Opening remarks by Angela E.V. King Assistant Secretary-General and Special Adviser on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women at the Panel Discussion on "Fair Representation: the ICC Elections and Women" United Nations Church Centre 29 January 2003, 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. Madam moderator, Distinguished panellists, Ladies and gentlemen, The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, [which entered into force on 1 July 2002, is significant in a number of ways. It requires that in its “application and interpretation of law”, the Court “must be consistent with internationally recognized human rights, and be without any adverse distinction founded on grounds, such as [inter alia] gender as defined in Article 7, paragraph 3 [of the Statute]”. It] establishes jurisdiction to try crimes of sexual violence, such as rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution and forced pregnancy, as crimes against humanity when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed at any civilian population. The Statute calls for a fair representation of female and male judges and the inclusion of judges with legal expertise on specific issues, including violence against women and children. As Special Adviser on Gender Issues, promoting gender balance and the appointment of women to high-level posts have been among the main priorities of my work in the United Nations and its agencies. It is indeed a major achievement that the need for gender balance has been recognized in the Statute. The Statute also makes provision for the application of gender-sensitive justice, including victim and witness protection measures. [Also of major significance is that the Rules of Procedure and Evidence of the Court aim to ease the burden of testifying and seek to protect, support and provide for the counselling of victims and witnesses in prosecutions.]

UPDATE: House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration's report on the proposed Regulations under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act 23 April 2002 The federal government has, for the past year, been working on a complete revision of Canadian immigration law. The Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network has closely monitored the developments, and has participated in consultations with lawmakers and government officials at every step. Last June, the Network published "HIV/AIDS and Immigration: Final Report," which provided a review of Canadian and international practice, analyzed proposed changes, and made recommendations for future policy and practice. The Network also participated in public consultations on Canada's new Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. The act has now been passed but will only come into effect once the regulations, which provide details about how the Act is to be implemented, are finalized. On 5 February 2002, the Network presented a brief on the proposed regulations before the House of Commons Committee on Citizenship and Immigration. Recently, the Committee released its report consisting of recommendations to the Minister on changes that ought to be made to the Regulations and things that should be borne in mind by officials when implementing the new law. As a witness before the Committee, the Network made numerous suggestions, many of which were adopted by the Committee.

Ethics Forum Answers to questions on ethical issues in medical practice ... SEE ARCHIVES Scenario: What is proper treatment of mental health patients facing criminal charges? Recently, a psychiatric patient was accused of causing the death of a bystander by pushing her in front of a train. Assuming that the patient has received some treatment since the incident, is it ethical for a physician to suspend therapeutic medication so that a jury can witness the extent of a patient's impairment at the time of the incident? Reply: In responding to the question, a brief historical review is useful. A patient's right to refuse psychiatric treatment has evolved as a matter of public policy and state statutes. Historically, voluntary patients have always had the right to refuse treatment. Patients committed involuntarily, however, as a result of their commitment status, did not enjoy the same freedom of choice. In fact, such considerations were a nonissue in the bygone humanitarian era of

ITI Home • Legal Issues • The Case of Dmitry Sklyarov by Stephanie Ardito really expected that a civilian would be arrested and criminally prosecuted by the U.S. government. Leading Up to Action, Arrest (http://www.elcomsoft.com) , posted a press release announcing the sale of a software program called Advanced eBook Processor (AEBPR), which removes encryption coding from Adobe Acrobat PDF files and Adobe Acrobat eBook Reader software. In part, the press release stated: Advanced eBook Processor lets users make backup copies of eBooks that are protected with passwords, security plug-ins, various DRM (Digital Rights Management) schemes like EBX and WebBuy, enabling them to be readable with any PDF viewer, without additional plug-ins. In addition, the program makes it easy to decrypt eBooks and load them onto PalmPilots and other small, portable devices. This gives users—especially users who read on airplanes or in hotels—a more convenient option than using larger notebooks with limited battery power to read their eBooks. PDF protection can prevent users from changing or printing information, adding or changing annotations and form fields, or even selecting and copying text or graphics. With Advanced eBook Processor, these PDF files can be decrypted, opened, and used without any of these restrictions. Once protection has been removed, PDF files created with Adobe's Acrobat program can be opened in any PDF viewer, including Adobe's Acrobat Reader.

Public Interest Initiatives Home Violence Aging Healthy Adolescents Project ... Publications Professional, Ethical, and Legal Issues Concerning Interpersonal Violence, Maltreatment, and Related Trauma A report of the ad hoc Committee on Legal and Ethical Issues in the Treatment of Interpersonal Violence Table of Contents Introduction Section IV: Collateral Issues Section I: Professional roles Section V: Forensic Psychology ... Section III: Treatment This introduction provides a brief review of the issues faced by psychologists working in the areas of interpersonal violence. The problem includes the perception of a harassing backlash against psychologists who have been involved in interpersonal violence cases and issues. In particular, some psychologists who work with child or elder maltreatment, spousal / partner battering, and adults who recall memories of childhood abuse have been targets or personal and organized harassment. The forms of harassment have included personal threats and picketing of offices, media campaigns, as well as ethic and licensing board complaints and lawsuits. Psychologists who find themselves subjected to a nuisance or unsubstantiated grievance may experience vulnerability, loneliness, PTSD symptoms, or professional and financial consequences. They often experience isolation and secondary traumatization. Our committee was particularly concerned with various organized efforts developed to help alleged perpetrators of interpersonal violence and others pursue board actions, ethics complaints and nuisance lawsuits against psychologists who have served as therapist, forensic evaluator, expert witness, or client advocate for victims of interpersonal violence. Templates to file such complaints have been developed by various groups. In addition, our committee was concerned about the negative perceptions portrayed in the media and among consumers about psychologists and psychotherapy. Such perceptions could have far reaching implications for policy and practice. For example, malpractice insurance carriers may attempt to deny converge to psychologists working with clients who have experienced various forms of interpersonal violence.
