Abstract:
The thesis addresses legal status of police officers by scrutinizing efficiency of the institution, identifying the key determinants of the efficiency and modeling legal measures that would allow prompt reaction to the unstable environment of the police service. Efficiency of Legal Status is analyzed via assessment of elements of the legal status and classification of those into four correlative segments. The work comprises an eight year evolution of the efficiency, its sociological indexes in police services exercising patrolling of public places, control of traffic safety and protection of secured objects. The thesis evaluates effects of social environment (community) and political and economic factors upon efficiency of legal status in general and, by scrutinizing legal regulation in each segment individually, identifies faults and shortcomings in the efficiency and evaluates readiness of police officers to exercise their functions by comparison of training programs for primary pack police officers in Lithuania, Ireland and Finland. The thesis ends with a range of proposals on legal regulation of individual segments of the legal status that would allow enhancement of efficiency of legal status and on compensatory mechanisms to maintain restored efficiency of legal status. Conclusions of the survey reveal that the legal status of police officers regulated in accordance with positivistic legal theories is inefficient and neither meets demands of police officers nor the needs...

Abstract:
Despite the widespread endorsement and political appeal of sustainable development, its seemingly ambiguous and vague nature has raised considerable controversy as its normative content and legal implications. That sustainable development was to have normative significance was evident since its introduction on the international political agenda by the 1987 World Commission on Environment and Development. The declaratory instruments which were subsequently adopted, and particularly the 1992 Rio Declaration and Agenda 21, have emphasized the need for the progressive development of international law on sustainable development. Despite developments, however, over the past 30 years and the widespread political endorsement of sustainable development by the international community, the legal status of sustainable development remains the subject of debate. Indeed there is little evidence to support a claim that there exists a legal obligation for states to develop sustainably. Nonetheless, it is proposed that, although international law may not strictly require development to be sustainable; there is a procedural obligation on states to adopt the appropriate state conduct and governance processes to strive to make progress towards sustainable development. The treaties and soft law documents which have endorsed sustainable development require states to adopt the necessary means to promote, ensure, contribute to, or work towards the fulfillment of the sustainable development objective. In this respect, its normativity lies not in requiring that a specific end result be fulfilled, but in requiring the adoption of all possible and available means necessary to strive to achieve that result. Its core principles of integration, ecological sustainability and public participation, provide for an identifiable list of measures which may be expected to be implemented by states as part of their efforts to facilitate progress to sustainable development, and against which state conduct may be assessed. Specific tools have been developed to facilitating the implementation of this obligation. The most notable of these is the environmental assessment regime. The environmental assessment process has been interpreted by the European Court of Justice as an instrument for sustainable development in light of its core principles. National case law in Cyprus also indicates that the national court has interpreted the law on environmental impact assessment in a way which recognizes such an obligation.

Quinn, Simon R. "Bank credit and legal status in Moroccan manufacturing." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2010. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:999e2006-bd8e-4902-9bd9-3c0d08f41e46.

Abstract:
Moroccan manufacturing firms generally choose to incorporate under one of two legal forms: ‘Société Anonyme’ (SA) and ‘Société À Responsibilité Limitée’ (SARL). This thesis is about that choice and its consequence for firms’ access to bank overdraft facilities. In 2001, Morocco made a radical change to its company law regime: it replaced a company law dating from 19th-century France with modern standards of corporate governance and accountability. In Chapter One, I use the two-period FACS/ICA panel to analyse that reform and to evaluate its impact upon manufacturing firms’ access to bank credit. I find that the reform induced a substantial share of SA firms to switch to SARL, and that — relative to firms remaining in the SA status — this caused a significant and substantial withdrawal of bank overdraft facilities. In Chapter Two, I develop a theoretical model in which an agent signals its continuous type by using a variable that may take one of only two values (a ‘binary signal’); this is intended to represent a firm’s choice of legal status. I show that this binary signal provides only ‘coarse information’, and I consider the consequences of this coarseness; I solve for equilibrium conditions and I consider both the role of a principal’s risk aversion and the role of other observable agent characteristics (‘indices’). Chapter Three uses the results of Chapter Two to develop a new structural methodology for the separate identification of information and incentive effects. I apply the method to the data used in Chapter One, on the subset of firms having an overdraft facility in both survey periods (approximately two-thirds of the total sample). I find that, among that limited sample, there is no relevant information asymmetry. I estimate the potential welfare loss and conclude that, in the 95% confidence region of potential information effects and incentive effects, the maximum median welfare loss from information asymmetry is equivalent to approximately only 3% of the median bank overdraft limit. For the sample of firms having an overdraft facility in both survey periods, this challenges the common narrative that information asymmetry is an important reason for bank credit market failure.

Abstract:
This study examined perceptions of student legal issues confronting metropolitan institutions of higher education. The data for the study were collected using a modified version of Bishop's (1993) legal survey. The sample for the study consisted of 44 chief student affairs officers and 44 chief legal affairs officers employed with the 44 institutions affiliated with the Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities. Frequency counts and percentage distributions were employed to analyze the data. Chief student affairs officers and chief legal affairs officers have very different perception as to the most likely student legal issues to be litigated in the next ten years. Chief student affairs officers found few student legal issues highly likely to be litigated in the next 10 years. Affirmative action, sex/age discrimination, fraternities and sororities, and disabled students were the only student legal issues at least 20 percent of chief student affairs officers believed to be highly likely of litigation in the next ten years. Chief legal affairs officers believed many student legal issues would be litigated in the next 10 years. At least 20 percent of the chief legal affairs officers believed admission criteria, affirmative action, reverse discrimination, sex/age discrimination, athletic tort liability, Title IX, defaulting student loans, defamation, negligence, academic dismissals, academic dishonesty, cyberspace issues, and disabled students to be highly likely of litigation in the next ten years. Chief student affairs officers and chief legal affairs officers prepare very similarly for future student legal issues they may confront in the future. There is a large amount of crossover between professional conferences of chief student affairs officers and chief legal affairs officers. Student affairs and legal affairs officers will attend professional conferences of both groups in order to stay abreast of student legal issues. It appears chief student affairs officers are not prepared to confront many of the student legal issues highly likely to be litigated in the next ten years.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the advocacy techniques employed by three state-level child advocacy groups in a mid-western state and to determine the effectiveness of such techniques in influencing policy and legislation.The groups studied were a government-funded bureau, a professional association, and a varied member organization. Each was selected because it met the qualifications set forth for that particular group type. Data collection took place during June and July, 1981.The records examined during data collection included minutes of meetings, publications, fiscal reports, legislative reports and bills, by-laws, and newspaper articles. The data discerned from the records described the groups' founding, objectives, structure, membership, finances, and advocacy strategies, particularly public information campaigns, training, and lobbying efforts. Interviews were conducted with persons knowledgeable of the groups' activities, as necessary.Data were organized into the categories of background information, objectives, membership, structure, funding, and advocacy efforts. Issues considered by any of the three groups were classified either as legislation or as a child-oriented issue. Advocacy techniques utilized to advance a group's position on a piece of legislation were paired with the bill. The effectiveness of the techniques was determined via a scale which examined a bill's progression through the legislative process. Patterns of effective advocacy were listed. Similarly, advocacy techniques employed to advance a group's position on child-oriented issues were paired with the issues. Patterns of advocacy were discerned from that information.As a result of the data analysis, the following conclusions were made; (a) a variety of techniques were used by the groups and contributed to effective advocacy; (b) the techniques of writing to and meeting with legislators or their staffs on behalf of a group were utilized most commonly in successful efforts related to legislation; (c) collaboration and multiple efforts were related to effective advocacy; (d) the professional association was most successful in its legislative advocacy efforts; and (e) the three groups took more positions and utilized more advocacy techniques on child-oriented issues than on legislation.

Davidsson, Louise, and Sara Thulin. "The Legal Status of Domain Names : A Business Context." Thesis, Jönköping University, JIBS, Commercial Law, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-1089.

Full text
Abstract:

Domain names are still a relatively unknown occurrence and despite being a natural part in

most people’s every-day life, there are few who reflect over their importance. The original

function of domain names was merely to serve as technical addresses and to facilitate the

locating of websites on the Internet. Today domain names are much more than this. In

addition to the address function, domain names may also serve as indications of goods,

services, businesses or information. The domain name is usually the first contact one gets

with a website and it has become crucial for businesses to have their company name or

trade marks registered as domain names. The issue of the legal status of domain names has

mainly been discussed from an American point of view and in Sweden this discussion has

almost entirely fallen under the radar. If the legal status of a domain name were clear, it

would be easier for businesses to avail themselves of the value of that domain name. It

would possibly even contribute to strengthening the legal protection for the domain name

holder, in for example insolvency or bankruptcy procedures.

Intellectual property exists in many different forms, the main being patents, trade marks,

copyright and design rights. Although there are many differences between them, they all

have in common that they establish property protection over intangibles such as ideas,

inventions, signs and information. As a domain name is not a physical object, there can be

no doubt that it is an intangible. The question is whether it is property. Intellectual

property is not a static area and it can, in line with societal and technological development,

be expanded to include new types.

The legal status of domain names is generally discussed in the light of the close connection

they have with trade marks. Except from their original function, the trade mark function of

domain names can probably be considered as one of the most commonly accepted. It is

indicated in this thesis that that function contributes to that a domain name can be

considered as a distinctive sign and thereby obtain protection, in the same way as an

unregistered trade mark.

According to current accounting rules, businesses may, to some extent, avail themselves of

the value of a domain name. Domain names are under certain circumstances identified as

intangible assets and even as ‘similar rights’ to for example trade marks and patents in

accounting and taxation situations.

At this time it is not possible to legislate on the area of the legal status of a domain name

on a Community level, as this most likely would have to include a consideration of the

existence of property rights and consequently fall outside the legislative powers of the

Community.

Both the legal development and the legal discussions on the topic of the legal status of

domain names in Sweden have been relatively sparse. Nonetheless, there have been some

interesting opinions.

By investigating what positions the different authorities, academics and practitioners have

taken on the legal status of domain names it can be concluded that the prevailing opinion

in Sweden is that domain names are not considered as property. The reason for this seems

to be that domain names as such, are in fact no more than technical constructions and that

by registering a domain name the registrant only becomes the holder of a contractual right.

However, there are some diverging opinions which could suggest that the legal status of

domain names in Sweden is not yet settled. The aspects which are then taken into

consideration include that domain names have developed to become important and

valuable assets for an increasing number of businesses. A domain name is a precondition

for the creation of a website and therefore of crucial importance for, in particular, online

based businesses. However, they are of increasing importance for all businesses to reach

out to and compete over the same customers.

It is advocated that the fact that domain names are freely traded with indicates that domain

names are property. It has also been questioned whether an asset with a true economic

value, such as a domain name, can exist without being considered as an item of property.

The steps taken in other jurisdictions have shown that the legal status of domain names is

not even clear in some of the countries with the greatest experience of domain names.

Nonetheless, the legal status is given attention in those countries and the discussion has

been initiated. In general, it can be concluded that the development seems to go toward

higher awareness of the value of domain names.

Abstract:
The animal welfare legislation that is discussed in this Dissertation is just a sample of the available legislation from the chosen foreign jurisdictions and South Africa. The chosen foreign jurisdictions were chosen as a lens to gain a needed perspective on South African animal welfare legislation. The legislation chosen for discussion falls within particular categories that are discussed fully in the later chapters.i Despite the fact that the animal rights and animal welfare movements are recorded to date back as far as 500B.C, the majority of jurisdictions throughout the world still consider animals to be property that can be bought, traded, hunted and after they are killed, their remains kept as trophies or souvenirs. Within these jurisdictions (which includes South Africa and the other four chosen foreign jurisdictions – Kenya, India, Switzerland and the United States of America) there is a demonstrated lack of proper enforcement of the animal welfare/animal anti-cruelty legislation, regulations and industry rules, which is made worse by the actions of uncaring, abusive and/or ignorant people. South Africa is no better or worse to the four chosen jurisdictions in that it has similar anti-cruelty/animal welfare legislation. The lack of proper enforcement of this animal welfare legislation in South Africa should be of great concern as many studies have indicated that there is a link between animal abuse/cruelty and ‘human’ abuse. The same studies also indicate that animal abusers are at a greater risk of becoming violent criminals or of committing a violent crime. For example, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has noted that most serial killers in the USA had a history of torturing, abusing and killing animals before they moved on to torturing, abusing and/or killing humans in their adult life. Needed changes to the animal welfare legislation and how people view animals should be made in South Africa to ensure that welfare of animals is protected. For example, the Government could educate people about animal welfare in order to overcome any ignorance that may be the cause of animal pain and abuse, as well as strengthening existing animal welfare legislation. The eradication of ignorance, as well as a necessary change in the current animal welfare legislation, will help to create a real change in how people view and treat i Chapter 5 and 6. [iii] animals. People will come to realise that animals exist in their own right and that they were not created to serve or to be exploited by man.

Full text
Abstract:
Since the beginning of the history of aviation, the use of aircraft for military purposes revealed an efficient and dangerous weapon in the arsenal of a State. First it was used as observatory post, and then the aircraft took a more active role in combat until it became a destructive and deadly weapon. The definition of military aircraft in international law is not clear as States only wish to regulate international civil air navigation and not state aircraft. On the other hand, the Law of armed conflict defines the status of every aircraft with their respective duties and rights in the conduct of hostilities. The interception of civil aircraft by military aircraft shall be done in accordance with the international standards adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization in virtue of the Chicago Convention and it's limited to determine the identity of the aircraft. The use of deadly force against civilian aircraft in flight is equivalent of pronouncing the death sentence of its occupants without the hearing of a trial. Respecting the international standards of interception of civil aircraft is a necessity.

Sorzana, Nathalie. "Le régime juridique applicable au sous-sol." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017AIXM0486.

Full text
Abstract:
L’article 552 du Code civil prévoit que la propriété du sol emporte la propriété du dessus et du dessous. Cette disposition consacre l’existence du sous-sol sur la scène juridique et lie le sort du sous-sol à celui du sol. Le législateur a souhaité accorder un droit qui se déploie dans l’espace. Se dessine alors un lien, sinon de soumission, du moins de dépendance du sous-sol envers le sol. Le débat se noue autour de l’intensité du lien existant entre le sol et le sous-sol. La recherche du régime juridique applicable au sous-sol impose nécessairement de raisonner sur la force d’attraction que revêt le sol. Doté d’un pouvoir absorbant, ce dernier semble pouvoir déterminer le régime juridique applicable au sous-sol en préservant ainsi l’unité de l’immeuble. Toutefois, leur apparente dépendance doit être nuancée et la vision unitaire s’estompe face aux spécificités du sous-sol. En effet, la compréhension du régime juridique applicable au sous-sol nécessite la prise en compte d’autres éléments permettant de révéler toute la particularité du sous-sol. Il recèle de nombreuses richesses susceptibles d’entraîner une modification de l’objet de la propriété immobilière. Les exemples de dissociation de la propriété immobilière, organisés par la loi ou la volonté, sont pléthoriques et entrainent un relâchement des liens de dépendance. La présence de mines ou de vestiges archéologiques en sont un témoignage éloquent, la propriété du sous-sol étant alors soustraite à la puissance du propriétaire du sol. Cette étude, oscillant entre dépendance et autonomie, s’attachera à démontrer les particularités du sous-sol qui ne saurait, en définitive, se définir par sa seule relation avec le sol
Article 552 of the Civil Code provides that the property of the soil embraces the property of what is above and underneath it. This provision consecrates the existence of the subsoil on the legal scene and links the fate of the subsoil to the one of the soil. The legislator wished to grant a right which is deployed in space. This creates a connection at least a dependence of the subsoil towards the soil, if not even a submission. The debate is based on the intensity of the link between the soil and the subsoil. The search for the legal regime applicable to the subsoil necessarily requires to think about the force of attraction that the soil has. Possessing an absorbing power, the latter seems to be able to determine the legal regime applicable to the subsoil, thus preserving the unity of the real estate. However, their apparent dependence should be nuanced and the unitary perception fades because of the subsoil’s specificities. Indeed, the understanding of the legal regime applicable to the subsoil requires to consider other elements revealing the particularities of the subsoil. It contains many wealth which could lead to a modification of the object of the real estate property. Examples of the dissociation of real estate property, organized by law or will, are profuse and lead to a weakening of dependency links. The presence of mines or archaeological remains is an eloquent illustration since the property of the subsoil is then subtracted from the power of the owner of the soil. This study which oscillates between dependence and autonomy, will endeavor to demonstrate the particularities of the subsoil which cannot be defined only by its relation to the soil

Abstract:
The thesis takes as its central object and problematic the contentious status of domain names in global and domestic legal systems. It considers the manner in which advances in technology have blurred the legal rights between domain names and the existing laws of trademark, contract, copyright and property. As it stands, domain names are presented as a secondary right attached to other legal rights such as trademark or contract law, rather than as a new form, or species, of intellectual property. And yet, domain names represent a valuable, distinct and scarce commodity, which, in so far as they are capable of exclusive and excludable use, control and “ownership”, exhibit regularities common to forms of property. This thesis seeks to justify the application of legal frameworks with respect to domain name registration and use to prepare the way for a discussion of the highly qualified recognition of domain names as legal property in United States courts and, to some extent, by arbitral tribunals acting under the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ICANN mandated Uniform Dispute Resolution Mechanism. By means of a detailed exploration of the legal and practical challenges accompanying the meteoric rise of Internet technology and commerce, the thesis intends to clarify the fundamental reasons for some of the current controversies. The thesis proceeds, in a first step, to identify several “gaps” in the current framework of domain name regulation, drawing the readers’ attention to the, arguably, flawed treatment of the legal issue surrounding domain name use, control and ownership by courts and tribunals against the background of the accelerating monetisation and commoditisation of domain names. In capsule, this thesis aims to conduct a review into existing scholarship and case law on trademarks and domain names, in addition to contract and property law. It focuses on the associated legal frameworks for each, supported by cases that demonstrate their legal standing as a newly emergent property-based right. Moreover, the thesis sets these reflections against a broader discussion of doctrinal developments in the area of trademark law, the emerging role of ICANN as a custodian of the technical domain name allocation functions; the origins and theory behind the concept of property as distinct from the law of contract and, finally, the relevance of property rights to the legal standing of domain names. The thesis concludes by arguing that domain names should be treated as expressions of contract and property law, and that the relationship between domain names and trademark law be critically assessed and not confused. Further, it is argued that courts should take account of this duality towards the development of a revised framework for the regulation and adjudication of domain name assignment and use. A movement in this direction would stabilise expectations around the rights owed to, and by, domain name “owners”, alleviating the uncertainty that remains as to their status under law, while reducing the scope for dispute. By taking these issues one by one, this thesis aspires to make a small but important critical contribution to the intellectual and political debate on the future development and enforcement of domain name law.

Abstract:
In light of its past eugenic use, and its often irreversible nature, non-therapeutic sterilization, the result of which is to deprive an individual of his/her capacity to procreate, has always enjoyed a particular status and its use and legal status engendered debate, discussion and controversy.
The purpose of this dissertation is to determine under which conditions non-therapeutic sterilization can lawfully be performed under Canadian law.
Whereas the legality of non-therapeutic sterilization when voluntarily consented to by a competent individual is today established in all Canadian provinces, it appears that Quebec is the only province to allow non-therapeutic sterilization to be performed on an individual lacking through age and/or disability the necessary capacity to consent, common law provinces denying any beneficial aspects to the procedure. The law on involuntary non-therapeutic sterilization however lacks clarity, certainty and consistency, a legislative reform is therefore advocated.

Abstract:
La recherche a pour objet l'étude du statut juridique et social des intermédiaires en matière immobilière, afin d'envisager des perspectives d'évolutions concrètes. Les intermédiaires jouent un rôle essentiel dans les opérations immobilières et l'accompagnement des usagers profanes, mais le statut de ces professionnels est encore flou et souffre d'une image dégradée en France. L'intermédiaire, professionnel œuvrant activement pour la réalisation d'opérations portant sur les biens immobiliers d'autrui, se trouve aujourd'hui confronté à une crise législative et à une concurrence nationale et internationale de plus en plus présente. Face à ces éléments, l'intermédiaire français est entré dans une période de remise en question et de réflexions sur son orientation juridique et professionnelle. Cette recherche permet de dresser le constat du statut juridique et social des intermédiaires en France, dont il ressort de nombreuses problématiques qui limitent l'exercice même de l'activité. Avec la prise en compte du droit positif, des récentes évolutions législatives, mais également par une approche de droit comparé et des influences socio-économiques pragmatiques, l'étude offre des perspectives d'évolutions en faveur des intermédiaires pour faire face aux problématiques rencontrées. L'étude propose plusieurs pistes de réflexions et des solutions concrètes en vue de faire évoluer le statut des intermédiaires et de leur donner des outils juridiques suffisamment efficaces, en adéquation avec les besoins des contemporains en matière immobilière
The aim of this research is to study the social and legal status of intermediaries in the real estate sector in order to envisage perspectives for real change. Intermediaries play an essential role in real estate operations and the accompaniment of uninitiated users, but the status of these professionals is still vague and suffers from a poor image in France. Intermediaries are professionals who work actively to carry out operations on the real estate property of third parties. Today, they are faced with a legislative crisis and increasingly present national and international competition. In light of this, French intermediaries have entered a period of questioning and reflection with regard to their legal and professional orientation. This research makes it possible to review the social and legal status of intermediaries in France, for whom there are a number of issues that limit the very exercise of their profession. Taking into account positive law and recent legislative changes, as well as a comparative law approach and pragmatic social and economic influences, this research proposes perspectives for change in favour of the intermediaries to help them face up to the problems they encounter. The study proposes several avenues for reflection, as well as practical solutions for bringing about change in the status of intermediaries, giving them sufficiently effective legal tools that are adapted to contemporary needs in terms of real estate

Abstract:
This study is designed to investigate discrimination in employment against resident aliens in the United States as evaluated by both U.S. practices and standards of international law and to determine whether the American treatment of aliens in employment is compatible with the international standard. In order to examine the common assertion that American practices in the treatment of aliens in employment is superior to the international minimum standard, two sets of hypotheses are tested: one on the existence of the minimum international standard, which protects aliens' rights, and the other on the American practice of requiring citizenship for employment, which deprives aliens of equal protection and thereby places the legal position of aliens below the minimum international standard. Three major sources of data for this study involve data from: (1) international arbitrations, conventions and agreements; (2) United States executive, legislative, and judicial decisions and actions; and (3) Immigration and Naturalization Service materials. The major findings indicate that the contemporary minimum international standard includes post-1945 Human Rights instruments together with the traditional minimum international standards. The most significant finding is that the contemporary minimum standard affords aliens the right to work without discrimination and confirms the relevant hypothesis in connection with the minimum standard. The study reveals that aliens in the United States are discriminated against in employment because of alienage at three different levels--federal, state, and private--with more intensity of discrimination at the federal level, despite the equal protection clause in the U.S. Constitution. The study concludes that American employment practice in the period of 1886-1971 was comparable with the international standard. On the other hand, during the 1971-1980 era, U.S. standards were below the minimum international standard as set forth by international law. This confirms the hypothesis, with some modification, that the U.S. practice of demanding citizenship for some employment has undercut the legal position of aliens so that it falls below the minimum international standard.

Full text
Abstract:
In 1973 Libya claimed the Gulf of Sirte. Its claim was based on historic and vital interests and it stated that the Gulf was part of Libyan internal waters over which Libya exerts full sovereignty and that the Gulf was an historic or vital bay. The thesis analyses the Libyan historic and/or vital bay claim over the Gulf. Although the doctrine of historic and/or vital bays is not codified, it is not a new doctrine in international law. It is argued that, as an exception to the general rules on bays, the coastal State has the right, by virtue of historic and vital interests, to claim and appropriate a bay adjacent to its coast. Chapter one deals with the scope of the research including the legal significance of the claim to Libya. The chapter discusses the methodology used and reviews the 1973 Declaration and international reaction to it, including the US-Libyan incidents. The geographical and historical background of the Gulf of sirte are also reviewed. In chapter two the evolution of the concepts of bays, historic bays and waters in international law are discussed. The chapter deals with definitional issues, the evolution and codification of the law of bays, and assess the law applicable in the field of historic and/or vital bays, and the requirements of customary international law. Chapter three analyses the Libyan immemorial usage and the effective Libyan exercise of sovereignty over the Gulf of sirte. Chapter four discusses the concept of acquiescence and whether there has been international acquiescence in the Libyan claim. Chapter five deals with the concept of protest and its application to the Libyan claim. It analyses the protests made at the Libyan claim and discusses a number of the protests made by States which have made similar claims to that of Libya. The issue of re~!procity is examined prior to detailed consideration and evaluation of the protests. Chapter six discusses the vital bay theory in a theoretical context, in state practice and its implementation by the tribunals. It also analyses the Libyan vital interest9s in the Gulf of Sirte and assesses the Libyan vital bay claim. Finally, chapter seven provides an overview of the Libyan historic and vital bay claim over the Gulf of sirte in a regional framework and in the context of the changing law of the sea. Proposals are made concerning the formulation of new rules when necessary on the codification of existing rules, on State practice and emerging trends relating to historic and/or vital bays. It is recommended that special attention should be given to the legitimate and genuine interests and needs of coastal States and the proposals made by Developing States in this regard.

Full text
Abstract:
How does legal status shape access to housing? This research explores the housing journeys of Ghanaian migrants in the borough of the Bronx in New York City to answer that question. The aim of this research is to understand the processes by which poor documented and undocumented migrants access housing, and to uncover the hidden, informal sub-markets that they occupy. Data were collected over a 14-month period of fieldwork, through 2014 and 2015, using a mixed methods approach. Quantitative data were drawn from secondary datasets and qualitative data were obtained from in-depth interviews with migrants, housing providers, and intermediaries. This study adapts urban informality theory by adjoining it with the concepts of migrant enclaves, social capital, and survival strategies. Urban informality describes informal settlements in the Global South that arise due to suspended sovereignty, where the state allows settlements to form to facilitate rapid urbanisation at minimal institutional cost. Urban informality occurs in the Bronx differently than in the Global South: migrants do not construct housing but rather obtain units on the formal market that they then sublet on their own informal market. Complicit actors, including profit-seeking providers and indifferent public authorities, allow this informal market to form. The findings show that, surprisingly, legal status is not an organizing framework in the housing market. Rather, the strength of one's social ties to the Ghanaian migrant community strongly determines how housing is accessed. For instance, undocumented migrants report better housing outcomes (lower rents and higher satisfaction) compared to their documented counterparts because they have more robust connections to other migrants. The only migrant group that can overcome weak social network ties and still readily access affordable housing are unmarried female Ghanaian migrants, as they are desired as household labourers and potential spouses. This research further finds that documented and undocumented migrants are similar in one important respect, they resist support from public institutions: housing courts, social service agencies, and elected representatives. This stems from pervasive myths and misinformation regarding government: migrants tend to believe that public authorities seek to deport them or otherwise prohibit their families from immigrating to the U.S., and that they only truly serve Hispanics, who are in the majority in the Bronx. This results in avoidable impoverishment, particularly among documented migrants who decline to seek public benefits to which they are legally qualified and entitled. This study contributes to knowledge with its empirical findings, methodology, and theoretical developments. The findings deepen our understanding of poor migrant communities residing in the Global North, and the implications of legal status for housing access. The methodology provides a novel approach for uncovering and examining allocation processes in hidden markets. The adapted urban informality model gives new theoretical insights into the relationship between formality and informality, which has further applications in housing studies and urban economics.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis covers the status of, and attitude to, the woman in Islam, as reflected by the literature of the Hadith. All previous works which have dealt with the status of the woman in Islam have attempted to cover vast areas and aspect ranging from the pre-Islamic era to our present time. However, no single work has ever been devoted to the position of woman as depicted in Muslim tradition. Since the amount of material collected is so vast, it seems to the author that even a general survey of the status of woman from pre-Isalmic times to our present day, is beyond the scope of this research, especially that this subject has already been discussed by many scholars. The literature of the hadith, however, has never been the sole corpus for this subject and hence is the major source for the present research. The status of women is examined in this work following the different "stages" in the life of the woman. Hence the following aspects have been considered; a. the baby girl b. the young girl c. the married woman and the mother d. the divorced woman e. the widow f. the slave woman. The six major books of Hadiths, and the books of Sunni, contain an enormous number of references to woman noted by the Prophet and his companions. These references usually refer to the status and legal position of women from birth to death, mainly based on actual facts which were brought to the attention of the Prophet. In order to collect all the relevant references; all six books of the Hadith, were carefully examined, registered and classified. In addition, all relevant works available were read so that a sound background for the research can be established. Experts in the field of Islamic law were consulted on various aspect of this topic and were also to lesser extent relied on traditions and customs known to the author and her family. Having dealt with a most sensitive subject which has been neglected up till now. The author aware of the incompleteness of this work, nevertheless, the author feel that the amount of materials examined and methods of analysis which were employed should give the reader on authentic insight into the life and position of the Muslim woman as depicted in the Hadith.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the Safe Third Country Agreement between Canada and the United States from the perspective of Canada's obligations vis-a-vis asylum seekers under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Safe Third Country Agreement requires asylum seekers to lodge their refugee claims in the first country of arrival, as between Canada and the United States. Asylum seekers on the United States side of the border who are seeking to enter Canada for the purpose of claiming refugee status will be deflected to the United States to lodge their claims there. By deflecting asylum seekers in this manner, Canada effectively conscripts the United States to carry out its obligations under the Charter to furnish procedural and substantive protections to asylum seekers. This thesis examines certain features of the United States asylum system to which asylum seekers deflected under the Safe Third Country Agreement would be subjected, in order to determine whether, according to relevant Charter jurisprudence, deflection constitutes a deprivation of security of the person under section 7 of the Charter and whether such deprivation can be justified under section 1.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis compares the status of upper-class widows in England to Colonial America. The common law traditions in England established dower, which was also used in the American colonies. Dower guaranteed widows the right to one-third of the land and property of her husband. Jointure was instituted in England in 1536 and enabled men to bypass dower and settle a yearly sum on a widow. The creation of jointure was able to proliferate in England due to the cash-centered economy, but jointure never manifested itself in Colonial America because of the land centered economy. These two types of inheritance form the background for the argument that upper-class women in Colonial America had more legal and economical freedoms than their brethren in England.

Abstract:
A different kind of ‘subject:’ Aboriginal legal status and colonial law in Western Australia, 1829-1861. This thesis is an examination of the nature and application of the policy regarding the legal status and rights of Aboriginal people in Western Australia from 1829 to 1861. It describes the extent of the debates and the role of British law that arose after conflict between Aboriginal people and settlers in the context of political and economic contests between settlers and government on land issues. While the British government continually maintained that the legal basis for annexation was settlement, by the mid 1830s Stirling regarded it as an ‘invasion,’ but was neither prepared to accept that Aboriginal people had to consent to the imposition of British law upon them, nor to formally recognise their rights as the original owners of the land. Instead, Stirling’s government applied an archaic form of outlawry to Aboriginal people who resisted the invasion. This was despite proposals for agreements in the 1830s. During the early 1840s there was a temporary legal pluralism in Western Australia where Indigenous laws were officially recognised. However, by the mid 1840s the administration of British law in Western Australia was increasingly dictated by settler interests and mounting settler-magistrate pressure to modify the legal position of Aboriginal people which resulted in the development of colonial law to construct a landless subject status with minimal rights based on their value as a useful labour force for the pastoral economy. This separate legal status deliberately departed from ‘equality’ principles and corresponded with the diminished status of Indigenous laws and the abandonment of legal pluralism in settled districts, during a period of rapid pastoral expansion in the 1850s. This entrenched discriminatory practice in colonial law would be the prelude to the ‘protectionist’ and discriminatory legislation of the early twentieth century which formalised inequality of legal status.

Honours thesis, Murdoch University, 2014. https://researchrepository.murdoch.edu.au/id/eprint/25657/.

Full text
Abstract:
In the West, it is a well-established legal notion that non-human animals are classified as the personal property of humans. This classification allows humans to use non-human animals as a resource. A non-human animals’ property status means they have no legal capacity or standing to sue and thus cannot protect their interests in court. This thesis argues that non-human animals are sentient beings who deserve equal consideration of their interests, hence they should not be treated like inanimate objects or mere property. In order for this to occur, the legal status of non-human animals must change from a classification of ‘property’ to a classification that more closely resembles ‘personhood.’ As legal ‘persons,’ non-human animals would be extended the same rights as humans, particularly the fundamental right not to be treated as the resource of another. This thesis reviews both primary and secondary sources, particularly those from Western countries outside of Australia, such as the United States, to determine how non-human animals may make this transition from within a legal context. This thesis identifies that an important first step is to abolish the property status of non-human animals. Due to the significance of such a change, removing the property status of animals can only be realistically achieved through incremental steps. Expanding the standing doctrine to include non-human animals so that they may sue in their own right is also a necessary legal change. In addition, non-human animals’ rights, or ‘dignity,’ must be given constitutional force and the resulting legislation must recognise their interests, minus any exemptions or exclusions that might diminish those interests. The judiciary, rather than being precedent bound, ought to embrace the flexibility of the common law and make decisions which incorporate modern science and changing societal values towards animals. Adopting these legal reforms will assist non-human animals’ transition from ‘property’ to ‘persons’ under law.

Abstract:
Following the extensive use of ballistic missiles in the 1991 Persian Gulf War, there has been a renewed emphasis within the United States to develop and deploy anti-ballistic missile defenses.
This thesis examines whether the current ballistic missile defense programs of the United States comply with the limitations imposed by the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty between the Soviet Union and the United States.
The thesis begins with a review of the development of ballistic missiles and the systems designed to defend against them. Next an analysis of the ABM Treaty is offered, including its differing interpretations. The Treaty's legal restrictions are then applied to current ABM defensive systems in various stages of research and development. The thesis concludes with an examination of the various lawful possibilities to modify the restrictive provision of the Treaty.

The Constitution 1995 of the Republic of Uganda is silent on how to admit evidence obtained through human rights violations in Uganda. The decided cases are inconsistent in the way courts have dealt with this evidence. This research establishes how jurisdictions like South Africa, Canada, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Hong Kong deal with evidence obtained as a result of human rights violations. It establishes the position of international law on evidence obtained through human rights violations. The research then employs the comparative study to establish the status of evidence obtained through human rights violations in Uganda. This study helps in the improvement of the practice of evaluating evidence in courts, by providing recommendations to policy makers and judicial officers in the criminal justice system on how to handle evidence at the pretrial stages in order to greatly attempt to contain the consequences of this evidence.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores the production of Bangladeshi domestic workers' legal status in Hong Kong. Bangladeshi domestic workers started entering Hong Kong in 2013 and they were expected to gradually become one of the major national groups of domestic workers. But within the first two years, 50 to 60% of them left formal employment. In the migration industry, that phenomenon was referred to as the "runaway crisis". While the runaway crisis took place between 2013 and 2015, some Bangladeshi domestic workers still run away. I would like to reflect upon the migration experiences of Bangladeshi women recruited by two employment agencies and one small association of employment agencies and identify forces impacting their decision-making over their legal status. In doing that, I build upon feminist geography of domestic work and migration studies, Foucault's work on governmentality and Ahmed's affective economies which I extend by elaborating on her understanding of lovability with which I engage to argue for a performative view of legality. The main methodology of the research is feminist ethnography where data were collected during 2-year long field work in Bangladeshi training centers and Hong Kong agencies. The research suggests that domestic workers' legal status is produced in a multi-layered process which includes social structures and power dynamics and affects in migration industry institutions.

Full text
Abstract:
Life without parole for juvenile offenders is a controversial issue across the globe. Recently, the United States stands alone as the only country in the world that allows juvenile offenders to be sentenced to life time confinement without the possibility of parole. Furthermore, the U.S. has seen an increase in juvenile waivers and blended sentences, which has resulted in harsher penalties for juvenile offenders who have committed serious and violent crimes. This analysis examines scientific evidence that shows juveniles are different from adults in terms of brain development, rational decision making abilities, and maturity levels. These findings have questioned the reasoning behind imposing adult punishment on adolescent behavior. This analysis also presents the legal arguments suggesting that juvenile life without parole is unconstitutional and violates the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. Arguments for and against life sentences were also presented. This study concludes with a discussion of policy implications, whether the U.S. Supreme Court should abolish juvenile life without parole sentencing practices and explores the possible future direction of juvenile sentencing in the United States.

Resettlement is one of three durable solutions, which the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) uses to achieve refugee rotection. Refugees are assumed to locally integrate, voluntarily repatriate or resettle. Too many of the world's refugees, however, are left to linger in non-durable conditions in countries of first asylum that are often only minimally safer than the countries they have fled. Where neither local integration nor repatriation is possible, resettlement is the only option. Resettlement requires a third country to be willing to accept refugees into its territory. While signatory states to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (1951 Convention) are obliged not to refoule asylum seekers at their borders, they have not committed to accept refugees for resettlement. By geographic distance, presumptions of safety, and a lack of legal obligations, those refugees who fail to make it to the frontiers of safe states are simply not seen. These refugees remain so far removed in a vague, far-off realm that they are rendered invisible. Their invisibility is reflected in the 1951 Convention's silence on obligations to them, the dearth of academic examination of resettlement, and media and government attention only in the celebratory act of making a small number of such refugees visible and legal, through the act of bringing them within a protective state's borders. Despite their invisibility, the protection needs of those refugees left outside the borders of safe states remains. The goals of this thesis are therefore to create visibility and increase resettlement. Resettlement is examined from its theoretical motivations, historical origins, current manipulations, and future possibilities - both generally and through an examination of the Canadian scheme. The thesis closes with recommendations for resettlement reform. They are targeted at UNHCR, the international community, national governments, and Canada in particular. For resettlement to offer a fair mode of protection a comprehensive and global model of resettlement must be designed and, ultimately, implemented.
