This article theorises the nexus between mnemonical status anxiety and militant memory laws. Extending the understanding of status-seeking in international relations to the realm of historical memory, I argue that the quest for mnemonical recognition is a status struggle in an international social hierarchy of remembering constitutive events of the past. A typology of mnemopolitical status-seeking is presented on the example of Russia (mnemonical positionalism), Poland (mnemonical revisionism), and Ukraine (mnemonical self-emancipation). Memory laws provide a common instance of securing and/or improving a state's mnemonical standing in the relevant memory order. Drawing on the conceptual analogy of militant democracy, the article develops the notion militant memocracy, or the governance of historical memory through a dense network of prescribing and proscribing memory laws and policies. Similar to its militant democracy counterpart, militant memocracy is in danger of self-inflicted harm to the object of defence in the very effort to defend it: its precautionary and punitive measures resound rather than fix the state's mnemonical anxiety problem.

This article examines (1) the economic and political significance of foreign workers in South Korea, and (2) Korea's policy response toward foreign labor, including the government's initial efforts to avoid potential "social problems" by encouraging the inflow of "ethnically compatible" workers from China.

Throughout the nineteenth century, legal barriers to Jewish citizenship were lifted in Europe, enabling organized Jewish communities and individuals to alter radically their relationships with the institutions of the Christian West. In this volume, one of the first to offer a comparative overview of the entry of Jews into state and society, eight leading historians analyze the course of emancipation in Holland, Germany, France, England, the United States, and Italy as well as in Turkey and Russia. The goal is to produce a systematic study of the highly diverse paths to emancipation and to e

Western Sahara is a territory lying in North-Western Africa. It borders Morocco in the north, Algeria in the north-east, Mauritania in the east and in the south, and its north-western coast borders the Atlantic Ocean. The country was colonized by the Kingdom of Spain following the decisions of the Berlin conference held in 1884. After World War 2, it was a Spanish province. When it won the independence in 1956, Morocco demanded that Western Sahara should be "liberated", claiming that the territory belonged to it. In 1963,following the passing of the information by Spain, on the basis of Article 73 letter e) of the Charter of the United Nations, the UN entered Western Sahara in the list of areas which were not governed independently. On 14 April 1976, Morocco and Mauritania signed a convention on establishing their frontier line, on the power of which they executed a division of the territory of Western Sahara. Nowadays the western – the larger – part of Western Sahara's territory is controlled by Morocco. The main aim of this article is to provide an answer to the question of the present condition of the international legal status of Western Sahara.

Law elucidation is the interpretation of norms contained in the body of the law. Since the Constitutional Court reviewed the elucidation, several legal issues have arisen regarding law elucidation in the Indonesian Legislation System. The first is the formal (binding force) and material (material content) legal status of the law elucidation. The second is the extent to which the Constitutional Court can review the law elucidation. This study employed normative juridical and evaluative methods; and generates several conclusions. First, the law elucidation has binding legal force. Second, there are two forms of the elucidation content: (1) interpretation in the form of norm; and (2) interpretation that is not in the form of norm. Third, the elucidation can be reviewed if it contradicts the body of the law, other the laws that regulate the same substance, or contrary to the 1945 Constitution. Fourth, the elucidation needs to be separated from the law framework. Consequently, the elucidation does not contain essential content and does not cause constitutional problems if the content is problematic. Lastly, the elucidation needs to contain the aims and objectives of each article's existence. Therefore, the law enforcers can implement the law according to the legislators' wishes.Status Hukum Penjelasan Undang-Undang dalam Sistem Peraturan Perundang-Undangan Indonesia AbstrakPenjelasan undang-undang merupakan tafsir dari norma yang terdapat pada batang tubuh undang-undang. Akan tetapi, beberapa Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi memperlihatkan bahwa penjelasan bermuatan norma dan berkekuatan hukum mengikat. Hal tersebut menunjukan status hukum penjelasan undang-undang dalam sistem peraturan perundang-undangan Indonesia, baik dari segi formil (kekuatan mengikat) maupun materiil (materi muatan), tidaklah jelas. Persoalan status hukum tersebut berkaitan pula dengan sejauhmana Mahkamah Konstitusi dapat menguji penjelasan. Oleh sebab itu, persoalan status hukum penjelasan undang-undang dan sejauhmana Mahkamah Konstitusi dapat menguji penjelasan undang-undang perlu diteliti. Dengan menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dan evaluatif, artikel ini menghasilkan beberapa kesimpulan. Pertama, penjelasan undang-undang memiliki kekuatan hukum mengikat. Kedua, terdapat dua bentuk materi muatan dari penjelasan, yakni tafsir yang berbentuk norma dan tafsir yang tidak berbentuk norma. Ketiga, penjelasan dapat diuji, dibatalkan, atau dinyatakan konstitusional/inkonstitusional bersyarat apabila bertentangan dengan batang tubuh undang-undang yang sama, undang-undang lain yang mengatur substansi yang sama, atau bertentangan dengan konstitusi. Keempat, penjelasan perlu dipisahkan dari kerangka undang-undang agar tidak menimbulkan masalah konstitusional serta tidak perlu dibatalkan Mahkamah Konstitusi apabila isinya bermasalah dan agar penjelasan tidak memuat isi yang sifatnya esensial. Terakhir, penjelasan perlu memuat maksud dan tujuan dari keberadaan masing-masing pasal agar penegak hukum dapat melaksanakan penerapan hukum sesuai kehendak pembentuk undang-undang.Kata Kunci: penjelasan undang-undang, sistem peraturan perundang-undangan, status hukum.DOI: https://doi.org/10.22304/pjih.v8n1.a5

Despite tremendous advances in civil rights, we live in a world where the sexes remain sharply segregated from birth to death: in names, clothing, social groupings, and possessions; in occupations, civic association, and domestic roles. Gender separatism, so pervasive as to be almost invisible, permeates the fabric of our daily social routines. Preferring a notion of gender that is fluid and contextual, and denying that separatism is inevitable, Nancy Levit dismantles the myths of gender essentialism Drawing on a wealth of interdisciplinary data regarding the biological and cultural origins of sex differences, Levit provides a fresh perspective on gendered behaviors and argues the need for careful cultivation of new relations between the sexes. With its focus particularly on men, The Gender Line offers an insightful overview of the construction of gender and the damaging effects of its stereotypes. Levit analyzes the ways in which law legitimizes the social segregation of the sexes through legal decisions regarding custody, employment, education, sexual harassment, and criminal law. In so doing, she illustrates the ways in which men's and women's oppressions are intertwined and how law molds the very definition of masculinity. Applying feminist methodology to the doctrine of feminism itself, Levit artfully demonstrates that gender separatism infects even our contemporary views of feminism. Levit asks questions that have been too long been unspoken--those that lie at the core of the feminist project, yet threaten its very foundations. Revealing masculinity as both a privileged and a victimized condition, she calls for a step forward, past the bounds of contemporary feminism and its conflicts, toward a more egalitarian and inclusive feminism. This brand of feminism would reshape traditional masculinity, invite men into feminist dialogue, and claim men as political allies.
