Moral Implications in the Stories of Bharathiyar

India is a repository of stories. The stories are mostly in the spoken language of the people. The origin of the stories in Tamil is very old. There is not enough evidence to define its origin, but it can be traced back to the time of the Tolkappiar. It can be seen that Mahakavi Bharathi was also adept at the creation of stories and at the same time his stories were intended to convey the influences of moral values. Moreover, it is possible to see that stories are based on ideas about the people who traveled with them during the period in which they lived and the people they have seen. In Bharathiyar's stories, there is much to be seen in that true events are presented in the form of stories without imagination. It can be seen that Bharathiyar is seen from a slightly different point of view from other writers. Bharathiyar's stories are designed to illustrate the principles of justice that are applicable to all times. He has elaborated on the ethical considerations for personal development. His specialty is that he has set up stories in a very simple style without too much empty fiction. In this way, the purpose of this article is to highlight that Bharathiar’s stories are stories based on individual morality with the common good intention of promoting morality among the people

A critical examination of the relationship between the International Criminal Court and the United Nations Security Council, in the light of referrals and deferrals

Includes bibliographical references.The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (Rome Statute) provides for a close relationship between the International Criminal Court (Court) and the United Nations Security Council (Security Council). This relationship is demonstrated through Security Council exercise of referrals and deferrals. This dissertation discusses first, the Security Council referrals of the situations in Darfur, Sudan and Libya. Second, the Security Council passing of resolutions 1422(2002) and 1487(2003), which deferred the Court from commencing any investigations or prosecuting of any crimes that could have arisen as a result of the United Nations peacekeeping operations. This dissertation argues that the Security Council has exercised referrals and deferrals contrary to the Rome Statute, the Charter of the United Nations (the Charter), and the Negotiated Relationship Agreement between the Court and the Security Council (Relationship Agreement) as envisaged by the drafters of the Rome Statute. It concludes by stating that, the relationship between the Court and the Security Council is at a crossroad because the latter has failed to exercise referrals and deferrals in the manner provided for in the Rome Statute and as envisioned during the drafting of the Rome Statute, thereby equating the Court to the proverbial bark of a toothless dog

La revolución bolivariana y su impacto en Colombia

Con la asunción de Hugo Chávez a la primera magistratura de Venezuela en febrero de 1999, el país ha experimentado una serie de cambios radicales, que revisten una importancia determinante para Colombia. El pasado 3 de diciembre, Chávez fue reelegido con el 62,8% de los votos, en comicios caracterizados por la polarización de la sociedad. Podría pensarse que el porcentaje obtenido le otorga al presidente un margen de maniobra suficiente para entablar una nueva fase de la denominada Revolución Bolivariana, el establecimiento del Socialismo del Siglo XXI. El propósito del siguiente texto es dar luces sobre los alcances del proceso en lo doméstico y su impacto sobre Colombia. En primer término, se hará un breve repaso de la historia contemporánea venezolana desde el establecimiento del Pacto de Punto Fijo en 1958, toda vez que sobre ella reposan las justificaciones aludidas por Chávez para llevar a término los cambios estructurales producidos en Venezuela bajo su administración. En segundo lugar, se analizarán los principales cambios acontecidos a la luz del Proyecto Nacional Simón Bolívar, que condensa los principios ideológicos de la revolución, así como su impacto sobre Colombia. Finalmente, se examinará el efecto que podrá tener en el futuro, la nueva fase socialista para nuestro país
