Contested Words: Legal Restrictions on Freedom of Speech in Liberal Democracies
ISBN: 9780754623656 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In modern liberal democracies, rights-based judicial intervention in the policy choices of elected bodies has always been controversial. For some, such judicial intervention has trivialized and impoverished democratic politics. For others judges have contributed to a dynamic and healthy dialogue between the different spheres of the constitution, removed from pressures imposed on elected representatives to respond to popular sentiment. This book provides a critical evaluation of ongoing debates surrounding the judicial role in protecting fundamental human rights, focusing in particular on...

ISBN: 9783838335346 / Angielski / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the Cold War minority rights have been re-internationalized and the protection of national minorities has become an important and often controversial factor in European politics. The EU has shown its commitment to minority protection when, in 1993 the European Council incorporated the respect for and protection of national minorities as a part of the political condition for EU membership. This resulted in a substantive incentive structure for the improvement of minority protection during the accession period. However, the author focuses on what has happened after the EU-accession and...

Recognition of Language Rights Under International Human Rights Law
ISBN: 9783838320304 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The recognition of language right under international human rights law has been a delicate issue for long. Availing this gap, states failed to respect and adopt appropriate measures that ensure the use of ones own language at least at a certain possible level. The absence of comprehensibly agreed international human rights law on linguistic rights, political and economic dilemmas, inter alia, are all used as an excuse for the failure of most states to recognize and respect language rights. Thus, this book strives to critically analyze the various arguments that can firmly ...

National identity for the Tajiks, the Uzbeks and the Turkmens is a construct derived from the Soviet period. Over seventy years of Soviet social engineering and efforts at creating a Soviet community have led to the unintended emergence of aspiring "national" elite and intelligentsia groups, trained and educated in their "national" languages and identifying Soviet-defined administrative territories as their "national" motherlands. The Soviet trained elite and intelligentsia groups in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan were responsible for the smooth transition to the post-Soviet era, and thus...

Unfettering the Political Mandate
ISBN: 9783838384399 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The intersection between the World Bank Groups work and human rights is apparent. This intersection was not lost on the framers of the Articles of Agreement and other constituent charters of the World Bank Group.

In this book, the author historically and chronologically examines the interpretations that the Bank has lent to these provisions. The author explains why the various interpretations necessitate a...

Since 9/11 and the onset of the ?war on terror, ? the principal challenge confronting liberal democracies has been to balance freedom with security and individual with collective rights. This book sheds new light on the evolution of human rights norms in liberal democracies by charting the activism of four Canadian NGOs on issues of refugee rights, hate speech, and the death penalty, including their use of difficult, often controversial legal cases as platforms to assert human rights principles and shape judicial policy-making. The struggles of these NGOs reveal not only the fragility but...

ISBN: 9781107008021 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Countries that now contemplate constitutional reform often grapple with the question of whether to constitutionalize social rights. This book presents an argument for why, under the right conditions, doing so can be a good way to advance social justice. In making such a case, the author considers the nature of the social minimum, the role of courts among other institutions, the empirical record of judicial impact, and the role of constitutional text. He argues, however, that when enforcing such rights, judges ought to adopt a theory of judicial restraint structured around four principles:...
