Tibet To Tienanmen: Chinese Human Rights And United States Foreign Policy, W. Gary Vause
Tibet To Tienanmen: Chinese Human Rights And United States Foreign Policy, W. Gary Vause
Vanderbilt Law Review
The roof of the world, land of the snows, alleged home of the Abominable Snowman, and place for the timeless meeting of mountain and sky--these are the Western visions of Tibet.' Most Americans know little else about this strange and exotic land shrouded in historical obscurity. Modern Tibet is a curious stockpot of native Tibetans and immigrant Chinese, which until recently was seasoned with increasing numbers of Western tourists, backpackers of all ages, vagabonds,and visitors from neighboring Nepal.'On June 4, 1989, China's 27th Army brutally crushed democracy demonstrations that had extended for seven weeks in Beijing and other Chinese cities. …
The Politics Of The Imagination: A Life Of F.R. Scott, J King Gordon
The Politics Of The Imagination: A Life Of F.R. Scott, J King Gordon
Dalhousie Law Journal
The task of a biographer is a challenging one at best. And when the subject is one who has achieved distinction in many fields the difficulties are magnified many times. Better, perhaps, to settle for a Festschift where colleagues and friends in fields in which the subject has excelled join together to pay their separate tributes. So in the case of Frank Scott and his biographer, Sandra Djwa. She is a professor of literature and has achieved recognition for the work she has done on the writings and life of E.J. Pratt. It was undoubtedly Frank Scott, the distinguished Canadian …
The Concept And Present Status Of The International Protection Of Human Rights: Forty Years After The Universal Declaration, Annemieke Holthius
The Concept And Present Status Of The International Protection Of Human Rights: Forty Years After The Universal Declaration, Annemieke Holthius
Dalhousie Law Journal
John P. Humphrey, the first Director of the Human Rights Division of the United Nations, in his preface to The Concept and Present Status of the International Protection of Human Rights - Forty Years after the Universal Declaration, observes that the question of the international protection of human rights "has received far too little attention from scholars, statesmen, diplomats and human rights activists". There "has so far been no attempt ... to provide a comprehensive account" of the concept of "protection" within the international law of human rights. In his new book, Dr. B.G. Ramcharan, the distinguished lawyer-adviser in the …
Interdependence And Permeability Of Human Rights Norms: Towards A Partial Fusion Of The International Covenants On Human Rights, Craig Scott
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Using the doctrine of interdependence of human rights as a starting point, the author considers the extent to which international human rights norms located in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) "permeate" the parallel International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), thereby permitting certain social and economic rights to be subjected to the individual petition procedure under the ICCPR's Optional Protocol. After elucidating the notion of interdependence, the author evaluates the salience of the concept in international human rights discourse, and weighs this against arguments for the continued normative separation of the Covenants based on …

Does International Human Rights Law Have Something To Teach Monetary Law?, Cynthia C. Lichtenstein
Does International Human Rights Law Have Something To Teach Monetary Law?, Cynthia C. Lichtenstein
Michigan Journal of International Law
Although the subject of exchange controls, a substantial part of international monetary law, seems hardly at first glance to be as gripping a matter of international concern as international human rights, the first glance neglects the place of exchange controls in the life blood of developing nations. If, instead of referring to exchange controls, one speaks of the human costs of the international debt crisis, the point is quickly made. Students in a class in international monetary law do see a connection between the outflow of hard currency to repay external debt and the political consequences for a nation that, …

Arrest First, Ask Questions Later: The Japanese Police Detention System, Christopher James Neumann
Arrest First, Ask Questions Later: The Japanese Police Detention System, Christopher James Neumann
Penn State International Law Review
The Japanese police detention system enables police and prosecutors to detain criminal suspects for up to twenty-three days without a formal charge, thus posing numerous human rights problems. This comment concentrates on the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which provides a means for identifying the human rights abuses occurring under the Japanese police detention system, as well as a method for rectifying such abuses.
Saving Grace Or Saving Face: The Roman Catholic Church And Human Rights, John A. Onorato
Saving Grace Or Saving Face: The Roman Catholic Church And Human Rights, John A. Onorato
Penn State International Law Review
The first part of this Comment examines the structure and organization of the Roman Catholic Church, the means of papal diplomacy, and the Vatican's participation in international organizations. Special attention is focused on the Code of Canon Law, the Lateran Agreements, and other important documents. The second part of this Comment examines the role the Church plays as a protector of human rights. This focuses on the Church's actions and recent history in two nations, Chile and Poland, and examines the effects of papal visits to these countries and the publication of papal encyclicals dealing with human rights.
The Dust Of Life: The Legal And Political Ramifications Of The Continuing Vietnamese Amerasian Problem, Ernest C. Robear
The Dust Of Life: The Legal And Political Ramifications Of The Continuing Vietnamese Amerasian Problem, Ernest C. Robear
Penn State International Law Review
Vietnamese disparagingly refer to them as bui doi. Americans refer to them as persons "of particular humanitarian concern to the United States." In both cases the reference is to Amerasians, the children and young adults of mixed American/Asian parentage. For the purpose of this Comment, an Amerasian may be defined as one whose mother is Asian and whose father is American. Since the last United States forces pulled out of Vietnam on April 30, 1975, these Amerasians have been caught up in a bureaucratic tug-of-war between Washington and Hanoi. Despite positive legislation, the problems faced by Vietnamese Amerasians still …
From Red Lion Square To Skokie To The Fatal Shore: Racial Defamation And Freedom Of Speech, David Partlett
From Red Lion Square To Skokie To The Fatal Shore: Racial Defamation And Freedom Of Speech, David Partlett
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Article addresses, against the backdrop of possible legislative reforms in Australia, the tension between the desire to eliminate racial defamation and the need to protect freedom of speech. In an historical overview, Mr. Partlett notes an increasing sensitivity to racial issues in Australia in the face of an assumed but nebulously stated value of free speech. Mr. Partlett analyzes theoretical and legal approaches to free speech from Commonwealth and United States perspectives, and analysis of recent legal and social developments in civil rights in the United States makes this Article relevant for both Commonwealth and United States reformers in …
Corruption, Legal Education And Change In West Africa: A Broader View Of Human Rights, Suzanne B. Goldberg
Corruption, Legal Education And Change In West Africa: A Broader View Of Human Rights, Suzanne B. Goldberg
Faculty Scholarship
"Will we ever move again?" I wondered as I sat with my knees jammed into my chin, sore from the long and bumpy ride on the wooden plank which lined the back of a "bush taxi" – the only public transport between villages in Northern Mali. The "taxi" was actually a rusty and roadworn pickup truck packed with more than two dozen men, women and children, more than I ever imagined could fit in the small, flat space between the cab and the tailgate. "Why are we stopping now?" I smiled at myself as I felt a sense of exasperation …
On Human Rights: The Use Of Human Right Precepts In U.S. History And The Right To An Effective Remedy In Domestic Courts, Jordan J. Paust
On Human Rights: The Use Of Human Right Precepts In U.S. History And The Right To An Effective Remedy In Domestic Courts, Jordan J. Paust
Michigan Journal of International Law
Early in the history of the United States, human rights, then often termed the "rights of man," were understood to be those natural, unalienable rights of all persons that no government on earth could deny - rights that are a part of law, whether written or unwritten, and that free and democratic governments are formed to further and to protect. As Alexander Hamilton recognized in 1775, "the sacred rights of mankind... are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature… and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power." Yet, as Hamilton must have known, …
"Federal" Aspects Of The European Convention On Human Rights, Colin Warbrick
"Federal" Aspects Of The European Convention On Human Rights, Colin Warbrick
Michigan Journal of International Law
The inquiry pursued in this paper has been prompted by a paradox. In the United States, the Supreme Court has been reluctant to find any constitutional limitations upon the power of the States to allow the administration of corporal punishment in schools, despite being able to rely on the national Bill of Rights - in the interpretation of which the Court has many times circumscribed the power of the State governments in other contexts. The result has been that some children have been left without redress when they have been subjected to exceptionally severe punishment. Under the system of the …
Terrorism, Law, And Our Constitutional Order, Christopher L. Blakesley
Terrorism, Law, And Our Constitutional Order, Christopher L. Blakesley
Scholarly Works
We have all suffered moments of vicarious terror over the past few years as we watched news accounts of terrorist incidents, such as the downing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. There, some institution, government, or group used innocent children, women, and men as fodder for their “war.” Some have claimed that the pusillanimous carnage was in retaliation for the slaughter of equivalent innocents aboard the Iranian Air Bus, similarly destroyed by American forces during the summer of 1988. Others suggested that it was committed by those interested in thwarting prospects of peace in the Middle East.

Conscientious Objection In South Africa: Governmental Paranoia And The Law Of Conscription, Lynn Berat
Conscientious Objection In South Africa: Governmental Paranoia And The Law Of Conscription, Lynn Berat
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
By the end of 1975, Mozambique and Angola' had gained independence; in 1980, Rhodesia became black majority ruled Zimbabwe.' Although it is currently occupied illegally by South Africa in contravention of both a United Nations Security Council Resolution and an advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice,' even Namibia (also known as South West Africa) will soon become an independent state.' No longer surrounded by a buffer zone of white minority ruled states separating it from black ruled Africa, South Africa stands alone, the last outpost of white supremacy on the continent.
Amidst all of these developments, the South …
Isolationism Or Deference? The Alien Tort Claims Act And The Separation Of Powers, Victor A. Pappalardo
Isolationism Or Deference? The Alien Tort Claims Act And The Separation Of Powers, Victor A. Pappalardo
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Note examines the rationales behind Filartiga and other cases which have had the opportunity to pass upon its holding, notably the holdings in Tel-Oren v. Libyan Arab Republic and Forti v. Suarez- Mason. It then focuses on the validity of these rationales with respect to the constitutional separation of powers scheme. In so doing, it analyzes Filartiga's conclusions in light of the act of state and political question doctrines, two closely interrelated doctrines which have been at the forefront of the separation of powers criticisms of Filartiga. This Note concludes by suggesting that a clear case exists …

Section 1983 And The Reaganization Of The Sixth Circuit: Closing The Doors To The Federal Courthouse, Steven H. Steinglass
Section 1983 And The Reaganization Of The Sixth Circuit: Closing The Doors To The Federal Courthouse, Steven H. Steinglass
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
This article looks at the most significant developments in section 1983 litigation in the Sixth Circuit during the two-year period from January 1, 1987 to December 31, 1988. The emphasis is on the remedial and procedural issues that arise in section 1983 litigation rather than on the underlying federal constitutional and statutory rights enforceable through section 1983.

Issues Raised By The Abortion Rescue Movement, Charles E. Rice
Issues Raised By The Abortion Rescue Movement, Charles E. Rice
Journal Articles
The civil rights protests of the fifties and sixties taught the nation about the relation of the enacted law to the higher law of justice. Though less favorably publicized, the abortion rescue movement provides another such teaching moment today. As with the civil rights protests, the abortion rescue movement involves ordinary people putting their bodies on the line-and in jail-to vindicate their conception of justice. The rescue movement raises issues that transcend the question of whether one approves or disapproves of abortion. This paper examines what society might learn from the Operation Rescue movement about the weaknesses of our law.
