▼ Although the United States government has been a strong backer of international justice for other people it continues to display inconsistencies in some of its affairs. In fact some authors have gone as far as saying that America is least qualified in the world to judge what happens in other countries. Further, as the US has held itself as a strong advocate of international justice, other countries (including African countries) use the transgressions by the United States to justify transgressions in their own countries-if America can do it why can't we do it too?Faith in the United Nations has been seriously shaken, as a result of its failure to stand up to what many consider as the American hegemony. This has brought questions about the relevancy of the UN in this contemporary age of complexity. There is a felt need by the International community to have a legal order predicated on an agreed rule of law.That there is an inextricable link between the three distinct though kindred conceptions of democracy, respect for the rule of law and human rights is incontrovertible. African countries are enjoined to espouse these ideals in their elusive search for a valid democratic order.

▼ During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the inhabitants of some parts of Europe and the North American colonies were confronted with proto-state institutional arrangements. In certain cases, they responded ambivalently. That ambivalence is at the heart of what I will call the 'limited government tradition'. The tradition's adherents thought that long historical experience, not to mention the events of their own times, provided ample evidence of the corrupting effects of power on those who wield it. Power-holders, left to their own devices, are likely to succumb to the temptations of power by exercising it arbitrarily. Where they are able to do so comprehensively and systematically, the upshot is tyranny. How, then, to ensure that state power is constituted in a manner that is inhospitable to tyranny? The tradition envisaged a range of measures, including a distinctive vision of 'the Rule of Law'. The Rule of Law would both define and enforce certain limits on state power. This study argues that the tradition's hostility to political absolutism is based on moral foundations which apply with equal force to economic power. The tradition ought to examine the modern constitution of economic power to determine whether it is hospitable to arbitrariness and tyranny. If such an examination is undertaken, we learn that modern economic power poses the kind of moral dangers that the tradition's Rule of Law project is designed to combat. However, the tradition assumes that it need not treat economic power as even a potential target of the Rule of Law. I will call that assumption the 'Consensus'. This study's first major aim is to explain the origins and stubbornness of the Consensus. Its second major aim is to persuade readers that the Consensus is mistaken: the tradition must regard economic power as, at least, a potential target of the Rule of Law.

▼ Under what conditions does the
rule of
law, especially with regards to the constraining of executive power, become institutionalized in newly liberalized countries where presidential authority has historically been greatly unchecked? This dissertation explores this puzzle by exploring two inter-related questions: first, why would a longtime ruling party acquiesce to institutional constraints being placed on the executive in the first place, and second, once implemented, why are these institutional rules able to successfully constrain leaders in some sub-Saharan states but not others? To address both questions, my dissertation investigates variation in the adoption of, and later adhe rence to, executive term limit laws and other constraints on presidential power across Africa. Based on both a medium-n quantitative analysis and extensive qualitative interview and archival data collected during eleven months of fieldwork in Uganda and Zambia, I construct an explanation that challenges previous assumptions about the development of constitutionalism in liberalizing countries. I argue that, due to the rarity of divided governments across sub-Saharan Africa, members of parliament from the ruling party ultimately choose whether or not to restrain executive tenure based on their perceptions of their party's (and, therefore, their own) electoral competitiveness. To support this argument, I develop an explanation of actor decision making that probabilistically links the relative strength of the incumbent party vis-à-vis the opposition to the outcome of term limit choice due to elite perceptions of electoral competition and its twin mechanisms of the threat of turnover and the probability of winning re-election under the banner of another party. Ruling party MPs vote to adopt and later uphold executive tenure limits in times of electoral uncertainty in order to ensure their party's ability to compete for power in the medium-term should they lose it in the short-term by removing incumbency advantage from the opposition. However, if the incumbent party is not threatened with replacement in the foreseeable future by an opposition party, ruling party MPs will not have the same incentives to favor constitutional provisions that check the executive's power and will, in fact, fo rgo or abolish term limits in order to increase their chances of riding the incumbent president's coattails to their own re-election. By locating the impetus for both institutional choice and strength in the micro -foundations of elite decision-making, I demonstrate that conventional understandings of conditions that lead to the compliance with constitutional rules in the developing world, such international donor pressures and demonstration effects, vertical accountability, pact-making, and levels of democracy in general, fail to adequately explain the variation in the ability of constitutions to regulate executive tenure across Africa. In this way, I argue that formal rules are often endogenous to the political environment in which they are created. I further…

▼ This dissertation examines how the competing tensions between human rights norms and national security threats shape nation-states' human rights practices. This research particularly focuses on the varying contexts of security threat under which governments may or may not comply with the norms of human rights. Drawing on the case of torture, one of the most contentious human rights issues in contemporary times, I apply mixed-methods approach by combining a quantitative cross-national analysis with in-depth case studies of states in times of security threat: South Korea before and after the Cold War and the United States in the post 9/11 era. In the international analysis, I analyze cross-national, time-series data of 159 sovereign states between 1981 and 2010 with a particular focus on three stages: times of peace, period of armed conflict, and post-conflict. The results indicate that torture is prevented by INGO membership and an independent judicial body in peacetime, but the factors contributing to the protection of human rights in peacetime are neutralized during armed conflicts. In the post-conflict period,
law becomes a pivotal factor to roll back practices of wartime torture: both the independent judicial body and the state's ratification of international anti-torture treaties decrease the likelihood of using torture. In the case study of South Korea, I use a process-tracing method to suggest that neither the government's signing of anti-torture treaties nor the political transition to democracy directly result in the end of torture. Rather, I reveal how the practice of torture disappears only through the persistent efforts of newly democratized governments and legal and civil society actors to establish a
rule of
law. Finally, in the case study of the United States, I examine how the established
rule of
law can be expanded to protect non-citizens who are in extraterritorial areas. I pay particular focus on the professional activism of the Guantánamo habeas lawyers that eventually expanded the jurisdiction of the United States courts to trial these non-citizen suspects housed in the Guantánamo Bay detention camp. This dissertation has strong implications for furthering our understanding of the promises and challenges of human rights in contemporary times.

▼ China's thirty years of economic development has brought on a number of crippling problems: high inequality, unbalanced development, environmental degradation and so forth. Arguably all of them coincide with China's long-enduring absence of a full-fledged legal system that could balance state power and human rights, in another word, the "rule of law". Looking into reform advancement and regression of China's legal development, this thesis argues that a "rule of law" regime as proposed by Pan Wei would either fail to come into being, or will not do the job, without constitutional and legislative reform. This thesis argues that China's centuries-old civic project is one focusing on building constitutionalism, and a Chinese Socialist Constitutional State conducive to Socialist democracy as proposed in the thesis would better reconcile the needs of the Party and society at this critical juncture, as well as in the long run.

▼ The
rule of
law forms the bedrock for societal and institutional organisation in the Western world. International actors see its establishment in developing countries as a means to facilitate wider development work and an end in and of itself. However, development of the legitimacy of the
rule of
law is not well understood, especially in post-conflict environments where it is most lacking. Despite the best efforts of international interventions, the
rule of
law is often not in the paramount position it requires: it lacks legitimacy amongst the people. To understand why this is the case there is a need for a better understanding of how interventions develop legitimacy in the
rule of
law. This research develops that understanding and asks the question ‘how does the contemporary peacebuilding agenda develop the legitimacy of the
rule of
law in post-conflict states?’
To do this the research undertakes a case study investigation of a particular intervention: the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands. Discourse and content analyses, carried out on interview transcripts and a wealth of documentation, reveal the different forces exerted by the intervention to develop legitimacy in the
rule of
law. These are interpreted through a particular lens: a modified version of Luke’s three faces of power that also draws on concepts of governmentality. A four-dimensional definition of legitimacy also allows for greater analytical depth.
The research shows that the contemporary peacebuilding agenda can do some things very well. It is especially effective at the initial response to crisis. It is after the establishment of this basic security/performance dimension of the
rule of
law that interventions begin to develop their institutional/process dimension through capacity building. Capacity building divides into three levels: the individual, the organisation, and the state. It integrates the
rule of
law across the state edifice and establishes it as a foundational element of the system. However, the most important aspect of building legitimacy is the development of shared beliefs, as it is these that establish what is ‘true’ amongst a society. Contemporary peacebuilding interventions portray the
rule of
law as intrinsically legitimate and the correct, rational way of organising society. This idea permeates through their structures, discourses, and methods. However, the
rule of
law is not intrinsically legitimate. It is a culturally constructed concept that in many countries is in opposition with alternative ways of organising society and resolving conflict. Developing legitimacy in the
rule of
law is then a struggle between competing organisational systems. Such conflict jeopardises gains made by interventions, as the
rule of
law is fighting an uphill battle against other internalised, and often more locally reverent, norms. If it is to establish in post-conflict environments, the
rule of
law and competing systems need to interact to produce a locally relevant, hybrid, conception of the
rule of
law. One that is recognisable to…

▼ Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) has been used around the world as a means to resolve conflict for hundreds of years, and has existed in its more modern form for more than four decades. Despite this long history and widespread use, ADR is still challenged as an illegitimate part of the justice system. This challenge has not gone unheeded and has been met with a vigorous defence. Much of the ensuing debate centres on the comparison between this ‘alternative’ form of justice and what is often called the more traditional form, adjudication. This paper addresses the longstanding claim made as part of this debate that ADR undermines the
rule of
law. Specifically, it seeks to determine whether ADR and the
rule of
law can be reconciled. It does this by firstly laying out and analysing the arguments made for and against ADR in this regard. Following this analysis, it proposes that ADR and the
rule of
law can be reconciled through the symbiotic relationship that exists between ADR and adjudication within the modern justice system. This theory is then evidenced through a case study by way of an examination of New Zealand’s restorative justice practice in the adult criminal justice system. The paper finds that ADR contributes necessary functions to the modern justice system, including the opportunity for broader justice through the wide and encompassing resolution of disputes that it can provide, and is clearly established as an essential component of the modern justice system. It concludes that ADR does not undermine the
rule of
law and these two can be reconciled.

▼ This thesis seeks to ascertain whether the rule of law limits the legislative power of State legislatures (a question posted in «em»Momcilovic v The Queen«/em» (2011) 245 CLR 1). It argues that the rule of law, understood as a legal principle, is not presently recognised as a constraint on the capacity of the New South Wales Legislature. It further argues that it is unlikely that the rule of law will be recognised as such a constraint.«br /» «br /» This thesis starts with consideration of the concept of the rule of law. It surveys conceptions of the rule of law that have informed Australian jurists and conceptions advanced by those jurists. It does so to show how theoretical conceptions have informed judicial consideration of the rule of law. It also surveys the aspects and requirements of the rule of law that have been recognised by the High Court of Australia. It demonstrates that those aspects correspond to the theoretical conceptions. It also distinguishes those aspects and requirements connected to legality from other identified aspects and requirements.«br /» «br /» This thesis then shows that the rule of law has not been recognised as a constraint on the power conferred on the New South Wales Legislature by the «em»Constitution Act 1902«/em» (NSW). It examines the constraints imposed by the «em»Constitution Act 1902«/em» and the «em»Commonwealth of Australia Constitution«/em».«br /» «br /» In light of the conclusion that the rule of law is not a recognised constraint, this thesis assesses whether the rule of law might be recognised as such a constraint. It evaluates the possibility that the «em»Commonwealth Constitution«/em» might provide a basis for the imposition of the rule of law. To do so, it considers Justice Dixon’s acknowledgement, in «em»Australian Communist Party v Commonwealth«/em» (1951) 83 CLR 1, that the rule of law is a traditional conception assumed by the «em»Commonwealth Constitution«/em». It also examines the relationship between the rule of law and Chapter III of the «em»Commonwealth Constitution«/em» and the implications that relationship might have for State legislatures. It shows that any constraint derived from Chapter III of the «em»Commonwealth Constitution«/em» is unlikely to extend beyond securing the legality of governmental action. This thesis also assesses whether the common law is capable of imposing the rule of law as a constraint on legislative capacity. It shows that such a constraint will be weak in the face of considered action by a State legislature. Ultimately, this thesis argues that the rule of law is only likely to be recognised as a constraint when a court is confronted with an extreme law.

A Normative Framework for Public Health Law.

▼ Public health law is in the midst of a crisis of
public confidence, which, this paper contends, has resulted from
the lack of a thorough normative framework to ground public health
law. This paper attempts to fill this gap by articulating a
normative framework for public health law, situating it within a
rule of law tradition in a limited, democratic state. This paper
proceeds in three parts: it begins with a descriptive analysis of
public health law; it examines the normative theories of rule of
law and liberty; and, it examines public health law in light of the
normative theories. This paper concludes that public health law,
conceived as government interference, is consistent with rule of
law and liberty and that rule of law and liberty help provide
public health law with a normative framework.

▼ The rule of law is declared to be a foundational and guiding value of the European Union in Article 2 Treaty on European Union. The European Commission claims to be the 'guardian of the rule of law', and the concept has been determinative in judgments in the Court of Justice of the EU. However, the EU has not defined what exactly is meant by 'the rule of law'. This leads to the question: how can the EU claim to be guided by the rule of law, 'common to all Member States', but not provide an account of what that means in practice? To determine such an account, I examine contemporary accounts of the rule of law and identify the specific nature of the EU. I conclude that while the rule of law is a shared value across legal systems, distinct accounts develop within, and adapt to, each one. I advance an EU-centric account of the rule of law (EUCA) which is apt for the EU legal order. I advocate the value of EUCA first in abstract by providing reasons for why it is to the benefit of the EU Institutions, the Member States and individuals to endorse EUCA compliance. I then show the practical use of EUCA as a source of legitimacy from the perspective of Member States and individuals in the context of issues of contemporary and pressing concern in the areas of international trade, corporate taxation and the criminal law. I seek to bridge the gap between a theoretical account of the rule of law apt for the EU legal order, and the practical guidance it can provide in the resolution of crisis issues. I conclude on the essential importance of guarding, strengthening, and enhancing the rule of law throughout the EU, not just as a means of resolution in times of crisis, but as a guarantee of the future of the European Union.

▼ This thesis offers a new conceptual framework - the environmental rule of law - to describe weaknesses in the development of Indian environmental law, and uses this description to critique the dominant discourse on environmental institutional reform. A secondary framework-fragmentation is also used to supplement the analysis of Indian environmental law. Part I develops the conceptual framework of the environmental rule of law by considering the special challenges that the inherent polycentric and interdisciplinary nature of environmental law present for commonly understood rule of law values such as clarity, certainty and consistency. It also relies on Jeremy Waldron's conception of articulated governance to demonstrate that the rule of law is linked to the principle of separation of powers. This conception lays emphasis on the role of the three institutions of government - the legislature, the executive and the judiciary - in strengthening or weakening the rule of law. To determine institutional contribution to the rule of law, I develop three broad indicators to assess the legal quality of the instruments of each of these institutions of government. These indicators are: a) capacity of statutes to guide executive and judicial behaviour by goal-setting and balancing competing interests; b) the ability of the executive to make flexible yet reasoned decisions grounded in primary legislation; and c) the use of statutory interpretation and consistent standards of judicial review by the courts as they give effect to environmental rights and principles. Through the use of case studies in Part II that span environmental impact assessment, forest conservation, and indigenous rights, I demonstrate that the lack of adherence to these indicators produces a body of environmental law that is fragmented i.e. one characterised by multiple overlapping yet self-contained legal regimes with conflicting provisions and the absence of unifying norms. In Part III, I use this understanding of fragmentation to critically analyse environmental legal and institutional reform proposals. I show that existing proposals address only the structure, rather than the process of functioning of the institutions of government. The rule of law framework that I develop also has potential for application to other areas of the law.

▼ This dissertation explores the challenges that administrative reasoning places on classical theories about the nature of law or adjudication, the structure of the legal process, and the separation of powers, particularly in its relationship with legality and the active role of the administrative power in modern governance. It describes how traditional theories about the nature of law and adjudication have explicitly addressed the philosophical foundations of judicial reasoning in hard cases, but they have been oblivious about how administrative decision-makers should decide them. This dissertation argues for an eclectic model where administrative reasoning should ideally be informed by publicly validated expert knowledge that requires a moral and political compass oriented towards the fulfillment of the purposes and aspirations of a democratic polity that lives under the rule of law. To that end, it proposes that the administrative power ought to decide hard cases regardless of the empirical, theoretical or meta-interpretive nature of the disagreement they may elicit. It suggests that, unlike the judiciary, the administrative power is ideally endowed with original or delegated lawmaking authority, vested with democratic legitimacy, and equipped with specialized expertise and the procedural mechanisms to allow the active participation of the citizenry in the administrative process. Furthermore, it proposes that these features entail that administrative decision-makers should reason from principle and policy in deciding hard cases about the planning and allocation of valuable resources in a community by construing the grounds of law or deciding meta-interpretive disagreements based on publicly validated expertise. Finally, this dissertation ventures to speculate that the existence of administrative novelty may challenge the truism embraced by traditional jurisprudence according to which the solution to the tension between law’s certainty and its responsiveness is usually reserved to the interplay legislature-courts that regards the administrative power as a mere executor of legislation.

▼ This thesis explores Habermas's ideas on the inherent tension between the
rule of
law and popular sovereignty. Habermas proposes a solution to this tension by introducing his theory of co-originality. This thesis studies Habermas's account of the tension between facticity and validity and his proposal of how
law can serve as a bridge between the two principles. This thesis also provides a critical assessment of Habermas's theory by studying two specific criticisms of Habermas's theory of co-originality. This thesis ends with the conclusion that Habermas's theory is coherent, but it is not entirely convincing.

▼ This thesis investigates the underlying assumptions Athenians had about their laws: it seeks to ask what Athenians assumed their laws were for, and where they thought those laws got their authority. It neither answers nor seeks to answer the difficult question of how Athenian juries made decisions, but by focussing on Athenian conceptions of their laws it offers a tool for those who would study Athenian litigation and legislating.
These questions are first explored through a study of the responses of the restored democracy to the remnants of the Thirty’s attempts at legislating. The various and inconsistent responses made help to frame jurisprudential questions within the actions of democratic Athens.
The modern jurisprudential theory of interpretativism is used to access Athenian ideas on the principles assumed to underlie Athens’ laws, and the thesis argues that Athenians were equally likely to present arguments which rely on polis expediency as the principle underlying Athens’ laws as they were to present arguments relying on justice as that principle.
The same theoretical framework is used to explore the accepted role of morality as the principle underlying Athens’ laws and the thesis argues that though morality could be used for this purpose, such uses were rare. The thesis then explores Athens’ weak enforcement of laws and weak ideal of obedience to law as law and concludes that the enforcement of morality did not form a large part of Athenians’ assumptions about what their law was supposed to achieve or from where it drew its authority.
How far Athens recognised the authority of law via the authority of the person or body which made that law is then explored. Fourth-century Athenians are shown to have held ambivalent views about democratic law making and law makers, and the thesis concludes that democratic Athens’ respect for its ancient lawgivers came to affect its ability to fully realise its own institutions’ legislative authority.
Finally, the thesis looks at Athenian idealised views of Spartan law to clarify the questions raised in the study of Athenians’ conceptions of their own laws.

▼ The development of subjecting government procurement awards to judicial review is a relatively recent development in South African
law. It accords with a similar development in the United States, as well as South Africa's own constitutional requirements of transparency and public accountability. Given the often lucrative nature of public contracts, challenges to the lawfulness of government procurement awards have become a regular occurrence in South Africa. However, the setting aside of such an award does not automatically follow upon a finding of unlawfulness. For a number of reasons, a court may decline to set aside an unlawful government procurement award. This raises a number of interesting questions, particularly with regard to how such a decision may be reconciled with, and the implications this may have for, the principle of legality and the
Rule of
Law. This dissertation will address these issues, arguing that, ultimately, the concerns are resolved by appreciating the nature of the principle of legality, and the
Rule of
Law's place as a value in society.

▼ This thesis explores the concept of equality before the law, critiquing the claim that such a principle would either have to be purely formal and normatively inert or else be wedded to a full theory of political morality, including theories of distributive justice. Equality before the law is best seen to be grounded in the moral equality of all legal subjects. Legal equality therefore requires that legal subjects not be treated in ways that would deny theory equal moral standing. So understood, legal equality becomes the fundamental normative basis of the common law constitution. In the second half of the thesis, this general claim is applied to the concept of anti-discrimination. I argue that one of the core ways in which discrimination can be determined to be wrongful is when it fails to treat those affected as moral equals. This is one of the core wrongs that the principles of judicial review seek to capture when declaring administrative decision to be unlawful by virtue of their unreasonableness. Anti-discrimination principles, are thus key to a coherent understanding of the common law constitution,; one which seeks to protect legal subjects from adverse treatment at the hands of public decision-makers that relies on arbitrary or unjustified standards.

▼ Društvene nauke - sociologija / Social sciences -
sociology
Предмет ове докторске дисертације је утицај
друштвених услова на стварање и примену социјалног права у Србији,
на преласку из 20. у 21. век. У неколико последњих деценија у
области социјалног права мењају се закони и јавне политике са
далекосежним друштвеним последицама. Циљ овог рада је да у
друштвеном контексту оличеном у два глобална процеса (глобализација
и пост- социјалистичка трансформација) идентификује утицај
друштвених фактора на стварање и примену социјалног права.
Друштвени фактори (детерминанте) чије дејство пратимо јесу држава,
тржиште и вредности, а елите и средњи слојеви су актери чије
деловање и интересе анализирамо. Глобализација је сложен друштвени
процес повећања међузависности друштава и држава. Она има значајне
социјалне последице - нпр. повећање конкуренције доводи до појаве
нових социјалних ризика. Поред дубоких друштвених промена,
глобализација носи са собом нову идеологију, коју означавамо као
мешавину (нео)либерализма и глобализма. Нова идеологија заснована
је на идејама индивидуалне одговорности за благостање, смањеној
улози друштвене солидарности и промењеним улогама државе,
појединаца и приватног сектора у социјалној политици, те
субординацији социјалних процеса економској логици. Услед
глобализације долази и до слабљења капацитета и моћи националних
држава, посебно на периферији. Многе надлежности премештају се на
наднационалне (на пример, у склопу ЕУ интеграција) или регионалне и
локалне нивое власти (у склопу децентрализације). Простор упражњен
повлачењем државе попуњавају међународни актери. Међу њима, за
расправу о социјалном праву посебан значај имају међународне
организације као што су Светска банка, Уједињене нације са својим
агенцијама, билатерални донатори, међународне невладине
организације и Европска унија. Они имају способност да активно
утичу на креирање јавних политика и закона кроз стручну и
финансијску помоћ (у облику кредита и донација) које дају земљама у
развоју, па и Србији.

▼ This paper deals with the new Rule of Law Framework (RoLF) of the European Union (EU) from the Council of Europe’s (CoE) perspective. The European Commission was called for to provide an effective solution to the recent fundamental rights breaches in the EU member states. As a result, the EU’s rule of law initiative was started to prevent and protect member states from such breaches. Several actors were involved in the initiative: the EU included NGOs and international organisations in the process which culminated in the RoLF. The aim of the thesis is to explore the RoLF’s efficiency in the light of the fear for duplication by the CoE. The CoE being the benchmark for human rights, democracy and rule of law in Europe, have such mechanisms in place that are working and respected across Europe. The EU member states are also the member states of the CoE, so they are already bound by their obligations to the CoE conventions, mechanisms and standards. This is why the CoE observes closely the EU’s progress on fundamental rights protection. It followed and participated in the negotiation process of the rule of law initiative closely and expressed its support. Based on this process, on the existing competencies of the CoE, under the egis of co-operation this thesis aims to determine whether the RoLF is an efficient instrument in the European realm of fundamental rights protection.

▼ Hong Kong, the Special Administrative Region under “one country, two systems”, is also one region that have been under two different rulers, which returned to China 1997 after 150 years of British colonial rule. The purpose of this study is to examine if the democracy in Hong Kong differs between British and Chinese rule. The empirical material about Hong Kong will be analysed through civil society, political society and through the rule of law under British and Chinese governance. With 23 years each, from the period 1974-2020, and with a theoretical framework of criteria needed to fulfill a democracy, this study will reach a conclusion. Although the British and the Chinese had different ways of governing Hong Kong, they both received the same level of democracy.

So with the two view points In mind Ghana and Nigeria where chosen to be the area of study for this dissertation, particularly because there is avidence that suggests that within these countries the military authorities have shown considerable respect for fundamental human rights and freedoms.
The dissertation begins with a discussion of the possible reasons why the military intervene in African politico, This was considered necessary as noted nbove the list of countries that have experienced a military coup is quita extensive and so it could be said the incidence of military coups in Africa has reached alarming proportions and as such this problem merits consideration Then there follows a discussion of the legal effects of a military coup upon a legal system and the nature cf military rule

▼ A special role amongst various efforts to combat transnational criminal activity belongs to extradition, which has transformed into a form of international cooperation and became an indispensable tool for ensuring criminal responsibility in any part of the world. However, for a long period of time, an individual in the process of extradition has been treated as a passive object of intergovernmental relations which have a significant political component. In this thesis, the claim is that treatment of an individual as a rights bearer and an active subject of legal relationships among other parties of the process, combined with transfer of final decision-making right from the executive to judiciary branch of power, is capable to enable application of the Rule of law principles to particular extradition cases, limit broad discretion of decision makers and minimize political component of extradition.

▼ The Rule of Law is one of the most important, and most contested, political concepts. The ideas of thinkers-who are frequently taken to be responsible for canonical statements relating to the Rule of Law-are frequently used to illustrate the existence of similarities and differences that both identify what the Rule of Law is and delineate the conceptual boundaries of the concept. In citing these thinkers, the underlying assumption is that the Rule of Law can be seen as a single, diachronically conceivable, concept that has evolved over time. I question both of these practices. Considering Rule of Law conceptions in a superficial sense-by considering only thinkers' accounts in the absence of their authoring context-fails to appreciate nuances and inflections that can fundamentally alter perceived similarities or differences; where various canonical accounts can no longer be seen as reflecting the same ideas, the assumption of a single, evolving, idea of the concept of the Rule of Law as drawn in contemporary conceptual discourse cannot be sustained. I conduct a contextualist examination of two accounts frequently associated with the idea of the Rule of Law: Hobbes's Leviathan and Locke's Two Treatises of Government. To place these in context, I adopt a problem / solution approach. I consider their texts as reflecting solutions to problems that existed in their societies at the time they were writing. To expose the associated problems, I consider pamphlets that were popular at that time. By clearly identifying and associating the Rule of Law solutions with the relevant societal problems, a more nuanced appreciation of the accounts is achieved. By identifying inflections in Rule of Law solutions, it becomes possible to disambiguate between superficially similar ideas. By disambiguating in this way-and by illustrating superficially similar accounts are fundamentally different in their nature-I argue there is no necessary conceptual connection between the Rule of Law accounts provided by Hobbes and Locke. I also argue that this difference is sufficient to show that, at least between these two 'canonical' accounts, the assumption that the Rule of Law has evolved cannot hold; change across Hobbes's and Locke's conceptions of the Rule of Law has occurred not by evolution, but by revolution.

▼ This dissertation identifies responsive legality as a new ideal type of administrative justice that encompasses the normative logics that public officials at times draw on in twenty-first century public administration. In this ideal type, officials believe a decision is a good one if it blends
rule of
law compliance with a caring concern for substantive justice. In responsive legality, officials work to protect applicant welfare through
rule of
law conformity. They are driven by an overall sense of responsiveness, an orientation towards substantive fairness, and cognitive processes requiring the application of personal experience to verify factual truths.This discernment of responsive legality builds on over thirty-five years of socio-legal administrative justice literature, which seeks to explore the normative logics underpinning public decision making. Understanding these logics is an important socio-legal,
law-in-the-books versus
law-in-action gap study. Where the
law books tell us much about the range of formal rules drawn upon to justify administrative action, studying organisations themselves and importing related social science literature into the
law books can teach us much about a far broader set of rules – normative social rules – that underpin public decisions.Responsive legality is discerned both analytically and empirically. Following Jerry Mashaw’s approach in Bureaucratic Justice, the type explored here is partially drawn from iterations of its features in a broader public administration literature. Most particularly, it draws inspiration from Philippe Nonet and Philip Selznick’s
Law and Society in Transition. Their well-known conceptualisation of responsive
law provides relatable features that, when imported into the pre-existing influential models of administrative justice, demonstrate this unaccounted-for basis on which administrative decisions are justified. A related socio-legal bureaucratic legal consciousness body of literature also guides the conceptual elaboration of this type, particularly in pointing to the centrality of purposively driven and substantively justice-oriented
rule of
law compliance.Empirically, responsive legality is explored through the analysis of interview transcripts with government officials in the Refugee Review Tribunal of Australia. In discussing the basis for their decisions, these officials often demonstrated an orientation towards responsiveness, a concern for substantive fairness, and cognitive processes requiring the application of personal experience to ascertaining factual truths; thus, they empirically verify the real-world existence of this type. In presenting responsive legality, this dissertation is conscious of its limitations. It cannot provide an exhaustive overall account of the multiple bases on which a decision might be justified, nor does it aim to. The administrative justice literature has done much of this work already. Rather, it unearths one new type, capturing and celebrating those times when the
rule of
law meets a responsively oriented ethic of…

▼ Statutory interpretation is one of the most common tasks undertaken by Courts. Such interpretation is often necessitated by several factors that include ambiguity and omissions. Judges have over the years developed rules that are used as aids to interpretation. Yet it has been generally observed that there are inconsistencies in the manner the rules are applied and this unpredictable use of the rules has not only raised questions on their efficacy but also impedes the objectives of statutory interpretation in that it greatly lessens the certainty of the law.This work therefore endeavours to provide an evaluation of the efficacy of rules of statutory interpretation as applied in the case of Celtel Zambia Ltd (T/A Zain Zambia) V. Zambia Revenue Authority (2010/HPC/668). The case study approach is the prime methodology adopted in this paper. Specifically, the paper will analyse whether it was sound for the Court to hold that even though the law that formed the basis for collecting of the tax that was in dispute was legal, a component of the collected tax namely that relating to data transfer services, was bona vacantia, that is, without an owner.The paper is divided into five chapters with chapter one providing the background and case details. Chapters two and three provide the theories and application of the rules of statutory interpretation in Zambia while chapter four endeavours to evaluate the efficacy of the rules of statutory interpretation as applied in the case under review. Chapter five concludes the paper by recommending inter alia that judges should be slow to adopt an interpretation which tends to make any part of the statute meaningless or ineffective and that they should objectively and accurately present the real reasons for their decision as such decisions become law.

▼ The judiciary in Kenya has been progressively viewed as subservient to the executive, an upholder of state power and a poor protector of citizens’ rights. The rejection of the judiciary as an independent and impartial arbiter of disputes was a major contributor to the post-election violence experienced in December 2007 which resulted in anarchy and massive loss of lives and property. This thesis contends that there is a contextually symbiotic link between separation of powers, judicial independence and the rule of law. While focusing on the relationship between the judiciary and the executive, the research highlights the dangers of failure to maintain the appropriate balance of power between the executive, judiciary and the legislature, its ramifications to judicial independence and the rule of law. By analysing secondary data and using Kenya as a case study, this relationship is chronologically traced from the pre-colonial, colonial, independence and post-independence periods. An examination of successive constitutions exposes gaps and weaknesses in constitutional provisions guaranteeing judicial independence. Instances of violation are discussed with examples as confirmation that such protection was minimal, weak and not respected in practice. A high degree of executive intrusion, influence and control was evident inter alia in appointments, removal, funding and administration. Cumulatively, these factors contributed to the erosion of personal and institutional independence leading to drastic loss of confidence. Opportunities in terms of implemented reforms, especially the newly promulgated Constitution of Kenya 2010 are scrutinised. The thesis concludes that even though complete independence from the executive cannot be achieved nor is it desirable, more robust constitutional protection of judicial independence, coupled with a high degree of autonomy can be a strong guardian against violation. New threats are discovered. Further research, constitutional amendments and use of non-legal initiatives are proposed as key for future judicial reform.

▼ Sunset clauses are a commonly used statutory provision related to the temporary duration of various laws. Such clauses are scattered throughout the statute books. This thesis aims to shed light on the constitutional value of such clauses, in order to value them from the perspective of the separation of powers and the rule of law. We have an extant amount of literature on sunset clauses, especially regarding their utility in the United States. In the United Kingdom, we have a limited analysis with respect to specific fields, including emergency legislation. However, we lack a comprehensive analysis with regard to their constitutional value. This thesis’s analysis is conducted in three parts, separated into the historical, the positive, and the normative. All three parts of this thesis are interdependent, and the analysis of each subsequent part builds on the conclusion of its antecedent. The first part investigates the historical development of sunset clauses since the first Parliament in England. The positive analysis examines the contemporary utility of sunset clauses. Finally, the normative evaluation examines their interaction with several models of separation of powers as it values their impact on the rule of law. Depending on the separation of power model, such clauses play a role in the system of checks and balances. On the one hand, they impact the institutional relationship between the executive and legislative branches. On the other hand, they influence the interaction between the legislature and the courts. Although I acknowledge that their legislative use in limiting human rights diminishes the rule of law, they might have the exact opposite effect: on several occasions in the past, they were used to advance the rule of law, including the adoption of innovative legislation and the annulment of the death penalty. Indeed, this thesis attests to the constitutional value of sunset clauses.

▼ Under what circumstances should unwritten constitutional principles affect the validity of ordinary legislation? In this paper, the author reviews the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Canada in cases applying the unwritten constitutional principles of judicial independence and the rule of law. Based on this review, the author criticizes the Court's decision to use unwritten principles to invalidate ordinary legislation in a case relating to the remuneration of judges, but not in cases relating to access to justice. The author argues that the courts should recognize and enforce a negative duty on the part of government to avoid imposing barriers to access to justice, understood as both access to the courts and access to legal services.

▼ This thesis examines the Treason Felony Act 1848 and the issues it raised when it comes to regulating radical dissent. A detailed analysis of the Hansard debates, and State Trials in Ireland, reveals a story that transcends the accepted narrative of the Irish question. At an intrinsic level, the thesis exposes how a government, a parliament, and the courts understood their commitment to a set of inherited beliefs and long-standing principles designed to limit the exercise of (executive or judicial) power when regulating radical dissent. The analysis reveals an emerging concentration of executive power in Cabinet arising from the government’s majority, its growing alignment with the legislature, and the benign response of the courts to intrusions on the constitution and the common
law. As such the story of the Act provides valuable insights into the role
law played (or did not play) in 1848 in limiting the possibility that the exercise of power may become arbitrary when regulating radical dissent. The thesis shows that beyond its immediate focus, the Act speaks to an older narrative, one that continues to preoccupy us and that concerns the relationship between
law and power. This narrative reflects a way of thinking and arguing about
law as a system of transmitted ideals, values, beliefs, and (institutional) principles that aim to restrain arbitrary power; and which we now understand as
rule of
law, or as the thesis identifies it, the
rule of
law tradition. While elements of this research may have a contemporary resonance, its primary aim is not to draw parallels between regulating dissent today and the events of 1848. Nor is it to arrive at definitive conclusions on the broader nature of the tension between parliamentary sovereignty and the
rule of
law. Much like Thompson's conclusions on the Black Act, this episode in constitutionalism cannot carry any universal significance. Nevertheless, the Act and the case of Ireland suggest that when it comes to regulating radical dissent, it is important to acknowledge the role genealogy can play in helping us to reflect critically on how we understand the relationship between
law and power. They also show that what the
rule of
law can achieve depends, in significant part, on context rather than just the characteristics of the
law itself. Together, context and genealogy help us in defining the culture of legality we aspire to, and more importantly the outcomes we seek to achieve when we invoke the
rule of
law.

▼ What are the obstacles in the establishment of rule of law in democratizing countries? I argue that political corruption has a causal negative effect on the establishment of rule of law. I find that political and judicial corruption makes the implementation and the enforcement of the laws practically impossible. This mixed methods dissertation consists of a two-case comparative study of two new democracies, Czech Republic and Romania, with different levels of corruption and rule of law, based on field work and interviews with over 50 elites; and several cross national tests in all new democracies around the world. This dissertation makes both a theoretical contribution to the study of establishment of rule of law, by hypothesizing the negative impact of corruption on this process, and an empirical contribution by thoroughly testing the hypothesis within cases and cross-nationally.
