Regional Imaginations of Peace: The Work of the Rio Committee and the Antecedents of the Pact of Bogota (1942–1947)

Abstract This contribution re-describes the work of the Rio Committee in international law concerning dispute settlement in the Americas between 1942 and 1947. The work of the Rio Committee constitutes a crucial doctrinal and institutional experience that underpins the fundamental transformations experienced in Pan-Americanism considering the meeting of the Ninth International Conference of American States in Bogota, Colombia, in 1948, which led to the creation of the Organization of the American States. As an antecedent to the adoption of the Pact of Bogota in 1948, the doctrinal work of the Rio Committee and its draft treaties allow for a substantive interrogation of the complex relationship between regionalism and universalism in international law. More specifically, this article assesses the ways in which mechanisms of peaceful settlement of disputes in the Americas were accommodated under the universal legal framework of the United Nations, opening space for regional cooperation to continue evolving in the continent.

Legal Consequences Of The Icj's Decision In The Nicaragua V. Colombia Case On The Pact Of Bogota

International agreements in the practice of diplomatic relations are an important aspect. Where in its implementation, the role of international agreements in international law is based on the fact that international law mostly consists of international treaties. One example of an international treaties is the Pact of Bogota. The Pact of Bogota is the United States Agreement on the Settlement of the Pacific region signed by the independent American republics that gathered at the Ninth International Conference of American States in Bogota, Colombia. One of the member countries of this pact is Nicaragua and Colombia. The International Court of Justice from November 19, 2012, based on the Pact of Bogota agreement. The issue raised by the author is related to the decision of the international court in deciding cases between Nicaragua and Colombia based on the Pact of Bogota with the consideration that Colombia had withdrawn from the Pact of Bogota before Nicaragua filed a lawsuit to the International Court of Justice, namely on November 27, 2012.

Mayfly taxonomy (Arthropoda: Hexapoda: Ephemeroptera) during the first two decades of the twenty-first century and the concentration of taxonomic publishing

The twentieth anniversary of the first issue of Zootaxa (De Moraes & Freire, 2001) provides an appropriate opportunity to reflect on some trends in global Ephemeroptera taxonomy publishing over the last two decades, with a focus on the description of new species and the outsized role of the journals Zootaxa and ZooKeys, in particular. Detailed reviews of world Ephemeroptera knowledge up to about 2000 were collected in a series of nine papers from a symposium on the subject, published together in the proceedings of the ninth International Conference on Ephemeroptera (Domínguez 2001). Domínguez & Dos Santos (2014) provided updates and analysis for South America up to the year 2012. More recent detailed accounts of regional and taxonomic diversity, and other aspects of mayfly biology and ecology, were reviewed by Jacobus et al. (2019), while Ogden et al. (2019) discussed current issues involving higher classification. 

Energy Decay and Stability of a Perfectly Matched Layer For the Wave Equation

In Grote and Sim (Efficient PML for the wave equation. Preprint, arXiv:1001.0319 [math:NA], 2010; in: Proceedings of the ninth international conference on numerical aspects of wave propagation (WAVES 2009, held in Pau, France, 2009), pp 370–371), a PML formulation was proposed for the wave equation in its standard second-order form. Here, energy decay and $$L^2$$ stability bounds in two and three space dimensions are rigorously proved both for continuous and discrete formulations with constant damping coefficients. Numerical results validate the theory.

Ninth International Conference on Fine Particle Magnetism Preface

During the past 25 years since the first International Conference on Fine Particle Magnetism (ICFPM), held in Rome in 1991, there have been many developments in the methods for preparing fine particles, for characterizing them, and for implementing them in various applications. In 1991, research was focused on relaxation phenomena, spin glasses, remanence curves, and quantum tunneling. In 2016, the focus was on Néel vs. Brownian relaxation, “super” spin glasses, first order reversal curve analyses, functionalization of nanoparticles, biological applications, and implementation of fine magnetic particles in spintronic devices.

Preface

The Ninth International Conference on Inertial Fusion Science and Applications (IFSA) was held on September 20-25, 2015 at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue on Seattle’s Eastside, Washington, U.S.A. The event was hosted by the University of California and was organized by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It brought together more than 370 participants from 16 countries.The goal, as for all previous IFSA Conferences, was to bring together scientists in the fields of inertial fusion science and high-energy-density physics, and their applications. Three hundred twenty seven papers were presented emphasizing the science of high-energy and high-intensity laser, pulsed-power, and particle-beam interactions with matter, the associated high-energy-density physics, and their application to fusion concepts. Results presented included theory, modeling, and experimental results from facilities worldwide.In recent years, significant advances have been made in high-energy-density science using lasers, Z-pinches, and particle beam systems with dramatic technical achievements in areas such as central-hot-spot ignition, fast and impulse ignition, material properties at extreme conditions, warm dense matter, particle acceleration and laser-plasma interactions. For the first time in the laboratory, x-ray driven ignition experiments, performed at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in the United States, have exhibited self-heating. In the month following the Conference, the first plasma experiments were performed at Laser Mégajoule (LMJ) in France, and ignition scale projects are under way in China and Russia. Other approaches, such as magnetic compression on the Z-machine at Sandia National Laboratories and direct drive experiments at the University of Rochester, have produced exciting new results which were reported on at the Conference.Second-generation petawatt short-pulse laser systems such as the highest-energy petawatt laser systems LFEX (FIREX) in Japan, OMEGA-EP in the United States, PETAL in France, and Vulcan PW in the United Kingdom, have allowed the study of novel approaches to producing and probing high-energy-density matter and exploring alternative ignition schemes. These scientific studies contribute to the physics understanding needed to develop inertial fusion energy as a commercial energy source and were also reported on at the Conference.Third-generation rep-rated and high-energy petawatt lasers are coming on line for strong field science studies and have opened up a new field of relativistic plasma physics. The extreme states achieved in these laser-plasma interactions are relevant to high-intensity x-ray applications, material processing, novel accelerators, and laboratory astrophysics.Recent activities and research in all these fields were discussed in 327 presentations, including three Keynote lectures, two Teller lectures, 21 plenary talks, 135 orals, and 166 posters. The proceedings collected in this volume underwent a rigorous peer-review process. The Editor is thankful to all the authors who agreed to act as referees on papers written by their fellow authors, and who worked both hard and diligently to complete this task in record time. We also thank the Technical Program Committee members who helped make this Ninth IFSA Conference possible.The American Nuclear Society Teller Award was bestowed during IFSA2015 on two key contributors to ICF science, Hiroshi Azechi and Jie Zhang. In addition, prizes were awarded to four students for their excellent presentations.On behalf of the various Committees, we extend our appreciation to everyone who helped make IFSA2015 a great success.
