FULL SOVEREIGNTY [7 records]

Record 1 2025-10-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Political Theories and Doctrines
  • Political Systems
CONT

By allowing members of the federation to "go at it alone" so long as they are doing so within their(even overlapping) spheres of jurisdiction, and so long as they are doing so through legislation, the Supreme Court actually reinforces parliamentary sovereignty as an instrument of dualist federalism. Each pillar can act in full autonomy, as sovereign, without much consideration for the system in which it partakes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Théories et doctrines politiques
  • Régimes politiques
CONT

Ainsi, le fédéralisme dualiste classique fournit la charpente du régime fédéral canadien qui repose notamment sur des pyramides parallèles, formées de normes unilatérales, adoptées par chacun des ordres de gouvernement. Dans ce contexte, le principe de la souveraineté parlementaire, dont chaque ordre est également doté, est présenté comme garant de l'autonomie de chaque partenaire de la fédération.

OBS

Le fédéralisme dualiste est aujourd'hui délaissé par la Cour suprême au profit du fédéralisme coopératif.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Indigenous Peoples
CONT

[For some authors, ] Indigenous sovereignty implies "the recognition that there is no external supreme" and "absolute power over the indigenous community" does not lie somewhere else but "within the community, in the collective body. "And, these issues can’t be resolved unless "Indigenous territorial possession and full jurisdiction are in place. "

DEF

Debido a la trascendencia de esta situación, la iniciativa del Pacto de los Pueblos Indígenas de Asia para recuperar la pérdida de la soberanía indígena y crear un espacio cívico alternativo es un paso para abordar a largo plazo la criminalización de los pueblos indígenas y el fortalecimiento de la democracia en la región.

Record 4 2017-10-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oceanography
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
CONT

A land-locked sea has no connection with the open sea, and may be assimilated to a mere lake. This may lie within one... State or, like the Caspian Sea, between two States. In the latter case, there is a division of the waters between the two States concerned. The legal status of inland and land-locked seas is that of internal waters, that is to say they are under the full sovereignty of the coastal state. Foreign warships require special permission to enter inland seas, and merchant ships are required to satisfy any conditions which may be laid down by the territorial state.

OBS

closed sea: The term "enclosed sea" ... should not be confused with the term "closed sea." An enclosed sea was not a fully closed sea much as the Caspian Sea or the Aral Sea, which had no outlets to the open oceans. It was, instead, a small body of inland water, such as the Persian Gulf or the Baltic Sea, which had at least one outlet to the open sea.

If we were to fail to do so, we could expect demands from the United States with regard to its own northern security requirements. These could well be incompatible with full Canadian independence and sovereignty. In short, some degree of defence effort is required if we are to remain an independent nation.
