This article reexamines the rationales for and objections to universal jurisdiction, and argues that where public officials perpetrate serious international crimes, the arguments for upholding immunity are weak. In such cases, the arguments for universal criminal jurisdiction as a less invasive form of humanitarian intervention may be compelling. The article contends that the Security Council should withdraw immunity in such cases and that although this would be novel, there is both legal authority and historical precedent to support such action. 1, record 3, English, - withdraw%20immunity

Rather than foster full recognition of both English and French in Canadian society, the actions of the Department of Justice would result in diminished opportunities for their use. The breach of obligations under section 41 must also be seen in light of the principle of official language equality under section 16 of the Charter, as well as the recognition that governments in Canada should advance by way of legislative action the equality of status or use of French and English. The principle of equality of our official languages must have substantive effects in order to ensure its full implementation. This imposes a constitutional obligation on the federal government to take the initiative in creating a necessary institutional support to the use of either official language. This obligation is ignored by action that reduces the scope of language rights as they apply to the legal process under federal jurisdiction. 1, record 6, English, - by%20way%20of%20legislative%20action

Plutôt que de favoriser la pleine reconnaissance de l'anglais et du français au sein de la société canadienne, les mesures prises par le ministère de la Justice résulteraient en un usage moins répandu des deux langues. Le manquement aux obligations prévues à l'article 41 doit également être examiné à la lumière du principe de l'égalité des langues officielles énoncé à l'article 16 de la Charte, ainsi que du principe reconnu selon lequel les ordres de gouvernement au Canada devraient promouvoir, par voie législative, l'égalité du statut ou de l'emploi du français et de l'anglais. Le principe de l'égalité de nos langues officielles doit avoir des effets réels afin qu'il puisse être pleinement mis en œuvre. Le gouvernement fédéral est ainsi tenu par la Constitution de prendre l'initiative pour créer le soutien institutionnel nécessaire à l'emploi de l'une ou l'autre des langues officielles. Les mesures qui restreignent la portée des droits linguistiques lors des procédures de compétence fédérale ne tiennent pas compte d'une telle obligation. 1, record 6, French, - par%20voie%20l%C3%A9gislative

Private international law refers to the body of domestic legal rules developed within States to resolve legal issues containing a foreign element and the questions that arise as to which court has jurisdiction and which law applies. Since each domestic legal system has its own rules, giving rise to potential conflicts, the field of private international law is also known as "conflict of laws, "especially in common-law jurisdictions. 3, record 14, English, - private%20international%20law

The term "domestic jurisdiction", as used in the theory and practice of international law, mainly since the Covenant of the League of Nations, is not a new legal concept from the point of view of its content. Indeed, it does not mean anything else or anything more than the term sovereignty in the sense of the supreme power of the State over its territory and inhabitants in the framework of international law binding upon the State. What some authors used to call "internal sovereignty" corresponds to domestic jurisdiction. This term does not mean exactly the same thing as the French expression "compétence exclusive de l'État, "although it is translated in this way in the Covenant. 3, record 15, English, - domestic%20jurisdiction

One trained and licensed to prepare, manage, and either prosecute or defend a court action as an agent for another and who also gives advice on legal matters that may or may not require court action. Many of the terms listed above may be used interchangeably depending on the jurisdiction. These titles, and the rank and powers attributed to them, vary significantly from province to province and from state to state, thus necessitating a careful check of the pertinent jurisdiction's usage before choosing a term for a legal text. The following trends may be noted. "Lawyer" is a generic term. "Counsel", frequently used in Canada, may be a general term, or may refer more specifically to a lawyer who can plead in court. A "barrister" is a courtroom lawyer as opposed to a "solicitor" who is basically an office lawyer.(In Canada, both of these functions may be carried out by the same person). In some jurisdictions, "attorney" is used as a synonym of "lawyer", but in others, "attorney" becomes synonymous with "solicitor". Moreover, an "attorney-at-law" may sometimes plead in court. "Advocate" is the general word for a lawyer in Roman law jurisdictions(i. e. Quebec). 3, record 20, English, - lawyer
