Schultz

Reports

Domestic violence is a distinctive and complex type of violence. The intimate relationship between the victim and the perpetrator is historically construed as private and therefore beyond the reach of law. The often hidden site of the violence buttresses this conceptualization. The victim is often financially dependent on her abuser, and other economic and familial factors complicate the victim’s response to abuse. Moreover, women who complain of domestic violence frequently face intimidation, retaliation, and stigmatization, and thus incidents of domestic violence are notoriously under-reported and under-prosecuted throughout the world, including the United States.

Any meaningful analysis of the nature and …

War Courts: Terror's Distorting Effects On Federal Courts, Collin P. Wedel Jan 2011

War Courts: Terror's Distorting Effects On Federal Courts, Collin P. Wedel

Legislation and Policy Brief

In recent years, federal courts have tried an increasing number of suspected terrorists. In fact, since 2001, federal courts have convicted over 403 people for terrorism-related crimes. Although much has been written about the normative question of where terrorists should be tried, scant research exists about the impact these recent trials have had upon the Article III court system. The debate, rather, has focused almost exclusively upon the proper venue for these trials and the hypothetical problems and advantages that might inhere in each venue.

The war in Afghanistan, presenting a host of thorny legal issues, is now the longest …

Reaching Beyond The State: Judicial Independence, The Inter-American Court Of Human Rights And Accountability In Guatemala, Edward H. Warner, Davis Jeffery Jan 2011

Reaching Beyond The State: Judicial Independence, The Inter-American Court Of Human Rights And Accountability In Guatemala, Edward H. Warner, Davis Jeffery

Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

The authors examine the role of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in its efforts to impose accountability for human rights violations in Latin America. They suggest that because domestic enforcement mechanisms are irreconcilably deficient in this task, accountability must emanate from beyond the state. They test this contention by examining one of the most challenging nations in the region – Guatemala.
