This book examines the impact of water-related subsidies on social, and distributive equity and environmental sustainability in groundwater access and regulation in India.This book argues that adopting a water justice framework is essential to ensure equitable and sustainable access to and regulation of groundwater by balancing anthropogenic and ecological water needs. The inherent inequity resulting from property rights-controlled groundwater access gets widened by the social, political, and economic factors determining the subsidy beneficiaries. Adopting a socio-legal approach, the book draws on two contrasting case studies in India: Kerala, a water-secure state, and Rajasthan, an arid state. Arguing for a shift to a new paradigm in water governance, it critically examines the feasibility of the public trust doctrine and rights of nature discourse to analyse the best suitable regulatory framework that can balance the human right to water and ecological sustainability in groundwater resources. It demonstrates the feasibility of adopting various environmental law principles that balance human rights to water and nature. It argues that the hitherto highlighted public trust doctrine cannot address these inequities due to its anthropogenic bias and property rights link. The book examines the applicability of the rights of nature discourse instead of these property rights-based regulations to incorporate and mainstream the concerns of aquifer protection in water governance.This book shall be of great interest to students, scholars and practitioners of water law and policy, environmental law, water and social justice, development studies and political ecology.

Political asylum is a form of humanitarian protection offered to a person and his or her family who leave their home country for their safety, providing them with legal status (asylee) rather than being removed (deported) to a country where they were persecuted or fear persecution or harm.The support of U.S. legislation is vitally important in the face of political asylum claims for compelling events of family abuse and mistreatment, especially where the victims are often women and children. In addition, there is a great lack of knowledge by victims and attorneys about the possibility of obtaining protection from the immigration system for these events.This new book compiles information on cases of political asylum for domestic violence throughout national and international history, which have been presented from different perspectives and with different results.There are many expectations regarding this situation, with changes in government administrations depending on the time, however, the competent authorities address this problem with great concern and interest, and each person, organization, guild or other entities that may be involved to add possible new solutions, could shorten the gaps of understanding.These small lines are a valuable exercise in the area of training, knowledge and professional preparation, extending the cycle of contributions that has derived from my performance as a foreign lawyer and in turn forced migrant to this country that seeks to vindicate the principles of freedom and equality of this great nation.

El asilo político es una forma de protección humanitaria que se ofrece a una persona y su familia que abandona su país de origen por motivos de su seguridad, proporcionándole un estatus legal (asilado) en lugar de que sea removida (deportada) a un país donde fue perseguido o teme ser perseguido o lastimado.Es de vital importancia el apoyo de la legislación de EE. UU., ante la solicitud de asilo político por eventos apremiantes de maltrato y abuso familiar, especialmente donde las víctimas suelen ser mujeres y niños. Aunado a ello, existe gran desconocimiento por las víctimas y abogados, sobre la posibilidad de obtener protección al sistema migratorio sobre estos hechos.En este nuevo libro se recopila información de casos de asilo político por violencia doméstica a lo largo de la historia nacional e internacional, los cuales han sido presentados bajo distintas ópticas y con resultados diferentes.Muchas son las expectativas frente a esta situación, con cambios en las administraciones del gobierno según la época, no obstante, las autoridades competentes abordan con gran preocupación e interés esta problemática, y cada persona, organización, gremio u otras cualesquiera entidades que puedan involucrarse para agregar posibles nuevas soluciones, podrían acortar las brechas de entendimiento.Estas pequeñas líneas son un valioso ejercicio dentro del área de la capacitación, conocimiento y preparación profesional, extendiendo el ciclo de aportes que ha derivado de mi desempeño como abogado extranjero y a su vez migrante forzado hacia éste país que busca reivindicar los principios de la libertad y la igualdad de esta gran nación.

"EXTORTED" is a thought-provoking exploration of the power dynamics at play in high-profile cases and the devastating consequences of false accusations. It serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the importance of due process and the need to critically evaluate sensational claims in the age of instant information.

This book investigates the contemporary practices surrounding the international prosecution of sitting heads of states by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Through a specific focus on five contemporary case studies, the author reflects on the following: firstly, how the ICC itself has shaped the contemporary practices surrounding the prosecution of sitting heads of states; and secondly, the domestic and international "problematics" that have ensued from these practices. In doing so, Cacciatori argues that the international prosecution of sitting heads of states before the ICC constitutes "an imprudent exercise of Western humanitarianism". This, in turn, has not only worsened the domestic conditions of the countries subject to the ICC's investigations but in addition, it has also served to undermine the "very idea of cosmopolitan justice" in international politics.

This book offers a new perspective on international law, which was, for centuries, male-dominant and gender-blind. However, this gender blindness has led to many injustices, the failure to recognize certain rights, and to impunity for serious crimes. The book examines the development of gender perspectives in various branches of international law, while also discussing and explaining certain universal standards. However, particular attention is paid to the European human rights system. Accordingly, the book provides detailed explanations of the EU's external policies in relation to sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Also, there is a special focus on the relevant jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights in relation to gender and sexual orientation, female reproduction, and sexuality. The authors explain not only the importance of an adequate legal framework for combating gender inequality but also the detrimental effects of deeply rooted gender stereotypes and prejudices. Subsequently, the development of particular branches is presented, such as a gender-sensitive approach to the prevention of war crimes, gender perspectives in refugee law, and the evolution of gender-sensitive environmental law. In addition, the problematic situation of discrimination in the workplace is addressed from various perspectives. Many discussions, especially among EU member states, are reserved for the issue of women's participation in managerial boards, while the growing awareness of gender equality in international trade agreements represents another interesting topic. Lastly, the book offers a historical perspective on the development of international law in the interwar period, with a particular focus on the situation in Yugoslavia.The book critically reconsiders the dominant molds of legal knowledge and presents innovative gender-sensitive and gender-competent insights on a variety of issues in international law, in order to introduce readers to new research topics relevant to gender equality and to stimulate the development of an international legal and institutional framework for achieving greater gender equality in practice. The collection of essays presented here will be of interest to all those working in the field of international law, as well as students and academics looking to broaden and deepen their research on a range of issues in international law from gender perspectives.

This book conducts an examination of the international legal regime of the continental shelf through the lens of international relations (IR), with a primary focus on global governance theory.Presenting a new perspective within the field of IR and international law, the book offers new insights into the rules, principles, practices, and actors that establish and govern social interactions and the management of common affairs at the transnational level. The governance framework within the continental shelf can encompass a wider scope than legal laws alone, incorporating informal rules or potentially disregarding formal "black letter" rules that may not be effectively applied in practice. To exemplify how governance theory and other IR theories contribute to the analysis of the legal regime concerning the continental shelf, the book conducts an in-depth examination of three significant issues: (i) the demarcation and delimitation of the continental shelf; (ii) the rights and obligations of coastal states in the continental shelf; and (iii) procedural matters related to the continental shelf and international maritime adjudication.This book will be of interest to students and scholars in the field of the law of the sea, international law, global governance and international relations.

This book provides a definitive account of the creation and rise of the international Indigenous Peoples' movement.In the late 1970s, motivated by their dire situation and local struggles, and inspired by worldwide movements for social justice and decolonization, including the American civil rights movement, Indigenous Peoples around the world got together and began to organize at the international level. Although each defined itself by its relation to a unique land, culture, and often language, Indigenous Peoples from around the world made an extraordinary leap, using a common conceptual vocabulary, and addressing international bodies that until then had barely recognized their existence. At the intersection of politics, law and culture, this book documents the visionary emergence of the international Indigenous movement, detailing its challenges and achievements, including the historic recognition of Indigenous rights through the adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007. The winning by Indigenous Peoples of an unprecedented kind and degree of international participation - especially at the United Nations, an institution centered on states - meant overcoming enormous institutional and political resistance. The book shows how this participation became an increasingly assertive self-expression and even an exercise of self-determination by which Indigenous Peoples could both benefit from and contribute to the international community overall - now, crucially, by sharing their knowledge about climate change, their approaches to development and well-being, and their struggles against the impact of extractive industries on their lands and resources.Written by the former Chief of the Secretariat of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, this book will be of interest to researchers, teachers, students, advocates, practitioners and others with interests in Indigenous legal and political issues.

Political systems across much of the West are now subject to populist disruption, which often takes an anti-Constitutional form. This interdisciplinary book argues that the current analysis of anti-Constitutional populism, while often astute, is focused far too narrowly. It is held here that due to an obscured complex of dynamics that has shaped the history of the West since its inception and which remains active today, we do not understand the present. This complex not only explains the current disruptions across the fields of contemporary religion, politics, economics and emerging artificial intelligence but also how these disruptions derive each from originary sources. This work thereby explains not only the manner in which this complex has functioned across historical time but also why it is that its inherent, unresolvable flaws have triggered the shifts between these key fields as well as the intractability of these present disruptions. It is this flawed complex of factors that has led to current conflicts about abortion reform, political populism, the failure of neoliberalism and the imminent quantum shift in generative artificial intelligence. It is argued that in this, law is heavily implicated, especially at the constitutional level. Presenting a forensic examination of the root causes of all these disruptions, the study provides a toolbox of ideas with which to confront these challenges. This is a book of originality and significance, which will make fascinating reading for academics and researchers working in the areas of Socio-legal Studies, Legal Philosophy, Political Science, Theology, AI and Neuroscience.

This book offers a radical new understanding of law, beyond the confines of its formalization by the state.The book takes off from the late work of Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault, for whom law and its institutions came to be liberated from an ideological perspective that had treated them as sterile instruments for the reproduction of domination. Engaging its continental history, it addresses the concept of law, not merely as a 'command', but as the result of a much more complex legal operation aimed at dynamically stabilizing the social relations of a community. The book thus sidesteps the usual legal-political focus on those - from Hobbes to Schmitt - who have contributed to the categorical scheme of the modern state, and with it questions of political representation, sovereignty, the rigid distinction between public law and private law, and so on, as it pursues an alternative theoretical trajectory through Ravaisson, Tarde, and Hauriou. Politics, the book maintains, can be no longer be treated simply through the state form. And, relatedly, the law must be seen as a living law: a law that cannot be treated exclusively in formal terms, but must be taken as a grammar capable of articulating a politics of process, relationality, and innovation. Reconceived as such, law can then circumvent the aporias that arise when society is viewed as a private company, and the state seen as the bearer of the only possible means of formalizing its relationships.At the intersection of law and political theory, this book will speak to scholars and others with interests in both these areas, and especially those concerned with the limits of both conventional and critical approaches to law.

Constitutional law is a branch of law that deals with the principles and rules governing the structure, functions, and powers of government institutions, as well as the relationships between the government and the individuals within a specific jurisdiction. It encompasses the study and interpretation of a country's constitution, which is typically a foundational legal document outlining the framework for government, the distribution of powers, and the protection of individual rights. Key aspects of constitutional law include: 1. **Constitutional Framework: ** Examining the organization of government, the separation of powers among different branches (executive, legislative, and judicial), and the allocation of authority. 2. **Individual Rights: ** Analyzing the rights and freedoms guaranteed to individuals by the constitution, such as freedom of speech, religion, and privacy. Constitutional law often involves balancing these rights with the government's need to maintain order and protect the public. 3. **Judicial Review: ** The power of the judiciary to review and, if necessary, invalidate government actions that are inconsistent with the constitution. This concept allows courts to ensure that government actions comply with constitutional provisions. 4. **Amendment Process: ** Understanding how a constitution can be amended or revised to adapt to changing societal needs and values. 5. **Federalism: ** Addressing the distribution of powers between a central government and subordinate units, such as states or provinces, in a federal system. 6. **Constitutional Interpretation: ** Examining how legal scholars and courts interpret the language and intent of constitutional provisions, often considering historical context, precedent, and evolving societal norms. Constitutional law varies from one jurisdiction to another, as each country typically has its own constitution or a set of fundamental laws. In some cases, constitutional principles may be derived from a combination of written and unwritten sources, including legal traditions, judicial decisions, and customary practices. The field is dynamic and evolves through constitutional amendments, court decisions, and societal changes.

To the best of my knowledge, FATCA was a significant initiative led by the United States to improve the exchange of information and transparency in tax matters on a global basis. FATCA requires foreign financial institutions to report information about the financial accounts of U.S. persons to the U.S. IRS. In addition, various initiatives to promote transparency and combat tax evasion are being actively pursued by the EU and the OECD. The CRS requires participating jurisdictions to automatically exchange financial account information on an annual basis. DAC8, on the other hand, is part of the EU's efforts to extend the automatic exchange of information to digital platforms. It aims to address tax challenges in the digital economy. Nowadays, the world consists of countries that comply with the policy of exchanging information and those (not many) that fail to comply. The decisions of several countries to adapt to FATCA are in line with existing principles of greater information exchange and transparency, led by the EU and the OECD. Further developments are on the horizon.

This book exists at the intersection of two complementary and conflicting perspectives, law and biology. From the vantage point of both disciplines, Juris Zoology provides a comprehensive and realistic framework to objectively assess the role and significance of animals in American civil and criminal law. Contrasting the views of animal rights activists, Duckler examines animals in terms of their prehistory, history, biology, social utility, economic effect, and aesthetic value. Focusing on animal captivity, control, use, and value, Duckler refutes the proposal of granting animals legal rights. The book offers a new and controversial voice to the national conversation on the propriety of animal rights, and would be of interest to lawyers, economists, sociologists, as well as scholars and professionals in animal-related fields.

This book analyses questions of platform bias, algorithmic filtering and ranking of Internet speech, and declining perceptions of online freedom.Courts have intervened against biased platforms in important cases, but they have deferred to private sector decisions in many others, particularly in the United States. The First Amendment, human rights law, competition law, section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, and an array of state and foreign laws address bad faith conduct by Internet platforms or other commercial actors. Arguing that the problem of platform neutrality is similar to the net neutrality problem, the book discusses the assault on freedom of speech that emerges from public-private partnerships. This volume draws parallels between U.S. constitutional and statutory doctrines relating to shared spaces and the teachings of international human rights bodies relating to the responsibilities of private actors. It also connects the dots between new rights to appeal account or post removals under the Digital Services Act of the European Union and a variety of fair treatment obligations of platforms under American and European competition laws, "public accommodations" laws, and public utilities laws. Discussing artificial intelligence (AI) regulation, the book explores overlaps between European and U.S. efforts to limit algorithmic censorship or "shadow-banning".The volume will be of interest to students and scholars in the field of cyberlaw, the law of emerging technologies and artificial intelligence.

This collection explores a variety of issues facing contemporary juries, bringing together innovative research from different disciplines and jurisdictions. The debate stems from a real concern that criticism of the jury may lead to a loss of public confidence in the institution, and that this may renew Government efforts to further restrict the role of the jury in criminal proceedings in England and Wales.

This book offers a critical and timely account of how labour law has become a means for protecting employers rather than workers.The past few decades have witnessed something of a 'silent revolution' in the traditional protective role that labour law has played in the lives of workers. While this transformation has been overt in the realm of the market and at the level of the legislature, the role of the judiciary in this process remains significantly under-studied. Focusing on Australia, but drawing also on material from New Zealand, the UK and Canada, this book investigates how the common law has intervened to shape labour law in the image of commercial contract, determining disputes and defining legal issues by ignoring the realities of working life. Under this new conception of labour law, industrial relations between workers and employers are rarely reciprocal or relational. Rather, they are determined by the legal meaning and purpose of the contract of employment, drafted by lawyers for the benefit of employers and their human resources departments. Having demonstrated how approaches to contractual formalist legal reasoning have redefined labour law, this book goes on to propose an array of innovative legal and policy strategies to restore the protective role of labour law to the employment relationship.Scholarly, but also accessible to students, this book will appeal to those with interests in labour law, contract law and sociolegal studies.
