INTERNATIONAL IMPARTIAL AND INDEPENDENT MECHANISM FOR MYANMARMYO AUNG Myanmar
The UN established an Independent Investigative Mechanism (IIM) for Myanmar to gather and preserve evidence of crimes against humanity and human rights violations committed since 2011. The IIM aims to support prosecutions in national or international courts. This follows other evidence-gathering bodies like the IIIM for Syria which supports domestic prosecutions. A standing UN investigative body could help operationalize the principle of complementarity and promote comprehensive accountability for international crimes where the ICC lacks jurisdiction. By coordinating with different actors, such a mechanism could play a key role in the global pursuit of justice.
How does Terrorism Effect on Business and Relation Between Countriesijtsrd
The international business or IB is threatened by the indirect and direct effects of terrorism. Since the moment governments have tightened the safety of public sites, the various businesses have turned into exponential attractive targets for terrorist attacks, with vital implications for the performance and operations of the companies that are multinational in nature. Though, substantial studies have been done in different fields about terrorism, less scholarly research has been done on the various challenges which it inflicts upon international business as well as how to address terrorism as a problem.

The program that we offer emphasizes on the effects of organizational preparedness, terrorism, company performance and its strategy, global distribution and global supply channels, as well as the issues pertaining human resource. The review that we render, aid in establishing a baseline that further assists in empirical research in the future.

Terrorism at the XXVI Summer Olympiad
Terrorism
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has taken the broad spectrum of terrorism and divided the types into two areas: domestic terrorism and international terrorism. The definitions for both areas are rather broad in scope. According to Watson, domestic terrorism is defined by the FBI as “the unlawful use, or threatened use, of violence by a group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States (or its territories) without foreign direction” (para. 8). Additionally, the FBI uses the definition of “violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any state, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or any state. Acts are intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policy of a government, or affect the conduct of a government” (para. 9) for their international terrorism category.
Both domestic and international terrorism is rooted in extremist and their ideals and the use of tactics that promote terror to further their agenda. According to Martin (2019), the typical objectives for terrorism are to change the existing order, social disruption, psychological disruption, and creating a revolutionary environment (pp. 10-11).
Eric Rudolph was responsible for the July 27, 1996 bombing during the XXVI Summer Olympiad in Atlanta when he used a nail-laden pipe bomb in Centennial Olympic Park that killed a woman who had driven with her daughter to Atlanta to celebrate the Olympics, and injured over 100 others (History, 2010, para. 1). According to the FBI, the motives behind Rudolph’s attack included his anti-government, anti-gay, and other biases (para. 12).

International Standards to Regulate Aggressive Cyber-behavior from a Foreign ...Mansoor Faridi, CISA
This document discusses the need for international standards to regulate aggressive cyber behavior by foreign states. It provides background on how cyber warfare has become an effective new form of attack that lacks regulation. Current frameworks fail to fully address the issue as they focus on individuals rather than states. The document argues that comprehensive global standards are needed, but developing and implementing them faces challenges that require a collaborative effort between nations. It provides recommendations for a roadmap to establish centralized institutions to design, develop, enforce and prosecute violations of new international cyber standards.

How To Write A Personal Essay For High School WMary Gregory
The passage discusses the neuromuscular junction, where nerves meet muscles, allowing movement. It explains that nerve impulses from the brain travel through motor neurons to muscles. For muscles to contract, nerve impulses cause synaptic knobs to release acetylcholine into the cleft between the nerve and muscle. The acetylcholine then tells muscles to contract. Research on the neuromuscular junction aims to better understand transmission between nerves and muscles and diseases that impair this transmission.

Cyber Espionage: The Silent Crime of Cyberspace
Virginia Greiman
Boston University, Boston, USA
[email protected]
Abstract: In recent years, the disclosure of secrets through cyber infiltration of America’s largest intelligence organization,
the National Security Agency (NSA), has raised the fears of veteran intelligence officials and close allies around the globe that
no institution or government is secure from those who roam the discrete halls of cyberspace. Although espionage has existed
since before the days of the Greek mythological Trojan horse, no one could have envisioned the sophisticated use of
espionage in today’s networked world. Espionage has been used for political and military intelligence and economic and
industrial pursuits with a lack of understanding of all of the impacts on our daily lives. In the context of foreign or international
law, espionage is sometimes characterized as lawless, without controls or regulation, and it rarely distinguishes between
economic and security based cyber espionage. Through empirical analysis this paper explores the treatment of espionage
under various legal systems including those countries and regions considered the most advanced at cyber espionage, the
United States, the United Kingdom, Russia and China. To provide greater insight into the different perspectives of cyber
espionage from a legal standpoint, this paper distinguishes the law of national intelligence collection from the cr ...
Assignment 2 Intelligence and CounterintelligenceBoth domestic an.docxjosephinepaterson7611
Assignment 2: Intelligence and Counterintelligence
Both domestic and international terrorism pose great threats to US citizens, the US economy, and domestic and foreign diplomatic relationships. Counterintelligence (CI) efforts aimed at detecting the activities of both domestic and international terrorists have risen in the years since the September 11 attacks. An entirely new agency, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), was created to prevent the proliferation of terrorist groups and decrease the threat of terrorism.
Even though domestic and international terrorists might have different motivations for committing crimes of terror, threats from both types are considered equally dangerous and have to be continuously monitored to safeguard US citizens and interests.
The intelligence and CI activities utilized by various US government agencies, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the DHS, can be similar or different, depending on factors such as the seriousness of terrorist threats, the specific terror group being monitored, and the immediacy of threats.
Tasks:
Create a 3- to 4-page paper addressing the following:
Describe the similarities and differences in information-gathering techniques used by US law enforcement and intelligence agencies to monitor threats from domestic and international terrorists.
Research and describe differences in policies and regulations that oversee domestic and international intelligence gathering.
The paper should rely upon at least two scholarly resources from the professional literature. The literature may include the Argosy University online library resources; relevant textbooks; peer-reviewed journal articles; and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov).

This week’s forum examines the numerous challenges of combattin.docxherthalearmont
This week’s forum examines the numerous challenges of combatting the narcotics threat. From it, you will understand the difficulty in carrying out operations against drug traffickers. Respond to the following question:
Compare the intelligence function and effectiveness of the U.S. counter-narcotics agencies with that of the narcotics traffickers.
I look forward to your thoughts!
Instructions: Your initial post should be at least 250 words.
Lesson
Challenges to Combating Drug Trafficking
U.S. counter-narcotics efforts have had great successes thanks to effective policies and laws, efficient agency resources and capabilities, increasing cooperation among agencies and countries, and evolving intelligence collection and analysis methods and proficiency. However, these efforts are impeded by the determination of drug traffickers to continue and expand their operations.
Impediments
A primary impediment to successful counter-narcotics efforts is economics. Drug trafficking is profitable – very profitable. Drug traffickers from international DTOs to retail distributors on the street will do what they need to continue operations. When law enforcement finds a successful method of combating traffickers, the DTOs just change their operations (new route or smuggling method, use different chemicals to produce a drug such as meth, change communication methods).
· Consider how much money DTOs must be making that one of their business practices is to burn planes and sink boats and semi-submersibles after they have delivered their drugs. What legitimate business can endure such a large expense?
· DTOs have the resources to engage in counter intelligence on law enforcement activities, which increases the threat to law enforcement as well as facilitates their illicit activity.
· There is persistent high demand for the product. The U.S. demand for illicit drugs remains strong. As long as there are customers to buy the product, the DTOs will find a way to deliver it. This is why a major component of the National Drug Control Strategy addresses demand issues.
DTos have considerable influence in their communities that often enables them to carry out their illicit activities with little obstruction from citizens and often law enforcement.
· Corruption of law enforcement and governmental organizations, particularly in source and transit countries, is a significant problem. DTOs can afford to pay large sums of money ensure cooperation from law enforcement. Moreover, the amount they pay is significantly greater than what an official’s salary. Further, DTOs often threated officials with violence against them and their family, with makes if more difficult to turn down.
· A somewhat unstable world economy, including high-levels of unemployment in many source countries, provides DTOs with a particularly fertile environment from which to recruit individuals willing to take the risks associated with producing and transporting illicit drugs. Further, many indivi ...

INTRODUCTION
In this book, we have explored the IHRM issues relating to managing people globally. To that end, we have focused on the implications that the process of internationalization has for the activities and policies of HRM. We now turn our attention to developments that have not previously been emphasized in the general IHRM literature and the challenges they present to IHRM: international business ethics, mode of operation, nongovernment organizations (NGOs), and the developing role of IHRM in contributing to safety, security and dealing with global terrorism. In a sense, a number of these topics reflect what some Japanese MNEs refer to as the 'general affairs' aspect of IHRM - in Japan it is common to use the term 'Human Resources and General Affairs' for the HR function1 because there is an expectation that the human resource function will be the first line of defense in dealing with unpredictable and emergent issues from the many and varied environments and constituency groups that make up the complexity of MNEs.
In the sections that follow we return to a discussion of some issues that distinguish HRM in MNEs and revisit the framework of strategic HRM in MNEs presented in Chapter 1 - see Figure 10.1. These topics include issues associated with external factors and organizational factors that impact on the HR function and pract ...

The officer insists and takes Patty to a small room in the back of the store. The guard tells Patty that if she attempts to leave the room she will be arrested and sent to jail. At this point, the guard leaves the room. Patty is scared and waits in the room for over an hour until the manager comes in and apologizes and tells Patty that she is free to go.
About this same time, Gerry Golfer is hitting golf balls in his backyard. Gerry decides to break out his new driver and hits a golf ball out of his backyard into the Cash Mart parking lot. The golf ball hits Patty Plaintiff on the head and knocks her unconscious just as she is leaving the store.
Five days later, after recovering from her injuries, Patty returns to work at Acme Corporation. Unfortunately, she used her company email to send her mom a personal email about her injury despite being aware that Acme’s company policy prohibits use of company email for personal communication. Patty’s supervisor, Barry Bossley, discovers Patty’s violation and Patty is reprimanded. When Patty goes home she uses her personal computer to post disparaging comments about her boss and Acme Corporation on social media. The next day Patty is fired from her job.
In a 6-10 paragraph paper, answer the following question: What types of legal claims could Patty make against Cash Mart, Gerry, and Acme Corporation? Consider the following:
What are the possible tort claims that Patty can make against Cash Mart? Discuss the elements of the claim and how those elements relate to the facts in the scenario.
Was Gerry negligent when he hit the golf ball that injured Patty? Discuss the elements of negligence and use facts from the scenario to support your decision.

Terrorism at the XXVI Summer Olympiad
Terrorism
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has taken the broad spectrum of terrorism and divided the types into two areas: domestic terrorism and international terrorism. The definitions for both areas are rather broad in scope. According to Watson, domestic terrorism is defined by the FBI as “the unlawful use, or threatened use, of violence by a group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States (or its territories) without foreign direction” (para. 8). Additionally, the FBI uses the definition of “violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any state, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or any state. Acts are intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policy of a government, or affect the conduct of a government” (para. 9) for their international terrorism category.
Both domestic and international terrorism is rooted in extremist and their ideals and the use of tactics that promote terror to further their agenda. According to Martin (2019), the typical objectives for terrorism are to change the existing order, social disruption, psychological disruption, and creating a revolutionary environment (pp. 10-11).
Eric Rudolph was responsible for the July 27, 1996 bombing during the XXVI Summer Olympiad in Atlanta when he used a nail-laden pipe bomb in Centennial Olympic Park that killed a woman who had driven with her daughter to Atlanta to celebrate the Olympics, and injured over 100 others (History, 2010, para. 1). According to the FBI, the motives behind Rudolph’s attack included his anti-government, anti-gay, and other biases (para. 12).

International Standards to Regulate Aggressive Cyber-behavior from a Foreign ...Mansoor Faridi, CISA
This document discusses the need for international standards to regulate aggressive cyber behavior by foreign states. It provides background on how cyber warfare has become an effective new form of attack that lacks regulation. Current frameworks fail to fully address the issue as they focus on individuals rather than states. The document argues that comprehensive global standards are needed, but developing and implementing them faces challenges that require a collaborative effort between nations. It provides recommendations for a roadmap to establish centralized institutions to design, develop, enforce and prosecute violations of new international cyber standards.

The passage discusses the neuromuscular junction, where nerves meet muscles, allowing movement. It explains that nerve impulses from the brain travel through motor neurons to muscles. For muscles to contract, nerve impulses cause synaptic knobs to release acetylcholine into the cleft between the nerve and muscle. The acetylcholine then tells muscles to contract. Research on the neuromuscular junction aims to better understand transmission between nerves and muscles and diseases that impair this transmission.

Cyber Espionage: The Silent Crime of Cyberspace
Virginia Greiman
Boston University, Boston, USA
[email protected]
Abstract: In recent years, the disclosure of secrets through cyber infiltration of America’s largest intelligence organization,
the National Security Agency (NSA), has raised the fears of veteran intelligence officials and close allies around the globe that
no institution or government is secure from those who roam the discrete halls of cyberspace. Although espionage has existed
since before the days of the Greek mythological Trojan horse, no one could have envisioned the sophisticated use of
espionage in today’s networked world. Espionage has been used for political and military intelligence and economic and
industrial pursuits with a lack of understanding of all of the impacts on our daily lives. In the context of foreign or international
law, espionage is sometimes characterized as lawless, without controls or regulation, and it rarely distinguishes between
economic and security based cyber espionage. Through empirical analysis this paper explores the treatment of espionage
under various legal systems including those countries and regions considered the most advanced at cyber espionage, the
United States, the United Kingdom, Russia and China. To provide greater insight into the different perspectives of cyber
espionage from a legal standpoint, this paper distinguishes the law of national intelligence collection from the cr ...
Assignment 2 Intelligence and CounterintelligenceBoth domestic an.docxjosephinepaterson7611
Assignment 2: Intelligence and Counterintelligence
Both domestic and international terrorism pose great threats to US citizens, the US economy, and domestic and foreign diplomatic relationships. Counterintelligence (CI) efforts aimed at detecting the activities of both domestic and international terrorists have risen in the years since the September 11 attacks. An entirely new agency, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), was created to prevent the proliferation of terrorist groups and decrease the threat of terrorism.
Even though domestic and international terrorists might have different motivations for committing crimes of terror, threats from both types are considered equally dangerous and have to be continuously monitored to safeguard US citizens and interests.
The intelligence and CI activities utilized by various US government agencies, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the DHS, can be similar or different, depending on factors such as the seriousness of terrorist threats, the specific terror group being monitored, and the immediacy of threats.
Tasks:
Create a 3- to 4-page paper addressing the following:
Describe the similarities and differences in information-gathering techniques used by US law enforcement and intelligence agencies to monitor threats from domestic and international terrorists.
Research and describe differences in policies and regulations that oversee domestic and international intelligence gathering.
The paper should rely upon at least two scholarly resources from the professional literature. The literature may include the Argosy University online library resources; relevant textbooks; peer-reviewed journal articles; and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov).

This week’s forum examines the numerous challenges of combattin.docxherthalearmont
This week’s forum examines the numerous challenges of combatting the narcotics threat. From it, you will understand the difficulty in carrying out operations against drug traffickers. Respond to the following question:
Compare the intelligence function and effectiveness of the U.S. counter-narcotics agencies with that of the narcotics traffickers.
I look forward to your thoughts!
Instructions: Your initial post should be at least 250 words.
Lesson
Challenges to Combating Drug Trafficking
U.S. counter-narcotics efforts have had great successes thanks to effective policies and laws, efficient agency resources and capabilities, increasing cooperation among agencies and countries, and evolving intelligence collection and analysis methods and proficiency. However, these efforts are impeded by the determination of drug traffickers to continue and expand their operations.
Impediments
A primary impediment to successful counter-narcotics efforts is economics. Drug trafficking is profitable – very profitable. Drug traffickers from international DTOs to retail distributors on the street will do what they need to continue operations. When law enforcement finds a successful method of combating traffickers, the DTOs just change their operations (new route or smuggling method, use different chemicals to produce a drug such as meth, change communication methods).
· Consider how much money DTOs must be making that one of their business practices is to burn planes and sink boats and semi-submersibles after they have delivered their drugs. What legitimate business can endure such a large expense?
· DTOs have the resources to engage in counter intelligence on law enforcement activities, which increases the threat to law enforcement as well as facilitates their illicit activity.
· There is persistent high demand for the product. The U.S. demand for illicit drugs remains strong. As long as there are customers to buy the product, the DTOs will find a way to deliver it. This is why a major component of the National Drug Control Strategy addresses demand issues.
DTos have considerable influence in their communities that often enables them to carry out their illicit activities with little obstruction from citizens and often law enforcement.
· Corruption of law enforcement and governmental organizations, particularly in source and transit countries, is a significant problem. DTOs can afford to pay large sums of money ensure cooperation from law enforcement. Moreover, the amount they pay is significantly greater than what an official’s salary. Further, DTOs often threated officials with violence against them and their family, with makes if more difficult to turn down.
· A somewhat unstable world economy, including high-levels of unemployment in many source countries, provides DTOs with a particularly fertile environment from which to recruit individuals willing to take the risks associated with producing and transporting illicit drugs. Further, many indivi ...

INTRODUCTION
In this book, we have explored the IHRM issues relating to managing people globally. To that end, we have focused on the implications that the process of internationalization has for the activities and policies of HRM. We now turn our attention to developments that have not previously been emphasized in the general IHRM literature and the challenges they present to IHRM: international business ethics, mode of operation, nongovernment organizations (NGOs), and the developing role of IHRM in contributing to safety, security and dealing with global terrorism. In a sense, a number of these topics reflect what some Japanese MNEs refer to as the 'general affairs' aspect of IHRM - in Japan it is common to use the term 'Human Resources and General Affairs' for the HR function1 because there is an expectation that the human resource function will be the first line of defense in dealing with unpredictable and emergent issues from the many and varied environments and constituency groups that make up the complexity of MNEs.
In the sections that follow we return to a discussion of some issues that distinguish HRM in MNEs and revisit the framework of strategic HRM in MNEs presented in Chapter 1 - see Figure 10.1. These topics include issues associated with external factors and organizational factors that impact on the HR function and pract ...

Course Description
The line dividing legitimate international business activities and illicit conduct is
becoming increasingly blurred. The organizations typically invo lved in facilitating
legitimate international commerce (law firms, accounting firms and banks) are
increasingly assisting corrupt regimes, and international crime groups. Many
1
2. governments and international organizations regardtransnational organized crime
(including terrorism) as posing the principal national security threat of the 21st
Century.
This course will examine both the institutional and legal framework for combating
this threat. Some of the topics to be addressed include (i) domestic law (e.g. RICO)
and governmental structures for combating corruption, human trafficking, narcotics
(cultivation and distribution), tax evasion through the use of offshore tax havens, and
illegal weapons exports; (ii) the role of international institutions and instruments in
this area, and (iii) how private service providers (accounting firms, law firms and
banks) aggravate the situation.
There will be no examinations in this class. Rather students will research, brief and
prepare terms papers (approved in advance by the professor) related to the subject
matter of the course.
Prior to submitting their papers, students will have an opportunity to submit a draft,
which the professor will review and provide comments in strike and underline format.
Students whose first language is not English are especially encouraged to take
advantage of this offer.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The goal of the course is to help students to understand current trends in international
economic crime, the U.S. and multi-national law and institutions to combat it, and the
hurdles to achieving a more effective policy. The course will provide the students an
opportunity to improve their ability to write analytical memos and succinctly “brief” topics
to policymakers and judges.
PREREQUISITES
Prior course work in private or public international law, criminal law, or international
organizations is expected. Professional experience will usually be acceptable in lieu of
formal law school study. Note the word “or” – students need not have a detailed
knowledge of each area, but should have an appreciation of at least one of aforementioned
areas of the law so that classroom discussions will reflect a range of ideas and knowledge.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS
The course requirements are:
Staying current in the course readings – we only meet once a week, so students
are expected to be prepared. If a student will not be in class, the student should
notify the professor of that fact and the student will prepare a 2-3 page
summary (double spaced) of at least one of the issues discussed in the readings
assigned for that class. This short paper is due within two class of the
scheduled class session.
2
3. All students shall meet in person or communicate by telephone with the
professor at pre-arranged times at least twice during the semester to provide
feedback on the course to date and their progress in selecting a paper topic,
should the student opt for the paper as opposed to the exam option. The first of
such meetings shall occur not later than after the fourth class session. The
second of such meetings shall occur not later than after the eighth class session.
Preparation of Research Papers -- Students are to research and write a 15-18
page paper (single spaced) covering subjects such as: (i) international white-
collar crime in the banking, securities or commodities trading sectors, (ii) illegal
weapons export (including components of weapons of mass destruction) – the
roles of the producers, governments/international organizations, and criminal or
terrorist group, (iii) the legal status mercenaries when used by private
companies for security purposes, separatists and national governments under
international law, (iv) trafficking in women and children, (v) instances of
criminal groups have taken over portions of or entire countries, (vi) the
interplay between criminal and nationalistic groups, (vii) criticisms of how
national legislation may hinder international law enforcement, or (viii) the
subordination of a country’s law enforcement objectives to other foreign policy
goals. Please Note that students need not restrict themselves to seminar paper
topics involving the aforementioned countries. References should be in Blue
Book format.
OR
As an alternative to writing a Research Paper, students at their option may
choose to take a take-home Exam. The exam will be in essay format. The
Exam will NOT be a traditional law school exam. It will be more analytical
and ask students for policy recommendations or react to statements.
COURSE MATERIALS AND READINGS
In addition to the assigned readings, the professor will sometimes distribute materials in
class for discussion purposes, tying the assigned readings to current events.1 All required
readings will be on reserve at the William Bennett Library.
Students will use Internet sources to prepare for class and for assistance in selecting their
paper topics. With respect to U.S-centric or broad international topics, I would recommend
that students visit the following web sites: the Egmont Group at
http://www.egmontgrou p.org/; the Financial Activities Task Force on Money Laundering
1
All papers should have the following organization: introduction [short statement of the issue examined],
background [context for understanding the topic – where appropriate use charts and other graphics],
methodology [what sources you are using and why, did you experience problems with obtaining relevant
information/data and is such information/data reliable], discussion [presentation of facts, data, discussion of
likely future developments, your observations/analysis], and conclusion [what have you learned and what
should a reader remember if s/he wants to look at this topic in the future?]. Of course, students may use a
less structured format if they feel it to be more suitable.

have merely scratched the surface of that which is available on the web. In addition, this
course does not make use of ANY reported decisions in the money laundering area.
Students will probably want to look at cases in this area in the course of researching their
papers or preparing for classroom discussion.
There are numerous law and business journals, as well as non-academic business
magazines, which will contain relevant news stories and be a source of ideas for seminar
topics including: The International Lawyer (published by the American Bar Association’s
International Law and Practice Section), Journal of World Business, BusinessWeek, the
Economist, Fortune Magazine, and International and Comparative Corporate Law Journal
(published by Kluwer Academic Publishers).
To help them in the selection of their seminar paper topics, students are encouraged to skim
The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times’ Business Section, and The [London]
Financial Times. For example, in the October 11, 2006 issue of The Financial Times (at 8),
there is an article about password stealing software by organized crime that permits them
“steal data and make money.” Cybercrime is a major priority of law enforcement in most
developed countries,
During the semester, I hope to have one or two guest speakers who works in this area who
will speak for part of the session.
BASIS OF COURSE GRADE
The student’s grade will be determined as follows:
-- 25% for class participation (classroom discussions of readings); and
-- 75% for the term paper (and presentation) OR TAKE HOME EXAM.

htm-- note that this document was prepared in 1999.
Classroom discussion: From a prosecutorial standpoint, are the Federal Criminal RICO
laws sufficient to deal with organized criminal groups? Is its extra-territorial nature
sufficient to offset the possible obstacles to obtaining the cooperation of foreign law
enforcement. Are the models for organized crime groups appropriate for understanding
terrorist organizations?
PLEASE NOTE THAT STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO FINALIZE
THEIR TOPICS FOR THEIR PAPERS PRIOR TO THIS CLASS. IT IS
ADVISABLE FOR EACH STUDENT TO PREPARE AN OUTLINE FOR
THEIR PAPER AS WELL AS A WRITEN DISCUSSION OF THE
METHODOLOGY AND SOURCES THEY WILL USE FOR FULFILLING
THEIR RESEARCH PLANS. STUDENTS ARE ADVISED TO ARRANGE
MEETINGS WITH THE PROFESSOR TO DISCUSS THEIR PLANS A WEEK

o
ectors/arms_trade but other portions of website contains information on
this topic.
Classroom Discussion: Do the U.N. Procedures combined with domestic legislation
provide an adequate legal framework to address illegal weapons exports? Other than
exposing illegal or unethical conduct, what can a non-governmental organization like
Transparency International accomplish in this area? What are the implications for
controlling the sale of weapons of mass destruction?
8
9. VIII. Enforcement and Effectiveness of Anti-Laundering Policy -- (Class
Session 11) <April 15, 2008>.
a) Report of the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, “Money
Laundering and Foreign Corruption Enforcementand the Effectiveness of the
Patriot Act,” 108th Congress, Second Session, July 15, 2004, S. Hrg. 108-633
available at http://www.senate.gov/~govt-aff/_files/ACF5F8.pdf (Read Chapters I-
V, 1-6 at 1-37 and skim remainder, Chapters VI-VIII at 28-113.
Classroom Discussion: These hearings are very lengthy, but they will give us a
chance to see how illegal activity was conducted by Saudi Arabia, Equatorial Guinea and
Riggs Bank in Washington D.C. Students are expected to take notes on those portions of
the document of greatest interest for the purposes of discussion. It illustrates the
interaction of “dirty money,” corruption, and how legitimate businesses facilitate illegal
activity.
IX. Cynical Observations Solution -- (Session 12) <April 22, 2008>.
All students are to skim Reflections, Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4 5, 7, 8, and 11 (skim)
(On reserve).
Classroom Discussion: Query whether “we” are the enemy in the war on drugs. Crime
can be divided into two types: absolute and relativistic. Absolute crimes are prohibited
everywhere. It is illegal to murder a person or burn down his house. At the same time
vodka is banned in Saudi Arabia and legal in Russia. One can buy hashish in many
Islamic countries, but trying to obtain some in the U.S. will land you in jail. Western
Europeans complain that the U.S. has nearly criminalized smoking. Are the costs for
countering drug efforts too great to sustain? Is the law enforcement bureaucracy too
entrenched to change things? Does the fact that some terrorist groups may finance their
activity through the sale of drugs justify existing policies?
X. Student Presentations and Wrap-up – (Session 13) <April 29, 2008>.
The students will make 5 minute power point presentations covering the main points of
their papers. Students opting for the take-home exam option need not make a Powerpoint
Presentation. In addition to asking questions challenging some of the student’s thesis,
methodology, or conclusions, all students not presenting should make suggestions
concerning possible additional sources of information or other improvements.

10. How to Skim Materials for this Course – But Do Not Skim This
by Ethan S. Burger, Adjunct Associate Professor
Georgetown University Law Center
A former Vice President for International Business Development
for IBM once told me that if he merely read his mail (much less
answered it), he could never accomplish the tasks necessary for
him to do his job properly. In recent days, the situation has
only worsened with meaningless ruminations, worthless
information, advertisements, announcements, and occasionally
vital messages sent by e-mail.
This course seemingly has a very demanding reading list. This is
both true and false simultaneously (consistency is the hobgoblin
of little minds). Much of what appears in the syllabus is to be
skimmed. What does this mean? The better question is what does
this mean to the person who gives out the grade in this class and
has the responsibility to make this class something worth trying
hard to do well in.
Skimming means different things to different people and almost
always is contextually dependent. For the purpose of this
course, let me tell you what I mean by skimming. With respect to
a book, it means to me reading the introduction, first and last
chapters as well as the first page and final page (section) of
each individual chapter. It means GLANCING at the rest of the
chapter and only reading what interests YOU. Always read the
table of contents and glance at the index as well.2
With respect to a chapter or an article, read the first and last
sections. Read the first paragraph under each subhead and if
there are diagrams or charts look at them so you know why they
were included. If the chapter interests you, read it more
carefully.
Remember – there is no test in this course. The primary point of
most of the reading is to provide context – not to provide you
with facts. Most facts you don’t need to memorize – this is not
trigonometry (a totally worthless subject for 99.99% of the world
to study), but you may have to refer to them at some point. The
second point is to help you develop a topic that YOU want to
research for your term paper and class presentation.
It is my hope and expectation that the reading in this course can
be done in 3-5 hours each week. Remember, once you have selected
your topic for your term paper and prepared for the negotiation
2
What about footnotes? I often find footnotes more interesting than the text. They
often show whether the author has the language ability to be working in the field, it
allows one to assess whether s/he has facts to support his/her argument and finally,
whether the work is original or derivative. An author may be more willing to go out on a
limb in the footnotes than the text. As a general rule, treat footnotes the same way you
treat the regular text.
10
11. simulations (which will be discussed in class), the importance of
the reading declines. That being said, all the materials have
been selected for a purpose. I hope this sheet is helpful – try
pinning me down if you have any questions.
