Provisional Arrest and Incarceration in the International Criminal Tribunals
This article examines the widely ignored but important issue regarding the provisional arrest and detention of persons suspected of having committed international crimes by international or internationalized courts. The paper examines the pioneer case law and practice of the United Nations International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, as well as the emerging practice of the permanent International Criminal Court, to evaluate how these courts have generally addressed the rights of these individuals to due process and freedom from arbitrary arrest and detention before prosecutors seek formal charges against them.
The authors argue that while the early international jurisprudence established apparently strong legal standards to preserve the rights of suspects, using doctrines such as abuse of process, these courts have generally failed to offer the meaningful remedies required to resolve manifest violations of such fundamental human rights by the detaining authorities. The article offers preliminary recommendations on how, going forward, the rights guaranteed to suspects allegedly involved in the worst crimes known to law in international(ized) courts may be better protected

The relations between volume ratios and new concepts of gl constants
In this paper we investigate a property named GL(p,q) which is closely
related to the Gordon-Lewis property. Our results on GL(p,q) are then used to
estimate volume ratios relative to , , of unconditional
direct sums of Banach spaces
Rosenthal operator spaces
In 1969 Lindenstrauss and Rosenthal showed that if a Banach space is
isomorphic to a complemented subspace of an L_p-space, then it is either a
script L_p-space or isomorphic to a Hilbert space. This is the motivation of
this paper where we study non--Hilbertian complemented operator subspaces of
non commutative L_p-spaces and show that this class is much richer than in the
commutative case. We investigate the local properties of some new classes of
operator spaces for every which can be considered as operator
space analogues of the Rosenthal sequence spaces from Banach space theory,
constructed in 1970. Under the usual conditions on the defining sequence sigma
we prove that most of these spaces are operator script L_p-spaces, not
completely isomorphic to previously known such spaces. However it turns out
that some column and row versions of our spaces are not operator script
L_p-spaces and have a rather complicated local structure which implies that the
Lindenstrauss--Rosenthal alternative does not carry over to the non-commutative
case

A New Agenda for User Participation: Reconsidering the Old Scandinavian Prescription
A considerable degree of user participation is found in current system development and implementation projects i Scandinavia. Obviously, there is a strong belief in the necessity of user participation. Still, practitioners and researchers face severe problems in defining the right way of involvement. Still, there is a lack of convincing empirical evidence concerning the rela tionship between user participation and systems success. In this article we argue that participation is of little use if the agenda excludes organizational issues. If only technical options are discussed, fundamental problems in the organization may remain unsolved.
Partly based on empirical findings from a comparative Danish study, this article analyzes how participation may change with the changing relations between user, user organization and IS-professionals. We find that the useful ness of participation is highly dependent on user type and organizational function. Different projects require different agendas and participants. In some cases indirect users are the most important when it comes to fundamen tal improvements, and they are often excluded from participation.
We propose a framework that explicitly focuses on the process from problem to issue on the agenda and we conclude that it is time to change the agenda for user participation. To help in clarifying the emerging roles of users and IS-professionals, the research agenda may be changed as well
