The international community faced a difficult challenge after the Dayton Peace Accords ended the civil war in Bosnia. Free and fair elections became an essential component to establishing a democratic government in the war-torn country. The United Nations and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe responded by carrying out Annex 3 of the Peace Accords, which called for such elections. The resultant election-monitoring mission in Bosnia, however, was unsuccessful The elections were held under improper conditions. Therefore, the Bosnian people lack confidence in the democratic process, which is necessary for long-term democracy.

Several instances of war crimes trials are familiar to all scholars, but in order to advance understanding of the development of international criminal law, it is important to provide a full range of evidence from less-familiar trials. This book therefore provides a comprehensive overview, uncovering and exploring some of the lesser-known war crimes trials that have taken place in a variety of contexts: international and domestic, northern and southern, historic and contemporary. It analyses these trials with a view to recognizing institutional innovations, clarifying doctrinal debates, and identifying their general relevance to contemporary international criminal law. At the same time, the book recognizes international criminal law's history of suppression or sublimation: What stories has the discipline refused to tell? What stories have been displaced by the ones it has told? Has international criminal law's framing or telling of these stories excluded other possibilities? And — perhaps most important of all — how can recovering the lost stories and imagining new narrative forms reconfigure the discipline?

Analysts in the United States fear the unprecedented growth and modernization of China's Navy could lead to problems for the U.S. and its allies, upsetting America's political influence and economic interests in the Southeast Asia maritime region. I argue that China's naval modernization has increased China's political influence—and decreased that of the U.S.—over countries in the China Sea region that do not maintain defense agreements with the United States. Hypotheses from this argument are tested using voting data from United Nations proceedings and naval tonnage data. I find that there is a connection between China's growing Navy and how often countries in the China Sea region have voted in agreement with China (increasing) and the United States (decreasing). Furthermore, it was found that countries in this region with a U.S. military pact acted differently than those that do not maintain such an arrangement, increasing agreement with the United States relative to China. ; China, China's Navy, China's Naval Force, Naval Modernization, China's Naval Modernization, Sea Power, China's Sea Power, China's military, China's growing military, China's military force, influence of sea power, influence of naval force, influence of military power, effects of naval power, effects of military power ; (Brockman, 2014) ; A Thesis submitted to the Department of Political Science in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Honors in the Major. ; Spring Semester, 2014. ; April 17, 2014.

Smokers say that tobacco is one of their favorite food and think it unfair to regulate for them to smoke. But non-smokers argue that tobacco is like a toxic drug and it causes serious harms in terms of public health law. Therefore, around tobacco lawsuit in recent years I will look into the meaning of the tobacco litigation and examine the significance of the tobacco litigation in Korea. In U.S.A. in the early 1950s, the cigarette was a cultural icon. The first tobacco lawsuit was filed in 1954. The first wave of cases was filed principally under theories of negligence, breach of warranty, and misrepresentation. By the time of the second wave of litigation from 1983 to 1992, cigarette smoking was beginning to become a hallmark not of elegance, but of weak character and lower social class. And the third wave did not begin quietly. The tobacco industry faces litigation from individual smokers in the third wave. The most important effect of tobacco litigation was to transform public and political perceptions about risk and responsibility in smoking, making clear what manufacturers knew, how they concealed this knowledge, and how they manipulated consumers. In the end I conclude as follows: State should conserve human rights of her people. Constitution makes clear this point. Tobacco litigations have a much impact on public health law. Manufacturers that produced harmful products in public health might be imposed on product liability or strict liability in tort law. ; open
