Capacity, Informed Consent and Third-Party Decision-Making
by
This Element examines three related topics in the field of bioethics that arise frequently both in clinical care and in medico-legal settings: capacity, informed consent, and third-party decision-making. All three of these subjects have been shaped significantly by the shift from the paternalistic models of care that dominated medicine in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain prior to the 1960s to the present models that privilege patient autonomy. Each section traces the history of one of these topics and then explores the major ethics issues that arise as these issues are addressed in contemporary clinical practice, paying particular attention to the role that structural factors such as bias and social capital play in their use. In addition, the volume also discusses recent innovations and proposals for reform that may shape these subjects in the future in response both to technological advances and changes in societal priorities.

La quête de l'expression optimale du droit : le langage du droit à l'épreuve du texte, essai de jurilinguistique
by
Cet essai présente une synthèse des conditions historiques ayant conduit à l’apparition de la jurilinguistique et favorisé son développement, ainsi que les fondements et les applications de cette discipline issue de l’exercice imposé de la traduction depuis la conquête de la Nouvelle-France par l’Angleterre (1759-1760). De pratique fortuite, rudimentaire et tâtonnante à ses débuts, l’activité traduisante, au Canada, a progressivement évolué en savoir-faire, puis en méthode et, enfin, au stade ultime et récent, en discipline, laquelle s’est diversifiée en s’étendant hors du champ historique de la traduction, sa source initiale et principale, pour se développer au contact de disciplines tributaires. La quête de l’expression optimale du droit expose les fondements de la jurilinguistique, savoir-faire, méthode et discipline née au Canada, de ses origines à nos jours, ainsi que le rôle que les traducteurs, puis les traducteurs juridiques, jurilinguistes avant l’heure, lui ont fait tenir dans l’évolution positive de l’expression du langage du droit.
Mastering Native American Law
by
Mastering Native American Law is designed to provide readers with an overview of the field and serve as a useful supplement to classroom instruction covering Tribal nations governance and law, federal Indian law, and Tribal Nation-state government relations. In ten chapters, the book provides the reader with a foundational understanding of core concepts stemming from American Indian and Alaska Native Tribal Nations. This third edition keeps pace with Tribal Nation legal developments in relation to policy, federal law, and court decisions, while it continues to fill a unique niche as a primary and secondary text for courses in the field. Updates are provided for key developments such as the recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions on the extent of criminal prosecutorial authority in Indian Country and the federal legislative authority for the Indian Child Welfare Act. The text also serves as a practical guide for Tribal law practitioners and lawyers that are looking to expand their knowledge of Native American law. The topics include: Native American Property Law; Criminal Jurisdiction in Indian Country; Tribal Government, Civil Jurisdiction and Regulation; Family Law in Tribal Nation Communities; Tribal Nation-State Government Relations; and Sacred Sites, Cultural Property Protection, and Repatriation. Throughout the text, explanations of the relevant interaction between the over 570 Tribal Nations, the United States federal government, and state governments are included in the various subject areas. In Chapter 10, "International Indigenous Issues and Tribal Nations," the significant evolution of collective rights in international documents is discussed in depth, as these documents have relevance for Tribal Nations in relations with the United States. Suitable for Native American law courses, law school seminars on topics in Native American Law, undergraduate and graduate level American Indian and Alaska Native Studies classes, and those interested in the field, this book provides an easy-to-read text to guide readers from the historical to the contemporary on the major aspects of Tribal Nations law and policy.

Restitution of Cultural Property and the Law
by
This book adopts a novel approach to the social question of restitution and repatriation of sacred cultural property and heritage acquired unethically during the colonial era. It uses an approach premised on better integration of law, ethics, history, anthropology, and provenance research. To bridge the material and the sacred world in adjudication and policy formulation, a common definition of what the 'sacred' denotes in the context of colonial legacies is adopted as a viable methodology. 'Sacred' loot in private and public collections is defined based on clues imparted by disputes which are paradigmatic of the fragmentation that envelops the material, the systems of knowledge associated with that material, the structure and method of international law, subject specialisations, and the legal frameworks in play. The book suggests that the Parthenon Sculptures dispute and the parallel transnational litigation in the Zhanggong Zushi Statue cases offer practical approaches for deconstructing hurdles and assumptions concerning historical claims in the secondary legal norms and tenets of PrIL. It will be of interest to researchers interested in interdisciplinary work across the humanities and social sciences, including public and private international law, cultural property law, heritage law, and provenance research and practice.
The USMCA and free trade agreements
by
The USMCA and Free Trade Agreements, 3d examines the origins of free trade agreements (FTAs) and customs unions (CUs) under Article 24 of the GATT. Presidents Trump and Biden have not been enthusiastic about free trade agreements. America’s trade partners and competitors, on the other hand, have enthusiastically secured free trade deals NOT involving the USA. The Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP-11), the Canada-EU FTA (CETA), the Japan-EU FTA, the expanded Mexico-EU FTA, the MERCOSUR-EU FTA, and the China-driven Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP 2020) in Asia provide excellent examples covered in this Concise Hornbook. The completion of BREXIT in 2020 caused the UK to seek and obtain dozens of FTA agreements with EU FTA partners and independently with Australia, New Zealand, the TPP-11, and others. Ultimately President Trump supported by numerous Democrats accepted the re-negotiation of NAFTA, resulting in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which took effect July 1, 2021. Major developments under the USMCA and their impact on business are a central focus of this edition.
Datenerhebungen Im Ermittlungsverfahren und Rechtsstaatliche Beschränkungen : Rechtsvergleich Zwischen Deutschland und Südkorea
by
Aus Sicht des Rechtsstaatsprinzips und des Persönlichkeitsschutzes durch Datenschutz sollten Ermächtigungsnormen zur Erhebung personenbezogener Daten zum Zwecke der Strafverfolgung auch unter heutigen informationstechnischen Gegebenheiten nach den Grundsätzen der Normenklarheit und Verhältnismäßigkeit sorgfältig ausgestaltet werden. In den letzten mehr als 20 Jahren reagieren Deutschland und Südkorea durch ständige Gesetzesnovellierungen angemessen auf Fortschritte der IT. Aber die Entwicklung bewegt sich zu stark in Richtung effektiver Strafverfolgung. Zur Verwirklichung der funktionstüchtigen Strafrechtspflege sind neue Ermittlungsmaßnahmen parallel zur Veränderung der Realität positiv aufzunehmen, dabei zugleich aber auch entsprechende Verfahrenskontrollen zur Verhinderung übermäßiger Persönlichkeitsverletzung oder des Eingriffs in den Kernbereich sicherzustellen.

L'institutionnalisation de l'éthique - Notions, enjeux et défis
by
a question de l'éthique a obligé les Etats et leurs administrations publiques à s'interroger sur les modes de gouvernance. Or, en quoi consiste l'institutionnalisation de l'éthique ? Quelles sont les principales formes d'institutionnalisation qui peuvent être envisagées ? Peut-on proposer une matrice conceptuelle permettant d'identifier les meilleures formes d'institutionnalisation de l'éthique et de hiérarchiser les meilleures manières de faire ? Cet ouvrage propose de répondre à ces questions en expliquant en quoi consiste l'institutionnalisation de l'éthique et à quelles conditions on peut prétendre y parvenir. Il explore trois formes d'institutionnalisation de l'éthique, avec, à la clé, les problèmes et les avantages que chacune pose. La question de la gouvernance liée à ces pratiques est également abordée. Finalement, cet ouvrage tente de répondre à la question suivante : le fait d'institutionnaliser l'éthique oblige-t-il à développer de nouvelles formes de gouvernance, et si oui, lesquelles et à quelles conditions ? L'institutionnalisation de l'éthique : notions, enjeux et défis explore la question de l'institutionnalisation de l'éthique et renvoie à de nouvelles et de plus anciennes manières de discuter de la gouvernance. Il s'adresse aux cohortes étudiantes de même qu'aux chercheuses et chercheurs ainsi qu'aux cadres de direction, en exercice et en formation.
Mass Data Surveillance and Predictive Policing
by
Mass Data Surveillance and Predictive Policing critically assesses legal frameworks involving the bulk processing of personal data, initially collected by the private sector, to predict and prevent crime through advanced profiling technologies. In the EU, mass data surveillance currently engages three sectors: electronic communications (under the e-Privacy Directive), air travelling (under the Passenger Name Records Directive) and finance (under the Anti-Money Laundering Directive), and increasingly intersects with the deployment of predictive policing techniques. The book questions the legitimacy and impact of these frameworks in light of the EU's powers to provide security while safeguarding fundamental rights, particularly privacy, data protection, effective remedy, fair trial and presumption of innocence. Focusing on the security shift towards forestalling crime before it occurs, the book identifies its distinct characteristics, such as the blurred lines between the public and private sector actors, and
Using international law in Canadian courts
by
"First published in 2002, Using International Law in Canadian Courts remains the only complete account of how public international law is received into the law of Canada. Drawing on authorities ranging from eighteenth-century English case law to contemporary Charter jurisprudence, Gib van Ert aims to show litigants and judges how public international legal norms may – and may not – be used in Canadian courts. No familiarity with international law is required; van Ert begins with an introduction to the international legal system and goes on to elucidate such questions as the relevance of international agreements to judicial decision making, the place of customary international law in Canadian law, and the role of international human rights norms in Charter interpretation. The approach is practical and the analysis driven by case law. Yet van Ert’s exhaustive treatment of the constitutional, statutory, and common law rules of Canadian reception law will also interest academics and students. This third edition brings the book up to date with leading Supreme Court of Canada decisions while adding new discussions on topics such as executive certificates, internationally informed objections to court jurisdiction, non-binding arrangements between states, Empire treaties, treaty implementation through POGG, treaty de-implementation, and Canada’s reception of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples."
