  • A YEAR in Review 2009 Welcome to Another Edition of V.Alum
    FACULTY OF LAW A YEAR IN REVIEW 2009 Welcome to another edition of V.Alum. The handsome clock pictured on the cover of this publication adorns the apex of Old Government Building, where Victoria’s Law School is situated. It reminds us all “Tempus Fugit” and as another year finishes there could be nothing more apposite. What a year it has been. We held a celebration for Richard Boast’s success at the Montana Book Awards which was attended by a wonderful cross-section of people from the University and the city. The History Department, Crown Law, the Waitangi Tribunal, the Stout Research Centre – were but a few of the institutions represented. I said then that Richard’s work was further proof of the contribution that this Faculty makes not only to the law firms of the nation but also to the analysis of the fabric of history and the evolution of nation-building itself. The following pages resonate with such activities, which engage with the past, the present and the future: research on the criminal procedures surrounding trials of sexual offences case is side-by-side with an account of a conference which celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. From the Dean From There is much to read. I hope you enjoy it and feel as proud of it as I do.

  • L'italia E L'eurovision Song Contest Un Rinnovato
    La musica unisce l'Europa… e non solo C'è chi la definisce "La Champions League" della musica e in fondo non sbaglia. L'Eurovision è una grande festa, ma soprattutto è un concorso in cui i Paesi d'Europa si sfidano a colpi di note. Tecnicamente, è un concorso fra televisioni, visto che ad organizzarlo è l'EBU (European Broadcasting Union), l'ente che riunisce le tv pubbliche d'Europa e del bacino del Mediterraneo. Noi italiani l'abbiamo a lungo chiamato Eurofestival, i francesi sciovinisti lo chiamano Concours Eurovision de la Chanson, l'abbreviazione per tutti è Eurovision. Oggi più che mai una rassegna globale, che vede protagonisti nel 2016 43 paesi: 42 aderenti all'ente organizzatore più l'Australia, che dell'EBU è solo membro associato, essendo fuori dall'area (l’anno scorso fu invitata dall’EBU per festeggiare i 60 anni del concorso per via dei grandi ascolti che la rassegna fa in quel paese e che quest’anno è stata nuovamente invitata dall’organizzazione). L'ideatore della rassegna fu un italiano: Sergio Pugliese, nel 1956 direttore della RAI, che ispirandosi a Sanremo volle creare una rassegna musicale europea. La propose a Marcel Bezençon, il franco-svizzero allora direttore generale del neonato consorzio eurovisione, che mise il sigillo sull'idea: ecco così nascere un concorso di musica con lo scopo nobile di promuovere la collaborazione e l'amicizia tra i popoli europei, la ricostituzione di un continente dilaniato dalla guerra attraverso lo spettacolo e la tv. E oltre a questo, molto più prosaicamente, anche sperimentare una diretta in simultanea in più Paesi e promuovere il mezzo televisivo nel vecchio continente.

  • Freedom of Expression in a Religious Context
    Table of Contents Freedom of expression in a religious context Conscientious objection to military service: Jehovah’s Witnesses win their case Large fine amid continuing religious censorship Censorship case to join 41 other ECtHR cases? Appeal court upholds couple's massive fines Appeals fail against illegal raids, fines Book censorship appeal still in Supreme Court As hijab spreads in Azerbaijan, covered women complain they can’t find jobs Current situation of Jehovah’s Witnesses Freedom of expression in a religious context Conviction of author and editor for article’s remarks on Islam was excessive, breached their freedom of expression Registrar of the European Court (05.12.2019) - www.echr.coe.int - In today’s Chamber judgment in the case of Tagiyev and Huseynov v. Azerbaijan (application no. 13274/08) the European Court of Human Rights held, unanimously, that there had been a violation of Article 10 (freedom of expression) of the European Convention on Human Rights. The case concerned the applicants’ conviction for inciting religious hatred and hostility with their remarks on Islam in an article they had published in 2006. The Court found in particular that the national courts had not justified why the applicants’ conviction had been necessary when the article had clearly only been comparing Western and Eastern values, and had contributed to a debate on a matter of public interest, namely the role of religion in society. Indeed, the courts had simply endorsed a report finding that certain remarks had amounted to incitement to religious hatred and hostility, without putting them in context or even trying to balance the applicants’ right to impart to the public their views on religion against the right of religious people to respect for their beliefs.

    MA thesis: Linguistics: English Language and Linguistics Sean de Goede S0871346 First reader: Tony Foster Second reader: Lettie Dorst Leiden University Faculty of Humanities Department of Linguistics 08-06-2015 Language Switches in Eurovision Song Contest Lyrics 1 The Stylistics of Language Switches in Lyrics of Entries of the Eurovision Song Contest MA thesis: Linguistics: English Language and Linguistics Sean de Goede S0871346 First reader: Tony Foster Second reader: Lettie Dorst Leiden University Faculty of Humanities Department of Linguistics 08-06-2015 Language Switches in Eurovision Song Contest Lyrics 2 Acknowledgements It did not come as a surprise to the people around me when I told them that the subject for my Master’s thesis was going to be based on the Eurovision Song Contest. Ever since I was a little boy I have been a fan, and some might even say that I became somewhat obsessed, for which I cannot really blame them. Moreover, I have always had a special interest in mixed language songs, so linking the two subjects seemed only natural. Thanks to a rather unfortunate turn of events, this thesis took a lot longer to write than was initially planned, but nevertheless, here it is. Special thanks are in order for my supervisor, Tony Foster, who has helped me in many ways during this time. I would also like to thank a number of other people for various reasons. The second reader Lettie Dorst. My mother, for being the reason I got involved with the Eurovision Song Contest. My father, for putting up with my seemingly endless collection of Eurovision MP3s in the car.
