A criminal act is an act that is prohibited by law and is subject to sanctions. Not all acts that violate the provisions of the law can be punished, as contained in article 49 of the Criminal Code, which has been sentenced to a criminal sentence. A person who is a victim of a criminal act of tampering in the proximity of a criminal act who commits an act of defense is not sentenced. The type of research used is normative legal research. An act of defense that cannot be subject to punishment, the law applicable to article 49 of the Criminal Code in which a criminal act is committed in a threatening situation or an attack at that time, such as a victim of tampering himself, a judge as a law enforcer who examining and deciding an action can see evidence of the perpetrator's actions of self-defense which meet the elements of defense, the judge also considers the reasons of the perpetrator which can mitigate especially the perpetrator who is defending himself To law enforcement officials, judges in defending offenders who pay more attention to someone who is doing it so that justice can be created.

Full textAbstract:
The core of this article consists of a critical rethinking of the classical “see-judge-act” methodology of liberation theology. The article contends that this method threatens to install a dualism between a universal, secular experience of oppression and a Christian interpretation of it, thereby creating a hierarchical relation that reduces the complexity of the experience of poverty. The author investigates this issue by focusing on liberation theology's understanding of the “preferential option for the poor” (part 1) and the way in which the see-judge-act methodology affects this understanding (part 2). The article gradually moves on to alternative epistemologies, starting with a discussion of a hermeneutical approach (C. Boff and Schillebeeckx) and the method of “historicization” (Ellacuría), and eventually proposing a new phenomenologically and materially informed methodology for liberation theology that is called “cartography” and is grounded in a “new materialist” metaphysics as articulated by Deleuze, Braidotti, and Barad (part 3).

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This essay is a bi-disciplinary effort in applied ethics by a theologian and an economist who both share the convictions of the Christian faith and wish to demonstrate the significance of this faith for the vexing question of economic inequality. Following the see- judge- act- model often used in public theology, it examines first conceptual matters in order to define economic inequality and undertake a limited descriptive task to get a clearer empirical picture of what economic inequality entails. There is then a moral assessment of economic inequalities (“judge”) where ethically acceptable and objectionable aspects of inequality from the economic and theological perspectives are distinguished. From these perspectives, this essay concludes with possible interventions and actions (“act”) to reduce morally unacceptable forms of economic inequality and scope for co-operative efforts between economics and public theology in this area.

In the shadows of the current tensions that frames our digital spaces, this paper explores how teaching for the practice of dignity of persons and digital discipleship can be act as an effective religious educational response to cyberbullying. Imploring a theoretical approach with a practical theological analysis drawn out of Catholic church teachings and discourse on the dignity of persons and discipleship, this paper offers an understanding of digital discipleship and dignity of persons specifically formed for responding to attacks on human dignity like that of cyberbullying through the use of the practical pedagogical method of ‘see, judge, and act.’

Full textAbstract:
When an Article III federal judge concludes their active service on the bench, she effectively abdicates her seat and enables the president and Senate to choose her successor. Some judicial scholars argue that political factors motivate this decision. More recent scholarship, however, provide strong evidence that judicial pensions largely explain how long a judge maintains active status. By comparison, political and institutional factors do not have a meaningful effect. At the same time, judges, when ending active status, remain on the bench as senior judges notwithstanding the small financial incentives to chose it over full retirement. Taken together, judges’ behave rationally, while at the same time exhibiting strong institutional commitment to the federal bench.

Full textAbstract:
High courts differ in the processes for choosing who sits on the court, the size and composition of panels, and the cases the court hears. Once the case is before the court, a judge may also be influenced by the parties that appear in the appeal. This chapter examines this influence. The government, for example, tends to be more successful in many cases than other parties. This success may be due, for example, to the government having more resources than other parties or being a repeat player in front of the court. Further, judges seem to at least be modestly influenced by interveners, who are not actually the parties to the appeal but seek to provide additional information. Judges appear to consider the information provided by the interveners in some contexts, though the presence of interveners also appears connected to an increase in the probability of a judge dissenting.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines how judges are influenced not only by formal rules of how the court is to arrive at decisions, but also by norms of decision-making. It discusses the existence and strength of norms of consensus on different courts. Courts vary to a surprising extent in the size and causes of disagreement amongst judges. The two most extreme cases in our sample are the US Supreme Court, with over half of the cases having at least one dissent, and the Indian Supreme Court where only about 5 percent of cases involve a dissent. We find evidence that, depending on the country, a judge is influenced in whether she dissents by policy differences with other judges and her own workload. However, a judge’s decision to dissent also appears related to the background norms of whether it is acceptable to dissent, and the leadership of the chief justice or president of the court.

Full textAbstract:
To act akratically is to act, knowingly, against what you judge is best for you to do, and it is traditionally assumed that to do this is to be weak-willed. Some have rejected this identification of akrasia and weakness of will, arguing that the latter is instead best understood as a matter of abandoning one’s reasonable resolutions. This paper also rejects the identification of akrasia and weakness of will, but argues that this alternative conception is too broad, and that weakness of will is best understood in relation to certain kinds of pain and pleasure. Moreover, the phenomenon of strong-willed akrasia, cases in which a person must exhibit strength of will to do precisely what she judges she should not do, suggests that strength of will is an executive virtue, and that being weak-willed is just one way (among others) in which a person can fail to manifest this virtue.

This chapter details events following Mancini's break with Blake Edwards. While the break was a private event that seemed to put his future career into a state of flux, Mancini sensed a chance to advance, an opportunity in the making, when a phone call reached him at that songwriting contest in Rio. It was Paramount Studios calling. They had been bankrolling a gritty film about the 1876 Irish coal miners' strike in Pennsylvania called The Molly Maguires (1970), and the project was in trouble. The film was being judged too monotone and grim, while the music was deemed too little, too light, casting the drama into doubt. The studio' thought was that with a little more color in the score, and especially a firmer sense of musical drama, the whole momentum of the film might be lifted. And from Mancini's point of view this was just the breath of fresh air that this composer-in-transition had wanted. Almost immediately on finishing The Molly Maguires, Mancini would receive another surprise call from even further afield, announcing that the great Italian neorealist director Vittorio De Sica and the great producer Carlo Ponti wanted to work with him in the film I Girasoli (1970), soon to take the American title Sunflower.

This chapter examines Hecuba's emphasis on the abuse of power and its consequences. In its depiction of rage, Hecuba exposes the ramifications of people in power failing to respect any obligations toward the powerless. The play reminds its audience that democratic decision making, by empowering individuals, simultaneously requires individuals to take responsibility for their actions and to learn to judge and to choose to do what is best. The chapter also explains how Hecuba enables the audience to see that every violent act will produce further violence. The characters call this “justice,” but the audience cannot. In addition, the play insists that morality can be unlearned and stresses the gratuitous cruelty and suffering that human beings inflict on one another.

If the accused pleads not guilty, then, unless the prosecution chooses to offer no evidence, a trial must be held. There are now limited exceptions to the general rule that trial on indictment must be by judge and jury (see Chapter 19). Subject to those exceptional situations, a jury must be empanelled (or, more colloquially, sworn in). The law concerning juries is contained chiefly in the Juries Act 1974, which is denoted in the remainder of this Chapter by the letters JA. The relevant procedure is covered in CrimPR, rr 25.6 to 25.8 and 26.1 to 26.5. Further guidance is to be found in Criminal Practice Directions VI Part 26. Blackstone’s Criminal Practice 2019 D13 and D19 covers the law relating to juries in detail.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Despite the modest involvement of Latin American and Caribbean bishops in the council, the impact of Vatican II in the continent proved decisive for the so-called new post-conciliar identity of the Latin American Church. Based on the theological/pastoral methodology of Catholic Action (See, Judge, Act), which fostered the interpretation of the signs of the times, popular ecclesial practices produced innovative results such as the adoption of the option for the poor, the establishment of ecclesial base communities, the practice of popular readings of the Bible, the development of a social pastoral care, and liberation theology itself. The ‘emergence of the poor’ is regarded as the major event of these decades. Key aspects in the reception of conciliar ecclesiology are expressed in the continental experience of episcopal collegiality (CELAM), the creation of ecclesial base communities, and the Church’s self-understanding as the people of God.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, various reforms have aimed to increase the scope of pre-trial proceedings in the Crown Court. The underlying aim is to enable the judge (preferably the one who will preside at trial but, if that is not possible to ensure, one of the other judges who are available at that Crown Court centre) to start the business of managing the trial before it begins. That means that the parties must supply information as to the issues and the way in which they intend to conduct their case; and that the judge must act upon that information by making any orders which seem necessary in order to assist the efficient conduct of the trial.

This book takes up the problems that we run into when we judge works of art to be morally good or bad. This might seem like an unserious thing to do. In public discourse, such judgments are often born of prejudice or are mere devices for political scapegoating. For example, former senator Jesse Helms’s attacks on the alleged immorality of Mapplethorpe’s photography seem to have been grounded in his hatred and fear of gays and lesbians; leaders of the National Rifle Association routinely raise moral concerns about violent video games as means to distract people and to undermine public support for gun control. We ought not to take such moral judgments very seriously....

Full textAbstract:
This short chapter recapitulates the main conclusions of the previous chapters. The preceding chapters taken together support a moderate skepticism with regard to how we evaluate art morally. Artworks in themselves are rarely appropriate objects of moral evaluation. We should not judge artworks as though they were people. Art might sometimes affect us—either our character or our understanding—but these effects can be hard to see, and they can be good or bad. Our engagement with art can also affect our relationships with others in our affective communities, and these effects can matter too. However, the arguments thus far doesn’t tell us much about what these moral evaluations of art come to or how they matter. The second part of the book, which starts in Chapter 6, takes up these larger questions.

Discrimination thresholds in various directions from a standard color stimulus s0 are represented by an ellipsoid in the (x, y, Y) space or, when the luminance Y is kept constant, by an ellipse on the chromaticity diagram. It has been a tradition since MacAdam (1942) to define thresholds by fluctuation of repeated color matchings under the assumption that the distribution of colors indiscriminable from s0 is 3-D or 2-D normal fN(s). This procedure cannot be applied to painted color samples and the discrimination ellipsoid around s0 is defined through paired comparisons of s0 and sj, where sj's are a set of prepared samples, j = 1, 2,…, n. As to method of obtaining an ellipsoid from these data, the situation is chaotic. Indow and Morrison (1991) proposed a procedure that is an extension of the method of constant stimuli for uni-dimensional stimulus continuum. Denote by Pj the rate that sj is judged different from s0 where sj differs from s0 in various directions Λ = 1, 2,…, n.

Full textAbstract:
The Uranium mining and milling activities in Eastern Germany before reunification produced more than 232 000 t of U. Following reunification, £ 6.6 billion were committed to remediation of the left behind liabilities. The inventory of the liabilities comprises operations areas (37 km2), waste rock dumps (311 M m3), tailings (160 M m3), an open pit (84 M m3) and five large underground mines (1.53 M m3). The specific activities are 0.5 to 1 Bq/g for the waste rock, 10 Bq/g for the tailings, up to 500 Bq/g for the water treatment residues and 0.2 to 1 Bq/g for scrap metal. The remediation of the risk associated with this inventory is carried out by WISMUT GmbH. The legal framework of the remediation is set by the Federal Mining Act, the Atomic Act, the Radiation Protection Ordinance and the Water Resources Management Act. The large number and variety of objects that release contaminants at very different rates require, remedial measures to be planned and optimized in an integral way for each site. The integration is done on the basis of Conceptual Site Models (CSM). The CSM helps to balance among the objects the remedial effort, the allocation of resources and allows to flexibly adapt remedial measures to the site/object-specific conditions while maintaining conceptual consistency and focus on the overall remediation goals without compromising essential details. The remediation necessity of individual objects or areas is investigated, justified and the type of remedial measures selected on the basis of Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Studies (RI/FS). In the RI/FS the calculated individual effective dose to the public caused by the object/area in the nonremediated and remediated state is compared with the reference level of 1 mSv per year. Based on RI/FS contaminated areas are remediated either for unrestricted or for restricted use. Waste rock piles are remediated by covering in situ, by relocation and/or by backfilling into an open pit. Currently, approximately 40,000 tons of waste rock are backfilled into a pit per day. Backfilling follows a geochemically optimized placement procedure. In cases where the remediation object was judged vulnerable, remediation was supported by risk assessment. A probabilistic risk assessment was used to justify the dry remediation of the tailings ponds. Technically, the most challenging part of dry tailings remediation is the stabilization of the soft, under-consolidated slimes having a high excess pore water pressure and very low shear strengths. Because total cleanup and relocation of contaminants are not always feasible, the remediation is commonly done by covering of the contaminated object or area, i.e. by confinement. The covers used are either barrier covers that limit infiltration by having a low permeability layer incorporated or an evaporative cover which maximizes infiltration storage till it is removed by evapotranspiration. The largest sources of contaminant release are the discharges from flooded mines and from dewatering of the tailings ponds. Discharge rates vary from 30 m3/h to 1000 m3/h. Because the contaminants load in the discharging mine water decreases with time causing the conventional water treatment to become uneconomic, various alternative water treatment technologies are tested at WISMUT to identify suitable and cost efficient replacement options. Considerable amounts of contaminated debris and scrap metals arise from decommissioning and demolition of the structures. The aim is to categorize and recycle the uncontaminated portion of the scrap metal. The categorization of the scrap metal into contaminated and uncontaminated is by measuring the beta-count rate in the field. To improve the selectivity of the field monitors, specially prepared standards reflecting the operational history of the metal at the particular site are used to calibrate the instruments. Approximately £ 3.9 billion were invested into the remediation by end of 2002. A rough calculation of the specific costs of WISMUT remediation when using re-assessed total costs turned out to be approximately £ 22.6 per kg of U3O8 produced. Considering that this sum includes the indirect costs, the specific remediation costs appear in an international comparison very reasonable.

Full textAbstract:
Aiming for zero — zero leaks, zero ruptures, zero third party damage hits, zero-harm to the public may be considered by some to be unrealistic, but it is definitely a goal worth chasing. Striving for this level of perfection is key in achieving pipeline operational excellence and avoiding operational mediocrity. Central to safe operations is a pipeline integrity management plan (IMP) that establishes processes for assessing and mitigating risk within a framework structured to ensure the long-term integrity of pipeline system assets. When properly implemented in compliance with regulation and industry practice, an IMP will reduce both the likelihood and consequences of incidents. It remains the cornerstone in the management of pipeline risk and safety performance and is critical in preventing system failures, injuries, property damage, and other serious consequences. But a sustainable process for managing risk and improving performance must go beyond relying on regulatory compliance and following generic industry practices. In this respect, too often IMPs are judged only from a compliance perspective that provides little insight into how well the IMP is being executed or whether the management systems are actually effective. Integrity management can also be examined in context of the larger corporate culture and with the specific corporate processes that impact employees’ decisions and behaviors in ways that transcend procedures printed in a manual. A culture of adherence to compliance as an ultimate goal can lead to complacency, and a company cannot achieve a zero incident level adhering only to regulations. The focus on meeting regulatory requirements should be replaced by an integrated broader view on risk management derived in part from emerging industry best practices and standards. Benchmarking against these standards can establish a performance baseline, identify opportunities for improvements, set targets, measure performance, and instill a continuous improvement process. An approach to assess the degree to which an IMP is regulatory compliant, technically adequate, implemented and effective is to apply a “Plan,” “Do,” “Check,” “Act” (PDCA) based approach. This framework, while confirming basic regulatory compliance, also allows an operator to determine the degree to which the IMP is being executed in alignment with corporate management system objectives and accepted best practice guidelines relating to the 4 P’s — “People, Process, Product and Performance.” When applied as the basis for an extra stage “E” review, this PDCA process helps determine the health and risk-reducing “effectiveness” of the IMP through application of record reviews, subject matter expertise, supporting personnel interviews, industry consensus standard benchmarking and assessment of lagging and / or leading indicators as follows: • Are the workflows required to satisfy IMP objectives and the corresponding personnel accountabilities clearly defined? • Are technical procedures in place to meet IMP objectives and satisfy IMP work flow requirements? • Are the procedures adequate, up to date and readily available to integrity management personnel? • Have the procedures been effectively implemented? • Are records indicating work flow process completion available? • Is a management of change process embedded within the procedure and work flow process? • Is there a process to receive input from personnel to provide suggestions for continuous improvement? • Is the IMP as structured and implemented in alignment with corporate management system and enterprise risk management objectives? • Is the IMP effective in reducing pipeline risk and providing a sound and defensible basis for risk-based decisions and investment planning? Traditional integrity management provides focus on assessing risks and addressing those risks through mitigation activities, while ensuring compliance with laws and regulations designed to continually improve safety. The challenge today is to go beyond determining if an IMP is simply in compliance. An effective risk management system is one where there is a strong safety culture; decisions at all levels of the organization are based on an understanding and consideration of risks; there is continuous monitoring of risk levels and adjustment of responses; and continuous improvement is embedded in the procedures and processes.

Although many people now have access to more accumulated information than has ever been the case in human existence, we also now face a moment when the proliferation of misinformation, or false or inaccurate information, poses major challenges. In response to these challenges and to build collaboration across disciplines and expertise and a more effective community of learning and practice, the Rita Allen Foundation partnered with RTI International and the Aspen Institute along with Craig Newmark Philanthropies, Democracy Fund, and Burroughs Wellcome Fund to hold the Misinformation Solutions Forum in October 2018 at the Aspen Institute in Washington, DC. This forum brought together academic researchers, technology professionals, data scientists, journalists, educators, community leaders, funders and a set of graduate student fellows to explore promising ideas for curbing the spread of misinformation. We issued an open call for ideas to be featured in the forum that sought interventions focused on reducing behaviors that lead to the spread of misinformation or encouraging behaviors that can lead to the minimization of its influence. Interventions with technological, educational, and/or community-based components were encouraged, as were projects involving science communication, public health and diverse populations. A panel of expert judges assessed submissions through a blind review process; judges included representatives from the Rita Allen Foundation, as well as external institutions such as the Democracy Fund, the National Institutes of Health, the Poynter Institute, First Draft, and academic institutions. Authors developed the essays presented here based on both original submissions and the iterative collaboration process that ensued.

Full textAbstract:
This paper reviews methods that have been suggested by the development literature on diagnostics. We subdivide the variety of diagnostics into three types: revealing the most binding constraints to economy-wide growth; selecting sectors in which to diversify; and identifying sources of sectoral underperformance. Each diagnostic method is judged on whether it: provides a structured way of performing diagnostics; directs analysts towards the right questions; and is efficient in its use of data and resources. After reviewing a variety of methods, we argue that, with respect to growth diagnostics, the best approach is to combine Hausmann’s, Rodrik and Velasco’s Growth Diagnostics with more encompassing and forward-looking methods. In sectoral selection, Hausmann and Hidalgo’s 'Product Space' analysis can serve as an adequate base for choosing sectors in which to diversify, but this method must be tempered by a much more diverse set of indicators that matter for sectoral choice. Finally, diagnostics at the sectoral level can be performed through a sequence of methods: starting from easily collectable perceptions data and progressing to more data-heavy techniques, depending on the time and resources available.

TANG, Denise Tse-Shang, Stefanie TENG, Celine TAN, Bonnie LAM, and Christina YUAN. Building inclusive workplaces for lesbians and bisexual women in Hong Kong’s financial services industry. Centre for Cultural Research and Development, Lingnan University, April 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.14793/ccrd2021001.
Full textAbstract:
Workplace inclusion is a core component of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Hong Kong. Workplace inclusion points to the need for employers to recognize diversity among employees, to acknowledge their contributions to the work environment and to raise professional standards for the work force. Diversity within a workplace indicates inclusion of persons with different backgrounds as in racial, ethnic, sex, health status, sexual orientation and gender identity. Women are already less represented at senior levels across various business sectors in Hong Kong. Lesbians and bisexual women face a double glass ceiling in the workplace as a result of both their gender and sexual orientation. Funded by Lingnan University’s Innovation and Impact Fund, and in partnership with Interbank Forum and Lesbians in Finance, Prof. Denise Tse-Shang Tang conducted an online survey and two focus groups targeting lesbians and bisexual women working in Hong Kong’s financial and banking industry. The aim of the study is to examine the specific challenges and barriers faced by lesbians and bisexual women in Hong Kong’s financial services industry. We found that only 37% of survey respondents were out at work, with 23% partially out to close colleagues. In other words, there are still key concerns with being out at work. On the issue of a glass ceiling for LGBT+ corporate employees, 18% of the survey respondents agreed and 47% somewhat agreed that such a ceiling exists. When asked whether it is harder for lesbians and bisexual women to come out in the workplace than it is for gay men, 32% agreed and 46% somewhat agreed. 27% agreed and 39% somewhat agreed with the statement that it is difficult for lesbians and bisexual women to climb up the corporate ladder. Other findings pointed to the low visibility of lesbians and bisexual women in corporate settings, lack of mentorship, increased levels of stress and anxiety, and the fear of being judged as both a woman and a lesbian. Masculine-presenting employees face significantly more scrutiny than cisgender female employees. Therefore, even though discussion on diversity and inclusion has been on the agenda for better corporate work environment in Hong Kong, there still remain gaps in raising awareness of lesbian and bisexual women’s issues.

Lewis, Dustin. Three Pathways to Secure Greater Respect for International Law concerning War Algorithms. Harvard Law School Program on International Law and Armed Conflict, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.54813/wwxn5790.
Full textAbstract:
Existing and emerging applications of artificial intelligence in armed conflicts and other systems reliant upon war algorithms and data span diverse areas. Natural persons may increasingly depend upon these technologies in decisions and activities related to killing combatants, destroying enemy installations, detaining adversaries, protecting civilians, undertaking missions at sea, conferring legal advice, and configuring logistics. In intergovernmental debates on autonomous weapons, a normative impasse appears to have emerged. Some countries assert that existing law suffices, while several others call for new rules. Meanwhile, the vast majority of efforts by States to address relevant systems focus by and large on weapons, means, and methods of warfare. Partly as a result, the broad spectrum of other far-reaching applications is rarely brought into view. One normatively grounded way to help identify and address relevant issues is to elaborate pathways that States, international organizations, non-state parties to armed conflict, and others may pursue to help secure greater respect for international law. In this commentary, I elaborate on three such pathways: forming and publicly expressing positions on key legal issues, taking measures relative to their own conduct, and taking steps relative to the behavior of others. None of these pathways is sufficient in itself, and there are no doubt many others that ought to be pursued. But each of the identified tracks is arguably necessary to ensure that international law is — or becomes — fit for purpose. By forming and publicly expressing positions on relevant legal issues, international actors may help clarify existing legal parameters, pinpoint salient enduring and emerging issues, and detect areas of convergence and divergence. Elaborating legal views may also help foster greater trust among current and potential adversaries. To be sure, in recent years, States have already fashioned hundreds of statements on autonomous weapons. Yet positions on other application areas are much more difficult to find. Further, forming and publicly expressing views on legal issues that span thematic and functional areas arguably may help States and others overcome the current normative stalemate on autonomous weapons. Doing so may also help identify — and allocate due attention and resources to — additional salient thematic and functional areas. Therefore, I raise a handful of cross-domain issues for consideration. These issues touch on things like exercising human agency, reposing legally mandated evaluative decisions in natural persons, and committing to engage only in scrutable conduct. International actors may also take measures relative to their own conduct. To help illustrate this pathway, I outline several such existing measures. In doing so, I invite readers to inventory and peruse these types of steps in order to assess whether the nature or character of increasingly complex socio-technical systems reliant upon war algorithms and data may warrant revitalized commitments or adjustments to existing measures — or, perhaps, development of new ones. I outline things like enacting legislation necessary to prosecute alleged perpetrators of grave breaches, making legal advisers available to the armed forces, and taking steps to prevent abuses of the emblem. Finally, international actors may take measures relative to the conduct of others. To help illustrate this pathway, I outline some of the existing steps that other States, international organizations, and non-state parties may take to help secure respect for the law by those undertaking the conduct. These measures may include things like addressing matters of legal compliance by exerting diplomatic pressure, resorting to penal sanctions to repress violations, conditioning or refusing arms transfers, and monitoring the fate of transferred detainees. Concerning military partnerships in particular, I highlight steps such as conditioning joint operations on a partner’s compliance with the law, planning operations jointly in order to prevent violations, and opting out of specific operations if there is an expectation that the operations would violate applicable law. Some themes and commitments cut across these three pathways. Arguably, respect for the law turns in no small part on whether natural persons can and will foresee, understand, administer, and trace the components, behaviors, and effects of relevant systems. It may be advisable, moreover, to institute ongoing cross-disciplinary education and training as well as the provision of sufficient technical facilities for all relevant actors, from commanders to legal advisers to prosecutors to judges. Further, it may be prudent to establish ongoing monitoring of others’ technical capabilities. Finally, it may be warranted for relevant international actors to pledge to engage, and to call upon others to engage, only in armed-conflict-related conduct that is sufficiently attributable, discernable, and scrutable.

Monitoring of macro-level family planning quality of care indicators. Population Council, 1998. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1998.1045.
Full textAbstract:
The success of population development in Indonesia can be seen partly from success in reducing population growth. Population growth has declined from 2.32 percent (1971–80) to 1.98 percent (1980–90), and then to 1.66 percent (1990–95). The continued slowing of population growth is expected to bring expanded opportunities for economic development and improved quality of life. The success of family planning (FP) programs cannot be judged solely on reduction of population growth but should also be judged in terms of quality of care (QOC) and success in helping women achieve their reproductive goals. The Indonesian National Family Planning Coordinating Board (BKKBN) has acknowledged the need for improved QOC and continuous quality improvement to increase satisfaction among clients. At the national level, there is a need to monitor quality of contraceptive services to ensure efficient use of government resources and evaluate the extent to which the Indonesian FP program has provided information and services of adequate quality. In this report, the value of five selected macro-level QOC indicators is discussed to highlight potential usefulness to program planners and managers in their efforts to improve quality of FP care.
