institutions/bearers of sovereign authority Explanation: "Breaking down Hobbes’s conception of a supposedly natural “war of all against all,” Solnit’s empiricism demonstrates that neighborhood societies of cooperation and mutual aid arise precisely when official institutions of sovereign authority have broken down, leaving no one to help the wounded or traumatized except for other survivors, neighbors, and health providers." https://ssir.org/book_reviews/entry/paradise_built_in_hell_e... "In her book Paradise Built in Hell, Solnit draws upon data from five major disasters to empirically refute the conventional belief that disasters lead terrified, passive victims toward chaos and dependency. Instead, she writes, “neighborhood societies of cooperation and mutual aid arise precisely when official institutions of sovereign authority have broken down.” https://nextcity.org/daily/entry/forget-about-the-experts-th... |

(AmE) public (law enforcement) agents and agencies Explanation: Odd, I would have never thought of US police and military as 'sovereign entities' but, as Professors Wade & Phillips once wrote in their standard textbook on UK constitutional and administrative law: 'all debate may be misguided and misleading'. Example sentence(s):

sovereign entities/authorities Explanation: Since Björn hasn't posted it, I will. If he does, just ignore this, I'm off on vacation. I would keep the sovereign in there. |

a person or entity exercising governmental/sovereign powers; a governmental authority Explanation: Based on https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim... https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PBA/1002 https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/lawsstatutes/20... https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/gcprod/documents/GC_... https://www.loc.gov/law/help/habeas-corpus/habeas-corpus-rig... https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/state-responsibility/or... https://www.orau.gov/cdcynergy/erc/Content/activeinformation... https://www.lawinsider.com/contracts/2eJH0zfA3YGp8RfRX4COpA/... …and these two (which I haven’t yet quoted in the d-box): “Subd. 12.Joint exercise of police power. In the event that an agreement authorizes the exercise of peace officer or police powers by an officer appointed by one of the governmental units within the jurisdiction of the other governmental unit, an officer acting pursuant to that agreement has the full and complete authority of a peace officer as though appointed by both governmental units and licensed by the state ...” https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/471.59 “If the Governor directs the attorney general to commence legal action seeking any recovery on behalf of the state, the governing body of any governmental entity exercising any part of the state's sovereign power, upon request of the attorney general, within thirty days of the request, may, in the discretion of the governing body, assign any cause of action related to the state's action to the state for consolidation with the state's action.” https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/Codified_Laws/DisplayStat... A Träger von Hoheitsrechten could be a country, a federal state, an organization/agency or an individual. What they do is Ausübung von Staatsgewalt. With regard to federal states, there is Article 20 of the German Grundgesetz: https://www.uni-trier.de/fileadmin/fb5/prof/OEF004/WS.09.10_... It’s a federal system, so American Federalism is a good starting point if you need to word it differently. I wouldn’t necessarily remove sovereign, but you could move it further back to circumvent the problem of a police force not being a sovereign entity. What you should get away from, IMO, is holder or bearer and enforcement doesn’t work half the time. Cf. http://www.lexsoft.de/cgi-bin/lexsoft/justizportal_nrw.cgi?x... https://legislature.maine.gov/statutes/30-A/title30-Asec4741... |
