A discussion of the use of children combatants in war notes that an estimated 250,000 to 300,000 persons under age 18 are currently taking an active role in armed conflicts. International law designed to protect children in this situation developed in response to the changing nature of warfare & new attitudes toward children as a group. Achievements of the 1924 League of Nations Declaration for the Rights of the Child, the 1939 Save the Children International Union, the International Red Cross, & the Geneva Conventions are pointed out. Participation of children increased when the nature of war shifted toward guerrilla combat. Examination of new protocols prohibiting military recruitment of children that were added to the Geneva Conventions in 1977 contends that the wording left a great deal to the discretion of military leaders, & there was no direct ban on children as spies, gear carriers, or guards. Reasons why children are desirable as combatants are discussed, along with why many children voluntarily become involved in war activities. 4 References. J. Lindroth

Reviews 5 books on the subject. Argues that there is no field in economics where there is such a dichotomy between theory and practice as in international trade. The theory, descended from Ricardo and Adam Smith, emphasises the benefits of unrestricted markets and free exchange, whilst in reality, mercantilism and protection are rampant. (SJK)

The present study discusses the process of organising social work placements in India for two Australian students and presents the students' and the field education coordinator's reflections on practicum experiences in the school and hospital setting. Several steps need to be taken to plan and implement international placements. Undertaking a practicum in another unknown culture is as challenging as it is rewarding. Cross‐cultural comparative dimensions naturally emerge in our thinking, feeling and doing, and help us appreciate what we have in our own country. Learning occurs both within and outside the practicum. Positive mental attitude, psychological make up, an open mind, planning and preparation do help. However, overseas placements have their own quota of surprises. Any student aspiring to undertake an international practicum should be prepared to face some unexpected situations as they unfold. Overall, effective learning did occur and horizons did expand.

While regulatory governance can be theorized as a three-party game in which regulators use intermediaries to influence targets, I show how regulatory intermediaries can, through delegation and orchestration, engage their own "subintermediaries" to increase their capacity for fulfilling their regulatory mandates and their influence on regulators and targets. I elucidate how the International Criminal Court (ICC)—the key intermediary in the regulatory regime for international crimes—has used nongovernmental organizations' (NGOs') advocacy, expertise, and operational capacities to compensate for its limited capabilities. Through NGO intermediaries, the ICC has aimed to increase its ability to prosecute, punish, and thus regulate international crimes; amplify its influence on state regulators and potential perpetrators; and improve the regulation of international crimes overall.

The International Accounting Standards Committee's (IASC) exposure draft on "Comparability of Financial Statements" has increased the awareness of the need for international changes in accounting standards. Since the IASC cannot mandate these changes, the accounting community needs to learn how to communicate, adopt and implement changes. This paper discusses an important aspect of the change process, the change agent. The first part of the paper presents an historical example of an important group of international change agents, the Jewish traders of the Middle Ages and early Renaissance. Parallels are then drawn between the Medieval Jewish traders and modern international accounting firms. Finally, the potential for accounting firms to act as change agents is discussed in the context of concepts from theories of social change.

Contract terms and principles and its loss compensation remedies in international sales conventions of goods and rights of Iran and some countries such as France, Egypt, Lebanon don't have the greatest difference and hasn't seen any major hurdle in the way of Iran to join the Convention. Because of the methods of loss calendar and the conditions of its time and site setting in the Convention is workable in the Rights of Iran. But some of the ways to compensate for damages caused by contract defects that are not predicted in the International Convention such as paying the interest are not accepted in Iranian laws. Compensation for damages arising from the breach of contractual obligations needs to be injured in a position that if the obligation was done under the contract, have been fixed in that situation. In the international commercial contracts, principles of the private law unification institute, this attitude is acceptable and based on this, the theory of full compensation of damage is accepted. In this article, collecting information is done using the library method and going directly to the applied resources and obtained data have been studied using analytical-description method of loss compensation.
