To Bring To An End The State Of War: The Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty, John F. Murphy
To Bring To An End The State Of War: The Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty, John F. Murphy
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This article will describe and evaluate the Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty, and set it in historical and contemporary perspective in order to highlight some of the primary problems facing decision-makers in their deliberations on approaches to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East. The article will then consider alternative courses of action available to the world community in light of principles of the United Nations Charter and of other sources of public international law and justice, political feasibility and the perceived interests of all parties to the conflict. Lastly, it will suggest new approaches to the problem, with a view …

Whither The Commission On Human Rights: A Report After The 35th Session, Gerson Smoger
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The statement that the Commission on Human Rights "functions as the focal point of the United Nation's concentration on the international observance of human rights" is fraught with definitional inconsistencies. Throughout its existence one of the main problems faced by the members of the Commission has been to agree upon the appropriate limits of the expression "human rights." The question arises whether the term includes the right of a retired school teacher to speak out against his country's employment practices or his entitlement to receive social security after his departure from the teaching force. If these are both considered to …

Dalhousie Law Journal
The renewal of the Federation must confirm the pre-eminence of citizens over institutions, guarantee their rights and freedoms and ensure that these rights and freedoms are inalienable. 1 These words from Prime Minister Trudeau are a reflection of the concern today for protection of individual rights and freedoms. His words also reflect the past concerns with protection of individual rights and freedoms particularly in countries which espouse democratic principles. He has recognized that the balance between individual and state interests must be struck in favour of the individual. In order to achieve this result, there must be some consensus in …

Are Human Rights Good For International Business , Anthony D'Amato
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
When I take up the Nuremberg cases in my class in International Law, I find it quite difficult to convey to the students how radical those proceedings appeared to be in 1947. At that time, the contention that there should be individual accountability under international law seemed to constitute an unfounded and dangerous precedent. How could political leaders be made personally responsible for acts of state such as instituting a war (even an "aggressive" war) or engaging in wholly internal policies (the "final solution" against Jews and other minorities of their own citizens)? Indeed, the Nuremberg result seemed somewhat unprincipled …
Science, Technology And Human Rights, Yoram Dinstein
Science, Technology And Human Rights, Yoram Dinstein
Dalhousie Law Journal
The rapid development of science and technology, particularly in the last generation, has had a tremendous impact on human rights. Many, perhaps most, human rights are adversely affected - in actuality or potentiality - by modern machines.' The subject has been discussed at great length by scientists and statesmen, lawyers and laymen, preachers and futurologists. But, to understand it in its proper perspective, it is believed that a typological approach is called for. It is necessary to distinguish between four different types of cases, in accordance with the nature of the relationship between science and technology, on the one hand, …

The Right To Life, George P. Fletcher
Faculty Scholarship
In the theory of rights we repeatedly encounter the problem of reconciling someone's having a right with his properly suffering damage to the interest protected by the right. In the case of right to life, we have to assess numerous cases in which individuals are killed or allowed to die, and we wish nonetheless to affirm their right to life. These cases include killing an aggressor in self-defense, accidental homicide, terminating life-sustaining therapy, and capital punishment.
My program in this Article is to provide an account of how it is that those with a right to life may nonetheless be …
