    Seeking to fight past discrimination in their city, the city council of Richmond, Virginia created a program that required 30% of all municipal contracts go to Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs). In 1989, the J.A. Croson Company challenged the program, after not receiving a contract because of the MBE program, arguing it violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The court ruled in favor of the Croson Company stating, “While there is no doubt that the sorry history of both private and public discrimination in this country has contributed to a lack of opportunities for black entrepreneurs, this observation, standing alone, cannot justify a rigid racial quota in the awarding of public contracts in Richmond, Virginia.” Justice…

    In the earlier days women and African Americans had no rights to school, work or any other type of socialization. They were brought into slavery, housewives and had no rights as an individual. This included people with disabilities (even those with MMR classification) because they were, “viewed as nonproductive and expandable.” (Gollnick & Chinn, pg. 181, 2013) The rights we have today as women, African Americans, and those disabled are because of results that came about from case laws.…

    The court investigates the allegations of Nicaragua that the mining on the Nicaraguan waters was because of the U.S. military personnel of the nationality of Latin American countries in the pay of the U.S. After identifying the facts, the court establishes that in late 1983 the president of the U.S. authorized their government agency to dig mines in the Nicaraguan ports. In early 1984, mines were close to the ports of El Buff, in Nicaraguan internal waters or in its territorial sea, by people following the instructions from that agency. The U.S. agents were supporting and supervising the minning and they did not say anything before or after about the laying of the mines. That personal and material injury was caused by the explosion of the mines, which also created risks causing a rise in marine insurance rates. The court says that it is impossible to say that a ruling on the alleged breach of the Charter by the U.S. wouldn’t affect El Salvador.…

Most generally jurisdiction is understood as the power of the State to regulate affairs pursuant to its laws.1 Controversial issues may arise when offence assumes international aspect which can cause conflict between jurisdictions of the countries. In each of the preceding bases of jurisdiction there must be a material link between the state asserting jurisdiction and the crime.
