Democratic platform illustrated
No full textAnother attack on the 1856 Democratic platform as pro-South and proslavery. The Buchanan-Breckenridge ticket is reviled on the basis of recent developments occurring during the outgoing Pierce administration. In the center of the picture is a flagstaff bearing an American flag inscribed "Buchanan & Breckenridge. Modern Democracy." To its base are chained two slaves (right)--a man and a woman. The woman kneels before an overseer with a whip and pistol in his pocket, and asks, "Is this Democracy?" The overseer declares, "We will subdue you." In the background one of Cuba's coastal towns burns and is fired upon by a ship. The scene probably refers to expressed Democratic ambitions to annex Cuba for the expansion of American slave territory. The phrase "A due regard for our just rights in the Gulf of Mexico" appears above the burning town. A similar scene of conflagration, "Squatter sovereignty demonstrated," appears in the left background. Here a settlement in Kansas burns and its inhabitants are driven away by armed marauders. Reference is to atrocities committed in the wake of the Kansas-Nebraska Act of May 1854, which was endorsed by the Democratic platform. The act provided for dividing the Nebraska territory into two parts, each later to be admitted into the Union as either slave or free, as decided in each case by popular (or "squatter") sovereignty. The measure ushered in a bloody struggle between proslavery and antislavery settlers over control of Kansas. The antislavery town of Lawrence, Kansas, was invaded and sacked by a proslavery posse on May 21, 1856. In the left foreground is Preston S. Brooks's May 22 attack on Charles Sumner in Congress.

The European asylum policy : myth and reality
No full textThe first phase of European Asylum Policy (EAP) has been in all senses characterised by the principle of “minimum standards” stated in the Amsterdam Treaty amendments, with minimal binding force for some provisions, the possibility of exemptions and of options and discretionary competence often left to the States. With the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty the situation should radically change. Since, according to new Article 61 par. 2 of the Consolidated version of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, “The Union... shall frame a common policy on asylum”. Which means more than the simple adoption of “measures” on asylum. In order to achieve that goal, further law rapprochement is needed. But also common standards for decision taking
