In 1927 the Palestine Government commissioned us to prepare a statement of the Land Law then in force in Palestine for the use of Officers engage in the work of Land Settlement. The statement then prepared has been given a wider circulation than was, perhaps, at first intended and copies had been made for sale, it has proved useful both to practitioners and students. Circumstances appear to call for a republication of the statements in a more convenient form and this has been made possible with the consent of the government. We have taken the opportunity revising the original statement very thoroughly and adding chapters upon the protection of agricultural tenants expropriation , town planning, Taxation of land, etc. These are matters of interest to the students and practitioners though less relevant to the work of Settlement Officers for whom the original statement was designed We have also inserted a chapter dealing with the Cadastral Survey and the setting forth the law under which Land Settlement operations take place. References to legislations and as far as possible to court decisions , have been brought up to date. Unfortunately no adequate reports of decided cases are published in Palestine . Use have been made of the reports given in Palestine Post for which all persons interested are very grateful, and also of some other sources of information. A Volume of Reports under the editorship of His Honour the Chief Justice has been published and it is to be hoped that the practice of official publication once established will be maintained. Unfortunately the publication of the Volume of Reports took place at too late a date to allow of reference in the text of cases included in the Volume. The most important of the land cases is the Volume of reports has been summarized for references in an Appendix to this book.

In the decades following the globalization of the world economy, trafficking, forced labor and modern slavery have emerged as significant global problems. States negotiated the Palermo Protocol in 2000 under which they agreed to criminalize trafficking, primarily understood as an issue of serious organized crime. Sixteen years later, leading academics, activists and policy makers from international organizations come together in this edited volume and adopt an inter-disciplinary, multi-stakeholder approach to revisit trafficking through the lens of labor migration and extreme exploitation and, in the process, rethink the law and governance of trafficking. This volume considers many key factors, including the evolving international law on trafficking, the relationship between trafficking, slavery, indenture and domestic migration law and policy as well as newly emergent techniques of governance, including indicators, all with a view to furthering prospects for lasting economic justice in a globalized world

Radical constructivists appeal to self-legislation in arguing that rational agents are the ultimate sources of normative authority over themselves. I chart the roots of radical constructivism and argue that its two leading Kantian proponents are unable to defend an account of self-legislation as the fundamental source of practical normativity without this legislation collapsing into a fatal arbitrariness. Christine Korsgaard cannot adequately justify the critical resources which agents use to navigate their practical identities. This leaves her account riven between rigorism and voluntarism, such that it will not escape a paradox that arises when self-legislation is unable to appeal to external normative standards. Onora O'Neill anchors self-legislation more firmly to the self-disciplining structures of reason itself. However, she ultimately fails to defend sufficiently unconditional practical norms which could guide legislation. These endemic problems with radical constructivist models of self-legislation prompt a reconstruction of a neglected realist self-legislative tradition which is exemplified by Christian Wolff. In outlining a rationalist and realist account of self-legislation, I argue that it can also make sense of our ability to overcome anomie and deference in practical action. Thus, I claim that we need not make laws but can make them our own.
