Book Willful Blindness

Download or read book Willful Blindness written by Margaret Heffernan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “With deft prose and page after page of keen insights, Heffernan shows why we close our eyes to facts that threaten our families, our livelihood, and our self-image--and, even better, she points the way out of the darkness.” --Daniel H. Pink In the tradition of Malcolm Gladwell and Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Margaret Heffernan's Willful Blindness is a tour de force on human behavior that will open your eyes. Why, after every major accident and blunder, do we look back and say, How could we have been so blind? Why do some people see what others don't? And how can we change? Drawing on studies by psychologists and neuroscientists, and from interviews with business leaders, whistleblowers, and white collar criminals, distinguished businesswoman and writer Margaret Heffernan examines the phenomenon of willful blindness, exploring the reasons that individuals and groups are blind to impending personal tragedies, corporate collapses, engineering failures-even crimes against humanity. We turn a blind eye in order to feel safe, to avoid conflict, to reduce anxiety, and to protect prestige. But greater understanding leads to solutions, and Heffernan shows how-by challenging our biases, encouraging debate, discouraging conformity, and not backing away from difficult or complicated problems-we can be more mindful of what's going on around us and be proactive instead of reactive.

Book Mistake of Law

    Book Details:
  • Author : Annemieke van Verseveld
  • Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
  • Release : 2012-08-28
  • ISBN : 9067048674
  • Pages : 191 pages

Download or read book Mistake of Law written by Annemieke van Verseveld and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-28 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a perpetrator of an international crime argues in his defence that he did not realise that he had violated the law, is this a reason not to punish him? International crimes constitute serious offences and it could be argued that he who commits such an offence must know his act is punishable. After all, everyone is presumed to know the law. However, convicting someone who is mistaken about the wrongfulness of his act may be in violation of the principle ‘no punishment without guilt’. This book investigates when 'mistake of law' should be a reason to exculpate the perpetrator of an international crime. It demonstrates that the issue of 'mistake of law' goes to the heart of individual criminal responsibility and therewith contributes to the development of a more systematic approach toward the structure of international offences. Valuable for academics and practitioners in the field of International Criminal Law.

Book Wilful Misconduct in International Transport Law

Download or read book Wilful Misconduct in International Transport Law written by Duygu Damar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-07-17 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main rationale of the conventions on international transport law is to limit the liability of the carrier. However, an aspect common to these conventions is that in cases of "wilful misconduct" the carrier is liable without any financial limitation. "Wilful misconduct" denoting a high degree of fault is an established term in English law. The Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules relating to International Carriage by Air (Warsaw Convention) of 1929 was the first international convention on transport law where the term was employed. A definition of "wilful misconduct", which can be found in later conventions regarding carriage of goods and passengers as well, was implemented in the Hague Protocol of 1955, amending the Warsaw Convention. However, the question as to exactly which degree of fault constitutes "wilful misconduct" has to date remained controversial and unanswered. This work seeks to answer this question. To this end, the historical background of the term, together with its function and role in marine insurance law, case law and international transport law, are examined from a comparative perspective.

Book Is Bad Faith the New Wilful Blindness

Download or read book Is Bad Faith the New Wilful Blindness written by Jo Bac and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This books focus is on one particular corporate governance risk that arises from the similarities between traditional elements of a willful blindness cause of action and those of company directors bad faith. An essential aspect of any consideration of corporate governance is the role played by the directors of companies who might have been facilitating the wrongdoing, in part, by remaining willfully blind while falling foul of the good-faith obligation. This study investigates cross application of the doctrines of good faith and willful blindness in company law in Delaware, USA, in comparison with company law in England, UK, with relation to company directors conduct. Here is the argument that courts in both legal systems under a particular set of conditions and hearing cases of company directors falling foul of the good-faith obligation should consider whether the willful-blindness doctrine sheds light on the interpretation of company directors alleged misconduct. A positive consideration of this approach could expand the courts horizons to include the most apparent individuals, namely the company directors, to face liability concerns for corporate disasters.
