glossario minimo dei termini giuridici americani : appendice 2 "Where,
after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to
home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the
world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighbourhood
he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office
where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child
seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination.
Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere.
Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall
look in vain for progress in the larger world." "Un diritto umano è qualcosa che tutti gli uomini devono avere ovunque ed in ogni momento, qualcosa di cui nessuno possa essere privato senza che ciò sia un grave affronto alla giustizia, qualcosa che è di proprietà di ogni essere umano semplicemente perché egli è umano." Prof Maurice Cranston "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." Declaration of Independence as originally written by Thomas Jefferson, 1776. "The
common-law system is inherently messy" Abel
Meeropol, Strange Fruit, (1939) Canzone portata al successo dalla cantante
nera Billie Holiday Gli alberi
del sud danno strani frutti, it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. Shakespeare - Macbeth Scene V "The least
controversial observation one can make about American criminal justice
today is that it is remarkably ineffective, absurdly expensive, grossly
inhumane, and riddled with discrimination." "An eye
for an eye and a tooth for a tooth and the whole world would soon be blind
and toothless." "Capital
punishment means that those without the capital get the punishment" "ignorance
of the law or a mistake of law is no defense to criminal prosecution." "Chi è pazzo può chiedere di essere esentato dalle missioni di volo, ma chi chiede di essere esentato dalle missioni di volo non è pazzo" Comma 22, di Heller: WWII: World War II "...The world's second unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide." Kurt Vonnegut's "Timequake" "Violence is American as apple pie" H. Rap Brown " … ask
not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." "All gave some, some gave all" By: Hondo Swedland We Were Young, We Have Died - Remember us "Sono un avvocato: l'uomo è il mio nemico naturale" Da "La Signora in giallo" "The finest Congress money can buy" Frase attribuita a Mark Twain "When written in Chinese, the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity." President John F. Kennedy "Allora è così che è fatta un'aula di tribunale" Tom Cruise in "Codice d'onore". "intelligenza militare è una contraddizione in termini" Groucho Marx "The past is always lying in ambush" J.M. Roberts, A History of Europe "La libertà d'opinione ha come presupposto quello di averne una". H. Heine (1797-1856) "chi salva
una Vita umana, salva il mondo intero" "Chi uccide
un essere umano è come se uccidesse tutta l'umanità, chi salva una vita
umana è come se salvasse tutta l'umanità" *Claudio
