Jean-François Blanchette. Burdens of proof
: cryptographic culture and evidence law in the age of electronic documents.
MIT Press, 2012. K2269.5.B58 2012 The
gradual disappearance of paper and its familiar evidential qualities affects
almost every dimension of contemporary life. From health records to ballots,
almost all documents are now digitized at some point of their life cycle,
easily copied, altered, and distributed. A technology guaranteeing the
authority of electronic documents would appear an essential tool of the
digital age, which is why there is so much to learn from the failure to
develop one. In Burdens of Proof, Jean-François Blanchette examines
the challenge of defining a new evidentiary framework for electronic
documents, focusing on the design of a digital equivalent to handwritten
signatures. |

Child
rights : the movement, international law, and opposition / edited by
Clark Butler. Purdue University Press, 2012. K639.C45
2012 Over twenty years after the 1989 UN
General Assembly vote to open the Convention on the Rights of the Child for
signature and ratification by UN member states, the United States remains one
of only two UN members not to have ratified it. The other is Somalia. Child
Rights: The Movement, International Law, and Opposition explores the
reasons for this resistance. It details the objections that have arisen to
accepting this legally binding international instrument, which presupposes
indivisible universal civil, political, economic, social, and cultural
rights, and gives children special protection due to their vulnerability. The
contributors to the book reveal the significant positive influence that the
CRC has had, despite not being ratified, on subjects such as educational
research, child psychology, development ethics, normative ethics, and
anthropology. |
