This thesis examines the intersection between authors' moral rights and conflict-of-laws. The research question has been triggered by two important, interlinked factors. The first is that the currently applicable choice-of-law rules to moral rights are the same as those applicable to copyright. The second concerns the fact that moral rights are different from copyright - both in their nature and in the interest they aim to protect. Since these two factors coincide, it is questionable whether it ought to be the case that moral rights are subjected to the same choice-of-law rules as are applicable to copyright. The thesis therefore aims to discover whether the currently applicable choice-oflaw rules available in the context of moral rights are suitable for achieving the goals and objectives of conflict-of-laws. In the course of this thesis, I evaluate the potential validity of detaching moral rights from copyright in conflict-oflaws and instead attaching it to the characterization model of general personality rights. The research question is mainly addressed from the perspective of Rome I and Rome II Regulations. However, as there is no EU harmonization concerning general personality rights in conflict-of-laws, the examination will be directed towards France and England as examples of civil and common law traditions. Moreover, reference will also be made to CLIP and ALI principles by reason of comparison.

Thesis (LLM.) -- University of Limpopo, 2018 / The aim of this study is to posit the theory that it will be more beneficial to, rather use a private company instead of a Communal Property Association (CPA) to promote and develop the property interests of previous disadvantaged rural communities. Maladministration, poor governance, misappropriation of funds and property together with diverging interests give rise to disputes and internal conflict. The research will include a literature study of relevant textbooks, case law, law journals, legislation and discussion documents. Constitutional development in property law opened the door for a different approach in the application of property rights and rights relating to property, which in return precedes to a better understanding of communal rights and the enforcement of traditional values in a democratic society. Despite these constitutional developments, the maladministration, poor governance and misappropriation of funds and property by Communal Property Association executive committees caused discontent amongst community members, necessitating the examining of the use of a private company to promote and develop the property interests of rural communities, as an alternative institution to enhance democracy and the protection of human rights in communal context. The development of, either proper legislation to ensure compliance with the principles of good governance, accountability and transparency or the use of an alternative institution, which is already required by law to comply with the said principles, to manage the affairs of a Communal Property Association, should resolve these problems. The study is primarily a critical analysis and comparative study on the relevant provisions of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 in relation to the provisions of the Communal Property Associations Act 28 of 1996 to establish whether the use of a private company can resolve the problems currently experienced by Communal Property Associations.

The aim of the diploma thesis is to present the legal institute of the easements in its complexity placing emphasis on the current legal regulation of this institute in the Czech Civil Code. The diploma thesis deals with the most important practical issues inherently linked to this legal institute with reference to the relevant judicial decisions and suggested solutions of the mentioned problems are presented. The aim of the diploma thesis is also to present the institute of the easements as the institute responsive to the current social conditions undoubtedly reflected in the legal regulation of the institute of the easements. The first chapter of the diploma thesis is devoted to the theoretical determination of the concept of the easements. In the second chapter the most important historical periods related to the institute of the easements are presented, from the ancient era to the present. The most important ancient principles linked to the institute of the easements are discussed and their importance for the contemporary legal regulation is emphasized. Subsequently, the diploma thesis also deals with the origination of the concept of the easements and the conceptual change in the current Czech Civil Code consisting in distinguishing the easements from the real burdens. The descriptions of the...

This thesis explores the intersection of freedom of expression (as protected in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter)) and copyright in Canada. In this thesis, I argue that both lower Canadian courts and the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) should reconsider their approaches to this intersection. Lower Canadian courts have consistently rejected arguments that provisions of Canada's Copyright Act unjustifiably infringe the Charter right to freedom of expression. The SCC, on the other hand, has consistently interpreted provisions of the Copyright Act in such a manner as to result in expanded protection for the expression interests of non-copyright owning parties. It has done so not by relying explicitly on the Charter right to freedom of expression, but through a process of statutory interpretation. I argue that both approaches merit reconsideration. Specifically, I argue that the approaches adopted by lower Canadian courts to the intersection of the Charter right to freedom of expression and copyright are based on now-invalidated approaches to both copyright and to freedom of expression, and are thus themselves invalid; that to the extent to which the SCC's approach to this intersection assumes that the Charter right to freedom of expression can be protected, in the context of copyright, through statutory interpretation alone, that it fails to adequately protect the Charter right to freedom of expression; that other leading national courts from which the SCC has previously sought assistance have explicitly engaged with this intersection, and that the SCC should follow suit; and that the SCC's own copyright and freedom of expression jurisprudence suggests that provisions of the Copyright Act may unjustifiably infringe the Charter right to freedom of expression. These four arguments, taken together, suggest that the time is ripe for reconsideration of this intersection.

The implementation of nature conservation as a land use form is characterized by persistent conflicts and low acceptance by landowners and other users of the considered land area. The thesis applies an economic approach that is understood as the consideration of opportunities and problems of social interaction that aims at mutual benefits (Homann 2002: 63; Homann & Suchanek 2005: 4). Nature conservation is treated as a normal economic good that is demanded and supplied. Human action and human choices regarding the good "nature conservation" can be explained and predicted when including the structure of the exchange and transfer of property rights for nature conservation. The property rights perspective on nature conservation demonstrates an unambiguous understanding of the rights individuals are willing to abandon for demanding and supplying nature conservation. The successful implementation of different aims and strategies of nature conservation requires different property rights. The loss of the right to choose other alternatives implies subjective costs (Knight 1924: 592f.; Buchanan 1981: 14) that cannot be reduced to pecuniary units and landowners. This approach broadens the understanding of the term "costs" related to nature conservation. Different organizational and institutional arrangements can be found in practical nature conservation. Both, the demand for and the supply of nature conservation is organized either individually or collectively. Property rights for the good “nature conservation” are either exchanged voluntarily or involuntarily by applying takings and eminent domain. The application of the methodological individualism, the homo economicus and microeconomic theory, allows to elaborate a simple model of individual demand and supply of one property right that is allocated to nature conservation. This model excludes transaction costs, considers only one normal economic good - “nature conservation”. The analysis demonstrates the outcomes, which can be expected when aggregating these individual demand and supply curves within two different organizations. A vertical aggregation represents the process of choice-making within politics in a direct democracy. A horizontal aggregation illustrates the determination of choices within a market. The analysis includes all possible institutional and organizational arrangements. The results reveal the quantity and quality of implemented nature conservation and the expected relation between available and required budgets. It is highlighted, how susceptible collective outcomes are to changing expenditure and revenue sharing systems and voting rules. When making collective choices, only one revenue and expenditure sharing system exists that allows a unanimously chosen quantity of nature conservation. These specific sharing systems are different when considering different collectives. Only voluntary exchanges ensure mutual benefits and a balanced budget. I can show that the institution of takings increases conflicts and reduce the acceptance for implementing nature conservation. A preference order of the considered institutional arrangements is revealed. The majority of the analyzed arrangements allows unambiguous expectations on the quantity and quality of the implemented nature conservation. The discussion justifies the chosen economic approach for examining problems of social interaction within nature conservation. Furthermore, the application of the elaborated model to representative democratic systems is discussed. The thesis closes with examples of the current and expected future development of practical nature conservation. These cases are discussed in the light of the elaborated model and the analysis' results. The present thesis offers an explanation of past and present processes and outcomes in nature conservation and a support for making expectations on the constellation of actors and their acceptance regarding future strategies in practical nature conservation. / Die Umsetzung von Naturschutz als Landnutzungsform ist durch beständige Konflikte und niedrige Akzeptanz durch Landeigentümer und andere Landnutzer gekennzeichnet. Die Arbeit verwendet einen ökonomischen Ansatz. Sie betrachtet Möglichkeiten und Probleme sozialer Interaktion, die auf gegenseitigen Nutzen abzielt (Homann 2002: 63; Homann & Suchanek 2005: 4). Naturschutz wird als normales ökonomisches Gut betrachtet. Dieses wird durch interagierende Individuen angeboten und nachgefragt. Das individuelle Handeln und Entscheiden in Bezug auf "Naturschutz" kann durch das Einbeziehen von Verfügungsrechten, welche bei dem Tausch ausgetauscht und übertragen werden, beschrieben und vorhergesagt werden. Die verfügungsrechtliche Betrachtung von Naturschutz ermöglicht ein eindeutiges Verständnis auf jene Rechte, auf die Individuen verzichten würden, um Naturschutz nachzufragen und anzubieten. Die erfolgreiche Umsetzung der unterschiedlichen Naturschutzziele und –strategien erfordert ein Eigentum an unterschiedlichen Verfügungsrechten. Der Verlust des Rechtes, eine Alternative zu wählen, verursacht subjektive Kosten (Knight 1924: 592f.; Buchanan 1981: 14), welche nicht auf Geldeinheiten und nicht auf Landeigentümer begrenzt werden können. Dieser Ansatz erweitert das Verständnis von Kosten in Bezug auf Naturschutz. Unterschiedliche organisatorische und institutionelle Arrangements sind im praktischen Naturschutz zu finden. Nachfrage und Angebot können jeweils individuell oder kollektiv organisiert sein. Verfügungsrechte für das Gut „Naturschutz“ werden entweder freiwillig oder erzwungen - durch Konfiskation und Enteignung getauscht. Die Anwendung des methodologischen Individualismus, des Konzeptes des Homo Economicus und mikroökonomischer Theorie, erlaubt die Entwicklung eines simplen Modells des individuellen Angebots und der individuellen Nachfrage nach Verfügungsrechten für Naturschutz. Dieses Modell schließt Transaktionskosten aus und betrachtet ausschließlich ein normales ökonomisches Gut – Naturschutz. Die Analyse zeigt die zu erwartenden Ergebnisse auf, wenn die individuelle Nachfrage und das individuelle Angebot durch zwei unterschiedliche Organisationen aggregiert werden. Eine vertikale Aggregation verdeutlicht eine politische Wahlhandlung innerhalb einer direkten Demokratie. Eine horizontale Aggregation repräsentiert die Wahl innerhalb eines Marktes. Die Analyse beinhaltet alle Kombinationen der unterschiedlichen institutionellen und organisatorischen Arrangements für die Bereitstellung des Gutes "Naturschutz". Die Ergebnisse dieser Analyse zeigen (1) die zu erwartende Quantität und Qualität des durchgeführten Naturschutzes und (2) das zu erwartende Verhältnis zwischen dem verfügbaren und dem notwendigen Budget auf. Zusätzlich wird die Empfindlichkeit kollektiver Entscheidungsergebnisse gegenüber sich verändernden Abstimmungsregeln und Teilungsregeln von Ausgaben und Einnahmen herausgearbeitet. Bei kollektiven Wahlhandlungen existiert nur jeweils eine Ausgaben- und Einnahmenteilung, die eine einstimmige Wahl einer Menge von Naturschutz ermöglicht. Diese Teilungsregel variiert zwischen unterschiedlichen Kollektiven. Ausschließlich ein freiwilliger Tausch sichert gegenseitige Vorteile und ein ausgeglichenes Budget. Weiterhin zeige ich auf, dass die Institution Konfiskation die Konflikte mit Landnutzern erhöht und deren Akzeptanz für die Umsetzung von Naturschutz reduziert. Eine Präferenzordnung für die verschiedenen Institutionen wird erarbeitet. Der Großteil der analysierten institutionellen und organisatorischen Arrangements erlaubt eindeutige Aussagen über die Quantität und Qualität des praktizierten Naturschutzes. Die Diskussion begründet die gewählte ökonomische Methode zur Untersuchung von Interaktionsproblemen des Naturschutzes. Weiterhin wird die Anwendbarkeit des erarbeiteten Modells für repräsentative Demokratien erörtert. Die Arbeit schließt mit Beispielen der aktuellen und künftig zu erwartenden praktischen Naturschutzarbeit. Diese Beispiele werden anhand des Modells und der Analyseergebnisse diskutiert. Die vorliegende Arbeit bietet ein Erklärungsmodell für vergangene und gegenwärtige Entwicklungen und Ergebnisse im praktischen Naturschutz. Sie stellt eine Unterstützung für die realistische Einschätzung von Akteurskonstellationen und deren Akzeptanz von zukünftigen Implementierungsansätzen von Naturschutz dar.

With the theoretical frame of reference marxist, it uses the category of the right to the city in order to problematize the process of urbanization that unfolds in the face of the establishment of capitalist mode of production in Brazil and its growing involvement with the generation and deepening of the housing deficit. For this purpose, it is used historical and descriptive method in order to review the option of brazilian state for public policies of housing finance. The method of approach in greater frequency employee is dialectical materialism, by allowing the inclusion of categories of geography and urban planning, as the housing issue, the urban crisis and socio-spatial segregation, the critical analysis of the “Programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida, making it possible also the contetion of the role of the state and the establishment of the inalienable character of private property. The text has been structurally divided int the three sections each having two parts. The first is the unfolding of the housing problem form the the formation of the capitalist mode of producion and recognition of the housing issue linked to the class struggle in Brazil. The second emphasize the theory of natural rights in Locke and points that the impact of Land Law (1850) on urban land privatization process in João Pessoal. Finally, in the third chapter, the impact of the “Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida” is analyzed, as well as, the preterit public housing policies, in confronting with the housing crisis. This is a social policy model that comes opting for inclusion through consumption, the conception of housing right as a deployment of property rights and including the right to the city simply as an individual right. / Diante da importância da luta pela moradia no cotidiano das pessoas, discute-se neste trabalho a relação entre a perpetuação do instituto da propriedade privada, a questão habitacional e o direito à cidade no Brasil a partir da análise das políticas públicas habitacionais iniciadas na Era Getulista e dos primeiros conjuntos habitacionais do Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida direcionados às camadas de baixa renda na cidade de João Pessoa. Tendo como referencial teórico a corrente marxista, utiliza-se da categoria do direito à cidade no intuito de problematizar o processo de urbanização que se desencadeia em face da constituição do modo de produção capitalista no Brasil e sua crescente associação à geração e o aprofundamento do déficit habitacional. Para tanto, é utilizado método histórico-descritivo no intuito de rediscutir a opção do Estado brasileiro por políticas públicas de financiamento da habitação. O método de abordagem em maior frequência empregado é o materialismo dialético, por permitir a inserção de categorias da geografia e do urbanismo, como a questão habitacional, a crise urbana e a segregação socioespacial, na análise crítica do Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida, tornando possível, ainda, a contenda acerca da função do Estado e o estabelecimento do caráter inalienável da propriedade privada. O texto está estruturalmente dividido em três capítulos cada um deles contendo duas partes. O primeiro consiste no desdobramento da problemática habitacional a partir da constituição do modo de produção capitalista e o reconhecimento da questão habitacional atrelado à luta de classes no Brasil. O segundo destaca a teorização dos direitos naturais em Locke e a aponta a repercussão da Lei de Terras (1850) no processo de privatização do solo urbano na capital paraibana. Por fim, no terceiro capítulo, é analisada a repercussão do Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida, assim como as políticas públicas habitacionais pretéritas, no enfrentamento à crise habitacional em João Pessoa. Trata-se de um modelo de política social que vem optando pela inclusão por meio do consumo, pela concepção de direito à moradia como um desdobramento do direito de propriedade e compreendendo o direito à cidade simplesmente como um direito individual.

O objetivo geral da pesquisa reside na análise das experiências históricas do Assentamento Normandia e do Acampamento na Fazenda Papagaio - ambos localizados na região Agreste do estado de Pernambuco -, nas quais procuramos identificar as determinações sociojurídicas que conduziram, na primeira, ao reconhecimento da função social da propriedade rural e, na segunda, ao impedimento à sua efetivação enquanto condição que possibilita a expansão da justiça social, ainda que nos marcos de uma sociedade capitalista. Nessa perspectiva, fizemos a opção metodológica pela pesquisa bibliográfica e documental com abordagem qualitativa. Inicialmente, dedicamo-nos ao estudo das principais obras dos autores clássicos do pensamento social brasileiro com a finalidade de compreender os fundamentos históricos da estrutura agrária do Brasil e os níveis elevados de concentração fundiária que a caracterizam. Em seguida, investigamos a regulamentação do conceito de função social da propriedade rural nas cartas magnas brasileiras e no plano jurídico infraconstitucional, bem como os principais debates travados a seu respeito. Construído o quadro teórico, pudemos desenvolver, com maior consistência, a última etapa da presente dissertação, na qual realizamos uma pesquisa documental com base nos processos administrativos e judiciais relativos a cada uma das citadas experiências. Ao final, a pesquisa nos permitiu concluir que o próprio texto constitucional sofre diferentes interpretações, podendo ser instrumentalizado para atender aos interesses da elite agrária brasileira. Assim, se, por um lado, a experiência do Assentamento Normandia revelou a inserção da dimensão social e política do conflito por terra no debate jurídico e o reconhecimento da função social da propriedade rural como instrumento que possibilita a efetivação de um conjunto de direitos fundamentais, por outro, a experiência do Acampamento Papagaio demonstrou a limitação do debate sobre a reforma agrária a uma discussão exclusivamente técnica relativa à (im)produtividade da terra, acabando por gerar uma leitura do dispositivo constitucional que regula a função social da propriedade rural funcional à reprodução da lógica segragacionista imposta pelo direito de propriedade em seu aspeto mais tradicional. / The social function of rural property, as related to rights, principle and guaranty stated in the Federal Constitution of 1988, forms the basis for the central concept of this master degree thesis and its approach had as basement the counter hegemonics version of human rights, here recognized as an instrument of transformation and overcoming in a radical and democratic way of conflicts for land in Brazil. The general aim of this search is the analyses of historic conflicts in Normandia settlement and encampment on Papagaio farm.- both located in rural area of the state of Pernambuco - where we sought to identify the social and juridical determinations that drove, in the first, to the acceptance of social function of rural property and second, to the obstruction to its execution while condition that enables the expansion of social justice, even though in the marks of a capitalist society. Based on these facts, we made the methodological choice of bibliographical and documentary with qualitative approach. Initially, we devoted to the study of the major works of classical authors of the social Brazilian thought with the objective to understand the historical basement of agrarian structure of Brazil and the high levels of landholding concentration that features it. Then, we explored the regulation of the concept of social function of rural property in Brazilian magna-letter and the infra constitutional judicial plan and also the main debates that happened regarded to it. Built the theorist chart, we developed with more consciousness the last stage of this present thesis, in which we got the direction to have a documental search based on judicial and administrative proceedings related to each of the mentioned experiments. Finally, the search let us to deduce that the constitutional text itself admits different interpretations, it can be exploited to attend the interests of Brazilian agrarian elite. So, if by one side the experiment of Normandia settlement revealed the insertion of social dimension and the political conflicts for land in judicial debate and the recognition of social function of rural property as an instrument that enables the execution of a set of fundamental rights, on the other side, the experiment of Papagaio encampment showed the restriction of debate about agrarian reform to an exclusive technical discussion related to the poorness of the land, leading to create a reading of the constitutional apparatus that regulates the social function of functional rural property to the reproduction of logical segregation imposed by the rights of property in its more traditional aspect.

Summaries in Afrikaans and English / Text in Afrikaans / Die eiendomsklousule soos vervat in Artikel 28(1) van die Grondwet waarborg regte in eiendom. Daar word na die tradisionele eiendomsparadigma verwys, asook die leemtes in die konsep. Die "new property"-konsep word vervolgens in oenskou geneem. Sowel die gemenereg as die inheemse reg word, met verwysing na die begrippe "regte" en "eiendom", behandel. Daarna volg 'n bespreking van die konsep "regte in eiendom", wat die inhoud en omvang van die konsep aandui. In 'n afsonderlike hoofstuk word regte in grand bespreek. Die vraag of 'n konstitusionele reg ten aansien van huisvesting bestaan, geniet oak aandag. Ten slotte word regsvergelykend te werk gegaan en na buitelandse regsbronne verwys wat moontlik in die toekoms 'n rol by die uitleg van die Grondwet kan speel. Daar word gepoog om aan te dui dat die Grondwet as geheel ge"interpreteer en toegepas behoort te word. Die korrekte interpretasie en toepassing van die Grondwet word van uiterste belang beskou ten einde aan die doel van die Grondwet te voldoen. / The property clause is contained in Section 28(1) of the Constitution, which guarantees rights in property. The tradisional property paradigm is referred to, as well as its deficiencies. Thereupon the "new property" concept is taken account of. The common law and the customary law are dealt with, with reference to the concepts "rights" and "property". Subsequently a discussion of the concept "rights in property" follows, denoting this concept's contents and extent. Thereupon rights in land is dealt with. A constitutional right to housing is also attended to. Finally a comparative overview is given with reference to foreign case law, which may in future play a role in the interpretation of the Constitution. Attempts are made to indicate that the Constitution should be interpreted and enforced as a whole. In its correct interpretation and enforcement it is of utmost importance to have due regard to the objects of the Constitution. / Constitutional, International & Indigenous Law / LL.M.

Thus we sought to demonstrate the impact on society at such negligence, given the various social differences existing in our country, which are constituted as fuel for the emergence of permanent land conflicts. In the content analysis was made substantially of the legal nature of the social function of property and effects arising from it, analyzing it in many ways and if there is a concern and debate about the issue or if there is prospect for a better use of idle properties. An analysis was made of the issue of the rational use of the property as much as the particular state, checking if the competent authorities are fulfilling their role, namely to seek to achieve social justice through rational distribution of land and assign the role social that it is intended. This publication also alternatives for a better policy on the institute, and used as research techniques, secondary sources, ie literary duly cited, and inductive and deductive methods to achieve a positive result and easy to understand this study. / O presente trabalho busca discutir o real significado da expressão função social da propriedade prevista na Constituição Federal, sobretudo levando-se em conta a postura do Estado, o qual exige do particular que dê uma destinação social à propriedade, inclusive sujeitando-o a perda do direito real que possui sobre o bem, caso não cumpra sua função social, porém, acaba por não cumprir o mesmo papel, deixando diversas terras de sua propriedade sem destinação específica. Desta forma buscou-se demonstrar o impacto causado na sociedade ante tal desídia, haja vista as diversas diferenças sociais existentes em nosso país, as quais se constituem como combustível para o surgimento de conflitos de terras permanentes. No conteúdo foi feita uma análise de forma substancial da natureza jurídica da função social da propriedade e os efeitos dela decorrentes analisando-a sob vários aspectos, se está havendo uma preocupação e um debate acerca do tema, ou, se existe perspectiva para um melhor aproveitamento das propriedades ociosas. Foi feita ainda uma análise da questão da utilização racional da propriedade, tanto pelo particular quanto pelo Estado, verificando se as autoridades competentes estão cumprindo seu papel, qual seja, o de buscar alcançar a justiça social através da distribuição racional da terra e atribuir a função social a que esta se destina. Apresentam-se ainda alternativas para uma melhor política a respeito do instituto tendo utilizado como técnicas de pesquisa, fontes secundárias, isto é, obras literárias oportunamente citadas, além de métodos dedutivos e indutivos para se alcançar um resultado positivo e de fácil compreensão do presente estudo.
