  • Secretary of State for Integration and Migration of the Portuguese Government
    Secretary of State for Integration and Migration of the Portuguese Government Regional Review of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration in the UNECE region (12 and 13 November 2020) Roundtable 1 – GCM Objectives 14, 15, 16, 19, 20 and 22 Statement “From the Floor” Portugal has worked in the field of migration for more than 20 years, developing public policies to better integrate migrants in our society, as recognized in the most recent OECD International Migration Outlook 20. Portugal stands out in the development of a whole of society approach, evolving not only the Central administration, but also the local level as well as civil society in the development of integration policies. Integration is a two-way process, where both the hosting society and migrants benefit from each other, in each territory and specific reality. The Portuguese long tradition on welcoming migrants is anchored in a policy of integration of proximity. Since 2003, with the creation of the local centres for the support of the integration of migrants, we developed a proximity service that improves the local participation and integration, allowing migrants to be part of their integration process. Today, we count with 3 national support centres and 109 local support centres spread across the country. These proximity services provide support for migrants in their integration process, namely regarding documentation, access to Portuguese language courses, housing and education. This focus on our main objective: we want to develop structural policies to reduce inequalities between migrants and nationals and to provide equal rights for every citizen that seeks our country to live and contribute, now and for the future.

  • The Role of the State Attorney General Harvard Law School Spring 2020 Peter J. Brann Lecturer in Law, Harvard Law School Fo
    The Role of the State Attorney General Harvard Law School Spring 2020 Peter J. Brann Lecturer in Law, Harvard Law School Former Lecturer in Law, Yale and Columbia Law School State Solicitor and Assistant Attorney General in Maine (1981 – 1999) James E. Tierney Lecturer in Law, Harvard Law School Former Lecturer in Law, Yale and Columbia Law School Former Director of the National State Attorney General Program at Columbia Law School (2004 – 2015) Attorney General of Maine (1980 – 1990) Note: Syllabus is subject to change depending on developing issues and the schedules of visiting speakers Introduction The roots of the Office of State Attorney General run deep in American jurisprudence. All 13 American colonies had an Attorney General and today all 50 States and the District of Columbia have opted to provide legal services through an Office of State Attorney General. Each office possesses broad jurisdiction and to varying degrees is independent from the executive branch of state government. Attorneys General in 43 states are elected statewide on a partisan basis. The combination of sweeping jurisdiction and constitutional independence has given rise to a unique American legal institution of growing importance. The course will cover the day-to-day challenges faced by Attorneys General and their staffs in delivering the high quality legal advice that will guide state government in a constitutional and ethical manner. The course will also cover the relationship of Attorneys General with the federal government, the private bar, and a myriad of advocacy organizations. It will focus on some of the most controversial legal issues affecting society today because Attorneys General operate at the intersection of law and public policy.

  • The Governor Genera. and the Head of State Functions
    The Governor Genera. and the Head of State Functions THOMAS FRANCK* Lincoln, Nebraska In most, though by no means all democratic states,' the "Head o£ State" is a convenient legal and political fiction the purpose of which is to personify the complex political functions of govern- ment. What distinguishes the operations of this fiction in Canada is the fact that the functions of head of state are not discharged by any one person. Some, by legislative enactment, are vested in the Governor General. Others are delegated to the Governor General by the Crown. Still others are exercised by the Queen in person. A survey of these functions will reveal, however, that many more of the duties of the Canadian head of state are to-day dis- charged by the Governor General than are performed by the Queen. Indeed, it will reveal that some of the functions cannot be dis- charged by anyone else. It is essential that we become aware of this development in Canadian constitutional practice and take legal cognizance of the consequently increasing stature and importance of the Queen's representative in Canada. Formal Vesting of Head of State Functions in Constitutional Governments ofthe Commonnealth Reahns In most of the realms of the Commonwealth, the basic constitut- ional documents formally vest executive power in the Queen. Section 9 of the British North America Act, 1867,2 states: "The Executive Government and authority of and over Canada is hereby declared to continue and be vested in the Queen", while section 17 establishes that "There shall be one Parliament for Canada, consist- ing of the Queen, an Upper House, styled the Senate, and the *Thomas Franck, B.A., LL.B.

  • Office of the Governor
    SUBJECT: POLITICAL SCIENCE IV TEACHER: MS. DEEPIKA GAHATRAJ MODULE: XI, GOVERNOR: POWERS, FUNCTIONS AND POSITION Topic: Office of the Governor GOVERNOR The Constitution of India envisages the same pattern of government in the states as that for the Centre, that is, a parliamentary system. Part VI of the Constitution, which deals with the government in the states. Articles 153 to 167 in Part VI of the Constitution deal with the state executive. The state executive consists of the governor, the chief minister, the council of ministers and the advocate general of the state. Thus, there is no office of vice-governor (in the state) like that of Vice-President at the Centre. The governor is the chief executive head of the state. But, like the president, he is a nominal executive head (titular or constitutional head). The governor also acts as an agent of the central government. Therefore, the office of governor has a dual role. Usually, there is a governor for each state, but the 7th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1956 facilitated the appointment of the same person as a governor for two or more states. APPOINTMENT OF GOVERNOR The governor is neither directly elected by the people nor indirectly elected by a specially constituted electoral college as is the case with the president. He is appointed by the president by warrant under his hand and seal. In a way, he is a nominee of the Central government. But, as held by the Supreme Court in 1979, the office of governor of a state is not an employment under the Central government.

COMMENTS The Constitutional Powers of the Governor and Attorney General: Which Officer Properly Controls Litigation Strategy When the Constitutionality of a State Law is Challenged? I. INTRODUCTION By 1991 La. Acts No. 26 the Louisiana legislature proposed what has been called the strictest anti-abortion law in the nation. The governor, exercising his constitutional prerogative, promptly vetoed the bill. Un- daunted by the governor's action, the legislature voted to override his veto. Opponents of the law seek to have it declared unconstitutional. The state has been forced to defend the constitutionality of the new abortion law in both state and federal court. As of this writing, the law has been held to be in violation of the United States Constitution, and the state has been enjoined from enforcing its provisions.

  • Gubernatorial Appointment Process
    GUBERNATORIAL APPOINTMENT PROCESS The selection of qualified individuals to serve in state governmental positions excepted or exempted from state civil service is a responsibility shared by the executive and the legislative branches of government. This joint participation in the appointment process is mandated by the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963, which accords the governor certain powers to appoint officials subject to the advice and consent of the Michigan Senate. Historical Developments To gain a broader perspective of the governor’s appointment powers and the use of advice and consent, it is useful to trace the historical development of the executive/legislative relationship regarding appointments. Due to the deep-seated distrust of, and contempt for, British-imposed colonial governors, many early state constitutions greatly limited the power of the office of the governor. Michigan’s first constitution (1835), however, did not follow that pattern — it gave the governor substantial power. The governor had the power to appoint the secretary of state, judges of the supreme court, the auditor general, the attorney general, and prosecuting attorneys for each county. These appointments were subject to Senate confirmation. The only state officers popularly elected were the governor, lieutenant governor, and state legislators. In contrast, the 1850 constitution reflected the influence of “Jacksonian democracy,” ultimately producing the so-called “long ballot.” Among the principles of Jacksonian democracy was the belief that public officials should be chosen by election rather than by appointment. The 1850 con- sti tution provided for the election of all principal state officials, including the secretary of state, state treasurer, attorney general, auditor general, superintendent of public instruction, regents of the University of Michigan, state board of education, and supreme court justices.

  • Ch. 3 Section 4: Life in the English Colonies Colonial Governments the English Colonies in North America All Had Their Own Governments
    Ch. 3 Section 4: Life in the English Colonies Colonial Governments The English colonies in North America all had their own governments. Each government was given power by a charter. The English monarch had ultimate authority over all of the colonies. A group of royal advisers called the Privy Council set English ​ ​ colonial policies. Colonial Governors and Legislatures Each colony had a governor who served as head of the government. Most governors were assisted by an advisory council. In royal colonies the English king or queen selected the governor and the council members. In proprietary colonies, the ​ ​ proprietors chose all of these officials. In a few colonies, such as Connecticut, the ​ ​ people elected the governor. In some colonies the people also elected representatives to help make laws and ​ ​ set policy. These officials served on assemblies. Each colonial assembly passed laws ​ ​ that had to be approved first by the advisory council and then by the governor. Established in 1619, Virginia's assembly was the first colonial legislature in ​ ​ ​ ​ North America. At first it met as a single body, but was later split into two houses. The first house was known as the Council of State. The governor's advisory council and the ​ ​ London Company selected its members. The House of Burgesses was the assembly's ​ ​ second house. The members were elected by colonists. It was the first democratically elected body in the English colonies. In New England the center of politics was the town meeting. In town meetings ​ ​ people talked about and decided on issues of local interest, such as paying for schools.

  • Dongan Charter Day Parade, July 22, 2016
    On July 22, 1686, Thomas Dongan, Governor of the Province of New York, granted Albany a city charter. The Dongan Charter strengthened the tie between Dutch Albany and the British provincial government of New York while establishing Albany as its own self-governing municipality. The Charter also legally established Albany as a separate entity from the Manor of Rensselaerwyck which surrounded it and set up a structure of that would guide the future development of the community. Albany’s long-term economic security was further secured by granting the Mayor, Alderman and Commonalty of Albany the right to purchase and then patent large acres of land; to buy and sell land outside of their domain and to grant leases. The Charter recognized Albany as a regional marketplace, giving the city the right to set up a public weigh house, establish regular market days for the barter and purchase of needed goods and to regulate trade with the local American Indians. Albany became the second city in provincial New York to receive a charter, preceded Dongan Charter. Courtesy of the Albany County by New Archival Collection. York City in April 1686. In force for over 300 years, the Dongan Charter is still relevant and vital to Albany’s self-governance. In 1998, Albany adopted a new Charter, one containing provisions that centered more on the current needs of the city, yet still incorporated the basic tenets of the original document. The most recent version of the Charter can be found at http://ecode360.com/12064948. 2016 marks the 330th anniversary of the granting of this “living” document.
