The partition of India is the most painful and traumatic episode of Indian history. Partition in general was accompanied by a huge wave of violence, but the atrocities against women were probably the most horrible ones. Though women were neither the part of the political decisions that divided the nation nor they had any role in the violence that followed partition, yet they were the worst targets of brutality inflicted by the men of other communities. The impact of the partition on women was…

admissible exercise of discretion. Further in the North Sea Continental Shelf Case, the court (ICJ) based its judgment on the general precepts of justice and good faith. It recognized the principle of estoppel establishing an obligation of the parties to act in good faith. And in its South West Africa/Namibia (Advisory Opinions and Judgments) the ICJ on dealing with a burden of proof question, decided that, before assuming a breach of its obligations under the mandate regime, South Africa’s not…

The name of this article that I will be talking about is called "Women of Worth" (The Gender Gap) by Merna Forster. Merna Forster is a very successful woman that did a campaign in having women on Canadian money and is also the author of “100 Canadian Heroes”. The thesis/argument that Forester is stating in her article is that they want to stop women inequality and to put an end to our Canadian gender gap. This Report will talk about the summary of the article and its argument, and also my…

“Where on Earth have all the kids gone?” This question has been echoed around the world by community members from the south pole to the arctic circle. A shocking lack of teen involvement in places once the pride of the youths who participated in them has gripped the nation… nay, the world! Let’s face it- being involved in the community as a teen has become stigmatized. Their peers view it as a frivolity, and an unnecessary distraction from time they believe would be better spent playing Fortnite…

persistently debated topic in contemporary American history. The two mainstream positions, pro-life and pro-choice, both base their arguments on assumptions that seem to prevent any resolution. Pro-lifers assert that a fetus is a human being, and since we must not kill human beings, abortion is immoral. On the other hand, pro-choice advocates do not consider the fetus to have the same level of personhood as the mother, and so it is not murder. Pro-choicers deem the mother’s autonomy over her own…

women or without her consent. If it was a non-consensual act and she was killed, the defender shall be liable for qisas. But if she was a consenting party to the unlawful sexual intercourse the defender shall not be liable for any punishment. Whereas, consent of the parties for unlawful sexual intercourse is of no importance in Shari'ah and in such cases if the defender causes death of both the parties he will not be liable. In Shari 'ah the act shall not be justified unless he has witnessed…

During the debates over the Reconstruction amendments, I was particularly interested in the controversy about the ambiguous compromise of rights that the 14th amendment declared to protect with its Equal Protection Clause. Equality is difficult to define with the various interpretations in precedent and it has proven to still be a continued controversy today. More specifically, the controversy that has persisted is the issue of whether the State or Federal government would be the ones to decide…

consumption of alcoholic drinks drastically decreased after the movement. While solving this issue, they found a power that they later used in the Cult of Domesticity in which they sought equality. The Cult of Domesticity impacted the future of women’s rights in the United States. It became one step closer to complete equality to men. Certain genders would no longer be superior. Once women found a voice, they never ceased to stand up against…

changes were necessary. Between the years of 1825-1850, a reformational period embodied America. Whether or not these reforms sought to expand democratic ideals was a question that required an answer. Reforms such as the abolition movement, women's rights, religious reformations, temperance movements and prison reforms did expand democractic ideals in America and change swept the nation. Abolitionists were activists…

depending on their location or inner beliefs. For instance, the American culture, despite some similarities, is quite different from the Russian culture. Human rights in America are celebrated, respected and protected. Human rights activists are very vocal and vigilant advertizing for justice and the rights of every American. In Russia however, human rights are subordinated for the common good of the community. The laws are meant to benefit the community as a whole and not focusing on the level…
