Since 2003, Darfur has lost nearly half of its six million inhabitants. As many as 500,000 people have been slaughtered, 2.2 million have been displaced, and an untold number have been savagely raped—all victims of a brutal five-year genocide orchestrated by the Sudanese government. The women of Darfur have borne the brunt of the violence: constantly targeted for rape, left physically and emotionally broken. The use of rape as a weapon of war should have shocked the conscience of the world, but we have failed to act, and instead have allowed the women of Darfur to be victimized repeatedly. This note argues that the international community must take two steps to save the women of Darfur: (1) continue criminal prosecutions of those responsible for the genocide in the International Criminal Court and (2) immediately undertake humanitarian solutions in Darfur, including aid disbursement, reparations, military intervention, and political pressure. It is only by combining legal and restorative solutions that the forgotten women of Darfur will truly receive justice.

Laos in 2007 unveiled new infrastructure linking the landlocked country with its neighbors. Just as Laos seeks to exploit its ample natural riches, so the country reinvents its sense of regional integration.

Scholars have recently focused on the debates of the Spanish Constitution of 1812. However the relationship between these & the language of Natural Jurisprudence has not been taken into account. Natural Law theories were transformed in a significant manner during 17th Century & this process took place all over the Western world. This essay brings together recent works on other Natural Law traditions & new approaches from Intellectual & Conceptual History to provide a new perspective not only on the issue of the language in general, but also on the particular theory developed in 1812. Adapted from the source document.
