QUOTE OF THE DAY!!!

"If your wife belongs to your kitchen, living room and bedroom only, why do you waste your country's scarce resources to travel to Western Germany to visit another mans wife, who does not belong in the kitchen?"‎

A state of emergency is a governmental
declaration that announces that the country is in a
state of emergency. This means that the
government can suspend and/or change some
functions of the executive, the legislative and or the
judiciary during this period of time. It alerts citizens
to change their normal behaviour and orders
government agencies to implement emergency
plans. A government can declare a state of
emergency during a time of natural or man-made
disaster, during a period of civil unrest, or following
a declaration of war or situation of international/
internal armed conflict. Justitium is its equivalent in
Roman law.
It can also be used as a rationale for suspending
rights and freedoms, even if those rights and
freedoms are guaranteed under the Constitution.
Some countries do not have an embedded
Constitution such as the United Kingdom, New
Zealand and Israel. Legislation covers a state of
emergency in these countries. Under the protocol of
the ICCPR, rights and freedoms may be suspended
during a state of emergency, for example, a
government can detain citizens and hold them
without trial. All rights that can be derogated from
are listed in the International Covenant for Civil and
Political Rights. Some sources argue that non-
derogable rights cannot be suspended.[1] However
this theory is contested. Emergency law does and
can override non-derogatory rights during a state of
emergency.
Some countries have made it illegal to modify
emergency law or the constitution during the
emergency, other countries have the freedom to
change any legislation or rights based constitutional
frameworks, at any time that the legislative chooses
to do so. Constitutions are contracts between the
individual government and the citizens of that
Country. The International Covenant for Civil and
Political Rights (ICCPR) is an international law
document signed by states. Therefore the Covenant
only applies to states not citizens. However
signatories to the Covenant are expected to
integrate it into national legislation. The state of
emergency (within the ICCPR framework) must be
publicly declared and the Secretary-General of the
United Nations must be contacted immediately, to
declare the reason for the emergency, the date on
which the emergency is to start, the derogations
that may take place, with the timeframe of the
emergency and the date in which the emergency is
expected to finish. Although this is common
protocol stipulated by the ICCPR often this is not
strictly followed.
Use and viewpoints
Though fairly uncommon in democracies, dictatorial
regimes often declare a state of emergency that is
prolonged indefinitely for the life of the regime, or
for extended periods of time so that derogations can
be used to override human rights of their citizens
usually protected by the International Covenant on
Civil and political rights. See (Judson, 2012, "Where
is R2P grounded in international law".) http://
otago.ourarchive.ac.nz/handle/10523/2279 . In
some situations, martial law is also declared,
allowing the military greater authority to act. In
other situations, emergency is not declared and de
facto measures taken or decree-law adopted by the
government. Ms. Nicole Questiaux (France) and Mr.
Leandro Despouy (Argentina), two consecutive
United Nations Special Rapporteurs have
recommended to the international community to
adopt the following "principles" to be observed
during a state or de facto situation of emergency :
Principles of Legality, Proclamation, Notification,
Time Limitation, Exceptional Threat, Proportionality,
Non-Discrimination, Compatibility, Concordance and
Complementarity of the Various Norms of
International Law . (cf: "Question of Human Rights
and State of Emergency", E/CN.4/Sub.2/1997/19, at
Chapter II; see also (French) état d'exception )
Article 4 to the International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights (ICCPR), permits states to derogate
from certain rights guaranteed by the ICCPR in
"time of public emergency". Any measures
derogating from obligations under the Covenant,
however, must only be to the extent required by the
exigencies of the situation, and must be announced
by the State Party to the Secretary-General of the
United Nations. The European Convention on Human
Rights and American Convention on Human
Rights have similar derogatory provisions. No
derogation is permitted to the International Labour
Conventions.
Some political theorists, such as Carl Schmitt, have
argued that the power to decide the initiation of the
state of emergency defines sovereignty itself. In
State of Exception (2005), Giorgio Agamben
criticized this idea, arguing that the mechanism of
the state of emergency deprives certain people of
their civil and political rights, producing his
interpretation of homo sacer.
