Responsibility To Protect: Arab Spring Perspectives, Rob Dickinson Apr 2014

Responsibility To Protect: Arab Spring Perspectives, Rob Dickinson

Buffalo Human Rights Law Review

In this article important issues of legitimacy of government and external interference in the affairs of a State are raised. As a prelimi- nary, the rights and obligations of a State with regard to territorial integrity and sovereignty are considered, prior to analyses of the emergent concept of the responsibility to protect and the principle of self-determination. The article then takes into account events of the Arab Spring, before the author concludes by drawing lessons for States, not only those whose people look to change their own govern- ments, or style of governments, but also those intent on intervention in …


The Chaplaincy Exception In International Humanitarian Law: "American-Born Cleric" Anwar Awlaki And The Global War On Terror, K. Benson Apr 2014

The Chaplaincy Exception In International Humanitarian Law: "American-Born Cleric" Anwar Awlaki And The Global War On Terror, K. Benson

Buffalo Human Rights Law Review

Anwar al-Awlaki, frequently described by the media as an "Ameri- can-born cleric," was the first American citizen to be targeted for extrajudicial assassination by the Obama administration as part of the Global War on Terror (GWOT). While there have been scholarly works considering the legality of his killing under domestic law, none have examined his status as a chaplain under International Humanita- rian Law (IHL), what this designation could mean for the legality of Anwar al-Alwaki's killing, or what his killing could mean for the GWOT in general. This paper provides a necessarily brief history of Al Qaeda in the …

Terrorism And Human Rights: Power, Culture, And Subordination, Makau Mutua Sep 2002

Terrorism And Human Rights: Power, Culture, And Subordination, Makau Mutua

Buffalo Human Rights Law Review

This piece analyzes the effects of the global war on terror in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. The author argues that under the pretext of a global war on terrorism, the United States has set out to dominate the globe in a campaign that will undoubtedly influence human rights, and diminish their respect and enforcement. Human rights will now be defined by the United States to exclude and narrow them while putting pressure on large international institutions such as the United Nations to subordinate itself to other American interests. Thinkers and advocates should work together to craft a …
