division of humanity in the era of contemporary globalization has given rise to several regional systems of human rights protection that offer nuanced guarantees. It goes without saying that these regional mechanisms constitute the highest and strongest protection of human rights insofar as they involve jurisdictional institutions under the provisions of regional instruments. It is therefore necessary to analyze the legal differences that can be observed from one regional system to another in order to evaluate the quality of the protection guaranteed in each.

This document summarizes a study on human trafficking policies in the US, Mexico, China, and Russia. It finds that the US (Tier 1) has the most comprehensive victim-centered laws that focus on prevention, protection, and prosecution. Mexico (Tier 2) has improved but still needs to implement more victim services. China (Tier 2 WL) criminalizes trafficking but needs rehabilitation programs. Russia (Tier 3) only criminalizes trafficking without victim protections. Overall, successful policies put victims' human rights first with comprehensive plans including protection, prosecution, and prevention.
Final Act Switzerland: Federal Act on the Freezing and Restitution of Illicit Assets Held by Foreign Politically Exposed Persons (Men and Women) or Foreign Illicit Assets Act FIAA
This document is the Federal Act on the Freezing and the Restitution of Illicit Assets Held by Foreign Politically Exposed Persons (Foreign Illicit Assets Act) passed by the Swiss Federal Assembly on December 18, 2015. The act allows Switzerland to freeze and confiscate assets located in Switzerland that were acquired through corruption or criminal acts by foreign politically exposed persons or their close associates. It establishes procedures for freezing assets pending mutual legal assistance requests from other countries, confiscating frozen assets if legal assistance fails, and returning confiscated assets to improve conditions in the country of origin.
The Minister of Women & Child Development Smt Maneka Sanjay Gandhi released the draft “Trafficking of Persons (Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation) Bill, 2016” in New Delhi today for further stakeholders consultations and comments. The Bill aims to create a strong legal, economic and social environment against trafficking of persons and related matters.
Speaking on the occasion, Smt Maneka Sanjay Gandhi said that the Bill is victim oriented and makes clear the distinction between the ‘trafficker’ and the ‘trafficked’. The WCD Minister said that the draft Bill plugs loopholes in existing laws and brings within its fold additional crimes pertaining to trafficking which don’t find a place in the existing laws. It also envisages creation of a fund for rehabilitation of victims of trafficking, she said. Under the Bill, an institutional mechanism is also sought to be set up to deal with this highly specialized subject which will also include members from Civil Society Organizations, the Minister explained. Since the problem is trans-border with our neighbouring countries, protocols will also be worked out for those trafficked from other countries. Smt Maneka Gandhi also highlighted the major initiatives taken up by the Government to deal with the problem of trafficking and that of missing children including the new Khoya-Paya web portal, unique initiative with Railways, pasting of posters in railway coaches, expansion of Children helpline-Childline 1098 among others

I. Introduction
A. Attention Statement/ Briefly state the problem:
1. Hello and thank you for joining us as we discuss a very important issue for the citizens of California.
2. Briefly state the problem: The LA Times reported on October 11, 2012 that “The new California Report estimated 590,000 human papillomavirus infections, 250,000 trichomoniasis infections, 180,000 cases of chlamydia, and 2,900 HIV infections in California in 2011.” We obviously need to do something to help reduce these rates.
B. That is why I propose that the state of California should legalize prostitution. ”
II. Significance
A. Harm 1: Keeping prostitution illegal hurts the health of Californians.
1. According to the August 1, 2012 New York Times, over half off all sexually transmitted diseases are originally passed through the act of prostitution.
2. Since prostitutes and customers are engaging in an illegal activity, they are less likely to report an STD.
3. Since prostitutes don’t have access to quality healthcare, they are less likely to seek medical attention for an STD and are therefore more likely to pass it on to future customers.
B. Harm 2: The status quo is a drain on resources.
1. Since prostitutes do not have access the adequate healthcare, they must rely on emergency rooms or the anonymity of clinics. This crowds these facilities and costs taxpayers money.
2. Dr. Joe Hamilton, a leading researcher in criminology, explains in the February 2013 Mother Jones, that “ Numerous legal commentators point out that using law enforcement resources against prostitution reduces substantially the resources available to fight serious crimes committed against persons or property. This nation desperately needs more efforts applied to solving those crimes, because arrests are being made in connection with only about 20% of them.”
3. The status quo leads to jail/prison overcrowding. Each time a prostitute or customer is arrested, he or she must spend a minimum of 24 hours in jail and then be presented to a judge. This costs taxpayers money and takes the space in jail that could be used for more violent offenders. It also slows down our judicial system by taking unnecessary time from judges.
III. Inherency
A. Making prostitution illegal was to act as a deterrent, but people still engage in this activity o ...

Dr. Joe Hamilton, a leading researcher in criminology, explains in the February 2013 Mother Jones, that “ Numerous legal commentators point out that using law enforcement resources against prostitution reduces substantially the resources available to fight serious crimes committed against persons or property. This nation desperately needs more efforts applied to solving those crimes, because arrests are being made in connection with only about 20% of them.”
3. The status quo leads to jail/prison overcrowding. Each time a prostitute or customer is arrested, he or she must spend a minimum of 24 hours in jail and then be presented to a judge. This costs taxpayers money and takes the space in jail that could be used for more violent offenders. It also slows down our judicial system by taking unnecessary time from judges.

Public finance involves the collection and spending of government funds through taxes, expenditures, budget preparation, and borrowing. Money is essential for governments to fund activities like education, defense, health, and economic development. The annual budget process involves preparation, legislative approval, and auditing of expenses. Budgets estimate annual income and expenses and aim to encourage wise use of funds. Government revenue comes from taxes on income, property, imports, licenses, fines, fees, foreign loans, and bonds. Strict rules limit taxation to public purposes and require uniform and fair taxes.
The document summarizes reactions to presentations at the Mining Philippines 2018 conference on roadmaps for mining industry development, the potential "resource curse", and the impacts of federalism on natural resource extraction. Key points include:
- The roadmap presented good initiatives but many government agencies create hurdles for mining; an alternative is for government to step back from the mining road.
- Having natural resources is not inherently a curse; lack of rule of law is a bigger problem for development than adding more government bureaucracies through federalism.
- Federalism could expand the government from two to three layers with many new elected officials and agencies, but there are no plans to streamline existing agencies first.
This document summarizes a presentation on China's 13th Five-Year Plan and its impact on foreign direct investment. The main points are:

SC/ST (PoA) Act Monitoring at the state levelOpenSpace
The document outlines the various mechanisms that states must establish to monitor the implementation of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act 1989, including setting up state and district level vigilance and monitoring committees, issuing mandatory notifications, submitting monthly and quarterly reports, and conducting reviews of investigations, prosecutions, and preventive actions. Key requirements include notifying atrocity prone areas, constituting special courts and prosecution panels, submitting investigation and prosecution reports, and reviewing the performance of investigating officers, prosecution, and committees.
- FCPA enforcement by the DOJ and SEC has increased significantly in recent years, with record penalties imposed on corporations from 2002-2010. The Obama administration has prioritized FCPA prosecutions.
- Key elements of an FCPA violation include payments or gifts to foreign officials to influence actions or gain improper advantages, as well as inaccurate record keeping. Criminal penalties include large fines and jail time.
- Voluntary disclosure of FCPA violations and cooperation can result in reduced penalties, but authorities expect disclosure in nearly all cases now. Thorough due diligence is also important for mergers and acquisitions to avoid successor liability.
Anti corruption and integrity - causes and consequenceShamsul Arefin
The presentation plan discusses integrity, corruption, types of corruption, causes and consequences of corruption, and remedial measures. It will define integrity, corruption and discuss types of corruption like systematic, individual, grand and petty. It will also discuss causes like bureaucracy, lack of transparency, and consequences like lower investment and economic growth. Finally, it will discuss remedial measures like anti-corruption laws and policies to address corruption.
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is an intergovernmental organization founded in 1989 that sets global standards and policies to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. The FATF monitors countries' compliance with its recommendations through a peer-review process. It maintains lists of countries, including a gray list for those that are non-compliant but committed to improvement and a black list for high-risk jurisdictions. Pakistan was placed on the gray list in 2018 due to deficiencies in its anti-money laundering/counter-terrorist financing regime and given a deadline of October 2019 to address issues like proscribed groups being able to raise funds.
President Buhari's efforts to curb corruption through recovering stolen funds are commendable but more needs to be done. Implementing an asset repatriation program could help achieve success more efficiently by encouraging the voluntary return of stolen assets from abroad in exchange for amnesty. Such programs have been implemented successfully in other countries and are recognized globally. For Nigeria's program to be effective, it must comply with international anti-money laundering standards and involve cooperation across agencies.
The document discusses the key aspects of the Right to Information Act passed in India in 2005. It outlines the salient features of the act including its goal of maximum disclosure and transparency of information held by public authorities. It defines the right to information and public authority. It describes the responsibilities of Public Information Officers, procedures for information requests, exemptions, penalties for non-compliance, and appellate process.
