Because of its mandate and its enforcement powers, the ICC has been hailed as a major advance on the road towards individual accountability for the perpetration of the most heinous violations of human rights (international crimes) and thus as a major contribution to the prevention of such horrible crimes. However, with its limited resources in terms of human and financial means, the ICC will not be able to deal with all perpetrators of the crimes that come under its jurisdiction wherever such crimes are committed throughout the world. For this reason, in order to end impunity in the commission of international crimes, there will always be a need for combined efforts by the ICC and national courts. This reality is recognised by the Rome Statute which, in the preamble and article 1 of the Statute, provides that the jurisdiction of the ICC is “complementary” to national courts and that, therefore, States Parties retain the primary responsibility for the repression of international crimes. In legal literature, this is generally referred to as the “principle of complementarity” or the “complementarity regime of the Rome Statute”. In order to give effect to the complementarity principle of the Rome Statute, South Africa passed the Implementation of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court Act 27 of 2002 (hereafter the Implementation Act); which determines the modalities of prosecuting perpetrators of the crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in South African courts. The Implementation Act also provides that South African courts will have jurisdiction over these crimes not only when they are committed on South African territory but also when they are committed outside the Republic, thus empowering South African courts to exercise “universal jurisdiction” over these three international crimes. This thesis examines the extent to which South African courts, acting under the complementarity regime of the Rome Statute are, or are not, allowed to exercise universal jurisdiction over international crimes committed in foreign States. The study is based on two assumptions. First, it is assumed that since under the principle of complementarity South African courts are required to do the same job as the ICC, they should have the same powers as those States Parties gave to the ICC when they adopted the Rome Statute. Secondly, it is assumed that, although having the same mandate as the ICC in terms of the complementarity principle, South African courts are nonetheless domestic courts as opposed to the ICC which is an international court and that, accordingly, the international law principle of State sovereignty may impose limitations on their ability to exercise universal jurisdiction over international crimes committed in foreign States. In the light of the above assumptions, this study investigates three issues. Firstly, do South African courts have the same powers as the ICC has to disregard immunities of foreign States’ officials which, under international customary law, attach to their functions or status? Secondly, are South African courts entitled, as the ICC is, to disregard amnesties granted by foreign States, either in the process of national reconciliation or as means to shield the criminals from prosecution by the ICC? Finally, are South African courts entitled, as the ICC is, to retry a case which has already been tried in a foreign country but with the aim of shielding the accused from criminal responsibility or where, for example, the sentence imposed was too lenient in comparison with the gravity of the crime? / PhD (Law), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

This thesis examines the status of amnesties and the duty to prosecute gross and systematic human rights violations in international law. The thesis begins by distinguishing amnesty from other related concepts, such as impunity, pardon and statutes of limitations and so on. Unlike these related concepts, amnesty aims to address major social or political crises in society, such as to resolve an armed conflict, allow the return of political refugees or bring about peaceful political transition. Amnesty is linked to the duty to prosecute, because it is so often in direct conflict with international law norms and standards on the duty to prosecute and to compensate victims of human rights violations. Before the First World War, amnesty was a well-established customary practice. Even where a peace treaty was silent on the mater, amnesty was implied. Compensation was also part of the regime of peace treaties, but not followed as consistently as amnesty. This practice changed dramatically after the First and Second World Wars, because, in a break with the past, the victors did not consider themselves to be on the same level as the vanquished. This resulted in the abolition of the traditional practice of granting amnesty and the demand rather that those responsible for aggression be prosecuted and compelled to pay compensation, as was the case with Germany. Since 1948, with the adoption of the United Nations' Charter, and other international human rights treaties, the power of states to grant amnesty gradually became constrained by the obligation to prosecute perpetrators of gross human rights violations and to pay compensation to the victims of war crimes. Nevertheless, this phenomenon did not put an end to the practice of states granting amnesty for gross human rights violations. Internal armed conflicts during and after the end of the Cold War, with no victors and no vanquished, made amnesty an inevitable option. A considerable number of states continue to utilise amnesty as a device for peace and reconciliation, and they have granted amnesty for war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity. In customary international law, there is a gap between the actual state practice and the existence of the customary norm creating a duty to prosecute. As a result, the status of the so-called "palatable amnesties" (à la South Africa), often granted as part of a truth and reconciliation process, still remains unclear in international law. This is further exacerbated by the inconsistent practice of the United Nations as the main depository and sponsor of human rights instruments. South Africa and Sierra Leone are used as case studies to illustrate this inconsistency in both state and UN practice on the status of amnesties in international law. As a result, the study proposes a balanced approach model, which is an attempt to strike a balance between accountability, political transformation and social stability in transitional democracies. The balanced approach model proceeds from the premise that the international criminal justice system is not flawless and, therefore, it is important to acknowledge its limitations, such as the lack of enforcement agencies, difficulties in the collection of reliable evidence and a lack of resources to prosecute. In terms of the model, consideration is given to (i) the need to respect the legitimacy of the political process that gives rise to the granting of amnesty; (ii) the amnesty must be proportional to the crimes committed and must be rationally connected to the aims of achieving peace and national reconciliation, the interests of justice, compensation for victims; and finally (iii) the general commitment of the state that grants amnesty to respect international law obligations, which includes the implementation of international obligations as part of municipal law and treaty monitoring obligations as preconditions for the amnesty to pass muster in the balanced approach model. In conclusion, the study proposes model Policy Guidelines on Amnesties Granted for Gross and Systematic Human Rights Violations in International Law for the Assembly of States of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to take note of, and to commend to states and international courts and tribunals, leaving its content to be taken up in the normal processes of the application and development of international law. The status of the Guidelines is that of a code of conduct or guide to practice. In that sense, the Guidelines do not have the character of a binding legal instrument and will serve as the basis for the development of sound principles of international law on amnesties. / Constitutional and International Law / L.LD

During the twentieth century, Cable & Wireless was the world’s biggest and most important telegraphy company, employing large numbers of people in stations across the world. Its network of submarine cables and wireless routes circumnavigated the globe, connecting Britain with the Empire. This thesis examines the ways in which the British Empire and modernity shaped Cable & Wireless’ corporate identity in order to understand the historical geography of the relationships between Empire, state, and modernity. Additionally, it investigates the role of design in the Company’s engagement with the discourses of modernity and imperialism. Historical Geography has not paid sufficient attention to the role of companies, in particular technology companies, as institutions of imperialism and instruments of modernity. The study of businesses within Historical Geography is in its infancy, and this thesis will provide a major contribution to this developing field. This thesis takes an interdisciplinary approach that sits at the intersection of three main disciplines: Historical Geography, Design History and Business History. This thesis examines how Cable & Wireless’ identity was produced, transmitted and consumed. This thesis is based on detailed research in Cable &Wireless’ corporate archive at Porthcurno, examining a wide range of visual and textual sources. This pays particular attention to how the Company designed its corporate identity through maps, posters, ephemera, corporate magazines and exhibitions. Drawing upon the conceptualizations of the Empire as a network, it argues that Cable & Wireless’ identity was networked like its submarine cables with decision-making power, money and identity traversing this network. This thesis seeks to place both the company and the concept of corporate identity within a broader historical and artistic context, tracing the development of both the company’s institutional narrative and the corporate uses of visual technologies. No study has been conducted into the corporate identity and visual culture of Cable & Wireless. This thesis not only provides a new dimension to knowledge and understanding of the historical operations of Cable & Wireless, but also makes a substantive contribution to the wider fields of Historical Geography, Business History, Design History and the study of visual culture.

摘要 本研究探討民國九十一年開始實施之企業營運總部政策對股市之影響，分為三部分。第一部份採用法令分析及文獻探討方式，分析我國與鄰近國家關於營運總部政策及其租稅優惠之異同，並佐以各界對此項政策之評論，以得出我國營運總部政策優劣之處；第二部份以敘述性統計檢視各產業符合營運總部申請要件比率及各要件達成之難易程度，以做為建立迴歸模型之基礎；第三部分則利用事件研究法與迴歸分析探討股市於營運總部政策演變期間股價異常報酬情形，並檢測股價異常報酬率與各要件間的關連性。 在我國營運總部申請要件方面，實質控制海外關係企業、員工人數和學歷、國內年營收淨額、國內年營業費用及國外關係企業年營收淨額等均較新加坡、上海和馬來西亞嚴格，『實質控股』、『員工學歷』和『國外關係企業年營收淨額』更為他國所無之要件。而雖然我國之租稅優惠較此三國優渥，但如無相關配套措施，優惠效果也會大減。在符合要件分析方面，本文針對458家上市公司進行分析，整體符合要件比率為29.85％。在各申請要件中，以國內年營收淨額、年營業費用和員工人數為企業較易達成之要件。但就國外關係企業佈局國家數及其年營收淨額而言則較不易達成，可謂企業欲獲得此項租稅優惠之最大障礙。而就各產業別觀之，以塑膠、電子和水泥業之符合比率最高，機電、電線電纜、塑膠、百貨、玻璃和造紙業次之。而紡織、化學和食品業則因無法達到國外關係企業佈局國家數與其年營收淨額此兩項要件導致符合比率相當低。另外汽車、營建、運輸、觀光與金融保險業中無一家公司達到符合營運總部設立要件。此結果顯示傳統產業在獲取營運總部租稅優惠上仍趨於劣勢，可能造成產業別租稅不公平之現象。 營運總部政策演變過程中，股市普遍給予其正面評價，包括在經濟部起草規劃、經發會通過、經濟部與行政院增訂促產條例，以及立法院三讀通過等六個事件日，皆出現顯著為正之股票異常報酬。而在分析企業申請營運總部獲准日之股市反應方面，在通過日之次一交易日也有顯著之正值異常報酬。 以迴歸模型檢視影響股價異常報酬之因素，在全體上市公司樣本方面，股市對電子業仍給予最高的顯著股價異常報酬，不過，實證上並無發現設立要件有顯著影響股價異常報酬之結果。就73家核准公司樣本分析則顯示遞延所得稅負債科目金額之大小對累積股價異常報酬率有顯著之正值影響。 / Abstract In January 30, 2002, the legislative Yuan passed the Chapter VI-1 of the Statute for Upgrading Industries to encourage companies to utilize worldwide resources and set up the operational headquarters in Taiwan by providing preferential tax interests. Using 2001 corporate financial statement data and regression analysis, this study explores the influence of the Operational -Headquarter policy on the reactions of the stock market. The results of this study are as follows: 1. Regarding the qualification requirements, Taiwan has a more strict qualification than those of Singapore, Shanghai and Malaysia, especially in the specification of “control over the foreign affiliates,” “the net revenues and expenses of the operational headquarter,” “the quantity and quality of employees,” and “the net revenues of the affiliates abroad.” 2. The statistical analyses show that there is 29.85% companies meet of requirements of operational headquarters. Among the qualifications, the requirements of “foreign affiliates” are the most difficult criteria to achieve than others, causing the traditional industries cannot qualify for applying the approval. 3. During the event period of this study, the stock market reacts to the proposal by significant positive stock abcdrmal returns. It shows the stock market favors the new policy. The regression results indicate that investors give the Electrical industry higher evaluation than other industries.

Les partis politiques sont devenus les piliers de la démocratie moderne. De simples groupes inorganisés, ils sont devenus des structures hiérarchisées dont l’objectif est la conquête puis l’exercice du pouvoir. Les contingences historiques ont montré la nécessité pour les démocraties de se doter d’un appareil juridique pour se protéger des partis, mais également pour garantir leurs droits et libertés. Les partis ont donc été consacrés dans les Constitutions d’après-guerre. Cette constitutionnalisation s’est accompagnée de l’adjonction de Lois des partis ainsi que de dispositions législatives règlementant le droit des partis. La question du statut constitutionnel des partis se posait, alimentée par les décisions du juge constitutionnel, amené à se prononcer sur les droits, libertés et exigences des partis, dans le cadre du contrôle de constitutionnalité.Dès lors, il était intéressant d’aborder une approche comparatiste des partis politiques, sous l'angle du droit constitutionnel comparé, en l’occurrence du contentieux constitutionnel. La constitutionnalisation structurelle opposée à la consécration fonctionnelle permet de mettre en relief les grands principes directeurs du droit des partis. Ont ainsi été dégagés les principes de liberté, d’égalité, ainsi que celui de la transparence. Les partis sont confrontés aux exigences et aux interdictions, issues aussi bien des textes constitutionnels que législatifs. Les Cours constitutionnelles allemande, espagnole, italienne, française et portugaise apportent leurs appréciations, dont les travaux proposent une analyse détaillée. Le juge constitutionnel a certes remplit sa mission de protecteur de la Constitution en assurant la protection des principes démocratiques, mais dans le même temps, il s’est révélé le protecteur des droits et libertés des partis / Les partis politiques sont devenus les piliers de la démocratie moderne.

[pt] Há um avanço incontestável no olhar que a sociedade hoje lança sobre a criança e o adolescente, não mais enxergando-os como pessoas inferiores e desprovidas de vontade própria, mas sim como sujeitos de direitos. Esse olhar é fruto de uma mudança significativa na legislação brasileira, que garante tratamento protetivo integral a esse segmento da população. Mas há uma questão que precisa ser pensada e resolvida, que é a não aplicabilidade, na forma da lei, das medidas protetivas e socioeducativas aos adolescentes que praticam ato infracional e estão sob a tutela do Estado. Os adolescentes que se encontram nessa situação, têm recebido tratamento incompatível com o que determina o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (Lei 8069/90) e os arcabouços legais internacionais dos quais o Brasil é signatário, pois sofrem corriqueiramente violência física e psicológica e via de regra, se encontram em espaços impróprios para o cumprimento da medida de internação, o que reforça uma prática punitiva e não socioeducativa sobre eles. Essa prática reproduz a cultura vigente em nossa sociedade, que vê o adolescente que praticou ou pratica ato infracional, como pessoa que deve ser afastada do convívio social e punida por seus atos, sem que lhe seja permitido qualquer chance de elaboração e reflexão sobre sua prática, que possa proporcionar-lhe mudança de vida. Por que os Direitos Humanos não vêm sendo respeitados? Por que o próprio Estado, tão preocupado em alargar essa discussão na sociedade, quando tutela esse adolescente, não coloca em prática os princípios norteadores que devem reger o tratamento a esse adolescente? Há, portanto, uma distância entre o discurso e a prática na questão dos Direitos Humanos que precisa ser refletida: a instituição Direitos Humanos serve de ponte ou gera barreiras na efetivação dos direitos de adolescentes em conflito com a Lei? Mas os antagonismos vêm diminuindo, dadas as muitas conquistas havidas nos últimos 20 anos, desde a promulgação do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente. Muitos Estados vem se empenhando para mudar o olhar punitivo e estão revendo suas práticas antigas e violadoras de direitos, formulando novos pensares e práticas que nos enchem de esperança. Este é o cerne da nossa discussão. / [en] Undeniably, there has been an advance in the way society today regards children and adolescents: not anymore as inferior people deprived of their own will, but as subjects of rights. This perspective derives from a significant change in Brazilian legislation, which now ensures full protective treatment to this segment of the population. One issue, however, remains to be considered and solved, which is the non-applicability, in the form of the law, of protective and socioeducative measures to juvenile offenders and are under the State guardianship. Adolescents in such situation have usually been submitted to a range of disciplinary measures which are incompatible with provisions of the Statute on the Child and the Adolescent (Law no. 8069/90) and the legal international framework which Brazil endorses, since they are often subjected to physical and psychological violence and, as a rule, are found in inadequate spaces for the fulfillment of the internment measure, which in turn reinforces a punitive rather than socioeducative practice upon them. This kind of practice reproduces current cultural values in our society, according to which juvenile offenders should be parted (deprived) from social interaction and punished for their actions. Thus, they are given scarcely any chance for elaborating and reflecting on their own past behavior in such a way that might bring about a life change. Why are Human Rights not being respected? Why does the State itself, which is so intently concerned with spreading this discussion throughout society, fails to make sure that constitutional rights be enforced as guiding principles regarding children and adolescents under governmental institutions? In regard to Human Rights there is, hence, a gap between discourse and practice which must be critically considered: does the institution of Human Rights serve as a bridge, a connection? Or does it generate barriers in effecting the rights of adolescents in conflict with the Law? The antagonisms, however, have diminished in the last 20 years, since the promulgation of the Statute on the Child and the Adolescent. Many Brazilian States have been making efforts to change punitive perspectives and reviewing their old-fashioned, rights-violating practices, formulating new thoughts and practices which fill us with hope. This is the focus of this text.

in English The theme of this dissertation is the subject matter jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Offences such as aggression, genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, sometimes called the "core crimes", are the most serious crimes ever indentified under international law. These crimes do not violate only some particular rights, but they threaten the whole international community, peace, security and well-being of the world. Therefore it is essential to have a precise legal definition of these grave crimes and to establish an effective judicial mechanism for prosecution of the most dangerous criminals. However, it is not easy to find general consent on these matters among the international community. There is not much space for internationalisation in the field of criminal law, which was traditionally considered an important part of national sovereignty. Thus the path towards establishment of the ICC, which is the first permanent international criminal judicial body ever, was extremely difficult, as was definition of the four core crimes falling within its jurisdiction. This thesis scrutinises the concrete provisions of the ICC Statute, the "Rome Statute", which constitute substantive law by defining the crime of genocide (art. 6), crimes against humanity (art. 7), war...

Na Constituição Federal de 1988 (CF/88) o direito à educação é declarado como um direito fundamental, de caráter social, configurando-se um direito de todos e dever do Estado. Todavia, há um longo caminho a ser percorrido para que todos, sem distinção, tenham acesso à educação, e que esta seja de qualidade. Recorrer ao Poder Judiciário pode ser uma das possibilidades de efetivá-lo. Esta tese analisa como os desembargadores têm apreciado e julgado as demandas envolvendo os direitos de crianças e adolescentes à educação, no âmbito do Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo (TJ-SP), instância de recurso do Poder Judiciário, no período após a implantação do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente. Objetivou-se identificar em quais litígios consolidou-se uma jurisprudência favorável à exigibilidade judicial, e localizar os possíveis entraves quanto à interpretação do direito à educação, procurando compreender se a intervenção judicial possibilita uma ampliação da efetivação dos direitos educacionais e, consequentemente, o fortalecimento da democracia. Nas referências teóricas buscou-se discutir a efetividade e a interpretação das normas relacionadas ao direito à educação, como um direito social, no contexto do Estado democrático de direito adotado pela CF/88, o processo de expansão do Poder Judiciário para a proteção dos direitos sociais e as características institucionais do Judiciário brasileiro e do TJ-SP. Tendo em vista os objetivos, realizou-se uma pesquisa documental, com a coleta de 483 decisões proferidas pelo TJ-SP, no período de 1991 a 2008. Esses documentos, com base nas principais demandas e questionamentos discutidos nos processos, foram organizados e analisados em amplas categorias: acesso à educação básica; permanência; responsabilidade estatal; poder de regulação estatal; decisões administrativas e políticas; gestão dos recursos públicos e deveres dos pais. A partir da análise geral das decisões, denota-se que os principais obstáculos para a exigibilidade judicial do direito à educação estão relacionados, sobretudo, às questões sobre o orçamento público, aos limites da discricionariedade do administrador e do campo decisório do Judiciário e ao atendimento às demandas difusas e coletivas envolvendo a formulação e a implementação de políticas públicas. Observa-se que há uma tendência majoritária entre os membros do TJ-SP a aceitar com mais facilidade as demandas que requisitavam, individualmente ou para um número definido de interessados, o acesso à educação, consolidando uma jurisprudência favorável ao longo dos anos, principalmente com relação à educação infantil e à educação especial. Todavia, os desembargadores foram mais resistentes em acatar os pedidos relacionados às questões técnicas ou políticas, considerando o argumento da separação dos poderes. Por fim, constata-se que o Judiciário constitui importante instrumento para a consolidação da democracia ao possibilitar reivindicar a efetivação do direito à educação, no entanto torna-se fundamental a mudança de concepção de parcela dos seus membros, no que se refere à interferência desta instituição no controle da ação da administração pública, quando esta deixa de cumprir com os direitos declarados. / In the Federal Constitution of 1988 (CF/88) the right to education is declared as a fundamental right, social character, configuring a everyone right and duty of the State. However, there is a long way to be crawled so that everyone, without distinction, has access to education, and that this is quality. Recourse to the Judiciary can be one of the possibilities to make permanent. This thesis examines how the magistrates have esteemed and judged demands involving the rights of children and adolescents to education, in the context of the São Paulo Justice Court (TJ-SP), the judiciary instance appeal, in the period after the implantation of the Children and Adolescents Statute. The target is identify in which litigations consolidated a favorable jurisprudence to judicial enforceability and find potential barriers as to the interpretation of the right to education, trying to understand if judicial intervention enables extension of effective educational rights and consequently, the strengthening of the democracy. In the theoretical references attempted discuss the effectiveness and interpretation of standards related to the right to education, as a social law, in the Democratic State context adopted by CF/88, the process of Judiciary expansion to the protection of social rights and institutional characteristics of the Brazilian Judiciary, and judicial and the São Paulo Justice Court (TJ-SP). According the objectives, achieved the research with 483 decisions given by the TJ-SP, during the period 1991 to 2008. These documents, on the basis of the main demands and questions discussed in the processes, were organized and analyzed in wide categories: access to basic education; permanence; State responsibility; State regulatory power; policies and administrative decisions; management of public resources and parents obligations. From the general analysis of the decisions, denotes that the main obstacles to judicial enforceability of the right to education are related, primarily, to questions about the public budget, to the administrator discretionary limits and the Judiciary decisive area, and the attendance to the diffuse and collective demands involving the formulation and implementation of public policies. Noted that there is a tendency majority among of the TJ-SP members to accept more easily demands that required, individually or to a defined number of interested parties, the access to education, consolidating a favorable jurisprudence over the years, mainly with respect to early childhood education and special education. However, the magistrates were more resistant to accept requests related to policy or technical issues, whereas the argument of the separation of powers. Finally, the Judiciary constitutes an important instrument for consolidating to democracy, enabled identifiable claim the right to education, however it, becomes crucial to changing the conception of its members, regarding the interference of this institution in control of the action of public administration, when this not comply with the rights declared.

For that, we will study the main international conventions and treaties that rule the subject, in order to fallow the historical evolution of this new doctrine in our legal system, since the Constitution of 1988, until the issue of the Child and Adolescent Statute. We will analize the relevant aspects of the full protection doctrine necessities and importance, as well as the new of the infant presented by the Statute, who is no longer seen as an object, but as a person in a peculiar development condition. We will discuss the new view, and the necessity of the protection doctrine, presenting and referring to some of its aspects, which, as we shall see, are vital to the infant development. This way, we believe that full protection doctrine will be widely discussed, with a perfect understanding of this new view presented by the Child and Adolescent Statute, that, as said before, considers the infant a person in peculiar condition / A idéia central desse trabalho é falarmos sobre a doutrina da proteção integral do menor, prevista no Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente. Para tanto, faremos um estudo das principais convenções e tratados internacionais que regem a matéria, para, em seguida, trilharmos uma evolução histórica dessa nova doutrina no nosso ordenamento jurídico, a partir da Constituição de 1988, culminando com a edição do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente. Analisaremos os aspectos relevantes da necessidade e importância da doutrina da proteção integral, bem como dessa nova visão apresentada pelo Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, em face dos menores, os quais são tratados como pessoas em condição peculiar de desenvolvimento. Faremos uma abordagem dessa visão apresentada pelo Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, da qualidade de menores ainda em desenvolvimento, e da necessidade da doutrina da proteção integral à criança e ao adolescente, abordando alguns aspectos que a compõem, os quais, como veremos, são vitais para os menores. Com isso, cremos que tanto a doutrina da proteção integral será compreendida, como a nova visão apresentada pelo Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, que enfoca o menor como pessoa em condição peculiar
