The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and the Caribbean Court of Justice
Author: Harold A. Young
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1498586953
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Countries that have a domestic final appellate court have established a judicial institution over which they have control as part of the policymaking governing structure and how they view other existing and emerging extraterritorial courts will be influenced by their perception of the court and the role it will play when the policies of the governing coalition are challenged. This book analyzes that phenomenon in terms of the broader construction and understanding of the state in the era of international law, legal tribunals, and globalization. By zooming in on the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC), an ancient colonial court, Harold Young examines how the Caribbean Community, specifically, the 15 former British colonies comprising the Caribbean Basin are navigating their changing political environments and transitioning to its own extraterritorial court, the Caribbean Court of Justice. Using historical reviews, descriptive analyses, and statistical methodologies Young finds that the choice to retain the JCPC at independence is influenced by the colonial experience, the length of colonial rule, and how deeply embedded the JCPC is on the governing structures of the new state.

Evil soon rears its ugly head and plunges the Marine into the fight for his life, casting him into the darkness.

Former Marine Cal Stokes, and his team at SSI, head to Las Vegas, to uncover an invisible enemy that threatens to infiltrate the Democratic National Convention.

"I can't say that I have enjoyed any series as much as this one." "Boy is it hard to work when a book is this good. Hard to go to sleep in time." I asked Corps Justice readers what my books stand for and here's what they said: "Honor, integrity and family." - Adam E. "Truth, freedom and the American way." - Alvah D. "Doing what's right." - Ken S. "Service. Honesty. Dedication." - Vicki M. "Overcoming evil." - Ken J. "Truth and Justice." - Kevin H. "Justice. Teamwork. Love of country." - Sherry C. When asked what authors they read when they're not in C. G. Cooperland, they mentioned David Baldacci, Mike Ryan, Brad Taylor, Ted Bell, Jason Kasper, David Archer, Andrew Watts and Leo J. Maloney. It's great to be associated with such an amazing cast of writers. We're not just a list of books around here. We're a family of readers who come together to share a common bond. Why don't you join us? We'd love to have you. Semper Fidelis, C. G. Cooper

Trial Justice
Author: Tim Allen
Publisher: Zed Books Ltd.
ISBN: 1848137931
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has run into serious problems with its first big case -- the situation in northern Uganda. There is no doubt that appalling crimes have occurred here. Over a million people have been forced to live in overcrowded displacement camps under the control of the Ugandan army. Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army has abducted thousands, many of them children and has systematically tortured, raped, maimed and killed. Nevertheless, the ICC has confronted outright hostility from a wide range of groups, including traditional leaders, representatives of the Christian Churches and non-governmental organizations. Even the Ugandan government, which invited the court to become involved, has been expressing serious reservations. Tim Allen assesses the controversy. While recognizing the difficulties involved, he shows that much of the antipathy towards the ICC's intervention is misplaced. He also draws out important wider implications of what has happened. Criminal justice sets limits to compromise and undermines established procedures of negotiation with perpetrators of violence. Events in Uganda have far reaching implications for other war zones - and not only in Africa. Amnesties and peace talks may never be quite the same again.

Justice as Prevention
Author: Pablo De Greiff
Publisher: SSRC
ISBN: 0979077214
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 568
Book Description
Countries emerging from armed conflict or authoritarian rule face difficult questions about what to do with public employees who perpetrated past human rights abuses and the institutional structures that allowed such abuses to happen. Justice as Prevention: Vetting Public Employees in Transitional Societies examines the transitional reform known as "vetting"-the process by which abusive or corrupt employees are excluded from public office. More than a means of punishing individuals, vetting represents an important transitional justice measure aimed at reforming institutions and preventing the recurrence of abuses. The book is the culmination of a multiyear project headed by the International Center for Transitional Justice that included human rights lawyers, experts on police and judicial reform, and scholars of transitional justice and reconciliation. It features case studies of Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Czech Republic, El Salvador, the former German Democratic Republic, Greece, Hungary, Poland, and South Africa, as well as chapters on due process, information management, and intersections between other institutional reforms.
