The information includes their composition, President/Speaker, Secretary General/Clerk and complete address (including e-mail and website, where applicable). Male officers are indicated by "(M)", female by "(F)". The "Last renewal" indicates the date of election for chambers that are directly or indirectly elected, and the date of appointment for appointed chambers. The information contained in this Directory may change rapidly and frequently. Every effort has been made to cross-check the data with the parliaments concerned in order to ensure that accurate information is provided on the 188 national parliaments that existed in the world's sovereign States on 10 January 2011. At the time of going to print, 154 of those parliaments were Members of the IPU. The information contained in the Directory can also be found in the IPU’s PARLINE (Parliaments-on-line) database, from which the material has been extracted. PARLINE is accessible on the IPU’s website (www.ipu.org/parline) and is continuously updated. *** On trouvera dans la présente publication annuelle des informations de base sur les législatures/parlements nationaux*, notamment composition, nom du Président et du Secrétaire général et coordonnées (y compris adresse électronique et site internet, le cas échéant). Le nom des hommes est suivi d'un "(M)" et celui des femmes d'un "(F)". Par "Dernier renouvellement", on entend la date d'élection pour les chambres qui sont élues au suffrage direct ou indirect, et la date de désignation pour les chambres dont les membres sont nommés. Les données du présent Répertoire sont susceptibles de changer rapidement et fréquemment. Toutes les dispositions voulues ont été prises pour vérifier auprès de chacun des parlements en question l'exactitude des données de la présente édition pour les 188 parlements nationaux d'Etats souverains qui existaient dans le monde au 10 janvier 2011. A la date d'impression, ils étaient 154 à être membres de l'UIP. Les informations du Répertoire figurent aussi dans la base de données PARLINE (Parlements en ligne) de l'UIP, d'où elles sont extraites. Accessible sur le site web de l'UIP (www.ipu.org/parline-f), PARLINE fait l'objet de mises à jour constantes. * According to the IPU, a national parliament or legislature is an assembly constituted in conformity with the laws of a sovereign State, that represents the whole population of that State and no other population, functions on the territory of that State, and is endowed, according to domestic law, with legislative powers and responsibility for oversight of the Executive. Selon l'UIP, un parlement national est une assemblée constituée conformément aux lois d'un Etat souverain, qui représente toute la population de cet Etat et aucune autre population, qui fonctionne sur le territoire de cet Etat et qui est dotée, selon le droit national, de pouvoirs législatifs et d'un pouvoir de contrôle de l'action de l'Exécutif.

Salam sejahtera untuk kita semua, Pertemuan Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) ke-137 mengusung tema “Promoting Cultural Pluralism and Peace through Inter-faith and Inter-ethnic Dialogue” diselenggarakan di St. Petersburg, Rusia pada Oktober 2017. Secara global, tema tersebut sangat relevan karena terkait dengan dinamika politik yang terjadi selama tahun 2017. Di Indonesia, tahun politik diwarnai gesekan antarkelompok dan berkembangnya isu-isu SARA. Ini pelajaran berharga, mengingatkan kita semua akan pentingnya keberagaman, toleransi, dan sikap saling menghormati. Sementara itu di dunia internasional, kita dikagetkan oleh konfik yang terjadi di wilayah Rakhine, Myanmar yang menimbulkan ribuan korban jiwa dari etnis Muslim Rohingya dan ratusan ribu pengungsi. Peristiwa tersebut tidak hanya menimbulkan gejolak internasional, tetapi juga menimbulkan keprihatinan masyarakat Indonesia.

  • Legislative Chambers: Unicameral Or Bicameral?
    Legislative Chambers: Unicameral or Bicameral? Legislative Chambers: Unicameral or Bicameral? How many chambers a parliament should have is a controversial question in constitutional law. Having two legislative chambers grew out of the monarchy system in the UK and other European countries, where there was a need to represent both the aristocracy and the common man, and out of the federal system in the US. where individual states required representation. In recent years, unicameral systems, or those with one legislative chamber, were associated with authoritarian states. Although that perception does not currently hold true, there appears to be a general trend toward two chambers in emerging democracies, particularly in larger countries. Given historical, cultural and political factors, governments must decide whether one-chamber or two chambers better serve the needs of the country. Bicameral Chambers A bicameral legislature is composed of two-chambers, usually termed the lower house and upper house. The lower house is usually based proportionally on population with each member representing the same number of citizens in each district or region. The upper house varies more broadly in the way in which members are selected, including inheritance, appointment by various bodies and direct and indirect elections. Representation in the upper house can reflect political subdivisions, as is the case for the US Senate, German Bundesrat and Indian Rajya Sabha. Bicameral systems tend to occur in federal states, because of that system’s two-tiered power structure. Where subdivisions are drawn to coincide with other important societal units, the upper house can serve to represent ethnic, religious or tribal groupings, as in India or Ethiopia.

INTRODUCTION This article will look at the way in which new religions were introduced first from Britain and Europe and then later from the United States of America into all island countries of the South Pacific during the nineteenth century. The next part will examine the extent to which the laws of those countries provide freedom of religion and it will then consider certain legal and sociological limitations upon the actual practice of religion in these same countries. The article will conclude by looking to the future and trying to suggest ways to ease the tension that exists between individual freedom to practice the religion of his or her choice and community concern for preserving peace and harmony in the community.
