ABM has been widely used to help policy developers in the public sector to understand how certain policy clauses will affect the behavior of individuals and whether the clauses will likely be accepted by the citizens. ABM can be used for open source investigation to help understand the spread of misinformation in certain networks as well as help understand the effect of various countermeasures.

...everything is possible for parties to create here, but the limit is the protection of the commercial flows. The insiders or professionals, especially banks and suppliers, can do what they like between themselves, create priority and ranking as suits them.

However, the outsider or bona fide purchaser and all buyers in the ordinary course of business of commoditized products buy free and clear of these charges and have no search duty, not...20 May Battlefield Robotics, a Very Brief Introduction
by a human in real time, but robots that are programmed with independent decision-making in the use of weapons. We are a long way from that point, if we ever actually reach it, and there can be lots of arguments that it is a line that should not be crossed. But there is no question that this is the direction of technological research. Part of the reason is that autonomous robot decisionmaking is not merely a feature of military research; it is a central proposition of robotic research generally, and...
14 Aug A Better World Emerging from the Crises
power rivalry and the beginning of American hegemony. There was no “peace dividend” because competition for Realists is forever. But competition requires competitors, so the search was on immediately for a new enemy; military spending continued, and so did NATO, though founded to defend Europe from a Soviet invasion. War games and weapons research never lagged. Since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. has experienced hardly a year without major combat, dragging NATO and other allies along. So much for victory. And, yet, this constructed world of competition...

[Meron Estefanos is an Eritrean journalist, author and human rights activist.] Introduction The last decade have witnessed an upsurge of Eritrean refugees taking to the Mediterranean Sea in search of a safety from repression and unlimited national service they are facing in their home country.

Out of desperation and...

...have committed this crime. Every state in the world is under an obligation (as set out in Article 146) ‘to search for persons alleged to have committed, or to have ordered to be committed, such grave breaches, and shall bring such persons, regardless of their nationality, before its own courts. It may also, if it prefers, and in accordance with the provisions of its own legislation, hand such persons over for trial to another High Contracting Party concerned, provided such High Contracting Party has made out a “prima facie” case.’...
15 Dec Justice as Message Symposium: Sending Out an SOS
...deterrence, but explores at length the expressive function, namely, this desire to communicate and the longing to be listened to. And, in turn, these messages become existential justifications to answer the age-old questions that haunt us all: why am I here? What difference do I make? And what footprints shall I leave? Carsten’s unpacking of expressivism is indeed a paean to ICL’s search for meaning. For or all those who write about ICL, well, it is an unpacking of whether we, too, are writing about something meaningful. In earlier work,...

...Taylor said the papers she had were legal documents and the alleged codes were innocent items, including Gaddafi’s nickname, which could be found by keying it in to an internet search engine. Second, concerning the Libyan’s blatant breach of attorney-client privilege: “Irrespective of any issues concerning my own personal conduct, the rights of my client, Mr Seif al-Islam, were irrevocably prejudiced during my visit to Zintan,” she said. “It is the position of the defence that these recent events have completely underscored that it will be impossible for Mr Gaddafi...
