Extracting Accountability from Non-State Actors in International Law

Assessing the Scope for Direct Regulation

By: Lee James McConnell

The human rights of communities in many resource-rich, weak governance States are adversely affected, not only by the acts of States and their agents, but also by powerful non-State actors. Contemporary phenomena such as globalisation, privatisation and the proliferation of internal armed conflict have all contributed to the increasing public influence of these entities and the correlative decline in State power. This book responds to the persistent challenges stemming from non-State actors linked to extractive industries. In light of the intersecting roles of multinational enterprises and non-State armed groups in this context, these actors are adopted as the primary analytical vehicles. The operations of these entities highlight the practical flaws of existing accountability regimes and permit an exploration of the theoretical challenges that preclude their direct legal regulation at the international level. Drawing insights from discursive democracy, compliance theories and the Pure Theory of Law, the book establishes a conceptual foundation for the creation of binding international obligations addressing non-State actors. Responding to the recent calls for a binding business and human rights treaty at the UN Human Rights Council, and the growing influence of armed non-State actors, the book makes a timely contribution to debates surrounding the direction of future developments in the field of international human rights law.

Mississippi Gulf Coast Restaurants

Post Hurricane Katrina Stories, Recipes and More

By: Lee Eschler

August, twenty ninth, 2005, is a day that will forever be remembered by the citizens of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, for that was the day that changed our lives forever. Hurricane Katrina devastated our beautiful coast with her powerful winds, blinding rain and the highest storm surge, ever documented, in the history of the United States. This book is about many of our restaurants, along the coast, that were damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Each of theses restaurants share the history of how they came to be as well as their personal Hurricane Katrina story. They have also graciously agreed to share some of their most delectable recipes, and believe me you will want to try them all (preferably in their restaurants) Some of our local Mississippi Coast Residents shared their very favorite recipes with us as well. Though not originally from Mississippi, Lee & Linda call the Mississippi Gulf Coast home. Linda writes children's book, as well as adult fiction and Lee is the illustrator. They both enjoyed successful careers in Television and Print advertising, and most recently were employed as Special Project Managers with Books Are Fun, a Readers Digest Company. Linda's first book, Awakening Nicholas, was written under the pen name of Lindsay Delaney; since then she has written the first two installments in her Strawberry Fairy series titled The Strawberry fairies Save Sandcastle Island and The Strawberry Fairies and The Secret Of Mystery Island . The third installment, The Strawberry Fairies And The Treasures Of Pirate's Island will be released soon along with Willow House; a mystery that takes place in the city of Ocean Springs, Mississippi.

Flexibility and Design

Learning from the School Construction Systems Development (SCSD) Project

By: Joshua D. Lee

This book questions flexibility as a design approach by providing a longitudinal analysis of an innovative architectural experiment called the School Construction Systems Development (SCSD) project. The SCSD pioneered the use of performance specifications to create an open, prefabricated, and integrated system of building components that provided four modes of flexibility. Educational facilities throughout California used the SCSD system and it spawned a variety of similar projects throughout North America. This book traces the development and subsequent use of the system over 50 years through archival research, personal observations, re-photography, re-surveying, plan evaluations, interviews, and an advertisement analysis. These new findings provide useful insights for architects, educators, historic preservationists, and others about the affordances of spatial flexibility, the difficulties associated with technological transfer, the impact of unstable market conditions, the importance of user input during the planning process, and the need for long-term social relations to sustain architectural experiments.
