John Hopkins 239 Judicial Deference EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION This Special Issue of the Yearbook of New Zealand Jurisprudence has had a long gestation period. It comprises a series of themed articles on the controversial topic of Law and Security after September 11 th that have been written over the past 18 months. The project was focused around two symposiums hosted by the University of Waikato Law School and the University of Hull in August 2004 and February 2005, respectively where a number of the papers were presented and discussed. The theme was by the Ahmed Zaoui case, which has become something of a cause celebre in New Zealand, and the realization that this case was symptomatic of global changes towards law and security. The project was undertaken in collaboration with the McCoubrey Centre for International Law without whose input the project would not have been possible. It is a measure of the late Professor McCoubrey's impact that several of the authors were either fonner colleagues or students of his and it is appropriate that the centre set up in his honour should have been involved in this work. Particular thanks must go to its current Director, Dr. Richard Burchill for his efforts. The nature of this project and the discussions at the various seminars has led to a long process of publication and thanks must go to the authors for their efforts and constant attempts to keep their articles up to date. I must also thank the international panel of reviewers who gave up their time to provide valuable comments and feedback, particularly Dr. James Sweeney at the University of Newcastle for stepping into the breach at extremely short notice. The result of all these efforts is a tmly international collection of articles from leading scholars and practitioners that assess the impact of September 11 th and its aftermath from both international and domestic angles. There are two themes that run through this collection. Firstly, the growing connection between domestic Public Law and Public International Law, which makes it increasingly difficult to study one without the other. Domestic public law is increasingly driven by intemationallegal requirements (or perceived requirements) while domestic politics now, more than ever, are impacting upon the international legal order. This can be most clearly seen in the articles by Dr. Breen in relation to New Zealand and Professor Wilson on the United States. For this reason this collection presents both international and domestic responses as a first step to exploring the linkages between them. The second theme that emerges is that although September 11 th is often seen as a crucial watershed in recent political and legal history, it is far from clear that this is actually the case. For example, Professor Moir cogently argues that the Jus ad Bellum, despite impressions to the contrary, has not shifted since the response to the events of200l. Equally, much of the domestic legislation under which the 'war on terror' is being waged pre-dates 2001 while the use of executive detention is far from a novel phenomenon. What has changed is the way such legislation has been used and role of the judiciary in policing it. Whether global security has been enhanced by the responses to the events of 2001 is an open question raised by a number of the authors. Such a question is beyond the scope of this collection but it nevertheless hovers n the background. As I write this, the news reports yet another bombing in Baghdad the security of the globe certainly does not appear to have improved in the years since 2001. The rights of individuals and rule of law certainly appear much less secure than they did on September 10th 2001. It will be a long time before the events that we are living through are properly understood. This collection marks a small step on the road towards such enlightenment. It is customary in these introductions to give the reader a short resume of the papers that are to follow, but given the quality of the papers presented in this special edition and the common theme this seems an unnecessary repetition. Instead I recommend the articles contained in this edition of the yearbook to you. It's been a long time coming but I am confident that you will agree it is worth the wait. Dr. John Hopkins Editor Special Edition: Law and Security after September 11 th Yearbook of New Zealand Jurisprudence Reappraising the Resort to Force? Jus ad Bellum and the War on Terror LINnSAY MOIR* INTRODUCTION Many commentators claim that the military response to the terrorist attacks launched on 11 September 2001, encompassing action against Afghanistan and Iraq, and commonly referred to as the 'war on terror', has significantly impacted upon the international law regulating resort to armed force (jus ad bellum). Some even suggest that the operations in Afghanistan and, more especially, haq could herald a sea-change in terms of when states may - or will ­ use force, risking the very future of the UN system as we know it. I A detailed examination of the impact of these operations on the future of the UN and Security Council is beyond the scope of this article. Instead, the legality of the military action taken against Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003 will be assessed in the context of the existing legal framework, the justifications advanced and the reaction of the international community. In light of the conclusions reached, the article can then address the question of whether the right to use force in intemationallaw is truly undergoing a radical transformation. Professor Lindsay Moir, McCoubrey Centre for International Law, Law School, University ofHull, UK See, for example, Richard A. Falk, 'What Future for the UN Charter System of War Prevention?' 97 American Journal of International Law (2003) 590; Thomas M. Franck, 'What Happens Now? The United Nations After Iraq' 97 American Journal of International Law (2003) 607; Tom J. Farer. 'The Prospect for International Law and Order in the Wake of Iraq' 97 American Journal ofInternational Law (2003) 621; and Jane E. Stromseth, 'Law and Force After Iraq: A Transitional Moment' 97 American Journal ofInternational Law (2003) 628. 2 New Zealand Yearbook ofJurisprudence Vol 8.1 MILITARY ACTION AGAINST AFGHANISTAN On 7 October 2001, the US and UK launched Operation Enduring Freedom, a series of military attacks on Taliban and Al-Qaeda targets in Afghanistan.2 Despite suggestions that several alternative legal justifications could have been advanced for the strikes,3 both states relied exclusively on the right of self-defence.4 The validity of this claim depends firstly on whether the terrorist attacks of 11 September could be characterised as an armed attack for the purposes of Article 51 of the UN Charter. Article 51, however, does not entirely codify the international law of self-defence. In order to be lawful, any such action must also satisfy the requirements imposed by customary international law - Le., the use of force must also be necessary and proportionate in the circumstances.5 Was there an Armed Attack? Article 51 of the UN Charter pennits individual or collective self-defence 'if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations'. Exactly what type of activity constitutes an armed attack is not, however, free from controversy. For an exposition of the military response and events leading up to it, see Sean D.

Date of publication: 1812 Edition: 1st ed. Number of volumes: 5 CAVA OF TOLEDO. A ROMANCE. Lane, Darling, and Co. Leadenhall-Street. CAVA OF TOLEDO; OR, The Gothic Princess. A ROMANCE. IN FIVE VOLUMES BY AUGUSTA AMELIA STUART, AUTHOR OF LUDOVICO’S TALE; THE ENGLISH BROTHERS; EXILE OF PORTUGAL, &c. &c. Fierce wars, and faithful loves, And truths severe, in fairy fiction drest. VOL. I. LONDON: PRINTED AT THE Minerva Press, FOR A. K. NEWMAN AND CO. LEADENHALL-STREET. 1812. PREFACE. THE author of the following sheets, struck by the account historians have given of the fall of the Gothic empire in Spain, took the story of Cava for the foundation of a romance: whether she has succeeded or not in rendering it interesting, must be left to her readers to judge. She thinks it, however, necessary to say she has not falsified history; all relating to the war is exact: the real characters she has endeavoured to delineate such as they were; —Rodrigo—count Julian—don Palayo—Abdalesis, the Moor—queen Egilone—Musa—and Tariff, are drawn as the Spanish history represents them. Cava was never heard of from her quitting Spain with her father; of course, her adventures, from that period, are the coinage of the author’s brain. The enchanted palace, which Rodrigo broke into, is mentioned in history. Her fictitious characters she has moulded to her own will; and has found it a much more difficult task than she expected, to write an historical romance, and adhere to the truth, while she endeavoured to embellish it.

  • The Man in the Rubber Mask: the Inside Smegging Story of Red Dwarf Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    THE MAN IN THE RUBBER MASK: THE INSIDE SMEGGING STORY OF RED DWARF PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Robert Llewellyn | 352 pages | 14 May 2013 | Cornerstone | 9781908717788 | English | London, United Kingdom The Man In The Rubber Mask: The Inside Smegging Story of Red Dwarf PDF Book Sir David Attenborough. At 4 out of 5 stars I would still recommend The Man in the Rubber Mask for any diehard Dwarfer keen to further develop their knowledge of the show. Whether this is because the comedy level has increased from the previous book, or because I have become more comfortable or more at ease with the personalities of these characters, who can really say. Home 1 Books 2. While waiting in line for the ice- cream truck at around 3pm, the people ahead of him suddenly go berserk, violently attacking each other. Robert recalls the long arduous hours spent in makeup before filming could even begin and the various trials and tribulations of wearing a latex foam face mask and all over bodysuit, especially on things like his inability to eat lunch while on set. My review of book one, Dial G for Gravity can be found here. An irrelevant boop I must confess, however the lack of attention to detail rather grates on my nerves. All in all Dial G for Gravity is a pretty good space comedy, with well thought out characters and some interesting alien races in the Gloabons, Andelians and the Kreitians. Four Past Midnight Collection. Luca Rossi writes in a simple, easy to read prose that flows nicely as the characters develop and the story gradually unfolds.

  • Red Dwarf Jumpchain V1.0 by Wukong BEGINNING: This Is A
    Red Dwarf Jumpchain V1.0 By Wukong BEGINNING: This is a space adventure, but not like any you are familiar with. This is the universe of Red Dwarf. Prepare to spend the next ten years stuck on a six mile long ship, 3 million years into deep space with only the dysfunctional crew to keep you company. You have to put up with a neurotic hologram, a completely self-obsessed man who evolved from a house cat, an insane service droid, a senile AI and the slobbiest (and last) man alive. I hope you enjoy British comedy. Of course, you'll need a starting budget. Give yourself +1000CP to spend for this trip. LOCATION: You begin your journey on Red Dwarf, the day a certain David Lister is released from stasis. Your background corresponds to your method of arriving three million years in the future. Drop-In’s were locked in stasis before the crew were wiped out. Felix Sapiens are of the last generation of cat people in the cargo holds. Holograms are generated by Holly, the computer. If you are an android, then the crew picks you up a few days later from some abandoned asteroid where you ended up. BACKGROUND: This is the part where you choose your identity. Who are you in this crazy place? Age and Gender is kept from the previous jump or can be changed by paying 50CP. -Drop-In (Free): You begin as a human who once served in the Space Corp, although for some minor misdemeanour or other unusual turn of events, you were in stasis during the radiation leak.

  • The Essential Cult Television Reader
    Red Dwarf Dee Amy-Chinn Red Dwarf is the most successful and long-running comedy yet shown on BBC2. 1 First broadcast on 15 February 1988, the show was celebrated ten years later by Red Dwarf night hosted by Jean-Luc Picard himself, Patrick Stewart, a die-hard Dwarfer. The content of that evening stands as testimony to Dwarf’s achievement of cult status, demonstrating many of the features —quizzes, trivia, shared expertise—described as key features of cult TV. 2 The evening began with a spoof version of a then-popular cookery program Can’t Cook, Won’t Cook (1995-1999), in which the cast was challenged to cook a chicken vindaloo (a mouth-burningly hot curry) —the favorite dish of lead character, Dave Lister. The Dwarf version was billed as Can’t Smeg, Won’t Smeg (smeg being a generic term of abuse within the show—as in “smeg-head” 3) and given added resonance for fans as Can’t Cook, Won’t Cook ’s regular host—TV Chef Ainsley Harriot —had made a well disguised appearance as the Gelf Chief in the Season Six episode “Emohawk—Polymorph II” (6.4). This was followed by a version of another popular BBC show, a Dwarf-themed University Challenge (1962-present), in which members of the cast lost (not surprisingly) to a team of Dwarf fans. Another special, Red Dwarf A-Z saw famous fans including Stewart, Stephen Hawking, and Terry Pratchett focusing on different aspects of the show. The evening concluded with a screening of the Emmy award -winning episode “Gunmen of the Apocalypse” (6.3).
