About Legal

Legal systems elaborate rights and responsibilities of individuals and organizations. Legal codes vary from constitutional law to criminal law and even tax law. Law gives answers to issues regarding equality, fairness and justice. Law can be influenced by legislators, constituents and other outside areas such as religious or lobby groups.

Legal systems are created within legislatures, interpreted by the judicial system and enforced by law enforcements.

A protester, wearing orange prison suit and hood over his head, chains himself in a cage in front of the White House in Washington, DC, on January 9, 2012 during a demonstration urging the government to close down Guantanamo Bay. US President Barack Obama's unfulfilled promise to close Guantanamo Bay is a lesson in how soaring campaign vows can wilt in the partisan stew and entrenched obstructionism of Washington politics. Stalled efforts to close the war on terror camp also reflect the intricate, and often immovable homeland security state built by ex-president George W. Bush which endures even as memories fade of the September 11 attacks of 2001. The US base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba accepted its first prisoners from the newly drawn battlefields of the global war on terror on January 11, 2002. A decade, on, 171 prisoners remain, most in legal limbo, some awaiting transfer abroad and at least 40 may never face justice but are deemed too dangerous to ever be freed.

BERLIN, GERMANY - JANUARY 06: German President Christian Wulff arrives at Schloss Bellevue presidential palace on January 6, 2011 in Berlin, Germany. Pressure on Wulff is continuing unabated following a television interview he gave on January 4, in which he intended to dispel doubt over critical questions regarding his personal financial conduct while governor of Lower Saxony. Instead the interview has given rise to fresh accusations that Wulff possibly lied, especially in regards to a phone call he made to Bild Zeitung Editor-in-Chief Kai Diekmann, in which he threatened Diekmann with legal action should the paper publish a story about a personal loan of Wulff's. In the recent television interveiw Wulff claims he only asked Diekmann to postpone publication of the story, while Bild claims Wulff sought to prevent publication of the story completely.
