The crimes committed by UN peacekeepers in Africa: a reflection on jurisdictional and accountability issuesKalwahali, Kakule 27 June 2013 (has links)
This thesis investigates both substantive and procedural issues pertaining to allegations of crimes committed by UN peacekeepers in three African countries, Somalia, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Under the current UN Model Status-of-Forces Agreements, criminal jurisdiction over peacekeepers rests with their sending States. However, although the UN has no criminal jurisdiction, it has been the Office of Internal Oversight Services that has conducted investigations. It is argued that every Status of Force Agreement and every Memorandum of Understanding should contain specific clauses obligating Troop-Contributing Countries to prosecute and the UN to follow-up.
If rape, murder, assault, and any other crimes by UN peacekeepers go unpunished, the message sent to the victims is that peacekeepers are above the law. Rape is the most commonly committed crime by peacekeepers, but is usually considered as an isolated act. The procedural issue of prosecuting peacekeepers is investigated in order to establish whether troops can be caught under the ambits of the criminal law of the Host State to hold UN troops criminally accountable for their acts. The laws relative to the elements of each crime and the possible available defences under the three Host States, and the criminal law of South Africa as a Troop-Contributing Country, are discussed. The apparent lack of prosecution is investigated and existing cases of prosecution discussed. Alternatives to the unwillingness by States with criminal jurisdiction under the Status of Forces Agreement or under the Memorandum of Understanding are considered. Considering the current rules related to crimes committed by peacekeepers, the argument put forward is that crimes by peacekeepers must be dealt with completely and transparently though a Convention aiming at barring Troop-Contributing Countries who do not meet their obligations under international law from participating in future operations of peace.
This thesis, furthermore, suggests a tripartite court mechanism to fill the lacunae in the law relating to the prosecution of peacekeepers. It considers the issues of reserving jurisdiction over peacekeepers to the Troop-Contributing Countries which are reluctant to prosecute repatriated alleged perpetrators. The victims’ importance in criminal proceedings and their their right to a remedy are highlighted. / Criminal & Procedural Law / LL.D.

La légitimité de l'État du port de contrôler la navigabilité des naviresLe Borgne, François 04 1900 (has links)
"Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures En vue de l'obtention du grade de maître en droit Option droit des affaires" / La légitimité de l'État du port de contrôler la navigabilité des navires s'appuie, en outre, sur les
difficultés que rencontrent les propriétaires de navire, les États du pavillon ainsi que les
sociétés de classification de faire respecter les normes de sécurité internationales. Par ailleurs,
l'État du port s'est imposé comme intervenant grâce à des assises légales notamment par son
statut recoupant celui de l'État côtier, par sa reconnaissance dans les conventions
internationales ainsi que par la mise en place de mémorandums d'entente régionaux. Enfm,
l'impact du contrôle par l'État du port peut constituer la justification de son avènement. Cet
impact peut être analysé par une étude quantitative, par une appréciation de l'opinion des
professionnels du milieu, el: enfin, par une analyse des implications légales de ce contrôle en
droit privé notamment sur les contrats de transport, d'affrètement et de vente de navire. / The legitimicy of Port State control is based on difficulties which ship owners, Flag States and
classification societies meet in their control of security standards of ships. Further, the port
State has imposed itself as a new maritime player based on different legal basis such as its
Coastal States status, its recognition through international conventions and by the mechanisms
put in place by regional Memorandums of Understanding. In the end, the impact of the Port
State control can justify its advent. The measure of this impact is based on quantitative
studies, on assessment of professionnal opinions and also on the analysis of the legal
implications of this control in contracts of carriage by sea, charter- party, and contracts for the
sale and purchase of vessels.

Transnational Private Authority in Education Policy: A Case Study of Microsoft Corporation in Jordan and South AfricaBhanji, Zahra 25 February 2010 (has links)
This thesis presents a case study of Microsoft Corporation’s Partners in Learning (PiL) program, an example of transnational policy authority in education, with two embedded case studies of PiL in Jordan and South Africa. The constructivist and rationalist approaches highlight the changing nature of governance through the cultural and strategic shifts that led to Microsoft’s policy role in education.
Microsoft’s strategic profit interests and its corporate-social-responsibility aspiration to play a policy role in education influenced its educational footprint. From a top-down perspective, Microsoft used supranational forms of power by implementing its global PiL blueprint through similar PiL programs worldwide. From a bottom-up perspective, Microsoft used “localization practices” by engaging different subnational agents and used different strategies to gain footholds in two very different political and policy contexts. Microsoft’s top-down and bottom-up approaches link the supranational policy arena to the subnational or subgovernmental.
Microsoft’s economic power and strategic engagement gave it entry into education. It gained expert authority from its extensive history and experience in education. Its expert authority was experessed through strategic relationship building through diplomacy and partnerships, policy networks, and the sharing of best practices. The company was however not able to claim absolute legitimacy because of resistance in both countries.
This thesis highlights that at the governmental level, sovereignty does not disappear when transnational corporations become involved in education at the national level. Instead, nation- states become strategic sites for the restructuring of global policy roles. The Jordanian government became a public facilitator, by working with Microsoft to implement a stand-alone PiL program. The South African government became a public integrator, by implementing the PiL program within government policies and programs. Power was also redistributed within both countries, moving away from government education officials towards the monarchy in Jordan and the presidency in South Africa.
The findings of the study highlight the need for corporations engaged in public education to be governed within instituted accountability measures, for appropriate partnership frameworks, and for governance tools that can both effectively engage companies in education and ensure that they work within common goals and values set out by international education organizations.

銀行聯合貸款業務之經營模式與策略研究-以台灣聯貸市場為例 / The Study of Banking Business Model and Strategy about Syndicated Loan Product – in Taiwan Syndication Market葉美華, Yeh, Mei-Hua Unknown Date (has links)
政府在1990年開放新銀行申請設立、1991年共核准通過15家新銀行籌設，國內銀行自此即進入百家爭鳴的時代，各家銀行惡性競爭的結果，除了利差不斷降低外，授信品質亦不斷惡化，各銀行資本報酬率直直落，為求生存，遂絞盡腦汁不斷推出各種新型商品以促進客戶擴大信用；聯合貸款業務亦不例外，各銀行有鑑於傳統企業授信漸不能達到應有績效之際，紛紛著重於聯貸業務，於是業務競爭日趨白熱化，如何設計符合貸款企業期望的授信方案，是各銀行贏得聯合授信主辦權的重要課題。
因此，企業如何選擇聯合貸款主辦行之影響因素，是各銀行放款經理人亟盼了解的經營知識，而根據這些關鍵影響因素，各銀行為爭取主辦權所擬定的各項經營模式與策略，即是足以決定聯合貸款業務在各銀行未來之發展情形與定位，甚而決定其在聯貸市場所扮演之角色與市場佔有率。
有鑑於此，本研究主要以銀行端的角色來探討各銀行針對聯合貸款業務所為之相關措施及其後續之影響結果，並針對國內主要聯貸銀行做個案分析，以了解各銀行所採取的策略及經營方針。
