The Role of the 'Legal Rule' in Indonesian Law: environmental law and the reformasi of water management

Waddell, Sarah Kathleen January 2004 (has links)
In examining the role of the �legal rule� in Indonesian law, and in particular environmental law related to water quality management, this thesis questions the often expressed view that laws in Indonesia are sound, they merely fail to be implemented. It proposes that this appraisal of the situation does not take a sufficiently deep assessment and that a cause for non-implementation lies within the drafting of the laws themselves. It is argued that the ineffective system for environmental protection in Indonesia can be related to a failure to recognise the role of the �legal rule� in environmental law. A proposition presented in this thesis is that the arrangements for environmental law making in Indonesia lacks a strong rule foundation and, for this reason, it is not capable of producing shared understandings by lawmakers about producing and reproducing environmental law as legal sub-system. Another central proposition is that Indonesian environmental law has a form and style, which negates the role of the legal rule in environmental management and control. Despite the changes brought by reformasi, the central position of the legal rule in environmental law and, indeed, the necessary rule foundation to the development of the legal system, has yet to achieve full recognition. If this situation is related to the system of water quality management and pollution control in Indonesia, it can be seen that environmental improvement will not be achieved until underlying issues concerning the structure, form and style of environmental law making are addressed.

A função jurisdicional ordinária e o estado democrático de direito um enfoque institucional

Carrasco, Álvaro José Bettanin January 2012 (has links)
O Estado Democrático de Direito pressupõe uma relação harmoniosa e contínua entre Ética, Política e Direito. É com base nessa premissa que devem ser identificadas as funções estatais, as quais estão relacionadas a determinados planos de fins específicos e convergentes: o nível dos fins últimos (consenso), o nível dos fins intermediários (deliberação) e nível dos fins imediatos (execução). A estrutura da ordem jurídica também observa esses níveis, que podem ser ligados, respectivamente, à função jurisdicional constitucional, à função legislativa e à função jurisdicional ordinária. Essa última função tem o objetivo de aplicar o Direito, de modo imparcial, mediando a generalidade das leis com as particularidades dos casos concretos. O alcance de tal objetivo depende da organização institucional do Estado, pois são as instituições que permitem a adequação de cada função à sua finalidade precípua. No Brasil, o arranjo institucional tem prejudicado a atuação da justiça ordinária, com prejuízo também para o Estado Democrático de Direito. / The Rule of law assumes a harmonious and continuous relationship amongst the Ethics, the Politics and the Law. It is based on this premise that the state functions must be identified, functions which are related to certain levels of specific and convergent ends: the level of final ends (consensus), the level of intermediary ends (deliberation) and the level of immediate ends (execution). The structure of legal order also observes these levels, which may be connected, respectively, to the function of constitutional jurisdiction, to the legislative function and to the function of ordinary jurisdiction. This last function aims to apply the Law, impartially, mediating the generality of the statutes with the particularities of concrete cases. The reach of such objective depends on the institutional organization of the state, because it is the institutions that allow the adequacy of each function to its main purpose. In Brazil, the institutional arrangement has undermined the performance of the ordinary Courts, with loss also to the Rule of Law.

Litigating for Peace: The Impact of Public Interest Litigation in Divided Societies

Bibee, Andrea 11 July 2013 (has links)
Peacebuilding efforts are ongoing around the globe today. However, in societies that have transitioned out of conflict and have a strong judiciary, potential exists to use innovative techniques to assist in those efforts. Termed divided societies, these countries which have conflict simmering under the surface may benefit from public interest litigation as a tool for peacebuilding in the region. As peacebuilding and public interest litigation share many of the same goals, litigation may be able to assist the society to more sustainably transition from a culture of conflict to a culture of peace. This paper details current scholarship on public interest litigation, peacebuilding, and post-conflict reconstruction, provides research findings of best practices for litigating from Northern Ireland and South Africa, and discusses the efficacy and limitations of public interest litigation as a tool for peacebuilding.

Concepts of law and justice and the rule of law in the African context

Motshekga, Mathole 01 1900 (has links)
The study makes a descriptive and analytical study of the development of the dynamic concept of the rule of law with special reference to the African contribution. First, the study shows that the Diceyan concept of the rule of law was narrow and peculiar to the Western liberal legal culture, and that more specifically, the substantive content of the concept of the rule of law was limited to the first generation of human rights. In its international and African context the concept was expanded to include all three generations of human rights and also identified with the concepts of democracy and the right of peoples and nations to self-determination. The expanded concept came to be known as the Dynamic Concept of the rule of law. Secondly, the study traces the origins and development of the principle of equal rights and self-determination and their extension to all peoples and nations and shows that these rights are universal, not relative, as they derive from the inherent worth and dignity of the individual. Also, the study shows that in the African context the three generations of human rights have been interlinked, made inter-dependent, and then identified with the rule of law, human rights and the right of self-determination (perceived as a right to democratic self-governance). Hence, the worth and dignity of the human personality has been made the fountainhead of human rights and have been elevated to the substantive elements of the Dynamic Concept of the rule of law and the basis of the modern African Constitutional State. Under the Colonial Rule both the Diceyan and the dynamic concept of the rule of law were not recognised. Instead, Colonial and racist regimes tried to create alternative institutions of government which denied the oppressed peoples the right to democratic self-governance and independence. However, Colonial and oppressed peoples relied on the dynamic concept of the rule of law in their freedom struggles and in the elaboration of their policies. Hence, the constitutions of all the former colonies in southern Africa under discussion were to different degrees informed by the Dynamic Concept of the rule of law. / Constitutional, International and Indigenous Law / LL.D
