    No full text
    This research deals with the legislative expansion of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms that take place away from state jurisdiction and its complex procedures. These mechanisms are namely: arbitration, conciliation and mediation. The research focuses mainly on judicial mediation as a way to reduce burden on the court through the separation of civil, commercial and real estate disputes. In this way, judicial mediation will help save time and potential expenses and ensure the continuity of the relationship between the parties, in the community’s best interest. The importance of the critical analytical study is that it considers the provisions of the law issued by the Lebanese legislator in 2018 regarding judicial mediation in light of other national provisions, such as Egyptian, French law, and European and international provisions. The research explores three main ideas: the mediation’s features and its differences with similar concepts, mediation procedures and completion of the mediation process

    Get PDF
    Throughout an extensive period of time, advanced mechanical tools such as robotic arms have been a common prospect in many production industries. Today, and as the potentials in digital design and fabrication technologies are seen to enhance complex tridimensional construction processes, robots are rapidly being integrated within the architectural education curriculum. In a relatively short amount of time, many architectural faculties around the globe have set up experimental digital fabrication laboratories with 3D printers, CNC machines, and robotic arms. This paper will argue the use of robots in education beyond the opportunities provided by the already traditional automated modes of fabrication, trying to appreciate design and fabrication methodologies as open interfaces that challenge students with problem-solving, advanced geometry, and programming

    ADAPTING MERITED AND AWARD-WINNING BUILDINGDSPERMITTED LEVELS AND NON-NEGOTIABLE VALUES: THE CASE OF THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA, ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT

    Get PDF
    The practice of launching international architectural design competitions to key and important buildings in Egypt is not a new trend. Once built, those award-winning buildings usually undergo a modification process either by their owners or occupants. Owners or occupants always modify these buildings so that their performance would be adapted to certain local parameters. These modifications, however, may touch upon some of the original qualities that had donated those designs merits and recognitions at the time of their selection as prize winners. Many of these significant award-winning buildings might be considered as modern heritage resources, thus developing another layer of significance that might also influence the appropriateness of any modifications undertaken to them. This paper presents an overview on how some buildings have been altered. The aim was to infer the architectural qualities which were affected by the modification processes, and attempt to define some non-negotiable parameters that should be preserved in such buildings in order to keep their architectural merits. The research tried to answer the following questions: - Is it ethical, professional or legal to modify an award winning architectural project? - Are there regulations or codes of practice that control and/or prohibit modifications of certain architectural qualities in award-winning buildings? The paper also tried to examine the various heritage values that might be satisfied by the case study, which is the Library of Alexandria, and to examine the influences of these values on the adaptability of the modern alterations to the Library. The findings of the study, in relation to the new addition to the Library of Alexandria as a modern heritage resource, indicated that the addition was found to contribute positively towards some heritage values, such as the use value, and was also found to contribute negatively towards other values, such as the townscape value. The study recommends that the regulations of the international and local architectural competitions should explicitly involve guidelines that help in guiding architects while designing modern additions to such award-winning buildings, so as to guarantee the survival of the qualities that allowed these buildings the chance to win these awards

    The Islamic legislation was characterized by its adaptability, flexibility and its general content which include the Islamic Criminal legislation. The criminal law is based on the legality principle; which means that there is neither a crime nor a penalty without text stating that. There are different types of penalties, those specified and estimated and not condoned when the penalty is implemented, and the unappreciated penalties which are subject to the discretionary power of the judge. The basic principle that a party is innocent until proven the opposite (guilty) by acknowledgment or by oath. The main target of Islamic legislation is rooting and stating penalties of deterrence as well as the punishment when the crime has been committed

    The impact of Anglo-American law on the International Contract

    No full text
    The analysis of international texts shows that the rules of Anglo-American law are the most used to regulate International contracts from their formation until their extinction. The combination of various factors explains this current phenomenon of influence of Anglo-American law and reveals its magnitude. On the one hand, the phenomenon of globalization, which is expressed essentially by the internationalization of the economy, has led to competition between nations for the attractiveness of their norms. The flexibility and pragmatism of Anglo-American law, on the other hand, seem to have prevailed over the legitimacy of civil law. Finally, the expansion of the tools resulting from the economic analysis of the law in the different cosmopolitan legal systems undoubtedly materializes this Anglo-American phenomenon of penetration of the economic dimension in the legal sphere. In addition, several Anglo-American contractual mechanisms are imported into the projects of unification of the law of international contracts ; the effectively convey the legal philosophy of the common lawyers

    We have covered in this study, the types of legal accountability of the Head of the State, within the framework of public law and international criminal law. This liability includes: First: constitutional or political accountability, second: administrative responsibility, third: Criminal responsibility and finally International Criminal Responsibility. At the end, we had a general recommendation, which is: The head of state is a person by nature, and he is not infallible. Therefore, we can conclude that the head of the state must be constitutionally accountable, with or without powers, and he must be held accountable administratively, whether he is a direct manager. Also he must be held criminally accountable like any other citizen. He has the guarantees of any citizen without complications, and he is naturally responsible, as individuals, if he commits an international crime
