  • Terrorism and Saudi Arabia 
    El Morr, Elias (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2008)
    It is obvious that the events of September 11, 2001, triggered disputes about a detailed, comprehensive definition of terrorism. But there is still no unified or "universal" definition for terrorism. Such disputes will not result in an agreeable consensus and will make no notable benchmark towards the understanding of terrorism. This work tends to shed light on patterns, current trends and future threats of terrorism worldwide while stressing on the role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the negative and drastic effects and consequences it produces locally, regionally, and internation ...

  • Copyright protection for computer programs 
    El Sarnouk, André William (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2008-06)
    Globalization, nowadays, has reshaped many or most of the legal concepts humans thought of as indispensable. It has turned the globe into a small village, cutting down boundaries, and opening up channels which were inconceivable just a few years back. Free movements of knowledge, thought, inventions, technologies, creations, and ideas have become available to humanity. This research investigates, therefore, the scope of copyright protection of computer programs and their impact. There is no doubt that the modern technology use stretches the law which is sometimes slow to react. One legal ...
  • The right to resistance in occupied territories 
    Sfeir, Youssef T. (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2008-09)
    The writing of this thesis meets the obvious need for a general work on the law of armed conflict from its theoretical origins to the most recent political and legal developments. The title expresses one of the basic purposes of International Humanitarian Law, which is to provide, amid generalized barity of war, protection to civilians and those no longer taking part in the fighting, and even restrictions on the violent conduct between the combatants. Resistance movements in occupied territories have been accepted as a concept since WWII. However, the exact characteristics of these movements, ...

    Boutros, Wissam M. (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2012)
    The main focus of this thesis originates in the idealistic perspective of international affairs, emphasizing not just the states’ interactions but a diversity of domestic and transnational channels, organizations, and individuals. Idealism has held a unique conceptualization of international relations. Depending on the pillars of the global system, it’s interdependent and cooperative structure, and the integrative functionalism of international players. Hence, Idealism promoted the role of individualism, voluntarism and the leaders’ genuine role and impact throughout history, especially on the ...

    Ajayi, Alexander Temitope A. (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2014)
