2026-03-06T04:44:04+00:00

This study focuses on the concept of best interests of the child, which is included in Article 3(1) of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the prohibition of ill-treatment, Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, together with the concept of free and informed consent in the context of medical interventions on intersex children. More precisely, it analyses how the best interests of the child, and the prohibition of ill-treatment are interpreted in the case of medical inte[...]

The Poetics of Human Rights: Auden and al-jawahiri in the 1930s

2026-03-06T04:28:01+00:00

It is an attempt to find out answers for the ongoing controversies on human rights across cultures, as well as between the humanitarian and the legal perspectives of human rights. It is also a step towards inspecting further dimensions in the relationship between human rights and literature, considering poetry as a main literary genre. Through narrative, argumentative and analytic methods this research proj[...]

Austria had in 1920 Constitutional Court followed by Italy in 1946, Germany in 1949, Romania in 1989, South Africa in 1991, and Ethiopia in 1995. Each Constitution has its provisions on the constitutional interpretation. Romania has its own provisions and it is considered here its legality and the best possible measures and recommendations for future. Judicial power is vested in judiciary to interpret constitution, laws, and actions of other organs of government. Judicial review is the function [...]

Schwachstellen in der Parteienfinanzierung: Was die Zeitungen uns zu notwendigen Reformen verschweigen

Spender in Estland – Welche Strukturen finden sich bei Spenden an estnische Parteien?

2026-03-06T04:03:04+00:00

Die Frage nach der Finanzierung politischer Parteien ist in der Politikwissenschaft bis heute aktuell. Besonders im Osten Europas gibt es hierzu jedoch nur wenig Literatur, vor allem zu Parteispenden. Im vorliegenden Artikel werden die Spenden an estnische Parteien zwischen 2009 und 2012 näher untersucht. Grundsätzlich ist hierbei festzustellen, dass Spenden neben der hohen staatlichen Parteienfinanzierung nur eine untergeordnete Rolle spielen.

The family is the union of two people whose relationship aims, among other things, at having children. The relationship built within the smallest cells of society, but also relationship affected by external factors. One of these external factors is the statutory law, including the constitution. The Polish Constitution with its regulations and principles protects the rights of both the child and family well-being. These rules, which form the basis of other legislative acts, should be respected an[...]

2026-03-06T01:24:33+00:00

This paper examines the intricate interplay between counterterrorism strategies and the essential right to a fair trial. It addresses the central question of whether the legal regimes employed to combat terrorism violate basic human rights. The study analyzes the effects of counterterrorism laws on procedural rights, including judicial independence, impartiality, and the right to defense. Using a comparative analysis approach, the paper focuses on legal systems in which derogations involving vio[...]

Deference to the Executive? ... : The Development of Judicial Review in Foreign Affairs in the United States of America, Germany and South Africa ...

2026-03-02T12:20:38+00:00

The book examines the changing approach of courts in reviewing foreign affairs decisions of the executive. Traditionally, the judiciary awarded deference to executive decisions in that area, a notion that clashes with the idea of general judicial oversight in the modern constitutional state. As the problem is often looked at solely from a national angle, this thesis chooses a comparative approach taking into account the development in three democratic countries to identify general trends as well[...]

JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education / The Rights of the Child as a Challenge to Human Rights Education

2026-02-27T06:04:09+00:00

Often human rights education of children does not include children's rights. Children get the impression that human rights are rights of adults and are mainly violated in faraway regions of the world. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) ratified by almost all states has clarified that human rights are valid for children as well, that they have a right to be educated about these rights and to claim these children's human rights. This step has opened a new approach to c[...]

Maastricht Journal of European and Comparative Law / The Faceless Court? The Role of Individual CJEU Members

2026-02-27T05:06:42+00:00

The CJEU is perceived to be a rather faceless court due to the principle of collegiality that is sup- posed to suppress individuality in its inner workings. This paper argues that this is not necessarily true in all cases and discusses instances wherein individual faces of the CJEU’s members become discernible, in particular in their roles as President and Vice-President, respectively, the judge-rapporteur, Advocates General, single judges at the General Court, during public oral hearings, as li[...]

The Role of Children’s Rights in Regulating Digital Advertising

2026-02-19T08:27:28+00:00

An important domain in which children’s rights are reconfigured by internet use, is digital advertising. New advertising formats such as advergames, personalised and integrated advertising have permeated the online environments in which children play, communicate and search for information. The often immersive, interactive and increasingly personalised nature of these advertising formats makes it difficult for children to recognise and make informed and well-balanced commercial decisions. This r[...]

Reflections of a Child. Depicting Healthy Childhood in the 1940s and 1960s

2026-02-19T08:27:26+00:00

Throughout the last century, childhood has undergone some significant changes. Children evolved from miniature adults working in factories to specific actors with rights of their own. This transformation also altered the way that society perceived childhood and the way people thought children should be treated and cared for. The process has been documented on a macro level. The transformation of children themselves is somewhat overshadowed by larger study domains, but nevertheless is just as int[...]

Op-Ed: “Stanchev (C-15/24 PPU): Right of Access to a Lawyer and Waiver of that Right by an Illiterate Person: What Exactly does EU Law Require of Member States?” by Ilaria Gambardella

2026-02-19T08:27:23+00:00

The judgement delivered by the First Chamber of the Court of Justice in Stanchev (C-15/24 PPU) is part of the growing body of case law interpreting the so-called ‘Roadmap Directives’ on procedural rights in criminal proceedings. Directly inspired by the case law of ECtHR, they were adopted based on 82(2) TFEU. In this judgment, the Court was called to clarify the scope of EU law requirements flowing from Directive 2013/48 on the right of access to a lawyer and more particularly, the interpretati[...]

De rol van een grondwettelijk hof in een rechtsstatelijk perspectief. ; The role of a constitutional court from the perspective of the rule of law

2026-02-19T08:27:22+00:00

This doctoral thesis examines how a constitutional court should exercise its power under the rule of law. Therefore, in a first part, the idea of “rule of law” is analysed. What does this concept mean and what does it demand? On the basis of an analysis of the literature and of the law practice, a non-legalististic European rule of law concept can be defined. In the second part is then examined which requirements the rule of law demands concerning the competences and establishment of a constitut[...]

Matal v. Tam -A Victory for The Slants , a Touchdown for the Redskins , but an Ambiguous Journey for the First Amendment and Trademark Law

Since 1946, Section 2(a) of the Lanham Act, the law governing trademarks, prohibited the registration of trademarks deemed "immoral, deceptive, or scandalous; " or those which may "disparage" individuals. This provision was the subject of a challenge by an Asian-American dance-rock band named "The Slants" after the trademark examiner refused to register the mark because it was deemed "disparaging" to Asians. Tam, a member of the group, challenged the decision, primarily on First Amendment ground[...]

Musharraf on Trial: A Preliminary Critique of the Law of High Treason

2026-02-13T04:08:05+00:00

The normative relationship between a coup d’état and high treason has hardly ever been thoroughly debated in Pakistan. Now that Musharraf’s trial of high treason is underway, it seems to be an opportune time for such a debate. The Supreme Court is expected to take the lead role in the unfolding of the debate.Already in the Sindh Bar Association (2009) the court has played part of the role by making some preliminary comments. One of the major comments was that Musharraf’s purported coup of 2007 h[...]

CONSTITUTIONALISM AT COMMON LAW: THE RULE OF LAW AND JUDICIAL REVIEW

2026-02-13T01:05:25+00:00

Abstract UK public law is often viewed as a sophisticated power struggle between rival institutions, an approach encouraged by the assumption that the law is ultimately dependent on such contingencies as the existence of an official consensus about its sources. From that perspective, legal judgments should be read as strategic moves within the political power-game. We can make better sense of public law if, instead, we interpret it as the articulation and enforcement of standards of legitimate g[...]

How the Supreme Court’s Inconsistent Approach to Granting Emergency Relief Will Exacerbate, Rather Than Mitigate the Disruption Its Emergency Stay Policy Is Supposed to Address

2026-02-13T00:36:24+00:00

The federal government has used the Supreme Court’s emergency or “shadow” docket to great effect this past year, securing stay after stay of lower court rulings that had blocked many of the President’s executive orders. But the Court’s rulings have come, almost invariably, without any explanation of its reasoning. And its opaque and uneven rulings have also come at a potential cost to the Court’s credibility. This Article illustrates the uneven nature of the Court’s rulings by contrasting two li[...]

Children’s Rights In Hungary in Early Childhood Education and Care

Hungary was one of the first countries to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. This commitment is enshrined into the Constitutional Act LXIV of 1991. Children’s rights can be found most comprehensively in the Act XXXI. of 1997 on Child Protection and Social Services Administration. This chapter outlines how children’s rights prevail in kindergarten practice in the Hungarian context. First, the understanding of children’s rights is addressed in view of policy and legis[...]

Calling the Judiciary to Account for the Past: Transitional Justice and Judicial Accountability in Nigeria

Institutional and individual accountability is an important feature of societies in transition from conflict or authoritarian rule. The imperative of accountability has both normative and transformational underpinnings in the context of restoration of the rule of law and democracy. This article argues a case for extending the purview of truth‐telling processes to the judiciary in postauthoritarian contexts. The driving force behind the inquiry is the proposition that the judiciary as the third a[...]

This chapter advances the claim that, notwithstanding the important instrumental element to the Nazi regime’s use of law, there is an a priori theoretical question to address about the nature of the concept of instrumentalism and the concept of “law” when confronting Nazi law. It examines analyses of Nazi rule by Franz Neumann, Lon Fuller, Kristen Rundle and others to argue that the concept of pure instrumentalism—cynical manipulation of law for oppressive purposes—and of law—as the rule of law [...]

Her study brings forward the mechanisms that structured relations within the court, and most importantly, also with individuals, repre[...]

The Obligation to Establish and Uphold Judicial Independence under Article 19(1) TEU

This article explores the obligation of Member States, under Article 19(1) TEU, to uphold the judicial independence of all national courts who ‘may’ rule on Union law. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) first set out this obligation in their seminal ruling in Associação Sindical dos Juízes Portugueses and has since developed an extensive case-law. This article explores and discusses that case-law with the purpose of setting out, in a general manner, the key obligations Member States have under [...]

Lower Instance National Courts and Tribunals in Member States and Their Judicial Dialogue with the Court of Justice of the European Union
