Marriage And The Ethics Of Office, Scott T. Fitzgibbon
Marriage And The Ethics Of Office, Scott T. Fitzgibbon
Scott T. FitzGibbon
This Article alms to retrieve the neglected concept of the "office," as in "the judicial office" or "corporate officer" or the"office of deacon or lector." It aims to present a thorough account of what that term means. It inquires into the ethics of office, advancing the thesis that to hold and exercise office is a good thing, not only in the obvious instrumental ways-it serves a function and it gets results-but also as a part of the "final," non instrumental good of the officeholder and even, in some arrangements, of the recipient of the officeholder's services. Office is an aspect …

The Idea Of Equality And Affirmative Actions, Paulo Barrozo
The Idea Of Equality And Affirmative Actions, Paulo Barrozo
Paulo Barrozo
The article starts out from a concise reconstruction of the republican and the democratic ideals in the context of the modern expansion on emancipatory ideals and programs so as to produce an understanding of the principle of equality in light of them. It then seeks to develop the rudiments of a constitutional theory of equality consistent with the emancipatory ideals from which it derives its most robust meaning. In its last segment the article examines the question of "affirmative action" in the access to higher education within the scope of the proposed basis for a theory of equality.

Increasingly, United States courts are recognizing various treaties, as well as declarations, proclamations, conventions, resolutions, programmes, protocols, and similar forms of inter- or multi-national “legislation” as evidence of a body of “customary international law” enforceable in domestic courts, particularly in the area of tort liability. These “legislative” documents, which this Article refers to as customary international law outputs, are seen by some courts as evidence of jus cogens norms that bind not only nations and state actors, but also private individuals. The most obvious evidence of this trend is in the proliferation of lawsuits against corporations with ties to the …
“El Principio De Precaución En La Jurisprudencia Del Tribunal De Justicia De Las Comunidades Europeas: ¿Un Principio De Buen Gobierno?”, Luis González Vaqué
“El Principio De Precaución En La Jurisprudencia Del Tribunal De Justicia De Las Comunidades Europeas: ¿Un Principio De Buen Gobierno?”, Luis González Vaqué

La jurisprudencia examinada no parece confortar las tesis de quienes se muestran favorables a una concepción maximalista del principio de precaución.
En definitiva, no puede considerarse que concluir que el citado principio se ‘limita’ a permitir a los ‘poderes públicos’ adoptar medidas preventivas proporcionadas, no discriminatorias y de carácter provisional cuando, a pesar de haberse realizado una evaluación de riesgos lo más completa posible, persisten incertidumbres sobre el alcance y naturaleza de un riesgo inaceptable, sea optar por una definición minimalista del principio de precaución. Especialmente, si se tiene en cuenta que una interpretación maximalista del mismo tiende a restarle …

Non-contractual liability on the part of the Community is subject to a number of conditions: unlawfulness of the conduct alleged against the Community institutions, actual damage and the existence of a causal link between the conduct of the institution and the damage complained of. If one of those conditions is not satisfied, the entire action must be dismissed and it is not necessary to consider the other conditions.
The Community rapid alert system for food and feed introduced by Directive 92/59 on general product safety confers on the national authorities only, and not on the Commission, responsibility for establishing whether …
