Download or read book The Global Constitution written by Anonymous and published by Michael Mathiesen. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent Coronavirus pandemic has taught us that our individual governments are not up to the job of taking on global challenges. What will happen when the next global crisis brought forth by the growing Climate Crisis? What will happen when things get really raunchy and we are all forced to fight for the scraps of a failing world environment coming soon? The only answer is to form a new Global Government and for that we will all need a Global Constitution that is acceptable to all and that protects and extends the RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS that we all agree are God-given and deserve to be given to all persons living on the Earth today - not just the lucky few who happen to be born in a more politically advanced society. No one should be forced to live under a tyrant or dictator. Nowhere on this planet should laws be made that we all abide by without a DEMOCRATIC PROCESS of approval by the people who are wanting to live under the laws of the land. No country should be able to bully another country because they have bigger cannons or the latest machine guns, cannons, bombs and bombers. No country should live in fear of a neighbor. No person should live in fear of their government. Every person should have the right to a say in how their government works and be the authority in every sense of the word. All people should have the right to a referendum on any given issue whose results must be obeyed by the government because all government derives from the people. Government's purpose is not to enslave its people, but to be enslaved by them. No government shall have the right to destroy the planet even if they are able to keep their destruction within their own borders. The Earth belongs to us all. Not a square inch of it belongs to a politician, a ruler, a political party or a corporation. All of the Earth is shared by all and its resources must never be squandered and there should be a global authority capable of enforcing the preservation of the Earth. If you don't complete reading this book and you are not 100% convinced that it's time for a Global Constitution, then I believe you are the results of hundreds of years of brainwashing and all is lost for the Human Race if there is more of you than people who are not brainwashed and can still think clearly. This is not Communism. This is not Socialism. This is not Republican or Democratic. This Global Constitution is merely the life-long research and original thought of one person, the author, who believes that the equality and harmony and unity offered by a Global Constitution for all people of the Earth is completely logical and will someday be taken for granted by countless generations of our kind for thousands of years to come - that is if we can survive the mess that out-dated, horse-and-buggy political systems have delivered to us and which is killing us, even bringing us to the edge of Extinction. With a completely new and revolutionary move in the right direction, Humankind can avert total catastrophe and it is in this spirit that the completely new Global Constitution, the One World Government to Save The Earth is offered.
Download or read book National Constitutions in European and Global Governance Democracy Rights the Rule of Law written by Anneli Albi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 1522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume book, published open access, brings together leading scholars of constitutional law from twenty-nine European countries to revisit the role of national constitutions at a time when decision-making has increasingly shifted to the European and transnational level. It offers important insights into three areas. First, it explores how constitutions reflect the transfer of powers from domestic to European and global institutions. Secondly, it revisits substantive constitutional values, such as the protection of constitutional rights, the rule of law, democratic participation and constitutional review, along with constitutional court judgments that tackle the protection of these rights and values in the transnational context, e.g. with regard to the Data Retention Directive, the European Arrest Warrant, the ESM Treaty, and EU and IMF austerity measures. The responsiveness of the ECJ regarding the above rights and values, along with the standard of protection, is also assessed. Thirdly, challenges in the context of global governance in relation to judicial review, democratic control and accountability are examined. On a broader level, the contributors were also invited to reflect on what has increasingly been described as the erosion or ‘twilight’ of constitutionalism, or a shift to a thin version of the rule of law, democracy and judicial review in the context of Europeanisation and globalisation processes. The national reports are complemented by a separately published comparative study, which identifies a number of broader trends and challenges that are shared across several Member States and warrant wider discussion. The research for this publication and the comparative study were carried out within the framework of the ERC-funded project ‘The Role and Future of National Constitutions in European and Global Governance’. The book is aimed at scholars, researchers, judges and legal advisors working on the interface between national constitutional law and EU and transnational law. The extradition cases are also of interest to scholars and practitioners in the field of criminal law. Anneli Albi is Professor of European Law at the University of Kent, United Kingdom. Samo Bardutzky is Assistant Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Download or read book The United Nations Charter as the Constitution of the International Community written by Bardo Fassbender and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The a oeconstitutionalizationa of international law is one of the most intensely debated issues in contemporary international legal doctrine. The term is used to describe a number of features which distinguish the present international legal order from a oeclassicala international law, in particular its shift from bilateralism to community interest, and from an inter-state system to a global legal order committed to the well-being of the individual person. The author of this book belongs to the leading participants of the constitutionalization debate. He argues that there indeed exists a constitutional law of the international community that is built on and around the Charter of the United Nations. In this book, he explains why the Charter has a constitutional quality and what legal consequences arise from that characterization.

Download or read book Global Gender Constitutionalism and Women s Citizenship written by Ruth Rubio-Marin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constitutions around the world have overwhelmingly been the creation of men, but this book asks how far constitutions have affirmed the equal citizenship status of women or failed to do so. Using a wealth of examples from around the world, Ruth Rubio-Marín considers constitutionalism from its inception to the present day and places current debates in their vital historical context. Rubio-Marín adopts an inclusive concept of gender and sexuality, and discusses the constitutional gender order as it has been shaped by debates such those around same-sex marriage and the rights of trans persons. Covering a wide range of themes, from reproductive rights to political gender quotas and violence against women, this book offers a comprehensive feminist account of constitutional law. Truly international in scope and ambitious in subject matter, this is an invaluable resource for students and scholars working on gender within multiple disciplines.
Download or read book Global Constitutionalism written by Aydin Atilgan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides insights into the viability of the idea of global constitution. Global constitutionalism has emerged as an alternative paradigm for international law. However, in view of the complex and varied structure of contemporary constitutionalism, in reality it is extremely difficult to use constitutional law to provide a new paradigm for international law. The book argues that the cultural paradigm can offer functional tools for the global constitutionalism discourse. In other words, global constitutionalism could be handled in the context of a global “constitutional culture” instead of a global constitution. This would provide a more realistic basis for discussing global constitutionalization of a society as diverse as the international community, where a globalized polity and a globalized legal system have not yet been achieved.
Download or read book World Constitution written by Nicholas Hagger and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-29 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In World State Nicholas Hagger followed Truman, Einstein, Churchill, Eisenhower and others in calling for a democratic, partly-federal World State with sufficient authority to abolish war, enforce disarmament, combat famine, disease and poverty, and solve the world’s financial and environmental problems. Its lower house, a World Parliamentary Assembly, would initially be based in the UN General Assembly and eventually replace the UN. In this companion volume he sets out a Constitution for a United Federation of the World (UF). In 14 chapters and 145 Articles he details the UF’s structure and institutions at inter-national and supranational levels, and the rights and freedoms world citizens would be guaranteed. He lists the 26 precedents and 204 existing constitutions he consulted (including the UN Charter and the US and EU constitutional documents) and the sources on which the Articles are based. This comprehensive and authoritative Constitution sets out with great clarity and concision how the whole world can be governed, and can be laid before the UN General Assembly. As a blueprint for a World State that can bring universal peace and prosperity it may come to be regarded as one of the most remarkable feats of statecraft of our time.

Download or read book The Constitution of New Zealand written by Matthew SR Palmer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines New Zealand's constitution, through the lens of constitutional realism. It looks at the practices, habits, conventions and norms of constitutional life. It focuses on the structures, processes and culture that govern the exercise of public power – a perspective that is necessary to explore and account for a lived, rather than textual, constitution. New Zealand's constitution is unique. One of three remaining unwritten democratic constitutions in the world, it is characterised by a charming set of anachronistic contrasts. “Unwritten”, but much found in various written sources. Built on a network of Westminster constitutional conventions but generously tailored to local conditions. Proudly independent, yet perhaps a purer Westminster model than its British parent. Flexible and vulnerable, while oddly enduring. It looks to the centralised authority that comes with a strong executive, strict parliamentary sovereignty, and a unitary state. However, its populace insists on egalitarian values and representative democracy, with elections fiercely conducted nowadays under a system of proportional representation. The interests of indigenous Maori are protected largely through democratic majority rule. A reputation for upholding the rule of law, yet few institutional safeguards to ensure compliance.

Download or read book The Law of Nations and the United States Constitution written by Anthony J. Bellia Jr. and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-10 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law of Nations and the United States Constitution offers a new lens through which anyone interested in constitutional governance in the United States should analyze the role and status of customary international law in U.S. courts. The book explains that the law of nations has not interacted with the Constitution in any single overarching way. Rather, the Constitution was designed to interact in distinct ways with each of the three traditional branches of the law of nations that existed when it was adopted--namely, the law merchant, the law of state-state relations, and the law maritime. By disaggregating how different parts of the Constitution interacted with different kinds of international law, the book provides an account of historical understandings and judicial precedent that will help judges and scholars more readily identify and resolve the constitutional questions presented by judicial use of customary international law today. Part I describes the three traditional branches of the law of nations and examines their relationship with the Constitution. Part II describes the emergence of modern customary international law in the twentieth century, considers how it differs from the traditional branches of the law of nations, and explains why its role or status in U.S. courts requires an independent, context-specific analysis of its interaction with the Constitution. Part III assesses how both modern and traditional customary international law should be understood to interact with the Constitution today.
