LLRX -- Guide to International Refugee Law Resources on the Web Human rights treaties are therefore effective tools to use in the international protection of refugees, particularly the 1984 Convention against Torture, which provides for the principle of non-refoulement in Article 3. Elsewhere, the 1969 American Convention on Human Rights promotes the right to seek and be granted asylum in Article 22(7). Similarly, prohibitions against torture in the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Article 5) and the 1950 European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (Article 3) have been invoked to protect refugees from being refouled. www.llrx.com /features/refugee.htm   (1969 words)

Gary Becker Gary Becker's most noteworthy contribution is perhaps to be found in the area of human capital, i.e., human competence, and the consequences of investments in human competence. Becker was awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1992 for "having extended the domain of microeconomic analysis to a wide range of human behavior and interaction, including nonmarket behavior.” His work includes seminal articles on the economics of discrimination, crime, family, drugs, and social interaction. Parents are assumed to have preferences regarding both the number and educational level of their children, where the educational level is affected by the amount of time and other resources that parents spend on their children. www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org /jsource/biography/becker.html   (1945 words)

JVER Volume 27 Number 1 - Arthur M. Harkins It is about the potential role of CTE leadership in developing and testing a human capital paradigm that leaves repetitious performance and information storage to machines even as it provides new and saved resources for the growth of creative, inventive and innovative human beings. It is about the contextual and experiential reformatting of education to permit "instant" human performance competence through software, with the intent of using still more software to substitute excellence for competence and innovation for excellence. It is about the technologically supported cascade of this approach across the societal meta-institutions guiding learning, living and working. scholar.lib.vt.edu /ejournals/JVER/v27n1/harkins.html   (140 words)

Children Who Overcome Adversity to Succeed in Life Resilience does not come from rare and special qualities, but from the everyday magic of ordinary human resources in the minds, brains and bodies of children, in their families and relationships, and in their communities. Adversity did not seem to derail development unless key adaptive resources were weak, or impaired by the adversity itself. Extensive information was gathered about the lives of these children, including information about their competence, the adversity they faced throughout their lives, and many family and individual qualities that might have made a difference for them. www.extension.umn.edu /distribution/familydevelopment/components/7565_06.html   (12995 words)

Testimony of Hon. Harrison H. Schmitt: Senate Hearing on "Lunar Exploration" SpaceRef - Your Space Reference The term "space exploration" implies the exploration of the Moon, planets and asteroids, that is, "deep space," in contrast to continuing human activities in Earth orbit. The creation of capabilities to support helium-3 mining operations also will provide the opportunity to support NASA's human lunar and planetary research at much reduced cost, as the cost of capital for launch and basic operations will be carried by the business enterprise. Such total restructuring would be necessary to re-create the competence and discipline necessary to operate successfully in the much higher risk and more complex deep space environment relative to that in near-earth orbit. www.spaceref.com /news/viewsr.html?pid=10924   (12995 words)

Ralph Bunche Educational Resources Instructor's Notes Ralph Bunche & the UN He personified the 'moral authority' of the international civil servant, projecting the positive image of independence, sensitivity, balanced judgement, expertise and competence as he embodied the ideals and principles of the UN Charter. Bunche brought to his metier beyond the sine qua non of dedication to duty and hard work, the rare combination of intellectual acuity and human sensitivity, of erudite expertise with the personality of an empathetic humanitarian that served him well in whatever assignment he undertook for the organization. While Bunche was busily engaged in trusteeship matters, the question of the future of Palestine, a League of Nations Mandated Territory administered by Britain, was put on the agenda of the United Nations General Assembly. www.pbs.org /ralphbunche/education/instruct_ralph.html   (2895 words)

DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE & INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS temperamental incompetence is not, therefore, even a remotely possible explanation even though, the purpose of the following analysis is to explain how a relative minority of global economic strategists came to be able to wreak so much havoc upon humankind.   For sheer lack of leadership, inept decisions, ignoring military intelligence, under-estimation of the enemy, delusional optimism and monumental wastage of human resources it has surely never had its equal. Conversely, it is why, given the sustained nature of contrary outcomes throughout the world, the initial question must address the competence of this regime to rule, or rather, its incompetence in the face of circumstances beyond its comprehension and control, but not, it seems, its ambitions. www.isanet.org /noarchive/mckinley.html   (6827 words)

United Nations Human Rights Website - Treaty Bodies Database - Document - Jurisprudence - Italy They refer to 33 decisions of the Italian Constitutional Court since 1983, concerning actions brought by the South Tirol Provincial Assembly which upheld the powers of direction and control of the Italian Government over matters previously held to be within the competence of the Province. While all peoples have the right of self-determination and the right freely to determine their political status, pursue their economic, social and cultural development, and may, for their own ends, freely dispose of their natural wealth and resources, the Committee has already decided that no claim for self-determination may be brought under the Optional Protocol. Thus, the Committee is not required to decide whether the ethno-German population living in South Tirol constitute "peoples" within the meaning of article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. www.unhchr.ch /tbs/doc.nsf/MasterFrameView/b45992c9d78c1cb9c1256af800374515?Opendocument   (698 words)
