The Finney County, Kansas Community Assessment Process: Fact Book, Debra J. Bolton Phd, Shannon L. Dick M.S.
Dr. Debra Bolton
This multi-lingual/multi-cultural study was called, Community Assets Processt, by the groups that “commissioned” it: Finnup Foundation, Finney County K-State Research & Extension, Western Kansas Community Foundation, Finney County United Way, Finney County Health Department, United Methodist Community Health Center (UMMAM), Center for Children and Families, Garden City Recreation Commission, and the Garden City Cultural Relations Board, because we intend for this to be an ongoing discussion. An objective, for those promoting the study, was to connect foundation, state, and federal funding with activities or services that addressed the true needs of people living in Finney County. The group was looking …
The Criminalisation Of The Illicit Trade In Cultural Property, Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
The Criminalisation Of The Illicit Trade In Cultural Property, Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
This chapter considers the criminalisation of illicit traffic of cultural objects in international law and its impact for domestic law. The regulation of the trade in cultural objects has long been resisted in so-called market States, which host major auction houses and art and antiquities dealers. The lobbying was particularly directed against the enforcement of foreign public laws covering export controls in domestic courts. However, the Security Council’s adoption of resolutions that condemned the pillage of Iraqi and Syrian cultural sites has transformed this debate. These resolutions enunciate an obligation to prosecute in domestic courts which is covers all UN …
The Criminalisation Of The Intentional Destruction Of Cultural Heritage, Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
The Criminalisation Of The Intentional Destruction Of Cultural Heritage, Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
This chapter examines how modern international law is protecting world heritage (‘the cultural heritage of all humanity’) by criminalising the intentional destruction of cultural heritage. In the digital age of the twenty-first century has witnessed a proliferation of deliberate acts of destruction, damaging and pillaging of World Heritage sites and their broadcasting via social media and the Internet. This chapter examines the evolving rationales for the intentional destruction of cultural heritage since the early twentieth century and international law’s response to such acts. First, there is an analysis of its initial criminalisation with the codification of the laws and customs …

The Power of the Body:
Analyzing the Logic of Law and Social Change in the Arab Spring
Abstract:
Under conditions of extreme social and political injustice - when human rights are under the most threat - rational arguments rooted in the language of human rights are often unlikely to spur reform or to ensure government adherence to citizens’ rights. When those entrusted with securing human dignity, rights, and freedoms fail to do so, and when other actors—such as human rights activists, international institutions, and social movements—fail to engage the levers of power to eliminate injustice, then oppressed and even quotidian …

Book Review: Fresh Water In International Law. By Laurence Boisson De Chazournes, Oxford, Oxford University Press (Dec. 2013). , Itzchak Kornfeld
Itzchak E. Kornfeld
This book review of an extremely timely, far-reaching and comprehensive book by Professor Laurence Boisson de Chazournes, titled Fresh Water in International Law, by an expert in the field. Today, in an era of climate change, wide spread droughts across the globe, the fate of fresh water, which is a fixed resource and is the source of life, is an ominous problem in and for international law. Boisson de Chazournes addresses issues related to treaty design and interpretation, case law, UN initiatives, human rights issues and the development of the human right to water. The author also stresses that today …
International Economic Law And The Right To Food, Carmen G. Gonzalez
International Economic Law And The Right To Food, Carmen G. Gonzalez
Carmen G. Gonzalez
This chapter examines the historic and current policies and practices that have contributed to food insecurity in the global South. It analyzes the impact of international economic law on the patterns of trade and production that perpetuate food insecurity, and recommends concrete measures that the international community might take through law and regulation to promote the fundamental human right to food. Part I provides a short introduction to the right to food framework and its implications for international trade, investment, and finance. Part II places the current food crisis in historical perspective by discussing the trade and aid policies that …

Subsidiarity As A Structural Principle Of International Human Rights Law, Paolo G. Carozza
Subsidiarity As A Structural Principle Of International Human Rights Law, Paolo G. Carozza
Paolo G. Carozza
This article argues that the principle of subsidiarity should be recognized as a structural principle of international human rights law primarily because of the way that it mediates between the universalizing aspirations of human rights and the fact of the diversity of human communities in the world. The idea of subsidiarity is deeply consonant with the substantive vision of human dignity and the universal common good that is expressed through human rights norms. Yet, at the same time it promotes respect for pluralism by emphasizing the freedom of more local communities to realize their own ends for themselves. Looking at …

Shall The Twain Never Meet? Competing Narratives And Discourses Of The Rule Of Law In Singapore, Jack Tsen-Ta Lee
Shall The Twain Never Meet? Competing Narratives And Discourses Of The Rule Of Law In Singapore, Jack Tsen-Ta Lee
Jack Tsen-Ta LEE
This article aims to assess the role played by the rule of law in discourse by critics of the Singapore Government’s policies and in the Government’s responses to such criticisms. It argues that in the past the two narratives clashed over conceptions of the rule of law, but there is now evidence of convergence of thinking as regards the need to protect human rights, though not necessarily as to how the balance between rights and other public interests should be struck. The article also examines why the rule of law must be regarded as a constitutional doctrine in Singapore, the …

Book Review: Environmental Protection And Human Rights, Carmen G. Gonzalez
Book Review: Environmental Protection And Human Rights, Carmen G. Gonzalez
Carmen G. Gonzalez
This article reviews Environmental Protection and Human Rights (Cambridge University Press, New York 2011), a textbook co-authored authored by Donald K. Anton and Dinah L. Shelton. The book examines the growing recognition by scholars, activists, governments, and international and domestic tribunals of the linkages between environmental protection and human rights. Although intended for use as a law school textbook and accompanied by five online problem-oriented case studies, this comprehensive volume will also serve as a valuable reference for scholars and practitioners as well as an excellent survey for newcomers to the field.
Building Trust In East Jerusalem: Housing Issues In The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Adam N. Schupack, James I. Pearce
Building Trust In East Jerusalem: Housing Issues In The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Adam N. Schupack, James I. Pearce
Adam N Schupack
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been one of the world’s most contentious issues for more than half a century, and Jerusalem is at its center. Though frequently treated as one subject of dispute between Israelis and Palestinians, “Jerusalem” actually comprises a complex set of legal, political, and social issues. This Article examines one of them, the issue of housing in East Jerusalem, with a particular focus on whether some of the housing policies in that area violate international law. Believing that housing as a discrete topic can illuminate the nuances and complexities of the broader conflict without becoming too unmanageable or …

Reparations For The Uyghur Refugees Illegally Detained At Guantánamo Bay, Robin A. Lukes
Reparations For The Uyghur Refugees Illegally Detained At Guantánamo Bay, Robin A. Lukes
Robin A. Lukes
The United States wrongfully captured a group of Uyghur refugees near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border and detained them at Guantánamo Bay. These detentions violated customary international law, conventions and treaties. The International Law Commission’s Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts outline reparations required for a violation of State obligations. In order to fully repair the grave damage inflicted on the Uyghur refugees by their illegal detention, the United States must provide restitution, compensation and satisfaction, including a resettlement option in the United States for the Uyghur refugees who were held or who currently are held at Guantánamo.
The Global Food System, Environmental Protection, And Human Rights, Carmen G. Gonzalez
The Global Food System, Environmental Protection, And Human Rights, Carmen G. Gonzalez
Carmen G. Gonzalez
The global food system is exceeding ecological limits while failing to meet the nutritional needs of a large segment of the world’s population. While law could play an important role in facilitating the transition to a more just and ecologically sustainable food system, the current legal framework fails to regulate food and agriculture in an integrated manner. The international legal framework governing food and agriculture is fragmented into three self-contained regimes that have historically operated in isolation from one another: international human rights law, international environmental law, and international trade law. International trade law has taken precedence over human rights …
Globalization And The Theory Of International Law, Frank J. Garcia
Globalization And The Theory Of International Law, Frank J. Garcia
Frank J. Garcia
The dominant modern account of the social basis of international law has been the "society of states" model. In this view, to the extent that international law constructs an ordered social space (a claim which has been contested since Hobbes if not before), it is a social space in which states are the actors. This view has had a profound effect on international law. For example, the doctrine of state responsibility classically understands international harms to individuals within a framework of harm to a state's rights. Normatively, to the extent justice is considered an operational concept in international law, it …
Human Rights Treaty Body Reform: New Proposals, Andrew Kloster
Human Rights Treaty Body Reform: New Proposals, Andrew Kloster
Andrew Kloster
“Reform” in international human rights law has become a narrow concept. A survey of the literature reveals that nearly any suggestion for reform concerns greater enforcement of international human rights substantive norms.
It is the purpose of this article to address the neglected question of treaty body role. Section II provides a nuts-and-bolts guide to the treaty body mandates for United Nations delegates, States Parties, and international lawyers. This section sketches the proper and improper actions for treaty bodies to take. It is our contention that if treaty bodies were limited to their proper role, they could more effectively use …
Targeted Killing Court: Why The United States Needs To Adopt International Legal Standards For Targeted Killings And How To Do So In A Domestic Court, Michael Epstein
Targeted Killing Court: Why The United States Needs To Adopt International Legal Standards For Targeted Killings And How To Do So In A Domestic Court, Michael Epstein
Michael Epstein
In light of the fact that the Obama Administration appears committed to continuing and expanding the use of drones and targeted killing as a primary counter-terrorism method, addressing both domestic and international concerns about the legality of our drone use is no simple task. Much has been written on the topic, and various definitions and interpretations of international law have been proposed; in order to address all of these concerns simultaneously while balancing the obvious reality that drone strikes will not stop anytime soon, I propose that a domestic judicial mechanism is required. Part I of this paper demonstrates the …
The Global Politics Of Food: Introduction To The Theoretical Perspectives Cluster, Carmen G. Gonzalez
The Global Politics Of Food: Introduction To The Theoretical Perspectives Cluster, Carmen G. Gonzalez
Carmen G. Gonzalez
The corporate-dominated, fossil-fuel dependent model of agricultural production has produced chronic undernourishment, an epidemic of obesity and diet-related diseases, and unprecedented ecological devastation. In May 2010, the Universidad Interamericana in Mexico City hosted an international conference on The Global Politics of Food: Sustainability and Subordination. Sponsored by Latina and Latino Critical Legal Theory, Inc. and by Seattle University School of Law, the conference took place under the auspices of the South-North Exchange on Theory, Culture and Law (SNX), a yearly gathering of scholars in the Americas that seeks to foster transnational, cross-disciplinary and inter-cultural dialogue on current issues in law, …

History, Strategy And True Believers: Combining Rational Choice Theory And Social Movement Theory To Explain The Effectiveness Of Social Movements, Joanne Sweeny
JoAnne Sweeny
Both Rational Choice Theory and Social Movement Theory attempt to explain how public interest groups can influence political actors to enact progressive legislation or case law. Yet neither of these theories present a clear picture of what must be present for a social movement to succeed nor what must be absent for it to fail. For example, the bill of rights movement in the United Kingdom resulted in the Human Rights Act 1998 while the United States’ gay rights movement, which began to gain momentum around the same time, has had much more inconsistent success. This article addresses this problem …

The Global Food Crisis: Law, Policy, And The Elusive Quest For Justice, Carmen G. Gonzalez
The Global Food Crisis: Law, Policy, And The Elusive Quest For Justice, Carmen G. Gonzalez
Carmen G. Gonzalez
The food crisis of 2008, the subsequent financial crisis, and the ongoing climate crisis have created new challenges to the attainment of global food security. This essay examines the historic and current practices that have contributed to food insecurity in developing countries, and recommends several steps that the international community might take to promote the fundamental human right to food. The essay begins by outlining the trade and aid policies that laid the foundation for food insecurity in the global South from colonialism until the early twenty-first century. It then examines the impact of the financial crisis and the climate …
Complementarity And Alternative Justice, Gregory S. Gordon
Complementarity And Alternative Justice, Gregory S. Gordon
Gregory S. Gordon
Certain commentators believe that domestic resort to alternative justice mechanisms (ARMs), such as Uganda's "mato oput" (a local tribal rite) or truth commissions, can relieve the International Criminal Court of its obligation to prosecute under the complementarity principle. However, this literature provides only general suggestions for how the ICC could determine whether alternative mechanisms render a case inadmissible under the complementarity regime. This article proposes a concrete set of analytic criteria the ICC can use to formulate an admissibility test for conducting complementarity analysis in difficult cases of municipal reliance on ARMs. The admissibility test entails consideration and parsing of …
The Right Of Property In Situations Of Armed Conflict: The Application Of Ihl Principles By The European Court Of Human Rights, Maheta Matteo Molango
The Right Of Property In Situations Of Armed Conflict: The Application Of Ihl Principles By The European Court Of Human Rights, Maheta Matteo Molango
Maheta Matteo Molango
The proliferation of non-international armed conflicts over the last three decades have contributed to draw the attention of scholars and commentators on the complex interrelationship between international humanitarian law (IHL) and human rights law. In Europe, contrary to the encouraging steps taken in other regional systems of human rights’ protection such as the Inter-American system, the activity of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has been characterized by its reluctance to apply IHL provisions to situations were arguably it should or even shall have use the laws of war as authoritative guidance.
This paper focuses on the analysis of …
