  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs T\wo PIVOTAL DATES IN 1992 were April 9, the date of the general election, which resulted in a close Conservative victory; and September 16 ("Black Wednesday"), when the pound sterling was forced out of the fixed-rate European Monetary System. In April the Tories, led by Prime Minister John Major, returned to power, defying the predictions of the pollsters but with a much reduced overall majority of 21. Neil Kinnock resigned as Labor leader, to be replaced by John Smith. The campaign was marked by successful and sustained Conservative attacks on Labor's alleged tax-and-spend policy. Much was also made of signs of the onset of economic recovery, but this did not materialize, and the continuing high level of interest rates (barely reduced from 10.5 percent to 10 percent in May) squeezed the life out of the faint revival in consumer spending. In fact, unemployment increased by 35,000 in the first 11 months of 1992, and manufacturing output at year-end was almost no higher than in 1979, when the Tories first came to power. The summer was spent trying to reconcile the need of the domestic economy for a looser monetary policy with the constraint imposed by membership in the Euro- pean system. This precarious balance was upset by several events: the Danish rejection of the Maastricht treaty in a referendum on June 2, a further increase in German interest rates in July, and the unilateral devaluation of the Italian lira by 7 percent early in September. The pound sterling meanwhile sank to the bottom of its permitted level against the deutsche mark.

  • Sieben Fragen Zur Echtheit Des Tagebuchs Der Anne Frank
    Sieben Fragen zur Echtheit des Tagebuchs der Anne Frank Über Anne Frank und ihr Tagebuch sind umfangreiche, wissenschaftlich gesicherte Informationen ver- fügbar. Es sind jedoch auch Websites, Bücher und Broschüren im Umlauf, in denen das Tagebuch als Fälschung bezeichnet und behauptet wird, nicht Anne Frank, sondern jemand anderes habe es ver- fasst. Auf manchen Websites wird das Gerücht gestreut, Teile des Tagebuchs seien mit Kugelschreiber geschrieben. Das Anne Frank Haus geht immer wieder und erfolgreich juristisch gegen Angriffe auf die Authentizität (Echtheit) des Tagebuchs vor. 1 Wer sind die Personen und Organisationen, die behaupten, Anne Franks Tagebuch sei eine Fälschung? 2 Warum darf man nicht behaupten, dass das Tagebuch eine Fälschung sei? Es besteht doch das Recht der freien Meinungsäußerung. 3 Woraus besteht Anne Franks Nachlass nun genau? 4 Wie und von wem wurde die Echtheit des Tagebuchs erforscht? 5 Manchmal wird behauptet, das Tagebuch enthielte auch Eintragungen mit Kugelschreiber. Stimmt das? 6 Was haben Otto Frank und das Anne Frank Haus gegen die Angriffe auf die Echtheit des Tagebuchs unternommen? 7 Warum wird so wenig gegen Websites unternommen, in denen der Holocaust geleugnet und die Echtheit des Tagebuchs in Zweifel gezogen wird? 1 1 Wer sind die Personen und Organisationen, die behaupten, Anne Franks Tagebuch sei eine Fälschung? Abgesehen von ein paar verwirrten Einzelpersonen fallen alle Personen (und Personengruppen), die bei vollem Verstand behaupten, Anne Franks Tagebuch oder Teile davon seien eine Fälschung, in die Kategorie Holocaustleugner. Diese Personen verfolgen ein politisches Ziel: Indem sie die Realität des Holocaust bezweifeln, versuchen sie zu beweisen oder glaubhaft zu machen, dass der Nationalsozia- lismus doch nicht so ein verbrecherisches System war (und ist).

  • The Legal Aspects of Cybercrime in Nigeria
    The Legal Aspects of Cybercrime in Nigeria: An Analysis with the UK Provisions BY CHIBUKO RAPHAEL IBEKWE A Thesis Submitted to the School of Law, University of Stirling for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) JULY 2015 Abstract Cybercrime offences know no limits to physical geographic boundaries and have continued to create unprecedented issues regarding to the feasibility and legitimacy of applying traditional legislations based on geographic boundaries. These offences also come with procedural issues of enforcement of the existing legislations and continue to subject nations with problems unprecedented to its sovereignty and jurisdictions. This research is a critical study on the legal aspects of cybercrime in Nigeria, which examines how laws and regulations are made and applied in a well-established system to effectively answer questions raised by shortcomings on the implementation of cybercrime legislations, and critically reviews various laws in Nigeria relating or closely related to cybercrime. This research will provide insight into current global cybercrime legislations and the shortfalls to their procedural enforcement; and further bares the cybercrime issues in Nigeria while analysing and proffering a critique to the provisions as provided in the recently enacted Nigerian Cybercrime (Prohibition and Prevention) Act 2015, in contradistinction to the existing legal framework in the United Kingdom and the other regional enactments like the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime, African Union Convention on Cybersecurity and Personal Data Protection 2014, and the ECOWAS Directive on Cybercrime 2011. ii Acknowledgement I express my special appreciation and thanks to my supervisor Dr David McArdle.

  • The Stephen Roth Institute for the Study of Antisemitism and Racism
    THE STEPHEN ROTH INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF ANTISEMITISM AND RACISM BELGIUM 2008/9 (By Prof. Joël Kotek) While Belgium witnessed a slight rise in antisemitic incidents in 2008, the number recorded in the first four months of 2009 equaled the total for the whole of 2008. The strengthening of ties between some mainstream francophone parties and Muslim immigrants was demonstrated by their joint participation in rallies, such as a pro-Hamas demonstration held on January 11, 2009. Sketches broadcast by the leading Flemish TV channel portraying Hitler in a humorous fashion were condemned by Jewish organizations as antisemitic provocation. THE JEWISH COMMUNITY Some 35,000 Jewish citizens live in Belgium out of a total population of 10 million. The two main centers of Belgian Jewry are Antwerp and Brussels. The Comité de Coordination des Organisations Juives de Belgique (Coordinating Committee of Jewish Organizations in Belgium – CCOJB) in Brussels is the community’s roof organization. The Forum Der Joodse Organisaties (Forum of Jewish Organizations; hereafter, the Forum) is the Flemish equivalent of the (now) francophone CCJOB. As the seat of the European Union and NATO, Brussels attracts Jewish organizations and institutions seeking to advocate European Jewish or Israeli interests. In Antwerp most Jewish children attend religious schools, whereas the more secular Brussels, location of the Centre Communautaire Laïc Juif, has two lay Jewish schools and a religious one. Radio Judaica, the first European Jewish radio station, is centered in Brussels. There are two monthly publications: Regards, published by the Centre Communautaire laïc Juif, and Contact J, issued by the Cercle Ben Gourion.

  • Paper Ann Braeckmandef
    Hate speech on the internet. Case study of Belgium and the Netherlands Ann Braeckman Ghent University œ Belgium Paper prepared for the section Law at the IAMCR Conference 2007, Paris, 23-25 July 1. INTRODUCTION The World Wide Web offers a wide pallet of possibilities for easy access to information. As such, it has become an important instrument to influence the public opinion. Although it is still far behind the traditional media, the impact of the internet as an information channel has increasingly expanded since the mid-1990s. The use of internet as an instrument for the dissemination of ideas and information is worldwide welcomed and recognised. On the other hand, we determine that the internet is also used for purposes contrary to respect for human values, non-discrimination, respect for others and tolerance, including the propagation of racial hatred, xenophobia, right-wing extremist ideas and related intolerance. Research has shown that racist discourse is a widespread phenomenon on the internet. For example, Surf Control , a British-based web filtering company, reported that the hate and violence sites, which they monitor, increased with 300 percent from 2000 to April 2004 (www.surfcontrol.com). Further, the Hate Directory handbook, compiled by Raymond Franklin and published every six months (last update January 15 2007) by the University of Michigan, contains 149 pages of sites of individuals and groups that, in the opinion of the author , advocate violence against, separation from, defamation of, deception about, or hostility toward others based upon race, religion, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation. In other words, the number of racist sites has grown exponentially over the years and is considered as a serious problem.
