The return of the body snatchers

Article Abstract:

General Manuel Noriega was captured by American forces in a military operation in Panama. He was head of state and commander-in-chief of the Panamanian armed forces. The US alleged he had committed drug offences, albeit outside the state wishing to try him. Increasingly, states extend their jurisdiction outside international standards. Use of universal authority over inhumane criminals is growing, but the methods of law enforcement used violate the sovereignty of other states and breach the UN Charter. International law requires that no right should arise from a wrong, so the Panamanian government could protest to the US Court of Appeals.

How Colonel Gaddafi put one over on the Foreign Office

Article Abstract:

Libyan handling of the Lockerbie aircraft bombing has elicited support from African and Islamic nations, while the behavior of the US and United Kingdom has given rise to criticism. Libya arrested two suspects in connection with the bombing, and offered to permit them to be interviewed in a neutral location by officials from the UK and US. The US and UK secured a mandatory resolution from the Security Council of the United Nations (UN) which was a special law only applicable to Libya. No evidence has been produced against Libya and the suspects, and the move has undermined the credibility of the UN.

Invasion of the body snatchers; misuse of bodies donated for medical research may be more common than was thought

Article Abstract:

There are 39 institutions in the UK which hold a licence to use donated bodies for research and teaching. Some 800 people donate their body to medical science every year. There is growing concern about the security of dead bodies in medical colleges, and it is feared that this may deter people from deciding to donate their body for medical research. In a recent case, a former employee of the Royal College of Surgeons was arrested on charges of removing body parts destined for anatomical research.
