Tribunal

set it up in Naples and Milan failed. In 1522 Holy Roman Emperor Charles V introduced it into the Low Countries, but its efforts to wipe out Protestantism were unsuccessful. John III of Portugal, with the permission of Pope Paul III, introduced a tribunal like the Spanish Inquisition against Portuguese Jews in 1536. Though John III’s methods led the pope to revoke the grant, the Inquisition was definitely established in Portugal in 1547, at which time its scope was also…

Freedom of speech is an issue that transcends time. In a recent and controversial case, Maclean’s magazine was accused of publishing hateful and Islamophobic content that, (from the complainant’s point of view) allowed for no opportunity to be countered. There are parallels between John Stuart Mill’s work On liberty and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms enacted by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau on what boundaries to place on such a precious liberty. Both generally conclude that a…

If there is going to be a War Crime Tribunal, then the US is the only one able to get most of the other countries to sign it. Just like it did when Bill Clinton was in office. As Early as 1995, The Clinton Administration became an activist of the idea. The Movement culminated with the Rome…

South Africa was one of the earliest supporters for setting up the court that would be known to try extreme cases of human rights violations.

The ICC stands as…

Firstly, the Sex Discrimination Act introduced in 1984 outlines that it is unlawful to discriminate due to things such as gender, family responsibilities or pregnancy yet these issues continue to run rampant in the workplace over thirty years later. According to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency the current pay gap stands at 16.0% (as of February 2017) and 69.1% of men are employed full time compared to just 40.7% of women. This illustrates how the nature of this law fails to address distinct…

The Khmer Rouge should be listed as one of the most horrific events in history. These sources portray the violent acts of this group.

A document issued by the International Court of Justice stated that,…

The phenomenon of corruption is as old as human history; and it can well be argued that the problem of grand corruption in Nigeria did not attain its all-pervasive status during the colonial era. According to Tignor, ‘concerns about corruption were seen as one of the reasons colonial rule was needed as it provided good government in place of oppression and chaos’. On the contrary, Osoba argues that the British colonial administration laid the foundation of what metamorphosed today as endemic…

humanity during World War II. On November 4, 1948, the trial ended with 25 of 28 Japanese defendants being found guilty. Of the three other defendants, two had died during the lengthy trial, and one was declared insane.
