Federal Jurisdiction

The Indian reservation is a place where multiple forms of law-federal, tribal, and state-create both gaps and overlaps of rules and jurisdictions, at times in accord and at times in contest. Analysis of an ethnographic photograph of women from the Yakama Nation in front of a sign marking one of their reservation's internal boundaries reveals how their defense of indigenous law also invokes multiple forms of tribal, state, and federal law. The federal jurisdiction asserted by this sign at a border within the reservation, warning away sport hunters and fishers, is doubled and thereby decentered by the postures, dress, and tools held up by the women. They base their claim to the land ("Do Not Enter") not on state law, but in practices of indigenous law-with its own expressions of property rights and claims to authority-reflected in the elements of the photograph.

The Impact

This study aims at understanding how the perceptions about migrants have been created and transferred into daily life as a stigmatization by means of public perception, media and state law implementations.  The focus would be briefly what kind of consequences these perceptions and stigmatization might lead. First section will examine the background of migration to Turkey briefly and make a summary of migration towards Turkey by 90s. Second section will briefly evaluate the preferential legal framework, which constitutes the base for official discourse differentiating the migrants and implementations of security forces that can be described as discriminatory. The third section deals with the impact of perceptions influential in both formation and reproduction of inclusive and exclusive practices towards migrant women. Additionally, impact of public perception in classifying the migrants and migratory processes would be dealt in this section.

Deep Thought

It is a great honour to be invited to give this 8th Ahmad Ibrahim Memorial Lecture. I met Ahmad Ibrahim several times during his period as founding Dean of the Kulliyyah of Laws of the International Islamic University Malaysia, when we both attended conferences of the Commonwealth Legal Education Association in Cumberland Lodge, Windsor, Britain. He was immensely respected in the field of legal education in the Commonwealth; his interventions in our discussions were fewer than those of some colleagues, who liked to talk at lenght on every occassion and about every topic, but when he made comments they were always efective, being evidently based on long experience and deep thought. I have since read some of his work and learnt from it - as will appear , in small measure, from some references i make later in this lecture.
