Rethinking Suresh: Refoulement to Torture Under Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Get PDFThis article takes the European Court of Human
Rights’ decision in Saadi v. Italy and uses it as an
opportunity to re-examine the Canadian case of Suresh
v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration).
The author argues that the national security exception
in Suresh is no longer tenable in light of subsequent
developments in both international and Canadian law.
The author concludes that the Supreme Court of
Canada should reject the Suresh exception at its first
opportunity and adopt an approach to review of
refoulement cases similar to that under the United
Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel,
Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and
the European Convention for the Protection of Human
Rights and Fundamental Freedoms
Suresh Chandra on Historiography of Civilisation: With reference to Dravidian Civilisation
Get PDFThis paper attempts to give a critical appraisal of Professor Suresh Chandra’s views on Historiography of Civilization with reference to Dravidian Civilization. “Historiography of Indian Civilization: Harappans, Dravidians, Aryans and Gandhi’s freedom struggle” (published in JICPR June 1996) and “Demythologizing History: Dravidians in Relation to Harappans and the Aryans” (presented in the seminar on Dravidian Philosophy organized by Dravidian University, Kuppam) are the two significant works which are devoted to Historiography of civilization by Prof. Suresh Chandra. This paper mainly confines to the first article since the second one, as the author himself stated, is an offshoot of the first
Novel Dialogue 2.3: Because I Couldn't Be a Dancer: Sigrid Nunez and Tara Menon (JP)
No full textThe brilliant New York writer Sigrid Nunez's most recent novel is What Are You Going Through; her previous one, The Friend, (2018) won the National Book Award. She speaks with Tara Menon, of the Harvard English department, and author of a terrific article about Sigrid Nunez in the Sewanee Review. The conversation ranges widely and then plunges into depths. Because life is defined by grief and mourning, so too are my novels, says Nunez. She thinks her upbringing with immigrant parents who felt adrift from their homeland and her own "failure" as a dancer (recounted in her 1995 debut novel, A Feather on the Breath of God ) are the ferment from which her vocation as a writer arose. The question of genre is tossed around: "fictional memoir" perhaps, which gets confused (insultingly, Tara thinks!) with auto-fiction. But Sigrid is fascinated by establishing a reality that is entirely made-up ("not a single friend angry!"), yet also documentary in nature. Perhaps the best tag for her work is "essay novel": that allows one to do what Javier Marias calls "literary thinking." And there's a wonderfully non-Pavlovian answer to the treat question: sometimes you can just have the whiskey
The Suresh Case and Unimplemented Treaty Norms
No full textThis paper examines the role of unimplemented international treaty norms in the Canadian domestic legal system. The discussion focuses on the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in Suresh , which is first investigated in some detail. In a unanimous judgement, it was held that the untransformed International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment ought to inform the interpretation of the principles of fundamental justice in section 7 of the Charter and assist in deciding whether the exercise of power to deport under the Immigration Act was constitutional, given that the appellant could face torture if refoulé. The author refers to other recent decisions from the country's highest court where unimplemented treaty obligations were used in the interpretation of Canada's domestic law, namely, the Baker case in 1999 and the Hudson case in 2001. In conclusion, these developments are put in the broader contemporary strategy favouring contextual legislative interpretation, which includes resorting to international law, a trend that can be traced back to the adoption of the Charter in 1982.Ce texte examine les normes internationales issues de traités non implantés et leur rôle en droit interne canadien. La discussion se concentre sur la décision de la Cour suprême du Canada dans l'affaire Suresh, qui est tout d'abord analysée en détail. Dans un jugement unanime, on a décidé que le Pacte international relatif aux droits civils et politiques et la Convention contre la torture et autres peines ou traitements cruels, inhumains ou dégradants, qui ne sont pas mis en œuvre au Canada, devraient aider à l'interprétation des principes de justice fondamentale sous l'article 7 de la Charte et à savoir si l'exercice du pouvoir de déporter en vertu de la Loi sur l'immigration était constitutionnel, vu la possibilité de torture en cas de refoulement. L'auteur voit d'autres décisions récentes où le plus haut tribunal du pays a considéré ces obligations conventionnelles non transformées lors de l'interprétation de lois canadiennes, soit les causes Baker en 1999 et Hudson en 2001. En conclusion, il est suggéré que ces développements s'inscrivent dans la stratégie générale moderne favorisant l'interprétation législative contextuelle, qui comprend le recours au droit international, une tendance forte depuis l'adoption de la Charte en 1982.Beaulac Stéphane.

A priori and a posteriori analysis of the hybrid two-level large-eddy simulation method for high Reynolds number complex flows
No full textWe present a priori and a posteriori analysis of the assumptions and predictions of the hybrid two-level large-eddy simulation (TLS-LES) method for high Reynolds number complex flows. The TLS-LES methodology is a multi-scale framework for simulation of turbulent flows in complex configurations at practically relevant Reynolds number. It additively combines the two-level simulation (TLS) model with a conventional large-eddy simulation (LES) approach by employing a static or dynamic blending function. In the present study, first we analyze the model assumptions employed by the TLS model to obtain the small-scale solution necessary for closure of the large-scale equations. Afterward, we analyze the large-scale and small-scale solutions to assess the predictive ability of the multi-scale framework for specific turbulence physics such as role of forward and backscatter of energy and presence of co- and counter-gradient diffusion. To perform these investigations, we consider cases with increasing degree of geometrical complexity, namely, flow in a periodic channel, flow past a bump placed on the lower surface of the channel and flow past a finite-span NACA0015 airfoil
Nursery rearing of Indian pompano in different culture systems
Get PDFFisheries and aquaculture play a pivotal role in food production, nutritional security
and employment generation for millions of people. Coastal marine aquaculture is one of
the emerging area for marine food fish production, and is mainly performed in the sea and
in coastal ponds. Mariculture and coastal aquaculture collectively produced 30.8 million
tonnes (USD 106.5 billion) of aquatic animals in 2018, and they are mainly from marine
cages, coastal cages and coastal earthen ponds. Increasing marine food fish production
through innovative and intensive culture methods has increased demand for marine finfish
seeds either from wild collection or hatchery based production. In this context, nursery
rearing plays an important role in supplying sufficient number of fingerlings at ready to
stockable size in grow-out culture for better survival and faster growth. Larval rearing
ends after the larvae achieve full metamorphosis. Fry harvested from larval tanks are often
not strong enough for direct stocking in grow-out farms. Thus, nursery rearing of fish larvae
is important for production of stockable size fish in grow-out culture system. The concept
of nursery rearing system is an age old practice in finfish aquaculture. It was evident that
healthy seeds are key to a good healthy grow out culture and subsequent harvest.
Maintaining healthy and disease free stock is of prime importance for achieving better
production in grow-out system. So, nursery rearing concept gives better opportunity to
maintain large numbers of fish fingerlings in small area, which facilitate for effective
management. In aquaculture, three tier farming concept is practiced and has been well
advocated in commercial farming systems for both fish and shrimp aquaculture. The major
steps in farming operations are initial larval rearing, mid nursery rearing and final growout phase. The mid nursery rearing is the crucial phase in farming practices, where properly
managed and well nurtured individuals will perform better with high growth, better
survival, and reduced culture duration in grow-out period. Nursery rearing practices are
classified into two major categories; indoor and outdoor systems; where indoor based culture
is performed either by flow through or recirculation based concept in FRP (Fibre Reinforced

Il bene del filosofo e il limite della città. Sulla politica filosofica di Leo Strauss
No full textThe intention of this paper is to show how Leo Straussʼ mature writings respond to the twofold necessity of political philosophy: contributing, at the same time, to the good of the city and to the good of the philosophers. In the first place, it will try to prove this point by analyzing in detail the Introduction to On Tyranny (1948), which represents an essential step in order to understand the intention of the author. In the second place, it will tackle the problem of justice, that is, of natural right, by concentrating on the so called " tyrannical teaching ". This teaching is a way to present a truth which the city cannot find acceptable, that is, an unpleasant truth concerning the irresoluble problem of justice and legitimacy. In conclusion, it will point to the tension between philosophy, i.e., search for knowledge, and the city, i.e., the realm of opinion. For the philosopher, as such, has to " corrupt " the young in order to pursue his search for knowledge of the whole, or the nature of all things. Therefore, he weakens the city, since philosophizing implies unbelief in the gods of the city
