State responsibility in international law
State responsibility arises under international law when a state commits an internationally wrongful act. For a state to be responsible, the wrongful conduct must be attributable to the state and constitute a breach of an international obligation. Conduct is attributable to a state if it is committed by state organs or other entities acting under the state's direction or control. Even ultra vires conduct or actions of private individuals can be attributable. A state breaches its obligations by failing to act in accordance with customary international law, treaties, or judicial decisions. Examples of when states have been found responsible include failing to prevent or warn of dangers in territorial waters and denying justice to foreign citizens.
Extradition ppt
This document discusses the principles and processes of extradition. It provides examples of extradition cases involving Jose Maria Sison and Charlie "Atong" Ang. Extradition involves the formal transfer of an accused or convicted person between states. Key principles that must be followed include double criminality, where the act is illegal in both jurisdictions, and specialty, where the extradited person can only be tried for the offenses specified in the extradition request. The document also discusses political exceptions and requirements for extradition treaties between states.
Ch 9 White Collar and Organized Crime
This document provides an overview of white-collar crimes and organized crime. It defines white-collar crimes as typically nonviolent offenses committed by people from middle and upper socioeconomic classes through deceit and fraud to obtain money or benefits. Examples include identity theft, computer fraud, tax fraud, and money laundering. Federal and state laws criminalize many of these offenses. The document also discusses organized crime and laws targeting racketeering like the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.
Law of Extradition in India
The document discusses India's extradition laws and its extradition treaty with the United States. It defines extradition as the process where one state surrenders a person accused or convicted of a crime to another state. India's Extradition Act of 1962 governs extradition and extradition treaties. For extradition, the requesting state must make a requisition to India providing evidence of an extraditable crime. If a magistrate finds a prima facie case, the fugitive can be committed to prison and later surrendered. The India-US extradition treaty lists extraditable offenses and exceptions. It also allows for temporary surrender of a fugitive to stand trial in the requesting state.

Crimes Against Humanity
Charles Ble Goude, a Ivorian politician, was issued an arrest warrant by the ICC for alleged crimes against humanity during post-election violence in Ivory Coast in 2010 that killed 3,000 people. He was arrested in Ghana in 2013 after hiding for 18 months and denying the charges. However, the ICC maintains he should stand trial to defend himself against the serious allegations.
Fa qs on martial law claims in power point
The document provides frequently asked questions regarding the filing of claims under Republic Act 10368, also known as the Human Rights Victims Reparation and Recognition Act of 2013.
The key points covered include: who can apply for claims, the types of human rights violations covered between September 21, 1972 to February 25, 1986, where and when to file applications, required documents, the application and evaluation process, and target date for distribution of monetary reparations. Penalties are also outlined for prohibited acts such as filing fraudulent claims or misuse of reparation funds.
Extradition ppt
The document discusses key principles of extradition including double criminality, specialty, and political exceptions. It provides examples of the extradition of Atong Ang from the US to the Philippines to face plunder charges and the arrest of Jose Maria Sison in the Netherlands for his involvement in assassinations in the Philippines. Due to the lack of an extradition treaty, the Philippine government will wait for the Dutch resolution of Sison's case before seeking his return.
FindLaw | Justice Department Explains Legal Basis for Detaining Guantamo Bay ...
This document outlines the US government's position on its authority to detain individuals held at Guantanamo Bay under the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). It argues that under the AUMF and principles of the laws of war, the President has authority to detain: 1) those who planned or aided the 9/11 attacks; 2) those who were part of al-Qaeda or Taliban forces or substantially supported them; and 3) those associated with forces engaged in hostilities against the US or its allies. It acknowledges some terms require case-by-case analysis but maintains detention authority is informed by international law on armed conflict.
Bill of Rights
The document outlines various rights protected by the Philippine Constitution. It discusses the inherent powers of the state including police power, eminent domain, and taxation. It also categorizes rights as natural rights, constitutional rights, and statutory rights. The document then describes different types of constitutional rights and enumerates specific rights of citizens such as the right to life, liberty, property, equal protection, and privacy. It provides details on rights of the accused such as due process, bail, speedy trial, and right against self-incrimination.
International Humanitarian Law Lecture 12 - Non International Armed Conflict
This presentation explains the meaning and the concept of the Non International Armed Conflicts (NIAC) along with its applications in IHL. It describes the features and causes of the same.
Presentation1
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.
Ali Swee- Pardon power
The document discusses the president's pardon power as outlined in the Constitution and analyzes whether a president can pardon himself or members of his administration. It examines the framers' intent, English common law origins, Supreme Court precedent, and historical uses of pardons. While no president has tried a self-pardon, scholars debate whether it would be constitutionally permissible or not. A self-pardon could be an admission of guilt but may not preclude impeachment and criminal liability. Presidents have broadly pardoned members of their administration, which raises similar constitutional questions. Ultimately, there is no definitive answer since the Supreme Court has yet to rule on these issues.
Ch 8 Property Crimes
This chapter discusses property crimes and their evolution. It covers common law definitions of larceny, forgery, robbery and burglary. It also discusses modern statutes that have expanded these offenses. For example, most states grade theft offenses based on the value of stolen property. Additionally, computer crimes and identity theft are now included as property offenses.
Legal regulation on the use of force
The document summarizes the legal regulation of the use of force under international law. It discusses the basic rule prohibiting the use of force under Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, with exceptions for self-defense and Security Council enforcement actions. It examines debates around the interpretation of Article 2(4) and the requirements for a lawful use of force in self-defense, including that an armed attack must be in progress, the defense must be necessary and proportionate. It also discusses controversial uses of force like anticipatory self-defense and claims of self-defense against terrorist attacks.

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.
Ch 11 Public Health and Environment
This chapter discusses various offenses against public health and the environment, including historical background on how these laws developed in response to changing needs. It provides examples of key federal environmental statutes like the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and others, which establish regulations and criminal penalties for violations. The chapter also examines state and local laws regarding issues like littering, zoning, noise pollution, and their enforcement.
Ch 13 Offenses Against Justice & Public Admin
The document discusses various offenses against justice and public administration. It covers common law misdemeanors such as bribery, perjury, resisting arrest, obstruction of justice, compounding a crime, escape, and contempt. It also examines modern statutes that have expanded on these offenses. Bribery statutes now cover influencing any public official, not just those related to justice. Perjury requires knowingly making a false statement under oath that is material to the matter. Obstruction of justice encompasses any acts that impede police or justice.
2) international law and the use of force by states
This document provides notes on international law regarding the use of force by states. It discusses the prohibition on the use of force under the UN Charter and customary international law, with limited exceptions for self-defense and UN-authorized actions. It examines key cases like Nicaragua v. US that helped establish the restrictive interpretation of self-defense. While unilateral humanitarian intervention is generally prohibited, collective action authorized by the UN Security Council under Chapter VII is allowed. The principles of non-intervention and necessity/proportionality in self-defense are also summarized.
Jones v Saudi Arabia - summary
1. The document summarizes a discussion on the UK House of Lords decision in the Jones v. Saudi Arabia case regarding state immunity.
2. The Lords upheld state immunity and immunity for individual state officials for torture committed outside the UK, finding no conflict between immunity rules and international rules prohibiting torture.
3. The Lords rejected arguments that universal civil jurisdiction over torture is required by international law in the same way as universal criminal jurisdiction.
Lesson 7 state responsibility organ of state 1
1. State responsibility occurs when a state commits an internationally wrongful act, such as violating a treaty obligation or failing to meet international standards in treating foreign nationals.
2. For a state to be responsible, the conduct must be attributable to the state under international law and constitute a breach of the state's international obligations. Conduct of state organs like the military or police is attributable to the state.
3. A state can also be responsible for failing to prevent harmful acts by private individuals, such as if the state did not take reasonable care to provide protection to foreign nationals.
What is intervention and when it is permitted under international law
Intervention is defined as dictatorial interference by one state in the affairs of another state. It generally violates the principle of non-intervention, but international law allows for exceptions including self-defense and collective actions authorized by the UN Security Council. Intervention can involve force (military intervention) or influence without force (diplomatic intervention). Historically other grounds were used to justify intervention such as humanitarianism or enforcing treaty rights, but the UN Charter now prohibits all uses of force or threats of force by states against other states.
International Humanitarian Law Lecture 6 - Core Principles of IHL
This lecture lays down the application and the practice of International Humanitarian Law also known as Law of Armed Conflicts (LOAC). It gives a detailed explanation of the core principles of IHL.
Reparation for torture in International Law
This document discusses the UK House of Lords' ruling in Jones v Saudi Arabia, which found that state immunity blocked civil claims against Saudi Arabia and officials for torture of British citizens in Saudi Arabia.
The ruling has implications for torture survivors' ability to obtain justice and reparations. While torture is universally condemned, the ruling shows a lack of practical remedies for survivors. The document analyzes arguments around state immunity principles and their relationship to obligations to provide civil remedies for torture under the UN Convention Against Torture. It also discusses debates around interpreting Article 14 and whether it requires states to provide remedies for extraterritorial torture.
Public International Law - State Responsibility
State responsibility refers to the liability of a state under international law for breaches of its obligations. There are three key elements of state responsibility: (1) the existence of an international legal obligation between states, (2) a wrongful act or omission that breaches that obligation, and (3) resulting loss or damage. Conduct is attributable to a state if it is by state organs, persons exercising government authority, persons directed or controlled by the state, or if the state acknowledges and adopts the conduct. Breach occurs when a state fails to act in accordance with its obligations. Defences against responsibility include consent, self-defense, countermeasures, force majeure, distress, and necessity. Legal consequences for wrong

02 - Founding and the Constitution
The document discusses the founding of the United States government, including the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and U.S. Constitution. It notes that the Articles of Confederation gave too much power to state governments and too little to the federal government, which led to the drafting of the Constitution. The Constitution established a system of separation of powers and checks and balances to distribute federal power. It also discusses compromises made at the Constitutional Convention, such as the Connecticut Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise. The first ten amendments of the Bill of Rights were added to explicitly protect individual liberties.

Wake Up and See The World as the Greatest Accomplishment of Truth
In 1913, control of money creation in the US was transferred from Congress to a private banking cartel called the Federal Reserve. However, the Federal Reserve is neither federal nor holds reserves, but is rather a privately owned monopoly that controls America's money supply. Several US presidents including Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt warned of the dangers of allowing private banks to control the country's currency. Despite these warnings, Woodrow Wilson signed the 1913 Federal Reserve Act and later regretted the decision, stating it had "unwittingly ruined my country." Nearly a century later, the warnings against centralizing control of the money supply remain relevant.

Lesson 1, Part 1: Foundations of American Government
"Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth."
-George Washington
· The Declaration of Independence
· The U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights
· The Enlightenment and Political Philosophy
Expected Outcomes
To understand the philosophical principles behind the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and how these principles influence the structure and process of government.
Overview
The United States, as a nation, was born of the American Revolution of 1776. This revolution cut the political ties between England and its American colonies. Many "Americans" living in the colonies had complained about harsh British rule. King George of England had ruled over the colonies with a heavy hand, increasing taxes with the Stamp Act and the Sugar Act, for example. These abuses began to divide the "patriots" in favor of independence and the "loyalists" in favor of the English Crown.
Tensions between the American colonials and British soldiers boiled over in the Boston Massacre, when a mob harassed British soldiers, who then fired their muskets into the crowd, killing three, mortally wounding two others, and injuring six.
Another famous incident which helped inspire the American Revolution was the Boston Tea Party of 1773, launched as a protest to the British Tea Act. This Act gave the British East India Company a tea monopoly, shutting out American traders. Bostonians disguised themselves as Mohawk Indians, then boarded the British ships and dumped all 342 containers of tea into the harbor.
Two years later, in 1775, there were more serious conflicts between colonials and British troops: the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the prelude for a full conflict. The American Revolutionary War was long, bloody and ended with the French-assisted victory of the American Continental Army in Yorktown in 1781.
An understanding of American government and politics should consider two documents related to this war and its aftermath. The first is the Declaration of Independence, which launched the American Revolutionary War; and the second is the U.S. Constitution, which replaced the post-war Articles of Confederation and which remains the highest law of the land.
This lesson analyzes these documents, noting how they were part of a trans-Atlantic Enlightenment movement with emphasis on reason, freethinking, natural law, popular sovereignty, and human equality. Many of these ideas are visible in the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson. These ideas provided the ideological and philosophical framework for the American Revolution.
After the expulsion of the English monarchy, the Articles of Confederation - in effect from 1776 to 1787 - turned the former colonies into largely autonomous states with a weak federal government. However, many people thought that this decentralized system did not solve the problem of providing for a common defense or for ...
White7e ppt ch16
This document discusses the challenges of balancing homeland security and civil liberties. It covers debates around increasing executive power and limiting civil liberties through laws like the Patriot Act. While security is important, critics argue that overreaching can undermine constitutional rights. The role of law enforcement in intelligence gathering is also discussed, with concerns that it could shift police focus from traditional crime fighting. Maintaining appropriate roles and preventing undue militarization of police are key issues explored in relation to protecting both security and civil liberties.
Icwa Consequences
The Indian Child Welfare Act aimed to prevent the breakup of Native American families and support Native American culture. However, its implementation has had unintended consequences. In South Dakota, some claim the law is still being violated as hundreds of Native American children continue to be removed from their families each year despite ICWA. This has devastated and frustrated many Native American families in South Dakota who feel the government is not upholding the protections of the law.

The document discusses preparations by authorities in the US for potential civil unrest. It notes that stirring unrest has long been a tactic used by global banking elites to loot nations and seize control of their assets. The US remains a key target for this strategy. Evidence of preparations in the US include passage of laws allowing indefinite detention of citizens, aggressive prosecution of whistleblowers, government spying on social media to monitor signs of unrest, and construction of huge spy centers to monitor communications. The trend suggests authorities are readying to exploit social unrest to further financial interests, using a tested method of destabilization.
