This book addresses the impact of developments surrounding the freedom of expression of judges by building on the experience of judges themselves, legal practitioners and academics across Europe. Like everybody, judges enjoy freedom of expression. However, historically, there have been starker limitations to the free speech of judges compared to ordinary citizens, the rationale being to safeguard judicial independence, impartiality and public trust in the judiciary. Where exactly the boundary lies is a highly complex question. The recent developments in Europe have rekindled the dilemma of guaranteeing freedom of expression to judges. The rule of law crisis has led many judges to speak out a...
Reflections on the ICJ's Chagos Advisory Opinion and its broader context: British colonialism, US military interests, and human rights violations.
Examining the legality of foreign military intervention in internal conflicts with the consent of the government, this book analyses a to-the-point account of post-Cold War State practice with more than 45 incidents of such interventions on a scale neglected in current scholarship.
This book compares and explains how the key European Union and European Economic Area legal principles of consistent interpretation are applied and developed by national courts in 12 different European Union and European Free Trade Association Member States.
Knjiga je po obrokih nastajala skoraj 30 let in vsebuje 526 folklornih in spominskih pripovedi iz krajev pod Dobrčo, Kriško goro, Storžičem in vse tja do Krvavca, zato je spontano dobila naslov Pod gorami. Zanjo se je trudilo 45 zapisovalcev in zapisovalk z območja sedmih gorenjskih občin (Naklo, Tržič, Preddvor, Kranj, Šenčur, Cerklje, Komenda), 32 imen pa je dodanih iz objav v lokalnih in tematskih glasilih s šol Davorina Jenka v Cerkljah in Matije Valjavca v Preddvoru. Zapisali so povedke in pričevanja 137 domačinov. Kranj in Tržič sta se že po prvi svetovni vojni uvrstila med najmočnejša industrijska središča v Sloveniji in kmečko prebivalstvo je našlo zaposlitev v tovarnah. Zato je najobsežnejši razdelek knjige tisti s socialnimi povedkami s kmečko, obrtniško in delavsko tematiko. Zgodovinske so povedke o srednjeveški kugi ali ideološkem šikaniranju in gospodarskem napredku po drugi svetovni vojni, razlagalne povedke se večinoma nanašajo na hišna imena, njim sorodne strašljive povedke pa na druge dogodke. Knjigo končujejo anekdote o znamenitih krajanih in šaljive povedke. Zapis zgodb vključuje tudi kakšno narečno posebnost.
Mikrozgodovina upora in kolaboracije, kot bi lahko podnaslovili Gestrinovo študiju o življenju v podkrimskih vaseh v času med 1941 in 1945 je avtorjev poskus rekonstrukcije najbolj travmatičnega obdobja slovenske zgodovine. Gestrinova zgodovina smrti in upanja ni samo še en deskriptivni opis vojskujočih se enot, temveč prerez nasilnega vsakdana, ki je nekdanje sosede razdelil na odpornike in sodelavce okupatorjev. Le-ti skozi osrednja poglavja knjige znova oživijo tudi zato, ker izvemo o njih skoraj vse: iz kakšne družine so izhajali, kaj so bili po poklicu, v kolikšni meri so bili (če so bili) dejavni v komunistični partiji ali sindikalni organizaciji še pred začetkom vojne. ...
