Product Description:
Telecommunications service providers face increasing information assistance requests to help law enforcement while they simultaneously struggle with CapEx and OpEx reductions. On the other hand, law enforcement agencies face expensive telecommunication interface options for data collection as they battle with a growing backlog of subpoena requests. Intelligence Support Systems: Technologies for Lawful Intercepts addresses the information and intelligence needs of service providers, law enforcement agencies, representatives of governments and international standards bodies, and product and service vendors. This volume offers solutions for many technological challenges, explaining how to provide networking equipment and probes for lawful intercepts, and detailing methods for reducing the performance impacts on network equipment that result from intercepts. It explores how to access, collect, and deliver information in real-time and how to improve mediation efficiency while serving multiple functions. The book also covers data retention and preservation issues and examines how to standardize intercept technologies for various service portfolios and infrastructure components. Focusing on intelligence support systems (ISS), the text demonstrates how the information that an ISS gathers can be applied toward security, and illustrates how an ISS interfaces with billing, ordering, provisioning, authenticating, and law enforcement systems.

Regulating the Genetic Supermarket (Biomedical Law and Ethics Library)
By Colin Gavaghan
Publisher: UCL Press
Number Of Pages: 238
Publication Date: 2006-12-14
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1844720594
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781844720590
Binding: Hardcover
Product Description:
The controversial topic of the technology of Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis, and the muddled approach to this subject adopted by the UK Parliament, is explored in detail in this volume. The author takes the viewpoint that the HFEA has taken insufficient notice to date of certain core ethical principles and makes the case for a much more ethically consistent and humane system than has been managed so far.
Arguing that many of the fears and objections levied against Robert Nozick’s notion of the ‘Genetic Supermarket’ by disability activists, christian bioethicists and radical feminists, amongst others, are internally inconsistent, philosophically unsound or merely highly improbable, the author considers a number of individual policy decisions of the HFEA and addresses such questions as:
Can a case be made out for state involvement in such decisions? Who stands to be harmed by a supermarket model? Are any ethical principles or societal interests threatened by it?
This book is an essential resource for law students of all levels and professionals working within or interested in medical and healthcare law and medical genetics.

Nolo's Encyclopedia of Everyday Law: Answers to Your Most Frequently Asked Legal Questions （7th edition，2008)
Author: Shae Irving
Publisher: NOLO
File size: 2.2 MB
File type: PDF - 474 pages
A practical book for non-lawyers, providing clear answers to frequently asked questions in 74 different areas of the law. "What do I do about my noisy neighbors?" "What are my rights if I'm fired from my job?" "Do I really need to make a will?" In lieu of going to law school, this book gives a good, basic grounding on the legal matters most likely to touch your life--your home, your car, your money, and your job, among others. It's an excellent reference book for any home library. Summary: Excellent overview of various laws for everyday life.
From the author:
If there is only one legal book that you wish to buy, let it be this one. Or if you are looking to buy your first legal book, this is the best choice. The reason is that this book contains information on the law in a great many areas of everyday life - houses, neighbors, landlords and tenants, workplace rights, small businesses, patents, wills and estate planning, parents and children, etc. There are also two valuable chapters on courts and criminal law. These two chapters have information on how to represent yourself in court, how to deal with your lawyer, and what to do in case of an arrest or search. Every single topic I researched on my own from 'What does renter's insurance cover?' to 'Do I need a lawyer to make my will?', I found that this book has the most comprehensive information on the topic than anywhere else I looked. Each chapter has many reference links at the end of the chapter where you can check those out for more detailed information or verify the information presented from the original sources. There is a glossary at the end of the book that is short but helpful in explaining hundreds of legal terms and there is an appendix on how to do legal research. This book is great for both individuals and small businesses. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much I did! Great bathroom reading!

Accountability for International Humanitarian Law Violations: The Case of Rwanda and East Timor
By Mohamed Chande Othman
Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 384
Publication Date: 2005-09-19
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 3540260811
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783540260813
Binding: Hardcover
Product Description:
The book is a critical review of accountability conducted under the authority of the United Nations Security Council, by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), and the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET). It is centred on two case studies: the 1999 events in Rwanda, which constituted genocide, "the crime of crimes", and the 1999 mayhem in East Timor. The books subjects to testing cross-examination tools to hold accountable persons with "the greatest responsibility" for serious international humanitarian law violations.
A detailed expose is made of conspiracy to commit genocide. Comparison is also made whether joint criminal enterprise, and the forms of co-perpetration embodied in the Statute of the International Criminal Court provide effective alternatives in the case of atrocity crimes. A unique aspect of the book is its high-light of lessons learn in prosecution strategies; approaches in profiling perpetrators, particularly those with the highest level of responsibility for international humanitarian law violations; victor’s justice; superior responsibility; guilty pleas, and the effectiveness of the East Timor and the Indonesian Ad Hoc Human Rights Court processes. In the final analysis, the book offers a Matrix on Accountability.

Territorial Rights: 2nd edition (Law and Philosophy Library)

Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
Liberal defences of nationalism have become prevalent since the mid-1980’s. Curiously, they have largely neglected the fact that nationalism is primarily about land. Should liberals throw up their hands in despair when confronting conflicting claims stemming from incommensurable national narratives and holy texts? Should they dismiss conflicting demands that stem solely from particular cultures, religions and mythologies in favour of a supposedly neutral set of guidelines? Does history matter? Should ancient injustices interest us today? Should we care who reached the territory first and who were its prior inhabitants? Should principles of utility play a part in resolving territorial disputes? Was John Locke right to argue that the utilisation of land counts in favour of its acquisition? And should western style settlement projects work in favour or against a nation’s territorial demands? When and how should principles of equality and equal distribution come into play?
Territorial Rights examines the generic types of territorial claims customarily put forward by national groups as justification for their territorial demands, within the framework of what has come to be known as ‘liberal nationalism’. The final outcome is a multifarious theory on the ethics of territorial boundaries that supplies a workable set of guidelines for evaluating territorial disputes from a liberal-national perspective, and offers a common ground for discussion (including disagreement) and for the mediation of claims.

Comparative Corporate Governance (Routledge Studies in Corporate Goverance)
By Ahmed Naciri
Publisher:Routledge
Number Of Pages:407
Publication Date:2008-04-28
ISBN-10 / ASIN:0415428742
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780415428743
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
The last Asian financial crisis, coupled with the western series of corporate scandals, has caused investors and citizens to doubt mangers' ability to guarantee credible financial information about organizations. Consequently, legislators all over the world have come to realise the necessity of legislating in the area of corporate governance.
This book explores several national corporate governance reform experiences from around the world (including Canada, China, the United States, and the European Union) and offers an explanatory theory with regard to national systems of corporate governance. It also underlines corporate governance as a management tool and principle. The author argues that each country should be encouraged to build its own system of corporate governance which should be harmonized with its history, culture and the level of its economic development.

The Strategy of Terrorism: How it Works, and Why it Fails (Contemporary Terrorism Studies)
By M.L.R. Smith, Peter R. Neumann
Publisher:Routledge
Number Of Pages:126
Publication Date:2007-12-11
ISBN-10 / ASIN:0415426189
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780415426183
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
This is the first book to set out a comprehensive framework by which to understand terrorism as strategy. It contends that even terrorism of the supposedly nihilist variety can be viewed as a bona fide method for distributing means to fulfil the ends of policy, that is, as a strategy.
The main purpose of the work is to describe the dynamics of terrorism and evaluate their effectiveness, as well as to theorize upon, and clarify the correlation between, political ends and terrorist means. The text explains the modus operandi of terrorism, and demonstrates how terrorism relies on manipulating the psychological impact of (usually) relatively small-scale attacks. Using a variety of case studies, The Strategy of Terrorism shows how many campaigns of terrorism end in failure when they lose their power to terrify. The authors spell out what a proper understanding of terrorism as a strategy implies for those who want to make terrorism ineffective, and offer a number of policy recommendations derived directly from their critique.
This is the first contribution of strategic studies to the study of terrorism, and will be of much interest to students of terrorism, strategy and security studies, as well as military professionals and policy makers.

Terrorism Versus Democracy: The Liberal State Response (Cass Series: Political Violence)
By Paul Wilkinson
Publisher:Routledge
Number Of Pages:276
Publication Date:2006-08-18
ISBN-10 / ASIN:041538477X
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780415384773
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
This new, revised and updated edition of Prof. Wilkinson's acclaimed Terrorism Versus Democracy examines the problem of liberal democratic response. It draws some key lessons from the recent experience of democracies, and in particular from the response of the US, and UK and the international community to the horrific events of 9/11.
New chapters attempts a candid interim balance sheet on the success and failures of the War on Terrorism and highlights major dangers which were emphasized in the first edition, such as over-reaction, over-reliance on the use of military force in an effort to suppress terrorism, and the adoption of measures which involve major curtailments of democracy, human rights and the rule of law which could undermine the very democracy one is trying to defend. The author argues that prior to 9/11 the general international response to terrorism was one of inconsistency, confusion and under-reaction. However, at the other extreme, resort to full-scale war in the name of combating terrorism risks the sacrifice of far greater numbers of innocent lives than have ever been killed in non-state terrorist attacks. All these questions and many others are examined in Terrorism Versus Democracy.

ISBN-10 / ASIN:0415964911
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780415964913
Binding:Paperback
Product Description:
The second of three books in the Democracy and Terrorism series, Democratic Responses to Terrorism tackles how to protect democratic societies against terrorist violence while, at the same time, making sure that the steps democracies take to protect themselves do no fundamental harm to the rule of law and the rights of citizens. This collection of essays from notable scholars assesses such elements as the role of the legal framework, human rights, democracy and civil society, as well as international cooperation.
The series explores one of the most pressing issues of our time: how to reconcile the need to fight terrorism with our desire to protect and enhance democratic values. The volumes are an outgrowth of a summit conference organized by the Club de Madrid, an independent organization comprised of many former heads of state, dedicated to strengthening democracy around the world.

Ethics, Liberalism and Realism in International Relations (Routledge Advances in International Relations and Global Politicá)
By Mark D Gismondi
Publisher:Routledge
Number Of Pages:278
Publication Date:2007-11-02
ISBN-10 / ASIN:0415772370
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780415772372
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
This book explores the complex issue of international ethics in the two dominant schools of thought in international relations; Liberalism and Realism.
Both theories suffer from an inability to integrate the ethical and pragmatic dimensions of foreign policy. Liberal policy makers often suffer from moral blindness and a tendency toward coercion in the international arena, whilst realists tend to be epistemic sceptics, incorporating Nietzsche’s thought, directly or indirectly, into their theories. Mark Gismondi seeks to resolve the issues in these two approaches by adopting a covenant based approach, as described by Daniel Elazar’s work on the covenant tradition in politics, to international relations theory.
The covenant approach has three essential principles:
policy makers must have a sense of realism about the existence of evil and its political consequences power must be shared and limited liberty requires a basis inshared values. Ethics, Realism and Liberalism in International Relations will be of interest to students and researchers of politics, philosophy, ethics and international relations.

ISBN-10 / ASIN:025321906X
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780253219060

Book Description:
In Legal Pragmatism, Michael Sullivan looks closely at the place of the individual and community in democratic society. After mapping out a brief history of American legal thinking regarding rights, from communitarianism to liberalism, Sullivan gives a rich and nuanced account of how pragmatism worked to resolve conflicts of self-interest and community well-being. Sullivan's view of pragmatism provides a comprehensive framework for understanding democracy, as well as issues such as health care, education, gay marriage, and illegal immigration that will determine its character in the future. Legal Pragmatism is a bold, carefully argued book that presents a unique understanding of contemporary society, law, and politics.

A Democracy Is Born: An Insider's Account of the Battle Against Terrorism in Afghanistan
By Matthew J. Morgan
Publisher:Praeger Security International General Interest-Cloth
Number Of Pages:184
Publication Date:2007-09-30
ISBN-10 / ASIN:0275999998
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780275999995
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
In October 2004, more than eight million citizens of Afghanistan turned out to vote in the first democratic election in the turbulent, 5,000-year history of the country. This incredible voter turnout in the face of horrific threats and actual bullets, rockets, and bombs was a shout of defiance and a significant setback to the former Taliban regime and their al Qaeda allies. It was a stunning success and serious step forward for the Afghan people and for the United States in the campaign against international terrorism. The change is more dramatic than the American Revolution, in the aftermath of which the new American democracy maintained a representative form of government similar to its British roots. The change is also more positive than the French Revolution, which degenerated into tyranny and anarchy. The Afghan Revolution of democratic governance, albeit aided and guided by international military and political powers, is thus one of the most historic events of our time. Written by a former U.S. Army intelligence officer, this book provides readers with a candid account of Afghanistan's first presidential election and its subsequent transition to democratic self-governance. In particular, Morgan speaks to the security apparatus and the measures protecting the election. The election's security process marked a defeat for the al-Qaeda and Taliban terrorist insurgents attempting to frustrate Afghanistan's transformation into a democratic nation. Morgan's narrative of Afghan development is interspersed with firsthand, personal accounts from the author's eleven-month deployment as an officer serving in the U.S. military in Afghanistan. His stint there, embedded within the United Nations in a civilian-clothes role, enables him to write from the perspective of a UN security officer, offering insights beyond those that might be gained on the battlefield.

Tolerating Terrorism in the West: An International Survey
By NOemi Gal-Or
Publisher:Routledge
Number Of Pages:196
Publication Date:1991-08-22
ISBN-10 / ASIN:0415024412
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780415024419
Binding:Library Binding
Product Description:
Tolerating Terrorism in the West investigates the impact of terrorism on Western liberal democratic societies and governments, and establishes whether there are any fixed patterns of behavior and response. The contributors show that a discrepancy exists between the moral condemnation of terrorism and the political responses taken to combat it, and that this discrepancy indicates a level of tolerance towards terrorism in liberal democracies. This contention forms the focal point of this timely and informative study.
A group of contributors from a range of disciplines examine the relationship of terrorism to society and government, showing that there are a variety of responses to terrorism. These responses range from opposition to support for terrorist causes, and the contributors view this plurality of attitudes as the strength of the liberal democratic system of government. In their correct balance between tolerance and repression, liberal democracies safeguard both the rights of the individual and the security of the collective.

Terrorism and International Law
By R. Higgins
Publisher:Routledge
Number Of Pages:400
Publication Date:1997-01-24
ISBN-10 / ASIN:0415116066
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780415116060
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
This book is the first to address in one volume the wide variety of responses to terrorism as they exist in both international and domestic contexts. It also represents the first ever comprehensive collection of documents referring to terrorism which are to be found in the laws of the UK and France as well as in international law.
Terrorism and International Law comprises contributions by thirteen well-known authorities in the areas of international, French and UK law, and is divided into four main sections: international cooperation against terrorism, the French and British responses to terrorism, the limits of state action and a documentary supplement. The contributors have sought to show how international and domestic law can be used together to combat the muti-faceted problems which terrorism raises. The issue of human rights is also discussed with particular reference to the jurisprudence of the European Commission and Court of Human Rights. The fourth documentary section of the book provides coverage of international treaties, UN resolutions, UK and French legislation, case-law and official statements relating to terrorism.

Terrorism and Collective Responsibility (Points of Conflict)
By Taylor Wilkins
Publisher:Routledge
Number Of Pages:172
Publication Date:1992-03-26
ISBN-10 / ASIN:041504152X
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780415041522
Binding:Paperback
Product Description:
Terrorism and Collective Responsibility is the first full-length examination of terrorism written by a philosopher. In this controversial study, Burleigh Taylor Wilkins relates terrorism to the problem of collective responsibility, and makes the provocative claim that terrorism may be morally justifiable under certain circumstances.
Wilkins suggests that the popular characterization of terrorists as criminals does not take into account the reasons that terrorists resort to violence, and maintains that terrorism should be distinguished from "ordinary" criminal activity. Wilkins discusses various models of collective responsibility, and relates terrorism to the just war tradition. Central to the book is the author's claim that terrorism cannot be understood apart from the problem of the collective responsibility of organized groups, such as political states, for wrongdoings committed against the groups which the terrorists represent.
Original in its thesis and timely in its examination of an issue crucial to today's world, this book will appeal to anyone interested in the moral issues surrounding terrorism.
