Queen Elizabeth II should be the final Head of the Commonwealth
No full textLurking not far beneath the surface of the current celebrations of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee is a nagging
anxiety: what happens next? Nowhere is this more acute than in Commonwealth circles. The future of the headship
of the Commonwealth, a role the Queen has played with such dedication, is in doubt. Should it pass to her heir,
Prince Charles? Dig a little deeper and you soon encounter off-the-record expressions of doubt about Charles’s
suitability. Amid the rather awkward and embarrassed murmurings that pass for debate on this issue, the cases for
and against Charles inheriting the headship have barely been explored or discussed. Set out systematically, both
sets of arguments are powerful and both deserve to be taken seriously. Ultimately, however, we conclude that the
interests of the Commonwealth would be best served if the post of Head of the Commonwealth ceased to exist at
the end of Her Majesty’s reign
Beyond the veneer of reconciliation: human rights and democracy in Rwanda
No full textIn this Opinion piece, PhD candidate Jennifer Melvin argues that Rwanda’s national unity and reconciliation
programme promotes two differing but inter-related political images at the domestic and international levels. She
analyses how these images are constructed and disseminated to the national population and international community
of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), donors and foreign investors. Jennifer argues that the current Rwandan
Patriotic Front (RPF) government successfully manipulates national reconciliation to bolster political support,
silence opposition and promote development that is primarily uneven. She urges the Commonwealth to look beyond
the appearance of unity, and reconciliation to consider the detrimental consequences of government programming
upon democracy and human rights in Rwanda

Brexit and private international law in the Commonwealth
Get PDFBrexit is a trading and commercial opportunity for the countries of the Commonwealth, as it makes it likely that, for many, their access to United Kingdom (UK) markets will improve significantly. The question addressed in this article is whether, to support more open and trading relationships, Brexit also presents opportunities for the development of the private international law of Commonwealth countries – including the UK.Focusing on Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Singapore, as well as the UK, an account is given of the relationship between the different systems of private international law in these Commonwealth countries in the period of the UK’s membership of the European Union (EU). Accordingly, consideration is given to the Europeanisation of UK private international law and its resistance in other parts of the Commonwealth. The continuing lead that English adjudication has given to private international law in the Commonwealth and, yet, the greater fragmentation of that law while the UK was in the EU are also discussed. The conclusion considers the need to improve the cross-border enforcement of judgments within the Commonwealth, and the example given in that respect by its federations and the trans-Tasman market. Possible directions that the cross-border enforcement of judgments could take in the Commonwealth are explored
