The paper described the restrictions as Draconian.

The draconian laws were still operational, resulting in extra judicial killings of thousands of innocent persons.

And their response is draconian, and not necessarily the one that's going to get them out of this.

The imposition of a draconian penalty without adequate explanation and without independent procedural safeguards falls within that prohibition.

In its sugar industry alone the impact has been dramatic, with Draconian interest rates for loans, extremely short terms and ruinous repayment conditions.

In that context, particular attention should be paid to the need to abrogate draconian laws and similar legal or administrative measures that allow arbitrary detention, torture and extrajudicial executions.

The first is that both the chairpersons apos meeting and the treaty bodies themselves have been provided with very little solid statistical information to substantiate the need for draconian measures of the type proposed.

SANTIAGO Visit London nowadays and you will notice something strange going on the worse the British economy tanks, the more fervently Prime Minister David Cameron s ministers and Tory economists insist that draconian spending cuts are good for economic growth.

The idea that Germany would show financial solidarity with weakened eurozone members only if they accept draconian stabilization measures is similarly unrealistic. Such measures would only exacerbate deflation in these countries, which are the most important markets for German exports.

In small countries, where a significant share of bank liabilities is in someone else s currency, the national central bank lacks this capacity. The only options are then to slap draconian controls on the banking system or join the euro area.

3. Regrets the contradiction which exists between the free movement of goods, the liberalization of trade in services and financial transactions encouraged by the transnational corporations and international financial institutions, and the increasingly draconian restrictions imposed on the movement of individuals

Political legitimacy was validated by fear of anarchy, the terrifying reality of which had been observable across the Channel within living memory. Arbitrary, draconian repression was the rule under the Bloody Code of criminal justice, more than 100 felonies were punishable by death or transportation.

The European Central Bank can make available all the euros needed to backstop Italy s debt. And printing them would only offset, through mild inflation, the effects of the otherwise Draconian relative price adjustment that is taking place under the corset of the common currency.

Ironically, the programs that Snowden revealed seem to have helped prevent massive new terrorism events, such as a bomb attack on the New York subways. If so, they may have prevented the implementation of more draconian anti terrorist measures thus enabling the current debate.

The Seminar made it clear that there is a fundamental contradiction between the tendency to place increasingly draconian restrictions on individual mobility and the free flow of trade and the liberalization of trade in services and financial transactions encouraged by transnational corporations and financial institutions.

But, when all was said and done, through what turned out to be often Draconian controls, China pulled off quite a feat! Indeed, it is hard to imagine that the British will care as much, or go to such extremes, for the London Olympics in 2012.

The powerful only talk about interventions and preventive wars, about imposing draconian conditions or the most efficient ways to control the United Nations, while attempting to legitimize concepts such as the so called responsibility to protect, which could be used one day to justify acts of aggression against our countries.

But, instead of addressing the structural causes of rising corruption, India s anti graft movement bemoans a supposed weakening of ethical values and demands additional agencies with draconian powers to monitor and punish. The urban middle classes, impatient with the slow processes of democracy, latch on to holy men and their magic potions.

These programmes have all had a multidimensional aspect encompassing, inter alia, economic and commercial liberalization measures, improving financial management and modernizing taxation systems. Nevertheless, we would stress that many African countries that have established Draconian structural adjustment programmes have often had to slash their social expenditures and therefore reduce basic social services.

Transnational economic activity has been an opportunity not only for business, but also for organized crime and others to liberate themselves from effective regulation. At the moment, the United States has stepped into the breach, relying on often Draconian extraterritorial use of its justice system and control of the international banking system to impose a crude frontier justice.

Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne insists that his country s fiscal trajectory is dangerously unsustainable, and he has proposed draconian cuts. Others strongly disagree, noting the continued low level of interest rates, and that even under the previous government s plan, net borrowing costs were already scheduled to fall by nearly two thirds between 2010 11 and 2014 15.

PRINCETON Many people who advocate draconian measures to counteract climate change base their argument on the so called precautionary principle, which holds that when a possible future disaster would be unacceptably severe, action to prevent it is imperative. Cost benefit analysis balancing the cost of remedial action against the benefit of avoiding disaster is no longer permissible.

The debt crises of the 1980s caused the debtor countries to accept Draconian conditions for the reorganization of their economies. They had then not only to export more to repay their debt but also to restructure their economies according to neo liberalist principles, i.e. to deregulate economic activity, privatize public companies and greatly cut back State expenditure.

China s aging population, an unintended consequence of its draconian one child policy, poses another threat to long term prosperity. With the dependency ratio the proportion of children and pensioners relative to working age men and women set to rise rapidly in the coming years, economic growth will remain subdued, while health care and pension costs will increasingly strain government budgets.

But the lack of transparency in this type of autocracy has also led to massive corruption and huge blunders, not to mention the growing signs of ecological ruin. Chinese critics of the government, or even those who simply wish to report mistakes or wrongdoing, are silenced with a heavy hand beatings in police stations, draconian jail sentences, or even murder.

Abbas will find it equally challenging to apply rule of law principles to a traumatized community that is reeling after nearly five years of violence, oppression, and draconian travel restrictions imposed by the Israelis. As in the issue of the militarization of the intifada, this is not a simple matter, as it concerns forces outside the control of Abbas and his government.

But, over the past fifty years, when many other countries, including France and Italy, implemented draconian controls, the result was always the same eventually, the private sector adapted and eroded the controls effectiveness. Whether by misreporting imports and exports or exploiting corrupt government officials (which China has in ample supply), private capital eventually starts finding its way around the controls if the incentives are strong enough.

Looking back, it is ironic that the Chinese government s draconian one child policy, imposed in 1979, was implemented at the same time as the open door policy, aimed at capturing labor intensive foreign manufacturing investment. While both policies must be regarded as successes, over the years the family planning program has contributed to an aging population that may diminish China s attractiveness as a low cost, labor intensive manufacturing hub.

It did not take long for Hong Kongers to realize that their new leader harbored a deep and deeply flawed patriotic worldview that regarded Western values as unsuitable for Hong Kong, the first globalized Chinese city in modern history. But it was not until Tung tried to ram through draconian internal security legislation that many of Hong Kong s citizens began to feel that they were being overtaken by the repressive governance from which they were supposed to be exempt.

The judge and manager of the dance floor, in spite of many years of experience, is baffled by this crisis on the dance floor and often fails to give the right advice to the fallen dancers. He tries, nevertheless, to help them by offering assistance, in return for which they are to mend their ways in a Draconian manner. And as the dance hall debacle worsens, his attempts to increase resources from the seven most influential owners of the dance hall also fails.
