The Statusb> of Roman London

This paper sets out to examine the question of the statusb> of Roman London and to suggest a statusb> for the town that would, I believe, provide an explanation for many of its peculiarities.
This was the system used in Roman Britain and the civitas capitals normally had two names such as Venta Belgarum - the marketplace of the Belgae (Winchester) or Isca Dumnoniorum (Exeter).
But we should note that Verulamium was also a Civitas capital.

Roman Emperors - DIR Trajan

In the open courtyard before it was an equestrian statue of Trajan, behind it was the column; there were libraries, one for Latin scrolls, the other for Greek, on each side.
Preparations for a great campaign were under way, particularly with transfers of legions and their attendant auxiliaries from Germany and Britain and other provinces and the establishment of two new ones, II Traiana and XXX Ulpia, which brought the total muster to 30, the highest number yet reached in the empire's history.
Uprisings among the conquered peoples, and particularly among the Jews in Palestine and the Diaspora, caused him to gradually resign Roman rule over these newly-established provinces as he returned westward.

Talk:Disputed statusb> of Gibraltar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And while the Spanish claim for the main part of Gibraltar is not based in any legalb> argument, the claim for the isthmus is. And, yes, you're right: a key element for the survival of the territory and its feasibility as independent country is on a ground over which its legalb> titles are dubious.
In the meantime in relation to the statusb> of the Isthmus your attention is politely drawn to [this]--Gibnews 00:56, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
This is clear from the fact that in the past they made a claim to the whole of Gibraltar, not the itshmus and the rest as seperate issues.

Electronic Antiquity v7n1 - David Whitehead

Usher goes on to ask why the young Bosporan did not employ Lysias' logographic services, and hypothesizes that 'Lysias would have been reluctant to assist litigation against a fellow-metic who had achieved a statusb> in Athenian society similar to that of his own family'.
For this date, which used to be standard before D. MacDowell advanced reasons for postponing it to 400/399 ('The chronology of Athenian speeches and legalb> innovations in 401-398 BC', Revue Internationale des Droits d'Antiquité 18 (1971) pp.
Some of these speeches had been prepared, in whole or part, by the litigants themselves, but most were the work of so-called logographers, experts in law and, more important, in the rhetorical skills needed to win over the enormous juries which the classical Athenian legalb> system employed.

Political statusb> of Taiwan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The political solution that is accepted by many of the current groups is the following perspective of the statusb> quo: that is, to unofficially treat Taiwan as a state and at a minimum, to officially declare no support for the government of this state making a formal declaration of independence.
However, extreme Taiwan independence supporters view the ROC’s constitution as illegal and therefore believe that amendments to the ROC constitution are an invalid way to change Taiwan’s political statusb>.
The ROC legalb> theory, which is supported by the pan-blue coalition, suggests that any fundamental constitutional changes would require that the amendment procedure of the ROC constitution be followed.

PAKISTAN: Women Face Their Own Crisis (Press Release, October 1999)

"Women in Pakistan face spiraling rates of gender-based violence, a legalb> framework that is deeply biased against women, and a law enforcement system that retraumatizes female victims instead of facilitating justice," she added.
Women's low social statusb> and a long established pattern of active suppression of women's rights by successive governments has contributed to the escalation in violence.
When a Commission of Inquiry for women convened by the Pakistan Senate described domestic violence as one of the country's most pervasive violations of human rights, its findings were brushed aside by the Sharif government.

Dominion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dominion statusb> was never popular in Ireland, where people saw it as a face-saving measure for a British government unable to countenance a republic in what had previously been the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

The situation of women in Pakistan

Although the issue of evidence became central to the concern for women's legalb> statusb>, more mundane matters such as mandatory dress codes for women and whether females could compete in international sports competitions were also being argued.

Tomis Kapitan's Home Page

The question of the precise statusb> of self-determination in international law, specifically, whether it is a legalb> right, has sparked considerable discussion (see Emerson 1971, who cites representatives from both sides of the controversy).
Although the crucial phrases 'civil and religious rights' and 'political statusb>' were left undefined by the Declaration, it is significant that the document contrasted civil rights with political statusb> while avoiding reference to the political statusb> of Palestinian Arabs, viz., the "non-Jewish communities" which comprised the substantial majority of inhabitants.
Since the rise of Islam in the 7th Century A.D., Palestine had been part of the larger Islamic world under the rule of various Islamic governments, even though no independent sovereign Arab or Muslim state was ever established there.

Pakistan: Honour killings of women and girls - Amnesty International

Expand victim support services provided by the state or non-governmental organizations; they should be run as places of voluntary recourse for women and their purpose should be only protective; they should be available all over the country, adequately resourced, and linked to legalb> aid, vocational training and with adequate provisions for children.
The statusb> of women in Pakistan has been described as defined by the "interplay of tribal codes, Islamic law, Indo-British judicial traditions and customary traditions...
But if women begin to assert their rights, however tentatively, the response is harsh and immediate: the curve of honour killings has risen parallel to the rise in awareness of rights.
