The Independent International Commission of Inquiry in the Syrian Arab Republic : AN EVALUATION OF THE COMMISSION‟S EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICACY IN SYRIASedigh, Sanaz January 2013 (has links)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness1 of the work done by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry (CoI) in the Syrian Arab Republic. This study strives to evaluate how well the commission succeeded in pursuing its mandate as stated, in addition to, evaluating how well the work of the commission in Syria was perceived to have been fulfilled by the people affected and involved. This study applies a qualitative approach. In order to obtain more in depth information of the commission‟s work the study combines interviews with a number of stakeholders, a literature study, in addition to, the author‟s own acquired experience from the United Nations. This study reveals that the main reason for the unwillingness of Syria to cooperate with the commission was due to the fact that the people, as well as, the government of Syria perceive the United Nations to be biased and to have lost the humanitarian aspect. The Col Syria overall fulfilled their mandate and it was performed as efficiently as could be given the constraints it faced. Yet, the work of the UN and the UN mandated missions are not perceived to be effective or satisfactory. The UN branches are perceived to be too politically affected and no longer prioritize the people of a country.

Die Erika Theron-Kommissie, 1973-1976 : n historiese studieBarnard, J. M. M. (Jolene) 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the early 1970s the National Party government under B.l Vorster experienced serious
problems due to its policy on the Coloured population. Issues concerning the mutual
relations between the population groups came strongly to the fore and the government's
policy of separate development was subject to widespread and severe criticism.
The period 1970-1974 is generally regarded as a time of change in South Afiica due to
international and foreign pressures. South Afiica's position in the international community
deteriorated dramatically and attitudes towards the Republic became increasingly hostile in
the rest of the world. Furthermore, the Vorster government was confronted with two
opposing schools of thought within the party itself, the so-called verligtes and the
verkramptes. During the 1970s the political decision-making processes became entangled
in a continuous struggle between the enlightened wing of the National Party, the so-called
Cape Liberals, and a more conservative element, the verkramptes of the Transvaal. Race
relations issues and the government's Coloured policy in particular were often the source
of contention.
In March 1973 Vorster appointed a Commission of Enquiry into Matters Relating to the
Coloured Population Group. It was chaired by prof Erika Theron, formerly professor in
Social Work at the University of Stellenbosch. The Theron Commission, as it became
known generally, consisted of twenty members, six of whom were Coloureds. The
Commission had to investigate the following: the progress made by the Coloured
population group since 1960 in the social, economic and constitutional spheres as well as
in the fields of local management, culture and sport; constraining factors in the various
fields that could be identified as sources of contention; and any other related matters.
The Theron Commission's report was tabled in parliament three years later on 18 June 1976. The Soweto riots that broke out two days before, however, forced news of the
report out of the newspapers and caused its influence to be largely dissipated. The Theron
report contained a number of recommendations that were directly in conflict with the
government's apartheid policy and were hence not acceptable to the government.
Consequently, the government - by way of an interim memorandum and a later white
paper - rejected those recommendations that affected the core of its apartheid policy. The
recommendations included the repeal of the Mixed Marriages Act (Act 55 of 1949) and
Section 16 of the Immorality Act (Act 23 of 1957), two of the cornerstones of the policy
of apartheid. Recommendation No. 178, in which the commission recommended direct
representation for Coloureds at the various levels of government, was also rejected by the
government. The potential influence of the Theron Commission's report to influence
change was thus firmly nipped in the bud.
The government's reaction caused bitter disappointment among the Coloured population
as well as enlightened Whites and at the same time fuelled the conflict between the
verligtes and the verkramptes. It also ensured intensified criticism from the opposition
parties, especially the United Party.
Yet the recommendations of the Theron Commision's report played a prominent role in
the late 1970s and early 1980s, when the wheels of political change began to tum, and let
to the tricameral parliamentary system of 1984 in which the Coloured population group
was also represented. The Arbeidersparty of South Africa (APSA) - Ministers' Council,
which was in control of the House of Representatives from 1984 to 1992, consistently
endeavoured to negotiate a better social, economic and constitutional position for the
Coloured population on the basis of the Theron Commission's report. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die vroeë sewentigerjare van die twintigste eeu het die Nasionale Party-regering, onder
die bewind van BJ. Vorster, ernstige probleme ten opsigte van sy Kleurlingbeleid
ondervind. Probleme rondom die bevolkingsverhoudingsvraagstuk het sterk op die
voorgrond getree en die regering se beleid van afsonderlike ontwikkeling aan
wydverspreide en hewige kritiek onderwerp.
Die tydperk 1970-1974 word allerweë deur kritici beskou as 'n tydperk van verandering in
Suid-Afrika vanweë toenemende binne- en buitelandse druk. Suid-Afrika se posisie binne
die internasionale gemeenskap het drasties verswak en die buiteland het 'n vyandige
gesindheid jeens die Republiek geopenbaar. Daarbenewens het die Vorster-regering
gebuk gegaan onder twee botsende denkrigtings binne die partygeledere, die sogenaamde
verligtes en die verkramptes. Die politieke besluitnemingsprosesse van die sewentigerjare
was vasgevang tussen die verligte vleuel van die Nasionale Party, die sogenaamde Cape
Liberals, en 'n meer konserwatiewe element, die verkramptes van Transvaal tussen wie
daar 'n voortdurende stryd gewoed het. Die bevolkingsverhoudingsvraagstuk en die
regering se Kleurlingbeleid was gereeld in die spervuur.
In Maart 1973 het Vorster 'n Kommissie van Ondersoek na Aangeleenthede rakende die
Kleurlingbevolkingsgroep aangestel. Die voorsitter was prof Erika Theron, voormalige
hoogleraar in Maatskaplike Werk aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch. Die Theronkommissie,
soos dit algemeen bekend sou staan, is saamgestel uit twintig lede waaronder
ses Kleurlinge. Die kommissie moes ondersoek instel na die volgende: die vordering van
die Kleurlingbevolkingsgroep sedert 1960 op maatskaplike, ekonomiese en staatkundige
gebied asook op die terreine van plaaslike bestuur, kultuur en sport; stremmende faktore
op die verskillende terreine wat as knelpunte geïdentifiseer kon word; en enige verdere
verwante sake. Die Theron-verslag is drie jaar later op 18 Junie 1976 in die parlement ter tafel gelê. Die
Soweto-onluste wat twee dae tevore uitgebreek het, het egter die verslag van die
persblaaie verdring en die invloed daarvan grootliks verlore laat gaan. Die Theron-verslag
het aanbevelings bevat wat lynreg in stryd was met die apartheidsbeleid en wat nie vir die
regering aanneemlik was nie. Gevolglik het die regering by wyse van 'n tussentydse
memorandum en 'n latere witskrif daardie aanbevelings wat die kern van sy
apartheidsbeleid aangetas het, afgekeur. Onder die aanbevelings was die herroeping van
die Wet op die Verbod van Gemengde Huwelike (Wet No. 55 van 1949) en Artikel 16 van
die Ontugwet (Wet No. 23 van 1957), twee van die hoekstene van die apartheidsbeleid.
Aanbeveling No. 178, waarin die kommissie regstreekse verteenwoordiging vir die
Kleurlinge op die verskillende owerheidsvlakke en in besluitnemingsprosesse aanbeveel
het, is ook deur die regering afgekeur. Sodoende is die Theron-verslag se potensiële
invloed tot verandering in die kiem gesmoor.
Die regering se reaksie het bittere teleurstelling onder die Kleurlinge en die verligte
blankes veroorsaak en terselfdertyd die fel stryd tussen die verligtes en die verkramptes
aangewakker. Dit het ook toenemende kritiek komende van die opposisiepartye, veral die
Verenigde Party, op die regering verseker.
Die aanbevelings van die Theron-verslag het nietemin 'n prominente rol gespeel in die laat
sewentigerjare en vroeë tagtigerjare toe die wiel van politieke veranderinge begin draai het
en uitgeloop het op die Driekamerparlementstelsel van 1984 waarbinne die Kleurlinge ook
verteenwoordig was. Die Arbeidersparty van Suid-Afrika (APSA) - Ministersraad wat
sedert 1984 tot 1992 in beheer van die Raad van Verteenwoordigers binne die
Driekamerparlement was, het hom voortdurend beywer om aan die hand van die Theronverslag,
'n beter sosiale, ekonomiese en staatkundige posisie vir die Kleurlinge te beding.

An analysis and exposition of the definition of property for estate duty purposes with reference to a future capital transfer tax.Delport, Mariana 13 August 2012 (has links)
M.Comm. / The first objective of this dissertation is to establish whether wealth or capital taxes are relevant to South Africa. If the answer is yes, the further objective is to identify the various forms of capital and wealth taxes in order to determine which form of wealth or capital tax would be suitable in South Africa in the future (refer chapter 2). The second objective, once the form of capital tax for a future South Africa is identified, is to determine which assets or, in other words, which property will be subjected to such a tax (chapters 3-5). The third objective is to analyse the recommendations contained in the fourth interim report of the Katz Commission of Inquiry into certain 3 aspects of the tax structure of South Africa (hereafter, referred to as the Katz Commission) and to examine the effect of these recommendations on the inclusion of property in the deceased's estate which will be subjected to such a tax (chapter 5). The fourth objective is to provide the reader with two diagrams which will enable such person to determine: whether a deceased person's estate will be subject to estate duty in terms of the current Act 45 of 1955, as amended (hereafter, referred to as the Act); and what an estate consists of (chapter 6). The fifth objective is to provide the reader with a comprehensive alphabetical property checklist to enable such person to determine whether a specific asset should be included in the estate of a deceased person (chapter 6).

Tainted blood, tainted knowledge : contesting scientific evidence at the Krever InquiryPaterson, Timothy Murray 05 1900 (has links)
In this dissertation I provide an ethnographic account of the testimony of four expert
witnesses who appeared before the Commission of Inquiry on the Blood System in Canada (the
Krever Inquiry) as they described the production of scientific knowledge and the role that
knowledge played in the struggle to protect the blood supply from being contaminated by AIDS
during the early 1980's. In doing so, I bring together the experts' testimony with contemporary
documents gathered by the Commission and interviews I conducted with participants in the
proceedings. Using insights drawn from the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, and history,
I explore what the witnesses' accounts reveal about their understandings of their professional
world and its relationships with other worlds, especially that of public health policy making.
The Krever Inquiry offered a valuable opportunity for carrying out such an investigation. It
provided a site where science was not only used, it was talked about. The Inquiry invited those
involved in the blood system in the early 1980's to reflect upon and explain the beliefs and
actions which surrounded one of the worst public health disasters in Canadian history and it
asked the witnesses how similar catastrophes could be avoided in the future.
As a result, many of the issues addressed at the hearings reflect matters of current concern in
public health and medicine. The Inquiry addressed difficult issues surrounding the nature of
scientific knowledge and its application in health decision-making and policy formulation. This
study, therefore, may be of interest to those dealing with the problems surrounding uncertainty
and the management of public health crises. It may also be of interest to those dealing with
conflicts rising out of the intersection of different worlds of experience and practice, as well as to
those involved in the current initiatives to both make medical and public health institutions more
proactive, and inclusive, and public health decision-making more transparent.

The King Commission live : an examination of the legal and ethical considerations involved in broadcasts of judicial proceedingsBrand, Robert Christian 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The controversy around the broadcasting of court proceedings has reigned in the United
States since the 1950s, reaching a peak with the trial of O.J. Simpson, widely interpreted
as an example of the destructive effect of a "media circus" on the administration of
justice. In many other U.S. courtrooms, however, television and radio journalists do their
work unobtrusively, professionally and to the benefit of their viewers and listeners. The
King Commission of Inquiry into allegations of match-fixing in cricket gave South Africa
its first experience of television and radio coverage of judicial proceedings, and lay the
basis for a more liberal approach to electronic coverage of courts. The Constitution
protects freedom of expression, including the freedom to receive and impart information.
This has been interpreted by the High Court as conferring on radio journalists the
freedom to record and broadcast the King Commission's proceedings. It is argued in this
study that the High Court's reasoning could be applied with equal force to television, and
to coverage of the courts. It is suggested a trial period of electronic coverage of courts,
under clear guidelines for journalists and legal practitioners, may provide greater clarity
on the desirability of allowing electronic coverage of courts on a permanent basis. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die netelige vraagstuk rondom die uitsaai van hofverrigtinge het alreeds in the
vyftigerjare van die vorige eeu in die Verenigde State ontstaan. Die vervolging van O.J.
Simpson was 'n hoogtepunt in die debat. Dié saak word gereeld voorgehou as 'n
voorbeeld van die nadelige effek wat 'n "mediasirkus" op die regsproses kan uitoefen.
Maar in baie ander Amerikaanse howe doen radio- en televisiejoernaliste hulle werk
sonder steurnis, professioneel, en ten voordeel van hul luisteraars and kykers. The
Kingkommissie van Ondersoek na beweringe van oneerlikheid in krieket was Suid-Afrika
se eerste ervaring van elektroniese dekking van 'n regterlike proses, and kan moontlik
die basis vorm vir 'n meer liberale benadering tot elektroniese dekking van howe. Die
Grondwet waarborg vryheid van uitdrukking, insluitende die vryheid om inligting uit te
stuur en te ontvang. Die Hooggeregshof het onlangs beslis hierdie vryheid beteken
radiojoernaliste mag die verrigtinge van die Kingkommissie opneem en uitsaai. In hierdie
studie word geargumenteer dat die Hooggeregshof se beslissing ook van toepassing
kan wees op televisie, en op hofverrigtinge. Daar word voor die hand gedoen dat Suid-
Afrikaanse howe vir 'n proeftydperk elekroniese dekking van hofverrigtinge toelaat, met
streng reëls vir joernaliste en regspraktisyns. So 'n proefneming kan dalk groter
duidelikheid verskaf oor die voor- en nadele van televisie- en radiodekking van howe op
'n permanente basis.
