Book Synopsis The Triangular Constitution by : Tom Flynn
Download or read book The Triangular Constitution written by Tom Flynn and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a new account of modern European constitutionalism. It uses the Irish constitutional order to demonstrate that, right across the European Union, the national constitution can no longer be understood on its own, in isolation from the EU legal order or from the European Convention on Human Rights. The constitution is instead triangular, with these three legal orders forming the points of a triangle, and the relationship and interactions between them forming the triangle's sides. It takes as its starting point the theory of constitutional pluralism, which suggests that overlapping constitutional orders are not necessarily arranged 'on top of' each other, but that they may be arranged heterarchically or flatly, without a hierarchy of superior and subordinate constitutions. However, it departs from conventional accounts of this theory by emphasising that we must still pay close attention to jurisdictional specificity in order to understand the norms that regulate pluralist constitutions. It shows, through application of the theory to case studies, that any attempt to extract universal principles from the jurisdictionally contingent interactions between specific legal orders is fraught with difficulty. The book is an important contribution to constitutional theory in general, and constitutional pluralism in particular, and will be of great interest to scholars in the field.
Book Synopsis Hague "Congress of Europe" (1948-2008) by : Jean-Michel Guieu
Download or read book Hague "Congress of Europe" (1948-2008) written by Jean-Michel Guieu and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la nécessité de construire une Europe unie s'impose progressivement au sein du débat public et la tenue d'un « Congrès de l'Europe » à La Haye du 7 au 10 mai 1948, rassemblement sans égal de quelque 800 personnalités représentatives des forces vives de l'Europe d'alors, en est l'illustration la plus éclatante. Bien que souvent cité, cet événement n'avait encore donné lieu à aucune étude systématique et approfondie. Cet ouvrage entend donc combler une lacune en livrant au lecteur le fruit de travaux menés autour du Congrès de La Haye par une trentaine d'historiens et de politistes issus de toute l'Europe. Grâce à la mobilisation des nombreuses archives disponibles, cet ouvrage replace le congrès dans le contexte des divers efforts alors menés en faveur de l'unité européenne. Il étudie également la plupart des délégations nationales présentes à La Haye et les différents milieux (économiques, parlementaires et intellectuels) qu'elles représentaient. Il tente enfin de mesurer les effets immédiats et à long terme du Congrès de La Haye : contribua-t-il à créer une dynamique favorable à l'unité européenne ou ne marqua-t-il pas paradoxalement les limites d'une certaine méthode de construction européenne ? Cet ouvrage contient des contributions en français et en anglais.
Book Synopsis Flexibility in International Dispute Settlement by : Christian Tomuschat
Download or read book Flexibility in International Dispute Settlement written by Christian Tomuschat and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the tendency has been to settle international disputes by informal methods. Among those methods conciliation has seen a successful revival, after many years of decline, in the case of Timor Leste v. Australia while inter-State complaint proceedings under the UN-sponsored human rights treaties have unexpectedly reached their merits stage of conciliation. The present book takes stock of these developments by portraying, at the same time, the potential of the OSCE Court of Conciliation and Arbitration which still remains to be fully activated. Additionally, the contributions reach out to geographical areas in Africa and Asia. An analysis of the relevant procedural mechanisms completes the study to which 14 authors from nine different countries have contributed. See inside the book.
Book Synopsis René Cassin and Human Rights by : Jay Winter
Download or read book René Cassin and Human Rights written by Jay Winter and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the life of one extraordinary man, this biography reveals what the term human rights meant to the men and women who endured two world wars, and how this major political and intellectual movement ultimately inspired and enshrined the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. René Cassin was a man of his generation, committed to moving from war to peace through international law, and whose work won him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1968. His life crossed all the major events of the first seventy years of the twentieth century, and illustrates the hopes, aspirations, failures and achievements of an entire generation. It shows how today's human rights regimes emerged from the First World War as a pacifist response to that catastrophe and how, after 1945, human rights became a way to go beyond the dangers of absolute state sovereignty, helping to create today's European project.

Book Synopsis Redefining and Combating Poverty by : Council of Europe
Download or read book Redefining and Combating Poverty written by Council of Europe and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are at a point in history where economic inequalities are more widespread each day. The situation of extreme poverty experienced by the majority of the populations in developing countries ("Third World" countries) often coincides with an absence of democracy and the violation of the most fundamental rights. But in so-called "First World" countries a non-negligible proportion of inhabitants also live in impoverished conditions (albeit mainly "relative" poverty) and are denied their rights. The European situation, which this publication aims to analyse, is painful: the entire continent is afflicted by increasing poverty and consequently by the erosion of living conditions and social conflicts.The economic and financial crisis has resulted in the loss of millions of jobs, and created job insecurity for many still working. Economic insecurity raises social tensions, aggravating xenophobia, for instance. Yet the economic and financial crisis could present a good opportunity to rethink the economic and social system as a whole. Indeed, poverty in modern societies has never been purely a question of lack of wealth. It is therefore urgent today to devise a new discourse on poverty. In pursuit of this goal, the Council of Europe is following up this publication in the framework of the project "Human rights of people experiencing poverty", co-financed by the European Commission.
Book Synopsis Living in dignity in the 21st century by :
Download or read book Living in dignity in the 21st century written by and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 21st century, poverty, impoverishment and inequalities are increasing across the European continent. These phenomena not only weaken the social cohesion of European societies, they also violate human rights, including social and civil and political rights, and question the functioning of democracy. How can people living in poverty make their voices heard in polarised societies, where more than 40% of assets and 25% of revenues are held by 10% of the population? This guide is the result of two years of collective discussion held within the framework of the project "The human rights of people experiencing poverty". It was prepared with the assistance of many individuals and organisations, including people living in poverty, researchers, associations and representatives of public authorities. As well as offering a critique of the current situation, analysing inequality and poverty through the prism of human rights, democracy and redistributive policies, the guide also invites the reader to explore the possibilities of a renewed strategy to fight poverty in order to restore a sense of social justice. It makes proposals that aim to overcome the stigmatisation and categorisation of people, opening pathways of learning to build well-being through sharing, avoiding waste and by enhancing public awareness around the principle of human dignity as a human right for all.
Book Synopsis Chains of Justice by : Sonia Cardenas
Download or read book Chains of Justice written by Sonia Cardenas and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2014-02-21 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National human rights institutions—state agencies charged with protecting and promoting human rights domestically—have proliferated dramatically since the 1990s; today more than a hundred countries have NHRIs, with dozens more seeking to join the global trend. These institutions are found in states of all sizes—from the Maldives and Barbados to South Africa, Mexico, and India; they exist in conflict zones and comparatively stable democracies alike. In Chains of Justice, Sonia Cardenas offers a sweeping historical and global account of the emergence of NHRIs, linking their growing prominence to the contradictions and possibilities of the modern state. As human rights norms gained visibility at the end of the twentieth century, states began creating NHRIs based on the idea that if international human rights standards were ever to take root, they had to be firmly implanted within countries—impacting domestic laws and administrative practices and even systems of education. However, this very position within a complex state makes it particularly challenging to assess the design and influence of NHRIs: some observers are inclined to associate NHRIs with ideals of restraint and accountability, whereas others are suspicious of these institutions as "pretenders" in democratic disguise. In her theoretically and politically grounded examination, Cardenas tackles the role of NHRIs, asking how we can understand the global diffusion of these institutions, including why individual states decide to create an NHRI at a particular time while others resist the trend. She explores the influence of these institutions in states seeking mostly to appease international audiences as well as their value in places where respect for human rights is already strong. The most comprehensive account of the NHRI phenomenon to date, Chains of Justice analyzes many institutions never studied before and draws from new data released from the Universal Periodic Review Mechanism of the United Nations Human Rights Council. With its global scope and fresh insights into the origins and influence of NHRIs, Chains of Justice promises to become a standard reference that will appeal to scholars immersed in the workings of these understudied institutions as well as nonspecialists curious about the role of the state in human rights.
Book Synopsis An Introduction to the Law of the United Nations by : Robert Kolb
Download or read book An Introduction to the Law of the United Nations written by Robert Kolb and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-02-26 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work aims to fill a gap in the existing legal literature by presenting a compact, concise but nevertheless panoramic view of the law of the United Nations. Today the organisation is at the centre of all multilateral international relations and impossible to avoid. And of course the UN Charter is a foundational document without which modern international law cannot be properly understood. In spite of its importance, this pre-eminent world political organisation is poorly understood by the general public, and the extent and variety of its activities is not widely appreciated. Even lawyers generally possess insufficient knowledge of the way its legal institutions operate. Assessments of the organisation and judgements about its achievements are consequently frequently distorted. This work is aimed especially at remedying these deficiencies in public and legal understanding, but also at presenting the organisation as a coherent system of values and integrated action. Thus the book presents an overarching view of the significance of the UN organisation in general, the history of its origins in the League of Nations, the aims and principles of the Charter, governmental agencies, members of the Organisation, the non-use of violence and collective security, the peaceful settlement of disputes, and the question of amendments to the Charter. This work will be suitable for students of law and international relations, as well as scholars and those interested in the work and organisation of the United Nations.
Book Synopsis The Right to Life by : Christian Tomuschat
Download or read book The Right to Life written by Christian Tomuschat and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-03-08 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The right to life stands at the heart of human rights protection. Individuals cannot enjoy any of the rights guaranteed to them unless their physical existence is ensured. All human rights instrument list the right to life as the first one of their safeguards. Nonetheless, in many situations human life finds itself under structural threat. Although obligated by law to protect the right to life, State authorities time and again engage in deliberate acts of killing. Fortunately, international review bodies have devised many imaginative counter-strategies. Another one of those structural threats is global warming. Obviously, armed conflict puts human life inevitably at risk; the limits of the ‘license to kill’ given by the laws of war must be scrupulously observed.
Book Synopsis The Universal Declaration of Human Rights by : Humberto Cantu Rivera
Download or read book The Universal Declaration of Human Rights written by Humberto Cantu Rivera and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 837 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) on 10 December 1948 by the United Nations General Assembly marked a groundbreaking moment in the field of international law. Not only would it start to move away from its original conception as an exclusively State-centered domain: it would also mark the progressive transformation of international law into a law for humankind. This instrument started a codification and institution-building process that would slowly evolve into a complex framework of treaties, bodies and procedures revolving around the protection of the human being against the actions – or omissions – of the State. This commentary provides a specific analysis and reflection of how each one of the rights enshrined therein have evolved over time.
