Spanish Constitution of 1978 - Wikisource The Constitution guarantees the principle of legality, the hierarchy of legal provisions, the publicity of legal statutes, the non-retroactivity of punitive provisions that are not favourable to or restrictive of individual rights, the certainty that the rule of law shall prevail, the accountability of public authorities, and the prohibition of arbitrary action of public authorities. Statutes of Autonomy may provide for the circumstances, requirements and terms under which Self-governing Communities may reach agreements among themselves for the management and rendering of services in matters pertaining to them, as well as for the nature and effects of the corresponding notification to be sent to the Cortes Generales. The draft Statute of Autonomy shall be drawn up by an assembly consisting of members of the Provincial Council or inter-island body of the provinces concerned, and the respective Members of Congress and Senators elected in them, and shall be sent to the Cortes Generales for its drafting as an Act. sources.wikipedia.org /wiki/Spanish_Constitution_of_1978   (15258 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) The objects of a modern arbitration statute are the fair resolution of disputes by an impartial tribunal without unnecessary delay and expense; party autonomy; balanced powers for the courts; and adequate powers for the arbitral tribunal to conduct the reference effectively. It recognises the principle of party autonomy, by allowing the parties to agree on the manner and the extent to which oral evidence should be recorded, having regard to the amount in dispute and the complexity of the dispute. S 25 was apparently introduced into the current statute "to reflect a supposed 'rule of practice' applying to all judicial and quasi-judicial proceedings". The moment of publication is of practical importance as it marks the commencement of the six-week period within which court proceedings to review the award must normally be launched. www.law.wits.ac.za /salc/discussn/domarbit.doc   (15934 words)

History of Catalonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Catalan Generalitat was revived, and a September 1932 statute of autonomy for Catalonia gave a strong, though not absolute, grant of self-government. As in the rest of Spain, the Franco era (1939–1975) in Catalonia saw the annulment of democratic liberties, the prohibition and persecution of parties, the rise of thoroughgoing censorship, and the banning of all leftist institutions. In 1979, the statute of autonomy was finally approved delegating more automomy in matters of education and culture than the 1932 statute, but less in terms of the systems of justice and public order. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/History_of_Catalonia   (4999 words)

Euskal Herria Journal | A Basque Journal | Navarre   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) The statute presented to the Basque electorate for approval was not the one drafted in Gasteiz and Gernika (the Gernika Statute) by the regional parties but a profound modified version (the Moncloa Statute) negotiated at the Moncloa palace in Madrid between the PNV and the center-right alliance that carried out Spain's Francoist political reform.

Unlike the Statute of Autonomy of 1933 granted to Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa during the Spanish Second Republic, which was approved by 84% of the Basque electorate, with the same question and in the same territory, the Statute of Autonomy of 1979 was approved by 53% of the Basque electorate. www.ehj-navarre.org /navarre/na_adminter_nfba.html   (1581 words)

Community College Governance Statutes and practice also support the planning agency model, with local college boards having significant policy authority as well, including setting their own institutional missions and appointing their chief executive officers. Statutes and practices associated with community college funding send mixed messages regarding which level of government, local or state, is in charge. Statutes establish the contingency reserve fund, commonly referred to as coal lease bonus funds, which receives ten percent, up to $1.6 million per year, of federal bonus payments attributable to coal, oil shale, and geothermal leases of federal land. legisweb.state.wy.us /progeval/reports/1999/college.htm   (18754 words)

[No title] Despite string opposition from the South Tyrolese representatives, the autonomy which in the Paris Agreement had been foreseen for South Tyrol alone was extended in the 1948 Autonomy Statute to the Trentino, and the "Region Trentino - Tiroler Etschland" was created. With this statute the powers of the Region and the Provinces were redefined, with the powers of the two Provinces substantially increased in comparison with the past. Nearly 2/3 of the legal requirements of the South Tyrolese Autonomy Statute have been rewritten This reform of the Autonomy Statute led to the third Autonomy Statute and it is the most important and most extensive amendment since the passing of the second Autonomy Statute in 1972. www.provinz.bz.it /english/overview/autonomy_statute.htm   (1286 words)

Sampson et al. v State of Alaska (09/21/2001) sp-5474 The manslaughter statute's assisted suicide prohibition regulates the conduct of the physician who assists in a suicide, not the conduct of the patient who commits the suicide. To the extent that the manslaughter statute's general prohibition of assisted suicide prevents terminally ill patients from seeking a physician's help in ending their lives, we agree that the provision substantially interferes with Sampson and Doe's general privacy and liberty interests, as guaranteed by the Alaska Constitution. This statute and the other old criminal statutes were largely unchanged from the territorial law -- itself a derivation of Oregon law enacted by Congress and applied to Alaska in 1899. www.touchngo.com /sp/html/sp-5474.htm   (4139 words)

12. Political autonomy and conflict resolution: The Basque case The Statute was obtained at the late date of 1936, in the midst of the Civil War, at a time when the Spanish Republican government needed to attract Basque support in the struggle against fascism and the insurgent military forces. At the time the Basque Statute of Autonomy was approved, the majority political forces in Navarre decided not to be included, choosing instead to constitute their own Autonomous Community. Indeed, the Statute of Autonomy of the Basque Country boasts a qualitative uniqueness, as shown by its granting of significant and distinct powers, whose approval is directly based on the admission of historical rights. www.unu.edu /unupress/unupbooks/uu12ee/uu12ee0m.htm   (5415 words)

Converted file rts Brazauskas would have us apply the fllisting statute and tort law to penalize communication and coordination among church officials (all answerable to higher church authority that has directed them to work cooperatively) on a matter of internal church policy and administration that did not culminate in any illegal act. As to the communicative activity defense, the phrase from Smith cited by the majority is part of a larger discussion in which the Supreme Court stated its precedents could not be read to allow individuals to engage in otherwise prohibited conduct merely because the conduct is accompanied by religious conviction. The Indiana fllisting statute and the tort of interference with prospective advantage are religiously neutral and generally applicable. www.ai.org /judiciary/opinions/archive/09250301.rts.html   (3388 words)

GALICIAN POLITICAL DATA In the legal context, the Statute of Galician Autonomy, which was passed in 1981, recognises the historical condition of this Nation and the right to defend its identity and interests. The Statute of Autonomy establishes Galician as the official language of Galicia, but in unfair official coexistence with Spanish, and reflects upon the obligation of public powers to strengthen the use of this language in all areas of daily life. In order that its political autonomy should develop, Galicia has its own parliament (the legislative body, made up of 75 delegates elected by way of free suffrage every four years), the Xunta (the executive body) and its President (elected by Parliament) and the Galician Supreme Court. usuarios.lycos.es /Celtic_Galiza/politics.html   (223 words)

Odontocat: History of Catalonia < The Second Modern Generalitat, Reestablished Between 1977 and 1980   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) Shortly thereafter, a commission of experts appointed by the Catalan Assembly composed of Members of Parliament who had been elected in the June 1977 elections began drafting the Statute of Autonomy known, after the place where it was drawn up, as the Statute of Sau. A year later, on 18 December 1979, he also sanctioned the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia which had been approved first by the Spanish Cortes and subsequently by a referendum of the people of Catalonia held in October 1979.

ASTURIAN IN SPAIN However, this body did not achieve official status for the language in the Statute of Autonomy (1981), although the existence of the Asturian language was recognised, and the Academia de la Llingua Asturiana was established as an official academy by the Principality of Asturias. The ambiguity of the Statute of Autonomy, which recognises the existence of Asturian but does not put it on the same level than Spanish, leaves the door open to the de facto lack of protection of Asturian. The Statute of Autonomy of Castile and Leon makes no reference to the existence of the language, and the awareness of linguistic unity among its speakers has been virtually lost. www.uoc.edu /euromosaic/web/document/asturia/an/i1/i1.html   (5161 words)

Virtual Tour - The path toward the autonomy Trentino's vocation for autonomy can be dated back to 1848 when, at the Frankfurt Assembly, the Trentino delegation lead by bishop Giovanni a Prato, submitted a petition with 46,000 signatures asking for the administrative separation of Trentino from German Tyrol. These agreements foresaw special provisions for the safeguarding of the German-speaking population.The next step consisted in the approval, on January 29, 1948, of the Statute of Autonomy which guaranteed ample administrative and legislative competence to the Region and minor powers to the two Provinces of Trento and Bolzano. The final Statute of Autonomy was achieved in 1972, transferring the real autonomous power from the Region to the two Provinces of Trento and Bolzano. www.museostorico.tn.it /english/visita/autonomia/index.htm   (247 words)

The Spanish Revolution 1931-39: The National Question in the 1930s The Statute of Catalan Autonomy was submitted to a plebiscite on Aug. 2, 1931, and approved by 99% of voters and 75% of the electoral vote. Refusing to approve the statute of autonomy, and, threatened by the growth of the worker movement,it granted the Basque clericals a new influence among the masses.

Spain - Regional Government The Constitution proclaims the indissoluble unity of the nation, but it recognizes and guarantees the right to autonomy of the nationalities and the regions of which the state is composed. Although the communities employing the rapid procedure gained a greater degree of autonomy than the other communities for the time being, ultimately--although probably not until sometimes in the 1990s--all were to have an equal degree of autonomy. The Constitution declares that the financial autonomy of the communities must be exercised in coordination with the policies of the central government, which is ultimately responsible for taxation and for guaranteeing equal opportunities for all citizens. www.countrystudies.us /spain/78.htm   (1480 words)

Valencia (autonomous community)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) Valencia is an autonomous community (comunidad autónoma) of eastern Spain, encompassing the Spanish levantine provinces of Castellón, Valencia, and Alicante and was established by the statute of autonomy of July 1, 1982. The regional government was formalized as the Generalitat del Regne in 1418 and was nullified in 1707 by the decree of Nueva Planta, which brought the region under the laws and administration prevailing in the rest of Spain. Various political parties advocating Valencian autonomy came to the fore after World War I. The comunidad autónoma government established in 1982 consists of an executive council, headed by a president, and a unicameral legislative assembly, or cortes. www.orbilat.com /Encyclopaedia/V/Valencia_community.html   (893 words)

Generalitat de Catalunya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia After this, the Catalan autonomy was delineated in conformity with the new Spanish Constitution (1978), with the approval of the Catalan Statute of Autonomy (Estatut d'Autonomia). The Catalan Statute is still in force today, in spite of many Catalan politicians defending its reform, in order to extend and protect Catalan autonomy (against what they see as a centralist backlash from the Spanish government). In the system defended by some, Catalonia would have sufficient autonomy to have its own representation in the European Union and other more symbolic issues like having its own national sport teams in international competitions, like Scotland, Wales and England. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Generalitat_de_Catalunya   (486 words)

Catalonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This has become a mainstream issue, as the Catalan Statue of Autonomy is to be reformed in 2005 [10]. With widespread public support, plans to include a high degree of fiscal autonomy are being inked, after studies published by various universities confirmed high levels of fiscal deficit (that is, the region pays more than it receives)[11]. Catalan is one of the two official languages of Catalonia, as laid down in the Catalan Statute of Autonomy [16]; the other is Castilian (Spanish), which is the majority language of Spain and official in all of Spain as laid down by the 1978 Spanish Constitution. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Catalonia   (3069 words)

A PRECARIOUS AUTONOMY. Unitat Nacional Catalana The Statute of Autonomy wasapproved more than twenty years ago, and it was exactly twenty years ago that this exceptional Catalan who is Jordi Pujol began to administer it as President of the Gencralitat, a winner of all the elections that have taken place since then. The present Autonomy is already inferior to the one foreseen by the Statute approved by the main Spanish political forces. Our Autonomy is unable to face with enough agility and creativity the problems brought by the Europeanization and globalization of the modern world, two very welcome processes in any case. www.unitat.org /nacio/autoe.html   (980 words)
