The ICJ announced today at its Geneva headquarters a world-wide Contest on the theme The Role of the Lawyer in the Economic and Social Development of his Country within the Framework of the Rule of Law.
The ICJ presents in this Report to the international legal community the results of a thorough although not exhaustive inquiry into the problems created by the systematic application of the principle of racial separation (apartheid)1 in the Union of South Africa.
This report is based on evidence collected by ICJ Member Purshottam Trikamdas and his team, who investigated the situation in Tibet, paying particular attention to the question of violation of human rights.
The administrative authorities have not the right to make laws by virtue of their own competence. The legislative function actually belongs to the two Chambers (Art. 70 of the Constitution).
By publishing this bulletin, the ICJ wishes to provide a forum for the free exchange of views among jurists all over the world; it invites them to supply information and comments on legal developments worthy of attention in individual countries.
This edition exposes various aspects of the Rule of law in:
