"There are mechanisms in place" (they tell us) by which we are supposed to be able to guarantee the Rule of Law in this State - which is how and why we remain members of the United Nations, the Council of Europe and the EU. But these mechanisms depend on honest people doing their jobs. Police, lawyers, senior civil servants, judges, TD's, Ministers - and even the President too, all have the power and the responsibility to ensure the Rule of Law and the protection of our fundamental rights. Unfortunately, there are far too many 'shady incentives' to protect those in power - no matter how corrupt or dysfunctional they may be - and if there's one thing the modern Irish State has become expert at - it is the active facilitation and cover-ups of political, white-collar and regulatory crime. In fact, we could very well be the world leaders in those dark arts by now, and all the while, the pretence of Irish democracy and accountability is paraded on the world stage with cunningly-disarming, 'diddle-dee-dee' Irish charm.
This small booklet is a serious, damning indictment of the toxic culture that permeates the Irish political and legal world. It asks and demands that the Irish Government abides by the Rule of Law by first of all acknowledging the multiple documented proofs of serious, criminal wrongdoing by senior officials and office holders who continue to act with brass-necked impunity and contempt for the law, the Constitution and for our fundamental human rights.
The law requires that these people are either reformed, or replaced; gone / sacked / fined / imprisoned - or whatever will ensure that the frauds, the deceptions, the corruption, the thefts of land, of public resources and monies, the perjuries, the lies and forgeries, the frame-ups and targeting of otherwise decent people, the conspiracies and rampant rule breaking in the Courts... that all of this shameful, disreputable activity stops right now
The Government is obliged by law to act on this application for a Public Enquiry. Whether they will or will not, will probably all come down to what they think they can get away with while the public is distracted elsewhere. The very fact that they can dismiss outright any complaints or applications that actually NAME any alleged offender should be warning enough. Over 10 years of systemic stonewalling should seal the deal
If we are to live in an autocratic regime where the Rule of Law only applies only to those of us who are gullible enough or complicit enough to never raise a dissenting voice, then we really need to start thinking of our children's futures, and of all those who came before us and suffered and died for a better world.
Who are we to just give it all away to a shower of career miscreants and moral deviants?
This book contains our arguments for why the Irish State - and particularly the Irish Courts are operating unlawfully and immorally with the full knowledge and complicity of the establishment. It shows how the Rule of Law has effectively been replaced by a fog of misdirection and political deceit, and why we urgently need some honest Courts that do not operate as commercial franchises with the common agenda of protecting the status quo.
This little book also details the arguments and legal reasonings for the setting up of the Peoples Tribunal of Ireland and how it will serve the Irish public. Spend a tenner. Buy this book. Educate yourself and lobby your TD. Start thinking about our country in REAL terms. Do we really want a bunch of gombeens running the place for ever?

On February 15, 2003, millions of people around the world demonstrated against the war that the United States, the United Kingdom, and their allies were planning to wage in Iraq. Despite this being the largest protest in the history of humankind, the war on Iraq began the next month. That year, the World Tribunal on Iraq (WTI) emerged from the global antiwar movement that had mobilized against the invasion and subsequent occupation. Like the earlier tribunal on Vietnam convened by Bertrand Russell and Jean-Paul Sartre, the WTI sought to document—and provide grounds for adjudicating—war crimes committed by the United States, the United Kingdom, and their allied forces during the Iraq war. For the Love of Humanity builds on two years of transnational fieldwork within the decentralized network of antiwar activists who constituted the WTI in some twenty cities around the world. Ayça Çubukçu illuminates the tribunal up close, both as an ethnographer and a sympathetic participant. In the process, she situates debates among WTI activists—a group encompassing scholars, lawyers, students, translators, writers, teachers, and more—alongside key jurists, theorists, and critics of global democracy. WTI activists confronted many dilemmas as they conducted their political arguments and actions, often facing interpretations of human rights and international law that, unlike their own, were not grounded in anti-imperialism. Çubukçu approaches this conflict by broadening her lens, incorporating insights into how Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the Iraqi High Tribunal grappled with the realities of Iraq's occupation. Through critical analysis of the global debate surrounding one of the early twenty-first century's most significant world events, For the Love of Humanity addresses the challenges of forging global solidarity against imperialism and makes a case for reevaluating the relationships between law and violence, empire and human rights, and cosmopolitan authority and political autonomy.

Автор: Zeegers, Krit Название: International criminal tribunals and human rights law ISBN: 9462651019 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789462651012 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 121110.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book addresses the interpretation and application of human rights norms by International Criminal Tribunals (ICTs). Such Tribunals are widely heralded as human rights defenders. At the same time, however, they employ activities that necessary entail the risk of human rights violations: they conduct criminal investigations, arrest and detain individuals, and put them on trial. This book investigates this flip-side of the ICTs' relationship with international human rights law, and focuses on the ICTs' own interpretation and application of human rights norms. First, the book addresses whether and how ICTs are bound by human rights law, since unlike states, they do not sign or ratify human rights conventions. Second, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the way in which ICTs interpret and apply human rights norms, compared to the way in which these norms are interpreted in a traditional state-context. Relying on the unique circumstances in which they operate, ICTs have often deviated from generally accepted interpretations of human rights. The author critically examines this so-called contextual approach and seeks to recommend ways in which ICTs can improve their interpretative practice by giving due regard to the context in which they operate, while still providing adequate human rights protection. Addressing the ICTs' possible leeway in terms of contextualization, this book contributes to the broader debates about adherence to human rights norms in international law. Krit Zeegers is an Associate at Allen & Overy LLP, Amsterdam, and previously worked as a researcher / junior lecturer at the University of Amsterdam.
