Alongside analyses from some of the most prominent lawyers, philosophers, and political theorists in the debate, each section includes contributions by those who have served as Special Rapporteurs within the United Nations Human Rights System on the challenges facing international human rights laws today.
Book Synopsis The "SUPERWHELMING", "GLORIOUSTOUNDING", "MEGAMIRACULOUS" Return of the King of Kings and Pretentious Interloper by : Cedric Fisher
Download or read book The "SUPERWHELMING", "GLORIOUSTOUNDING", "MEGAMIRACULOUS" Return of the King of Kings and Pretentious Interloper written by Cedric Fisher and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-06-19 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complaints are replete on social media, and everywhere people gather to sip coffee and opine about the world's ills. Something is wrong with American society. A few years ago, people were saying, "I don't know how it can get worse." It is worse and going to get worse. The reality and angst of watching it disintegrate have pressed many people into apathy. They have latched onto the belief that God will not permit them to suffer the consequences of the world's wicked rebellion. Instead, Christ will snatch them off the earth and out of danger during a split-second secret coming. There is an alternative to apathy and fantastical notions. It is the central focus of biblical eschatology, the superwhelming, glorioustounding, megamiraculous return of the King of kings.

Book Synopsis Church and the Tribulation by : Robert H. Gundry
Download or read book Church and the Tribulation written by Robert H. Gundry and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2010-08-03 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the opening chapter, Robert Gundry states, "It is hoped that the following pages will contribute to an understanding and appreciation of the posttribulational position and that it will do so in a manner characterized by 'wisdom from above. . . First pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy' (James 3:17)." In keeping with this expressed desire, the author presents his thesis regarding Christ's second coming, not as a polemical argument, but as a reasonable and tenable position. This book propounds the thesis that Jesus will return after the tribulation and that the first resurrection will occur at that time. Dr. Gundry believes that biblical evidence points most naturally to this conclusion. Because of his discerning analysis of Scripture, his careful logic, and the thoughtful presentation of his views, he is one of today's leading spokesmen for posttribulational eschatology.
Book Synopsis Freedom of Speech and Incitement against Democracy by : David Kretzmer
Download or read book Freedom of Speech and Incitement against Democracy written by David Kretzmer and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-08-04 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst the protection of political speech is essential to the preservation of a democratic legal order, events of political violence and assassinations highlight the need to rethink questions relating to the boundaries of free speech in a democratic society. To what extent should democratic countries committed to freedom of speech limit those forms of extreme speech that may be considered as incitements to violence? This is a question that has long divided academics and activists alike. It has become even more relevant today, with the recent rise of extreme right-wing parties in various European democracies. In this book, leading scholars of constitutional law, human rights and criminal law, from various countries with divergent philosophies on freedom of speech, address the question of whether we can, and should, regulate speech in order to protect democracy and, if so, how.
Book Synopsis Speaking the Law by : Kenneth Anderson
Download or read book Speaking the Law written by Kenneth Anderson and published by Hoover Institution Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Barack Obama came into office, the strategic landscape facing the United States in its overseas counterterrorism operations was undergoing a shift. Even before the rise of drones necessitated the articulation of legal doctrine, the Obama administration had to explain itself. In Speaking the Law, the authors offer a detailed examination of the speeches of the Obama administration on national security legal issues. Viewed together here for the first time, the authors lay out a broad array of legal and policy positions regarding a large number of principles currently contested at both the domestic and international levels. The book describes what the Obama administration has said about the legal framework in which it is operating with respect to such questions as the nature of the war on terrorism, the use of drones and targeted killings, detention, trial by military commission and in federal courts, and interrogation. The authors analyze this framework, examining the stresses on it and asking where the administration got matters right and where they were wrong. They conclude with suggestions for certain reforms to the framework for the administration and Congress to consider.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Development in World Investment Law by : Marie-Claire Cordonier Segger
Download or read book Sustainable Development in World Investment Law written by Marie-Claire Cordonier Segger and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 978 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable development, as defined by the World Commission on Environment and Development, is "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." More specifically, sustainable development is a process of change that seeks to improve the collective quality of life by focusing on economically, socially, and environmentally sound projects that are viable in the long-term. Sustainable development requires structural economic change and the foundation of that change is investment. In developing nations with low levels of domestic savings, investment predictably comes from abroad in the form of foreign direct investment. A large and ever expanding number of international investment agreements are in place to govern these transactions. While these accords seek to foster development while mitigating the risk involved in these types investments, many questions remain unresolved. This highly insightful book reflects the contributions of a variety of world renowned experts each of which is designed to provide the reader with valuable perspective on recent developments in investment law negotiations and jurisprudence from a sustainable development law perspective. It offers answers to pertinent questions concerning advancements in investment law, including the negotiation of numerous regional and bilateral agreements as well as the increasing number of disputes resolved in the World Bank's International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), from different developed and developing country perspectives. It lays out future directions for new treaty negotiations and dispute settlement proceedings, as well as ongoing investment promotion efforts, against a background of rapidly evolving international relationships between economic, environment and development law. It focuses on key issues in investment laws which have emerged as priorities in the negotiation of bilateral and regional investment agreements, and have been clarified through recent decisions of the ICSID and other arbitral panel awards.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of the Use of Force in International Law by : Marc Weller

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prohibition of the use of force in international law is one of the major achievements of international law in the past century. The attempt to outlaw war as a means of national policy and to establish a system of collective security after both World Wars resulted in the creation of the United Nations Charter, which remains a principal point of reference for the law on the use of force to this day. There have, however, been considerable challenges to the law on the prohibition ofThe prohibition of the use of force in international law is one of the major achievements of international law in the past century. The attempt to outlaw war as a means of national policy and to establish a system of collective security after both World Wars resulted in the creation of the United Nations Charter, which remains a principal point of reference for the law on the use of force to this day. There have, however, been considerable challenges to the law on the prohibition of the use of force over the past two decades. This Oxford Handbook is a comprehensive and authoritative study of the modern law on the use of force. Over seventy experts in the field offer a detailed analysis, and to an extent a restatement, of the law in this area. The Handbook reviews the status of the law on the use of force, and assesses what changes, if any, have occurred in consequence to recent developments. It offers cutting-edge and up-to-date scholarship on all major aspects of the prohibition of the use of force. The work is set in context by an extensive introductory section, reviewing the history of the subject, recent challenges, and addressing major conceptual approaches. Its second part addresses collective security, in particular the law and practice of the United Nations organs, and of regional organizations and arrangements. It then considers the substance of the prohibition of the use of force, and of the right to self-defence and associated doctrines. The next section is devoted to armed action undertaken on behalf of peoples and populations. This includes self-determination conflicts, resistance to armed occupation, and forcible humanitarian and pro-democratic action. The possibility of the revival of classical, expansive justifications for the use of force is then addressed. This is matched by a final section considering new security challenges and the emerging law in relation to them. Finally, the key arguments developed in the book are tied together in a substantive conclusion. The Handbook will be essential reading for scholars and students of international law and the use of force, and legal advisers to both government and NGOs.

Book excerpt: Extrait de la couverture : "Debunking the myths about domestic violence - in defence of battered women who kill : *why do men abuse?, *why don't abused women leave them?, *why do some women kill?, *and why they qualify for legal defence? The Justice for Women Campaign was initiated in 1998 by the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation. As its name suggests, the campaign seeks to promote the just and equitable treatments of battered women who have killed their abusive partners. The Campaign has three main goals : reforming legal defences to murder and sentencing guidelines ; establishing a review mechanism to allow for the early release of women who have killed abusive partners ; and providing legal and support services to women assisted by the Campaign."
Book Synopsis Science and the Precautionary Principle in International Courts and Tribunals by : Caroline E. Foster

This book was released on 2011-03-24 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By canvassing a range of international scientific disputes, including the EC-Biotech and EC-Hormones disputes in the WTO, the case concerning Pulp Mills and the Gabcíkovo–Nagymaros case in the International Court of Justice, and the Mox Plant and Land Reclamation cases dealt with under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Caroline Foster examines how the precautionary principle can be accommodated within the rules about proof and evidence and advises on the boundary emerging between the roles of experts and tribunals. A new form of reassessment proceedings for use in exceptional cases is proposed. Breaking new ground, this book seeks to advance international adjudicatory practice by contextualising developments in the taking of expert evidence and analysing the justification of and potential techniques for a precautionary reversal of the burden of proof, as well as methods for dealing with important scientific discoveries subsequent to judgements and awards.

Book Synopsis The Flow of Endtime Events by : Richard Suchy
Download or read book The Flow of Endtime Events written by Richard Suchy and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-04-06 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the leading of the Holy Spirit are required as first steps in understanding the Bible. God then requires that believers diligently study His Word with open hearts and minds as they seek His truth. This book is intended as a study aid in understanding Bible prophecy. Questions addressed include:How will victory over world terrorism lead to something even more horrifying? What can we deduce about the personality and cultural background of Antichrist? What part does the ancient Wailing Wall in Jerusalem play in prophecy? Why do so many people believe in a seven-year "Tribulation" when the Bible teaches that the first half of this period is a time of peace? How will religious freedom lead to the outlawing of true Christianity? Why will God allow His people to suffer at the hands of Antichrist? Why do so many people believe in the imminent return of Christ when the Bible clearly indicates that certain events must happen first? Why will most of the earth's population look to Satan as the world's hope of salvation and see Jesus Christ as the super villain of the universe?
