P. C. du Général by Bernard Barbey Pdf

Pour les Suisses, il n’y a jamais qu’un « Général », ce grade étant réservé au commandant en chef, désigné à l’heure du danger. Le 30 août 1939, l’Assemblée fédérale élisait le « Général » Guisan à une immense majorité et lui confiait la tâche de commander l’armée helvétique pendant la nouvelle guerre mondiale. On sait la confiance, l’attachement et la popularité extraordinaire que le chef vaudois inspira au peuple et à l’armée, du commencement à la fin de sa mission. On sait la fermeté avec laquelle, en 1940, il fit front devant les dangers qui menaçaient le territoire suisse, isolé et encerclé, et la décision, audacieuse et judicieuse, qu’il prit alors, d’installer l’armée fédérale dans un « réduit national » où il la prépara à combattre jusqu’à l’épuisement de ses ressources. On sait enfin à quel degré d’entraînement il haussa, jusqu’au terme des hostilités, la force qui lui était confiée au cœur de l’Europe, et le degré auquel il porta son moral. Voici l’ouvrage qui retrace, au jour le jour, comment le Général Guisan conçut et accomplit sa tâche. Son auteur, Bernard Barbey, n’était pas officier de carrière. Romancier, auteur de « Cœur gros », de « La maladère » et du « Crépuscule du matin », il avait cependant, avec le plus grand nombre de ses camarades de l’armée suisse, deux vocations : la sienne et sa vocation d’officier. Appelé en juin 1940 par le Général aux fonctions de chef de son état-major particulier, le Major, puis Lieutenant-Colonel Barbey fut donc son collaborateur intime et son témoin jusqu’à la fin de la guerre. Ce livre présente les fragments du journal qu’il écrivait pour « faire le point », soir après soir, sans autre prétention que de fixer les faits et les traits, de noter les choses vues et entendues, les impressions du moment. Il est sans doute le plus vivant témoignage de la manière dont la suisse, et sa vigilante armée, passèrent ces cinq années si dramatiques pour le monde entier.

The Canadian General Election of 1997 by Alan Frizzell,Jon H. Pammett Pdf

The General Election of 1997 did not turn out as Jean Chretien and the Liberal Party had planned. Chretien called an early election, believing that his party was in a position to retain the majority they had won in 1993. They got their majority, but just barely. When the campaign began, the focus for many Canadians was the economy and job creation. National unity, however, quickly became a key issue, and triggered the most heated debates of the campaign. As was the case in 1993, the election of 1997 saw the country divided along regional lines. The Bloc Quebecois remained strong in Quebec, while the Progressive Conservatives and New Democrats dominated the maritime provinces. The Reform Party, meanwhile, won the west in a landslide, becoming the Official Opposition for the first time. It was Ontario, however, where the election was won: the Liberals won all but two seats in Canada’s largest province, and in the end that was enough to carry Jean Chretien to victory. The Canadian General Election of 1997 is a study of the key aspects of the campaign and the election itself. In addition to analyzing each party’s campaign, authors examine the role of the media, pollsters, the electoral system, and the voters. Articles are contributed by some of the best-known political writers in Canada today: Anthony Westell, Stephen Clarkson, Peter Woolstencroft, Alan Whitehorn, Keith Archer, Faron Ellis, AndrBernard, Chris Dornan, Ed Greenspon, Michael Marzolini, and Louis Massicotte. This readable volume will appeal to an academic as well as a general readership, and is ideally suited for libraries and political science courses. New to this year’s volume is a post-election survey by Jon Pammett.

Aboriginal Customary Law: A Source of Common Law Title to Land by Ulla Secher Pdf

Described as 'ground-breaking' in Kent McNeil's Foreword, this book develops an alternative approach to conventional Aboriginal title doctrine. It explains that aboriginal customary law can be a source of common law title to land in former British colonies, whether they were acquired by settlement or by conquest or cession from another colonising power. The doctrine of Common Law Aboriginal Customary Title provides a coherent approach to the source, content, proof and protection of Aboriginal land rights which overcomes problems arising from the law as currently understood and leads to more just results. The doctrine's applicability in Australia, Canada and South Africa is specifically demonstrated. While the jurisprudential underpinnings for the doctrine are consistent with fundamental common law principles, the author explains that the Australian High Court's decision in Mabo provides a broader basis for the doctrine: a broader basis which is consistent with a re-evaluation of case-law from former British colonies in Africa, as well as from the United States, New Zealand and Canada. In this context, the book proffers a reconceptualisation of the Crown's title to land in former colonies and a reassessment of conventional doctrines, including the doctrine of tenure and the doctrine of continuity. 'With rare exceptions ... the existing literature does not probe as deeply or question fundamental assumptions as thoroughly as Dr Secher does in her research. She goes to the root of the conceptual problems around the legal nature of Indigenous land rights and their vulnerability to extinguishment in the former colonial empire of the Crown. This book is a formidable contribution that I expect will be influential in shifting legal thinking on Indigenous land rights in progressive new directions.'

Politics, Justice & the Rule of Law by Nihal Sri Ameresekere Pdf

This is the most controversial Book, containing complex shocking revelations, in the series of Books by the Author, wherein most difficult topics are excellently and diligently dealt with, exposing realities in politics, and non-dispensation of justice, with judiciary acting sans jurisdiction, ultra-vires the Constitution, denying natural justice, making a mockery of the `rule of law', paying scant regard to United Nations Conventions on Human Rights. The range of cases and topics dealt with is indeed amazing making exhorbing reading. Commencing with his own exposure to politics, paying high tribute to minority Tamils in Sri Lanka, the Author brings out stunning prevalent reality. Makes startling disclosures on Sri Lanka's most controversial Presidential Election of 2010, and incarceration, as a villain, a Presidential Candidate, a trusted Army General, once hailed, as the `best Army General in Asia', having led the country's armed forces to crush one of the most feared terrorists organizations, internationally banned, Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam. The most difficult and delicate subject of `judicial bias and disqualification' at highest levels of the judiciary is dealt with, including the controversy which reverberated on the endeavour by the Legislature to impeach a Chief Justice, whose husband, having held high profile political office, was impleaded in a dubious share scandal, involving the country's leading Savings Bank. Author incisively delves into an important case of abduction of a Tamil businessman, and the horrendous anonymous allegations of trading in human body parts, during the war against the terrorists, allegedly with Indian and Israeli connections. Author analyses real case studies, involving foreign investments, demonstrating classic instances of dubious judicial processes, including subversion of action, vis-à-vis, fabricated forged documents of public officers tendered to Court, involving questionable professional conduct, and indifference by law enforcement authorities, including Attorney General, Chief Law Officer of the State.
