The Lieber Code, signed into law by Abraham Lincoln in 1863 during the American Civil War, was a domestic regulation of the United States Army. When, in 1899, the Hague Convention sought to codify the rules of war, it drew heavily on Lieber’s 157 articles, in which he had set out guidelines to insure that civilians and prisoners of war would be protected, despite the fighting around them. It officially codified the rules of behavior in times of war including the application of martial law, treatment of non-combatants, prisoners of war, and hostages.

The Act favored uniformity in advanced directives across states. Individuals with advanced directives may presume the advance directive written in their state will be valid in every other state they travel in, much like a driver’s license is valid as you travel from state to state. However, because of the disparity in states’ laws, there is the potentiality an advance directive drawn up in one state will be regarded invalid and not recognized by healthcare providers in another state. The Full Faith and Credit Clause, Article IV, Section 1, of the United States Constitution, requires each of the states honor the “public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state.” The Clause should ensure an advance health care directive executed in one state, compatible to that particular state’s laws, is valid in every other state. However, the reality may be that an out-of-state advance directive is not always respected (Anderson, D., 2012).

When George W.

The creation of a Department of Homeland Security is one more key step in the President’s national strategy for homeland security” (Bush “The Department” 1). In 2002 the Department of Homeland Security formally became a department of government after congress passed the Homeland Security Act (Homeland Security – Creation of the department of Homeland Security).
