Australia. Young males were the hardest hit during the downturn, and this has been associated to some degree with the collapse in the availability of apprenticeships. The adult employment rate grew in some cases at the same rate as the youth employment rate declined. Australia put a strong focus on activation and created a National Youth Participation Requirement with an entitlement to training through 24 years of age.

OBS

The Canada Memorial commemorates an extraordinary co-operation between two nations in two world wars. The contribution made by Canada was generous and unconditional. It was accepted by Great Britain on the understanding that Canada's participation, with both personnel and material, implied no degree of imperial subordination but was offered from one sovereign nation to another in testimony of long association and mutual strategic interest. Canada joined in the war effort in the full knowledge that Britain's urgent need for her help derived from a threat that did not menace her immediately but posed nevertheless a moral challenge which the nature of Canadian nationhood demanded should be confronted and outfaced. There were no means, either in 1914 or 1939, by which Britain might have bound Canada to a war effort. It was precisely because Canada nevertheless declared a combatant alongside Great Britain that her brotherhood-in-arms was so deeply appreciated and is now commemorated in the Memorial which was unvieled on June 3 1994.

OBS

Green Park, Londres. Le Mémorial du Canada commémore une extraordinaire coopération entre deux nations au cours de deux guerres mondiales. La contribution du Canada, à la fois humaine et matérielle, n'impliquait aucune subordination impériale mais était offerte d'une nation souveraine à une autre, en témoignage d'une longue association et d'un intérêt stratégique. Le Canada se joignit à l'effort de guerre en sachant parfaitement que si la Grande-Bretagne avait besoin de son aide de toute urgence, ce besoin découlait d'une menace qui ne touchait pas directement le Canada mais celle-ci représentait néanmoins pour lui un défi moral que la nature des fondements mêmes de la nation canadienne exigeait d'affronter et de braver. La Grande-Bretagne n'avait aucun moyen, que ce soit en 1914 ou en 1939, de contraindre le Canada à se joindre à l'effort de guerre. C'est précisément parce que le Canada s'est néanmoins déclaré combattant aux côtés de la Grande-Bretagne que leur fraternité dans le combat fut si profondément appréciée et est à présent commémorée avec le Mémorial, qui fut inauguré le 3 juin 1994.

  • Penal Law
CONT

"Whoever aids or abets the actual commission of a crime, either at the place where it is committed or elsewhere, is a principal in the second degree in that crime. Mere presence on the occasion when a crime is committed does not make a person a principal in the second degree, even if he neither makes any effort to prevent the offence or to cause the offender to be apprehended, but such presence may be evidence for the consideration of the jury of an active participation in the offence. When the existence of a particular intent forms part of the definition of an offence, a person charged with aiding or abetting the commission of the offence must be shown to have known of the existence of the intent on the part of the person so aided"(Steph. Cr.(9th ed.), 16).

English

Subject field(s)
  • International Public Law
DEF

The status or attitude of a country that refrains from direct participation in a war but openly favors and usually gives unneutral aid in varying degree and kind to one of the belligerents.

CONT

... there are two kinds of status of the parties outside the range of ... hostile relations: the status of neutrality in a war proper; the status of non-participation or non-involvement by States or non-Status entities in a no-war conflict. The latter status is sometimes referred to as neutrality, but there are certain differences between it and neutrality proper. It is perhaps better to refer to it as quasi-neutrality, or in certain cases simply as non-belligerency.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit international public
DEF

Attitude d'un État qui s'engage à ne pas intervenir dans un conflit armé sans pour autant affirmer sa neutralité.

OBS

En droit international, la non-belligérance est en effet une neutralité imparfaite. Ce fut le cas de l'Italie qui, en 1939, se proclamant neutre, était malgré tout liée au IIIe Reich par des accords connus sous le nom de l'Axe.
