Important Research Question

Traditional African people are known for respecting their marriage. Even though marriage is so highly regarded, it is astonishing to realise that wife beating has become an extremely common practice amongst them. It therefore becomes an important research question to ask about the extent to which deeply-seated traditional customs regarding wife beating as a form of stamping down authority and of trying to keep the household in order, will have to be confronted with what is deemed to be good practice from the perspective of the law, community and pastoral caregivers. There are women who live with scars on their faces and bodies, having been beaten by their husbands. Although there are many forms of abuse towards women in family situations, this article aims particularly to focus on wife beating that is practiced for traditional as well as other related reasons. This research will involve itself with establishing whether the reasons for wife beating are part of the traditional system for keeping the household in order and interrogate both legal and pastoral interventions that attempt to eliminate or avoid such behaviour.Tradisionele Afrikane is nog altyd daarvoor bekend dat hulle die instelling van die huwelik respekteer. Verbasend genoeg is vroueslanery egter ’n ou gevestigde gebruik wat vandag algemeen onder Afrikane voorkom. Die mate waartoe diepgewortelde gebruike soos vroueslanery as ’n manier om gesag af te dwing en orde in die huis te handhaaf, gekonfronteer sal moet word met wat as goeie praktyk beskou word vanuit die gesigspunt van die reg, die gemeenskap en pastorale versorgers, is dus ’n belangrike navorsingsvraag. Baie vroue dra fisiese en emosionele littekens wat deur hulle eggenote veroorsaak is. Alhoewel daar baie vorme van vrouemishandeling in familiesituasies voorkom, fokus hierdie artikel veral op vroueslanery wat om tradisionele en verwante redes beoefen word. Hierdie navorsing probeer vasstel of die redes vir vroueslanery deel van die tradisionele sisteem uitmaak waarvolgens orde in die huishouding gehandhaaf is. Dit ondersoek regs- sowel as pastorale ingryping wat sodanige gedrag probeer elimineer of voorkom.

Paid Parental Leave

This work is a continuation of the article in the previous issue of the journal. Referendums held in foreign countries over the past six months are considered. On the agenda of the referendum in Switzerland on September 27, 2020, five bills were put: on relations with the EU, on amendments to the law �On Hunting�, on the introduction of paid parental leave for parents, on reducing the tax burden on families, with children, on the allocation of credit for the purchase of a new generation of fighters for the needs of the national air force. On October 4, 2020, the people of New Caledonia again voted to remain part of France. More than half of New Zealanders supported the law, which stipulates that terminally ill people will have a chance to euthanize with the consent of two doctors. Regarding the topical issue of the referendum in Ukraine, the President of Ukraine in his video address confirmed his desire to know the views of citizens on various issues. On June 9, 2020, the draft Law of Ukraine �On Democracy through an All-Ukrainian Referendum� was registered under �3612. One of the initiators of the bill is the President of Ukraine. The explanatory note to the bill states that it is designed to regulate legal relations related to the initiation, appointment (proclamation), preparation, conduct, establishment of results and legal consequences of the all-Ukrainian referendum. The draft law provides for the following types of all-Ukrainian referendum: approval of the law on amendments to sections I, III, XIII of the Constitution of Ukraine; solving issues of national importance; change of the territory of Ukraine; repeal of the law of Ukraine or its separate provisions. A key innovation of the bill, which distinguishes it from other bills, is to determine the possibility of introducing electronic procedures during the organization and conduct of an all-Ukrainian referendum, including electronic voting. On October 9, 2020, the European Commission published the conclusions of the Ukrainian bill �3612. She recommended clarifying the connection between the referendum of national initiatives to repeal laws and the referendum on issues of national importance, to extend the period of collecting signatures for referendums. In June, the Verkhovna Rada supported in the first reading the presidential bill on the all-Ukrainian referendum, provided that it needs to be finalized before the second reading for consideration this fall. In the process of working on the bill, the draft laws on the all-Ukrainian referendum registered in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the eighth and ninth convocations, the relevant legal positions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, as well as international standards and recommendations of international institutions were taken into account national level (2001), Referendums: Towards Good Practice in Europe (2005), On the Code of Good Practice on Referendums (2007) and others.

The paper discusses the legal status, organization and activities of the Private Security Sector in the Republic of Serbia in the function of protection of persons, property and business. The introductory part talks about private security, which in developed countries has an enviable place in the security system. In countries in transition, private security has accompanied social and economic changes and has gained in importance in recent years. After the disintegration of the SFRY for a full twenty years, this sector was not legally regulated by the main law in Serbia, but general regulations were applied, which fragmentarily deal with the issue of FTO and regulate economic business, work and employment. In the second part, the central part, the most important international legal sources and solutions from our national framework are presented. At the end of 2013, the Law on Private Security and the Law on Detective Activity were adopted, as well as bylaws for their implementation. Adequate legal regulations in this area are especially important due to Serbia's application for EU accession and harmonization of regulations with EU law. The concluding part emphasizes the need for further harmonization of norms with the EU, building good practice and the need to strengthen the control and supervision of the private security sector by the state.

Risk Assessment And Management

Health and safety is now of major importance in general and specialist dental practice. Risk assessment and management is essential to ensure that practices are healthy and safe for staff, patients and visitors. Practitioners are required to do all that is reasonably practicable to ensure this. At the same time there is also the need to keep practising costs at an economic level. To comply requires a sound working knowledge of the law and regulations. It also involves turning general policies into specific surgery procedures that prevent accidents and promote good practice. Six new sets of regulations on health, safety and welfare were introduced in 1993 in the U K that brings us into step with matching regulations throughout The European Community. The general requirements, the new regulations and their background are discussed in the first of a two part article. Many of the specific problems related to orthodontic practice are discussed in the second article. Many problems can be addressed inexpensively by modifying working practice but this will need to involve the whole dental team.

This article considers proposals to reform the law in response to recent high profile cases concerning the medical treatment of children, currently before Parliament in the Access to Palliative Care and Treatment of Children Bill 2019–21. It considers the proposed procedural change, to introduce a requirement for mediation before court proceedings, and argues that dispute resolution processes should be a matter of good practice rather than enshrined in law. It argues that the proposed substantive change to determination of best interests would not result in different outcomes because the best interests analysis co-exist with the legal and professional duties of doctors to children in their care. It argues that if there is to be reform of the law it needs to follow from a comprehensive review of all the issues in which the minimum standards imposed by law fit together with good practice standards and not in response to individual cases.
