His Excellency Mr. Chou En-lai, Prime Minister of the People's Republic of China, Peking. My clear Prime Minister, My Government is sending you separately, through our Ambassador in Peking, a reply to the note of the Chinese Government which was handed to the Indian Embassy on the 26th December 1959. I confess that I do not particularly like this long dis­ tance correspondence which consists of a reaffirmation of our respective views, and yet there is no escape from this when questions of far-reaching importance are raised between Governments and statements made which cannot be accepted. You were good enough to suggest that we should meet to discuss these matters and, so far as we are concerned, it has been our consistent policy to welcome such meet­ ings and informal approaches which sometimes lead to helpful results. But I found that the respective view- 142 oints of our two Governments, in regard to the matters nder discussion, were so wide apart and opposed to ach other that there was little ground left for useful ilks.

  • Page 1 Halsbury's Laws of England (3) RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE
    Page 1 Halsbury's Laws of England (3) RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CROWN AND THE JUDICIARY 133. The monarch as the source of justice. The constitutional status of the judiciary is underpinned by its origins in the royal prerogative and its legal relationship with the Crown, dating from the medieval period when the prerogatives were exercised by the monarch personally. By virtue of the prerogative the monarch is the source and fountain of justice, and all jurisdiction is derived from her1. Hence, in legal contemplation, the Sovereign's Majesty is deemed always to be present in court2 and, by the terms of the coronation oath and by the maxims of the common law, as also by the ancient charters and statutes confirming the liberties of the subject, the monarch is bound to cause law and justice in mercy to be administered in all judgments3. This is, however, now a purely impersonal conception, for the monarch cannot personally execute any office relating to the administration of justice4 nor effect an arrest5. 1 Bac Abr, Prerogative, D1: see COURTS AND TRIBUNALS VOL 24 (2010) PARA 609. 2 1 Bl Com (14th Edn) 269. 3 As to the duty to cause law and justice to be executed see PARA 36 head (2). 4 2 Co Inst 187; 4 Co Inst 71; Prohibitions del Roy (1607) 12 Co Rep 63. James I is said to have endeavoured to revive the ancient practice of sitting in court, but was informed by the judges that he could not deliver an opinion: Prohibitions del Roy (1607) 12 Co Rep 63; see 3 Stephen's Commentaries (4th Edn) 357n.

  • United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Covid-19 Hon Chris Fearne, Deputy Prime Minister Malta
    United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Covid-19 Hon Chris Fearne, Deputy Prime Minister Malta Secretary General, President of the General Assembly, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen These past months have been an eye opener for us all. I believe that this year will be remembered for the hard lessons learnt, which unfortunately have come at a very high cost. It would be a disservice to all these lives lost and to all those who put so much effort into responding to this pandemic, if we did not use this opportunity for us to grow and to build back better. We will not be overcome by the fear of the unknown that this pandemic has brought, but rather it will serve us as a lesson in humility and for us all to learn and to discover lessons that we can use for future pandemics. The COVID pandemic has in fact put a spotlight on the resilience of our health systems. Quoting the UN Secretary General “we are only as strong as the weakest of our health systems.” For this reason, at the onset of the pandemic, Malta sought to quickly organise its COVID pandemic public health response team and to bolster its healthcare system. This was done in parallel with efforts to reinforce the health workforce. Malta also brought in a system of thorough surveillance, broad testing across the board including screening, as well as a symptom checker app to enable citizens to be empowered in this pandemic. Malta has maintained, in fact, one of the highest testing rates globally; and today the positivity rate for COVID-19 remains at a low 4%, even though we are in a strong and heftier second wave of the Coronavirus.

  • Cabinet Secretary for Culture and External Affairs.Dot
    Rt Hon Michael Gove MP Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Cabinet Office 70 Whitehall London SW1A 2AS __ 17 June 2020 Dear Michael In our joint statement of 14 June, which expressed disappointment in your decision not to request an extension to transition before we had an opportunity to discuss this crucial matter ahead of the high level political stocktake, we said that we would write to you on the subject of ‘rebooting’ the process of engagement between the UK and Devolved Governments on the EU-UK negotiations. This letter sets out our thinking on this important subject. We have, in the meantime, received your letter of 14 June responding to our statement. As you acknowledged, we have different views on the way forward and our governments are not going to agree on the core fundamental positions with regard to the EU-UK future relationship. To our mind, this is all the more reason for us to re-double our efforts to work together for the benefit of business and communities in all parts of the United Kingdom, particularly as the option of an extension will no longer be open to the UK after the end of this month. It was because of the immutability of that deadline within the Withdrawal Agreement that we were so disappointed that the final decision was taken in advance of the meeting. While we have had the opportunity to register our views on this issue on several occasions, we would point out the difference between the quantity of meetings and other contacts between our administrations, and the quality of the engagement.
