  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs OIGNS OF SLOW BUT DISCERNIBLE economic recovery in 1993 —such as a drop in interest rate, reduced inflation, and even a small decline in unemploy- ment — did nothing to halt the unremitting decline in the political fortunes of Prime Minister John Major's Conservative government. The Tories lost to the Liberal Democrats in by-elections for two hitherto safe parliamentary seats — Newbury in May and Christchurch in July — and in local elections in May, when the Conserva- tives lost control of all but one county council. The most likely cause of the government's unpopularity was its own disunity. Internal dissension, for example, dogged the progress of the bill to ratify the Maas- tricht Treaty on European Union. In March the government lost a key vote on the bill by 22 votes, and Major had to call for a vote of confidence in July, which did insure final ratification of the treaty. The Labor party limited itself to profiting from the government's unpopularity and to updating its image and organization. Under leader John Smith's impetus, the party's annual conference in September voted to abolish the bloc vote enjoyed by the trade unions, in a bid to enhance the party's appeal to middle-class electors. Despite appeals by the Board of Deputies of British Jews and other groups, the government's Asylum Bill, which would limit the number of political refugees admitted to Britain, was passed by the House of Commons in January. Israel and the Middle East The draft peace accord signed by Israel and the Palestinians in September was welcomed by all political parties and opened the door to a more positive stance by Britain in Middle East politics.

The decision also extends Europol's mandate to all serious cross-border crime. Europol then will find it easier to come to the assistance of member states in cross-border criminal investigations. Political agreement was also reached on an EU action plan on improving the security of explosives. This action plan is one of a raft of measures proposed by the Commission in November 2007 to combat terrorism. The plan will improve the traceability of explosives in the EU, through, for example, the setting up of an alert system when explosives are stolen in a member state. Furthermore, the Council reached a general approach on a framework decision which aims at including into EU legislation three new crimes: public provocation to commit terrorist offences, recruitment for terrorism and training for terrorism. Finally, the Council adopted a mandate to the Commission to open discussions with the United States regarding certain conditions for access to the Visa Waiver Program.

  • Ernst Hirsch Ballin, Citizen's Rights and the Right to Be a Citizen
    This article from Netherlands Journal of Legal Philosophy is published by Eleven international publishing and made available to anonieme bezoeker Ernst Hirsch Ballin, Citizen's Rights and the Right to be a Citizen Tamar de Waal Ernst Hirsch Ballin, Citizen’s Rights and the Right to be a Citizen (Brill | Nijhoff, 2014) ISBN 978-90-0422-318-9 Citizens’ Rights and the Right to Be a Citizen discusses how modern twenty-first century European societies can bridge the gap between the universality of human rights – that apply to all without distinction – and the political and social setting in which people participate in a democratic society. The author, Ernst Hirsch Bal‐ lin, was Netherlands Minister of Justice from 1989 to 1994 and 2006 to 2010 and is now professor of Human Rights Law at the University of Amsterdam and Professor of Dutch and European Constitutional Law at Tilburg University. The book springs from the inaugural address he gave in 2011 in Amsterdam, which was (in part) intended as a ‘personal statement’ (p. ix) after Hirsch Ballin’s long- standing involvement in political life came to an end. His political party (CDA, Christian-Democrats) formed a coalition government with the support of an anti- immigrant political movement (PVV, Party of Freedom). This statement resulted to be a thorough investigation of the intrinsic interconnections between democ‐ racy, the constitutional state, and international human rights. In the book, Hirsch Ballin reflects on the constitutional significance of citizenship rights against the backdrop of the ongoing migration and urbanization in the beginning of the twenty-first century.

  • RUG/DNPP/Repository Boeken/De Stranding/11. De Stranding
    227 HOOFDSTUK II De stranding Hoe het CDA de verkiezingen, de macht en de kroonprins verloor Diep in de nacht van donderdag 7 op vrijdag 8 april loopt Frits Wester in de wandelgangen van de Tweede Kamer zijn collega Jan Schinkelshoek tegen het lijf. Zijn voormalige baas, nu pers- voorlichter van minister Hirsch Baum, heeft een vraag. 'Waar benje morgen?' 'Thuis', antwoordt Wester. Op vrijdag verga- dert de Kamer niet, en hij wil een vrije ochtend nemen. 'Houje maar liever beschikbaar', zegt Schinkelshoek. 'Er staat misschien iets vervelends te gebeuren; ik kanje alleen niet vertellen wat.' Het is geen toeval dat de twee voorlichters op dat tijdstip nog in de Kamer zijn. Vanaf twee uur 's middags heeft het parlement gedebatteerd over de IRT-zaak, waarbij zowel Hirsch Ballin als minister Van Thijn zware kritiek te verduren kregen. In de loop van de avond is een motie van afkeuring ingediend tegen Hirsch BalEn. Hij is als minister vanjustitie medeverantwoordelijkvoor de falende controle op het Interregionale Recherche Team, waarover inj anuari nogal wat commotie ontstond. Het is nu drie uur. Zojuist heeft de Kamer die motie verworpen. De CDA-frac- tie heeft serieus overwogen haar te steunen en Hirsch Ballin te laten vallen, maar heeft daar op het laatste moment van afgezien. Wel komt er een parlementair onderzoek naar de opsporingsme- thoden die de recherche gebruikt in de strijd tegen de zware mis- daad, omdat er ernstige twijfel is gerezen over de toelaatbaarheid daarvan. Toen Hirsch BalEn en Van Thijn twee weken eerder, Op zi maart, een onderzoeksrapport over de IRT-zaak ontvin- gen, was meteen al duidelijk dat deze zaak ernstige politieke con- sequenties kon hebben.

    Ernst M.H. Hirsch Ballin Sophie C. van Bijsterveld* FREEDOM AND RELIGION: A PERSPECTIVE FOR THE FUTURE 1. A CONTEXT OF DYNAMICS Fundamental rights' have no conclusive outline. The dynamics of society necessitate the search for new roads in the interpretation of fundamental rights in order to meet their original purpose. Their formula- tion and subject matter must undergo continuous renewal. A survey of freedom of expression has little significance without taking into account the existence of mass media and electronic communication such as Internet. The right to family life, seemingly pertinent to a pre-eminently traditional reality, has applications which were unforseen at the time of the adoption of the guarantee. In the Western world freedom of religion, compared to other freedoms, seems to experience a period of relative calmness. Admittedly, purposeful breaches of religious freedom by public authorities are scarce and the process of secularization may diminish the sources of conflict. Nevertheless, the developments in modern Western society with regard to (freedom of) religion are not that univocal, even if we ignore the questions raised by increasing religious diversity outside Christianity. The dynamics with respect to religion become particularly apparent when the expression of religious freedom focus not only on worship, indivi- * Prof. Dr. Ernst Hirsch Ballin is Professor of International Law at Tilburg University and he is also Member of the Dutch Parliament.

  • Goed Recht. 25 Jaar Slachtofferhulp Nederland
    Goed recht Goed recht 25 jaar Slachtofferhulp Nederland 25 jaar Goed recht. 25 jaar Slachtofferhulp Nederland Slachtofferhulp Nederland Goed recht – in de zin van rechtspraak en gerechtigheid – houdt rekening met de belangen en behoeften van slachtoffers. Het is ook het goed recht van slachtoffers dat zij ondersteuning krijgen bij het verwerken en herstel- len van de gevolgen die het misdrijf, het ongeluk of een andere calamiteit teweeg heeft gebracht. Vijfentwintig jaar geleden was dat niet zo vanzelf- sprekend als nu. Deze jubileumuitgave is te beschouwen als een kroniek van de eman cipatie van het slachtoffer en de ontwikkeling van Slachtofferhulp Nederland. Het biedt een caleidoscopisch beeld van 25 jaar slachtofferzorg aan de hand van de persoonlijke bijdragen van en interviews met mensen die op een of andere manier bij slachtofferhulp betrokken zijn of zijn geweest: mede- werkers van Slachtofferhulp Nederland, vertegenwoordigers van (keten) partners, politici, wetenschappers, deskundigen uit de praktijk en uiter- aard slachtoffers.

  • Dear Professor Raja Chatila, Dear Colleague Ernst Hirsch Ballin, Dear Other Colleagues, Students and Participants from Societal Organizations
    Dear professor Raja Chatila, dear colleague Ernst Hirsch Ballin, dear other colleagues, students and participants from societal organizations, As the President of the Executive Board of Tilburg University, I am very happy to welcome you on be- half of our University. In exactly one week from now, we will be celebrating our 92nd anniversary. There- fore, we are still a very young university, even younger than this beautiful cinema, which, by the way, has showed many science fiction movies in all those years, some of which have come true and others not or not yet. As you may know, the university started as a higher education institution on economics and trade, adding law, sociology, psychology, theology, and other humanities. From the start, the university has known a very strong societal commitment, reflected in our motto ”Understanding Society.” You might think that a university so deeply specialized in the social sciences and humanities does not have much experience and expertise regarding the technological developments we are discussing to- day: robots, artificial intelligence, chatbots, and other intelligent and autonomous “machines.” Howe- ver, the reverse is true. First, our university was initially established to support the training and education of young, future lea- ders of the core industry in this region: the textile industry. In the 1970s and 80s this industry almost disappeared through a process of offshoring to low-wage countries and automation. In other words, we know how it feels to lose our machines and jobs. Fortunately, the region successfully reinvented itself and has been flourishing since. Second, 55 years ago, the brilliant mathematician and the first and only Dutch world champion chess player Max Euwe gave his inaugural lecture at our university, titled “Can computers think,” Euwe was professor of automation/computer science at our university and the head of the Computer Center, consisting of very large and, according to today’s standards, very slow mainframe computers.

Summary Terrorist Threat Assessment Netherlands 14 (DTN14) Re DTN14 Dear Ms Verbeet, Enclosed please find a summary of the 14th edition of the Terrorist Threat Assessment Netherlands (DTN). The threat level remains ‘substantial’. Strictly speaking, the period covered by DTN14 runs from 16 March to 15 June 2008, though events occurring as recently as 4 September 2008 have been included in the analysis. The DTN is drawn up four times a year by the office of the National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and covers the three months since the previous report. It is primarily intended for the Cabinet Committee on National Security. The DTN is also sent to the House’s Intelligence and Security Services Committee. Yours sincerely, Ernst Hirsch Ballin Guusje ter Horst Minister of Justice Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations Summary of the Terrorist Threat Assessment Netherlands, September 2008 (DTN14) DTN14 confirms the continued existence of a conceivable international terrorist threat to the Netherlands as a result of the film Fitna. According to intelligence gathered from a variety of sources over the past few months, the Netherlands and its foreign interests are currently among the priority targets of international jihadist networks. A relevant trend is the increasing number of reports about Western jihadists in training camps along the Afghanistan/Pakistan border.
