Full textDuring the last two decades the judiciary has come to play an increasingly important political role in Latin America. Constitutional courts and supreme courts are more active in counterbalancing executive and legislative power than ever before. At the same time, the lack of effective citizenship rights has prompted ordinary people to press their claims and secure their rights through the courts. This collection of essays analyzes the diverse manifestations of the judicialization of politics in contemporary Latin America, assessing their positive and negative consequences for state-society relations, the rule of law, and democratic governance in the region. With individual chapters exploring Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela, it advances a comparative framework for thinking about the nature of the judicialization of politics within contemporary Latin American democracies.

Full textThe new Kenyan constitution has introduced an immediate monist approach of implementing international legal standards. Accordingly, the transformation from dual to monism will necessitate a discussion of theories of incorporation of international instruments into national laws. This will set the basis of what method Kenya should follow. This paper attempts to address potential procedural problems with implementing the Rome Statute in a new monist Kenya and will argue that as a precautionary measure during the country’s transition any deviation, by the court, from national law will require articulation and justification under an international framework. It will include a review of the Kenyan International Crimes Act 2003 (ICA) and its adoption into the domestic law of Kenya. It will also include examination of previous situations where domestic courts have applied international law standards in domestic trials before and after the monist Constitution of 2010. This paper aims at assessing the key challenges to the effective implementation of the Rome Statute in Kenya both objectively and substantively. It examines the challenges facing the Kenyan courts in relation to the exercise of universal jurisdiction and the criminalization of international crimes. It will seek to point out the weaknesses and conflict between the Kenyan constitution, The International Crimes Act and the Rome Statute. The ICA was silent on some aspects of the Rome Statute and the paper will attempt to discuss these issues and what they portend in the implementation of the Rome statute in monism. It will also discuss the effect of the new constitution on the practical operation of the Rome Statue. The operational capacity of institutions mandated with practical implementation of the Rome Statute will be examined. It will further seek to ascertain whether the laws and policies reflect Kenya’s commitment to international criminal justice. By way of conclusion, the paper will create a possible inventory of issues, which might arise in Kenya’s prosecution of International crimes under the Rome Statute, and suggestions on how such issues could best be addressed.

Despite the significant growth in academic interest in both children's rights and socio-economic rights over the last two decades, children's socio-economic rights are a comparatively neglected area. This is particularly true with regard to the role of the courts in the enforcement of such rights. Aoife Nolan's book remedies this omission, focussing on the circumstances in which the courts can and should give effect to the socio-economic rights of children. The arguments put forward are located within the context of, and develop, long-standing debates in constitutional law, democratic theory and human rights. The claims made by the author are supported and illustrated by concrete examples of judicial enforcement of children's socio-economic rights from a variety of jurisdictions. The work is thus rooted in both theory and practice. The author brings together and addresses a wide range of issues that have never previously been considered together in book form. These include children's socio-economic rights; children as citizens and their position in relation to democratic decision-making processes; the implications of children and their rights for democratic and constitutional theory; the role of the courts in ensuring the enforcement of children's rights; and the debates surrounding the litigation and adjudication of socio-economic rights. This dissertation thus represents a major original contribution to the existing scholarship in a range of areas including human rights, legal and political theory and constitutional law.

The focus of this comparative study was to understand beliefs in marriage, relative power in relations, and confrontation coping strategies between couples attempting to divorce in family mediation in domestic court, and ordinary married couples. Fifty eight participants from the couples attempting to divorce in family mediation in domestic court were recruited, including 29 males and 29 females, they were asked to complete the questionnaire before they started the family mediation procedure. For the group of married couples, 28 males and 30 females who were volunteers from the Internet confirmed that they did not intend to divorce, also completed the questionnaires on paper by mail. The instruments included the Implicit Theories of Relationships Scale, the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, and the Marital Coping Inventory. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, Multivariable ANOVA, and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data.The main findings are as follows: First, there was no difference between the married couples and family mediation couples in terms of age and gender. However, when participants were divided into plaintiffs, counterparties and married couples, the numbers of female plaintiffs were significantly more. Second, family mediation couples versus married couples had significant differences in " beliefs in the relationship development; and "relative power in relation,” couples in the family mediation group had a bigger gap in their power distribution; and on "confrontation coping strategies”, couples in the family mediation group tended to escape into "self-interest" activities when confrontation happened. Third, when in three groups (plaintiffs, counterparties, and married couples),on " beliefs in the relationship development " married couples scored substantially higher than the other two groups;on "relative power relationship" husbands were higher in the power hierarchy in the respondents group than in the married couples group, and on"confrontation coping strategies" these groups presented essential differences in all items, including the items of "seeking social support", "conflicts", "introspective self-blame", "self-interest", and "avoidance".However, it was only in the "conflicts " items that the plaintiffs scored higher than married couples. In all of the other items, both plaintiffs and counterparties scored higher than married couples. Fourth, female respondents scored higher than the male ones on " beliefs in the relationship development " but males scored higher in the items of "seeking social support" than the female ones. Fifth, the following six variables could predict whether the couple wouldl enter family mediation procedures for divorce or not. They were "destiny beliefs" ," beliefs in the relationship development ", "relative power relationship", "positive approach”, "introspective self-blame" and "self-interest.” When the scores were higher on "destiny beliefs", "relative power relationship," "introspective self-blame", and "self-interest" and lower on "marriage development beliefs", and "positive approach", the couples were more likely to enter into the family mediation procedures for divorce in the domestic court. Research findings and implications were addressed. Key words: family mediation, marriage beliefs in married couples, relative power relationship in married couples, confrontation coping strategies in married couples.

Full textThe incorporation of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court into the domestic legal system of a State Party constitutes an enormous commitment to justice and the protection and guarantee of fundamental human rights. This situation is especially interesting in Colombia, where the violation of human rights has been historically well-known during the internal armed conflict in which the country has gone through for several years now. Since its ratification of the Rome Statute, Colombia has a duty to search for truth and justice, as well as providing for integral repair and guarantees of non-repetition for the victims of the armed conflict. The treaty does not allow the creation of rules that allow for impunity and prevent knowledge of the truth which can explain that the conflict has persisted for so many years. The implementation of the Rome Statute by Colombia adjustment has produced different legal effects into its legal system. Some of these effects can be observed in certain laws adopted by the Congress of the Republic and in the Constitutional’s Court and the Supreme Court of Justice’s judgements. These laws and judgments have relied on the international obligations of the country contained in human rights treaties and the Statute of Rome. This master thesis exposes, among other things, how the provisions of laws relating to amnesties and the Law Justice and peace make the Rome Statute inefficient in Colombia.
