Download or read book Extraordinary Justice written by Peter Judson Richards and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the ways military tribunals seek to administer justice The Al-Qaeda terror attacks of September 11, 2001 aroused a number of extraordinary counter measures in response, including an executive order authorizing the creation of military tribunals or “commissions” for the trial of accused terrorists. The Supreme Court has weighed in on the topic with some controversial and deeply divided decisions. Extraordinary Justice seeks to fill an important gap in our understanding of what military tribunals are, how they function, and how successful they are in administering justice by placing them in comparative and historical context. Peter Judson Richards examines tribunals in four modern conflicts: the American Civil War, the British experience in the Boer War, the French tribunals of the “Great War,” and Allied practices during the Second World War. Richards also examines the larger context of specific political, legal and military concerns, addressing scholarly and policy debates that continually arise in connection with the implementation of these extraordinary measures. He concludes that while the record of the national tribunals has been mixed, enduring elements in the character of warfare, of justice, and the nature of political reality together justify their continued use in certain situations.
Download or read book Poder absoluto written by Prieto Mir, Pep and published by Editorial UOC. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lo largo de su historia compartida, cine y política han mantenido una relación muy estrecha, que va de la mutua necesidad al juego de espejos. El cine ha documentado la evolución social y política de las distintas sociedades, pero también ha sido utilizado como instrumento de propaganda ideológica. Al mismo tiempo, la política se ha ido contagiando de la narrativa cinematográfica y ha emulado a los héroes de la ficción. Conocer el cine político es entender la diferencia entre denuncia y demagogia, entre posicionamiento y doctrina, y ver, a través de géneros muy dispares, que la política está presente en toda película de ayer y de hoy. En este libro se propone un recorrido por el cine y la política a través de 50 títulos, algunos muy populares y otros urgidos de una reivindicación, que ejemplifican su vínculo. Y los hay que son fundamentalmente políticos aunque no parezcan pertenecer al género.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El 5 de octubre de 1988, se promulgó la Constitución de Brasil de 1988 o Constitución de la República federativa de Brasil, la cual también fue conocida como la Constitución Ciudadana. Este texto tiene vigencia en la actualidad y fue elaborado por la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente, compuesta por 559 diputados, y presidida por Ulysses Guimãres. La Constitución Federal de 1988 estableció que la República Federativa del Brasil se constituyera como un Estado Democrático de Derecho, inaugurando una nueva era en el constitucionalismo brasileño, rompiendo el ciclo autoritario que dominó el país de 1964 hasta mediados de la década de los ochenta. Su estructura difiere de las constituciones anteriores. Comprende nueve títulos, que tratan: 1) de los principios fundamentales; 2) de los derechos y garantías fundamentales, según una perspectiva moderna y que abarca los derechos individuales y colectivos, los derechos sociales de los trabajadores, la nacionalidad, los derechos políticos y de los partidos políticos; 3) de la organización del Estado, en la que estructura a la federación con sus componentes; 4) de la organización de los poderes: Poder Legislativo, Poder Ejecutivo y Poder Judicial, con la manutención del sistema presidencialista, derrotado el parlamentarismo. Contiene, además, un capítulo sobre las funciones esenciales de la Justicia, con ministerio público, abogacía pública (de la Unión y de los Estados), abogacía privada y defensa pública; 5) de la defensa del Estado y de las instituciones democráticas, con mecanismos del estado de defensa, del estado de sitio y de la seguridad pública; 6) de la tributación y del presupuesto; 7) del orden económico y financiero; 8) del orden social; 9) de las disposiciones generales. Finalmente, viene el Acto de las Disposiciones Transitorias. Ese contenido se distribuye en 245 artículos en la parte permanente, y 73 artículos más en la parte transitoria, reunidos en capítulos, secciones y sub-secciones.
Download or read book Rule of Law and the Challenges Posed by the Pandemic written by Rainer Arnold and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rule of law represents the heart of constitutionalism. Public power can only be legitimately exercised if it is based on and complies with the law. The Constitution and its fundamental values – human dignity, freedom and equality – are the ultimate sources of orientation for the rule of law. Domestic rule of law is complemented by its external dimension, the duty to respect international law and, for EU member states, supranational law. For the World Jurist Association, the realization of the Rule of Law has been the central concern since its founding more than 60 years ago. Its biennial world congresses, which bring together leading figures from politics, the judiciary and academia under the presidency of Javier Cremades, focus on the universal importance of the rule of law, which experts from numerous countries discuss on the basis of current problem areas. At the 2021 World Law Congress in Barranquilla, Colombia, one central topic was the tension between combating pandemics and the rule of law. The contributions gathered here examine how this challenge was met in political-legal practice, and the role of constitutional jurisdiction in the process. They analyze and evaluate the legal situation in numerous countries in Europe and Latin America. In addition, they reflect on fundamental issues, such as the concept of the rule of law, its relationship to democracy, its universal character and its implementation via jurisprudence.
Download or read book Civil Wars and Reconstructions in the Americas written by Evan C. Rothera and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2022-09-21 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the latter half of the nineteenth century, three violent national conflicts rocked the Americas: the Wars of Unification in Argentina, the War of the Reform and French Intervention in Mexico, and the Civil War in the United States. The recovery efforts that followed reshaped the Western Hemisphere. In Civil Wars and Reconstructions in the Americas, Evan C. Rothera uses both transnational and comparative methodologies to highlight similarities and differences among the wars and reconstructions in the US, Mexico, and Argentina. In doing so, he uncovers a new history that stresses the degree to which cooperation and collaboration, rather than antagonism and discord, characterized the relationships among the three countries. This study serves as a unique assessment of a crucial period in the history of the Americas and speaks to the perpetual battle between visions of international partnership and isolation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containing almost 200 entries from 'accountability' to the 'Westminster model' the Encyclopedia of Democratic Thought explores all the ideas that matter to democracy past, present and future. It is destined to become the first port-of-call for all students, teachers and researchers of political science interested in democratic ideas, democratic practice, and the quality of democratic governance. The Encyclopedia provides extensive coverage of all the key concepts of democratic thought written by a stellar team of distinguished international contributors. The Encyclopedia draws on every tradition of democratic thought, as well as developing new thinking, in order to provide full coverage of the key democratic concepts and engage with their practical implications for the conduct of democratic politics in the world today. In this way, it brings every kind of democratic thinking to bear on the challenges facing contemporary democracies and on the possibilities of the democratic future. The Encyclopedia is global in scope and responds in detail to the democratic revolution of recent decades. Referring both to the established democratic states of Western Europe, North America and Australasia, and to the recent democracies of Latin America, Eastern and Central Europe, Africa and Asia, classical democratic concerns are related to new democracies, and to important changes in the older democracies. Supplemented by full bibliographical information, extensive cross-referencing and suggestions for further reading, the Encyclopedia of Democratic Thought is a unique work of reference combining the expertise of many of the world's leading political scientists, political sociologists and political philosophers. It will be welcomed as an essential resource for both teaching and for independent study, and as a solid starting point both for further research and wider exploration.
