TIME.com: Scrutinizing Camp X-Ray More troubling is the legal status and the fact that as far as we knowthese people are being treated as if they're not legal personages. http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,197159,00.html
Extractions: Amnesty International, the prominent human rights group, is demanding access to the prisoners currently held at the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. TIME.com spoke with Avner Gidron, senior policy adviser at Amnesty International, about the organization's request, the U.S. government's response and growing global pressure to expose the conditions at the camp. Amnesty is asking for access to the prisoners. What are your primary concerns? We do have some concerns about the possible ill treatment.of prisoners. From what we've seen the conditions don't meet basic international standards required when holding people in detention. More troubling is the legal status and the fact that as far as we know these people are being treated as if they're not legal personages. For example, as far as we know, no one has informed them of the charges against them or told them what their rights are. What role can Amnesty International play in this situation?

Extractions: The Supreme Court and the "Ten Commandments" One of the most persistent pressures imposed on American judicial system is from those who want the Ten Commandments and other biblical artifacts put on public display in government facilities or embedded in the public school curriculum. The judicial system gets deluged with lawsuits over the issue. So much so that the Supreme Court has become disinclined to hear a lot of the cases that manage to reach its desk. One recent case involved a stone monument of the Ten Commandments, which had been erected on the grounds of a state court building A lawsuit claiming violation of the religious establishment clause was initiated and a lower court subsequently ruled that the statue had to be removed. The state governor appealed the ruling and got the case sent to the Supreme Court for consideration. The argument favoring the statue was that its meaning was not solely religious, but rather also commemorated a “great historical contribution” to the foundation of our legal system. The political crucible for the whole issue was that the walls of the Supreme Court itself contain a frieze depicting Moses holding his legendary stone tablets.
The Preservers Of Hadith of Islamic Law The students of Islamic history know that would come to these distinguishedpersonages for the solution of religious and legal problems and http://muslim-canada.org/siddiqui.html
Extractions: MUHAMMAD ABDUL ALEEM SIDDIQUI AL-QADRI An excerpt from Chapter IV, "The Preservers of Hadith and Scholars of Law Among the Companions" from his book "The History of the Codification of Islamic Law" The Abu Huraira (God be pleased with him) was one of those eminent Companions who were distinguished in the line of preserving and reporting the Holy Prophet's Traditions, and this is borne out by the large number of Traditions reported by him and included in the books of Hadith. But it is a fact well-known to the students of the history of Companions, that whenever someone was confronted with any religious or legal problem, he would not approach Companions like Abu Huraira but those who were considered Fuqaha (i.e., men of grasp and understanding). It was this latter class whose verdict ( fatwa ) was relied upon and whatever interpretation they gave to the Sayings and Actions of the Holy Prophet (peace be with him) was accepted. To make the distinction between the two categories of Companions practically clear, I may invite your attention to a famous Hadith.

He will soon publish an article entitled, "Litigation Management: Organize Using Project Management Methodology." (Posted July 1, 1998; Archived August 15, 1998) Author's Note This article began as a simple analysis of the DOJ action against Microsoft. After a couple of days, I realized two things: a) the DOJ case has no merit, and is not worth more than a page or two, and b) Microsofts role in the world of technology (that is to say "the world") is significant, and needs to be examined carefully, but in the right context. I am not a lawyer, but have determined that lawyers arent required just yet, as the issue is not yet properly framed from social and technological perspectives. It is difficult to ask the right questions and come to the right conclusions when the issues underlying those questions are ill-defined and no one really knows the correct basis for the conclusions.
Philippine Communication Centrum issues have always been the major legal issues involved cum biographies of Abu Sayyafpersonages (which made firsthand while burdened by a history of centuries http://www.comcentrum.ph/wpfd_proceedings/wpfd_proceed_issues_cover.htm
Extractions: MY TASK this morning is to discuss the legal and ethical issues involved in the media's coverage of terrorism in the Philippine setting. The topic assumes that the coverage of terrorism, its manifestations, permutations, consequences and impact, is problematic specially in terms of mass media law and ethics. The latter is particularly complex, and six pages and 15 minutes are not enough to cover the field. The most I can promise is my bnest effort in meeting my responsibility this afternoon. As UNESCO itself has had occasion to point out in the past, this has meant not only the predominance of information from Western, specifically American sources, but also reporting told from Western assumptions and viewpoints, which are often uncritically assimilated. I do not mean to imply that terrorism is not a major issue of global existence, however, only that in reporting terrorism, as in the reporting of most other issues, the political economy of the mass media is an important factor.

Extractions: III. Civil Rights and Political Rights of Citizens Effectively Safeguarded Since the founding of the People's Republic, China has made great progress in its efforts to build its democratic and legal systems, and people's civil rights and political rights are maintained and guaranteed according to law. Public security and judicial organs crack down on crimes according to law, and protect citizens' legitimate rights and interests from being infringed. According to statistics, in 1998, however, they handled 5.4 million first instance cases, including 480,000 criminal cases, 3.37 million civil cases, 1.45 million cases of economic disputes and nearly 100,000 administrative cases. The public security and judicial organs cracked down on serious crimes related to murder, explosion, poisoning, robbery, large-scale theft, rape, kidnapping, gangs, and guns, effectively protecting the safety of people's lives and property. Meanwhile, the legitimate rights of criminal suspects and the accused were protected according to law. Since 1983, people's courts have pronounced more than 40,000 people not guilty according to law because of lack of evidence of crimes.

Ancient Dynasties The Dawn of history. Evidence from the royal tombs indicates that royal personageswere buried with depended more on familial ties than on feudal legal bonds. http://www-chaos.umd.edu/history/ancient1.html
Extractions: Chinese civilization, as described in mythology, begins with Pangu ( ), the creator of the universe, and a succession of legendary sage-emperors and culture heroes (among them are Huang Di , Yao, and Shun) who taught the ancient Chinese to communicate and to find sustenance, clothing, and shelter. The first prehistoric dynasty is said to be Xia ( ), from about the twenty-first to the sixteenth century B.C. Until scientific excavations were made at early bronze-age sites at Anyang ( ), Henan ( ) Province, in 1928, it was difficult to separate myth from reality in regard to the Xia. But since then, and especially in the 1960s and 1970s, archaeologists have uncovered urban sites, bronze implements, and tombs that point to the existence of Xia civilization in the same locations cited in ancient Chinese historical texts. At minimum, the Xia period marked an evolutionary stage between the late neolithic cultures and the typical Chinese urban civilization of the Shang dynasty. Thousands of archaeological finds in the Huang He ( ), Henan Valley (

Extractions: HOME NEWS GUIDE CONTACTS ... Feedback Interior of hall looking west, from a watercolour which shows the gothicisation carried out under Joseph Jekyll, Treasurer in 1816. South side, from the gardens. Mezzotint by Samuel Ireland, 1800. Only the parliament chamber (1680) and clocktower (1686) had survived the fire of 1737. The Georgian facade (in Portland stone) was added in 1740 when Thomas Blencowe was Treasurer. At the left is the Crown Office Row building of 1737 (destroyed 1941). The old hall underwent many changes before its demolition in 1868. None of the rich Elizabethan and Jacobean armorial glass seems to have survived. In 1816 a gothicisation programme by Robert Smirke brought an oak screen with pinnacles, a new ceiling, and wainscotting, with the readers' painted coats of arms (formerly in the Parliament Chamber and Library) placed around the frieze; three statues of kings in terracotta, by Rossi, were erected in niches at the west end. For all this attention, it was too small and decrepit a building to survive.
