Download or read book The Rule of Law in International Affairs written by Ian Brownlie and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 1998-08-26 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume consists of a carefully edited version of the General Course on Public International Law delivered at the Hague Academy of International Law to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the United Nations. The author brings to them not only his background of academic distinction, but his experience as a practitioner concerned with major international legal issues. The rule of law in international affairs is a question of perennial concern but it is of greater moment these days for a number of reasons. The active agenda of the Security Council and its relative solidarity creates a paradox. Its increased political power is a source of hope but the modalities of the exercise of power present problems of principle and of legal concern. Another area of concern is the International Court, which has had a successful record since the early eighties and provides one of the guarantees of the maintenance of legality. Recent successes of the Court include the effective resolution of the territorial dispute between Chad and Libya. The general level of compliance with its decisions by States is impressive. Yet its success is matched not by encouragement and enhancement of its facilities but by United Nations financial constraints which hinder its work and, ultimately, may threaten its independence in relation to the political organs of the United Nations.

Download or read book Connecting Histories of Education written by Barnita Bagchi and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of education in the modern world is a history of transnational and cross-cultural influence. This collection explores those influences in (post) colonial and indigenous education across different geographical contexts. The authors emphasize how local actors constructed their own adaptation of colonialism, identity, and autonomy, creating a multi-centric and entangled history of modern education. In both formal as well as informal aspects, they demonstrate that transnational and cross-cultural exchanges in education have been characterized by appropriation, re-contextualization, and hybridization, thereby rejecting traditional notions of colonial education as an export of pre-existing metropolitan educational systems.

Download or read book Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century written by Bethwell A. Ogot and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of years of work by scholars from all over the world, The UNESCO General History of Africa reflects how the different peoples of Africa view their civilizations and shows the historical relationships between the various parts of the continent. Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography. This fifth volume of the acclaimed series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the close of the eighteenth century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade--with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world. In North Africa, we see the Ottomans conquer Egypt. South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse, and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.

Download or read book Charte des droits fondamentaux de l Union europ enne et Convention europ enne des droits de l homme written by Laurent Coutron and published by Primento. This book was released on 2012-09-03 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En leur temps, l’élaboration jurisprudentielle d’un droit communautaire des droits fondamentaux et la proclamation de la Charte des droits fondamentaux de l’Union n’ont pas manqué de poser la question d’une complémentarité et/ou d’une concurrence avec le système de la Convention européenne des droits de l’homme. Mais les termes du débat semblent désormais renouvelés depuis que l’entrée en vigueur du traité de Lisbonne a fait sortir la Charte de la catégorie des textes déclaratoires et engagé l’Union à adhérer à la Convention. La place et le poids de ces deux instruments s’en voyant modifiés, la période invite à repenser les relations entre les deux systèmes de garantie des droits de l’homme dans l’espace européen. Aussi l’ouvrage veut-il davantage s’intéresser à la théorie de l’équivalence des protections, à la fois comme élément de cohérence matérielle (dans le contenu des garanties offertes par la Charte et la Convention) et comme instrument d’articulation fonctionnelle (entre les contrôles respectivement assurés par la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne et par la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme), en intégrant une réflexion sur ce que pourrait ou devrait impliquer à cet égard l’adhésion en termes d’ajustement de leurs compétences. En prise sur les développements les plus récents, l’ouvrage se propose ainsi de jeter un nouveau regard sur l’avenir de la protection juridictionnelle des droits fondamentaux en Europe. Il intéressera les praticiens, confrontés aux problèmes de la coexistence et de l’articulation entre droit de l’Union et droit de la Convention, les professeurs, les chercheurs et les étudiants du troisième cycle.

This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prévue par le Traité de Lisbonne, l’adhésion de l’Union européenne à la Convention européenne des droits de l’homme est appelée à devenir un événement majeur dans l’histoire juridique européenne, car elle permettra enfin aux particuliers et aux entreprises de soumettre au contrôle de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme les actes des institutions de l’Union européenne, dont l’importance croissante dans la vie de tous les jours n’est plus à démontrer. Au terme de presque trois années de négociations, un projet de traité permettant cette adhésion a été adopté le 5 avril 2013. A la lumière de ce projet, l'ouvrage analyse de façon synthétique, dans un langage simple mais rigoureux, les raisons, les moyens et les effets de l’adhésion de l’Union européenne à la Convention.

Book excerpt: "His life changed that of his nation." John English illuminates the years of Lester Pearson's greatest eminence, and vividly explores his life and times. His period as prime minister was to prove one of the most decisive in our history, and his policies helped shape Canada’s foremost international statesman. The Lester Pearson who emerges from the account of these momentous years—from the Korean War, through the tumultuous sixties to his death in 1972—is a complex, paradoxical figure. A man uneasy with ambition, who shunned the flamboyance of his arch-rival Diefenbaker, Pearson nevertheless competed for the most glittering prize in Canadian political life. World recognition brought him the Nobel Peace Prize, yet in his battle to maintain independence for his country he deliberately incurred the wrath of its powerful traditional allies, particularly Lyndon Johnson whom he heartily disliked. He was oddly unprepared personally to take on Canada’s highest political office, and led the Liberal Party to the worst defeat in its history, yet went on to sponsor astonishing, far-reaching changes in Canadian society—bilingualism, biculturalism, medicare, modern Canadian nationalism, and co-operative federalism--all innovations of the Pearson years. And while he has been called our greatest prime minister, other see him as the leader of a government that created many of Canada’s discontents, and crises and scandals that swirled about him. Most paradoxically of all perhaps, this unassuming man became a national icon, winning a lasting place in the hearts and minds of a generation of Canadians. In this second volume of his award-winning biography, John English has had remarkable access to Pearson’s personal and political papers, drawing on the letters and diaries and private papers of a host of his contemporaries, and on personal interviews with his family and friends, rivals and foes alike. The result is a compellingly readable—a richly detailed portrait of Canada and of a remarkable Canadian whose impact was immense.
