Full textAbstract:
Organ donation provides a life-saving opportunity for patients with organ failure. China, like most countries, is faced with organ shortages. Understanding public opinion regarding organ donation in China is critical to ensure an increased donation rate. Our study explored public concerns and attitudes toward organ donation, factors involved, and how the public pays attention to organ donation. Sixteen million users’ public information (i.e. gender, age, and geographic information) and posts from January 2017 to December 2017 were collected from Weibo, a social media platform. Of these, 1755 posts related to organ donation were included in the analysis. We categorized the posts and coded the users’ attitudes toward organ donation and the associations between the demographics. The most popular posts mentioning organ donation were “publicly expressing the willingness to donate organs.” Furthermore, 87.62% of posts exhibited a positive attitude toward organ donation, whereas only 7.44% exhibited a negative attitude. Most positive posts were “saluting the organ donors,” and most negative posts involved “fear of the family’s passive medical decision.” There was no significant gender difference in the users’ attitudes, but older people generally had a more negative attitude. Users with negative attitudes mainly distrust the medical system and are worried that the donated organs may be used in improper trading. Social media may be an important channel for promoting organ donation activities, and it is important to popularize scientific knowledge related to organ donation in order to eliminate the public’s misunderstanding of organ donation and transplantation.

Background: Organ donation is defined as an act of giving one or more organs, without compensation, for transplantation to another person. For many of the end stage organ diseases, organ transplantation is the most preferred treatment. The need for organ transplantation is higher than the availability. For the transplantation program to be successful awareness regarding organ donation is needed and people must have a positive attitude towards donating organs. The present study was undertaken to assess the attitude of general population towards organ donation residing in a rural community of Ernakulam District. Materials and methods: A descriptive analytical survey was conducted to assess the attitude of general population towards organ donation. A 5 point likert scale was used to assess the attitude towards organ donation. 100 subjects were selected using convenient sampling technique. The collected data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The results of the study revealed that among 100 subjects, 81% of general population were having positive attitude, 19% were having neutral attitude and none of the subjects were having negative attitude towards organ donation. Even though majority of subjects were having positive attitude towards organ donation only 34% subjects were willing for organ donation. There was a significant association between the attitude of general population towards organ donation with demographic variables like religion and history of organ transplantation among family members/ relatives/ friends at P<0.05 level of significance. Conclusion: The study revealed that majority of the participants were having positive attitude towards organ donation.

In this era of great health challenges, organ donation may be the only intervention to failing and failed organs. Organ donation is willingly accepting to donate an organ or part of an organ to someone with a failing organ or failed organ. There are very few voluntary donations. Cadavers a major tool in the study of anatomy is gotten through unclaimed bodies, corpse from condemned criminals and donation of corpse for teaching and research. This cross sectional survey includes 707 students, 390 dissecting students and 317 non dissecting students from the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences, Delta State University Abraka. Structured questionnaires were administered to the student and date analysed. This was done to know the perception of student to organ and corpse donation and to assess if dissection affects the willingness to donate one’s organ or corpse for research. Result generally showed a negative attitude to organ and corpse donation. Only 5.9% considered donating their organs and 4.1% considered donating their corpse for research. The poor attitude towards organ and body donation may be attributed to people not wanting their body to be disrespected (30%), fear of the effect of donation (23%), religious beliefs (10%), and traditional beliefs (6%). Surprisingly lack of awareness to donation of organs and corpse accounted for a few percentages.

241 African-American college students (94 men and 147 women, mean age = 20.3 ± 3.4 yr.) completed the 1994 Disgust Scale of Haidt, McCauley, and Rozin and a modified form of Parisi-Rizzo's 1987 Attitudes Toward Organ Donation Scale (negative subscale only) as well as a behavioral measure of intention to donate organs after death. Analyses indicated that the higher the disgust sensitivity, the more negative the attitude toward organ donation and the less likely the student was to indicate intent to donate organs. It was further shown that negative attitudes toward organ donation mediated the relationship between disgust sensitivity and the behavioral intention measure. Results highlight the complexity of the issues surrounding organ donation within an African-American population and provide additional empirical evidence for the development of a theoretical model to explain the organ donation phenomenon.

Background: Organ donation not only saves the lives of dying people but also improves the quality of life of many patients. A huge demand supply gap exists between patients requiring transplantation and organ donors. Organ transplantation has become the only hope for some patients with damaged or failing organs to extend their life. This study was carried out to assess the knowledge and attitude towards organ donation and transplantation amongst the undergraduate medical students.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out amongst 98 undergraduate students of IIMSR Medical College, Badnapur, Jalna during the period of January to August 2016. Knowledge and attitude regarding organ donation were assessed using a pre-designed, pre-tested and validated questionnaire. Results were analyzed in the form of percentage and proportions whenever necessary.Results: In present study, only 35.71% students knew the definition of organ donation, whereas 46.94% and 51.02% students knew that what organs can be donated and who could be an organ donar respectively. Majority 71.43% students believed that who should make decision about organ donation in case of unclaimed dead body. Majority 82.65% students reported that live organ donation is better than cadaveric organ donation in solving shortage, 67.34% thought that donating one’s organ adds meaning to one’s life.Conclusions: Undergraduate students have inadequate knowledge, but have positive attitudes towards organ donation. There is a need to increase knowledge regarding organ donation among this essential group.

BACKGROUND. Less than 20% of people who meet the criteria for organ donors are estimated to donate organs. OBJECTIVE. To examine the knowledge and attitudes of rural critical care nurses regarding organ donation. METHODS. Forty-six critical care nurses from a southwestern medical center provided data for this study. Self-reported knowledge and attitudes were measured using the Organ Donor Attitude Questionnaire and compared with respondents' demographic characteristics. RESULTS. Knowledge scores were found to be average (74% correct). Attitude scores reflected a strongly positive attitude toward organ donation. Increased knowledge of organ donation was not found to be related to a positive attitude. However, both attitude and knowledge were found to be positively correlated with previous experience in caring for either organ donors or recipients. Results were compared with data collected in an urban setting and found to be similar. CONCLUSIONS. Results of this study indicate that exposure to patients affected by organ procurement increased knowledge and improved attitudes of the nurses who provided care. Increased knowledge and positive attitude are important when providing support to families and caring for potential donors. These factors could increase the supply of donors for transplants, which is a goal of the organ procurement process.

Although death anxieties seem to play a decisive role in the degree of willingness to donate organs for transplantation after death, the results of most studies have not been able to explain satisfactorily the discrepancy between attitude(s) and behavior in the matter of organ donation. Following up on prior research, this article describes a study based on Weyant's cost-benefit model for altruistic behavior. Two death anxieties (the attitude toward death and the fear of being declared dead too soon) are introduced separately to explain organ donation behavior. The results show that these two almost unrelated death anxieties improve the explanatory force of the attitude-behavior relationship with respect to organ donation.

Context Clerks at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) serve as gatekeepers in the quest to fill organ donor registries. Most people who join organ donor registries do so through their local driver's license bureau. Objective To improve knowledge, attitudes, and behavior toward organ donation among DMV clerks, and to improve strategies for communicating with the public about organ donation, resulting in more people joining DMV-based organ donor registries. Setting DMV offices in 8 counties in a southern state. Participants A general survey of 1504 participants in 8 counties was conducted to assess knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors toward organ donation. All 76 DMV clerks in those counties participated in surveys before and after a training intervention. Interventions DMV clerks received a 1-hour training intervention focused on the nature of the new organ donor registry, information about organ donation, and communication strategies for interacting with the public. Main Outcome Measures Knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and behavioral intentions toward organ donation were measured for the general public survey and for DMV clerks. Results Clerks were more knowledgeable about brain death and religious stances on organ donation than the general public, but otherwise both groups shared similar knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and behavioral intentions toward organ donation. Overall the general public and clerks had favorable attitudes toward organ donation but low to moderate knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors and behavioral intentions. Training significantly increased DMV clerks' knowledge, attitude, beliefs, and behavioral intention toward donation. Organ donor registration rates were a mean of 14% higher in counties where clerks were trained than in control counties and were 9% higher than statewide. Conclusions Training DMV clerks is an effective way to increase knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs for gatekeepers of organ donor registries and may increase donor registration rates among the public.

AbstractIntroduction. All over the world people on organ transplant waiting lists die due to shortage of donor organs. The success of organ donation program needs education of the population regarding organ donation for which healthcare professionals are most suitable. The present study was taken up to assess the knowledge and attitude of 1st, 2ndand 3rdyear medical students about organ donation. Methods. A specially designed self-administered questionnaire was distributed amongst all willing 1st, 2nd and 3rdyear medical students at our Medical College and later analyzed statistically. Results. A total of 157, 145 and 92 students from each year of medical education respectively gave their consent for participation in the study. Awareness regarding organ donation was found to be 98.7-100%, 69.4% claimed television as their source of information regarding organ donation and 46.7% stated that it is possible for patient to recover from brain death. The awareness regarding eye, liver, heart and kidney donations was found to be 92.4%, 87%, 87% and 97.8%, respectively. 87% of medical students were aware of need for legal supervision, and awareness regarding the existing laws was found to be 57.6%. Conclusion. Medical students had a high level of awareness and a positive attitude towards organ donation. However, knowledge regarding “brain-death”, organs and tissues donated, legislation and ethical issues was poor. A teaching intervention designed to specifically address these issues could help increase the confidence of the health-care professionals and may result finally in increased organ procurement rates.

Full textAbstract:
Today, there is a great discrepancy between the number of recipient patients on waiting lists for an organ transplant and the number of donated organs. Negative attitudes toward organ donation are important factors in the lack of donors. Education is an important tool to change attitudes, so it is important to determine the attitudes of teachers and pre-service teachers. The aim of this research was to develop a reliable and valid scale to evaluate pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards organ transplantation and donation (OTD). The attitude scale development process was conducted on three different pre-service teachers’ groups for the purposes of performing the exploratory factor analysis (n=208), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) (n=480) and test-retest correlation (n=62) of the scale. It was established that the scale had two factor structure consisting of a total of 20 items. It was determined that the two factors determined explain 61.749% of the total variance. The CFA values confirmed the two-factor model with acceptable goodness of fit indices. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient for the total scale was calculated as .900. Test-retest reliability was calculated as .951. Finally, the results demostrated that this scale is able to measure pre-service teachers’ attitudes related to OTD use reliably. Keywords: attitude scale development, organ transplantation, organ donation, pre-service teachers.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the opinions and attitudes of health care (pre-registered nurses, post-registered nurses and medical students) and non-health related students (computing students) to determine the factors that influence their support of the organ donation and transplantation system and the factors that influence their willingness to register consent as an eye (cornea) donor. The research study was conducted in two separate but related stages. The use of a quantitative questionnaire was employed to investigate the opinions and attitudes of pre-registered nurses towards organ donation and to determine whether any regional variation exists (n = 667); to determine whether the opinions and attitudes of pre- registered nurses (n = 667) differ among post-registered nurses (n= 62), medical students (n = 55) and computing students (n = 102); and to determine whether the opinions and attitudes of pre-registered nurses change with further education on organ donation (n = 100). Generally speaking, the findings demonstrate that opinions and attitudes differ depending upon the region sampled, the student's background and their level of exposure to further education. The second stage comprised of a qualitative questionnaire that identified commonly held beliefs about the advantages and disadvantages, those people who would approve and disapprove, and motivating factors and barriers that relate to registering consent as an eye (cornea) donor among pre-registered nurses based in Northern Ireland (n = 38). A theory of planned behaviour framework guided the investigation into the identification of factors that influence registering consent to donate eyes (cornea) among pre-registered nurses based in Northern Ireland (n = 92). The results provide support for the theory of planned behaviour and demonstrate that attitude was the strongest predictor of intention to register consent, with the predictive ability of subjective norm and perceived behavioural control varying depending upon the TPB model used. The research study presents six findings overall and demonstrates the complex issues that exist with regard to the reasons for registering as an organ-tissue donor and the reasons why people are only willing to donate specific body parts and not others. These findings will help in the development of effective future interventions that are designed to change and guide performance of the behaviour and ultimately increase participation in organ donation by encouraging competent decision making.

Full textAbstract:
Background:
Organ transplantation is getting more important and the demand increased exponentially in the past decade. However, due to the shortage of organ supply, some people died while waiting for an organ and the other may rely on all forms of organ support to live.
Hong Kong has the lowest organ donation rate among the developed world despite large-scale organ donation enhancement activities implemented for decade. Since consent from family members is mandatory, it is important to understand the reasons relatives given for consenting or refusing to donation.
Objectives:
(1) To investigate the change of attitudes towards organ donation in Hong Kong during 2004 to 2012.
(2) To understand the difficulties of transplant coordinators encountered during counseling
Methods:
This is a cross-sectional survey looking at the recent change of reasons of the families of the potential donors to make decision about donation. Transplant coordinators of all 7 clusters completed questionnaires after counseling each potential donor referred during the 7 months study period. Demographic data and reasons of refusal or consent of donation were recorded and analyzed and compared with previous results. Difficulties of transplant coordinators encountered during counseling were recorded.
Results:
Totally 52 questionnaires were completed within 7 months. The conversion rate were similar when compared to that in 2004 (44.3% in 2004 vs 40% in 2012). The proportion of older potential donor in the refusal group is higher than that of consent group (> 60 years old 51.6% vs 38%,). The demographic data was neither statistical significantly different between consent and refusal group nor correlated with refusal of donation.
From 2004 to this survey, the most common reason to refusal remained to be the traditional belief of buried intact. Both were 33%. The “expressed wish of the deceased to object donation while alive” increased from 13% in 2004 to 20% in 2012 (p=0.378), and “no consensus from family” dropped from 26% in 2004 to 11% in 2012 (p=0.083). The reason “no expression of any wish” remained static when compared to that in 2004 (15% vs 16%, p=0.982).
The reason for consenting to donation changed a lot. Although the most common reason remained the “wish to help others” (94% vs 41%, p<0.0001), the second and third reason changed to “feeling good by being charitable” (21% vs 0%, p=0.0071) and “not to waste useful organs” (18% vs 3%, p=0.0455) while the fourth reason was “respect deceased’s choice”(14% vs 0%, p=0.0278). The reasons of refusal and consenting donation are explained in the context of the decision-making process. The main obstacles the transplant coordinators have encountered were knowledge gap, emotion, time pressure and family or social disharmony.
Conclusion: The major reasons for consenting and refusing donation did not only change in position but also change in proportion in last decade. The importance of some reasons increased significantly and strategies to improve conversion rate should be adjusted according to the changing reasons. Education to change the traditional belief, encourage expression of donation wish, create position image of donation and the benefit of transplant are all important.published_or_final_version

Excerpt: The recent study by Floden, Lennerling, Fridh, Rizell and Forsberg [1] concluded that using the Attitude Towards Organ Donor Advocacy Scale (ATODAS) is ready for use in future research studies because it has good psychometric properties for measuring ICU nurses’ attitudes towards advocacy on behalf of potential and actual organ donors. However, that conclusion is not supported by the data in the study because of lack of evidence of measurement validity

Full textAbstract:
Background: In general, the shortage of organs and tissues for donation reflects not only the rise in the number of patients in need of transplants, but also the failure to acquire sufficient donors. A variety of factors is responsible for this shortage, including poor public awareness and insufficient knowledge, religious perceptions of potential donors and families, and the failure of healthcare staff to identify potential donors. Because of their close relationships with potential donors and families, nurses are vitally important in the donation process. The hospital nursing population in Israel is composed of people from a mixture of religious groups, creating a complex environment which may influence the nurse's behaviour. There is thus a clear need to examine what factors affect the professional behaviour of nurses in the organ donation process. Aims: The overall aim of this research was develop a sensitive psychometric scale to identify key points in nurses' perceptions of professional duty toward organ donation in the context of religion. Methods: The research was divided into four stages using a number of methods. First, a qualitative study with seven homogenous focus groups of hospital nurses grouped by religion was done. The findings were used for the second stage, whose aim was to develop a sensitive psychometric scale of the coverage, relevance and readability of the initial items and a pilot study examining each item. Next, a large-scale field test was conducted and the data were then analysed using principal component analysis. In the third stage, reliability and validity of the newly developed Care & Donate scale were evaluated. Finally, in stage four, the relationship between the Care & Donate scale and key questions in each category was demonstrated. Results: The first stage found thirteen central themes, reduced into four categories, reflecting the nurses' perceptions towards organ donation. The next stage produced an initial conceptual framework for developing a psychometric scale. In the field test stage, a principal component analysis produced a robust conceptual framework composed of 23 items in three subscales. Conclusion: This research is the first to develop a reliable, valid, sensitive measure of nurses’ attitudes towards organ donation in north of Israel: the Care & Donate scale. The scale should provide the basis for an intervention program for nurses and help evaluate the effectiveness of such programs. Analysis of the Care & Donate scale also provided evidence that the scale is related to scales developed outside of Israel, possibly leading to its use in other countries.

Full textAbstract:
South Africa has a low organ donation and transplantation rate despite the availability of medical professionals with the expertise to perform such transplants. This can be attributed to various factors, such as knowledge and attitudes towards organ donation and transplantation. Despite the efforts of the Organ Donor Foundation in South Africa by conducting awareness and education campaigns organ donation rates remains low. There is a wide discrepancy in the rate of organ donation among the different ethnic groups in the country, perhaps due to a lack of knowledge or for cultural or religious reasons. Nurses, as health-care providers, have an important role to play in enabling patients and families to deal with the topic of organ donation. This cross-sectional study investigated the knowledge and attitudes of 268 pre-registration nursing students towards organ donation, at a nursing college in Mthatha, using an anonymous, self- administered questionnaire for data collection. A stratified convenient sampling method was used. The data was captured and analysed using the SPSS statistical package, Version 21; thereafter, descriptive and cross-tabulation analyses were performed on the data. Results: The majority of respondents (62.8%) were aware of organ donation with a small number (1.6%) registered as organ donors. Ethnicity and religion did not influence an individual's decision to donate his/her organs, which suggested that the decision was a personal one. There was no association between age group and willingness to donate a kidney to a relative, although younger respondents were willing to donate kidneys as living donors. There was also no clear relationship between gender and willingness to donate an organ (p-values of 0.03). Knowledge about organ donation was seen as a strong predictor of the attitudes towards organ donation. The majority of respondents were willing to donate organs for transplantation to save the lives of others. It is highly recommended from the results of the study that awareness campaigns to promote organ donation using various strategies and emphasising altruistic motives can increase the organs for donation.

Full textAbstract:
The impact of deceased tissue donation and transplantation is far-reaching; however, little is known about the public’s attitudes towards tissue donation. Siminoff, Traino, and Gordon (2010) found that families’ attitudes towards tissue donation were a significant predictor of consent; specifically, families that were initially favorable towards tissue donation were more likely to donate their loved ones tissues than families that were initially unfavorable towards tissue donation. Using a qualitative coding approach and the Tripartite Model of Attitude Structure (affective, behavioral, and cognitive attitude components) as a conceptual framework, families’ expressed attitudes toward tissue donation were extracted from N=240 audiorecordings of past tissue donation requests from 16 different OPOs. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with N=14 Tissue Requesters from LifeNet Health in Virginia Beach, Virginia about their perceptions of families’ attitudes. Together, 14 attitude domains and 34 subdomains were derived from the families’ expressed attitudes. Several multivariate analyses were performed. After controlling for time spent discussing tissue donation and confusion between tissues and organs, affective attitudes were significantly different among three FDM initial response groups (favorable, unsure, and unfavorable). Further, the attitude domains “donation invokes positive emotion” and “pro-donation behaviors” were the best discriminators of FDM groups. Suggestions for educational interventions were discussed.

Bakgrund: Organtransplantation är en livräddande behandling vid terminal organsvikt men det råder en global brist på potentiella organdonatorer. Sjuksköterskan har en viktig roll i att öka medvetenheten om organdonation i samhället och hennes attityd till och kunskap om organdonation kan påverka människors beslut att donera. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar sjuksköterskans attityd till organdonation. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en allmän litteraturstudie där 15 vetenskapliga artiklar från tre olika databaser granskades och analyserades. Resultat:Analysen resulterade i fem kategorier: Kunskapens påverkan, Arbetslivserfarenhetens påverkan, Familjen och den egna donationsviljans inflytande, Religionens inflytande och Misstro mot hälso- och sjukvården och lagstiftningen. Konklusion: Kunskap om kriterier för att fastställa död, organdonation, donationsprocessen och kommunikationsmetoder hjälpte sjuksköterskorna att förmedla adekvat information. Att vårda potentiella organdonatorer skapade en emotionell stress och att lyfta frågan om donation med donatorns familj var påfrestande. Att ha diskuterat organdonation inom den egna familjen var gynnsamt för attityden. Sjuksköterskans egen tolkning av sin religions inställning till organdonation påverkade attityden. Sjuksköterskorna upplevde rädsla för att gå miste om återupplivningsåtgärder eller att dödförklaras för tidigt som registrerade organdonatorer.Background: Organ transplantation is a life-saving treatment but there is a global shortage of potential organ donors. The nurse has an important role in increasing awareness of organ donation. Her attitude toward and knowledge about organ donation might influence people’s decision to donate. Aim: The aim was to investigate factors that influence the nurse’s attitude toward organ donation. Method: This study was carried out as a general literature study. Fifteen scientific articles from three different data bases were reviewed and analyzed. Result: The analyze resulted in five categories: The impact of knowledge, The impact of work experience, The impact of family and own willingness to donate, The influence of religion and Distrust in the health care system and legislation. Conclusion: Knowledge about death criteria, organ donation and communication skills helped the nurse’s to convey information. Caring for potential organ donors generated an emotional stress and raising the question about donation with donor families was stressful. Having discussed organ donation within the own family was favorable for the attitude. The nurse’s own interpretation of her religion’s attitude toward organ donation influenced the attitude. The nurses experienced fear of not receiving proper resuscitation of being declared dead prematurely as registered organ donors.

Full textAbstract:
Brain death criteria have mostly developed when there are organ donation policies in place. The variability in criteria and practices around the world is striking but also inherently problematic, with no consensus in sight. This chapter surveys the criteria across the continents, including in Canada, Europe, South America, Africa, Asian and the Middle East, and Australia and New Zealand. There is a specific focus on the brain death criteria in the United Kingdom and alleged contrasts with U.S. guidelines. A discussion of how best to achieve uniform criteria, despite obstacles, is described. Toward that effort a case is made to and allow the diagnosis of brain death if, after excluding any possible confounder, all brainstem reflexes have disappeared and the patient has become demonstrably apneic.

Full textAbstract:
Death is the permanent loss of the capacity for consciousness and respiration, both of which are functions of the brain-stem. Death can be diagnosed by somatic, circulatory, or neurological criteria, which vary between countries and are influenced by prevailing attitudes towards death, legal frameworks, and available medical technologies. When organ retrieval is planned after circulatory death, there is need for a time-critical schedule for the diagnosis of death using circulatory criteria. These require the absence of consciousness and respiratory effort to be demonstrated, and emphasize the need for explicit clarity that resuscitation should not be instigated or continued, how the absence of the circulation should identified, and the minimum period of observation that is required to be assured that the possibility of spontaneous return of the circulation has passed.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on governmental dilemmas and practices around the dead body in recent political debates about organ donation. Drawing on a public consultation process initiated by the Joint Committee on Health and Children in 2013 on a proposal to change the organ donation system in Ireland from one based on ‘opting in’, to one based on ‘presumed consent’, this chapter explores the political rationalities that underpinned the construction of organ donation as a ‘problem’, and the ways in which the Irish state has sought to act through its citizens to transform the prevailing cultural attitude to organ donation. The chapter reveals how governmental shaping of people’s subjectivities and dispositions in relation to organ donation was necessarily complex and messy, reflected in the different rationalities articulated in public hearings which invoked ideas about the dead body, the rights of the individual and the family, and the limits to medicine. The chapter draws attention to the significance of counter conducts or forms of resistance in defining and articulating policy problems: thus, whilst the overriding construction of the organ donation problem by the government was one of a scarcity of organs and a low donation rate, counter-discourses pointed to an ineffective and poorly-resourced health system.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on the main judicial organ of the United Nations, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and its relation to the Islamic milieu. It examines the Islamic milieu’s views of the Court’s compulsory and compromissory jurisdictions. The Court has been constructed according to the secular Western legal logic, and its jurisprudence rarely refers to the Islamic legal tradition. The chapter presents an analysis of the ICJ’s jurisprudence—judgments and advisory opinions—and the position of Islamic law-based arguments in the Court. Empirical analyses show that the Islamic milieu does not project a uniform attitude toward the ICJ. Depending on their domestic legal systems, some ILS are likely to accept the jurisdiction of the Court and some shy away from international adjudication. In particular, the presence of a secular court system and constitutional mentions of peaceful resolution of disputes promote a favorable attitude toward the ICJ among its Islamic audience.

Full textAbstract:
Don goldsberry had been speaking for only a few minutes at the Game Commission’s April 1972 hearing, and already Elizabeth Stanton Lay couldn’t believe her ears. Branding killer whales with dry ice? Burning their skin with lasers? Confining them to pools for research and profit? What kind of men were these? After listening to representatives from the Audubon Society, Friends of the Earth, and the Washington Environment Council voice their opposition, the sixty-year-old Lay rose to speak. “I have never before heard such a frank statement of what seems to me a totally inhumane attitude toward living creatures,” she declared. Marine mammals could do without the type of “research” Namu Inc. proposed. Whales were disappearing around the world, she reminded listeners, and the same could happen to orcas in Puget Sound. “When I was a very little girl, we used to see blackfish out in the bay, and we loved it,” she recalled. Now locals rarely saw the great creatures, except when men like Goldsberry trapped them behind nets. Lay was never one to stand idly by. Named after Elizabeth Cady Stanton, organizer of the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention on women’s rights, she would have made her namesake proud. Born in Tacoma in 1911, she had grown up in the nearby town of Rosedale on Henderson Bay and earned a history degree from Reed College in Portland, followed by a master’s degree in political science from the University of Washington. She studied in Geneva, worked as a journalist in Washington, DC, and served in the new Federal Security Agency during World War II. From the mid-1940s to the mid-1950s, she worked as a historian for the US military, living in Paris, Frankfurt, and Seoul and producing a two-volume account of the Berlin Airlift. By the time of the Game Commission hearing, Lay had retired to Rosedale, where she played the organ at her Christian Science church, promoted forest preservation, and fought to stop orca capture. Her interest in the issue may have started with young Ken Gormly’s 1968 account of the catch in Vaughn Bay.
