provide insights on the need to foster mental health and Positive Youth Development identify a set of practical implications and context. This is predicated on the assumption that society is characterized by a complex reality where youth ranging between 15 and 28 years old face multiple social challenges such as the need to succeed in a highly competitive environment, cope with stress, deal with a global pandemic and subsequently flourish now and in the future as adults . Further, many youth are currently incarcerated, serving sentences and need support to become active contributors to society in the future . For example, in the United States of America approximately more than 30.000 youth are currently incarcerated . Considering that many young people are incarcerated across the globe, there is the need to have in mind the long-term detriments associated with incarceration during adolescence such as mental health disorders and the low reintegration rate. In many cases, young people experience problems with reintegration into society after their release from prison.Self-subversion is a conscious effort to understand our minds. We can make a determined effort to know the way we think. This can be done by drawing inferences from past experience.We can know why we have a fear for a particular activity or object by delving deep into the way we reacted to that fear or object. This will give us a better insight into our inner-minds. Once we understand the basic cause of the fear, we can take steps to overcome it. Do you remember your first day at school? Were you afraid to leave your mom and dad to go to a new place? After a while, you enjoyed going to school. How was this possible? By analyzing and understanding, the way you overcame this fear can help you to conquer any other fear that you have.Our behavior is highly influenced by external forces. These forces could include the various events that happen around us like violence, racism, poverty, crime, abuse and much more. They are mostly negative than positive. Like our past experience, we can also draw inference from these events. We can analyze our reaction to a particular event and then analyze the cause-effect relationship. By determining the cause and by understanding the effect, we can make a premeditated decision to overcome any negative effect of that event.Understanding our fear and taking steps to overcome them will go a long way in making us self-reliant. Our dependence on external factors and our fear or reluctance to do a certain activity will be greatly reduced. This will give us the self-confidence to achieve whatever we want.The author, a criminal lawyer, tries through this book to provide practical solutions to the problems that prisoners may face once they are released from prison in order to coexist in society without psychological problems.

An indispensable practical guide for any potential applicant and any legal professional This book, which is a practical guide aimed at both professional lawyers and potential applicants, clearly and comprehensively describes and analyses the main stages in the processing of an application before the organs of the European Convention on Human Rights. Detailed descriptions are provided of the Convention system, the Rules of the European Court of Human Rights and the procedures which the Court has developed to expedite and optimise case processing. Crafted by two specialists on the Convention, Linos-Alexandre Sicilianos, the current President of the European Court of Human Rights, and Maria-Andriani Kostopoulou, a lawyer at the Greek Court of Cassation, the book does not merely explain how to prepare and lodge an application, in particular as regards the formal requirements and admissibility criteria; it also presents a detailed assessment of a case by the various formations of the Court, covering all stages right through to the conclusion of proceedings. Finally, having analysed the judicial stage, the book goes on to describe the procedure for supervision of the execution of judgments before the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe.

S’inscrivant dans le cadre des activités de l’Observatoire juridique Natura 2000, le thème du présent ouvrage porte sur les questions juridiques que soulève l’application par le juge national – constitutionnel, administratif et judiciaire – des dispositions relatives à Natura 2000, en vue d’évaluer la contribution du juge à l’effectivité de ces dernières. Corps de règles complexe, technique, faisant appel à des concepts scientifiques ardus à interpréter pour un non-scientifique, le régime Natura 2000 n’est guère aisé à appliquer pour un juge non spécialisé. Le recours à l’expertise est souvent indispensable pour déterminer dans quelle mesure tel ou tel standard – par exemple le caractère « significatif » d’un impact – a été respecté ou non. Pour cette raison, les solutions trouvées par le juge aux différents problèmes que pose l’application du régime Natura 2000 dans les différents États membres méritent l’attention et sera enrichissante tant pour le chercheur que pour le praticien. As part of the activities of the Legal Observatory Natura 2000, this book focuses on legal issues arising from the implementation by the national courts – constitutional, administrative and judicial ones – of the provisions relating to Natura 2000, in order to assess the contribution of the judge to the effectiveness of this regime. The enforcement of this legislation, which encompasses a complex body of technical rules, grounded on scientific concepts difficult to interpret for a non-scientist, is not easy to apply by a non-specialized judge. The use of expertise is essential to determine how a particular standard – for example the «significant» character of an impact – has been met or not. For this reason, the solutions found by the judge to the various problems arising from the application of the Natura 2000 provisions in the different Member States deserve attention and will be rewarding for both researchers and practitioners.

The transformations induced by the process of “modernisation”, including in its substantive dimension, as well as recent judgments by the EU Courts, have left many lawyers and economists wary as to the standards actually governing findings of antitrust infringement under EU competition law, thereby affecting their ability to advise businesses effectively on the design of their commercial practices. While not ignoring institutional constraints, this volume revisits the notion of restriction of competition in the framework of Articles 101 and 102 TFEU with a view to taking stock of recent developments, to identifying common trends and to informing the application of core EU antitrust principles in current market contexts. Associating lawyers and economists, practitioners and academics, it seeks both to revisit long-standing theories of harm to competition and to explore novel forms of antitrust concerns.

This book is the result of a 4-year research project conducted at the Faculty of Law of the University of Luxembourg. It explores the legal value and enforceability of tax circulars and tax rulings in Luxembourg domestic law in light of the principle of legitimate expectations and related principles. After studying the historical roots of both interpretative acts, this research questions the level of protection taxpayers enjoy when relying on circulars and tax rulings and contains a review of decades of administrative case-law to assess the judicial discourse on taxpayers’ rights to certainty. This book further investigates the case of circulars and tax rulings that contain interpretations of tax laws that are contrary to the law (contra legem) and builds upon the existing normative framework to introduce proposals addressing issues of uncertainty and inequality taxpayers are likely to suffer when relying on such interpretative acts.

This book is the first to combine a legal and an economic approach to the violation of international investment law and the evaluation of their financial consequences. It is intended for arbitrators, lawyers, legal experts and financial experts. It will also be useful for academics who study this issue, which crosses disciplinary lines. The cross-disciplinary approach proposed by Mikael Ouaniche and Stéphane Prigent in this original work reflects the dual nature of the debates that irrigate the practice of State-investor arbitration, through a rigorous analysis of arbitral case law. As Laurent Jaeger, President of the French Arbitration Committee, who prefaced the book, says: “Lawyers and arbitrators will be able to improve their understanding of economic and financial valuation methods; experts will be able to improve their understanding of the underlying legal mechanisms. [...] It took all the experience and talent of Mikael Ouaniche and Stéphane Prigent to marry law, economics and finance so harmoniously”.

If the European political space has been extensively explored, research has remained all too often focused on the institutions of the European Union and the Council of Europe rather than on the actors who make Europe. This dictionary brings a new angle to scholarship on Europe by systematically investigating its actors: those who work within the institutions or in close contact with them; those who are the targets of European policies; those in the name of whom reforms are carried out; those who promote Europe and those who oppose it. It showcases a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach that bridges the usual separation between the European Union and the Council of Europe. In each entry, contributors selected among the leading specialists in their fields of research present the state of the art and the most current research perspectives on European actors. Students, teachers and researchers with an interest in Europe will find this volume to be a valuable work of reference and a source of new and stimulating ideas and perspectives on Europe. More broadly, the dictionary will appeal to ‘professionals of Europe’ eager to gain insights into their working environment as well as to readers interested in understanding Europe through its actors.

The Nuremberg Trials (Vol. 1-22) is a monumental compilation of the proceedings that followed World War II, detailing the prosecution of major war criminals from the Third Reich. This exhaustive collection spans twenty-two volumes, encapsulating the testimonies, legal arguments, and judgments that defined a pivotal moment in international law and human rights discourse. The trials are portrayed with a meticulous attention to the complexities of justice and morality, set against the backdrop of a world reckoning with the aftermath of systemic atrocities. The literary style is both formal and narrative-driven, aiming to document history while also exploring the human condition under extreme duress. The International Military Tribunal, established in 1945, comprised jurists from the Allied powers tasked with holding Nazi leaders accountable for war crimes. This groundbreaking legal experiment emerged from the devastation of the Holocaust and the fierce debates over justice versus vengeance. The tribunal not only sought to deliver justice but also laid the groundwork for future international legal standards, reflecting its authors' commitment to ensuring such atrocities would not go unpunished. This seminal collection is essential for anyone interested in law, history, and human rights. It serves as both a historical document and a moral compass, compelling readers to ponder the fragile nature of justice in the wake of unprecedented evil. The Nuremberg Trials stand as a profound reminder of humanity's responsibility to confront its darkest chapters.

On 17 December 2009, the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice of the Council of Europe adopted the Guidelines for a better implementation of the existing recommendation of the Council of Europe on enforcement. These principles aim to guarantee to all the access to an enforcement agent and a quality enforcement in the respect of the fundamental rights of the litigants. In the first part of the book, reference is made to the genesis of the CEPEJ Guidelines on Enforcement as well as to its state of application in the various Council of Europe Member States. The second part of the book deals with the problem of the evolution of technologies and aims to question how artificial intelligence can be put at the service of enforcement. In this respect, the analysis focuses on the importance of both electronic access to information and access to dematerialised information, to highlight the imperative need for a procedure for seizure of dematerialised assets and to consider drafting the a crypto-currency attachment procedure. *** Le 17 décembre 2009, la Commission européenne pour l’efficacité de la justice du Conseil de l’Europe a adopté des Lignes directrices pour une meilleure mise en œuvre de la recommandation existante du Conseil de l’Europe sur l’exécution. Ces principes visent à garantir à tous l’accès à un agent d’exécution et à une exécution de qualité dans le respect des droits fondamentaux des justiciables. Dans la première partie de l’ouvrage il est fait état de la genèse des Lignes directrices de la CEPEJ sur l’exécution ainsi que de son état d’application au sein des différents États membres du Conseil de l’Europe. La seconde partie de l’ouvrage aborde la problématique de l’évolution des technologies et vise à s’interroger sur la façon dont l’intelligence artificielle peut être mise au service de l’exécution. À cet égard, l’analyse porte sur l’importance tant d’un accès dématérialisé aux informations que d’un accès aux informations dématérialisées, pour relever l’impérieuse nécessité d’une procédure de saisie des avoirs dématérialisés et envisager l’ébauche d’une procédure de saisie des crypto-monnaies.

Essays on The Wager of Law—The Wager of Battle—The Ordeal—Torture PREFACE The history of jurisprudence is the history of civilization. The labors of the lawgiver embody not only the manners and customs of his time, but also its innermost thoughts and beliefs, laid bare for our examination with a frankness that admits of no concealment. These afford the surest outlines for a trustworthy picture of the past, of which the details are supplied by the records of the chronicler. It is from these sources that I have attempted, in the present work, a brief investigation into the group of laws and customs through which our forefathers sought to discover hidden truth when disputed between man and man. Not only do these throw light upon the progress of human development from primitive savagism to civilized enlightenment, but they bring into view some of the strangest mysteries of the human mind. In this edition I have endeavored to indicate, more clearly than before, the source, in prehistoric antiquity, of some of the superstitions which are only even now slowly dying out among us, and which ever and anon reassert themselves under the thin varnish of our modern rationalism.

This volume contains a collection of studies composed at different times over a long series of years. It treats of diverse topics: yet through many of them there runs a common thread, that of a comparison between the history and law of Rome and the history and law of England. The author has handled this comparison from several points of view, applying it in one essay to the growth of the Roman and British Empires, in another to the extension over the world of their respective legal systems, in another to their Constitutions, in others to their legislation, in another to an important branch of their private civil law. The topic is one profitable to a student of the history of either nation; and it has not been largely treated by any writers before Bryce, as indeed few historians touch upon the legal aspects of history. This is volume two out of two.

In "The Legal Subjection of Men," E. Belfort Bax presents a critical examination of the legal and social frameworks that perpetuate the subordination of men within the family and society. Employing a blend of philosophical inquiry and socio-economic analysis, Bax utilizes a clear, logical prose style that encapsulates the gender dynamics of his time while engaging with contemporary debates on marriage, paternal rights, and the legal system's treatment of men. Drawing from historical context, he challenges prevailing feminist ideologies, asserting that the legal system, under the guise of progressive reforms, often marginalizes male perspectives and autonomy. As a prominent figure in late 19th-century British socialist and feminist discourse, E. Belfort Bax's background in philosophy and political thought shaped his argumentation. His involvement with the Socialist and anarchist movements, along with his advocacy for men's rights, informs the book's context. Bax's experiences in a rapidly transforming societal landscape, characterized by shifting gender roles and rising feminist movements, inspire his inquiry into the often-overlooked consequences of legal frameworks on men, offering a counter-narrative to mainstream feminist theory. This thought-provoking work is essential for readers interested in gender studies, legal philosophy, and social criticism. It not only provides a nuanced perspective on the complexities of legal inequalities but also invites us to reconsider our understanding of gender dynamics. Whether you are a student, scholar, or a curious reader, Bax's incisive analysis will challenge your assumptions and expand your horizons on the nature of gender relations.

With the integration of these 3 Laws of Life we can understand Evolution and therefore its Purpose, answering the questions that several human disciplines (Science, Theology, Philosophy) pose separately, which furthermore seem to hit rock bottom if not answered from a Theory of Everything that integrates them: scientists should be able to accept that a Dimension of Unicity exists where there is no matter to analyse nor physical or chemical law to discover. They should be able to accept the existence of a dialogue between both dimensions which scientifically exist, and that in it is the answer to the evolution of the matter, but also to the evolution of consciousness, walking together towards the integration of Dimensions. In the same way a theologian should accept that God is a Dimension, the one of Unicity, of Everything, that has decided to venture into Duality Dimension through the creation of organic matter that flows and evolves with these 3 Laws of Life; and that the philosopher would see the purpose of existence at the core of this process of evolution and consciousness. I believe the moment to integrate them has come.

This volume contains a collection of studies composed at different times over a long series of years. It treats of diverse topics: yet through many of them there runs a common thread, that of a comparison between the history and law of Rome and the history and law of England. The author has handled this comparison from several points of view, applying it in one essay to the growth of the Roman and British Empires, in another to the extension over the world of their respective legal systems, in another to their Constitutions, in others to their legislation, in another to an important branch of their private civil law. The topic is one profitable to a student of the history of either nation; and it has not been largely treated by any writers before Bryce, as indeed few historians touch upon the legal aspects of history. This is volume one out of two.

This ebook contains Aristotle's complete works. This edition has been professionally formatted and contains several tables of contents. The first table of contents (at the very beginning of the ebook) lists the titles of all novels included in this volume. By clicking on one of those titles you will be redirected to the beginning of that work, where you'll find a new TOC that lists all the chapters and sub-chapters of that specific work. Part 1 Logic (Organon) Part 2 Universal Physics Part 3 Human Physics Part 4 Animal Physics Part 5 Metaphysics Part 6 Ethics and Politics Part 7 Aesthetic Writings Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and polymath during the Classical period in Ancient Greece. He was the founder of the Lyceum and the Peripatetic school of philosophy and Aristotelian tradition. Along with his teacher Plato, he has been called the "Father of Western Philosophy". His writings cover many subjects – including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theatre, music, rhetoric, psychology, linguistics, economics, politics and government. Aristotle provided a complex synthesis of the various philosophies existing prior to him, and it was above all from his teachings that the West inherited its intellectual lexicon, as well as problems and methods of inquiry. As a result, his philosophy has exerted a unique influence on almost every form of knowledge in the West and it continues to be a subject of contemporary philosophical discussion.Little is known about his life. Aristotle was born in the city of Stagira in Northern Greece. His father, Nicomachus, died when Aristotle was a child, and he was brought up by a guardian. At seventeen or eighteen years of age, he joined Plato's Academy in Athens and remained there until the age of thirty-seven Shortly after Plato died, Aristotle left Athens and, at the request of Philip II of Macedon, tutored Alexander the Great beginning in 343 BC.He established a library in the Lyceum which helped him to produce many of his hundreds of books on papyrus scrolls. Though Aristotle wrote many elegant treatises and dialogues for publication, only around a third of his original output has survived, none of it intended for publication. Aristotle's views on physical science profoundly shaped medieval scholarship. Their influence extended from Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages into the Renaissance, and were not replaced systematically until the Enlightenment and theories such as classical mechanics. Some of Aristotle's zoological observations found in his biology, such as on the hectocotyl (reproductive) arm of the octopus, were disbelieved until the 19th century. His works contain the earliest known formal study of logic, studied by medieval scholars such as Peter Abelard and John Buridan. Aristotle's influence on logic also continued well into the 19th century.He influenced Islamic thought during the Middle Ages, as well as Christian theology, especially the Neoplatonism of the Early Church and the scholastic tradition of the Catholic Church. Aristotle was revered among medieval Muslim scholars as "The First Teacher" and among medieval Christians like Thomas Aquinas as simply "The Philosopher". His ethics, though always influential, gained renewed interest with the modern advent of virtue ethics, such as in the thinking of Alasdair MacIntyre and Philippa Foot.

Brazil has a very peculiar tax collection power distribution and revenue sharing system, that splits three way the consumption tax, giving taxation powers over goods circulation to the States, over services to the Municipalities and over production to the Union. The Brazilian State circulation of goods tax, whose regulations require unanimity to incentives and benefits concessions, even though the 27 Brazilian States development state are disparate, generates a "fiscal war" / State competition that costs 30 billion Brazilian Reais (6 billion Swiss Francs) yearly and the attempts at settling State Competition are clearly failing, while Switzerland, which has a similar political organization, seems to have a reasonable and functional system. This dissertation, requirement for the obtaining the title of Doctor in International Tax law, takes a case study approach to compare these two systems, specifically taxable events, financial transfer mechanisms and their rules to avoid State / Canton tax competition to assess if the Swiss system for tax collection power distribution and revenue sharing is a feasible solution to reduce the adverse effects of State tax competition in Brazil.
