Paperback. Condition: Good. A Workshop Organised By the Citizens' Constitutional Forum, Suva, Fiji Islands, 14-15 August 1998. Foreword: A Month after Fiji's third constitution formally came into effect, the Citizens' Constitutional Forum (CCF) organised its first workshop on multiculturalism, entitled "Beyond the 1997 Constitution: Education for Multiculturalism". The resolution of Fiji's constitutional impasse and the unanimous adoption by Parliament of the multi-party negotiated 1997 Constitution reaffirmed in no uncertain terms that there was a national consensus that Fiji continue to evolve as a multiethnic society with a strong commitment to muliculturalism. 153 pages. …

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 250 pages. Dj worn and fadedWith all the openness to life, all the largeness of spirit, that made her gir lhood memoir, The Road from Coorain, an acclaimed - and beloved - bestseller, Ji ll Ker Conway continues her story. She was twenty-five when we left her, driven by a hunger to know and to understand, boarding a plane that would carry her far from her Australian homeland. As True North begins she lands, appropriately eno ugh, in a hurricane, in New York. And is soon at Harvard, a graduate student in history experiencing both exhilaration and culture shock; discovering among frie nds of many backgrounds an easier sociability than she has ever known; delightin g in classes that seem charged with energy, and in the perception that ideas wer e being taken seriously - yet still feeling like an extraterrestrial on the Amer ican planet. We see her joining with five other women to form a household that b ecomes an almost magical, hilarious, and harmonious community - the community th at functions as her family when she meets the Harvard professor and housemaster who will become her husband, John Conway, himself a historian, Canadian born and bred, decorated for heroism in World War II - the complex man whose mind and sp irit complement her own. We see them marrying and learning to live together - du ring a year at Oxford, in Rome, and as they settle into the new world of Canadia n university life - happy with each other, while coping, not always well, with h er classically obsessive thesis writing, her as-yet-unresolved conflict with her mother, his periodic bouts of depression, and her realization that even though John's integrity, courage, and devotion to humanistic learning have become the c ompass point - the true north - bywhich she steers, there will be times when she.…

Soft cover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Paperback in good condition. Minor bumping to the edges and corners. Contents tight and clean with no inscriptions or markings. Marginalized Communities and Access to Justice is a comparative study, by leading researchers in the field of law and justice, of the imperatives and constraints of access to justice among a number of marginalized communities. A central feature of the rule of law is the equality of all before the law. As part of this equality, all persons have the right to the protection of their rights by the state, particularly the judiciary. Therefore equal access to the courts and other organs of the state concerned with the enforcement of the law is central. These studies ? undertaken by internationally renowned scholars and practitioners ? examine the role of courts and similar bodies in administering the laws that pertain to the entitlements of marginalized communities, and address individuals' and organisations' access to institutions of justice: primarily, but not exclusively, courts. They raise broad questions about the commitment of the state to law and human rights as the principal framework for policy and executive authority, as well as the impetus to law reform through litigation. Offering insights into the difficulties of enforcing, and indeed of the will to enforce, the law, this book thus engages fundamental questions about value of engagement with the formal legal system for marginalized communities. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - First published in 1998, this book is an exposition of the law of defamation as it applies in those countries (excluding South Africa). It discusses or refers to hundreds of cases from those jurisdictions, as well as many important precedents from England, analysing the law and discussing how far the courts have developed their own approaches to the law, and to what extent the law reflects the values of traditional society and customary law. It thus shows how the law is being used in a field which is both intensely political and reflects important social interests. Though directed mainly at legal practitioners, teachers and students, therefore, it would be of interest to the media - the defendants in the overwhelming majority of the cases-and to scholars in the social sciences. …
