The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) articulates what has now become a global norm. CEDAW establishes the moral, civic, and political equality of women; women's right to be free from discrimination and violence; and the responsibility of governments to take positive action to achieve these goals. The United States is not among the 187 countries that have ratified the treaty. To explain why the United States has not ratified CEDAW, this book highlights the emergence of the treaty in the context of the Cold War, the deeply partisan nature of women's rights issues in the United States, and basic disagreements about how human rights treaties work.

This collection of essays critically evaluates the legal framework necessary for the use of autonomous ships in international waters. The work is divided into three parts:Part 1 evaluates how far national shipping regulation, and the public international law background that lies behind it, may need modification and updating to accommodate the use of autonomous ships on international voyages. Part 2 deals with private law and insurance issues such as collision and pollution liability, salvage, limitation of liability and allocation of risk between carrier and cargo interests. Part 3 analyses international convention regimes dealing with maritime safety and other matters, arguing for specific changes in the existing conventions such as SOLAS and MARPOL, which would provide the international framework that is necessary for putting autonomous ships into commercial use. The book also takes the view that amendment of international conventions is important in the case of liability issues, arg

From the Emmy-nominated TV writer and New Yorker contributor, a totally new, virtuosic form of memoir: a reconstruction of a beloved grandmother's words and wisdom to tell her family's story with equal parts poignancy and hilarity Bess Kalb saved every voicemail her grandmother Bobby Bell ever left her. Bobby was a force--irrepressible, glamorous, unapologetically opinionated. Bobby doted on Bess; Bess adored Bobby. Then, at ninety, Bobby died. But in this debut memoir, Bobby is speaking to Bess once more, in a voice as passionate as it ever was in life. Recounting both family lore and family secrets, Bobby brings us four generations of indomitable women and the men who loved them. There's Bobby's mother, who traveled solo from Belarus to America in the 1880s to escape the pogroms, and Bess's mother, a 1970s rebel who always fought against convention. But it was Bobby and Bess who always had the fiercest bond: Bobby her granddaughter's fiercest supporter, giving Bess unequivocal love,

走過戰後重建與經濟起飛，台電始終是支撐臺灣發展的電力供應者。在點亮每一盞燈火的同時，台電亦守護著電力場域周遭的自然生機。面對全球對生物多樣性的關注，台電在確保穩定供電的使命下，同步落實棲地保育，讓穩定電力與環境和諧共生。台電響應聯合國《生態多樣性公約》（ Convention on Biological Diversity，CBD ）提出的「30×30 」目標，從電力工程規劃開始，就納入生態友善思維。以「迴避、縮小、減輕、補償」作為行動框架，始於工程藍圖落筆之前，也延伸至廠房之外。不僅是台電在規劃端的主動事前布局，更進一步攜手在地民眾、學者和各界團體共同推進，實踐台電許下的長期承諾。台電也以影像記錄這些生態保育的努力，《台電80　生態共融》紀錄片涵蓋陸、海、空場域，從大甲溪發電廠馬鞍壩區域打造的生態魚道、長居於萬大發電廠中的霧社血斑天牛與臺灣大豆、明潭發電廠悉心繁育的魚池琴蛙、協和發電廠周邊海域數十年如一日的珊瑚復育，以及興達發電廠旁永安濕地對黑面琵鷺等水鳥的長期守護等。台電幾十年來與生態共存的歷程，跨越物種與地景，也讓外界看見那些人跡罕至的電力管制場域，如今已成為無數生命棲居的家園。台電在今（ 115 ）年迎來重要里程碑：大甲溪發電廠馬鞍壩區域與萬大發電廠通過我國「其他有效保育措施之區域」（ Other Effective Area-BasedConservation Measures，OECMs ）陸域認證，象徵電力場域正式納入生物多樣性保育版圖。這不僅是對台電多年努力的肯定，更是對未來更高標準的承諾。走過80 年歲月的台電仍持續學習，在每一項工程決策中，同時兼顧供電與生態全面規劃，與自然互相配合、互相扶持，結合生態資料、累積數據與豐富影像，見證電力場域中的生態脈動，不只是「永續電力供應者」，更是積極實踐的「友善環境行動者」。

本研究將從單一國地方分權概念出發，共計兩大篇：上篇為全觀之論述，探究地方自治的本質；其次，法國、英國、紐西蘭均為單一國體制。前兩者更是老牌民主國家，卻在1980年開始，都邁向了地方分權，透過憲法、法律與「憲政慣例」(la convention constitutionnelle)賦予地方自治團體更多的權限與財源。紐西蘭受到英國殖民影響，卻不像其他前英殖民地建立聯邦制，維持單一國，三國的基本體制與我國相近，更值得借鏡其經驗；下篇將則聚焦於我國單一國體制的地方自治體系。本研究將先借重英法等國之經驗，嘗試解釋我國現行地方自治的本質；尤其是分析我國憲法中單一國體制帶有聯邦主義的起源。最後，我國1990年代修憲之後，已將「省縣為主」的地方制度改換為以「直轄市為主」。因此，應該更重視直轄市的地位與法制，做為推動我國強化國際競爭力的火車頭，並且給予其適合的憲法地位。此外，以直轄市的自治法規做為具體觀察標的，了解地方自治團體依法行政的模式，最後做出本研究的結論。 21世紀的國際趨勢是單一國體制下地方分權，尋求中央與地方之間的權限與財務的平衡區間。
