  • Private Law and Public Law
    Private Law and Public Law F.J.M. Feldbrugge Emeritus Professor of East European Law University of Leiden, Faculty of Law We talk about private law and public law as if everybody knew what was meant when these words are being used about law. This probably holds true for lawyers and even law students, but not for the general population. Most people will have some sort of idea about labor law, or bankruptcy law, but the distinction between private law and public law, considered as most fundamental by most lawyers, means next to nothing to the man or woman in the street. Is the problem perhaps avoidable, do we actually need the public/ private law distinction? If we do not, the matter could be left to those inclined to such intellectual pastimes. Unfortunately, the distinction between public and private law entails practical consequences, at least in continental legal systems, so it can- not be referred to the convenient and already very large file of problems that do not need a solution. To start at the simplest and most practical level: our law happens to be divided into two boxes; some of it has been put into the box marked “public law”, and the rest into the box marked “private law”, and the contents of these two boxes are treated somewhat differently. For the law student and the humble practitioner this may be enough to know. But the more discerning lawyer would of course like to know why some law goes into one box and some into the other. Two thousand years of jurisprudence—because the distinction goes back at least as far as the Romans—have produced a vast body of literature containing answers to this question.

  • Compatibility of Sharia Law with the European Convention on Human Rights: Can States Parties to the Convention Be Signatories to the “Cairo Declaration”?
    http://assembly.coe.int Doc. 14787 03 January 2019 Compatibility of Sharia law with the European Convention on Human Rights: can States Parties to the Convention be signatories to the “Cairo Declaration”? Report1 Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights Rapporteur: Mr Antonio GUTIÉRREZ, Spain, Socialists, Democrats and Greens Group Summary The Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights considers that the 1990 Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, whilst not legally binding, has symbolic value and political significance in terms of human rights policy under Islam. However, it fails to reconcile Islam with universal human rights, especially insofar as it considers Sharia law as its sole source of reference and does not recognise certain rights. The committee is therefore concerned that three Council of Europe member States – Albania, Azerbaijan and Turkey – are signatories to the 1990 Cairo Declaration, as are Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Morocco and Palestine, whose parliaments enjoy partner for democracy status with the Parliamentary Assembly. The committee considers that where human rights are concerned there is no room for religious or cultural exceptions. Member States and partners for democracy should bolster religious pluralism, tolerance and equal rights of all. Bridges of understanding between Sharia law and the European Convention on Human Rights should be created, on the prior condition of acceptance that the Convention is an international instrument binding on all States Parties. This report also addresses the actual application of Sharia principles in certain member States and makes country-specific recommendations. 1.

Mathe' the appeal was from a conviction of indecent behavior with juveniles. The defendant sought to have his conviction set aside on the ground that the repeal of the Criminal Code,2 incidental to its incorporation in the Louisiana Revised Statutes as Chapter 1 of Title 14, "acted as a legislative pardon for all offenses committed before and not tried prior to its effective date of May 1, 1950." 3 The Louisiana Supreme Court squarely rejected this argument, and Justice LeBlanc's opinion accurately states the true nature and effect of the Revised Stat- utes. Justice LeBlanc first examined the general legislative man- date under which the projet of the statutes had been prepared by the Law Institute and then looked at the title of the act adopt- ing the Revised Statutes. These significant criteria of legislative intent clearly indicated that the original statutory provisions, except as necessarily modified to remove incongruities and to organize them according to a logical pattern, were carried for- ward and continued in effect in the Revised Statutes.

The Methodology of Comparative Law Edward J. Eberle* I. INTRODUCTION In our increasingly globally linked world, comparative law needs to take on an ever more important role. With the rise of important new developments over the last thirty years, like the proliferation of the computer and the internet, global capital markets which begin in Asia and end in the United States, and the mutual trade in commodities, like oil, foodstuffs or metals, we are linked in important common ways. The computer, and especially its generation of the internet, has made us, in effect, a global village. Still, of course, there are differences among areas of the world and countries, notwithstanding the common linkages that connect us. And so, that brings us to the topic at hand: assessing the role and methodology of comparative law so that we can come up with a sound methodological framework to better understand the role of law in different countries.

The purpose of this brief essay is to illustrate how in several areas and in more aspects than one, the activities of UNIDROIT and the achievements of the Commission can be found in the same or similar, if not indeed identical, overlapping areas of study. It is not intended to attempt a comprehensive survey of past performance and ex- perience of the two norm-formulating agencies. Both are inter-governmental in their constitution, while each working group and individual member acts in a personal, independent and expert capacity, not directly under the instruction or control of any Government, nor in any representative function.

BARNETT* Perhaps the most useful function for a foreword to a sympo- sium on the "Limits of Public Law" would be to explain what is meant by "public law." If there is more than one sense of a distinction between "public law" and "private law," identifying which sense is being used in a particular instance should reduce confusion. As it turns out, there are four different ways to dis- tinguish between public law and private law that are relevant to this Symposium. I. THE RELATIONSHIP OF DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF LEGAL REGULATION TO DIFFERENT DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN "PUBLIC" AND "PRIVATE" LAW Each of the different usages of the terms public law and pri- vate law arises from a different aspect of legal regulation.' "Legal regulation" in this context means only that human conduct is being subjected to some form of regular control or constraint (including prohibiting conduct entirely) based on general rules 2 or principles.
