CONCLUSIONES RESUMEN: El incierto estatuto jurídico de la isla de Perejil, disputada por España y Marruecos, trae causa de una confusa historia que se retrotrae a los tiempos en que Ceuta pertenecía a Portugal. Por ello, para analizar los títulos españoles hay que examinar tanto los que se derivan de los actos portugueses en el islote como los desarrollados por España a lo largo de los siglos, desde el siglo XV. Y, posteriormente, es ineludible analizar la posición de Marruecos en el contencioso. Todo ello confluye en un statu quo indeterminado que se afianzó tras el incidente militar desencadenado entre España y Marruecos en 2002. PALABRAS CLAVE: Estrecho de Gibraltar; conflicto de la isla de Perejil; islote; adquisición de soberanía territorial; conquista; ocupación; prescripción adquisitiva. SPAIN AND MOROCCO IN THE STRAITS OF GIBRALTAR: THE STATU QUO OF PEREJIL ISLET ABSTRACT: The uncertain legal status of the island of Perejil, disputed by Spain and Morocco, brings about a confusing history that goes back to the times when Ceuta belonged to Portugal.

  • MOROCCO Morocco Is a Monarchy with a Constitution, an Elected
    MOROCCO Morocco is a monarchy with a constitution, an elected parliament, and a population of approximately 34 million. According to the constitution, ultimate authority rests with King Mohammed VI, who presides over the Council of Ministers and appoints or approves members of the government. The king may dismiss ministers, dissolve parliament, call for new elections, and rule by decree. In the bicameral legislature, the lower house may dissolve the government through a vote of no confidence. The 2007 multiparty parliamentary elections for the lower house went smoothly and were marked by transparency and professionalism. International observers judged that those elections were relatively free from government- sponsored irregularities. Security forces reported to civilian authorities. Citizens did not have the right to change the constitutional provisions establishing the country's monarchical form of government or those designating Islam the state religion. There were reports of torture and other abuses by various branches of the security forces. Prison conditions remained below international standards. Reports of arbitrary arrests, incommunicado detentions, and police and security force impunity continued. Politics, as well as corruption and inefficiency, influenced the judiciary, which was not fully independent. The government restricted press freedoms. Corruption was a serious problem in all branches of government. Child labor, particularly in the unregulated informal sector, and trafficking in persons remained problems. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were no reports that the government or its agents committed any politically motivated killings; however, there were reports of deaths in police custody.

  • The Wire USA Executes Mentally
    The Wire March 2006 Vol. 36. No. 02 AI Index: NWS 21/002/2006 [Page 1] USA executes mentally ill “Today, at 6pm, the State of Florida is scheduled to kill my brother, Thomas Provenzano, despite clear evidence that he is mentally ill... I have to wonder: Where is the justice in killing a sick human being?” Sister of death row inmate, June 2000 By the end of 2005, more than 1,000 men and women had been put to death in the USA since executions resumed in 1977. At least one in 10 of them were suffering from mental illness. In a report released in January, AI listed the stories of a hundred people who had been executed in the USA since 1977 despite clear evidence that they were mentally ill. People like Johnny Garrett, executed in 1992 for a murder committed when he was 17. Like many on the list, Johnny Garrett was severely physically and sexually abused as a child, leaving him brain damaged and chronically psychotic. He was described by a psychiatrist as “one of the most psychiatrically impaired inmates” she had ever examined, and by a psychologist as having “one of the most virulent histories of abuse and neglect... encountered in over 28 years of practice.” Many of the 100 suffered hallucinations or delusions as a result of their mental illness, some had serious brain damage. Yet all were judged mentally competent and able to understand the charges against them – a necessary prerequisite for a death sentence. The judge who found Thomas Provenzano competent for execution found “clear and convincing evidence that Provenzano has a delusional
