For a variety of historical, cultural and political reasons, the Islamic headscarf has become an increasingly controversial matter in Europe. This is particularly the case in France, where the Parliament passed, in March 2004, a piece of legislation that prohibits students from wearing the Muslim veil—together with any other ‘conspicuous’ religious sign—in the classroom. Although Statute 228/2004 proved highly controversial and attracted unprecedented media attention, it was overwhelmingly supported by French MPs as a response to popular opposition towards religious insignia at school and was heralded as a ‘liberating’ piece of legislation that faithfully reasserted the beloved French principle of laïcité. Overseas, the new law was less favourably perceived and was often accused of being discriminatory and of violating the students’ freedom of religious expression. This thesis compares the French and American attitudes towards religious symbolism in general and the Islamic veil in particular. As in other matters, at first sight these two countries seem to adopt a very different—if not opposite—approach to religion and the Muslim veil, and so much so that their positions are often described as ‘irreconcilable’. This thesis will argue that this is hardly the case. Indeed, it will show that, at least before the passage of Statute 228-2004, the French and American legal systems adopted a substantially similar approach that appeared respectful of a veiled student’s right to wear religious insignia. This, the work will also suggest, is not surprising, for contrary to popular belief, the American conception of secularism is in many respects stricter than the French idea of laïcité, with the result that French ‘exceptionalism’ on matters of religion is hardly a convincing ground for justifying the new piece of legislation. The fundamental value of a Franco-American comparison, this work will suggest, ultimately lies with the fact that such a comparison demolishes a good portion of the popular myths surrounding the affaire des foulards: that the French legal system is fiercely secular; that the American one is strongly ‘religious’; and that France was, in 2004, confronted with a veritable ‘veil emergency’ that rendered the passage of the new statute all but inevitable.

The thesis in question is titled “Readjusting Orthodoxy”. It constitutes a discourse in UK constitutional law although legal theoretic, historical, politicial, philosophical, and EU-related complementary themes are also present. It is founded upon, and driven by, two fundamental, inter-related premises. First, that it is the orthodox reading of the UK Constitution which best describes and explains the present constitutional arrangement: the UK Parliament is a sovereign institution sitting at the apex of the UK Constitution and vested with the right to make and unmake any law whatsoever. In the second place, that, notwithstanding the above, this very reading of the UK Constitution is currently deficient in terms of internal cohesion, is plagued by ingrained anachronistic dogmas and enjoys only a limited adaptability. From these premises emerges a third proposition; namely, that the UK constitutional discourse as a whole would stand to lose greatly should alternative constitutional theories that are less suited to describe and explain the current constitutional arrangement replace the orthodox reading of the Constitution by exploiting these conspicuous drawbacks. Thus, the present treatise argues that the orthodox reading should after critical evaluation be readjusted in the various ways to be proposed so as to be rendered coherent, consistent, impervious to the numerous challenges it currently faces and, ultimately, capable of continuing to offer the canonical account of the ever-changing UK Constitution.

E o planejamento urbano é uma das áreas da administração pública que mais pode beneficiar-se desse modelo de tomada de decisão. A Lei do Estatuto da Cidade estabelece um conjunto de regras para a ordenação do uso do solo urbano, e obriga os municípios com mais de 20 mil habitantes a apresentar um Plano Diretor. Ela traz, entre outras novidades legislativas, a gestão social e a função social da propriedade, repercutindo sob aspectos como, dentre outros, o econômico, o político, o social e o ambiental. O Brasil – até há poucas décadas basicamente um país agrário – passou por um acelerado processo de urbanização, com a migração de trabalhadores oriundos do campo. Até então, o planejamento urbano era feito por uma estrutura burocrática centralizada, autoritária, e com interesses sobretudo especulativos e econômicos. Em decorrência, ocorreram um crescimento desordenado da população de baixa renda na área urbana, bem como uma acentuada proliferação de atividades urbanas informais. O presente trabalho analisa, brevemente e de forma geral, como a implementação da gestão social pelo Estatuto da Cidade e o Plano Diretor alteram essa realidade, e como ela pode influenciar o desenvolvimento e o planejamento urbano carioca. / In parallel to strategic management, a new administrative approach emerges in the national scene: the social management. Urban planning is one of the areas of the public administration that can best be benefited from this model of decision-making. The City Statute Law establishes a set of rules aiming at urban land utilization. It makes compulsory the presentation of a Director Plan by all municipalities with more than twenty thousand inhabitants. This brings, among other legislative innovations, social management and the social function of property, with repercussions in several aspects such as, among others, economic, political, social and environmental conditions. Brazil – basically an agrarian country up to a few decades ago – went through a fast urbanization process due to workers migration from rural areas. The urban planning used to be carried out by a bureaucratic, centralized, authoritative structure, mainly with speculative and economic interests. As a result, a disorderedly low income population growth came up to urban areas with striking proliferation of informal urban activities. This paper analyses briefly and in a general view how implementation of social management through the City Statute Law and the Director Plan is changing this situation and how it may influence urban development and planning in Rio de Janeiro City.

Prenant appui sur le Statut de Rome et les textes de référence issus des instances de la Francophonie, cette thèse vise à mettre en lumière la contribution de cet acteur, dans le processus de lutte contre l’impunité. Il s’agit, en effet, de démontrer que les crimes, d’une extrême gravité, prévus et punis par le Statut de Rome sont aux antipodes des valeurs humanistes prônées par la Francophonie.Regroupant 80 Etats et gouvernements (54membres, 3 associés et 23 observateurs) dont 55 sont Parties au Statut, disposant d’un vaste réseau institutionnel et comptant 274 millions de locuteurs à travers le monde, la Francophonie, en dépit de ses imperfections, est tout autant légitime que capable pour insuffler le processus de mise en œuvre du Statut. Pour corriger les imperfections de la Francophonie, cette thèse a insisté, tout particulièrement, sur la nécessité de créer, dans chaque État, des organes ayant pour compétence de mobiliser tous les acteurs susceptibles d’être impliqués dans la mise en œuvre du Statut de Rome. / On the basis of the Rome Statute and the reference or authoritative text from bodies or instances of Francophonie, this dissertation aims to highlight the contribution of this author in the fight against impunity. In fact, this is necessary to demonstrate that extremely serious offences laid down or defined and punishable by the Rome Statute are the clear opposite of humanistic values promoted by the International Organization of the Francophonie (IOF).The IOF consists of 56 states and governments, as well as 23 observers, 3 associates and 54 members in 5 continents. With 55 of members being states parties to the Rome Statute, sharing a wide institutional network and having 274 millions of people speaking a common language. The IOF, in spite of its imperfections, is equally legitimate and has the capacity to provide fresh momentum for the Rome Statute implementation process.To overcome the shortcomings of the present system of Francophonie, this dissertation particularly insists on the need or the importance to create in member’s states authorities or departments in order to mobilize and involve actors or partners to the implementation of the Rome Statute.

Le système de la Cour pénale internationale (CPI), dont la mission est d’assurer la justice internationale, repose sur un lien étroit avec le Conseil de sécurité. Il convient donc de s’interroger sur le rôle du Conseil dans le fonctionnement de la justice pénale internationale. Cette question est fondamentale, car l'intervention d'un organe politique dans l’activité d’un organe judiciaire remet en cause les missions de chacune de ces institutions. L’intrusion du Conseil dans l’activité de la CPI, basée sur sa mission de maintien de la paix, est en fait établie au nom d’un ordre international voulu par le Conseil lui-même. Ce rôle affecte le fonctionnement, l’indépendance et même l’impartialité de la Cour. Les pouvoirs que le Statut de Rome confère au Conseil, lui permettent en effet de saisir la CPI, d’imposer aux Etats de coopérer avec la Cour, de suspendre son activité ou encore de qualifier un acte, de crime d’agression. Cependant, les rapports entre le Conseil et la CPI ne devraient pas être subordonnés, mais entretenus dans le respect mutuel, ainsi une véritable crainte existe concernant le respect du Conseil envers le Statut de Rome. L’étude met en évidence le conflit entre justice et politique et révèle les enjeux actuels en termes de justice pénale internationale. / The international criminal Court system (ICC) whose mission is to ensure international justice, is based on a close relationship with the security Council. So it is proper to wonder about the Council’s role in the functioning of international criminal justice. Such a questionning is fundamental, for the intervention of a political body into the functioning of a judicial body calls into question the missions of both institutions. The Council’s interference in the activity of the ICC, based on its mission of maintaining international peace, is actually carried out on behalf of an international order intended by the Council itself. This role affects the functioning, the independence and even the impartiality of the ICC. The powers the Rome Statute gives to the Council allow it to refer to the ICC, to impose for the States to cooperate with the Court, to suspend its activity or also to qualify an act as a crime of aggression. However the relations between the Council and the ICC should not be subordinated, but maintained in mutual respect. Thus there is a real concern regarding the observance of the Rome Statute by the Council. The study highlights the conflict between justice and politics and reveals the current issues in terms of international criminal justice.

This study was structured from the contextualization of a representative legal framework for the urban and environmental policy, predominantly composed in the 1930s until the most recent enacted statute, according to specific themes organized into six regulation series. The topics discussed include the constitutional frameworks, the division of land, the legal principles from the urban reform proposals, the environmental legislation before and after the 1980s, and the normative system related to the Permanent Preservation Areas - APPs. The analytical structuring was based on identifying aspects considered essential for the research, which included property rights; land and environmental policy management instruments; institutional structure; and ways to approach environmental issues posed by the urban perspective, and vice versa, the urban and social approach posed by the environmental perspective. The analysis of the transformation of these aspects, within the legislative series selected, was preceded by the discussion and contextualization of the social movements that emerged in the 1970s and which influenced the shaping of new paradigms embodied in the contemporary urban and environmental legislation. For the urban perspective, some concepts of territorial planning and management used in Brazil are discussed, especially the role of the National Urban Reform Movement and the emergence of the principle of the social function of city and property. For the Environmental perspective, the origins of environmental concerns in Brazil are discussed, as well as the role of the environmental movement and its impact in shaping the legal system to protect the environment. The interactive analysis discussed and identified the main challenges in the integrated articulation of urban and environmental policy. Although there is a process to expand the interfaces in these matters, disputes and conflicts still prevail with regards to territorial ownership and occupation, which represent challenges for the perspective to achieve the unified paradigm of the socioenvironmental function of the city and property. / Este trabalho pretende discutir as transformações das abordagens urbanísticas e ambientais na gestão territorial brasileira, identificando suas confluências e divergências. Esta investigação foi estruturada a partir da contextualização de um arcabouço legal representativo para a política urbana e ambiental, majoritariamente constituído a partir dos anos 1930, até a legislação mais recente, segundo temáticas específicas organizadas em seis séries normativas. Os temas tratados envolveram os marcos constitucionais, o parcelamento do solo, as peças legais decorrentes das propostas da reforma urbana, a legislação ambiental pré e pós-anos 1980, e o aparato normativo relacionado às Áreas de Preservação Permanentes - APPs. A condução analítica foi pautada na identificação de aspectos considerados essenciais para a pesquisa, envolvendo o direito de propriedade; os instrumentos de política e gestão territorial e ambiental; o desenho institucional; e as formas de abordagem da questão ambiental feita pela vertente urbanística, e vice-versa, as formas de abordagem urbanística e social feita pela vertente ambiental. A análise da transformação desses aspectos, no interior das séries legislativas selecionadas, foi precedida pela discussão e contextualização dos movimentos sociais que afloraram, a partir dos anos 1970, e que tiveram influência na conformação de novos paradigmas incorporados à legislação urbanística e ambiental contemporânea. Pela vertente urbanística foram discutidas algumas concepções de planejamento e gestão territorial empregadas no Brasil, especialmente o papel do Movimento Nacional pela Reforma Urbana e o surgimento do princípio da função social da cidade e da propriedade. Pela Vertente Ambiental foram discutidas as origens da preocupação ambiental no Brasil, o papel do movimento ambientalista e sua repercussão na conformação do aparato legal destinado a proteger o meio ambiente. As análises interativas discutiram e identificaram os principais desafios presentes na articulação integrada da política urbana e ambiental. Embora exista um processo de ampliação das interfaces entre essas agendas, ainda prevalecem disputas e conflitos na apropriação e ocupação territorial que representam desafios à perspectiva de concretização do paradigma aglutinador da função socioambiental da cidade e da propriedade.

This diploma paper dealt with the profession of the Head Nurse working in Prison Health Centre.The work considered the level of education of the Head Nurses working in the Prison Health Centre with the aim to analyse the level of education nowdays predominating in this profession. Furthermore, the work was aimed to specify whether the Head Nurses have mostly secondary school education. Due to the fad that the author of this work has been studying at the Faculty of Health and Social studies of the University of South Bohemia, the work also took into consideration prevailing attitudes to possible advantages of studies at the Faculty of Health and Social studies of the future Head Nurses. The work also applied to the number of Paramedical workers who have been working in the Prison Service and attempted to analyse whether there is a tendency to increase the percentage of medical personnel in the employee structure of the Prison service. To fulfil the objectives of this work the author had chosen various methods: questionnaires, interviews and analysis of statistical data showed in annual reports of the Prison Service of the Czech Republic.

This study aims to analyses the discourse of the legal-social operators in five due process law of the Serra and Vila Velha youth and Childhood Judgeship of the. The social issue and the historical building of the rights of adolescents in conflict with the law had been configured as the theoretic referential. We analyzed the discourses of the judge, public prosecutor, lawyer or counsel for indigents, social work of UNIP, technician of the Court and the professionals of program LAC. After successive readings of the material the data had been analyzed using the referential of the analysis of discourse. The data were organized and presented in the follow way: the history of each adolescent and his/her passage in the legal process; the discourses of the instauration and proceeding of the legal process; discourses for application of the social-educative actions; discourses to execute the social-educative actions and finally the discourses of the final proceeding of the legal process analyzing each one of these parts. As a result was evidenced that in the initial phase of the legal process the expressions of the social matter had been occulted taking advantage the legal issue. The situation of breaking rights of the adolescents and the social circumstances of their evolvement in the practice of infraction was not considered. And the protection to the adolescents through the social-educative action was not sued at law. In the phase of application of the social-educative action we verify a low influence of the discourses of the others legal-social operators and a high influence of the discourses of the magistrate and public prosecutor. The families of the adolescents almost were not mentioned in the audience and in the proceeding of the legal tram. We verify in the phase of execution of the social-educative that the educative process was not reach. It happened because of the lack of systematization in the attendance, the lack of attention to the social necessities of the adolescents and their families and the consequent absence of insertion of them in programs of social inclusion, implying in the strong presence of the sanction and punitive character. The speech of the social reinsertion of the adolescent through the school and the work was evidenced. The data had proven the lack of mediation between rights and public policy and demonstrated that the adolescent in conflict with the law is dealt in a way that stressing the figure of the infractor and overcast the figure of the adolescent citizen in peculiar condition of development. In the final phase of the legal process we verify a legal system whose performance in prominence was of the public prosecutor and the magistrate what indicated that they conducting the process, demonstrating the prevalence of the legal issue. It was concluded that the content of the social matter was enunciated in the legal-social discourses in a non polity way showing that the guilt of the infraction is only of the adolescents and their families. The legal social-educative action is not integrate and do not promote an efficient educative process. Finally we conclude that o ECRIAD was set in motion about periods and rites and was completely ignored about the social rights and the educative aspects of the social-educative actions. / A presente dissertação trata da interface entre a questão social e a questão jurídica no contexto do adolescente que respondeu a processo judicial. O objetivo geral da pesquisa foi analisar os discursos dos operadores jurídico-sociais presentes em cinco processos judiciais das Varas da Infância e Juventude de Serra e Vila Velha. A questão social e a construção histórica dos direitos do adolescente em conflito com a lei configuraram-se como referenciais teóricos. Selecionou-se os discursos do Juiz, Promotor de Justiça, Advogado ou Defensor Público, Assistente Social da UNIP, dos Técnicos do Juizado e dos profissionais do programa LAC. Após leituras sucessivas do material os dados foram analisados utilizando-se o referencial da análise do discurso. Os dados foram organizados e apresentados da seguinte forma: histórico de cada adolescente e seu percurso no processo judicial; discursos da instauração e trâmites iniciais do processo judicial; discursos da aplicação da medida sócioeducativa; discursos da execução da medida sócio-educativa e discursos dos trâmites finais do processo judicial sucedendo-se com a análise de cada uma dessas partes. Como resultado constatou-se que na fase inicial do processo judicial as expressões da questão social foram ocultadas, prevalecendo a questão jurídica. Não se considerou a situação de violação de direitos dos adolescentes e nem as circunstâncias sociais de envolvimento destes na prática de infração e nem foram acionadas a proteção aos adolescentes, através de medidas protetivas. Na fase de aplicação da medida sócio-educativa observou-se pouca influência dos discursos dos outros operadores jurídico-sociais, sobressaindo-se os discursos do Magistrado e do Promotor de Justiça. As famílias dos adolescentes foram pouco acionadas nas Audiências e no decorrer da trama judicial. Verificou-se na fase da execução da medida a não realização do processo sócio-educativo, dada a falta de sistematização no atendimento, a falta de atenção às necessidades sociais dos adolescentes e de suas famílias e a conseqüente ausência de inserção destes em programas de inclusão social, implicando na forte presença do caráter sancionatário e punitivo. Constatou-se o discurso da reinserção social do adolescente através da escola e do trabalho. Os dados comprovaram a ausência de mediação do direito com as políticas públicas demonstrando que o adolescente em conflito com a lei é tratado de forma a se acentuar a figura do infrator, ficando obscurecida a figura do adolescente cidadão em condição peculiar de desenvolvimento. Na fase de finalização do processo judicial verificou-se uma ritualização jurídica cuja atuação em destaque foi do Promotor de Justiça e do Magistrado o que indicou que são eles os condutores do processo, demonstrando a prevalência da questão jurídica. Concluiu-se que o conteúdo da questão social foi enunciado nos discursos jurídicosociais de forma despolitizada, quando da individualização e culpabilização do adolescente, sendo este e sua família responsabilizados sozinhos pela situação de infração, bem como não se efetivaram ações jurídico-sociais integradas de forma a promover um processo sócio-educativo eficaz. Concluiu-se que o ECRIAD foi acionado no que diz respeito aos prazos e ritos processuais e foi completamente ignorado quanto aos direitos sociais e aos aspectos educativos das medidas sócioeducativas.
