Repeatability of the Pentacam HR in Various Grades of Keratoconus
Measurement variability of Pentacam HR is of clinical relevance when assessing for progression of keratoconus. We provide reference repeatability values and scale independent analysis of relevant corneal parameters in keratoconus of varying degrees.
Toward a recalibrated human right to a clean and healthy environment: Making the conceptual transition
Despite many noble efforts to champion the right to a clean and healthy environment and related regulation, the official recognition and jurisdictional reach of this right is highly limited. It does not matter if it is understood as an entitlement derived from other substantive rights, as a substantive right autonomous unto itself, or as a cluster of procedural entitlements. Our highly decentralized and far too voluntarist international legal ord…

Alternative Security: Living without Nuclear Deterrence
Security Council Resolution 678 and Persian Gulf Decision Making: Precarious Legitimacy
In his recent book The Power of Legitimacy Among Nations, Thomas Franck defines “legitimacy” as it applies to the rules applicable among states . “Legitimacy,” he writes , “is a property of a rule or rule-making institution which itself exerts a pull toward compliance on those addressed normatively because those addressed believe that the rule or institution has come into being and operates in accordance with generally accepted principles of righ…

Lump Sum Agreements: Their Continuing Contribution to the Law of International Claims
Since there exists no international judicial system to adjudicate international claims in the ordinary course of events, individuals and business enterprises with grievances against a foreign country have looked, both jointly and severally, either to the “espousal” of their claims by their government—a discretionary act guaranteeing no ultimate redress—or, assuming their government has been able to negotiate a compromis with the foreign country i…

Toward Nuclear Disarmament and Global Security: A Search for Alternatives
International Lawlessness in Grenada
The Reagan administration’s arguments purporting to justify the invasion of Grenada under international law must not be allowed to inveigle the American people into supporting this violent intervention into the domestic affairs of another independent state. Throughout the 20th century, the U.S. Government has routinely concocted evanescent threats to the lives and property of U.S. nationals as pretexts to justify armed interventions into sister A…
The Charter of Economic Rights and Duties of States and the Deprivation of Foreign-Owned Wealth
In a parable drawn from The Trial , Franz Kafka once etched the following chilling profile: Before the Law stands a doorkeeper on guard. To this doorkeeper there comes a man from the country who begs for admittance to the Law. But the doorkeeper says that he cannot admit the man at the moment. The man, on reflection, asks if he will be allowed, then, to enter later. “It is possible,” answers the doorkeeper, “but not at this moment.” Since the doo…
Contending with a Planet in Peril: An Optimal Educational Response
The paper surveys the global scene and finds it in deep turmoil and heading toward what may eventually be disaster. It analyzes the causes of this and comes to the conclusion that the challenge is one of changing course by making profound transformations at every level and in all spheres to work toward the preferred world of the future that is anchored to the values of autonomy and dignity of the individual and of peoples, equality and justice as…
