Download or read book Constitutional Law in France written by Marie-Luce Paris and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this very useful analysis of constitutional law in France provides essential information on the country’s sources of constitutional law, its form of government, and its administrative structure. Lawyers who handle transnational matters will appreciate the clarifications of particular terminology and its application. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes the specific points at which constitutional law affects the interpretation of legal rules and procedure. Thorough coverage by a local expert fully describes the political system, the historical background, the role of treaties, legislation, jurisprudence, and administrative regulations. The discussion of the form and structure of government outlines its legal status, the jurisdiction and workings of the central state organs, the subdivisions of the state, its decentralized authorities, and concepts of citizenship. Special issues include the legal position of aliens, foreign relations, taxing and spending powers, emergency laws, the power of the military, and the constitutional relationship between church and state. Details are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for both practising and academic jurists. Lawyers representing parties with interests in France will welcome this guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative constitutional law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Liber Amicorum is dedicated to an exceptional lawyer who laid many foundations of international finance and development law - Ibrahim F.I. Shihata - in commemoration of his retirement from the World Bank after 15 years of service as Vice-President (later Senior Vice-President) and General Counsel, and Secretary-General of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. Ibrahim F.I. Shihata's groundbreaking contributions to the theory and practice of international law arose out of his service in major international finance and development institutions. Among the positions he held prior to his service at the World Bank and ICSID were: Legal Adviser, Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development; Executive Director, International Fund for Agricultural Development; Director-General, OPEC Fund for International Development; and Chairman, International Development Law Institute. He shaped these institutions' legal architecture, and advanced these institutions' contribution to development. This Liber Amicorum brings together essays of incumbent or former general counsels or heads of the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation, the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Inter-American Investment Corporation, the Asian Development Bank, the African Development Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Islamic Development Bank, the Nordic Investment Bank, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, the OPEC Fund, the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, and other international finance and development institutions. Collectively with distinguished academics, jurists, and arbitrators in international tribunals, such as the International Court of Justice, World Trade Organization's Appellate Body, and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, well-known practitioners and colleagues of Dr. Shihata at the World Bank's Legal Department, they write about current and emerging issues in international finance and development law. These include issues such as the various institutions' special development assistance profile, the settlement of international investment disputes, foreign investment law, legal and judicial reform, the environment, the rule of law, corruption, accountability of international financial institutions, etc., reflecting the broad spectrum of the part of law to the development of which Ibrahim Shihata contributed tremendously.

Download or read book A Life Interrupted Essays in honour of the lives and legacies of Christof Heyns written by Frans Viljoen and published by Pretoria University Law Press. This book was released on 2022-01-10 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the publication This volume of essays, A life interrupted: essays in honour of the lives and legacies of Christof Heyns, honours Christof Heyns, renowned human rights lawyer, advocate, activist and educator, but also down-to-earth family man, friend and colleague. Christof’s sudden and most untimely passing on 28 March 2021 deeply saddened those close to him but also evinced an outpouring of grief from the national and international human rights community. His passing brought a deep sense of loss, in part because, at age 62, he was fully engaged in contributing to the betterment of society and still had so much more to give. His is a life interrupted. But at the same time, looking back over the varied lives he lived, he had already left his mark in so many ways. His influences and impacts are manifold and magical. This collection not only testifies to the legacy that he has left us, but also to the ongoing efforts of many to continue building on his legacy. This collection contains two sets of essays by family members, friends, colleagues, collaborators and students. Part A contains essays of a more reflective and personal nature, while the contributions in Part B link to the scholarly or academic themes Christof had worked on and explored, including international human rights systems, international law, the right to life, freedom of association, international humanitarian law, the impact of human rights treaties, constitutionalism and legal philosophy. However, a neat distinction between the personal and professional is not possible in respect of such a warm, generous and enthusiastic person as Christof. Most of the essays in Part A integrate some of Christof’s professional and academic achievements, while many of the essays in Part B also reflect on Christof as a person. The editors, all based at the Faculty of Law, UP, are colleagues and friends who worked closely with Christof. Frans Viljoen succeeded Christof as Director of the Centre for Human Rights. Christof was his doctoral supervisor, mentor and research collaborator. Charles Fombad worked with Christof at ICLA, and took over as ICLA Director after Christof’s passing. Dire Tladi, an ICLA fellow, had his office just across from Christof in ICLA. As member of the International Law Commission, he shared with Christof high level engagement with the UN. While Christof served on the Human Rights Committee, his colleague Ann Skelton serves on the Committee on the Rights of the Child. Magnus Killander worked closely with Christof as co-author and co-editor. Christof was also his doctoral supervisor. The publication date of this book is 10 January 2022, which is the date marking 63 years since Christof’s birth. The publisher is the Pretoria University Law Press (PULP), of which Christof was also a founder.

Download or read book Constitutional Reform in Britain and France written by Elizabeth Gibson-Morgan and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any attempt at comparing contemporary change in the UK and France is a bold one, since it means discussing two very different countries with strong distinctive constitutional identities. This book places its emphasis on the shared historical, political and cultural background of the UK and France, before focusing on the sweeping transformation of their constitutional frameworks in the past quarter of a century at a national and regional level – with a particular emphasis on Wales and Scotland – which culminated in the June 2016 referendum on Britain’s EU membership. Instead of examining each country separately, however, as is traditional, this study breaks new ground by explaining the pattern of institutional development in Britain and France from a comparative Franco-British perspective. It explores the complexities of recent constitutional change in both countries in an original and comprehensive way, and gives both British and French readers a deeper understanding of the two countries that have some much in common even though Brexit could drive them apart.
Download or read book Division of Power Continuity and Change written by Marcin Romanowski and published by Wydawnictwo Instytutu Wymiaru Sprawiedliwości. This book was released on with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The separation of powers doctrine is undoubtedly one of the key principles of contemporary constitutionalism. Despite this, it has not been framed into a single, homogeneous, and thus universal form. The abundance of approaches and nuances found in legal and political doctrine makes it an extremely labile and meandering concept, which can take on a variety of shapes. Its legislative articulation is by no means uniform, and thus reproducible, either. The separation of powers in constitutional law is therefore expressed in a broad array of formulas, sometimes explicitly, sometimes implicitly. In addition, it can take on a classic, almost model form, or it can be shaped in a significantly altered manner compared to what we used to call its model […] …the dispersion of ideas about what the separation of powers is, where it originates or how to best frame and apply it in legislation and practice does not deprive the separation of powers of the nature of a timeless general notion that underlies the very concept of the division of power. After all, the impulse to formulate the assumptions for the separation of powers was in each case triggered by the desire to eliminate the vesting of unlimited or excessive power in an individual or a narrow, oligarchised group. Therefore, its essence and also the main advantage is, first of all, protection against the despotism of power, which translates into the specific benefit of consolidation of institutional guarantees of civil rights and liberties through the attribution of individual power functions to different branches of government, and then their clear separation”.

Download or read book Lexique de droit constitutionnel written by Pierre Avril and published by Presses Universitaires de France - PUF. This book was released on 2012-01-11 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le vocabulaire constitutionnel nomme les acteurs que l’actualité met quotidiennement en scène (le président de la République, le Premier ministre, les députés...) et des activités tout aussi présentes dans les médias (le vote d’une loi ou sa censure par le Conseil constitutionnel). S’il est souvent familier et apparemment sans difficulté, ce vocabulaire présente aussi un caractère technique qui appelle l’explication, comme le fameux article 49-3. Ce vocabulaire peut être plus trompeur encore lorsqu’il parle, par exemple, de « représentant », de « mandat » ou encore de « responsabilité » : dans ces cas, le faux-sens est d’autant plus à redouter qu’il ne s’agit pas seulement de termes du langage courant, mais aussi de notions juridiques empruntées au droit privé en leur donnant une signification toute différente. Le présent lexique propose d’expliquer simplement les mots du droit constitutionnel.
