Human rightsClass number: 346.015 Abstract: This book examines the potential impact of human rights in the way the law interacts with families. Traditionally family law has been dominated by consequentialist/utilitarian themes. The most notable example of this occurs in the law relating to children and the employment of the "welfare principle". This requires the court to focus on the welfare of the child as the paramount consideration. Hitherto the courts and, to a certain extent, family law academics, have firmly rejected the use of the language of rights, preferring the discretion and child-centred focus of welfare. However, the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights via the Human Rights Act now requires family law to deal more clearly with the competing rights that family members can hold. In addition, it is clear that, to date, the courts have largely ignored or minimised the different demands that the HRA imposes on the judiciary and, in particular, judicial reasoning. This book challenges that view and suggests ways in which the family courts may improve their reasoning in this field. No longer can cases be dealt with on the basis of a simple utilitarian calculation of what is in the best interests of the child and other family members - greater transparency is required.
The book clarifies the different rights that family members can hold and, in particular, identifies ways in which it may be possible to deal with the clash of rights between family members that will inevitably occur. Whether this requires an abandonment of the utilitarian nature of family law, or a reworking of it, is a theme that runs throughout the book.Contents note: The European Convention on Human Rights and family law; The Human Rights Act : scheme, principles and implementation; Human rights in family law

PhilosophyClass number: 340.1 Abstract: As Winter drew near, in 1985, the weather in New York City turned ugly. Temperature dropped below freezing; street people were faced with nights of intense cold and bitter suffering. The city responded by issuing an order to pick up the homeless, the drifters, the derelicts, and bring them into municipal shelters-by force, if necessary.
The intentions were perhaps good, but some among the homeless resisted; they did not want to go, either because they were afraid of the horrors of municipal shelters, or because they were confused and befuddled, or for other reasons. A white man who wore a green knit cap and lived in a "coffinlike card board box," talked to a reporter about "freedom" and said, “'They can't take me, unless I do something wrong.Contents note: Legalism and Individualism; Modernity and the Rise of the Individual; Technology and Change; On Modern Legal Culture; The Chosen Republic; Gods, Kings, and Movie Stars; Crime, Sexuality, and Social Disorganization; The Life-Style Society; A Stab at Assessment; Social Meanings of Key Terms; Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=20118 Hold
