As a result of European externalization of the politics of migration, Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries like Morocco are increasingly co-opted to deter asylum-seekers and other migrants. These latter, criminalized and labelled as ‘illegal’, are prevented from reaching a Europe whose economy nevertheless partially relies on the precarious and low-cost labour of sans-papiers. As Morocco shifts from a country of mainly emigration to also a country of ‘transit’ and immigration, thousands of Sub- Saharan migrants find themselves ‘stranded’, unable to go further, return or gain a meaningful legal status in Morocco. The research focuses on the two poor and densely populated neighbourhoods of Douar Hajja and Maadid, often called after the larger, adjacent neighbourhood Taqaddoum (‘progress’ in Arabic). Reputed to be violent and dangerous, they host a visible, (im)mobile population of irregular, sub-Saharan migrants struggling to cope with everyday life and (re)considering their uncertain migratory journeys. This research engages with recent critical debates in anthropology over ‘mobility’ and ‘illegalization’ to examine how ‘irregular’ sub-Saharan migrants cope with violent abuses and attempt to exert control over their lives in a Moroccan marginal neighbourhood. Exploring migrants’ imagination and hope, it focuses particularly on migrants’ circumscribed agency as well as emerging social relationships and political participation. Rather than adding to the profuse production of migration studies concepts, the thesis contends that migrants’ own articulations of notions such as ‘adventure’ and ‘objective’ offer an analytical tool to overcome some of the pitfalls of other concepts (e.g. transit, imagined community) which do not completely succeed in accounting for migrants’ experiences; their own ambiguities and limits are useful in uncovering some of the dilemmas faced by migrants in Morocco.

Criminal defences in Czech and Irish criminal law This thesis deals with the analysis of individual elements of criminal defences under the Czech and Irish criminal legal statutes with respect to the conclusions, which are therefrom drawn in theory and practice. The aim of this thesis is to render an overview concerning the distinctions and similarities in understanding, importance and operating of the defences in different law systems, rather than to present an exhaustive commentary on all legal institutes which exclude illegality and as such come into mind. Regarding the fact that Czech and Irish systems of law are subsumed under different legal systems, particular institutes of criminal defences cannot be based on the same rules, principles and theoretical grounds. It shall be noted, that while Czech criminal law is mainly to be found in a single piece of legislation known as the Criminal Law Act, Irish criminal law on the other hand not only has a separate statutory legislation, but also mainly depends on common law. The subject has been processed under consideration of the present-day legal regulation, whereas particular legal institutes are structured in compliance with the structure of the Czech Criminal Law Act. The topics of origin and development of defences has intentionally not been...

Thesis (M.A. (Political & International Studies)) - Rhodes University, 2009. / Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree in Political Studies.

In this thesis, I analyse how the rights of undocumented migrants are understood and represented by different actors, such as politicians, public sector representatives, and Finnish scholars, in Finnish newspapers between 2015-2019. I conduct an argumentation analysis of secondary source news articles, drawing on a theoretical framework of Differentiation Theory and Social Constructivist Approach. This study identifies some key factors, which have contributed to the construction of an unclear understanding of undocumented migrants' rights. My results show that the identified factors have inter alia, led to significant municipal differences in the provision of rights. I argue that due to various factors, the understanding and representation of the rights of undocumented migrants differ widely, thus creating ambiguity to the overall understanding. The findings contribute to earlier research made on the rights of undocumented migrants in Finland as it examines how the rights are understood and represented and could potentially be employed both in policy development and understanding the concept itself.

Civilinė teisė jau nuo pat šios teisės šakos atsiradimo Senovės Romoje priskiriama privatinės teisės sričiai, tačiau tai nereiškia, jog valstybė civilinių teisinių santykių dalyviams negali daryti įtakos. Vienas būdų tam yra teisinis reguliavimas imperatyviomis teisės normomis. Toks reguliavimas gali apriboti civilinės apyvartos subjektams galimybę sudaryti jų norimus sandorius, jeigu šie prieštarauja viešajam interesui. Imperatyvią teisės normą identifikuoti nėra taip paprasta, kaip gali pasirodyti – ją vertinant reikia atsižvelgti ne tik į gramatinę jos išraišką, bet ir į tikslus bei uždavinius, objektą ir interesą, kurį ta teisės norma gina, taip pat tos teisės normos sisteminius ryšius su kitomis normomis. Tik nustačius, kad tam tikra teisės norma yra imperatyvi, reikia išsiaiškinti, ar konkretus sandoris sudarytas pažeidžiant šioje normoje įtvirtintą įsakmų reikalavimą arba draudimą ir ar šio pažeidimas lemia būtent sandorio negaliojimą. Lietuvos ir užsienio teisės doktrinoje bei teismų praktikoje pripažįstama, kad sandorių negaliojimo instituto paskirtis – siekti, kad civiliniuose santykiuose būtų užtikrintas teisėtumas, be to įstatymų leidėjas siekia užtikrinti sandorių ir jų pagrindu susiklosčiusių civilinių teisinių santykių stabilumą, apginti civilinių teisinių santykių subjektų teises, įgytas sandorių pagrindu. Šiuos abu tikslus praktikoje suderinti neretai tampa sudėtinga, todėl kyla klausimas, kaip rasti šių įstatymų ginamų vertybių balansą? Be to, minėtus...

But it does not mean that the state can not affect the participants of civil legal relationship. One way to do so is by legal regulation using mandatory rules. Such regulation may restrict ability for entities of civil circulation to create their desired agreements, if they are contrary to the public interest. It is not as easy as it seems to identify mandatory rule – to assess legal norm it is necessary to consider not only grammatical expression, but also goals, tasks, object and interests protected by the legal norm, as well as its systematic connections with other legal norms. After finding that a certain legal rule is imperative, it is necessary to examine if a particular agreement was made in violation of prescriptive requirement or prohibition stated by this mandatory rule and whether consequence of this is the invalidity of the agreement. Legal doctrine and case law in Lithuania and foreign countries recognizes that the purpose of this ground of illegality is to ensure legitimacy in civil relations, in addition to that, it ensures stability of civil circulation. It often becomes difficult to reconcile both of these goals in practice, and the question is how to find the balance between these values protected by law? In addition, these legal values are also protected by other grounds of illegality of agreements, so before choosing the right one, it is worth to... [to full text]
