The Centre’s State of Governance research project is devoted to providing empirical evidence and conceptual clarity about governance in Bangladesh. It seeks to demystify a contentious topic to further constructive discussion and debate. Good governance is often viewed as a means of advancing the agendas of official and multilateral development institutions. The Centre believes, however, that there is a large domestic constituency for good governance; and that governance is properly deliberated between citizens and their state rather than by the state and external institutions. The Centre’s working papers are a means of stimulating domestic discourse on governance in Bangladesh. They bring to the public domain the insights and analyses of the new generation of researchers. The initial working papers were originally developed as contributions and background papers for The State of Governance in Bangladesh 2006, the Centre’s first annual report.

  • Multi-Tiered Marriage: Ideas and Influences from New York and Louisiana to the International Community
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by bepress Legal Repository MULTI-TIERED MARRIAGE: IDEAS AND INFLUENCES FROM NEW YORK AND LOUISIANA TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY Joel A. Nichols* ABSTRACT This Article contends that American society needs to hold a genuine discussion about alternatives to current conceptions of marriage and family law jurisdiction. Specifically, the Article suggests that the civil government should consider ceding some of its jurisdictional authority over marriage and divorce law to religious communities that are competent and capable of adjudicating the marital rites and rights of their respective adherents. There is historical precedent and preliminary movement toward this end -- both within and without the United States -- which might serve as the framework for further discussions. Within the United States, the relatively new covenant marriage statutes of Louisiana, Arizona, and Arkansas provide a form of two-tiered marriage and divorce law. But there is even an earlier, and potentially more fulsome, example in New York’s get statutes. New York’s laws derive from civil statutes that deal with specific problems raised by the intersection of civil law and Jewish law in marriage and divorce situations. New York’s laws implicitly acknowledge that there are multiple understandings of the marital relationship already present among members of society. These examples from within the United States lay the groundwork for a heartier discussion of the proper role of the state and other groups with respect to marriage and divorce law. As part of that discussion, the Article contends that the United States should look outward, to the practices of other countries.

  • 1 Collect It All: Everyday Lives Turned Into Passive Signals Intelligence
    GCHQ and UK Mass Surveillance Chapter 1 1 Collect it all: everyday lives turned into passive signals intelligence 1.1 Introduction The NSA and GCHQ have stated their desire to “collect all the signals, all the time”.i To fulfil this aim, they want the ability to collect all data generated by our daily use of the Internet, phones and other technology. Through the wiretapping of international fibre optic cables, the communications of billions of people are intercepted every day. These include our personal phone calls, emails, text messages and web searches. The information provided by these communications can be broadly split into the actual content of the communication and the communications data, also called metadata, the information on when, where and to whom it was communicated. GCHQ collects both the content of communications, what is being said, and the metadata of communications. Traditionally metadata collection was perceived as less intrusive than the interception of content – reading the envelope was not as bad as opening and reading the letter. But nowadays it is widely acknowledged that metadata can provide an intimate picture of an individual’s life. We can map social relationships and traveling patterns just from metadata, without anyone looking at the contents of messages. At present, content and communications data are treated differently under the law but they can both be used to gain intrusive insights into our life. As well as collecting our personal communications data, GCHQ and the NSA have programmes that can collect data from apps, web cams and social media. The data we 1 of 16 GCHQ and UK Mass Surveillance generate will proliferate as more and more household products, from cars to fridges, use digital technology.

It questions the evolution of the court in two fields. First, it demonstrates that the court profoundly shaped the contours of the devolution process through a dynamic of ‘judicialization’. Second, this research analyzes the politicization process of constitutional justice by territorial actors. This dynamic led to the quasi- paralysis of the court from 2008 to 2012 through the ruling of the reform of the Catalan statute.

  • Criminal Procedure Code 1973, Tahsildar Ambala Was Appointed As Receiver
    Section 24—Role of Public Prosecutor and Private Counsel in Prosecution The upshot of this analysis is that no vested right is granted to a complainant or informant or aggrieved party to directly conduct a prosecution. So far as the Magistrate is concerned, comparative latitude is given to him but he must always bear in mind that while the prosecution must remain being robust and comprehensive and effective it should not abandon the need to be free, fair and diligent.So far as the Sessions Court is concerned, it is the Public Prosecutor who must at all times remain in control of the prosecution and a counsel of a private party can only assist the Public Prosecutor in discharging its responsibility. The complainant or informant or aggrieved party may, however, be heard at a crucial and critical juncture of the Trial so that his interests in the prosecution are not prejudiced or jeopardized. It seems to us that constant or even frequent interference in the prosecution should not be encouraged as it will have a deleterious impact on its impartiality. If the Magistrate or Sessions Judge harbours the opinion that the prosecution is likely to fail, prudence would prompt that the complainant or informant or aggrieved party be given an informal hearing. Reverting to the case in hand, we are of the opinion that the complainant or informant or aggrieved party who is himself an accomplished criminal lawyer and who has been represented before us by the erudite Senior Counsel, was not possessed of any vested right of being heard as it is manifestly evident that the Court has not formed any opinion adverse to the prosecution.
