The burden of proof is a central feature of all systems of adjudication, yet one that has been subject to little normative analysis in this area. This article examines how strong evidence should have to be in order to assign liability when the objective is to maximize social welfare. In basic settings, there is a tradeoff between deterrence benefits and chilling costs, and the optimal proof requirement is determined by factors that are almost entirely distinct from those underlying the preponderance of the evidence rule and other traditional standards. As a consequence, these familiar burden of proof rules have some surprising properties, as do alternative criteria that have been advanced.

"Armed conflict" is an umbrella term for a variety of scenarios that can directly or indirectly harm children. Children have played various roles in battle throughout history. Denial of humanitarian access to children in conflict zones is often a source of great concern. Children, even as young as 15, girls and boys are recruited and used in war as cheap and profitable means of warfare, and many are sexually exploited in the context of armed groups.

Owing to the nature of human rights everyone is entitled to equal and inalienable human rights as human being. Human rights are centred, indeed built, on the granting of rights to the individual. Main human rights, their implementation mechanism and the obligations of state parties in this regard are enshrined in different international human rights instruments. The main duties of states are to respect, to fulfill and to protect human rights. In compliance with the principle of pacta sunt servanda states parties to these documents undertake to ensure and secure human rights of all within its jurisdiction without discrimination on the basis of sex, race, color, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. States are required to strictly follow their obligations and they are held responsible for violation of human rights even where they were unintentional.

The most commonly used way for cargo transportation is by sea. The main reason for this is the fact that vessels with marine vehicles are able to ship a large amount of cargo and transport costs are fewer than those of other vehicles. The manner of implementation of this process depends on the parties’ consent. Adjustment of freight issue has great importance in any legislative act related to carriage of goods by sea. I think that this issue must be kept in the center of attention from the point of resolving of possible disputes.
