First of three articles By Dana Priest Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, July 12, 1998; Page A01 On the day before Pakistan exploded five underground nuclear bombs in May, while President Clinton was urgently warning leaders in Islamabad that an atomic test would bring worldwide isolation, the U.S. military was quietly pursuing its own agenda just outside the Pakistani capital. At the Army general command at Rawalpindi, officers from both countries finished plans to bring together 60 American and 200 Pakistani special operations forces for small unit exercises outside Peshawar near Afghanistan and for scuba attacks on mock targets in Mangla Lake, on the edge of the contested mountain region of Kashmir. "Inspired Venture," as the exercise is called, is still scheduled for August, despite U.S. sanctions imposed in retaliation for the nuclear blasts. Since 1993, similar ventures between the U.S. and Pakistani militaries have also sidestepped earlier sanctions by Washington designed to punish the country for its nuclear program.

Friday, February 14, 2003 Peru New Peruvian legislation assures public that terrorists will not be freed New anti-terrorist legislation in Peru assures the Peruvian people that no person shall be set free who has been verifiably convicted of the crime of terrorism. The new legislation comes after a decision by the Constitutional Tribunal to nullify the military trials of 410 cases of treason, and to send them to public courts as cases of terrorism. Fausto Alvarado of the Department of Justice stressed that these changes will be completed within the requirements of the Interamerican System of Human Rights. He promised that Peru will inform the Interamerican Commission on Human Rights of the changes to the antiterrorist laws. (From Editora Peru February 13, 2003)

The United States has announced that it would detain upwards of 500 captured fighters and has been screening persons taken into custody by Afghan forces. Those implicated in criminal acts, including violations of international humanitarian law and crimes against humanity, should be prosecuted by tribunals in Afghanistan or elsewhere that meet international fair trial standards.

Note to readers: The author, Edwin V. Woodsome, is an attorney representing Unocal in the Doe v. Unocal case. Download or print the text of the presentation (pdf format) Corporate Liability for Conduct of a Foreign Government: The Ninth Circuit Adopts a "Reason to Know" Standard for Aiding and Abetting Liability ORAL PRESENTATION by Edwin V. Woodsome, Esq. to the Loyola Law School International Law Symposium February 8, 2003 INTRODUCTION The most significant recent development of international law is the Ninth Circuit decision in Doe v. Unocal , a case in which Paul Hoffman and I are adversaries. The Ninth Circuit ruled that Unocal may stand trial for the conduct of the Myanmar military under an international aiding abetting theory. In October we filed a petition for panel rehearing and rehearing en banc. That is still pending four months later. The decision is startling in that the Ninth Circuit adopted an aiding and abetting standard that does not require the showing that a private actor such as Unocal either controlled the foreign military or intended the wrongful conduct to occur. (* 48-49) The opinion can be read to say that corporations with a "reason to know" of human rights violations by the host country can be enough to satisfy the mens rea element for aiding and abetting liability. The Ninth Circuit is unclear as to the range of conduct that can amount to sufficient assistance and encouragement to satisfy the actus rea. For example, in the Unocal case the Ninth Circuit reversed summary judgment although TotalFinaElf, not Unocal, was the operator of the project and Unocal is simply an investor.

History of Tables of Distribution and Allowances (TDA) Units .  During the early years of the twentieth century, although no line units above the regimental level were authorized except during wartime, the Army staff began planning for higher-level organizations in the event of war.  Tables of organization were included in Field Service Regulations, published in 1905, for both line regiments and for echelons above the regimental level, i.e. divisions, corps, and field armies.  Units above the regimental level continued to be manned provisionally.  Tables of organization, similar to those in use today, were first published in 1914. .  Tables of organization and tables of allowances (equipment) were published separately until 1943, when they were consolidated as tables of organization and equipment (TOEs).  Tables of allowances were also published for installations, schools, departments, etc., and in 1936 the term "table of distribution" was adopted for the document that authorized personnel for such units.  In 1943 the tables of distribution and tables of allowances were also consolidated into tables of distribution and allowances (TDAs). .  TDA units are organized to perform specific missions for which there are no appropriate TOEs and are discontinued as soon as their assigned missions have been accomplished.  Unlike TOE units, TDA organizations are considered non-deployable, even when organized overseas, as their missions are normally tied to a geographic location.  The personnel of TDA organizations can be military, civilian, or a combination of both.  In some instances, provisional-type units have been organized under TDAs until suitable TOEs were established.  Examples are some of the mobile army surgical hospitals (MASHs) and a ranger company organized in Korea during the Korean War.  When the Army developed TOEs, the TDA organizations were discontinued.

The government's failure to expediate the trial of about 20 senior military and police officers as well as former provincial officials accused of gross human rights violations in East Timor has drawn international criticism and continues to be a stumbling block for the resumption of U.S. military assistance to Indonesia. An ad hoc tribunal, established by Indonesian President Megawati Soekarnoputri last year, has thrice postponed the controversial trial which was first scheduled to open last September and is now slated to commence sometime this month" "This process has taken quite some time and we are anxious that the case will be processed this month," Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda told a press conference.

Requirements Police Officer Nature of Work National Certification State Credentialing Additional Information Nature of Work Duties vary widely by the size and type of organization, but in most jurisdictions, whether on or off duty, law enforcement officers are expected to exercise their authority whenever necessary. Police officers who work in small communities and rural areas have general law enforcement duties. In the course of a day's work, they may direct traffic at the scene of a fire, investigate a burglary, or give first aid to an accident victim. In large police departments, by contrast, officers usually are assigned to a specific type of duty. Most officers are detailed to patrol a designated area to prevent crime. Patrols generally cover an area such as business districts or outlying residential neighborhoods. Officers may work alone, but in large agencies they usually patrol with a partner. They identify, pursue, and arrest suspected criminals, resolve problems within the community, and enforce traffic laws. Officers are becoming more involved in community policing, building partnerships with the citizens of local neighborhoods and mobilizing the public to help the police fight crime.

In many parts of the world, however, despite the best efforts of the international community, that respect is still lacking. The maintenance or restoration of peace is the paramount task of the United Nations Security Council. It decides what action is appropriate to achieve that goal and where necessary may mandate peace missions. Since its founding the United Nations has carried out/mandated more than 50 peace missions. With the adoption of the Agenda for Peace in 1992 and the changes incorporated in 1995, the sharp distinction between intra-State conflicts on the one hand and transnational conflicts on the other was dropped. This was a groundbreaking development, yet also one with considerable potential for conflict ("interference in a country's internal affairs"). Given the current broad concept of security, security may be threatened both by other countries or by inter-ethnic tensions, for example), the main focus today is on a multidimensional approach to resolving conflicts. In concrete terms, that means the international community acts not only to defuse conflicts ("conflict prevention") before they escalate into armed hostilities but also, once hostilities have ceased, to develop and consolidate democratic structures ("peacebuilding").
