In this updated edition of the bestselling book, Finding the Heart of the Nation, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander author Thomas Mayo gets behind the politics and legal speak to explain why the Uluru Statement from the Heart is an invitation to all Australians.   Australia is set to vote on a referendum to enshrine a First Nations voice in the constitution as a result of the 2022 federal election. In this book, Thomas focuses on the stories of First Nations People, including some new voices, looking at the truth of our past and present, and hopes for a better future. Importantly, he shares with you – the Australian public – how we all have the power to make change. The campaign for Voice Treaty Truth, starting with a referendum, is an opportunity to right some of the wrongs, give First Nations People a seat at the table, and to recognise that we are a nation with over 60,000 years of continuous culture. Completing his writing just after the 2022 federal election, Thomas has included a new introduction and conclusion, as well as a call to action for all Australians. Now in a paperback format, this collection of stories offers hope and tells us how we, as Australians, may find our collective heart.

Instant New York Times Bestseller MSNBC legal commentator Elie Mystal thinks that Republicans are wrong about the law almost all of the time. Now, instead of talking about this on cable news, Mystal explains why in his first book.“After reading Allow Me to Retort, I want Elie Mystal to explain everything I don’t understand—quantum astrophysics, the infield fly rule, why people think Bob Dylan is a good singer . . .” —Michael Harriot, The Root Allow Me to Retort is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past. Mystal brings his trademark humor, expertise, and rhetorical flair to explain concepts like substantive due process and the right for the LGBTQ community to buy a cake, and to arm readers with the knowledge to defend themselves against conservatives who want everybody to live under the yoke of eighteenth-century white men. The same tactics Mystal uses to defend the idea of a fair and equal society on MSNBC and CNN are in this book, for anybody who wants to deploy them on social media. You don’t need to be a legal scholar to understand your own rights. You don’t need to accept the “whites only” theory of equality pushed by conservative judges. You can read this book to understand that the Constitution is trash, but doesn’t have to be.

This book brings together papers that offer conceptual analyses, highlight issues, propose solutions, and discuss practices regarding privacy, data protection and enforcing rights in a changing world. It is one of the results of the 14th annual International Conference on Computers, Privacy and Data Protection (CPDP), which took place online in January 2021.The pandemic has produced deep and ongoing changes in how, when, why, and the media through which, we interact. Many of these changes correspond to new approaches in the collection and use of our data - new in terms of scale, form, and purpose. This raises difficult questions as to which rights we have, and should have, in relation to such novel forms of data processing, the degree to which these rights should be balanced against other poignant social interests, and how these rights should be enforced in light of the fluidity and uncertainty of circumstances. The book covers a range of topics, such as: digital sovereignty; art and algorithmic accountability; multistakeholderism in the Brazilian General Data Protection law; expectations of privacy and the European Court of Human Rights; the function of explanations; DPIAs and smart cities; and of course, EU data protection law and the pandemic - including chapters on scientific research and on the EU Digital COVID Certificate framework.This interdisciplinary book has been written at a time when the scale and impact of data processing on society - on individuals as well as on social systems - is becoming ever starker. It discusses open issues as well as daring and prospective approaches and is an insightful resource for readers with an interest in computers, privacy and data protection.

"A groundbreaking work of investigative journalism into the FBI's questionable counterterroism tactics, The Terror Factory exposes how the Bureau built a network of more than 15,000 informants after 9/11 whose primary purpose was to infiltrate Muslim communities to create and facilitate phony terrorist plots so that the Bureau could then claim it was winning the war on terror."--Provided by publisher.

Voter, est-ce faire quelque chose pour la justice ? Le vote ne détourne-t-il pas notre attention de l'engagement véritable ? N'y a-t-il pas des circonstances qui justifient inéluctablement la rébellion armée ? Qu'est-ce qu'être hors la loi, si ce n'est parfois réactualiser la démocratie ? En ces temps de crises politiques, l'essai La Désobéissance Civile de Thoreau se révèle intensément actuel, et donc indispensable: (Extrait): Sous un gouvernement qui emprisonne quiconque injustement, la véritable place d'un homme juste est aussi en prison. (...). Une minorité ne peut rien tant qu'elle se conforme à la majorité; ce n'est même pas alors une minorité. Mais elle est irrésistible lorsqu'elle fait obstruction de tout son poids. S'il n'est d'autre alternative que celle-ci: garder tous les justes en prison ou bien abandonner la guerre et l'esclavage, l'État n'hésitera pas à choisir. Si un millier d'hommes devaient s'abstenir de payer leurs impôts cette année, ce ne serait pas une initiative aussi brutale et sanglante que celle qui consisterait à les régler, et à permettre ainsi à l'État de commettre des violences et de verser le sang innocent. Cela définit, en fait, une révolution pacifique, dans la mesure où pareille chose est possible. En édition bilingue anglais/français, avec lecture audio intégrée: Non seulement vous pouvez lireLa Désobéissance Civile en français et en anglais, mais vous pouvez aussi écouter la lecture de cet ouvrage dans ces deux langues, grâce à votre téléphone ou tablette. L'idéal pour améliorer votre maîtrise de la langue de Henry David Thoreau... ou de Molière !

The voluntary integration of Riverside's schools in 1965 is a local story of national significance told by Arthur L. Littleworth, elected chairman of the school board at that time. While his personal reflections form the core of No Easy Way: Integrating Riverside Schools - A Victory for Community, interviews with numerous community leaders - parents, teachers and students who participated in, and were affected by this struggle bring balance to his perspective. The book, edited by Dawn Hassett, is richly illustrated by maps, original messages, including one from Ronald Reagan to Arthur L. Littleworth, and numerous historic photographs, some never before published, including that of Lowell School after the fire.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Politik - Thema: Frieden und Konflikte, Sicherheit, Note: 1,3, Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen (Politikwissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit setzt sich mit Tendenzen zur Biometrisierung in der europäischen Asylpolitik auseinander. Sie stellt sich dabei grundlegend die Frage, ob Schutzsuchende in Europa unter Generalverdacht stehen. Denn so oder so ähnlich warnen Menschenrechtsorganisationen vor den weiter zunehmenden Befugnissen der EU-Datenbank EURODAC.Die Speicherung der Daten von Flüchtlingen und Asylsuchenden dient nicht nur dem Asylverfahren an sich. Sie birgt auch die Gefahr, dass nationale Sicherheitsbehörden sie zur großflächigen Überwachung nutzen. Flüchtlinge und Asylsuchende sind gefährdet, als Kriminelle stigmatisiert zu werden und ihre Grundrechte zu verlieren.Die Erfassung durch EURODAC ist rechtlich umstritten, da sie ein großes Überwachungspotenzial bietet, Grundrechte außer Kraft setzt und sich potenziell entgrenzen kann. Prinzipiell können dann alle Einwanderer der EU erfasst werden. Es scheint sich eine ¿Datenkrake¿ zu bilden mit weitreichenden Konsequenzen für Strafbefugnis und polizeiliche Verfolgung.

What does the right to the continuous improvement of living conditions in Article 11(1) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights really mean and how can it contribute to social change? The book explores how this underdeveloped right can have valuable application in response to global problems of poverty, inequality and climate destruction, through an in-depth consideration of its meaning. The book seeks to interpret and give meaning to the right as a legal standard, giving it practical value for those whose living conditions are inadequate. It locates the right within broader philosophical and political debates, whilst also assessing the challenges to its realisation. It also explores how the right relates to human rights more generally and considers its application to issues of gender, care and the rights of Indigenous peoples. The contributors deeply probe the meaning of 'living conditions', suggesting that these encompass more than the basic rights to housing, water, food, and clothing. The chapters provide a range of doctrinal, historical and philosophical engagements through grounded analysis and imaginative interpretation.With a foreword by Sandra Liebenberg (former Member of the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights), the book includes chapters from renowned and emerging scholars working across disciplines from around the world.

This book explores a range of comparative issues in, and in the relationship between, property law and contract law in English and Spanish law. It also draws on other jurisdictions. The purpose is to give readers access to discussions of these areas of private law that are not easily accessible elsewhere. It goes further, however, than simply setting out similarities and differences: it provides an insightful analysis of key points of interest in the comparison of the legal systems discussed.

Euro 99,-ISBN 9783406782947A co-publication of C.H.BECK, Munich, Hart Publishing, Oxford, and Nomos, Baden-Baden.The BookThe paramount role of data as a resource and driver for innovation within modern digitalised societies is increasingly being acknowledged by policymakers. Consequently, states, supranational institutions, and international organisations (e.g. OECD) find themselves in a global 'competition' to devise risk-sensible approaches of data governance and thereby promote innovation to the benefit of societies. Said competition manifests in the form of Global Data Strategies, ranging between priorities of global standard-setting and suitable legal frameworks. The strategies do and will shape the political discussion and determine both the usage of data and the associated societal value. In particular, the legislative initiatives launched under the EU Data Strategy are likely to evolve into benchmarks with a global outreach.The Advantages at a Glanceconcise insights in global developments in data policycomparative and interdisciplinary perspectives on data strategiesglobal economic and social effects of data governanceThe Target GroupFor academics, politicians, policymakers, members of national and supranational public authorities as well as international institutions, attorneys, company and business association lawyers.

I interviewed eight police officers in order to learn and understand the job better. I got to not only witness the job during a ride-along, but I heard stories from other officers that truly cement how hard the job is.
