Domestic Terrorism Classification In The United States V. Canada And The United Kingdom, Michelle Hayek
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
For the past two decades, discourse on terrorism (both global and domestic) has been commonplace throughout the international sphere.

This Note explores this issue and argues that the right to equal language protections is founded in the right to one’s cultural identity, and as such should be …
