The decline of dualism: the relationship between international human rights treaties and the United Kingdom's domestic counter-terror lawsWebber, Craig William Alec 07 August 2013 (has links)
In the first half of the 20th Century, the United Kingdom’s counter-terror laws were
couched extremely broadly. Consequently, they bestowed upon the executive
extraordinarily wide powers with which it could address perceived threats of
terrorism. In that period of time, the internal affairs of any state were considered
sacrosanct and beyond the reach of international law. Consequentially, international
human rights law was not a feature of the first half of the 20th Century.
Following the war, however, international human rights law grew steadily, largely
through the propagation of international treaties. As the 20th Century progressed, the
United Kingdom became increasingly involved in international human rights law,
particularly by way of the ratification of a number of treaties. Prior to the year 2000,
none of these treaties had been directly incorporated into the United Kingdom’s
municipal law. The traditional Dualist understanding of the relationship between
international treaty law and municipal law in the United Kingdom, would hold that
these unincorporated human rights treaties would form no part of that state’s domestic
law.
This Dualist assumption is called into question, however, by a legislative trend which
neatly coincides with the United Kingdom’s increased involvement with international
human rights. This trend consists of two elements, firstly, the progressively plethoric
and specific ways in which the United Kingdom began to define its anti-terror laws.
The specificity in which this legislation was set out curtailed the executive’s powers.
The second element is that, over time, the United Kingdom’s counter-terror laws
increasingly began to include checks and balances on the executive. There is a clear
correlation between these trends and the United Kingdom’s evolving relationship with
international human rights law. That nation’s enmeshment with international human
rights law from 1945 onwards is undeniably linked with the parallel evolution of its
domestic counter-terror laws.
v
One of the grounds on which the status of international law is questioned is that it is
ineffectual. This thesis calls such arguments into question, as it shows that
international human rights treaties have meaningfully impacted on the United
Kingdom’s evolving counter-terror laws and thereby successfully enforced the norms
they advocate. / Public, Constitutional, & International / LL.D.

Legal issues relating to the treatment of persons living with cancerMaimela, Charles 06 1900 (has links)
Cancer is regarded as a global disease and one of the leading killer diseases in the
world. The reason why cancer is so widespread and often misunderstood stems from
multiple factors, namely, the lack of knowledge about cancer, unfair discrimination of
persons living with cancer, inadequate or inappropriate treatment provided to patients,
the stigma attached to cancer, misdiagnosis and late diagnosis of persons living with
cancer, as well as the inadequate provision of screening programs to detect cancer at
an early stage.
The combination of these issues raises alarming medico-legal problems that merit
further attention. The thesis will explore the origin, nature, philosophical and clinical
aspects pertaining to cancer, as well as legal issues related to cancer and oncology.
The study will conclude with recommendations aimed at mitigating and addressing the
shortcomings that exist in the medico-legal framework. The study will also draw on a
legal comparison of relevant South African, English and American laws and
regulations. Since this thesis entails focussing on medico-legal principles, the study
will draw on aspects of medical law, labour law, law of contract, law of delict,
constitutional law and criminal law. / Private Law / LL. D.
