Lawmakers re-elect National Election Committee

PHNOM PENH (Cambodia Herald) - Members of parliament unanimously re-elected Im Suosdey as president of the National Election Committee Thursday as two opposition parties boycotted the session.

The session, presided over by National Assembly Chairman Heng Samrin, was attended by 87 lawmakers from the ruling Cambodian People’s Party and the two royalist parties, Funcinpec and the Nationalist Party.

The lawmakers also re-elected Sin Chumbo as NEC vice president along with Havan Sivilai, Mean Sathi, Em Sophat, Soum Chan Dina, Mao Sophearith, Sour Samphry and Sin Dim as members.

The nine members, who will serve for a period of five years, comprise five CPP members, two from Funcinpec and two from the opposition Sam Rainsy Party.

Lawmakers from the Sam Rainsy Party and Human Rights Party, which have both been calling for changes to the NEC, nevertheless boycotted the extraordinary session of parliament.

Im Suosdey was first elected as NEC president in 2003.
Under Cambodian law, the National Assembly has to elect nine NEC members within seven months of general elections, which are scheduled for July next year.

German cabinet approves law allowing circumcision

BERLIN,(AFP) - Chancellor Angela Merkel's cabinet Wednesday passed a draft law to allow circumcision in Germany after a court said the rite amounted to grievous bodily harm, a ruling that caused international uproar.

The new legislation, which must now be passed by the German parliament, "makes clear that circumcision is possible in Germany," said Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger in a statement.

The ministry added the new text would "remove the legal uncertainty created by the judgement of the regional court in Cologne."

While considering a case brought against a doctor who had circumcised a Muslim boy, the court in the western German city ruled that the rite was tantamount to grievous bodily harm.

The decision united Jewish and Muslim groups in opposition and caused outrage from religious and political leaders in Israel and Muslim countries.

Diplomats admitted that the ruling proved "disastrous" for Germany's international image, particularly in light of its Nazi past.

Merkel was reported to have warned that Germany risked becoming a "laughing stock" if it banned circumcision.

The new bill stipulates certain provisos for a boy to be circumcised.

Among these conditions, the draft law stipulates the practice must be carried out "professionally" and "with the most effective pain relief".

An exception must also be made in individual cases if there are health risks, for example if the infant is suspected of being a haemophiliac.

Germany is home to about four million Muslims and more than 200,000 Jews.

Criminal Law of Cambodia

International criminal law is a body of international law designed to prohibit certain categories of conduct commonly viewed as serious atrocities and to make perpetrators of such conduct criminally accountable for their perpetration. Principally, it deals with genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity as well as the War of aggression. This article also discusses crimes against international law, which may not be part of the body of international criminal law.

"Classical" international law governs the relationships, rights, and responsibilities of states. Criminal law generally deals with prohibitions addressed to individuals, and penal sanctions for violation of those prohibition imposed by individual states. International criminal law comprises elements of both in that although its sources are those of international law, its consequences are penal sanctions imposed on individuals.

Attorney Firms

A law firm is a business entity formed by one or more lawyers to engage in the practice of law. The primary service rendered by a law firm is to advise clients (individuals or corporations) about their legal rights and responsibilities, and to represent clients in civil or criminal cases, business transactions, and other matters in which legal advice and other assistance are sought.

Law firms are organized in a variety of ways, depending on the jurisdiction in which the firm practices. Common arrangements include:

• Sole proprietorship, in which the attorney is the law firm and is responsible for all profit, loss and liability;
• General partnership, in which all of the attorneys in the firm equally share ownership and liability;
• Professional corporations, which issue stock to the attorneys in a fashion similar to that of a business corporation;
• Limited liability company, in which the attorney-owners are called "members" but are not directly liable to third party creditors of the law firm;
• Professional association, which operates similarly to a professional corporation or a limited liability company;
• Limited liability partnership (LLP), in which the attorney-owners are partners with one another, but no partner is liable to any creditor of the law firm nor is any partner liable for any negligence on the part of any other partner. The LLP is taxed as a partnership while enjoying the liability protection of a corporation.

The Role of the lawyer

A lawyer is sometimes referred to as an attorney at law or a counselor. This is a person who has spent many years learning about the law and has obtained a license to practice law. As an officer of the court, it is the lawyer’s responsibility to establish a relationship of trust and confidence with their client and represent the client to the best of the lawyer’s ability.

Conclusion

Lawyers are individuals who have a wide range of responsibilities and duties when it comes to their profession. Their role in society is even more important as they are acting as a voice for others. The aforementioned items are just a few of the many duties which lawyers complete on a daily basis.

What Traits Must An Individual Have In Order to Be An Effective Lawyer?

In order for an individual to be an effective lawyer, he/she must have certain traits and attributes in order to excel in this occupation. One important trait which lawyers should possess is that of articulation. A lawyer who can articulate effectively is one who will be more likely to succeed not only against opposing parties in court but also to impress and put their client at ease as well. An articulate lawyer is one who will see results.

The Role of a Lawyer

When people hear the word lawyer being spoken, they usually think of an individual who goes to court everyday and stands before a judge defending the freedom of another individual. This is true in some cases; however, there are many different types of lawyers with a variety of job responsibilities and duties. No matter what type of lawyer one may be they ultimately have an extremely important role in the lives of others.

What Is A Lawyer?

Lawyers interpret the law through actions and words for the protection of an individual, a business concern or an idea. They must be widely versed in a great many areas: the law, economics, history, human motivation and behavior, and the practicalities of day to day living. The education of lawyers never ends because they must constantly be abreast of information which may be of use to the client.
