Making Law in Papua New Guinea

Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 538
Book Description
"In the waning days of colonialism in Papua New Guinea, much of the rhetoric from local leaders pushing for self-determination focused on replacing the imposed colonial legal system with one that reflected local customs, understandings, relationships, and dispute settlement techniques-in other words, a "uniquely Melanesian jurisprudence." After independence in 1975, however, that aim faded or began to be seen as an impossible objective, and PNG is left with a largely Western legal system. In this book, the authors-who were all directly involved in law teaching, law reform, and judging during that period-explore the potent and enduring grip of colonialism on law and politics long after the colonial regime has been formally disbanded. Combining original historical and legal research, engagement with the scholarly literature of dependency theory and postcolonial studies, and personal observation, interviews, and experience, Making Law in Papua New Guinea offers compelling insights into the many reasons why postcolonial nations remain imprisoned in colonial laws, institutions, and attitudes"--

Development of Administrative Law in Papua New Guinea
Author: Eric Lokai KwaPublisher: University of Papua New Guinea Press
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
The essays contained in this volume deal with important issues regarding the development and parameters of the principles and application of administrative law. They reconcile the different administrative law principles as enunciated by various judges, law practitioners, legal luminaries and human rights activists from various parts of the world, and provide a rich experience and background of the subject. They were initially submitted at a workshop organised by the then Law Faculty of the University of Papua New Guinea in 1996. These papers were later edited to ensure comprehension of administrative law in all its gamuts by the students, advocates, legal practitioners and administrators, not only in Papua New Guinea, to whom this book is addressed, but in other parts of the world as well. All these essays have been grouped into five parts: origins of administrative law, rules of natural justice, the judicial review process, human rights and administrative law, and the role of judges in a democratic state. The publication of the book has coincided with Papua New Guinea's Silver Jubilee Year of Independence.

The Annotated Constitution of Papua New Guinea
Author: Brian BruntonPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 612
Book Description
The Constitution of Papua New Guinea is both a document in legal theory -- stating the goals and basic premises of the society -- and a set of laws: the fundamental laws of the nation. It is a 'home grown' political and legal roadmap for the nation's development, underpinned by ideas of national self-respect, democracy and equality. This book contains the text of the Constitution of Papua New Guinea, annotated with the authors' comments and references to relevant reports and judgments. It is an essential reference book not only for lawyers, law students and judges but also for Members of Parliament and members of the State Services who, in the performance of their duties to the people, must be guided by the laws of the country.
