Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special Agent Ming McCann is a no-nonsense gal. She may be tough-as-nails and competitive as hell, but she likes her silk sheets and expensive wine. She's a collector of fine things, so she has to wonder. . . What the hell was the Pentagon was thinking when they assigned her Major Lee Blackhart? Lee is a charming rogue, used to living life on the edge, and his needs are simple-a fast car, a beautiful woman, and a bottle of Jack Daniel's. His exploits with women are legendary and yet he still manages to have them lined up outside his door. Lee could have his pick of any one of them. . . But the one he really wants is Ming.When they're forced to work undercover together on an operation that takes them from Baghdad to Moscow, the unlikely pair find they also seem to work together under the covers. Will the country-music-loving, red-corvette-driving rascal succeed in capturing the heart of a woman whose taste runs more to chardonnay, BMWs, and Manolo Blahniks? Or will Ming's win-at-all-costs decision destroy the trust between them?

Download or read book Unofficial United States Guide to the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 written by Theodore Richard and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions ("AP I") is central to the modern law of war, widely referred to as international humanitarian law outside the United States. It updates the Geneva Conventions for protection of war victims and combines them with new or updated rules governing hostilities and the use of weapons found in the Hague Regulations Respecting the Laws and Customs of War. Due to its comprehensive nature and adoption by a majority of States, AP I is frequently cited as the source for law of war rules by attorneys and others interested in protecting humanitarian interests. The challenge for United States attorneys, however, is that their country is not a party to AP I and has been a persistent objector to many of its new rules.While the United States signed the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions in 1977, it determined, after 10 years of analysis, that it would not ratify the protocol. President Reagan called AP I "fundamentally and irreconcilably flawed."1 Yet, as will be detailed throughout this guide, United States officials have declared that aspects of AP I are customary international law. Forty years after signing AP I, and 30 years after rejecting it, the United States has never presented a comprehensive, systematic, official position on the protocol. Officials from the United States Departments of Defense and State have taken positions on particular portions of it. This guide attempts to bring those sources together in one location.

Download or read book Protocol written by Capricia Penavic Marshall and published by Ecco. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: President Obama's former White House chief of protocol looks at why etiquette and diplomacy matter--and what they can do for you. History often appears to consist of big gestures and dramatic shifts. But for every peace treaty signed, someone set the stage and provided the pen. As social secretary to the Clintons for eight years, and more recently as chief of protocol under President Obama, Capricia Penavic Marshall has not just borne witness to history, she facilitated it. For Marshall, diplomacy runs on the invisible gesture: the micro moves that affect the macro shifts. Facilitation is power, and, more often than not, it is the key to effective diplomacy. In Protocol, Marshall draws on her experience working at the highest levels of government to show how she enabled interactions and maximized our country's relationships, all by focusing on the specifics of political, diplomatic, and cultural etiquette. By analyzing the lessons she's learned in more than two decades of welcoming world leaders to the United States and traveling abroad with presidents, first ladies, and secretaries of state, she demonstrates the complexity of human interactions and celebrates the power of detail and cultural IQ. From selecting the ideal room for each interaction to recognizing gestures and actions that might be viewed as controversial in other countries, Marshall brings us a master class in soft power. Protocol provides an unvarnished, behind-the-scenes look at politics and diplomacy from a unique perspective that also serves as an effective, accessible guide for anyone who wants to be empowered by the tools of diplomacy in work and everyday life.

Book excerpt: Welcome back to the International Security Protocols Workshop. Our theme for this, the 14th workshop in the series, is “Putting the Human Back in the Protocol”. We’ve got into the habit of saying “Of course, Alice and Bob aren’t really people. Alice and Bob are actually programs running in some computers.” But we build computer systems in order to enable people to interact in accordance with certain social protocols.

Download or read book Individual Duty within a Human Rights Discourse written by Douglas Hodgson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades or so, legal literature has devoted much attention to various human rights issues at both the national and international levels. Yet there has been comparatively little written on the concept and importance of individual duty within the human rights discourse. This book attempts to comprehensively and systematically examine the corollary of human right - the principle of individual duty - from a number of different perspectives, including history, the law (principally international human rights and humanitarian law and national constitutional law), philosophy, jurisprudence, religion, and ethics. The author attempts to demonstrate that a greater emphasis upon individual duties is consistent with a cultural relativist critique, natural law theory, the experience of national legal systems and regional human rights systems, certain socio-political philosophies and conventional sociological postulates, and the dictates of good public policy. The author urges the assignment of a greater, indeed revived, role for the principle of individual duty in order to achieve a more salutary balance between rights and duties and in the relationship between individual freedom and the welfare of the general community.
Download or read book International Marine Mammal Law written by Nikolas Sellheim and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Marine Mammal Law is a comprehensive, introductory volume on the legal regimes governing the conservation and utilisation of marine mammals. Written as a textbook, it provides basic overviews of international conservation law, which enable the reader to understand the greater implications of governance of a specific group of species. Paired with biological information on some marine mammal species, the international regimes for whales, seals and polar bears are explored — either as part of global regimes of international environmental governance or as regimes that were specifically designed for them. The book concludes with outlooks on the future of international marine mammal law, particularly in light of Japan’s withdrawal from the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling in July 2019.
