Sources of International Law
Author: Christoph Schreuer
Publisher: Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research
ISBN:
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 11
Book Description
International law is not derived from static sets of rules or mutually exclusive sources, but is the manifestation of a complex decision-making process in which different forms of legal authority interact. The cornerstone of international law is the consent of states. This may be explicit, as in the case of signed international treaties, or it may be implicit, as in the case of customary international law. Law-making through multilateral treaties is a protracted process involving consent, ratification and often reservations by state governments. The interpretation and application can be complex because of different language versions. Customary law, on the other hand, is difficult to prove conclusively. Increasingly, the decisions of courts, tribunals and international organizations, as well as scholarly writings are becoming non-traditional sources of international law and its interpretation. These traditional sources and tools with their shortcomings, are inadequate, especially in dealing with new areas that do not fit the traditional mold, such as human rights, international criminal law and international economic law, all of which transcend state barriers. International investment law, is one obvious field where legal principles such as 'sanctity of contract' conflicted with 'state sovereignty,' and alternative sources such as customary law and bilateral treaties were inconclusive and had to contend with socialist ideologies and nationalist decolonization doctrines. Obviously, fresh thinking and new legal techniques are necessary to meet the challenges.

Introduction to Law
Author: Jaap Hage
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319572520
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
This book is exceptional in the sense that it provides an introduction to law in general rather than the law of one specific jurisdiction, and it presents a unique way of looking at legal education. It is crucial for lawyers to be aware of the different ways in which societal problems can be solved and to be able to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different legal solutions. In this respect, being a lawyer involves being able to reason like a lawyer, even more than having detailed knowledge of particular sets of rules. Introduction to Law reflects this view by focusing on the functions of rules and on ways of arguing the relative qualities of alternative legal solutions. Where ‘positive’ law is discussed, the emphasis is on the legal questions that must be addressed by a field of law and on the different solutions which have been adopted by, for instance, the common law and civil law tradition. The law of specific jurisdictions is discussed to illustrate possible answers to questions such as when the existence of a valid contract is assumed.

La responsabilité du préposé
Author: Cécile Benoît-Renaudin
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : fr
Pages : 634
Book Description
Cette thèse a pour but de s’interroger sur l’incidence de la qualité de préposé de l’auteur d’un dommage sur sa responsabilité. Il s’agit de savoir si cette qualité est de nature à modifier les règles habituelles de la responsabilité en raison de la possibilité pour la victime d’agir contre le commettant. Il apparaît que la responsabilité du préposé a avant tout été envisagée en contrepoint de la responsabilité du commettant, de telle sorte que le préposé bénéficie d'un certain régime de faveur par rapport aux autres auteurs de dommages ou d'infractions, alors que rien ne le présageait. Cela se vérifie en droit civil, en droit du travail, en droit pénal, en droit de la sécurité sociale. Néanmoins, la responsabilité du préposé demeure dans un but punitif, lorsque ses fautes sont particulièrement graves. Aussi proposons-nous de reconstruire la responsabilité du préposé en prenant acte de cette évolution. Tout en lui reconnaissant une immunité civile, il faut s'interroger sur les limites de celle-ci. Il est en effet nécessaire d'assurer un équilibre entre protection du préposé et sanction de ses comportements les plus répréhensibles. À cette fin, la notion de préposé doit être restreinte et le régime de sa responsabilité civile repensée. Il convient de déterminer le fait générateur de sa responsabilité et l'étendue de sa réparation. Il serait souhaitable de ne pas condamner le préposé à la réparation intégrale du préjudice causé pour toutes les fautes de nature à engager sa responsabilité. L'indemnisation de la victime nécessiterait, dans ce cas, l'engagement conjoint des responsabilités du commettant et du préposé. Finalement, en rénovant la responsabilité du préposé, on renouvelle l'analyse des rapports que le préposé entretient avec la victime et avec son commettant.

The Translation of Love
Author: Lynne Kutsukake
Publisher: Doubleday
ISBN: 038554068X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Against the backdrop of occupied Tokyo, a young girl searches for her missing older sister, who has disappeared into the world of bars and dance halls. In the process, her story will become intertwined with those of others trying to make sense of their lives in a post-war world: a thirteen-year-old Japanese Canadian “repat,” a school teacher who translates love letters from American GIs, and a Japanese-American soldier serving with the Occupation forces. An emotionally gripping portrait of a battered nation, The Translation of Love mines this turbulent period to show how war irrevocably shapes the lives of people on both sides—and how resilience, friendship, and love translate across cultures and borders no matter the circumstances. Winner of the Canada-Japan Literary Award

Christian Homes
Author: Tine Van Osselaer
Publisher: Leuven University Press
ISBN: 9462700184
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Christian ideas on family, religion, and the home in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries The cult of domesticity has often been linked to the privatization of religion and the idealisation of the motherly ideal of the ‘angel in the house’. This book revisits the Christian home of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and sheds new light on the stereotypical distinction between the private and public spheres and their inhabitants. Emphasizing the importance of patriarchal domesticity during the period and the frequent blurring of boundaries between the Christian home and modern society, the case studies included in this volume call for a more nuanced understanding of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Christian ideas on family, religion, and the home.

Lived Religion
Author: Meredith B McGuire
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199709572
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
How can we grasp the complex religious lives of individuals such as Peter, an ordained Protestant minister who has little attachment to any church but centers his highly committed religious practice on peace-and-justice activism? Or Hannah, a devout Jew whose rich spiritual life revolves around her women's spirituality group and the daily practice of meditative dance? Or Laura, who identifies as Catholic but rarely attends Mass, and engages daily in Buddhist-style meditation at her home altar arranged with symbols of Mexican American popular religion? Diverse religious practices such as these have long baffled scholars, whose research often starts with the assumption that individuals commit, or refuse to commit, to an entire institutionally framed package of beliefs and practices. Meredith McGuire points the way forward toward a new way of understanding religion. She argues that scholars must study religion not as it is defined by religious organizations, but as it is actually lived in people's everyday lives. Drawing on her own extensive fieldwork, as well as recent work by others, McGuire explores the many, seemingly mundane, ways that individuals practice their religions and develop their spiritual lives. By examining the many eclectic and creative practices -- of body, mind, emotion, and spirit -- that have been invisible to researchers, she offers a fuller and more nuanced understanding of contemporary religion.
