American Bar Association - Defending Liberty, Pursuing Justice Due Process of Law Foundation A summary of DPLF's activities, projects, and institutional developments for the year The Due Process of Law Foundation (DPLF) is a private non-profit, non-governmental organization based in Washington, DC whose mission is to strengthen the rule of law and promote respect for human rights in Latin America through strategic alliances, research, advocacy and outreach. Our vision is a Latin America in which civil society, using national and international legal instruments, participates fully in consolidation of the rule of law, and in which judicial institutions are independent, transparent, accessible and able to fulfill their role in strengthening democracy. DPLF was founded by the former members of the United Nations Truth Commission for El Salvador, and created with the understanding that human rights can only be guaranteed through the existence of strong and independent national judicial systems.

Giacomo Oberto's Home Page Department of Economics at SOAS, University of London Department of Economics The study of Economics at SOAS started in 1962, as a section in the newly established Department of Economic and Political Studies. The Department was divided in October 1990, when the Department of Economics was formed. The Department of Economics is one of the country's leading departments specialising in the economics of development and growth. The Department of Economics' strengths are recognised internationally and, as a consequence, it has received large amounts of funding for its teaching and research activities from a number of international organisations. Why Study Economics at SOAS The department now has one of the largest concentrations of development economists in the UK. The SOAS library is an important resource, containing a unique collection of literature on Asia and Africa, as well as a wide selection of books relating to economics and development economics.
