Out-Of-Country Voting: The Predicament Of The Recognised 1951 Convention Refugee, Reuven (Ruvi) Ziegler Esq.
Dr. Reuven (Ruvi) Ziegler
‘Out-of-Country Voting: The Predicament of the Recognised Refugee’ points to an emerging global trajectory to consider non-resident citizens (expatriates) as eligible voters in elections of their country of citizenship and to provide them access to Out-of-Country Voting (OCV) procedures. The chapter distinguishes between three types of expatriates: voluntary migrants, including migrant workers and their families; conflict forced migrants; and recognised (1951 Geneva Convention) refugees. It argues that the strength of the normative claim of recognised refugees to remain eligible voters and to access OCV processes is met with a political (and legal) reality in which their disenfranchisement is highly likely. …

Legal Outlier, Again? U.S. Felon Suffrage: Comparative And International Human Rights Perspectives, Reuven (Ruvi) Ziegler
Dr. Reuven (Ruvi) Ziegler
The judiciousness of American felon suffrage policies has long been the subject of scholarly debate, not least due to the large number of affected Americans: an estimated 5.3 million citizens are ineligible to vote as a result of a criminal conviction. This article offers comparative law and international human rights perspectives and aims to make two main contributions to the American and global discourse. After an introduction in Part I, Part II offers comparative law perspectives on challenges to disenfranchisement legislation, juxtaposing U.S. case law against recent judgments rendered by courts in Canada, South Africa, Australia, and by the European …

The French 'Headscarves Ban': Intolerance Or Necessity ?, Reuven Ziegler
The French 'Headscarves Ban': Intolerance Or Necessity ?, Reuven Ziegler
Dr. Reuven (Ruvi) Ziegler
The notion analyzed in the article is that a right can often be interpreted in contrasting terms in different countries, even if these countries are all signatories to the same human rights conventions and are considered to be western liberal democracies. Hence, the protection granted to a particular right is greatly affected by the fundamental tenets of the social framework in a given society. I substantiate my claim empirically by offering a critique of the recent 'headscarves ban' in French public schools. While the ban enjoys overwhelming public support in France, insisting that it protects the fabric of French society, …

An Imperative For Today: Recognizing A Positive Legal Right To Palliative Care (In Hebrew), Reuven Ziegler, Sylviane Colombo
Dr. Reuven (Ruvi) Ziegler
The issue of palliative care, which is increasingly at the heart of the end-of-life discourse in the international legal community, has receive, surprisingly, little to no attention in Israel. The main objective of this paper is to place palliative care on the public and legal agenda, to emphasize the vital importance of openly discussing end-of-life questions, and to bring about a change in the legal status of palliative care in Israel. Discussion of end-of-life issues in the Israeli legal community has until now revolved almost exclusively around the issue of euthanasia; in the few instances where palliative care has been …

Case Note: The “Assigned Residence” Case: H.C. 7015/02 Ajuri Et Al. V. Idf Commander, Reuven Ziegler
Dr. Reuven (Ruvi) Ziegler
The case discussed in this Note is surely one of the most important cases rendered by the Israeli High Court of Justice (hereinafter, HCJ) regarding judicial review of administrative acts performed by a Military Commander (hereinafter, MC) in areas subject to belligerent occupation based on a legal analysis of international humanitarian law (the Fourth Geneva Convention). The Court's ruling on the matter in question highlighted the fact that, while State Courts in other countries continue to refrain from putting measures undertaken by MCs of their respective armed forces under legal scrutiny, the HCJ sustains a longstanding tradition of such scrutiny; …
