William Whewell Whewell claimed that a large part of the history of science is the “history of scientific ideas,” that is, the history of their explication and subsequent use as colligating concepts. Whewell was born in 1794, the eldest child of a master-carpenter in Lancaster. Whewell claimed that “when the theory, by the concurrences of two indications … has included a new range of phenomena, we have, in fact, a new induction of a more general kind, to which the inductions formerly obtained are subordinate, as particular cases to a general population” (1858b, p. plato.stanford.edu /entries/whewell   (947 words)

Chapter 1: History The modern history of international arbitration is, however, generally recognized as dating from the so-called Jay Treaty of 1794 between the United States of America and Great Britain. As the Court was to be the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, it was felt inappropriate for this role to be filled by the Permanent Court of International Justice, which had up till then been linked to the League of Nations, then on the point of dissolution. In principle the PCIJ was accessible to all States for the judicial settlement of their international disputes and they were able to declare beforehand that for certain classes of legal disputes they recognized the Court's jurisdiction as compulsory in relation to other States accepting the same obligation. www.icj-cij.org /icjwww/igeneralinformation/ibbook/Bbookchapter1.HTM   (4071 words)

As importantly, students will also be expected to appreciate the ways in which public international law has been shaped by, and has itself contributed to the shaping of, various social, economic, and political forces/events/situations. Originally viewed as the department of the law that regulates the relations among the separate independent political formations that constitute our globe, public international law has come to encompass much more than inter-state relations. www.carleton.ca /law/outlines/f98/363a-f98.htm   (742 words)

The International Law Commission of the United Nations Morton's assessment of these documents tests two central issues—the degree to which the commission is influenced by international political, economic, and ideological struggles, and the impact of the end of the cold war on international law. He addresses the dearth of systematic analysis of the commission's work and specifically considers its progress on two monumental tasks: the establishment of a binding code of international crimes and the creation of a standing international court. Beginning with a review of the commission's history, Morton looks closely at its efforts to synthesize myriad multilateral and bilateral treaties, General Assembly resolutions, and United Nations documents into a unified code of crimes. www.sc.edu /uscpress/Fw99/3170.html   (381 words)

A Short History of Kosovo This brief history, based on authoritative published sources, is intended to provide readers with an objective and reasonably concise history of the hundreds of years of struggle between Albanians and Serbs in Kosovo. The news media in the United States are claiming that Milosevic caved in to NATO because of the bombing, the indictment of Milosevic as a war criminal by the International War Crimes Tribunal and a last minute opaque threat by President Clinton that perhaps he might agree to a ground invasion of Kosovo after all. The five centuries of "harmonious and peaceful coexistence” under Islamic rule, cited by Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic belong to the theological dogma of the perfection of the shari'a and the dhimmi For the Orthodox Serbs, however, this same period is considered one of massacre, pillage, slavery, deportation, and the exile of Christian populations. lamar.colostate.edu /~grjan/kosovohistory.html   (8604 words)

THISDAYonline To the extent that nineteenth century international law, given its Eurocentricity, failed to reckon with [the legacy of Africa's authentic history], its claim to universality is undoubtedly suspect". For instance, John Westlake, the Whewell Professor of International Law in the University of Cambridge, writing in 1894, derided the "uncivilized natives" and asserted that "in Africa...an importance has sometimes been attached to treaties with uncivilized tribes, and a development has sometimes been given to them, which are more calculated to excite laughter than argument".

WASHINGTON TODAY: `Full sovereignty' in Iraq might not be so But Simon Chesterman, of the Institute for International Law and Justice at New York University, likens U.S. relations with the future Iraqi caretaker government to the dominant role the Soviet Union maintained over pliable East Bloc allies during the last century. Also, the approval of any new laws must await the early 2006 installation of an elected government contemplated under the current timetable. The main task of the interim authority will be to run the country through the various government ministries and to organize elections in January for what Bush calls "the first freely elected, truly representative national governing body in Iraq's history." www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2004/06/02/national0413EDT0453.DTL   (350 words)

Legal Affairs Debate Club - Is International Law Useful? The common assumption among international law scholars that the U.S.—out of sheer perversity, or because it, uniquely among all major nations, misunderstands its own long-term interests—stands in the way of the proper development of international law (Kyoto, the ICC, etc.) is one of the most discreditable aspects of this field of scholarship. I do agree, however, that sometimes international law reflects popular enthusiasms, misguided idealism, domestic political failure, symbolic politics, propaganda, and the like—the Kellogg-Briand Pact is the best example, the UN charter's use of force rule may be another—and that these cases are not usefully analyzed from the perspective of rational state interest. They are not true international courts in the sense of involving a large number of states as equals, all of them subordinate to the rule of law. www.legalaffairs.org /webexclusive/debateclub_.msp   (5294 words)
