How well has the United Nations managed to “maintain international peace and security, … develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, …and to achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character?”
Any attempt to answer in any depth is far beyond for a blog post, more like a PhD thesis or one of those huge doorstop textbooks!!! But I won’t let that stop me from making a few observations. Read more here.
RM Courts to Become Parish Courts
Legislation just recently passed in the Jamaican Parliament will lead to what are now Resident Magistrate's Courts being changed into what will be referred to as Parish Courts.
The new law is the Judicature (Resident Magistrate’s) (Amendment and Change of Name) Act, 2015 which, among other things, changes the name of these courts from Resident Magistrate’s to Parish Courts.
There will be a chief judge of the Parish Court and an executive legal officer.
Other changes include the introduction of immunity from suit, which is similar to the protection given to superior court judges, and provision for notes of evidence to be recorded by electronic or other measures.
