This article discusses the importance, style, and contents of the Kitáb-i-Íqán (the Book of Certitude) by Bahá’u’lláh. The five major themes of the book—the True Seeker and the Conditions and Constraints of an Independent Investigation of Truth; Rebirth of Spirituality; Subjects Related to Christianity and Islam; the Bábí Dispensation; and the Process of Revelation—are then succinctly yet perceptively summarized.

“We have no credibility”. That was the response of a woman with a mental illness who put a complaint to the Health Service Ombudsman. Unlike many – not just patients but also a significant number of NHS staff – she had heard that the Ombudsman could carry out a completely independent investigation of complaints although she was not clear about the extent of his jurisdiction. Some people feel intimidated when trying to take on what they see as a powerful and defensive NHS and others experience a sense of despair that because of their illness their concerns have no validity. Those providing care and treatment generally do the best they can to attain high professional standards but delivery does not always match expectations and the outcome can be a complaint. Services for the mentally ill are not immune from shortcomings and, if local management fails to satisfy the complainant, the Ombudsman can step in.

In Victoria, complaints against the police made by members of the public are predominantly investigated and determined by serving police officers. Such police-dominated complaints mechanisms are widely considered to be ineffective, and are being increasingly abandoned the world over. With reference to the obligations imposed by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, this article critically examines Victoria’s police-dominated complaints mechanism and argues that it violates the right to an effective remedy contained in article 2 paragraph 3 of the Covenant. As a constituent state of a state party to the Covenant, Victoria is obliged to give effect to the Covenant’s obligations, and so must create an independent police complaints mechanism tasked with investigating complaints made against the police involving allegations of breaches of the Covenant’s protected rights.

Experimental measurements of decay branching fractions of semitaunic and semimuonic [Formula: see text] into [Formula: see text] have challenged the lepton flavor universality in standard models with about two standard deviations. In this paper, we first investigate the unitary constraint on form factors of [Formula: see text] meson into [Formula: see text]-wave and [Formula: see text]-wave charmonium. Such constraint leads to the exploration of the [Formula: see text] and other ratios [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] in a model-independent way. These results together with future experimental measurements can be used to explore the lepton flavor universality in a more systematic way. In addition, we point out that the helicity-dependent ratios [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] can also provide complementary information.
