Filling The "Charter Gap": Human Rights Codes In The Private Sector, Gavin W. Anderson
Filling The "Charter Gap": Human Rights Codes In The Private Sector, Gavin W. Anderson
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
The author considers the capacity of the federal and provincial human rights codes to deal with human rights abuses in the private sector. He compares the social democratic potential of the codes, with the classical liberalism of Charter jurisprudence, which shields the private sector from constitutional scrutiny. Four case studies are used: the definition of "offered to the public," mandatory retirement, the rights of the poor, and systemic discrimination. It is concluded that there are important similarities between the codes and the Charter, both at an institutional design and a doctrinal level. As a result, the codes have been unable …

Chapter 1 - "The Sacred Rights Of The Weak": Pain, Sympathy, And The Culture Of Individual Rights In Antebellum America (Previously Published Article), Elizabeth B. Clark
Manuscript of Women, Church, and State: Religion and the Culture of Individual Rights in Nineteenth-Century America
In 1835 an antislavery sympathizer leaving a lecture by Theodore Dwight Weld went home to dream that she was transported above the world; looking down at the United States, she saw "multitudes of sable figures, bending beneath a scorching sun -- their backs lacerated by the whip -- scourged, maimed, loaded with irons -- subject to every insult -- and exposed to every gust of unbridled passions." The dreamer, a Mrs. Sturges, drew from many discourses in describing her lengthy dream, but the fundamental trope of her visionary narrative was the story of the suffering slave, a trope that in …

Tribal-State Affairs: The Next Proving Ground?, David E. Wilkins
Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications
While these more profound issues of structure and perception beg for solution, a more immediate problem has arisen with the advent of Republican dominance in the Congress. One of the likely outgrowths of this transference of political power is that Congress, along with the Supreme Court, which has been doing it for some time, may funnel more issues to the States and their subsidiary governments for resolution or administration. Such a transfer does not bode well for tribes. Remember the allotment of Indian lands (1880s-1930s) and the Termination of tribes (1950s-1960s)? Those policies essentially made tribes and their citizens subject …
Rediscovering The Constitution, Jack Tsen-Ta Lee
Rediscovering The Constitution, Jack Tsen-Ta Lee
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
The fundamental liberties in our Constitution involve a study of tensions: between an individual's rights and the community's interests, between the role of the judiciary on the one hand and the executive and legislature on the other. How we should interpret them depends on where we think equilibrium should be established. This depends on two main factors. The first is the proper function of the judiciary as laid down by our Constitution, which is discussed in Part I of this article. The second is the nature of our fundamental liberties, for they are worded with varying degrees of generality. ... …
Patrimonicide: The International Economic Crime Of Indigenous Spoliation, Ndiva Kofele-Kale
Patrimonicide: The International Economic Crime Of Indigenous Spoliation, Ndiva Kofele-Kale
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
In the past two decades, the organized and systematic theft of a state's wealth and resources by its leaders has reached unprecedented levels in developing and less-developed states. Unlike previous acts of embezzlement by political leaders, this new wave of corruption-referred to as indigenous spoliation--involves billions of dollars and causes widespread social and economic devastation. This Article defines indigenous spoliation and presents some examples of this practice. The author describes the inadequacy of domestic law in dealing with the problem and suggests that international law should provide a remedy. Next, the author proposes a framework for holding persons involved in …

Limited Mandates And Intertwined Problems: A New Challenge For The World Bank And The Imf, Daniel D. Bradlow, Claudio Grossman
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
The sovereign states that participated in the establishment of the post-Second World War international order had a specific vision of how international organizations should function. This view was based on two premises. The first premise was that the sovereign state was the most significant actor in the international order. Consequently, only states could join and participate in the affairs of the new international organizations. Furthermore, international organizations were limited in their ability to interfere in the internal affairs of their member states.
The Women's Convention And The Equal Protection Clause Symposium - Human Rights In The Americas., Michael J. Corbera
The Women's Convention And The Equal Protection Clause Symposium - Human Rights In The Americas., Michael J. Corbera
St. Mary's Law Journal
This Article addresses whether the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (Women’s Convention) violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Because international treaties such as the Women’s Convention carry the same weight and are subject to the same treatment as U.S. federal law, the constitutionality of the Convention is dictated by U.S. jurisprudence. Part II of this Article outlines and discusses the origin and content of the Women’s Convention. Part III contains a historical review of gender jurisprudence in the United States, with particular emphasis on …

Equality is the thread running through the fundamental liberties enshrined in our Constitution. ... Equality, expressed in Art 12 of the [Singapore] Constitution, is also a specific right enforceable by the court. The difficulty comes in applying this deceptively simple concept to real-life situations. ... In considering the validity of legislation, Singapore and Malaysian courts have generally favored rational review, a modest conception of equal protection, unlike their American counterparts which have adopted a more expansive reading in the form of strict and intermediate review. This article examines how these three levels of equal protection review operate, and argues that …
