Der Femizid, eine extreme Form der geschlechtsspezifischen Gewalt, hat in der Geschichte Ecuadors eine schmerzhafte Spur hinterlassen. Dieses Buch versucht, dieses Problem aus einer geschlechtsspezifischen Perspektive zu beleuchten und seine sozialen, kulturellen und politischen Wurzeln sowie seine Auswirkungen auf das Leben der ecuadorianischen Frauen zu analysieren. Anhand einer umfassenden Analyse, die durch einschlägige Literaturangaben unterstützt wird, sollen die zugrunde liegenden Ursachen, die verheerenden Folgen und die möglichen Lösungen zur Bekämpfung dieser Geißel, die die ecuadorianische Gesellschaft plagt, sichtbar gemacht werden.

"Die Jugendkriminalität ist sicherlich eines der besten Beispiele für die Schwierigkeiten des modernen Gesetzgebers, das Strafrecht an Personen anzupassen, deren Urteilsvermögen nicht oder nur unvollständig vorhanden ist". Diese Aussage spiegelt die Feinheit der Frage wider, wie die strafrechtliche Verantwortung von Minderjährigen, deren Urteilsvermögen je nach Fall nicht vorhanden oder unvollständig ist, umgesetzt werden kann. Die Jugendstrafrechtspflege hat ihre eigene Prägung, ihr einzigartiges Identitätsmerkmal, das in dem richtigen Verhältnis zwischen der Notwendigkeit der Repression und dem Gebot des Schutzes besteht: ein wahrer Mischmasch. Der Großteil der Schutz- und Leitprinzipien für die Rechte von Kindern wird von der Kinderrechtskonvention vorgegeben.Als echte institutionelle Nachahmung haben diese Schutzprinzipien eine echte Grundlage für ein Jugendrecht in unseren nationalen Gesetzgebungen geschaffen. So sind die Jugendgerichte in Niger nach einem einzigartigen Prozess entstanden. In jedem der zehn nigrischen Landgerichte wurde mindestens ein Jugendrichter eingesetzt, um die Anwendung der sensiblen Jugendstrafjustiz zu schützen und zu gewährleisten.

O objetivo desta investigação é demonstrar a existência de uma regulamentação no direito público colombiano encarregada de controlar e mitigar o risco financeiro no regime de concessão de obras públicas no sector rodoviário. Desta forma, será realizada uma análise das leis mais importantes que regulamentaram o regime de concessão de obras públicas no sector rodoviário, a fim de demonstrar que existe uma política pública sólida que levou à implementação de uma estratégia coerente resultante da experiência e evolução para o controlo deste tipo de riscos contratuais, uma política que se tornou evidente não só nas leis tradicionais de contratação pública, mas também esteve presente na mesma lei de parcerias público-privadas.

L'objectif de cette recherche est de démontrer l'existence d'une réglementation dans le droit public colombien en charge du contrôle et de l'atténuation du risque financier dans le régime de concession des travaux publics dans le secteur routier. Ainsi, une analyse des lois les plus importantes qui ont réglementé le régime de concession des travaux publics dans le secteur routier sera effectuée afin de démontrer qu'il existe une politique publique solide qui a conduit à la mise en oeuvre d'une stratégie cohérente résultant de l'expérience et de l'évolution pour le contrôle de ce type de risques contractuels, une politique qui est devenue évidente non seulement dans les lois traditionnelles sur les marchés publics, mais qui est également présente dans la même loi sur les partenariats public-privé.

Lo scopo di questa ricerca è dimostrare l'esistenza di una normativa nel diritto pubblico colombiano incaricata di controllare e mitigare il rischio finanziario nel regime di concessione di opere pubbliche nel settore stradale. In questo modo, verrà effettuata un'analisi delle leggi più importanti che hanno regolato il regime di concessione di opere pubbliche nel settore stradale, al fine di dimostrare l'esistenza di una solida politica pubblica che ha portato all'implementazione di una strategia coerente derivante dall'esperienza e dall'evoluzione per il controllo di questo tipo di rischi contrattuali, una politica che è diventata evidente non solo nelle leggi tradizionali degli appalti pubblici, ma è stata anche presente nella stessa legge dei partenariati pubblico-privati.

Ziel dieser Untersuchung ist es, die Existenz einer Regelung im kolumbianischen öffentlichen Recht nachzuweisen, die für die Kontrolle und Minderung des finanziellen Risikos bei der Vergabe von Konzessionen für öffentliche Arbeiten im Straßenbau zuständig ist. Auf diese Weise wird eine Analyse der wichtigsten Gesetze durchgeführt, die das Konzessionssystem für öffentliche Bauarbeiten im Straßensektor geregelt haben, um zu zeigen, dass es eine solide öffentliche Politik gibt, die zur Umsetzung einer kohärenten Strategie geführt hat, die aus der Erfahrung und der Entwicklung für die Kontrolle dieser Art von vertraglichen Risiken resultiert, eine Politik, die nicht nur in den traditionellen Gesetzen des öffentlichen Auftragswesens offensichtlich geworden ist, sondern auch in demselben Gesetz für öffentlich-private Partnerschaften vorhanden ist.

Глинистый грунт с низкой прочностью на сдвиг и высокой сжимаемостью не может быть использован для подстилающего слоя, поскольку его значение CBR не соответствует допустимым нормам. Поэтому его необходимо модифицировать, если требуется использовать для подстилающего слоя под дорожным покрытием. Для модификации необходима техника стабилизации или модификации грунта. В связи с этим мы пытаемся изменить его свойства, чтобы использовать в качестве материала для подстилающего слоя. Здесь мы используем золу-унос в качестве добавки для стабилизации и улучшения свойств. Было предпринято много попыток использовать золу, здесь мы пытаемся изучить стабилизацию золы в период твердения, так как зола используется в качестве заменителя цемента в бетоне, который набирает прочность при твердении.

Lehmige Böden mit geringer Scherfestigkeit und hoher Kompressibilität können nicht für den Unterbau verwendet werden, da ihr CBR-Wert nicht den zulässigen Normen entspricht. Daher muss er modifiziert werden, wenn er für den Unterbau von Fahrbahnen verwendet werden soll. Für die Modifizierung ist eine Stabilisierung oder eine Bodenmodifikationstechnik erforderlich. In dieser Hinsicht versuchen wir, die Eigenschaften so zu verändern, dass sie für den Einsatz als Unterbau geeignet sind. Hier verwenden wir Flugasche als Zusatzstoff zur Stabilisierung und Verbesserung der Eigenschaften. Viele Versuche wurden mit Flugasche unternommen, hier versuchen wir eine Studie über die Stabilisierung mit Flugasche während der Aushärtungszeit, da Flugasche als Ersatz für Zement in Beton verwendet wird, der mit der Aushärtung an Festigkeit gewinnt.

Ce livre est le résultat d'une série de réflexions menées ces dernières années qui remettent en question des processus récents, en particulier dans les grandes villes. La périurbanisation est l'un des mouvements importants dont il est question dans cet ouvrage. Processus récent sur la scène brésilienne, la périurbanisation a provoqué des changements structurels, sociaux, économiques et paysagers dans les zones rurales en raison de la pénétration d'activités, de personnes et d'intérêts urbains dans des zones traditionnellement marquées par la présence de la campagne. Il en résulte de plus en plus la formation d'espaces multifonctionnels dans lesquels le rural et l'urbain coexistent, ce qui rend l'espace profondément complexe.

Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich den Reaktionsmöglichkeiten, welche die Rechtsordnung der Europäischen Union ihren Organen zur Sicherung der in Artikel 2 EUV kodifizierten Werte zur Verfügung stellt. Die Europäische Union wird hierbei in ihrer Eigenschaft als Wertegemeinschaft, die sich insbesondere auf demokratischen, rechtsstaatlichen und menschenrechtlichen Zielen und Vorstellungen gründet, beleuchtet. Neben der Analyse der Werteklausel nach Artikel 2 EUV setzt sich die Arbeit im Kern sowohl mit den präventiven als auch repressiven Instrumenten des unionalen Primär- und Sekundärrechts zur Sicherung des Wertekanons auseinander. Im Wege eines systematischen Vergleichs erfolgt abschließend eine Bewertung der verschiedenen Handlungsmechanismen.

Die Arbeit befasst sich mit der Rechtssicherheit internationaler Paare in der Europäischen Union, deren Zahl kontinuierlich ansteigt. Hierzu betreibt sie Grundlagenforschung mit Blick auf das Ziel der EU, einen "Raum der Freiheit, der Sicherheit und des Rechts" zu verwirklichen, in dem ihre Bürger sich ohne rechtliche Hindernisse und Diskriminierung frei bewegen können. Mithilfe zahlreicher Beispielsfälle zeigt die Autorin auf, welche Bedeutung einer kohärenten Einbettung der Europäischen Güterrechtsverordnungen in das kollisions- und zivilverfahrensrechtliche System der Union zukommt und welche Inkohärenzen zwischen den in nur wenigen Jahren verabschiedeten Verordnungen auf dem Gebiet des Familien- und Erbrechts noch beseitigt werden müssen.

This book presents a new window on the legal system of Ancient Israel. Building on the understanding that Israel was a society where writing was the medium for some forms of discourse but not others, where written texts were performed orally and rewritten from oral performances, Robert D. Miller II, OFS, examines law and jurisprudence in this oral-and-literate world. Using Iceland as an ethnographic analogy, Miller shows how law was practiced, performed, and transmitted; the way written artifacts of the law fit into oral performance and transmission; and the relationship of the detritus of law that survives in the Hebrew Bible, both Torah and Proverbs, to that earlier social world.

In "Notes from OHO Disability Hearings", Dr. Alexandre Todorov draws on his own 30 years' experience as a Medical Expert in over 4,000 OHO Disability cases to help attorneys and non-attorneys develop more compelling, stronger Social Security Office of Hearing Operations (OHO) disability cases for their clients. "Notes from OHO Disability Hearings" gives the necessary legal and medical knowledge so these representatives can successfully represent claimants at the hearings."Notes from OHO Disability Hearings" first presents the rules and regulations governing the OHO hearing process. The second section is a guide to the Listing of Impairments which details the medical criteria applicants must meet to receive disability. Vignettes from actual cases act serve as concrete examples of the disability severity required to grant relief to a claimant and each concludes with an assessment of the case and the rationale of the judge's decision.Based on Dr. Todorov's professional experience as a medical expert, it is his contention that better mining of medical records will nearly double the approval rate of disability applications. The goal of the book is to help representatives better analyze the medical record and better present the facts to the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).

Cross-border child relocation cases are among the most difficult issues in family law. As they engage free-movement rights-- the foundation of European Union law-- there is an increasing interest among scholars and practitioners alike in the influence of EU law on child relocation. However, considering the EU's scope of competence and the limited jurisprudence of the Court of Justice on such family matters, many questions regarding the reach of EU law have remained open. This book is the first monograph to investigate Europeanisation of cross-border child relocation law. What is the scope and nature of EU law's influence, both current and prospective? What are its impacts on national law? Cross-Border Child Relocation in the EU analyses the European legal framework of child relocation and potential harmonisation of the field. Using case law from Germany, Poland, England and Wales, it then qualitatively examines the processes of adaptation of national child relocation law to EU law. The book outlines the limits of EU law's pressures, but also conceptualises its influence from a constructivist perspective.

Social and Scientific Uncertainties in Environmental Law explores how environmental law can be better developed and utilised to address environmental issue, and addresses the knowledge gaps and uncertainties in the legislative, administrative and judicial branches. Due to its multidisciplinary approach, this volume offers a fresh perspective, with each contribution providing a novel insight into the uncertainty of scientific understanding and making a valuable contribution to the field of environmental law. There is an urgent need for a variety of disciplines to come together to develop a common language to tackle the environmental issues besetting our world today, which this volume strives to meet.

This unique collection explores the complex issue of vigilantism, how it is represented in popular culture, and what is its impact on behavior and the implications for the rule of law. The book is a transnational investigation across a range of eleven different jurisdictions, including accounts of the Anglophone world (Australia, Britain, Canada, and the United States), European experiences (Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, and Portugal), and South American jurisdictions (Argentina and Brazil). The essays, written by prominent international scholars in law, sociology, criminology, and media studies, present data, historical and recent examples of vigilantism; examine the national Laws and jurisprudence; and focus on the broad theme of vigilante justice in popular culture (literature, films, television). Vigilante Justice in Society and Popular Culture sheds light on this topic offering a detailed look beyond the Anglophone world. This collection will enrich the debate by adding the opportunity for comparison which has been largely lacking in scholarly debate. As such, it will appeal not only to scholars of law, sociology, criminology, and media studies, but also to all those who are engaged with these topics alike.

Animal law is a growing discipline, as is animal ethics. In this wide-ranging book, scholars from around the world address the intersections between the two. Specifically, this collection focuses on pressing moral issues and how law can protect animals from cruelty and abuse. A project of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, the book is edited by the Oxford Centre's directors, Andrew Linzey and Clair Linzey, and features contributions from many of its fellows. Divided into three sections, the work explores historical perspectives and ethical-legal issues such as "personhood" and "property" before focusing on five practical case studies. The volume introduces readers to the interweaving between these subjects and should act as a spur to further interdisciplinary work.

The tremendous growth in foreign direct investment (FDI) in Africa comes at a time when the field of international investment law and arbitration is witnessing a renewal. The investment has led to big business for law firms in the area of investment arbitration and the last decade has witnessed an increased number of investment treaties, proliferating investment disputes, the rise of mega- regional trade agreements and the negotiation of mega- regional infrastructure projects. Yet, while the argument in support of investment treaties as instruments to attract foreign direct investment is highly contested, many African countries are no doubt becoming more aware of the need to reshape the international investment architecture. This volume explores trends in FDI on the African continent, the benefits and challenges that FDI presents for African States, and Africa's participation in the international investment law regime. Featuring contributions from leading African international lawyers, arbitrators, jurists, academics, and litigation experts, this landmark volume is the first of its kind of explore African perspectives in international investment law. Hodu and Mbengue bring together non-mainstream approaches to the debate on the nexus between foreign investment and development, addressing key conceptual issues that will define contemporary international investment law for decades to come. With insights and critical comments on the challenges of Africa's foreign investment climate and international investment law, this timely collection is essential reading for academics, students, and practitioners alike.

This book maps out the moral, legal, and societal issues brought forth by the use of autonomous systems such as AI and smart robots in outer space. Humanity is on the brink of a new space era in which projects for permanent human colonies on the Moon and space missions with autonomous AI systems will soon become a reality. Principles and provisions of international space law fall increasingly short in tackling this scenario. Experts and institutions have recommended improvements to the legal framework, such as new international agreements, or policies that would not require any amendment to conventional law. Most of the time, such proposals and recommendations overlook the challenges posed by technology and how autonomous and intelligent systems in outer space require moral and legal standards of their own. This book argues that the traditional focus on satellite communications, space-related services, and the appropriability of celestial resources needs to be integrated by new laws of outer space regulating cybersecurity law and environmental law, data governance and consumer protection. The new laws of outer space will increasingly concern the development of new standards for the behaviour and decision-making of AI systems and smart robots, with and without humans aboard deep space missions. What laws shall govern us out there, in a new terra incognita? This is the question that the book sets out to answer.

Revisits the sex wars of the 1970s and '80s and examines their influence on how we think about sexual harm in the #MeToo era #MeToo's stunning explosion on social media in October 2017 radically changed--and amplified--conversations about sexual violence as it revealed how widespread the issue is and toppled prominent celebrities and politicians. But, as the movement spread, a conflict emerged among feminist supporters and detractors about how punishment should be doled out and how justice should be served. The New Sex Wars reveals that these clashes are nothing new. Delving into the contentious debates from the '70s and '80s, Brenda Cossman traces the striking echoes in the feminist divisions of this earlier period. In exploring the history of past conflicts--the resistance to finding common ground, the media's pleasure in portraying the debates as polarized cat fights, the simplification of viewpoints as pro- and anti-sex--she shows how they have come to shape the #MeToo era. From the '70s to today, Cossman examines tensions between the need for recognition and protection under the law, and the colossal and ongoing failure of that law to redress historic injustice. By circumventing law altogether, #MeToo has led us to question whether justice can be served outside of the courtroom. Cossman argues for a different way forward--one based on reparative models that focus on shared desired outcomes and the willingness to understand the other side. Thoughtful and compelling, The New Sex Wars explores what can been learned from these stories, what traps we repeatedly fall into, how we have been denied our anger, and where to begin to make law work.

Explores the burgeoning menstrual advocacy movement and analyzes how law should evolve to take menstruation into account. Approximately half the population menstruates for a large portion of their lives, but the law is mostly silent about the topic. Until recently, most people would have said that periods are private matters not to be discussed in public. But the last few years have seen a new willingness among advocates and allies of all ages to speak openly about periods. Slowly around the globe, people are recognizing the basic fundamental human right to address menstruation in a safe and affordable way, free of stigma, shame, or barriers to access. Menstruation Matters explores the role of law in this movement. It asks what the law currently says about menstruation (spoiler alert: not much) and provides a roadmap for legal reform that can move society closer to a world where no one is held back or disadvantaged by menstruation. Bridget J. Crawford and Emily Gold Waldman examine these issues in a wide range of contexts, from schools to workplaces to prisons to tax policies and more. Ultimately, they seek to transform both law and society so that menstruation is no longer an obstacle to full participation in all aspects of public and private life.

Provides compelling and manageable solutions for how to reform the criminal justice system from the inside out A racial reckoning in the US criminal justice system was long overdue well before the highly publicized murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many others in 2020. Progressive Prosecution argues that prosecutors, having helped build our failed system of mass incarceration, must now lead the charge to dismantle it. With contributions from practicing district attorneys as well as leading scholars in the fields of law and criminal justice, Taylor-Thompson and Thompson's volume offers an unapologetically ambitious vision for reform. The contributors draw from empirical evidence and years of combined research experience to argue that change must happen at the local level, with prosecutors choosing to adopt race-conscious approaches. These prosecutors must do the hard work themselves, actively focusing on the ways that race misshapes perceptions of criminality, influences discretionary calls, affects how we select juries, and induces a reliance on punitive responses. Progressive Prosecution acts as both a call to action and a practical guide, instructing prosecutors on what they need to do to bring about lasting and meaningful change. Progressive Prosecution is an urgent work of scholarship, a must-read for anyone committed to racial equity and meaningful criminal justice reform.

Shines a light on the emerging field of law dedicated to responding to and resolving the crises of the twenty-first century In an increasingly globalized world, a complex and interlocking web of nations, governments, non-state actors, laws, and rules affect human behavior. When crisis hits--whether that be extrajudicial detention, unprompted deportation, pandemics, or natural disasters--lawyers are increasingly among the first responders, equipped with the knowledge necessary to navigate the regulations of this ever more complex world. Crisis Lawyering explores this phenomenon and attempts to identify and define what it means to engage in the practice of law in crisis situations. In so doing, it hopes to sketch out the contours of the emerging field of crisis lawyering. Contributors to this volume explore cases surrounding domestic violence; dealing with immigrants in detention and banned from travel; policing in Ferguson, Missouri; the kidnapping of journalists; and climate change, among other crises. Their analysis not only serves as guidance to lawyers in such situations, but also helps others who deal with crises understand those crises--and the role of lawyers in them--better so that they may respond to them more effectively, efficiently, collaboratively and creatively. Crisis Lawyering shines a light on the emerging field of law dedicated to responding to and resolving the complex crises of the twenty-first century.

A chronicle of ableism and disability activism in New York City during the COVID-19 pandemic How to Be Disabled in a Pandemic is the first book to document the experiences of those hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City--disabled people. Diverse disability communities across the five boroughs have been disproportionately impacted by city and national policies, work and housing conditions, stigma, racism, and violence--as much as by the virus itself. Disabled and chronically-ill activists have protested plans for medical rationing and refuted the eugenic logic of mainstream politicians and journalists who "reassure" audiences that only older people and those with disabilities continue to die from COVID-19. At the same time, as exemplified by the viral hashtag #DisabledPeopleToldYou, disability expertise has become widely recognized in practices such as accessible remote work and education, quarantine, and distributed networks of support and mutual aid. This edited volume charts the legacies of this "mass disabling event" for uncertain viral futures, exploring the dialectic between disproportionate risk and the creativity of a disability justice response. How to Be Disabled in a Pandemic includes contributions by wide-ranging disability scholars, writers, and activists whose research and lived experiences chronicle the pandemic's impacts in prisons, migrant detention centers, Chinatown senior centers, hospitals in Queens and the Bronx, working from bed in Brooklyn, subways, schools, housing shelters, social media, and other locations of public and private life. By focusing on New York City over the course of three years, the book reveals key themes of the pandemic, including hierarchies of disability vulnerability, the deployment of disability as a tool of population management, and innovative crip pandemic cultural production. How to Be Disabled in a Pandemic honors those lost, as well as those who survived, by calling for just policies and caring infrastructures, not only in times of crisis but for the long haul.
