Abstract

ABSTRACT The Coronation of King Charles III is not just a British pageant. In his Coronation oath, King Charles will swear to govern the peoples of each Commonwealth Realm, including Australia, according to their laws and customs. Amidst the glitter of the Coronation regalia we find the Sword of Mercy, the Sword of Temporal Justice, the Sceptre with the Cross, which symbolises legal power and justice, and the Sceptre with the Dove, which represents equity and mercy. Fundamental to the ceremony is the notion that executive power must be exercised with justice, mercy, equity and in accordance with the rule of law. In times when governments often act with stark disregard to these fundamental principles, what action can be taken to restore government integrity within Australia and across the Commonwealth?

加冕典礼,联邦和政府的完整性
摘要:英国国王查理三世的加冕典礼不仅仅是一场盛大的庆典。在加冕宣誓中,查尔斯国王将宣誓根据包括澳大利亚在内的每个英联邦国家的法律和习俗治理其人民。在加冕礼的华丽装饰中,我们发现了仁慈之剑、时间正义之剑、象征法律权力和正义的带十字架的权杖,以及代表公平和仁慈的带鸽子的权杖。仪式的基本理念是,行政权力必须以公正、仁慈、公平和法治的方式行使。当政府的行为往往完全无视这些基本原则时,可以采取什么行动来恢复澳大利亚国内和整个英联邦的政府诚信?

The journal is the major source for coverage of policy issues concerning the contemporary Commonwealth and its role in international affairs, with occasional articles on themes of historical interest. The Round Table has for many years been a repository of informed scholarship, opinion, and judgement regarding both international relations in general, and the Commonwealth in particular, with authorship and readership drawn from the worlds of government, business, finance and academe.
