Natalino, Ronzitti. Part 1 The Cold War Era (1945–89), 18 The Mayaguez Incident—1975. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/law/9780198784357.003.0018.
Full textAbstract:
This Chapter takes into consideration the Mayaguez incident, which occurred on 12 May 1975, immediately after the end of Vietnam war. The Mayaguez was a US cargo vessel accused by Cambodia of carrying out an espionage mission during its navigation off the Cambodia coast and for this reason boarded and captured by the Cambodian gunboats. The US, after having erroneously qualifying the capture as an act of piracy, intervened in rescue of their nationals and recovered the ship. The precedent raises several legal issues ranging from the law of espionage to the legality of forceful measures taken by the coastal State in its territorial sea and/or in its adjacent waters. However, the main legal value of the Mayaguez incident arises from the fact that it is considered a precedent for testing the validity of the doctrine of using armed force for rescuing nationals abroad.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the doctrine of sovereign immunity and the related ‘Sovereign Functions’ doctrine in India. It begins with an overview of the text of Article 300 of the Indian Constitution and proceeds with a brief survey of the case law on sovereign immunity that preceded the adoption of the Constitution. It then revisits some early attempts to revise the law on sovereign immunity in the post-Independence period, before discussing the judicial treatment of sovereign immunity and how the Indian Supreme Court has dealt with the constraints imposed by its own precedents, along with the Court’s difficulties in providing a coherent account of sovereign immunity. In particular, it considers the Supreme Court’s attempt to bypass the constraints that it had placed upon itself through the evolution of new doctrines in fundamental rights cases.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses a wide variety of judicial interpretation techniques that state courts apply to state constitutions. Many of these techniques arise from the unique characteristics of state constitutions, including their origin, function, form, and quality, all of which are different from the federal Constitution. The chapter analyzes many of these differing approaches, including the question whether a state constitutional provision is self-executing; possible negative implications arising from grants of authority to the state legislature; interpretation based on the “voice of the people,” arising from the fact that state constitutional provisions are ratified by the electorate; the much wider availability of state constitutional history materials, some of it quite recent; and the possibility of a different view of the doctrine of precedent concerning judicial interpretations of state constitutions. The chapter discusses canons, maxims, and other approaches to state constitutional interpretation, such as contemporaneous construction.

Full textAbstract:
Modern exponents of mindfulness meditation promote the therapeutic effects of “bare attention”—a sort of non-judgmental, non-discursive attending to the moment-to-moment flow of consciousness. This approach is arguably at odds with more traditional Theravāda Buddhist doctrine and meditative practice, but the cultivation of present-centered awareness is not without precedent in Buddhist history; similar innovations arose in medieval Chinese Zen (Chan) and Tibetan Dzogchen. These movements have several things in common. In each case the reforms were, in part, attempts to render Buddhist practice and insight accessible to laypeople unfamiliar with Buddhist philosophy and/or unwilling to adopt a renunciatory lifestyle. They also promised quick results. And finally, the innovations were met with suspicion and criticism from traditional Buddhist quarters. Those interested in the therapeutic effects of mindfulness and bare attention are often not aware of the existence, much less the content, of the controversies surrounding these practices in Asian Buddhist history.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter argues that the World Trade Organization (WTO) approach to sources of law is legal-positivist, non-teleological, and focused predominantly on the text of WTO covered agreements as explicitly agreed to by WTO members. This approach places heavy reliance on a de facto rule of precedent and an increasing role for non-binding instruments, with little or no reference to academic writings and a limited role for non-WTO rules of international law other than mainly procedural rules of general international law. Moreover, the WTO’s sources doctrine remains relatively traditional or mainstream. It is difficult to speak of a WTO- or trade-specific ‘deviation’ from the general rule of recognition regarding the establishment of sources. At the same time, the WTO experience does have specific features, with a more prominent role for some sources over others and some pushing of the boundaries when it comes to certain less traditional sources of international law.

Full textAbstract:
English Legal System gives an understanding of the operation of the law and the legal system which is essential to the laying of a solid foundation upon which to build further legal studies. After offering practical advice on how to study the English Legal System, an overview is given of the nature of law, the sources of law, how the English legal system operates, the courts of England and Wales, and some of the important institutions and personnel of the law. How legislation is made and how it is interpreted is discussed. How judges make law and how this process is governed by the doctrine of judicial precedent are explored. The rule coming from a case, the ratio decidendi, and other statements of law, obiter dicta, are explained. The book considers the impact of membership of the European Union (EU) and being a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The institutions and personnel of the law, such as juries, judges, and lawyers are covered. The criminal process, from arrest to trial to sentencing, is explained and analysed. Resolution of disputes through the civil courts and tribunals is explained, as is the civil process. Alternative methods of dispute resolution, e.g. mediation and arbitration are also considered.

Shea, C. Michael. Newman's Early Roman Catholic Legacy, 1845-1854. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198802563.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
For the past several decades, scholars have stressed that the genius of John Henry Newman remained underappreciated among his Roman Catholic contemporaries, and in order to find the true impact of his work, one must look to the century after his death. This book takes direct aim at that assumption. Examining a host of overlooked evidence from England and the European continent, Newman’s Early Legacy tracks letters, recorded conversations, and obscure and unpublished theological exchanges to show how Newman’s 1845 Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine influenced a cadre of Catholic teachers, writers, and Church authorities in nineteenth-century Rome. The book explores how these individuals then employed Newman’s theory of development to argue for the definability of the new dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Mary during the years preceding the doctrine’s promulgation in 1854. Through numerous twists and turns, the narrative traces how the theory of development became a factor in determining the very language that the Roman Catholic Church would use in referring to doctrinal change over time. In this way, Newman’s Early Legacy uncovers a key dimension of Newman’s significance in modern religious history.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter delineates the theoretical and practical implications of the preceding analysis. It first summarizes the case for each of the alternatives in turn, before considering the implications for war. In doing so, the chapter highlights the two central themes of the book: (1) there are several normative reasons in favour of the alternatives and (2) there are further objections to war. It argues that, although the preceding analysis appears to strengthen the case for pacifism (since there is more to the alternatives than it often seems), it also poses a challenge to it. The chapter then outlines the implications for the jus ad bellum principle of last resort. It defends an account of ‘Presumptive Last Resort’, which holds that war should be presumed to be the last feasible option. It also outlines five implications for the responsibility to protect doctrine.

Full textAbstract:
The first part of this article shows some main points of Brouwer's mathematics and the philosophical doctrines that anchor it. It points out that Brouwer's special conception of human consciousness spawns his positive ontological and epistemic doctrines as well as his negative program. The second part focuses on intuitionistic logic: once again a brief picture of the technical field will precede the philosophical analyses—this time those of Heyting and Dummett—of formal intuitionistic logic and its role in intuitionism. The third part, however, aims to show that matters aren't (or needn't be) so bleak. It suggests, in particular, that putting all this in historical perspective will show intuitionism as technically less quixotic and philosophically more unified than it had initially seemed.

Full textAbstract:
When it came to human nature, evangelicals did not share the optimism of those who felt moral philosophy could follow the precedents of natural philosophy. The distinctive evangelical doctrine of the “spirituality and extent of the law” was the key to diagnosing the sinful human condition, establishing the urgency of conversion, and defining evangelical moral agency. In this emphasis on law, evangelicals drew upon analogues in their law-minded culture, for this was England’s “century of law.” George Whitefield preached, quite literally, with the scaffold in the background. The relationship between what John Locke called divine law, civil law, and the law of public opinion can be seen clearly in the case of the lawyer-turned-preacher Martin Madan, and the assize sermons of John Wesley and Henry Venn.

Lloyd, Howell A. Coda: Colloquium. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198800149.003.0010.
Full textAbstract:
The disputed question of the Colloquium’s authorship is decided in Bodin’s favour, precedents for the work are noted, and its intellectual background is briefly reviewed. A dialogue aimed at discovering common ground and thereby a basis for reconciling discordant religious creeds, its structure is examined, and Bodin’s use of sources is assessed critically once more. In pursuing their aim the seven participants identify a number of seemingly promising themes, invoke a set of key terms, and seem to surmount various obstacles by converging on the idea of erecting agreement on the basis of the oldest creed. But the quest, with a natural philosopher and a Hebraist conspicuous in leading it, founders ultimately on precepts of Christian doctrine despite Bodin’s familiarity with its sources—and particularly on the long-vexed issue of the nature of Christ.

Full textAbstract:
This book is a compilation of twenty essays prepared for the occasion of the XIII Academic Conference of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Colombia, held in Bogota in January of 2019. Gathering some of the most prominent authors in constitutionalism and legal theory, the chapters critically examine classical debates. These debates concern the role of judicial review in a democracy, the enforcement of socio-economic rights, the doctrine of unconstitutional amendments, the use of international and foreign precedents by national Courts, and the theory of transitional justice. The book opens a dialogue between philosophers and empirical researchers, building bridges between 'Global North' and 'Global South' approaches to constitutionalism. As such, it is an invitation to reengage with the classical debates on constitutionalism whilst also providing fresh insights into the future of this discipline.

Borris, Kenneth. Spenser’s Phaedran Calender. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198807070.003.0003.
Full textAbstract:
Focusing on Spenser’s Shepheardes Calender, this chapter newly shows that one of the texts most marginal in previous readings, Plato’s Phaedrus, is one of the Calender’s foundational references. There Plato defines and coordinates love, beauty, the soul, its prospects, and the modes of revelatory furor, including the lover’s and the poet’s. Whereas the Calender’s Platonic affinities have typically seemed too vague to merit investigation, attention to the poem’s flight motif, to the precedents for its pictures in early modern iconography and emblem books, and especially to the quasi-emblematic interplay of the Maye eclogue’s poem and its illustration featuring two winged coach-horses shows that those Phaedran doctrines energized Spenser’s notions of poetry’s inspirations, power, and national significance. These findings profoundly change understanding of the Calender, Spenser’s literary development, and his intellectual biography.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the key concepts within the EU legal order: supremacy, direct effect, indirect effect, and state liability. The doctrine of supremacy dictates that EU law takes precedence over conflicting provisions of national law. If a provision of EU law is directly effective, it gives rise to rights upon which individuals can rely directly in the national court. If an EU measure is not directly effective, a claimant may be able to rely on it through the application of indirect effect, which requires national law to be interpreted in accordance with relevant EU law. State liability gives rise to a right to damages where an individual has suffered loss because a Member State has failed to implement a directive or has committed other breaches of EU law.

Full textAbstract:
Deference is perhaps the most important concept and practice in law. It lies at the core of every system of precedent, appellate review, federalism, and separation of powers, all of which center on how one actor should deal with previous decisions. Oddly enough, deference is also one of the most underanalyzed and undertheorized legal concepts and practices, perhaps because its applications are so varied. This book’s goal is to provide a definition of and vocabulary for deference that can be used to describe, explain, and/or criticize deference in all of its manifestations in the law, including some manifestations that are not always identified by legal actors as instances of deference, such as practices of precedent in which institutional actors consider their own prior decisions. This book undertakes a descriptive and conceptual, not normative or critical, analysis of deference. It leaves to others the question whether deference, in any particular context, is “legitimate” or “bad,” and it does not seek to prescribe whether and how any legal system should apply deference in any specific circumstance or to critique any particular deference doctrines. Rather, it hopes to bring the very concept of deference to the forefront of legal discussion; to identify, catalogue, and analyze at least the chief among its many legal applications; to set forth the many and varied rationales that can be and have been offered in support of (some species of) deference in different legal contexts; and thereby to provide a vocabulary and conceptual framework that can be employed in future projects, whether those projects are descriptive or prescriptive. While this book draws its material almost entirely from American law and practice, we hope in future work, perhaps with the help of other scholars, to expand the study to include the law and practice in other countries and particularly in non-common-law legal systems.

Meijer, Hugo, and Marco Wyss, eds. The Handbook of European Defence Policies and Armed Forces. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198790501.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
The armed forces of Europe have undergone a dramatic transformation since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Handbook of European Defence Policies and Armed Forces provides the first comprehensive analysis of national security and defence policies, strategies, doctrines, capabilities, and military operations, as well as the alliances and partnerships of European armed forces in response to the security challenges Europe has faced since the end of the cold war. A truly cross-European comparison of the evolution of national defence policies and armed forces remains a notable blind spot in the existing literature. This Handbook aims to fill this gap with fifty-one contributions on European defence and international security from around the world. The six parts focus on: country-based assessments of the evolution of the national defence policies of Europe’s major, medium, and lesser powers since the end of the cold war; the alliances and security partnerships developed by European states to cooperate in the provision of national security; the security challenges faced by European states and their armed forces, ranging from interstate through intra-state and transnational; the national security strategies and doctrines developed in response to these challenges; the military capabilities, and the underlying defence and technological industrial base, brought to bear to support national strategies and doctrines; and, finally, the national or multilateral military operations by European armed forces. The contributions to The Handbook collectively demonstrate the fruitfulness of giving analytical precedence back to the comparative study of national defence policies and armed forces across Europe.

Full textAbstract:
Bayle’s equivocal relationship to Arminianism is here examined from the perspective of the status of the Bible. Though rejecting the doctrine that every word was to be considered divinely inspired, Bayle did defend the divinity of Scripture in his polemic with Jean Le Clerc. For Le Clerc, biblical criticism could solve theological conflicts by discovering the authentic meaning of Scripture, but Bayle insisted that natural light precedes exegesis, and revelation is limited to those matters that do not conflict with reason. He dissociates himself from Socinianism by distinguishing moral from speculative reason. Only moral reason offers an absolute norm. Bayle disregards the Arminian distinction between what is against reason and what is beyond reason. His Commentaire philosophique juxtaposes the natural light that can identify divine elements in the Bible with our historical reality that frustrates its capacity for apprehending religious truths. Thus Bayle inevitably clashes with the Arminian tradition.

Full textAbstract:
All books in this flagship series contain carefully selected substantial extracts from key cases, legislation, and academic debate, providing able students with a stand-alone resource. This chapter discusses the doctrine of supremacy of EU law, which was developed by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) based on its conception of the ‘new legal order’. The ECJ ruled that the aim of creating a uniform common market between different states would be undermined if EU law could be made subordinate to national law of the various states. The validity of EU law can therefore, according to the ECJ, never be assessed by reference to national law. National courts are required to give immediate effect to EU law, of whatever rank, in cases that arise before them, and to ignore or to set aside any national law, of whatever rank, which could impede the application of EU law. Thus, according to the ECJ, any norm of EU law takes precedence over any provision of national law, including the national constitutions. This broad assertion of the supremacy of EU law has not however been accepted without qualification by national courts, and the chapter examines the nature of the qualifications that have been imposed by some national courts.

Full textAbstract:
Non-contractual obligations cover both tortious obligations and obligations which arise from unjust enrichment and analogous doctrines. Until relatively recently, choice of law rules formulated by the courts held sway in relation to both torts and restitution. However, the expanding role of the European Union in the field of private international law has led to Europe-wide legislation in the form of the Rome II Regulation. The Rome II Regulation lays down choice of law rules not only for tortious obligations, but also for other non-contractual obligations (arising from unjust enrichment, negotiorum gestio, and culpa in contrahendo). Because the material scope of the Regulation is limited in certain ways, the choice of law rules which preceded the entry into force of the European choice of law regime continue to apply to some common torts (in particular, defamation). This chapter discusses the Rome II Regulation, including its scope, tortious obligations, other non-contractual obligations, general provisions, non-contractual obligations excluded from the Rome II Regulation, and the interaction of non-contractual obligations and contractual obligations.

Full textAbstract:
The Singular Voice of Being: John Duns Scotus and Ultimate Difference reconsiders John Duns Scotus’s well-covered theory of the univocity of being in light of his less explored discussions of ultimate difference. Ultimate difference is a notion introduced by Aristotle and known by the Aristotelian tradition, but one that, the book argues, Scotus radically retrofits to buttress his doctrine of univocity. Ultimate difference for Aristotle meant the last difference in a line of specific differences whereby all the preceding differences would be united into a single substance rather than remain a heapish multiplicity. Scotus both broadens and deepens the term such that, in the end, it comes to resemble its Aristotelian ancestor more in name than in substance. This is because Scotus broadens ultimate difference to include not only specific differences, but also intrinsic modes of being (e.g., finite/infinite) and principles of individuation (i.e., haecceitates). Furthermore, he deepens it by divorcing it from anything with categorial classification, such as substantial form. Rather, by linking ultimate difference to primary diversity irreducible to opposition, privation, or contradiction, Scotus responds to the long-standing Parmenidean arguments against the division of being. Differentiation is not a fall from the perfect unity of being. Rather, ultimate difference divides being by perfective determination of this otherwise indifferent concept. The division of being culminates in individuation as the final degree of perfection, which constitutes indivisible (i.e., singular) degrees of being.

Lyons, Nathan. Signs in the Dust. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190941260.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Modern thought is characterised, according to Bruno Latour, by a dichotomy of meaningful culture and unmeaning nature. Signs in the Dust uses medieval semiotics to develop a new theory of nature and culture that resists this familiar picture of things. Through readings of Thomas Aquinas, Nicholas of Cusa, and John Poinsot (John of St Thomas), it offers a semiotic analysis of human culture in both its anthropological breadth as an enterprise of creaturely sign-making and its theological height as a finite participation in the Trinity, which can be understood as an absolute ‘cultural nature’. Signs then extends this account of human culture backwards into the natural depth of biological and physical nature. It puts the biosemiotics of its medieval sources, along with Félix Ravaisson’s philosophy of habit, into dialogue with the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis in contemporary biology, to show that a cultural dimension is present through the whole order of nature and the whole of natural history. It also retrieves Aquinas’ doctrine of intentions in the medium to show how signification can be attributed in a diminished way to even inanimate nature. The phenomena of human culture are reconceived then not as breaks with a meaningless nature but instead as heightenings and deepenings of natural movements of meaning that long precede and far exceed us. Against the modern divorce of nature and culture, then, the argument of Signs in the Dust is that culture is natural and nature is cultural, through and through.

Full textAbstract:
Atendiendo al trabajo colaborativo de la Red Interinstitucional -Derecho Procesal y Justicia- y al esfuerzo mancomunado de diferentes maestros que presentan los productos resultados de sus investigaciones, Instituciones de Educación Superior, y al Colegio de Jueces y Fiscales, se presenta para la discusión de la comunidad académica y científica, el libro resultado de investigación titulado Luces y sombras de la constitucionalización en la justicia, socializado en el V Seminario Internacional sobre el Proceso y la Justicia, realizado en Medellín, Colombia, en Plaza Mayor. Se propuso el tema de la constitucionalización, por considerarlo de suma importancia en el derecho procesal y en el mundo jurídico en general, entendiendo que produce efectos directos, desde la juridización con el precedente constitucional, la producción de normas y las transformaciones de las sociedades. Se encontrarán temas de discusión necesarios para la actualidad en la formación jurídica e interdisciplinar de los futuros abogados del país, y para el debate en el mundo operativo del derecho. Entre otros asuntos, se analizan y se presentan reflexiones sobre el reconocimiento de los límites sociológicos, se cuestiona sobre quiénes son los verdaderos formalistas en la teoría de la decisión judicial, quién debe defender 10 la Constitución desde el punto de vista de Schmitt y Kelsen, se habla sobre la tutela colectiva de derechos en las nuevas tendencias procesales, se presentan reflexiones sobre el acceso a la información ambiental y el secreto empresarial, pasando por la promoción del derecho a la convivencia pacífica, la minería en Colombia, el sacrificio de la tutela judicial efectiva, el derecho privado y la sanción penal, la seguridad social y su fundamentalidad, la violación de los derechos humanos en Argentina en las décadas de los 70 y 80 y el abordaje jurídico en la salida democrática, la decisión judicial desde los derechos fundamentales, el análisis sobre la propiedad privada como derecho sin límite, para terminar con las reflexiones frente a la conciliación en la propiedad intelectual desde la constitucionalización en Colombia. Es posiblemente temprano todavía en Colombia para presentar en su totalidad los efectos de la constitucionalización del derecho, ya que se requiere promover su difusión e investigación, por lo tanto, desde la Red, se pretende abrir camino para que progresivamente se continúen los estudios sistemáticos y sistémicos frente a la importancia del tema planteado. Asimismo, se hace una resignificación de la Constitución como la norma de normas y la importancia de los principios y las reglas constitucionales, desde los productos resultados de investigación de cada uno de los autores, en donde se observa que queda atrás la doctrina de Montesquieu, referente a la constitución programática, en donde la norma constitucional debía contar con la ley, desconociendo que la Constitución tiene carácter normativo y más que ley, es considerada como la ley suprema. Se debe comprender que el proceso judicial actualmente, necesita estar humanizado, tal como lo plantea el profesor Devis Echandía, de forma tal que se procure la inmediación del juez con los justiciables, comprendiendo que se trata de actuaciones de personas que juzgan a otras personas, por lo que es tan importante tener en cuenta los derechos fundamentales, de acuerdo a los estudios de gran impacto en Latinoamérica y en el mundo de los profesores Michelle Taruffo y Domingo 11 García Belaúnde se tendría una real constitucionalización de la justicia. Por ello la academia, la investigación y los versados en el conocimiento disciplinar del derecho en Colombia, proponen difundir entre los fines esenciales del Estado–como lo establece la Constitución Política – el predominio de la convivencia pacífica, sin maltratos emocionales, jurídicos, legales o constitucionales, promoviendo la vigencia de un orden justo para todos. En manos de los diferentes operadores jurídicos, abogados defensores, jueces de la República, abogados de los consultorios jurídicos y centros de conciliación, entre otros, se encuentra el entender que las personas no solo entregan sus problemas jurídicos, legales o contractuales, sino que también entregan su confianza, su ser, una vida, un sentir, una vivencia y, por ende, una realidad o un conflicto social; y los operadores jurídicos no podemos ser inferiores a esa expectativa, porque ante todo se debe tener en cuenta lo humano, el ser holístico. La sociedad suplica jueces y operadores jurídicos que obren con sensibilidad y, en este sentido, se plantea la idea de promover, difundir, posicionar e investigar sobre la humanización con la constitucionalización de la justicia. Teniendo en cuenta todo lo anterior, se plantean los nuevos modelos procesales, precisamente en la constitucionalización del derecho procesal, humanizando el proceso judicial para cumplir la función social de interés público, entre otros, el lograr la armonía social, reconociendo ante todo al ser humano.
