Green’s gambling activities do not qualify as a trade or business, can he deduct his gambling-related travel and lodging expenses against his gambling winnings? Applicable Case Law, Code & Regulations Per Section 165(d) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), a taxpayer may deduct their gambling losses to the extent of their gambling winnings. However, Section 262 of the IRC indicates, “…no deduction shall be allowed for personal, living, or family expenses.” In ruling on Stanley B. and Rose M. Whitten v. Commission of Internal Revenue, the US Tax Court has stipulated that travel and lodging expenses are not considered losses and therefore cannot be used as a deduction. Conclusion Given the current tax regulations and case law, travel and lodging expenses associated to Dr. Green’s gambling activities cannot be categorized as a loss. The Tax Court clearly established in Stanley B. and Rose M. Whitten v. Commission of Internal Revenue the difference between gambling losses and travel and lodging expenses in the closing of the judgment wherein they stated there is no need, “…to eliminate the distinction between wagering losses, i.e., the amount of wagers or bets lost on wagering transactions, and expenses related thereto, e.g., expenses for transportation, meals, and lodging incurred to engage in wagering transactions… Unlike a wager or bet, petitioner incurred the expenses in question in exchange for specific goods and services, such as transportation,
After all, genocide was already forbidden under customary international law at the time that the Aboriginals Ordinance was enacted. The court, however, found difficulty here as well, this time based on problems inherent in the definition of genocide as a crime. According to the court, the transfer that the Aboriginals Ordinance authorized lacked the requisite mental element of "intent to destroy" the children's racial or ethnic group. Rather, the court held that the forcible transfers authorized by the Ordinance were intended "for the good and welfare" of the aboriginal population. The court based this interpretation on the conditions that prevailed at the time of the Ordinance's passage.
The Geneva Conventions The Geneva Convention is the core of international humanitarian law and it tries to limit the effects and aftermath of war. The Geneva Convention protects people who do not have any part of the war or do not participate in the hostilities which includes prisoners of war, wounded troops and civilians. The Geneva Convention come with protocols which have been developed through time. Since the Geneva Convention is such a vital link to being civilized and having every country disciplined to it, it would then mean that if any of the protocols has been violated by someone that someone must then be sought, tried or extradited disregarding what nationality that person is to be as
Appellants argued that undocumented aliens, because of their immigration status, are not “persons within the jurisdiction” of the State of Texas, and that they therefore have no right to the equal protection of Texas law. The Supreme Court rejected this argument saying “Whatever his status under the immigration laws, an alien is surely a person in any ordinary sense of the term. Aliens, even aliens whose presence in this country is unlawful, have long been recognized as persons guaranteed due process of law by the 5th and 14th Amendments. Indeed, we have clearly held that the 5th Amendment protects aliens whose presence in this country is unlawful from invidious discrimination by the Federal Government.” Appellants also suggested that undocumented children are singled out because their unlawful presence within the United States renders them less likely than other children to remain within the boundaries of the State, and to put their education
