Book Synopsis Discrimination, Copyright and Equality by : Paul Harpur
Download or read book Discrimination, Copyright and Equality written by Paul Harpur and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While equality laws operate to enable access to information, these laws have limited power over the overriding impact of market forces and copyright laws that focus on restricting access to information. Technology now creates opportunities for everyone in the world, regardless of their abilities or disabilities, to be able to access the written word – yet the print disabled are denied reading equality, and have their access to information limited by laws protecting the mainstream use and consumption of information. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the World Intellectual Property Organization's Marrakesh Treaty have swept in a new legal paradigm. This book contributes to disability rights scholarship, and builds on ideas of digital equality and rights to access in its analysis of domestic disability anti-discrimination, civil rights, human rights, constitutional rights, copyright and other equality measures that promote and hinder reading equality.

Book excerpt: "Laws and institutions recognised that persons with print disabilities could not read standard books printed on paper. This gave rise to an exemption in copyright laws that is analysed in chapter 5 of this monograph. Predominantly, charities that assist the blind have utilised these exemptions to provide persons with print disabilities a library of books in alternative or accessible formats. Charities, such as the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, the Royal National Institute of Blind People, and Vision Australia, have impressive catalogues of books in Braille, large print and audio cassette. Most of these works have been created by volunteers reading books onto tape, as well as scanning, editing and printing books into alternative formats"--

Book Synopsis Philosophical Foundations of Discrimination Law by : Deborah Hellman
Download or read book Philosophical Foundations of Discrimination Law written by Deborah Hellman and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-11-28 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we understand and justify the particular partialities that discrimination law tries to protect against? Are different discrimination laws from around the world grounded in a single set of norms? And does discrimination law fail to treat people as individuals? The philosophical study around discrimination law in the private and public sector is a relatively young field of inquiry. This is owing to the fact that anti-discrimination laws are relatively new. It is arguably only since the Second World War that these rights have been adopted by countries in a broad sense, ensuring that all citizens have civil rights and the right to non-discrimination. Theory around discrimination law has until recently been threefold, doctrinal in its approach, questioning equality - why it matters and why should it influence legislatures in the design of policy - and thirdly focusing on the issue of affirmative action. This volume takes a fresh look at the philosophy of discrimination law, identifying points of discussion in need of further study. It addresses how we are to understand and justify laws prohibiting discrimination. For instance, how discrimination might be best conceived - as a personal wrong or as an unfair distribution of resources. The volume then turns to a number of meta-theoretical questions, whether different discrimination laws are coherent and grounded in collectively held beliefs or are instead a collection of very different rules that have no underlying coherence. Lastly, the authors focus on issues in discrimination law that are currently the topic of considerable political debate. The questions raised here are urgent and necessary and it is the hope of the authors that other academics and philosophers may join in their discussions.

Book Synopsis Equality by Statute by : Morroe Berger
Download or read book Equality by Statute written by Morroe Berger and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Equality by Statute: Legal Controls Over Group Discrimination For the first time, in this country, the question Of what law can and cannot do, should and should not attempt to do, toward the reduction or abolition of intergroup discrimina tion has become a matter of practical importance. The reason is that in this country, for the first time, a substantial move ment of public opinion has developed against such discrimina tory attitudes. We shall not ask why this movement has taken place. The fact suffices for the argument. State after state, responsive to the movement, has been passing laws to give it further impetus. Law adds the sanction Of enforcement to a general rule. Law is meaningless, or rather it is not law, unless it has the power, and makes some kind of use of the power, to punish the violator Of the rule it enacts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary collection of essays addresses the theoretical, practical and legal dimensions of equality for persons with disabilities.

Book Synopsis European Union Non-Discrimination Law by : Dagmar Schiek
Download or read book European Union Non-Discrimination Law written by Dagmar Schiek and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-06-02 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU equality law is multidimensional in being based on different rationales and concepts. Consequently, the concept of discrimination has become fragmented, with different instruments envisaging different scopes of protection. This raises questions as to the ability of EU law to address the situation of persons excluded on a number of grounds. This edited collection addresses the increasing complexity of European Equality Law from jurisprudential, sociological and political science perspectives. Internationally renowned researchers from Scandinavian, Continental and Central European countries and Britain analyse consequences of multiplying discrimination grounds within EU equality law, considering its multidimensionality and intersectionality. The contributors to the volume theorise the move from formal to substantive equality law and its interrelation to new forms of governance, demonstrating the specific combination of non-discrimination law with welfare state models which reveal the global implications of the European Union. The book will be of interest to academics and policy makers all over the world, in particular to those researching and studying law, political sciences and sociology with an interest in human rights, non discrimination law, contract and employment law or European studies.

Book Synopsis Class Act by : Dr Anne-Marie Mooney Cotter
Download or read book Class Act written by Dr Anne-Marie Mooney Cotter and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even today, class discrimination remains an important global legal issue. This book allows readers a better understanding of the issue of class discrimination and inequality, including the role of education in bridging the class systems. The study seeks to increase the likelihood of achieving equality at both the national and international levels for those suffering class discrimination as the international population becomes increasingly educated, looking at the primary role of legislation, which has an impact on the court process. It also discusses the two most important trade agreements of our day - namely the North American Free Trade Agreement and the European Union Treaty - in a historical and compelling analysis of discrimination. By providing a detailed examination of the relationship between class and education as they relate to the law, the book will be an important read for those concerned with equality.
