Значение термина affirmation в knolik
affirmation - Affirmation (Latin ad, to; firmus, firm)
affirmation - Solemn declaration made before a competent officer in place of a judicial oath. Any person who, on giving evidence, or upon any other occasions when an oath is required - e. g. on enlistment in the Army, or upon taking a seat in Parliament, when the oath of allegiance is required, or on giving evidence in a court of law - objects to be sworn, is allowed to make an affirmation instead. But he must give as his reason for objecting to an oath either (1) that the taking of an oath is contrary to his religious belief; or (2) that he has no religious belief (Affirmation Act, 1898). By a Statute of 1833, Quakers and Moravians are allowed to affirm; and the Oaths Act of 1888 gave atheists, freethinkers, etc., the same right. An affirmation, made as aforesaid, has the same force as an oath, a witness who affirms falsely being fully guilty of perjury. See Oath.
