about GPF What's New Newsletter Sitemap ... *Opinion Forum Issues of Priority Concerning the Extraordinary Chambers Justice Initiative August 8, 2005 During the first half of 2005, donor states have contributed substantial sums to the cost of creating the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia for the Prosecution of Crimes Committed during the Period of Democratic Kampuchea (ECDK). The Chambers' imminent establishment is a welcome step toward legal accountability for up to two million victims of the 1975-79 genocide. Although funding for the Cambodian government's share of the budget is yet to be fully secured, it is not too early for the Group of Interested States (GIS) to turn its attention to a number of outstanding issues concerning the composition and operation of the ECDK. How these matters are addressed will determine the effectiveness, fairness, and impact of the trials in Cambodia and beyond. By design, the Extraordinary Chambers is part of the Cambodian judicial system, with Cambodians constituting a majority of its judges and legal staff. Nonetheless, as Prime Minister Hun Sen and others have repeatedly affirmed, Cambodia requires international resources and expertise. Crimes of this magnitude are of concern to all humanity. The international community has an interest and a responsibility to ensure that they are prosecuted and tried credibly. In particular, the Group of Interested States, including those donors who have contributed virtually all of the ECDK's funds, must monitor closely the tribunal's establishment and operation, and act expeditiously to remedy any problems that threaten the integrity of the proceedings.

Domestic Violence Legal Issues Should be Incorporated Throughout Law School Curricula Domestic violence legal issues should be incorporated into law school curricula as a core component of legal education. It may be easy to understand the benefits of raising these issues in clinical programs, which train students to represent or assist victims in the community. A more subtle need, however, is to alert lawyers to the ways in which domestic violence issues crop up in seemingly unrelated fields of law. Lawyers who practice any kind of family, criminal, tort, financial (including wills, trusts and estates, and tax law) or poverty law are likely to have cases complicated by domestic violence. Understanding how to spot domestic violence issues will assist lawyers to represent clients properly. Therefore, these issues must be raised not only in specialized clinics, but also throughout the curricula. Domestic Violence Legal Issues Should Be Raised in Core Curriculum Courses Historically, domestic violence issues have not been raised in law school courses or addressed in mainstream legal journals. Traditional law school textbooks do not include domestic violence issues, and many law school professors do not incorporate domestic violence issues into their courses. Failure to address these issues penalizes all students. Regardless of the professional track a student chooses, it is likely that he or she will be faced with legal problems related to domestic violence as a practicing attorney. Since all students will benefit from an understanding of domestic violence issues, it is necessary to incorporate these issues into core curriculum courses.

Chapter 22 Special Topics Section 7, International Issues in Victim Assistance Abstract Victim issues transcend many borders, cultures, and legal systems. Not only is the United States visited by millions of foreign nationals each year, but citizens of the United States travel and live all over the world. Crime does not limit itself to the borders of a particular country. This chapter addresses a number of international crime victim issues that have become increasingly important as our societies have become more global and mobile. Issues such as tourist victimization, crime victim compensation, international terrorism, and commercial exploitation of women and children are just a few of the complex issues in international victim assistance. This chapter also discusses some of the efforts that are being undertaken by the United Nations and other organizations at the international level to address these issues. Learning Objectives Upon completion of this section, students will understand the following concepts: The background and history of the victims' movement at the international level.

CEELI Programs in Bulgaria Legal Profession Reform Index for Bulgaria Judicial Reform Index for Bulgaria Background CEELI has worked with local partners to promote the rule of law in Bulgaria since 1991. Legal professionals today work in a much more transparent environment, but challenges remain in combating corruption, enforcing judgments and ensuring access to justice for all members of society. CEELI began providing assistance in Bulgaria in 1991 and has had a continuous presence on the ground ever since. CEELI's program is currently led by a Sofia-based Country Director and benefits from the expertise of one rule of law liaison in Sofia, and two criminal law liaisons, one in Sofia and the other in Blagoevgrad. In addition, a talented staff of local legal professionals supports both the rule of law and criminal law reform projects.

International Justice: An Overview The Justice Initiative views the Khmer Rouge Tribunal (KRT) as the last best chance for justice for the victims of the atrocities committed during the period of Democratic Kampuchea, and has actively worked to improve the process and ultimate product. Our aim is to ensure that the trials will be fair, credible, and transparent, that Cambodians have ownership over the process and receive a measure of justice from the trials, and that the tribunal positively impacts upon the judicial process in local courts of Cambodia. Since late 2003, every few months the Justice Initiative has taken International Technical Advisors to Cambodia to work with NGOs and the Government Task Force on the Khmer Rouge Tribunal. Our hope is that the experience of experts from other international and hybrid courts—dealing with atrocities in East Timor, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and the former Yugoslavia—can help Cambodia incorporate the best lessons and practices from those courts into the KRT. The visits also provide an opportunity for us to collaborate with Cambodian NGOs and to gather information on local needs concerning the KRT. The Justice Initiative has also helped produce Working Papers on topics essential to the KRT’s functioning, such as on the nomination of judges and the treatment of witnesses and victims.

Circumcision: Legal issues This page indexes legal material relevant to the performance of male circumcision. Documents are indexed in chronological order of publication. Introduction The English-speaking nations share the English language, the common law, and male circumcision as part of their history and culture since the late 19th century. This page incorporates relevant legal reference material from the several English-speaking nations. Some definitions: A "botched" circumcision is one that is poorly done and has obvious unexpected results. "Wrongful circumcision" is circumcision done without valid informed consent. Botched circumcision and wrongful circumcision constitute malpractice. Prior to 1984, circumcision law was included under malpractice law: Doctors who "botched" circumcisions could only be sued for failing to adhere to the "standard of care." There were, however, a number of circumcision malpractice cases that succeeded on these grounds. Starting in 1984, academics began to apply general principles of health care law and medical ethics to examine the legality of male circumcision. Children are legally regarded as

Download full report in PDF format 8. Conclusions / Recommendations Lessons Learned and Future Challenges Domestic Laws Can Create Strong Legal Platforms Training Is Critical Law enforcement, NGOs, worker organizations, government monitoring agencies, and service providers are learning more and more about the signs of trafficking and forced labor. This study finds that identification of victims increases as those likely to encounter survivors gain expertise in the various signals of forced labor conditions. Furthermore, expertise in identifying and supporting survivors strengthens eradication efforts by increasing law enforcement knowledge about forced labor and trafficking operations as well as by empowering survivors to seek justice and rebuild their lives. The numbers of professionals with trafficking and forced labor expertise is still relatively small, but growing. Their experiences serve as a vital resource for the creation of training materials as well as their dissemination. Building up the numbers of trained and seasoned professionals is crucial to minimizing inadvertent risk of harm to victims or rescuers through inappropriate interventions (such as confronting a trafficker while the victim is still under her or his control). With time, training should be extended both in breadth and depth to more agencies and professionals in order to identify, liberate, and support survivors. In particular, worker and employer organizations are important audiences to target for training on the signs of forced labor. Because victims are often isolated, these sectors may have access to victims and could function as monitors.
