Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is an exercise in practical comparative law. It examines how justice is administered in a unitary State with two extraneous legal systems, the common law and the civil law. The whole work is divided into six main parts. Part One explores the phenomenon of law in pre-colonial societies and explains how Cameroon came to have two extraneous legal systems. The German, French and British systems of colonial justice in Cameroon are critically discussed in Part Two. Part Three takes the machinery of justice as its focus of inquiry. It begins with a survey of the constitutional setting and them proceeds to deal with the courts system and the outward manifestation of the legal order - the magistracy and the legal profession. Part Five treats the administration of criminal and military justice while Part Four concentrates on those branches of the civil law on which there is now a common substantive law and procedure, namely, labour law, le contentieux administratif, and customary law. Part Six rounds off this study with an examination of a number of topical issues - human rights, law reform, legal education, and the cost of justice. The entire thesis runs to twenty chapters. Style and treatment have not been the same in all of them. Nor has an attempt been made to give equal space and attention to each part or chapter - as if one were dividing an academic cake into symmetrical slices. There are topics which call for and have received more detailed analysis than others.

Download or read book Pursuing Good Governance written by Hugh Corder and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the age of democratic constitutional government, every citizen expects to be treated fairly by the public administration. Constitutions adopted after 1990 have increasingly contained provisions that oblige the public administration to act lawfully, reasonably and procedurally fairly, and frequently grant citizens the legal right to seek review of administrative action affecting them. Southern African nations have led the way in this movement, closely followed by those in east Africa. This book brings together critical accounts of the development of the broad administrative justice landscape in seven national jurisdictions located in these regions. It does this by analysing trends in the review authority and practice of the superior courts, as well as significant developments in non-judicial monitoring institutions, such as ombuds offices, human rights commissions, and mechanisms to access official information."--Back cover.
Download or read book The International Commission of Jurists written by Lucian G. Weeramantry and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The object of this volume is to present a comprehensive survey of the early history and activities of the International Commission of Jurists, highlighting its achievements in defining, developing, and promoting the Rule of Law. It seeks to give readers an awareness of the Commission's unique role in the evolution of the Rule of Law concept, which is not otherwise available. While there were several international organizations, including the Commission, working in the field of human rights following upon the adoption of the Universal Declaration, the Commission was unique in that it focused on the development of the Rule of Law as a sine qua non for the protection and advancement of human rights. The scope of this work is therefore much wider than mere identification and promotion of human rights. It deals with the principles identified by the Commission as underlying the Rule of Law and the institutions and procedure necessary to safeguard those principles; it reviews in-depth studies by eminent jurists on aspects of the Rule of Law; it surveys applications and violations of the Rule of Law in different countries or regions of the world; and it draws attention to trials of persons arrested or detained under cover of legislation patently offending against the Rule of Law. The work also covers the many initiatives taken by the Commission either by itself or in collaboration with the United Nations and other international organizations to ensure better recognition of and respect for the Rule of Law and human rights. Reference is made in this connection to different initiatives of national sections both at the regional and national level.

This book was released on 1996-03 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Survey of Family Law, published on behalf of the International Society of Family Law, is the successor to the `Annual Survey of Family Law'. It provides information, analysis and comment on recent developments in Family Law across the world on a country-by- country basis. The Survey is published annually and its subtitle reflects the calendar year surveyed. Where a country has been regularly surveyed each year, the developments discussed correspond to the year in question. If certain countries have not been surveyed for some years the contributions will usually attempt to cover the intervening period. This applies, for example, in the present volume to the contributions relating to China and Turkey. If countries are being covered for the first time, then more background information will be provided about the state of family law in the country in question. Examples in this volume are the contributions from Bulgaria and Malta.
Download or read book The Federal Court of Appeal and the Federal Court written by Martine Valois and published by Irwin Law. This book was released on 2021-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Court of Appeal and Federal Court are unique among Canada's courts because they are itinerant -- they hear cases in all parts of Canada -- as well as being bilingual and bijural. This book was prepared for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Federal Courts in 2021. Seventy-eight current and retired judges and prothonotaries on the two courts were interviewed and are referred to throughout the book. The authors present a brief history of these courts and their predecessor -- the Exchequer Court of Canada -- and an overview of the courts' jurisdiction, decision-making trends, and unique attributes. There are chapters on each of the courts' specialties -- administrative law, immigration and refugee law, intellectual property, security and intelligence, Indigenous issues, the environment, admiralty, labour and human rights, and tax. Chief Justice Noël and Chief Justice Crampton each contribute a chapter. The preface is by Justice Frank Iacobucci and the epilogue by Justice Robert Décary.
Download or read book Diplomacy and Nation Building in Africa written by Mélanie Torrent and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-11 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cameroon stands as a remarkable example of nation-building in the aftermath of European domination. Split between the French and British empires after World War I, it experienced a unique drive for self-determination at the turn of the 1960s, culminating in both independence from European power and the re-unification of two of its divided territories. This book investigates the influence of foreign policy on nation-building in West Africa in the context of both the Cold War and European integration. Shedding fresh light on the challenges of bridging the political, economic and linguistic divide that France and Britain had left, Melanie Torrent explores the evolution of a nation, charting both Cameroon's importance in Franco-British relations and Cameroon's use of bilateral and multilateral diplomacy in asserting its independence. This work should be essential reading for students of African studies, International Relations and the post-colonial world.
Download or read book The Challenge of Crime in a Free Society written by United States. President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice -- established by President Lyndon Johnson on July 23, 1965 -- addresses the causes of crime and delinquency and recommends how to prevent crime and delinquency and improve law enforcement and the administration of criminal justice. In developing its findings and recommendations, the Commission held three national conferences, conducted five national surveys, held hundreds of meetings, and interviewed tens of thousands of individuals. Separate chapters of this report discuss crime in America, juvenile delinquency, the police, the courts, corrections, organized crime, narcotics and drug abuse, drunkenness offenses, gun control, science and technology, and research as an instrument for reform. Significant data were generated by the Commission's National Survey of Criminal Victims, the first of its kind conducted on such a scope. The survey found that not only do Americans experience far more crime than they report to the police, but they talk about crime and the reports of crime engender such fear among citizens that the basic quality of life of many Americans has eroded. The core conclusion of the Commission, however, is that a significant reduction in crime can be achieved if the Commission's recommendations (some 200) are implemented. The recommendations call for a cooperative attack on crime by the Federal Government, the States, the counties, the cities, civic organizations, religious institutions, business groups, and individual citizens. They propose basic changes in the operations of police, schools, prosecutors, employment agencies, defenders, social workers, prisons, housing authorities, and probation and parole officers.

Download or read book Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Download or read book Administrative Law and Government Action written by Hazel Genn and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1994 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Administrative Law and Government Action offers a new collection of essays on important and often contentious aspects of administrative law: the propriety of judicial intervention in government, for example, and the implications of our membership of the European Union. The individual contributions are informed by a wide variety of theoretical perspectives, and are drawn together by certain common themes: the constitutional role of judicial review, its efficacy as a mechanism for the regulation of government decision-making, and the scope and impact of alternative mechanisms, such as tribunals, administrative reviews and ombudsmen. All chapters address issues of current significance and, while some develop a broad conceptual analysis, others rely on a more internal critique. Each contributor sets out both to provide an accessible synthesis of existing literature and to develop his or her own critical approach. Considerable emphasis is also placed on the results of relevant empirical research where available. The volume falls into two parts. Part I is concerned primarily with judicial review and its appropriate constitutional role, while Part II discusses alternative mechanisms for the regulation of government action.
