Lack of engagement with rangelands by the general public, politicians and some practitioners has led to policy failure and unsustainable practice. We argue that thinking in terms of cultural reciprocity with land will lead to greater sustainability of rangeland uses. Many grass-roots initiatives are already showing the way by working at the boundary of science, society and decision makers, involving everyone with a stake in the outcome and developing genuine collaboration and acceptance of diverse value systems.

Finland represents an educational utopia for many educators and decision-makers around the world. The Nordic country is known for its excellence in learning results and the emphasis it lays on equality/equity in education. This paper focuses on the way the latter has been presented and constructed in two popular commercial products on Finnish education: a book and a 60-minute documentary. Audiences for both include educational scholars and practitioners, decision-makers and the general public. The authors examine assumptions, ideologies, and silences in the discussions of equality and equity behind the discourse of excellence in Finnish education. As Finland is actively involved in marketing its education around the world, this calls for a review of the myths and realities of Finnish education.

The Way

The problem of corporal punishment of children occupies significant attention of general public and professionals, and also opens up moral, legal and political issues. In recent years, ideas about the introduction of a complete and explicit prohibition of corporal punishment of children have been strengthening globally. Proponents of the ban of corporal punishment are opposed by those who believe that the introduction of a ban implies a restriction on the right to private and family life and a reduction of parental rights, and also that the ban represents an attack on traditional values. In order to comprehensively understand the phenomenon of corporal punishment, presentations in the paper are designed so that corporal punishment of children is viewed from pedagogical, sociological and international law aspects, with emphasis on the reasons that speak in favor and against this type of punishment. The author has also tried to point out to the circumstances in Serbia, and to express his own position about the way in which the law in Serbia should treat corporal punishment of children.

Abstract Waqf is a good deed dedicated by waqif (the person who gives waqf) to his property to nadlir (administrators / recipients of waqf) so that the object can be used by the general public. After the waqf pledge was stated by waqif, then from that moment the ownership of the object was moved to Allah, meaning that the general public now has the right to benefit the object that is represented (mauquuf). The concept that is commonly understood by society as told by the jurists (jurisprudence experts) in some literacies, that waqf is holding back property and using it in the way of Allah, said Sayyid Sabiq in his Sunnah fiqh. On the other hand this opinion is reinforced by the hadith narrated by Ibn Umar whose hadith chunks state: "If you want to, forgive the land and give the results. Then Umar converted his land in Khaibar with the understanding that it should not be sold, granted and inherited". From the statement of the hadith, the understanding was that waqf was eternal and not limited by time (ta’biid - forever). But in other literacy, it was found a statement that waqf may be limited by time (muaqqot), this opinion was stated by Imam Malik. This means that people may endow their land for a certain period of time. And even this, by him is considered legitimate as a waqf contract that is not limited by time. This paper tries to look at these two opinions and analyze them and conclude to draw the red thread caused by the law. Keywords: Endowments, Time Limits Abstrak Wakaf adalah sebuah amal shalih yang didedikasikan oleh waqif (orang yang memberikan wakaf) terhadap harta bendanya kepada nadlir (pengurus/penerima wakaf) agar benda itu bisa dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat umum. Setelah ikrar wakaf itu dinyatakan oleh waqif, maka mulai saat itu pindahlah kepemilikan benda itu kepada Allah, artinya masyarakat umumlah yang sekarang ini memiliki hak atas manfaat benda yang diwakafkan (mauquuf). Konsep yang umum dipahami oleh masyarakat sebagai dituturkan oleh para fuqaha (ahli fiqih) dalam beberapa literasinya, bahwa wakaf adalah menahan harta dan memanfaatkannya di jalan Allah, demikian disampaikan oleh Sayyid Sabiq dalam fiqih sunnahnya. Di sisi lain pendapat ini diperkuat oleh hadist yang diriwayatkan oleh Ibnu Umar yang potongan hadist itu menyatakan :”Jika engakau mau, wakafkanlah tanah itu dan sedekahkanlah hasilnya. Lalu Umar mewakafkan tanahnya di Khaibar itu dengan pengertian tidak boleh dijual, dihibahkan dan diwariskan”. Dari keterangan hadist itu diambil pengertian bahwa wakaf bersifat abadi dan tidak dibatasi oleh waktu (ta’biid - selama-lamanya).

Artinya orang boleh mewakafkan tanahnya dengan jangka waktu tertentu. Dan inipun, olehnya dinilai sah akadnya sebagaimana wakaf yang tidak dibatasi dengan waktu. Tulisan ini mencoba menilik dua pendapat tersebut dan menganalisanya serta menyimpulkannya untuk menarik benang merah akibat hukum yang ditimbulkannya. Kata Kunci: Wakaf, Batasan Waktu

How can a supreme audit institution (SAI) use design thinking in auditing? SAIs audit the way taxpayers’ money is collected and spent. Adding design thinking to their activities is not to be taken lightly. SAIs independently check whether public organizations have done the right things in the right way, but the organizations might not be willing to act upon a SAI’s recommendations. Can you imagine the role of design in audits? In this paper we share our experiences of some design approaches in the work of one SAI: the Netherlands Court of Audit (NCA). Design thinking needs to be adapted (Dorst, 2015a) before it can be used by SAIs such as the NCA in order to reflect their independent, autonomous status. To dive deeper into design thinking, Buchanan’s design framework (2015) and different ways of reasoning (Dorst, 2015b) are used to explore how design thinking can be adapted for audits.

The 1948 Nakba has, in light of the 1993 Oslo Accords and Palestinian refugee activists' mobilisation around the right of return, taken on a new-found centrality and importance in Palestinian refugee communities. Closely-related to this, members of the ‘Generation of Palestine’, the only individuals who can recollect Nakba memories, have come to be seen as the guardians of memories that are eventually to reclaim the homeland. These historical, social and political realities are deeply rooted in the ways in which the few remaining members of the generation of Palestine recollect 1948. Moreover, as members of communities that were destroyed in Palestine, and whose common and temporal and spatial frameworks were non-linearly constituted anew in Syria, one of the multiples meanings of the Nakba today can be found in the way the refugee communities perceive and define this generation.

In the 18th century, although the Dutch Company controlled most of the archipelago, the Netherlands also experienced a decline in trade. This was due to the large number of corrupt employees and the fall in the price of spices which eventually created the VOC. Under the rule of H.W. Daendels, the colonial government began to change the way of exploitation from the old conservative way which focused on trade through the VOC to exploitation managed by the government and the private sector. Ulama also strengthen their ties with the general public through judicial management, and compensation, and waqaf assets, and by leading congregational prayers and various ceremonies for celebrating birth, marriage and death. Their links with a large number of artisans, workers (workers), and the merchant elite were very influential.

There is a consensus about the existence of an international right to vote in democratic elections. Yet states disagree about the limits of this right when it comes to the case of prisoners’ disenfranchisement. Some states allow all prisoners to vote, some disenfranchise all prisoners, and others allow only some prisoners to vote. This chapter argues that national courts view the international right to vote in three fundamentally different ways: some view it as an inalienable right that cannot be taken away, some view it merely as a privilege that doesn’t belong to the citizens, and others view it as a revocable right that can be taken away under certain conditions. The differences in the way states conceive the right to vote imply that attempts by the European Court of Human Rights to follow the policies of the majority of European states by using the Emerging Consensus doctrine are problematic.

What is it for a concept to be normative? Some possible answers are explored and rejected, among them that a concept is normative if it ascribes a normative property. The positive answer defended is that a concept is normative if it is in the right way associated with a normative use. Among issues discussed along the way are the nature of analyticity, and there being a notion of analyticity—what I call semantic analyticity—such that a statement can be analytic in this sense while failing to be true. Considerations regarding thick concepts and slurs are brought to bear on the issues that come up.

‘Ordinary’ employment contracts—including those of domestic servants—have been deemed to attract diplomatic immunity because they fall within the scope of diplomatic functions. This chapter highlights the potential for conflict between these forms of immunity and the rights of the employees, and reflects on cases in which personal servants of diplomatic agents have challenged both the existence of immunity and the scope of its application. The chapter examines claims that the exercise of diplomatic immunity might violate the right to a fair trial under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights and the way in which courts have dealt with these issues. The chapter analyses diplomats’ own employment claims and notes that they are usually blocked by the assertion of immunity, but also reflects on more recent developments in which claims had been considered which were incidental to diplomatic employment (eg Nigeria v Ogbonna [2012]).
