Book Description
This publication is the first comprehensive attempt to familiarize the public with the problems of Internal Rules of Ukrainian prisons. It contains proposals of amendments to the Internal Pre-Trial Detention Center Rules, as well as to the Internal Prison Rules (Part I and Part II). The proposals are intended to implement international standards, such as recommendations of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and judgments of the European Court of Human Rights. The author points out the shortcomings of both current Rules, which are considered to be leftovers of the Soviet Union, and should therefore be changed in the light of modern approaches to prisoners’ rights. The publication also contains draft amendments to the Internal Pre-Trial Detention Center Rules, as well as to Internal Prison Rules developed by the Ministry of Justice in August 2017. Their translations are unofficial and made for information purposes only (Part III and Part IV).

Analysis of implementation of the recommendations on the penitentiary system provided to Ukraine by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture since 1998
Author: Vadym Chovgan
Publisher: Човган Вадим Олександрович
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
This analysis is devoted to the progress in implementation of the recommendations made by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (hereinafter – CPT, Committee). It concerns all the recommendations made by the Committee since its first visit to Ukraine in 1998. During this time, the Committee has published 15 reports pertaining to Ukraine. Of these, 12 reports that were fully or partially devoted to the Ukrainian penitentiary system were analysed. Three remaining reports were ignored since they were dealing exclusively with other areas (psychiatric institutions, border guard facilities, etc.). The intention was to analyse the implementation progress of only those recommendations, the implementation of which could be measured. Besides, only recommendations of systemic nature were taken for analysis. Therefore, the analysis does not consider the implementation of other recommendations with regard to: individual penitentiary institutions and their repair state; individual or collective cases of torture/degrading treatment in certain institutions; provision of material resources, food, medicines, etc .; staffing level of individual institutions. Thus, the focus was on recommendations with regard to which it was possible to state on their implementation, non-implementation or partial implementation. An important part of these recommendations require legislative changes and/or additional funding. In some cases, recommendations for individual institutions were taken into account when addressing systemic issues. The purpose of the analysis was to conduct a kind of "inventory" of the Committee's outstanding recommendations. The idea was to summarize a large number of standards scattered in the various reports. To facilitate finding the referenced reports containing relevant recommendations the year of the Committee's visit and the paragraph of the relevant report are indicated in parentheses.

Ethnic and Religious Minorities in Stalin's Soviet Union
Author: A. S. Kotli︠a︡rchuk
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789176017777
Category : Minorities
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
This anthology presents studies of Stalinism in the ethnic and religious bor-derlands of the Soviet Union. The authors not only cover hitherto less researched geographical areas, but have also addressed new questions and added new source material. Most of the contributors to this anthology use a micro-his-torical approach. With this approach, it is not the entire area of the country, with millions of separate individuals that are in focus but rather particular and cohesive ethnic and religious communities. Micro-history does not mean ignoring a macro-historical perspective. What happened on the local level had an all-Union context, and communism was a European-wide phenomenon. This means that the history of minorities in the Soviet Union during Stalin's rule cannot be grasped outside the national and international context; aspects which are also considered in this volume. The chapters of the book are case studies on various minority groups, both ethnic and religious. In this way, the book gives a more complex picture of the causes and effects of the state-run mass violence during Stalinism. The publication is the outcome of a multidisciplinary international research network lead by Andrej Kotljarchuk (SOdertOrn University, Sweden) and Olle SundstrOm (UmeA University, Sweden) and consisting of specialists from Estonia, France, Germany, Russia, Sweden, Ukraine and the United States. These scholars represent various disciplines: Anthropology, Cultural Studies, History and the History of Religions.

Stealing America
Author: Dinesh D'Souza
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062366734
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
WHY HILLARY, OBAMA, AND THE ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ARE NO BETTER THAN A GANG OF THIEVES In the fall of 2014, outspoken author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza found himself hauled into federal court for improperly donating money to an old friend’s Senate campaign. D’Souza pleaded guilty and was sentenced to eight months in a state-run confinement center. There he lived among hardened criminals—drug dealers, thieves, gangbangers, rapists, and murderers. Now the bestselling author explains how this experience not only changed his life, but fundamentally transformed his view of his adopted country. Previously, D’Souza had seen America through the eyes of a grateful immigrant who became successful by applying and defending conservative principles. Again and again, D’Souza made the case that America is an exceptional nation, fundamentally fair and just. In book after book, he argued against liberalism as though it were a genuine movement of ideas capable of being engaged and refuted. But his prolonged exposure to the criminal underclass provided an eye-opening education in American realities. In the view of hardened criminals, D’Souza learned, America is anything but fair and just. Instead, it is a jungle in which various armed gangs face off against one another, with the biggest and most powerful gangs inhabiting the federal government. As for American liberalism, it is not a movement of ideas at all but a series of scams and cons aimed at nothing less than stealing the entire wealth of the nation, built up over more than two centuries: the total value of the homes, the lifelong savings of the people, the assets of every industry, and all the funds allocated to health and education and every other service, both public and private. “The thieves I am speaking about want all of it.” And who are the leading figures in this historically ambitious scam that has turned the federal government into a vast and unprecedented shakedown scheme? Why, none other than Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton – the current leaders of the Democratic Party. This pair of smooth-talking con artists, trained in the methods of radical activist Saul Alinsky, have taken his crude but effective political shakedown techniques to a level even he never dreamed of. As the nation approaches a crucial election in 2016, Stealing America is an urgent wakeup call for all Americans who want to prevent this theft from being completed by eight more years of Democratic rule.

In turbulent global times, your study of this subject is increasingly necessary and urgent.

Putinomics
Author: Albrecht Rothacher
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030740773
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
This book sheds new light on the political economy of Russia under Putin’s rule. The author, a former EU diplomat, presents a historical review of the Russian economy and 60 years of state-communist mismanagement, followed by oligarchic privatization. The book offers profound insights into Putin’s rule and the power mechanics of the state-dominated management of the Russian economy. It identifies and assesses the lack of rule of law, together with an arbitrary and often corrupt administration that systematically discourages entrepreneurship and the emergence of an independent middle class. Furthermore, the book discusses Russia’s budgetary policy, its dependence on the export of natural resources, state-owned enterprises and their privileges, and Russia’s external trade. This hard-hitting, substantial analysis debunks the myth of Russia’s economic might and is a must read for anyone seeking to understand the economic realities of the Eurasian continent, or considering doing business with Russia.
