Pursuing Good Governance
Author: Hugh Corder
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781928309307
Category : Administrative law
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
"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.

Groundwater Law and Management in India
Author: Sarfaraz Ahmed Khan
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811626170
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the existing nature of India’s groundwater laws. In the backdrop of the gravity of groundwater crisis that threatens to engulf the country, the book examines the correlation between the imperfections in the law and water crisis and advocates a reform agenda to overhaul the legal framework. It accomplishes this objective by examining how some of the States and Union Territories regulate and manage groundwater through the legal instrumentality against the backdrop of the two conflicting paradigms: the “elitist” and the “egalitarian.” The book’s fundamental premise is that despite being an extraordinarily critical resource that supports India’s burgeoning population’s ever-increasing water demands, groundwater is abused and mismanaged. The key argument that it posits is that the elitist paradigm must give way to an egalitarian one where groundwater is treated as a common property resource. To place this message in perspective, the book’s introduction explains the dichotomy between the two paradigms in the context of groundwater. This sets the stage, after which the book is divided thematically into three parts. The first part deals with some of the general groundwater management concerns brought to the fore by the operation of the elitist paradigm. Since water is constitutionally a State subject, the second part analyses the groundwater legislations of different States and Union Territories set against their unique circumstances. As these laws do not dismantle the elitist paradigm that interlocks groundwater rights to land rights, the next part articulates the legal reform agenda where a case is made to re-engineer groundwater laws to reflect a more sustainable basis. The findings and arguments resonate with the situation in many developing countries around the world due to which the book is a valuable resource for researchers across disciplines studying this area, and also for policy makers, think tanks, and NGOs.

The Oxford Handbook of the Responsibility to Protect
Author: Alex Bellamy
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191068365
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1093
Book Description
The Responsibility to Protect (R2P) is intended to provide an effective framework for responding to crimes of genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. It is a response to the many conscious-shocking cases where atrocities - on the worst scale - have occurred even during the post 1945 period when the United Nations was built to save us all from the scourge of genocide. The R2P concept accords to sovereign states and international institutions a responsibility to assist peoples who are at risk - or experiencing - the worst atrocities. R2P maintains that collective action should be taken by members of the United Nations to prevent or halt such gross violations of basic human rights. This Handbook, containing contributions from leading theorists, and practitioners (including former foreign ministers and special advisors), examines the progress that has been made in the last 10 years; it also looks forward to likely developments in the next decade.
