A unique variety of Celtic music Excellent jazz musicians, A culture of classical music, And love foreign rhythms Cuisine Quebec's cuisine has a strong French and Irish influence. Many Quebecers go to the cabane à sucre (sugar house) for a traditional meal. Traditional meal that features omelette, ham, oreilles de crisse, baked beans and maple syrup. In 1939, the government of Quebec unilaterally ratified its coat of arms to reflect Quebec's political history: French rule (gold lily on blue background), British rule (lion on red background) and Canadian rule (maple leaves) and with Quebec's motto below "Je me souviens" ("I remember"). The Flag . In 1900, Quebec finally sought to have its own uniquely designed flag. By 1903, the parent of today's flag had taken shape, known as the "Fleurdelisé". The flag in its present form with

Two other institutions play vital roles: the Court of Justice of the EU upholds the rule of European law the Court of Auditors checks the financing of the EU's activities. The powers and responsibilities of all of these institutions are laid down in the Treaties, which are the foundation of everything the EU does. They also lay down the rules and procedures that the EU institutions must follow. The Treaties are agreed by the presidents and/or prime ministers of all the EU countries, and ratified by their parliaments. The EU has a number of other institutions and interinstitutional bodies that play specialised roles: the European Central Bank is responsible for European monetary policy the European External Action Service (EEAS) assists the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, currently Catherine Ashton. She chairs the Foreign Affairs Council and conducts the common foreign and security policy, also ensuring the

In its beginnings, the United States of America consisted only of the Thirteen Colonies. American colonists fought off the British army in the American Revolutionary War of the 1770s and issued a Declaration of Independence in 1776. Seven years later, the signing of the Treaty of Paris officially recognized independence from Britain. In the nineteenth century, westward expansion of United States territory began, in which the United States would occupy all the North American land east to west. Ratified in 1788, the Constitution serves as the supreme American law in organizing the government; the Supreme Court is responsible for upholding Constitutional law. Slavery was abolished in 1865 by the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. In later years, civil rights were extended to women and black Americans. The Progressive Era marked a time of economic growth for the United States, advancing to the Roaring Twenties

1. UN as a world organization The United Nations officially came into existence on 24 October 1945, when the UN Charter had been ratified by a majority of the original 51 Member States. The day is now celebrated each year around the world as United Nations Day. The purpose of the United Nations is to bring all nations of the world together to work for peace and development, based on the principles of justice, human dignity and the well-being of all people. It affords the opportunity for countries to balance global interdependence and national interests when addressing international problems. There are
The new government which will serve their best interests. Rousseau social contrackt A man is born free, yet everywhere he is in chains Rousseau theorized about the best way in which to set up a political community in the face of the problems of commercial society which he had already identified in his Discourse on Inequality (ownership/property is the source of all evil) Every law the people have not ratified in person is null and void -- is, in fact, not a law. The legislative power belongs to the people, and can belong to it alone The natural man was free, the modern man is in chains ever since he came to be a society and started a social contract. The social contract: In society you lose some freedoms, but gain others. If you dont like it, you may get out. Laws are based on social and historical conventions (also montesque)
Date of adoption Date of enter into force These two are important because treaties do not have retroactive force. This means that (they are valid from) treaties can influence states only from the time it enters into force. However, some conventions do have retroactive force if the convention mentions it specifically in the convention, e.g. concerning international crimes. Number of participants (signed/ratified) Treaties are legally binding only on member States (if not customary law) are legally binding when ratified . If a country joined in 1999 you can't use 1988 requirements/regulations ?! Structure modern treaties very often have many annexes and additional regulations etc. this is a nightmare because these usually require additional ratifications. Nowadays there are also framework conventions, e.g. convention on conventional weapons (CCW).
1975 - Suriname left the Kingdom of the Netherlands and became an independent nation, resulting in a huge influx of Surinamese immigrants to the Netherlands. 1986 - Aruba separated from the Netherlands Antilles and became an equal member of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. 1991 - Members of the 12 European Community nations met at Maastricht to consider a draft version of a treaty to increase economic integration and political cooperation. The Maastricht Treaty, as it became known, was ratified in 1993, creating the European Union. (4) 15 Conclusion I got to know many important, and interesting facts about Netherlands and I learned many new words. I know now that in Netherlands there lives approximately 16 million people but interesting fact was that there are 14 million bicycles in Holland. The shirt, nightdress, bed tick, pocket-handkerchief, tablecloth and napkin were invented in Holland.

monarchy, and the ground he builds on, is this, that no man is born free. In this last age a generation of men has sprung up amongst us, that would flatter princes with an opinion, that they have a divine right to absolute power, let the laws by which they are constituted, and are to govern, and the conditions under which they enter upon their authority, be what they will, and their engagements to observe them never so well ratified by solemn oaths and promises. To make way for this doctrine, they have denied mankind a right to natural freedom; whereby they have not only, as much as in them lies, exposed all subjects to the utmost misery of tyranny and oppression, but have also unsettled the titles, and shaken the thrones of princes: (for they too, by these mens system, except only one, are all born slaves, and by divine right are
families`.2 Similarly to how women were once viewed, children have been seen as irrational, emotional and incompetent and therefore are often excluded from the citizenship status. However, the adoption of the U.N Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1989 was the initial legally binding law that for the first time, granted children the recognition as worthy individuals with rights of their own. 3 The UNCRC has been considered as one of the most innovative international treaties ever ratified. It laid the foundation for the potential change of attitude and perception of children as primarily objects of the adult world. The recognition of children by the UNCRC as respected individuals with rights of their own has given impetus to a significant field of academic study. Since then, there has been increasing sociological interest in children which has provided a new perspective around the idea of children as social actors, and that childhood is not a natural phenomenon but a social
Alexis I) and Naryshkin family (Natalya Naryshkina was the second wife) over who should inherit the throne. Peter's other half-brother, Ivan V of Russia, was next in line for the throne, but he was chronically ill and of infirm mind. Consequently, the Boyar Duma (a council of Russian nobles) chose the 10-year-old Peter to become Tsar with his mother as regent. This arrangement was brought before the people of Moscow, as ancient tradition demanded, and was ratified. Sophia Alekseyevna, one of Alexis' daughters from his first marriage, led a rebellion of the Streltsy (Russia's elite military corps) in AprilMay 1682. In the subsequent conflict some of Peter's relatives and friends were murdered, including Matveev, and Peter witnessed some of these acts of political violence. The Streltsy made it possible for Sophia, the Miloslavskys (the clan of Ivan) and their allies to
them British explorer James Cook mapped almost the entire coastline. The British government claimed a treaty with Mori. The Treaty is regarded as New Zealand's foundation as a nation and is revered by Mori as a guarantee of their rights. Under British rule New Zealand had been part of the colony of New South Wales. New Zealand became an independent Dominion and a fully independent nation when the Statute of Westminster was ratified, although in practice Britain had ceased to play any real role in the government of New Zealand much earlier than this. *The British expansion in South Africa When Dutch mercantile power began to fade, the British moved in to fill the vacuum. They seized the Cape to prevent it from falling into the hands of Napoleonic France. British sovereignty of the area was recognized at the Congress of Vienna. A pattern soon emerged whereby English-speakers became highly urbanised, and
