Arrogation
(Russian, samoupravstvo), under Soviet criminal law, one of the crimes against the governmental order. It consists in the arbitrary exercise of one’s actual or supposed right in violation of the legally established order, thereby causing substantial harm to citizens or to state or social organizations. Such an act may also be an honest mistake, for example, the unauthorized appropriation of disputed property. Under the RSFSR Criminal Code (art. 200), arrogation may be punished by corrective labor for a term not exceeding 6 months, by a fine of up to 50 rubles, or by social censure; or it may entail the application of measures of social pressure. Arrogation committed by an official using his position is viewed as the exceeding of authority or official powers. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Most ominous is the arrogation by the executive branch--the presidency and its subordinate departments--of powers delegated by the Constitution to the Congress, including war powers and the power to raise revenue, not to mention the power to make laws per se. And we should have no doubt that Khartoum's heavy militarization of the Nuba, with corresponding responses from the SPLA, may well lead to a new bloodbath, with huge numbers of civilians again caught in violence that serves only the interests of Khartoum in its continuing arrogation of national power and wealth. Absolute politics consists in the arrogation of power to an abstract and increasingly authoritarian state, and the concomitant mar-ginalization of civil society. |
