 IABA-Forum non conveniens-Ecuador
Our judicial system, in responding to a socioeconomic reality that is different from that of highly industrialized countries, is not designed to resolve massive accidents of catastrophic proportions as a result of the application of dangerous industrial techniques or the use of a highly noxious substance.
When there is concurrent jurisdiction between our courts and a foreign court –and when the foreign country concerned also considers that there is concurrent jurisdiction- the choice of the foreign court by a national plaintiff is completely valid accorfding to both legal systems in question.
In that case, if the foreign court imposes on the natinal plaintiff the obligation to return to his country and to refile the petition here, it is also imposing upon our Judiciary Power to adjudicate the case and to completely disregard the mentioned legal principle that accords the plaintiff the choice of forum.

 OSI Forum: Zimbabwe in Crisis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The country, rechristened Zimbabwe, was seen as a model for freedom fighters in other states in the region—in particular neighboring South Africa, where democracy was finally reestablished in 1994 with the transfer of power from the white minority to Nelson Mandela's African National Congress.
Once a net food exporter and one of southern Africa's wealthiest countries, Zimbabwe is now a dysfunctional state characterized by human rights abuses, lack of respect for the rule of law, rampant corruption, rising poverty levels, and widespread food shortages.
At an OSI Forum in New York on November 7, 2002, two members of the MDC's shadow government joined two Zimbabwean human rights advocates, including one from the recently formed Save Zimbabwe campaign, to discuss the increasingly dire civil rights situation in their country.

 Justification for strong atheism - JREF Forum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
You are currently viewing the forum as a guest, which means you are missing out on discussing matters that are of interest to you.
The difference is that the lack of evidence for a god means nothing since there is plently of G space in which no evidence for a god would be expected to exist.
AFAIK, strong atheism implies that there is not only an absence of good evidence of God's existence, but either positive evidence that indicates that God doesn't exist, or logical argument that shows that God cannot exist.

 Country CFO Forum
As a result, there is a strong potential for proliferation of these types of arrangements to occur rapidly and widely around the globe.
It is not uncommon for these arrangements to develop in one jurisdiction and then migrate to another country after tailoring for the different accounting, taxation and legal framework that exists.
Another feature of some of these arrangements is that if they were examined from just one jurisdiction's point of view, or with just one jurisdiction's interest in mind, the underlying mischief may not be readily identified.

BEIJING, Mar 29 (IPS) - For a country in the middle of a huge urbanisation process, involving the movement of hundreds of millions of peasants to the cities, China had surprisingly little to share with its developing counterparts at the World Social Forum, that concluded in the Pakistani city of Karachi on Wednesday.
Some 30,000 delegates from more than 50 countries in South East Asia and the Americas gathered at the forum to discuss the problems of global economic development and in particular the plight of displaced and dispossessed in the face of rapid globalisation.
Glaringly absent from the forum were representatives of China's burgeoning green movement, legal rights activists or any independent members of the public who could speak about the challenges the country is facing in its headlong economic development.

Because this book will be distributed in almost every part of the world in which English is spoken or taught, no one in any of those places will ever again be able to say that they do not know that the literature exists, or they do not know what to read or teach.
In our own country, we know it is very important that children and young people of all ages, races, classes, creeds etc are made familiar with this material.
It must be part of what we teach from kindergarten to graduate school if we are to have an intelligent and well-informed nation, a populace aware and respectful of the differences among its many groups and equally knowledgeable about the links that binci us to each other.

In my opinion if a church educational authority in any country, fails to educate it's pupils as to the dangers of HIV and AIDS because it's Christian belief would hold that promiscuous sex is wrong anyway, (many innocent people still contract this deadly disease) then it is taking an un loving holier than thou approach.
Sadly where a woman has to sell her body for the benefit of her 'pimp,' to feed a drug habit, in some countries to even buy food, then there is definitely something very wrong.

Khatami stopped short of suggesting any renewal of official dialogue between the two governments, his overtures to the American people has prompted a debate over whether it is time to rethink U.S. policy toward Iran.
And although isolating Iran politically and economically has been official U.S. policy since the revolution, in the post-Gulf War period, in which U.S policy entails a "dual containment" of both Iran and Iraq, a chorus of voices have been calling for a re-evaluation of U.S.- Iran relations.
