The Diplomatic Disputes Between The Holy See And The Irish State 2009-2012: A Legal Analysis, Darren O'Donovan
The Diplomatic Disputes Between The Holy See And The Irish State 2009-2012: A Legal Analysis, Darren O'Donovan
Darren O'Donovan
The diplomatic dispute that erupted between Ireland and the Holy See concerning the reports of Commissions of Investigation into child abuse in the dioceses of Cloyne1 and Dublin2 provoked critical reflection on a traditionally privileged bilateral relationship. It should also be viewed as having made a highly significant contribution to broader debates concerning the Holy See’s status under international law. The Holy See’s uniquely opaque and sui generis status contributed to the unprecedented tension between it and the Irish State during the diplomatic controversies.

The last thirty or so years have seen the influx of millions of people from Africa, the former Soviet Union, the Indian sub-continent, middle and far east into EU countries leading to the formation of new culturally, linguistic and religiously diverse minorities in the areas where they have settled. This paper proposes to address the question of how established minorities react to this inflow of other minorities, and specifically how linguistic minorities face this new situation by taking as a specific case study the centuries- old Occitan, Catalan and Corsican minorities in their diverse sociohistorical and political contexts that range …

One of the new concepts that emerged from the Third Law of the Sea Conference is that of the exclusive economic zone. Coastal states, particularly developing countries, have, by extending their fisheries jurisdiction to 200 nautical miles, acquired considerable problems of enforcement because of physical and economic costs involved. To minimize these, developing countries in the South Pacific are cooperating through the South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency Convention, inter alia, to devise new strategies of enforcement. A most useful device adopted has been compilation of a Regional Register of Fishing Vessels in "good standing'. -Author

“Religious Freedom,” The Individual Mandate, And Gifts: On Why The Church Is Not A Bomb Shelter, Patrick Mckinley Brennan

The Health and Human Services' regulatory requirement that all but a narrow set of "religious" employers provide contraceptives to employees is an example of what Robert Post and Nancy Rosenblum refer to as a growing "congruence" between civil society's values and the state's legally enacted policy. Catholics and many others have resisted the HHS requirement on the ground that it violates "religious freedom." They ask (in the words of Cardinal Dolan) to be "left alone" by the state. But the argument to be "left alone" overlooks or suppresses the fact that the Catholic Church understands that it is its role …

Hydropower: It's A Small World After All, Gina Warren

Global warming is here. As exhibited by the recent droughts, heat waves, severe storms and floods, climate change is no longer a question for the future, but a problem for the present. Of the many ways to help combat climate change, this article discusses the use of the most abundant renewable energy source on the plant – water. While large-scale hydropower (think Hoover Dam) is unlikely to see increased development due to its negative impact on the environment, fish, and wildlife, small-scale hydropower (think a highly technologically-advanced water mill) is environmentally-friendly and would produce clean, renewable energy to benefit local …
