Download or read book Public petitions and early day motions written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Procedure Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-05-22 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public Petitions and Early Day Motions (EDMs) are both processes that are used by Members of Parliament to bring to the attention of the House of Commons the concerns of particular groups of the population. EDMS are frequently drafted by groups or organizations outside the House and then tabled by Members as demonstrations of support for them. Both procedures allow the public to engage with Parliament, either directly, by signing a Petition, or indirectly, by urging their Member of Parliament to add his or her name to an EDM. This report examines the current procedures that govern them, whether they are appropriate and effective and how well they meet the demands which Members wish to make of them. For Public Petitions the Committee recommends: a requirement on the Government to respond formally to all petitions within two months of their presentation; publication of the texts of petitions and responses to them in Hansard; easier access to petitions on the parliamentary website and opportunities for debates on petitions in Westminster Hall. For Early Day Motions, the Committee recommends the continuation of the present arrangements for the printing of EDMs, but there should be further consideration of e-tabling and that the Modernisation Committee should consider the introduction of a separate procedure to allow substantive motions tabled by backbenchers to be debated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A brilliant and bracing analysis of the Palestine question and settler colonialism . . . a vital lens into movement lawyering on the international plane.” —Vasuki Nesiah, New York University, founding member of Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) Justice in the Question of Palestine is often framed as a question of law. Yet none of the Israel-Palestinian conflict’s most vexing challenges have been resolved by judicial intervention. Occupation law has failed to stem Israel’s settlement enterprise. Laws of war have permitted killing and destruction during Israel’s military offensives in the Gaza Strip. The Oslo Accord’s two-state solution is now dead letter. Justice for Some offers a new approach to understanding the Palestinian struggle for freedom, told through the power and control of international law. Focusing on key junctures—from the Balfour Declaration in 1917 to present-day wars in Gaza—Noura Erakat shows how the strategic deployment of law has shaped current conditions. Over the past century, the law has done more to advance Israel’s interests than the Palestinians’. But, Erakat argues, this outcome was never inevitable. Law is politics, and its meaning and application depend on the political intervention of states and people alike. Within the law, change is possible. International law can serve the cause of freedom when it is mobilized in support of a political movement. Presenting the promise and risk of international law, Justice for Some calls for renewed action and attention to the Question of Palestine. “Careful and captivating . . . This book asks that the Palestinian liberation struggle and Jewish-Israeli society each reckon with the impossibility of a two-state future, reimagining what their interests are—and what they could become.” —Amanda McCaffrey, Jewish Currents

Download or read book The Federalist Papers written by Alexander Hamilton and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.

Download or read book An Hour And Its Policy Implications written by Romeo Vincent Tete and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-07-28 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any literature of parliamentary devices involves a deep delving into the living heart of a nation. Parliamentary devices and conventions are the living blood of the lifeline of a nation. Thus, any book, journal or literature which dwells upon any issue of parliament has to thrive on reality. The reality in this context symbolizes the hopes, aspirations of the people, for this is what parliament is meant for. In this genre, an attempt has been made to delve down into the alleys of a very poignant and effective parliamentary device viz. the 'Question Hour', to gauge its role, importance, and impact on the framing of government policies for the wellbeing of the entire nation. The study is also a purposeful meandering through various facets of the institution of parliament and its members to explore and unearth the effectiveness or sloppiness of the system, if any, its existing nuances in various other parliaments of the world, observances and subtleties of the system, their character traits with particular emphasis on its impacts on framing and shaping government policies in India.
