Throughout the past decades, Māori has been heavily over-represented in the New Zealand criminal justice system. Māori is significantly more likely to be disadvantaged by various risk factors which are linked to criminal offending behaviours. This is not a new phenomenon towards indigenous people as it is a long-standing, wicked problem, with origins in the discriminatory colonial practices. Based on Statistic New Zealand, Maori are 15 percentage of the New Zealand population and yet Maori accounted
The Te Tiriti o Waitangi was a contract that Maori people believe to be an acknowledgement of their existence and their prior occupation to the land, give respect to their language, culture and belief and “it established the regime not for uni-culturalism, but for bi-culturalism” (Sorrenson, 2004 p. 162). This essay discusses the historical events, attitudes and beliefs regarding Te reo Maori, its relationship to the Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the significance of bicultural practice in early childhood
Maori Land Issues It^s a known fact that land issues have always been a major topic within Maori and Pakeha race relations in New Zealand. The disputes go back to the 1800 when the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840. According to the second article of the Treaty, land could only be sold to the Crown if the owners wished to sell them. Disputes over the government^s attempts to buy more land at very cheap prices that were below the value of the land was one of the many reasons that

Non pas que l'historique doive juger selon les critères du droit, mais c'est l'histoire elle-même qui devient "le tribunal du monde", et le droit lui-même doit être pensé à partir de son insertion dans l'historicité.

widely understood legal right. Consequently it is very common for legal action to be taken with regards to unfair dismissal; this is illustrated by the fact that around one in seven dismissals result in a tribunal claim (K.G Knight and P.L Latreille, ‘Discipline and complaints to employment tribunals’ British Journal of industrial relations. p541). A dismissal is defined in S.95 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (ERA) as; any termination of the employment by the employee with or without notice, expiry
What are employment tribunals? Traditionally in England and Wales disputes between employers and employees were not treated any differently than other types of legal disputes, and if the matter could not be resolved between he parties then the Employee could bring a court claim against the employer using the normal court procedures. In 1964 legislation was passed which created "Industrial Tribunals". These were panels which consisted of a legally qualified chairman, a representative of an employer's
and between Maori and Pakeha (Hemara, 2000).The Maori society during the 1830’s were one in their belief system, culture and language. Te reo is their way of cultural immersion, transmission and integration (Hayward, 2004). When the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840, Maori remained the language of the people, allowing the publication of the first Maori language newspaper. By the 1850’s the massive migration of the Pakeha exceeded the total population of the local Maori. The impact of colonosation

His prosecution is propelled by a vengeful and newly empowered Madame Defarge a "patriot of the revolution" who utilizes the revolutionary "People's Tribunals" to redress grievances committed by the Evremonde clan. Aided by her cohort (aptly given the code name of "Vengeance") retribution, not justice, is her sole concern. "...I have this race a long time on my register, doomed to destruction and extermination
The International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia On May 25, 1993, U.N. Security Council Resolution 827 established an international tribunal charged with prosecuting violations of international law arising from the armed conflicts in the former Yugoslavia. Not since the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials, following World War II has an international court tried individuals accused of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. The International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTFY), which

During the Middle Ages the influence of the Roman Catholic Church contributed to the adoption of torture by civil tribunals. The Italian municipalities adopted torture early, but it did not appear in other European countries until France legalized its use in the 13th century. Ultimately, torture became part of the legal system of every European nation except Sweden and

Darnay was a wealthy man who left France, but returned to help a former servant and " was accused by the public prosecutor as an emigrant, whose life was forfeit to the Republic, under the decree which banished all emigrants on pain of Death" (413). One way to impose revenge on the higher classes was to sentence them to death for little or no reason, which was the case with Darnay. At his second trial Darnay realized that " before the unjust Tribunal, there was little

Hébert was obviously interested in gaining political power through the general public with his pro-revolutionary views, however, eventually he was sentenced to death by the tribunal on the charge of formenting insurrection. Jacques-René Hébert provides useful information in the extract taken from "Le Père Duchesne", on the "sans-culottes".
I. INTRODUCTION The fast pace of globalization is creating serious issues and questions for many developing countries to deal with, such as should they join a free trade bloc or not? What will they gain by being a member and what will they lose? Since the creation of the European Union, first formed by 15 Western European countries and most recently expanded to 10 additional European nations, have influenced many countries around the world to follow the European example and worked together
Administrative Law in a welfare state has made "Administrative Tribunals a Necessity " Administrative tribunals are authorities outside the ordinary court system, which interpret and apply the Laws when acts of public administration are questioned in formal suits by the courts or by other established methods. They are not a court nor are they an executive body. Rather they are a mixture of both. They are judicial in the sense that the tribunals have to decide facts and apply them impartially, without
the murder of his unfaithful wife, as we find out early in the story. His tale is a sordid one, as he relates his past life, before his wedding, the meeting of his wife, their marriage, their dreadful relationship up to the murder itself and the tribunal. What is interesting in his story remains the unique perception he has on love, on marriage, and on society in general. The first important element he brings into evidence, which clearly establishes his state of mind, has to do with his motive
In the early 19th century a man by the name of Napoleon Bonaparte led a Coup D’etat that created a new government in France. This new government started out with a tribunal leadership, which Napoleon was first consul, and later changed to an empire with Napoleon as emperor. Some people believe that he made the revolution better and expanded the revolution but this is not true. The facts, when closely looked at, prove that Napoleon effectively destroyed the revolution by telling the people
nature of abundance. For example, in Antony and Cleopatra we are treated to many scenes describing the level of excess the title characters are involved in. In Act 3, scene 6 Shakespeare writes, Here’s the manner of’t: I’th’ market-place, on a tribunal silver’d, Cleopatra and himself in chairs of gold Were publicly enthron’d. At their feet sat Caesarian, whom they call my father’s son, And all the unlawful issue that their lust Since then hath made between them. Unto her He gave the stablishment
