Tradizioni Di Giustizia E Stato Di Diritto Vol. I Religioni, Giurisdizione, Pluralismo, Giancarlo Anello

giancarlo anello

Cultural diversity requires new forms of legal equality and traditions of justice are the main keys of understanding the demands of recognition that rise from the cultural communities in Europe. In the opening section, the book deals with the issue of epistemic links between law, religion and cultures. The following two parts develop a rigorous analysis of the religious traditions of justice by an interdisciplinary approach to comparative law and anthropology, reconstructing the matrix of meaning, the distinctive processes and the legal projections, in historical contexts characterized by the encounter (or the clash) of religious communities within their own cultural …

Unanswered Questions Of A Minority People In International Law: A Comparative Study Between Southern Cameroons & South Sudan, Bernard Sama Mr

Bernard Sama

The month July of 2011 marked the birth of another nation in the World. The distressful journey of a minority people under the watchful eyes of the international community finally paid off with a new nation called the South Sudan . As I watched the South Sudanese celebrate independence on 9 July 2011, I was filled with joy as though they have finally landed.

Probability Thresholds As Deontological Constraints In Global Constitutionalism, Gila Stopler, Moshe Cohen-Eliya Jan 2011

Probability Thresholds As Deontological Constraints In Global Constitutionalism, Gila Stopler, Moshe Cohen-Eliya

Gila Stopler

This Article calls for the re-introduction of probability tests—such as the abandoned American “clear and present danger” or the Israeli “near certainty” test—and for their integration into contemporary models of rights adjudication in global constitutionalism. This stance is supported, inter alia, by psychological research on the cognitive bias of “probability neglect.” Both the American strict scrutiny test, which focuses on a rigorous means-ends analysis, and the highly influential German proportionality test, which centers on the balancing of rights and interests, fail to properly ensure the priority of rights. The Article contends that it is important to integrate a probability requirement …
