Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the emergence and contestation of State responsibility for rebels during the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. In the context of decolonisation and capitalist expansion in Latin America, it argues that the mixed claims commissions-and the practices of intervention associated with them-served to insulate economic order against revolution, by taking the question of who assumed the risk of harm by rebels out of the scope of national authority. The jurisprudence of the commissions was contradictory and ambiguous. It took a lot of interpretive work by later scholars and codifiers to rationalise rules of responsibility out of these shaky foundations, as they battled for the meaning and authority of the arbitral practice. The legal debates were structured around whether the standard of protection against rebels owed to aliens was nationally or internationally determined and whether it was domestic or international authority that adjudicated such standard-a struggle over the internationalisation of protection against rebels.

The quest for an inclusive and independent state has been at the center of the Palestinian national struggle for a very long time. This book critically explores the meaning of Palestinian statehood and the challenges that face alternative models to it. Giving prominence to a young set of diverse Palestinian scholars, this groundbreaking book shows how notions of citizenship, sovereignty, and nationhood are being rethought within the broader context of decolonization. Bringing forth critical and multifaceted engagements with what modern Palestinian self-determination entails, Rethinking Statehood sets the terms of debate for the future of Palestine beyond partition.

Download or read book A Guide to the Formation of the Constitution written by Richard Carl Shellhorn and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the United States. All elected officials, both at the National and State level, are required to swear an oath of allegiance to uphold and support our Constitution. All military personnel and many professions, including those who are trained in law, are required to swear loyalty to the Constitution by oath. But do those people actually know what the oath requires them to adhere to? Have they been properly educated on the formation of the Constitution by those Delegates sent by the States in May of 1787 to Philadelphia to write the Constitution? Unless the person has studied how the process transpired from introduction of principles to the finished Constitution, they have a poor understanding and are less knowledgeable than can be imagined. This book is not a rearrangement of the words that changes the meaning and intent of the speaker, but exactly the words spoken and written to give more emphasis to the intent. The Constitution can only be understood by the intent of the Deputies in 1787. Many deceitful men and women want the undereducated to believe that following the War for Independence from an unjust British government, that those Deputies would base our new Constitution on English Common Law. That notion is further from the truth than even they know and the cause of incorrect rulings in Federal courts. When you read this condensed-by-editing book of the Notes of James Madison, the edited version by Max Farrand; the edited pieces from Plutarch's Lives of Solon, Themistocles, and Pericles; and selected laws from Ancient Roman Statutes, you may better understand the educational background the Deputies were exposed to before the formation of our Constitution. Learn why and how the Constitution came together with the intent to provide a government where the people are to be represented at fixed ratio of one Representative per thirty thousand (30, 000) inhabitants.

Download or read book Places of Refuge written by Eric Van Hooydonk and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for specific legal arrangements governing ships in distress and places of refuge is one of the most topical problems in both public and private maritime law. The headline grabbing shipping disasters involving the loss of the Erika (1999) and the Prestige (2002) attracted the attention of the IMO, the Comité Maritime International, the European Union, national maritime authorities around the globe and the maritime industry in general. Ultimately the impact of pollution on local economies and the environment was enough to arouse the concern of a broad swathe of public opinion. Places of Refuge provides clarity on: • The scope of the right of access • The conditions under which coastal authorities may deny access • The liability of authorities granting or denying access • The basis and the conditions of financial securities • The obligation to establish contingency plans

Download or read book The Palestine Question in International Law written by Victor Kattan and published by British Institute for International & Comparative Law. This book was released on 2008 with total page 1248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of Palestine has been a pivotal one for international law ever since the foundation of the UN in 1945. It remains so today. On July 9, 2004, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) gave its advisory opinion on the Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in Occupied Palestinian Territory. It ruled on some major international law questions concerning the applicability of the Geneva Civilians Convention of 1949 to prolonged occupations, as well as human rights law more generally. It confirmed the illegality of the Israeli civilian settlements established on occupied Palestinian territory and affirmed the continuing relevancy of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, which it considered an obligation erga omnes. The ICJ did not, however, rule on many of the international law questions pertaining to Final Status Issues which still need to be negotiated between the Israeli and Palestinian leadership if peace is to ever be accomplished in the Holy Land. In this series of essays, some of the most important questions relating to the Israel-Palestine conflict are addressed and reproduced in one complete volume, coinciding with the 60th anniversary of the creation of Israel and the demise of the British mandate of Palestine.

Download or read book Statelessness written by William Conklin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Statelessness' is a legal status denoting lack of any nationality, a status whereby the otherwise normal link between an individual and a state is absent. The increasingly widespread problem of statelessness has profound legal, social, economic and psychological consequences but also gives rise to the paradox of an international community that claims universal standards for all natural persons while allowing its member states to allow statelessness to occur. In this powerfully argued book, Conklin critically evaluates traditional efforts to recognize and reduce statelessness. The problem, he argues, rests in the obligatory nature of law, domestic or international. By closely analysing a broad spectrum of court and tribunal judgments from many jurisdictions, Conklin explains how confusion has arisen between two discourses, the one discourse inside the other, as to the nature of the international community. One discourse, a surface discourse, describes a community in which international law justifies a state's freedom to confer, withdraw or withhold nationality. This international community incorporates state freedom over nationality matters, bringing about the de jure and effective stateless condition. The other discourse, an inner discourse, highlights a legal bond of socially experienced relationships. Such a bond, judicially referred to as 'effective nationality', is binding upon all states, and where such a bond exists, harm to a stateless person represents harm to the international community as a whole.
