"Is there such a thing as an 'international law' of which to be afraid? Can international law be seen as a coherent set of norms? Or is it, rather, something experienced radically differently by different individuals and groups in different parts of the world? And what do the different sets of international law seek to change or justify today? In [this book] noted authorities in this field respond to Raimond Gaita's invitation to explore ways in which international law constitutes a certain way of talking and being; one that might have both ameliorative and malign effects. The result is an extended and rich conversation about international law's aspirations and limitations, its nuances and rigidities, achievements and failures, relevance and irrelevance"--Back cover

Autorzy odrębnie traktują pojęcie prawa i wolności w rozumieniu zachowań, postępowań gwarantujących zaspokojenie niektórych potrzeb przez siłę przymusu państwa. Uwidaczniają i krytykują niespójności w semantyce i znaczenie tych dwóch terminów w niektórych aktach normatywnych, w tym ich implikacje w teorii i praktyce, a także przedstawiają niektóre propozycje de lege ferenda dotyczące art. 10 EKPC. Autorzy twierdzą, że nawet w Powszechnej Deklaracji Praw Człowieka znajdujemy wyrażenia o różnym znaczeniu dla słów prawo i wolność. Różne, niespójne znaczenia tego rodzaju pojawiają się także w art. 5, art. 9, art. 10, art. 11, art. 17 Europejskiej Konwencji Praw Człowieka. Z wyrażeń "głoszone prawa i wolności", "prawa lub wolności" używanych w Konwencji wynikałoby, że są one dwoma różnymi pojęciami. Jednakże, z wyrażeń "prawo do wolności" i "to prawo obejmuje wolność" wynikają inne sensy i znaczenia dla pojęć prawa i wolności, które wydają się być niekonsekwencjami. Podsumowując, autorzy uważają, że zarówno w teorii, praktyce, a zwłaszcza w prawie konieczne jest odrębne użycie tych dwóch pojęć: prawa i wolności. ; The authors treat distinctly the concept of right and liberty, in the sense of behaviours, behaviours guaranteed to satisfy some needs by the coercive force of the state. Reveals and criticizes the inconsistencies in the semantics and the significance of the two terms in some normative acts, including their implications in theory and practice, also presenting some proposals of law ferenda related to art. 10 of the ECHR. The authors claim that even in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights we find phrases with different meanings for the words of justice and freedom. Different, inconsistent meanings of this kind also appear in art. 5, art.9, art.10, art.11, art. 17 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Using the phrases: "proclaimed rights and freedoms" and "rights or freedoms" as within the Convention, would seem as two different concepts. Instead, from the phrases "the right to freedom" and "this right includes freedom", occurs other meanings and semnifications for the concepts of justice and liberty, that appears as inconsistency. "Summarising, the authors consider that both in theory, practice and especially in the law it is necessary to use distinctly the two terms of "right" and "freedom".

"Featuring specially commissioned chapters from experts in the field of media and communications law this book provides an authoritative survey of media law from a comparative perspective. The handbook will not simply offer a synopsis of the state of affairs in media law jurisprudence. Rather it will provide a better understanding of the forces that generate media rules, norms, and standards, perpetuate them, and foster change in them against the background of major transformations in the way information is mediated as a result of democratization, economic development, cultural change, globalization and technological innovation.The book addresses a range of issues including: media law and evolving concepts of democracy network neutrality and traffic management public service broadcasting in Europe Interception of communication and surveillance in Russia State secrets, leaks and the media. A variety of rule-making institutions are considered, including administrative, and judicial entities within and outside of government, but also entities such as associations and corporations that generate binding rules. The book assesses the emerging role of supranational economic and political groupings as well as of non-Western models, such as China and India, where cultural attitudes toward media freedoms are often very different.

While data journalism has been the hot topic of various recent reports, no studies have discussed how the changes in journalistic storytelling may create new legal considerations for journalists. This report aims to help journalists, lawyers, and academics understand the changes taking place in media law as a result of both the growing volume of data in our information economy, and the the seismic shifts occurring within journalism and technology. By examining developments in newsgathering law, the Freedom of Information Act, and laws involved in leak investigations, this research underscores worrisome shifts in the law, as well as gray areas where reform would strengthen the rights of a free press and journalists. In its first part, the report looks at emerging concerns over data journalism projects that could trigger the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), 18 U.S.C. §1030(a)(4)i for scraping, a data collection technique that usually relies on automation—through bots, crawlers, or applications—to extract data from a website. As data collection becomes increasingly important for investigative journalists in particular, legal experts worry about civil and criminal penalties that exist under the statute—which has been described by some First Amendment advocates as unconstitutionally vague. In reviewing the history and case law of the CFAA in relationship to journalism, the research offers practical tips and various legal considerations on the issue. Next, the report discusses troubling trends arising under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in the digital age, as the amount of government information held in databases and government logs grows, and the need for transparency is crucial. Lastly, it reviews data's impact on laws affecting whistleblowers. In the past decade, we've seen more leak prosecutions in the United States than all those combined in the country's history. This, of course, occurs at a time when there is more information than ever before for whistleblowers to share.

This collection of essays presents an interdisciplinary investigation by lawyers and philosophers into the philosophical ideas, concepts, and principles that provide the foundation for the field of labour law and employment law. The book addresses the doubts that have been expressed about whether a body of labour law that protects workers is needed at all, what should be regarded as the proper scope of the field in the light of developments such as the integration of work and home life by means of technology, the globalization of the economy, and the precarious kinds of work that thrive in the gig economy. Paying particular attention to political philosophy and theories of justice, the contributions focus on four themes: I. freedom, dignity, and human rights; II. distributive justice and exploitation; III. workplace democracy and self-determination; and IV. social inclusion. ; https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/books/1118/thumbnail.jpg
