  • Sponsorship Pack the Hull Roundheads RUFC
    Sponsorship Pack The Hull Roundheads RUFC • Founded in Hull, East Yorkshire, August 2018 • AIM: joining a global community of Inclusive Rugby where men and women of any gender, sexuality and race can come together for the love of the sport and get into rugger. • CURRENTLY: At present, we are just forming a men’s team, but hopefully if demand is there, we will have a women’s team! • OPEN TO: it doesn’t matter if you’re gay, bi, straight or trans, The Roundheads is a family that brings people together for one purpose, to play rugby and to have fun playing the sport! Whether youa have played all your life or never played before, we have a coaching team that will be able to guide you through or brush up your rugby skills. WHY THE NAME ROUNDHEADS? Hull has an incredibly rich history and association with rugby, which is why we felt we needed to put the city’s stamp into the world of Inclusive Rugby. The name is a nod to our city’s history. During the English Civil War, The Ridings of Yorkshire in Northern England were all Royalists, i.e. they supported the King’s forces over Parliament soldiers aka The Roundheads so named because of the shape of their helmets. However, during this time the city’s elders refused to grant King Charles I entry into the city and slammed the gates shut and declared their allegiance and support to Parliament and Hull became the base that Oliver Cromwell launched his successful campaign to take the North and win the Civil War.

  • EU Citizenship and Withdrawals from the Union: How Inevitable Is the Radical Downgrading of Rights?
    LSE ‘Europe in Question’ Discussion Paper Series EU Citizenship and Withdrawals from the Union: How Inevitable Is the Radical Downgrading of Rights? Dimitry Kochenov LEQS Paper No. 111/2016 June 2016 Editorial Board Dr Abel Bojar Dr Vassilis Monastiriotis Dr Jonathan White Dr Katjana Gattermann Dr Sonja Avlijas All views expressed in this paper are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the editors or the LSE. The European Institute has led an LSE Commission on the Future of Britain in Europe, which has recently published a series of Reports on the issue of Britain’s membership of the European Union – available at: http://www.lse.ac.uk/europeanInstitute/LSE-Commission/LSE-Commission-on-the-Future- of-Britain-in-Europe.aspx. © Dimitry Kochenov EU Citizenship and Withdrawals from the Union: How Inevitable Is the Radical Downgrading of Rights? Dimitry Kochenov * Abstract What are the likely consequences of Brexit for the status and rights of British citizenship? Can the fact that every British national is an EU citizen mitigate the possible negative consequences of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU on the plane of rights enjoyed by the citizens of the UK? These questions are not purely hypothetical, as the referendum on June 23 can potentially mark one of the most radical losses in the value of a particular nationality in recent history. This paper reviews the possible impact that the law and practice of EU citizenship can have on the conduct of Brexit negotiations and surveys the possible strategies the UK government could adopt in extending at least some EU-level rights to UK citizens post-Brexit.

  • Human Rights and Climate Change : EU Policy Options
    DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES OF THE UNION DIRECTORATE B POLICY DEPARTMENT STUDY HUMAN RIGHTS AND CLIMATE CHANGE: EU POLICY OPTIONS Abstract Our study provides a survey of the state of the relationships currently established between human rights and climate change. It examines the external diplomacy of the European Union in the fields of human rights and climate change. The relationship between these two fields is addressed from two different perspectives: the integration of the climate change topic within EU human rights diplomacy; and the inclusion of human rights concerns within EU climate change diplomacy. We analyse its effectiveness, efficiency and the interrelationships with the EU’s external development policy by showing, where appropriate, their coordination, coherence and mutual support. In this respect, special emphasis is put on migration issues. Our study then turns the analysis towards internal EU climate change policies, which are explored from the perspective of human rights. We assess the compatibility of European Union mitigation policies with human rights and the gradual integration of the EU adaptation framework within other key European Union policies. Finally, this work concludes with a clarification of how the environmental human right to public information and participation in decision-making, which is transversal by nature, appears and may evolve in both EU internal and external climate policy. EXPO/B/DROI/2011/20 /August/ 2012 PE 457.066 EN Policy Department DG External Policies This study was requested by the European Parliament's Subcommittee on Human Rights.
